The late election in this County was more of a farce than of a reality—only about 11,000 votes in all having been polled. The Democratic vote was only half out, as will be apparent from the official returns.

These As to his antagonist on the bloody field, we do not envy him his feelings, unless he be hardened in iniquity. It is said that Mr. Broderick gave the first insult which led to the duel. This may be so, but still it does not justify Judge Terry, in the eyes of Gud or man, in challenging him to mortal combat. The laws of California and of every other State in the Union are amply sufficient, if properly executed, to avenge the wounded honor of any man, and where law prevails no r.ode'ducllo should be permitted to exist. If justice was administered without fear, favor or affection, the surviving principal and all the seconds, on both sides, should be made to suffer i>r the murder of their fellow citizen. THE BALTIMORE ELECTION The election held on Wednesday in Balti more, for members of the City Couucil, j resulted in the success of a majority of Americans through the usual means of j violence and intimidation. In summing up the result, the Sun remarks: “There is not a doubt in the mind of any • impartial man that, with a fair election and J unmolested polls, almost every nominee of the reform association would have been elect ed. Every device was resorted to to drive from the polls respectable men, known as friends of reform, and especially naturalized citizens ; and so persistent and violent was the rowdyism at the ninth ward polls, that Colonel Miles, the candidate of the reformers, withdrew from the contest at mid day, with the intention of retiring his friends from insult. The returns show, notwithstanding, a very favorable state of the polls in this ward, and the election of the opposition candidate by only sixteen votes. “That the ‘ circular ’ of the Mayor was observed neither in the letter nor the spirit, wa9 manifest throughout the day. Public sentiment exacted a little more decency in the conduct even of the most depraved and irresponsible ; and the reformers were obliged to win what they have from the degradation of the past by dint of hard, unwearying effort and dauntless energy. The good work has been well begun, and with earnest perseve ranee will be brought out to the perfect day, and our city be at length thoroughly retrieved from the despoiling bands of party. ” The vote at this election has served to show beyond controversy that extensive frauds were practised by the partizans of Mayor Swan last year, when he was elected by a majority of eighteen thousand. The total vote polled in nineteen wards on Wednesday was as follows: American majority 1,325 In the same wards at the Mayor’s election last fall the vote stood Swann, American.... Shutt, Independent. Swann’s majority 17,9!'S Total number of votes polled in nineteen wards last fa 11...., 27.60 S Number on Wednesday 16,707 The Sunday Question — The Mayor of Pittsburg is givingan entirely new and inter esting aspect to the Sunday question. lie has been appealed to enforce the observance of the Sabbath, and having stopped the run ning of railway cars, he Sunday week took in hand the glittering carriages of the aristocra cy, and while the owners were devoutly worshipping in the churches, the police were taking the names of the liveried coachmen at the door, the rank and station of the master, &e., with a view to the enforcement upon them also of the law of 1794. The movement is rather a curious ono, but there is fairness, in it; and what adds to the zest of the proceed ing is the fact that among the coachmen for whom warrants were issued on Monday are those of the Rev. Dr. Lyman, Pastor of Trinity Church, and other clergymen equally zealous in opposing Sunday travel, Chief Justice Lowrie of the Supreme Court, and quite a number of affluent citizens. Tiie Late Indian Outrages. —The Post Office Department has information that in the recent attack by the Kiowa Indians on the Santa Fe mail, the conductors, were mur dered. It is further announced that Colonel Sumner, commanding the Department of the .West, as soon as he heard, of the fatal occurrence, despatched a company of dra goons to Pawnee Fork to protect the mail and punish the offending Indians. Hopes are entertained that this prompt and energetic action on the part of Colonel Sumner will result in the capture of the murderers of Smith and his brother, and the rescue of the passengers by the overdue mail. It is proba ble that it will be found necessary to station a party of troops at Pawnee Fork to escort the mail thence to Cold Spring, and thus obviate the recurrence of such a calamity as that which it is ourpainful.duty to annonnee. LATEST FROM EUROPE The news from Europe again begins to look warlike. It is stated that Austria and Sar dinia are making warlike preparations, and that the French army of occupation is to be reinforced. It is also reported that the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena have organized a large force to attack the army of Central Italy. The latest accounts from China confirm the rumor of the nominal imprisonment of the American Minister at Pekin. The Paris Payes says, Mr. Ward and the entire American Legation were conveyed to Pekin in a huge travelling car from which only the sky was visible. They were well treated but were not allowed to see anything and were confined to the house at Pekin awaiting an interview with the Emperor, after which they will return to the frontier, in the same manner as they came. PHILADELPHIA ELECTION. The vote was small, about 56,000.. The majority for the Republican candidate for Auditor General, Mr. Cochran, was' 3,150, and for Surveyor General 3,495. ,Ihe Oppo- Bition elected both Senators, and eleven of the seventeen Representatives. -Newark City Election.— The Democrats carried this city at the municipal election held on Tuesday. Moses Bigelow was chosen Mayor by 630 majority. Most of the other Democratic candidates are elected, by smaller majorities. notea we advise our readers not to touch with a forty-fi>ot pole—or rather to touch them only with euch a pole.

McKean County Bank Common self respect, we repeat, should induce all the bucks in the Stats to keep their notes at par in the city of Philadelphia, which would be tantamount to keeping them at pur at every other point in the Commonwealth. A rHusal to do so, causes their uotes to be under and wnrth less than the amount called for on the face of them, everywhere except in the immediate vicinity of the respec. • jv!« institutions. Tbi«. it is supposed, is their object.— Having lost their seif respect, they pursue that course which will keep their paper in circulation the longest; and if it should he destroyed and never returned upon them, so much the better. Common honesty should induce these bauks to redeem their notes in the metropolis. As it is, they have an un derstanding with different brokers, who buy their notes from business people (who are compelled to take them of their customers from the interior) at a discouut of one half per cent, on the dollar—one quarter per cent, ol which goes to the broker; aud the other quarter to the bank.— The bank thus receives $100.25 iu coin, or its equivalent, for every sloo.of its paper! But this is not all,—the broker does not return this currency to the bank; the mutual understanding goes farther : —be loans itout again . in the very faco of the city banks, to needy people, and j receives for this service one-quarter per cent. And so the | mill keeps grinding their grists to their own aggrandise ment aud the injury of the public. If this is honest con duct, and allowable in a Christian community, we with- draw our objections and apologize. By the iufluonce of these delinquent banks, the act of Assembly which was in force one or two yeare, compelling them to maintain their notes at par in Philadelphia, was lately most unwisely repealed, thus giving them full power to flood .the State with their spotted paper, with little or no fear of being required to redeem it. We have a lively hope, however, that the next Legislature will restore this judicious law and increase the penalty for its violation. In the meantime, the notes of these black sheep should be repudiated out of their respective counties, or wherever they are refused by banks—a list of which, both in this and adjoining States, is herewith annexed: LIBT OF BOUND, PAR BANKS.

The most interesting news by this arrival relates to the discovery of the remains of Sir John Franklin’s Arctic Expedition, which sailed frum England in May, 1845. The substance of the intelligence is as follows: The screw steamer, Fox, Capt. McClintock, sent by Lady Franklin to the Arctic regions in search of traces Franklin expedition, has returned to England, having been com pletely successful. At Point William, on the north-west coast of King lsland, a_ record was found, dated April 25th, 1848, signed by Captains Crozier and Fitz James. The record says the Erebus and Terror were abandoned three days previously in the ice, five leagues to the N. N. W., and that the survivors, in all amounting to 105, were proceeding to Great Fish River. Sir John Franklin had died June 11, lo4i, and the total deaths to date had been 9 officers and 15 men. Many deeply interesting personal relics of the expedition were found on the western shore of King William’s Island, and others were obtained from the Esquimaux, who stated that after the abandonment, one ship was crushed in the ice and sunk, and the other was forced on shore, where she remains. The Fox was unable to penetrate beyond Bellot Straits, and wintered in Brentford Bay. The search included the estuary of Great Fish river; and the discovery of 800 miles of coast line, uniting the former explorations, was performed by sledge journeys during the last spring. Minute and interesting details of the expedition are published. Several skele tons of Franklin’s men, large quantities of clothing, &c., and a duplicate record up to the abandonment of the ships, were discovered. The Zurich Conference, it is said, has at last concluded a treaty of peace, in which the preliminaries arranged at Villafranca are to be strictly maintained. The question of the Duchies, also, seems to have found a solution, but precisely in what way none of the news paper authorities can state with exactness. — There are several rumors, the most prominent of which seems to be, that the fortresses of Peschiera and Mantua, and the States of Modena and Parma, are to be ceded to Sar dinia, while the House of Lorraine is to be re-instated in Tuscany, and the Legations are to be restored to the Pope. Venetia is to have a. government and army of its own, under the Archduke Maximilian. The health of .the Pope remains in an alarming state, and the King of Prussia is The English press comment in a much milder and'more pacific manner in regard to the San Juan Island dispute. The island is claimed as absolutely necessary to British interests, but moderation is counselled. . Later.— The steamer Indian brings four days later advices, but there is nothing impor tant. The Zurich Conference was still in session, but it is said their, labors are nearly completed; and it is stated that so soon as some difficulties in the negotiations are surmounted, a treaty of peace will be signed by France and Austria, and then a European Congress will be held at Brussels. It is considered doubtful whether the steamer Great Eastern got ready for sea during the month of October. Dates from Hong Kong, China, to August 10 had been received at London. Nothing of moment had occurred since the battle. The statement that the American Minister had gone to Pekin is not confirmed by these accounts; by way of St. Petersburg, however, we have a rumor that Mr. Ward had arrived at Pekin. DEATH OF MR. MASON. The latest foreign arrival brings intelligence of the death of Hon. John Y. Mason, U. S. Minister at Paris. He died of apoplexy, on the 3d inst. CITY AND COUNTY AFFAIRS. ''Greek Spot.-*.—Amid th° *enenl *weep by the ‘'Opposition” in this county. Vires, districts remained firm and bravely faced the storm viz; Bart. Colerain and Maytown. Bart and Colerain are always right, haring never yet swerved from the good old Democratic path. In Maytown the gldrioos Democracy have nobly done their dnty, having made a gain over last year’s vote, when there was a tie. It gives na pleasure to state that fanaticism and bigotry can gain no foothold in these refreshing springe, as it were, in the dreary desert of Black Republican waste Their examplo is truly worthy of imitation. Lectures.—A- series of lectures, on scien tific and moral subjects, will be delivered in the Duke Street M. E. Church, by Rev. J. A. McParlane. The first of the course, on the "Physical Changes of the Globe,” will be given on tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, at T o’clock.— The proceeds, after defraying the necessary expenses, are to be given to the Sunday School cause. Distinguished Arrival. —Dr. Theodore Evans, of Paris, is uow in the city, and stopping at Mich ael’s Hotel. The Dr. and his brother, Dr.TBOMAS W. Evans, were formerly residents of this city, and they enjoyed a large and lucrative practice in their profession. They left here some nine years ago for Paris, and now occupy the important position of Dentistsr»to the Emperor Napoleon and the Imperial family. Since their residence in Paris their services have been required at several of the most prominent European Courts. Their reputation is world wide. Dr. Evans isiooking exceedingly well, and has been warmly greeted by his many friends and acquaintances in our midst. The Great Domestic Economist. — Kieifer’s Portable Calorific Boiler is receiving a reputation abroad as well as at home. We are pleased to learn that orders have been forwarded from many citizens of adjoining States for this Labor-Saving and Fuel-Saving Boiler—to such an extent as to induce citizens of Philadelphia and Pittsburg to make arrangements to supply the increasing demand. Gen. Frederick Hambrigbt, nf Pittsburg, and Mr. Daniel F. Roberts, of Philadelphia, are now in thi6 city, and have made arrangements with the Patentee, Mr. Kieffer, to fill the numerous orders, and sell the rights in the States of Ohio and Illinois, and the western counties oi Pennsylva nia. Several large sales have already been made, and Gen. 11. contemplates establishing his depot in Allegheny City, to Buit his numerous friends and customers. » 5 “ 10 “ “ 35 “ We have already given a description and spoken in favor able terms of this great invention, and a large number of hotel and housekeepers, in this city and county, who are now using it, have commended it to general favor. We trust that our old and gallant friend, Gen. Uambright, will meet with liberal success iu his new undertaking. No man is more richly deserving of the same. Coleman, 41£ North Queen Street. — We invite the attention of our readers to the advertisement of Coleman, the well-known proprietor of the Franklin Hall Clothing Store, AV/, North Queen street. His establishment has been thoroughly refitted and enlarged, and is now one of the neatest and largest in tho city. Coleman is known for his prompt business qualities, polite attentions and agreeable mauners. and has, as a necessary consequence, troops of friends and customers. - Sabbath School Teachers’ Convention.— This morniDg, at 10 o’clock, the Convention of Officers and Teachers of the Sabbath Schools of the City and County of Lancaster, will commence its sessions in the basement of St. Paul’s German Reformed Charch, (Rev. Mr. Demund’s.) Orauge and Duke streets, and continue one or more days, as may be deemed expedient. Several distinguished speak ers aud warm friends of the cause, from abroad, are expected to be present and address tho convention on tho occasiou. The oxercises of tho meeting during the day will be interspersed with remarks from the clergy, officers and teachers, relative to the best and most efficient mode of promoting the Sabbath School cause; and in the evening addresses will be delivered in the audience room of the church. The friends of the Sabbath School cause, as well as the community in general, are respectfully invited to attend the sessions of the Convention. The Sabbath School Union Ilymn Books will bo used during tho exercises. Hancock. Lodge, No. 28, A. O. G. F.—The following gentlemen were elected officers of Hancock Lodge, No. 28, Ancient Order of Good Fellows, for the ensuing quarter: W. Q., A. N. Zell; W. V. G., J. M. Channel; M. C., A. K. Blair; W. F. and R. S., William B. Strine; W. T., S. 3. Patterson; W. W., 11. W. Yille; W. J. W., Jacob Weitzel; W. T., Jacub Foose ; W. J. T., Michael J. GrofT. Death at the Polls.— On Tuesday last Philip Boley, while engaged in handing out tickets at tho polls in Neffsville, in this county, died suddenly from an attack of apoplexy. Mr. Boloy was orginally from New Holland, but once kept bar at the Red Lion, and at another time kept a hotel in West King street, in this.city. The New Depot.—Judging from the plans for the new Depot, which tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany are about to erect, the edifice will be a credit to the company and an ornament to our city. It will front on Chesnut street 255 feet, and on North Queen street 85 feet. The front on Chesnut street will bo open, supported by a series of cast iron columns ; 50 feot of tho space next these columns will bo occupied by three tracks, one for the accommodation of an up and down train each, and tho third for a branch train. The depot will be long enough for a full train under cover. The main entrance of tho office department will be on North Queen street adjoining the track, that portion of the front being 35 feet wide and two stories high. The lower story of the part of the structure will ruu the entire length of the depot, and be divided into a ladies’and gentlemen’s sitting room, ticket office, baggage room, express room, offices, and a large refreshment room, water closets, and all the modern conveniences of a first ■ class depot. There will also be entrances from the sitting rooms opening to the south, so that passengers can step right into the cardf while the express and other baggage will be taken in through the alley on the north side of the depot. The car house will he built of icon in the most neat and substantial manner, thoroughly fire proof, and the front on North Queen street of pressed brick and cut stone, presenting a handsome appearance. Altogether, we think the plan the best that could have been adopted for general convenience and neatness of design. Receipts at the County Fair.—The re- ceipts of the late County Fair, it is said, amounted to between $3 000 and $4,000. This will bo amply sufficient to pay all expenses, aud leave a handsome sum towards liquidating the debt resting on tbo Society. Wo are glad to hear this. After all the efforts of a small bevy of inter ested persons to decry the officers and managers of our Agricultural Society, the people of Lancaster county have come forward and nobly sustained them in their endeavors to give an exhibition worthy the fame of the greatest agricultural county in the Union. The New Ticket Arrangement recently adopted by the Northern Central and Pennsylvania Rail* road Companies is coming into general use on the leading railroads. It consists of a case very neatly and conveni ently arranged with 193 compartments, each compartment bolding a number of tickets, and so arranged that a ticket can be slipped out from below without disturbing those above. Each compartment represents a station, and the ticket for one station is readily distinguished from another. The ticket agent is also furnished with a small press, by which the date of the ticket is printed in a moment. The entire arrangement is a great saving of labor in signing and registering tickets, and it works with great precision. It also saves the agent the labor of making daily returns of the sale of tickets. The inventor certainly made “a good hit,” as we understand he gets $lO,OOO for the right to use it on a single railroad. Lecture by Prentice. —The distinguished and gifted editor and poet, Georoe D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal , will deliver the first lecture of the winter’s course before the Historical, Agricultural and Mechanics’ Institute, of this city, on Thursday evening, the 27thjjnst. All who heard the eloquent, sarcastic and witty Prentice last wiuter will embrace the opportunity again. His subject will be “American Statesmanship.” Feast of the Tabernacles. —On Wednes day last the Jewish festivul of Tabernacles commenced.— The origin of the celebration is found in Leviticus xxiii: 43. One of the peculiarities of the feast is the erection of booths or tents, roofed with leases. This is done in com memoration of the dwelling in tents by the children of Israel duriDg their sojourning in the wilderness. The booth, according to the Rabbinical law, must not be com pletely roofed or covered up, but must be thatched in such a manner as to admit of the view of the sky and stars. The feast lasts seTen days. Columbia Affairs.— We glean the follow ing “items” from Saturday’s Spy: A Serenade. —We are indebted to the gentlemen of the Hiawatha Club for a delightful serenade by the Fencibles’ Band of Lancaster. The Band was employed by the Club to ssrenado one of the members lately “joined,”—not newly admitted to the Hiawatha brotherhood, but united iu holy bonds with a young lady sympathizer—and, as a spice of variety, included us, a melancholy old bachelor, in the compliment. We return our sincere thanks. We have before “spoken out” with regard to the Feocibles’ Band ; it is an honor to the company and regiment, and the Lan casterians are rightly proud of it. Fatal Railroad Accident.—On Monday afternoon Sam uel Irwin, a brakesman on the Pennsylvania Railroad, was fatally injured on the road, near the Lower Depot below this borough. He was about getting on to the train, on which he was employed, when a train passing on the ad joining track struck and knocked him down,and a portion of bis own train passed OTer his arm and shoulder.— The arm was crushed and nearly torn from the socket, and the bones of the shoulder broken. The injured man walked, with assistance, to the Franklin House, a distance of three quarters of a mile from the scene of the accident, where he was attended by several of our physicians. He expressed a desire to have Dr. John L. Atlee, Sr., of Lancaster, as surgeon to operate in the necessary amputation, and that gentleman arrived by the 3.30 train. Ho found the patient too weak to sustain the operation, the shock to the system having been too severe for any hope of reaction. Mr. Irwin died the same evening between nine and ten o’clock. He was a Bteady, industrious yonng man, and a favorite with employers and fellow employees. Much sympathy is ex pressed for the unfortunate man by the community. Accidental Death.—On Sunday, 9th inst., Deputy Coro ner Hollingsworth held an ioqnest on the body ot a Ger man, found dead that morning at Reese’s Lime Kilns, back of the Canal Basin, in this borough. The deceased was a stranger, had apparently laid down near the Kilns, and had been suffocated by the gas. A verdict in accordance with these facts was rendered. The remains were coarsely clad, but in a bundle aad carpet bag, found beside the body, was a quantity of good clothing, and four and a half dollars in change. Among ths effects was a German Cath olic Prayer Book, on a fly leaf of which was written in German: “Peter Gl&zer bought this book in Bayardstown, near Pittsburg—Peter Gl&zer, from Lochweiler, Burgomas ter City, Trier, Germany." On a scrap of paper, enfolding some change, was written : “Salunga, Lancaster county.” These data may lead to the fate of the unfortunate man being conveyed to his friends. . Serious Accident. —On Friday last a son of Mr. Peter Senger, of Penn township, aged about 14 years, mot with a very serious accident- It appears he was as sisting to thrash with a machine, and, when in the act of stopping It, he was caught by and entangled in the strap close by the cylinder, causing a compound fracture of both bones of the fure-arm, about two inches, above the wrist, and producing dislocation of both bones at the elbow. The ulna was laid bare of its mnscnlar covering over three inches, and the arm otherwise badly lacerated and bruised. Drs. Dunlap and Snavely were called upon and dressed the arm, and, we understand, that they entertain hopes of saving the limb.— Friday’s Manhcim Sentinel. THE BRODERICK-TERRY DUEL Pull Particulars. Cincinnati. Oct. 10. —The t>.m Francisco Time.-, <>f tlm 14th September, says: “In accordance with the anticipations, the expect ed duei between Messrs. Broderick and 'lerry touk place yesterday morning. *in a small val ley ten miles from Merced Lake. The par ties went oat of town the Digbt previous, and passed the night in separate localities. At a quarter past six o’clock Broderick and Terry arrived on the ground, attended by their seconds and physicians. Hon. J. C. McKibbin and Mr. Coulter acting for Senator Broderick, arid Messrs. Calhoun Beuham and Thomas Hays for Judge Terry. On descending from their carriages, the parties seemed to be in the best of spirits, neither appearing anxious or nervous as to the result. About half an hour was occupied in the prelirainary.arrangements. Ten paces were marked off and the principals took their posi tions. The secunde divested them of their outside coats, white collars, which might present prominent targets, also of theirwatch es and the coin iu their pockets. One of the seconds then read aloud the code duello, which occupied a short time. Mr. Coulter then addressed the two gentlemen saying that he wished it understood that he ] should count one , two, after the word fire : ■, after which he would say stop ; no shot to be | fired after that. j During this time, the principals maintained ; their positions, and listened with composure to these details Judge Terry stood with his head thrown slightly back, looking toward his antagonist. Each held his pistol in his hand, pointed to the ground, and each was dressed in Mack clothes, and wore a slouched hat. Senator Broderick stood erect, but with his head rather down. The positions of the two were somewhat different. Judge L'erry maintained that of a practised duelist, present ing only the edge of his person, and keeping his left hand and shoulder well behind him. Broderick, on the contrary,(though at first assuming a position somewhat similar to that of Judge Terry ), seemed to prefer a careless and less constrained one, and gradually pre sented more of his body to the fire of his oppu nent. He held hi- pi- r nd rather awkwardly, and, seeming to fee! this h’imself, he once or twice turned the wrist of his pistol arm to the -erhr, with his left hand, as though endeavor rig- -•» ing to comply with some prescribed direc tions previously given him. From that time he did not raise his eyes until the word was given to fire. His right foot getting a fraction beyond the line, Mr. Melvibbin replaced it. The bearing of Judge Terry, though he assumed a more practical and motionless attitude, was not cue iota more than that of an iron nerved man than was that of Mr. RrmWu*k occupies the BecimJ tloor, auil constantly discourses UM , r \f P „u«.. excellent nmsir for the eiitert.iimnent of the audience At U quarter before peven Mr. Coultei pm* Buate< , in the A mpi.ui.e.ure.

One ring of draft geldings—7 entries, and four of draft mares—lo entries. Matched horses for carriages—fi pair. Buggy horses and buggy mares—ll entries. After this ring the exhibition for the day closed, and a general scramble for the gates was the next thing in order. The firßt day’s proceedings gave universal satisfaction. The Press from nearly every State in the Union was represented. California Congressmen.— Broderick is the second Congressman from California that has had his term cut short by duelling. The other was the Hon. Edward Gilbert, who was one of the two first members elected from that State. The Hon. Joseph McKibbin, a member of the last House, also got into a personal difficulty during the canvass, which led to a hostile correspondance, and ended in an apology ; and Herbert, a member of the previous Congress, came near being hanged for the murder of a'waiter at Willard’s Hotel in Washington. Hear Tqji Corbin.— The black republican papers seem to think very highly of Tom Corwin, of Ohio ; yet Tom says the black leaders ought to be hung ! In a late speech in Ohio, speaking of the fugitive slave law, which they all denounce and say should be resisted, he said: “ That is the law, and we have agreed to abide by it. The law IS CONSTITUTION AL, and IT MUST BE OBEYED. Young lawyers-with soaped moustaches, and a cigar a foot long in their mouths, who have curso rily glanced over Blackstune’s Commentaries, and have read “ Swan on Executors and Administrators,” and perhaps seen “ Wil cox’s Forms,” have no hesitation in pronoun cing it unconstitutional ; but in the face of such distinguished authority, IT IS constitu tional, and it is the law of the land —the highest and most intelligent tribunal in the land, have so pronounced it— so decided it; and there can be no doubt about it. ” “Now it being the law, IT MUSI’ BE. OBEYED ; and if it is resisted, it is a felony ; if resisted with an armed force, it is treason — and those who resist it, must be shot — must be iiung ! Some men amongjus have a doctrine they call a Higher Law doctrine, and profess that their consciences are above and beyond the Constitution, and that they will not obey the law. These gentleman are traitors, and must be elevated to a purer atmosphere — suspended —hung up !” Thanksgivii^—The Governer has issued a proclamation designating Thursday, the 24th of November, as a day of Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania. The eume day has already been named in a number of States, and is likely to be designated by still others, in which the custom of an annual Thanksgiving has become established, so as to make it almost a national observance. A Cold Winter Predicted.— About ten days ago a tremendous drove of gray squirrels, numbering hundreds of thousands, suddenly made their appearance on the Meramac, cover ing the trees and waters like a pall. Thou sands ot them were afterwards found dead in the river and on the ground. They crossed the Mississippi at that point, and worked tbeir way down the river, until on Wednesday they reached Cape Girardeau, crossing river at that point in countless myriads. The citizens turned out en masse, and killed them by hundreds. Every tree and bush in that viemity swarmed with them until night, when they all disappeared, and have not been heard of since. Their route was marked as by a devastating storm. Trees were girdled and fields destroyed. Old French settlers predict a very severe winter, as it was noticed in 1834 and ‘52 that immense droves of squirrels suddenly made their appearance, followed by intensely severe weather.—#.

We have just had a week of unprecedented excitement and confusion Tho Great Fair, as you are already aware, opened on Monday last, and the city has been tilled with strangers from all parts of the country—there not being a vacant bed in any hotel in the city, besides the immense number that stopped with their friends and acquaintances. Abcnt 10 o’clock, and after uur last letter was w. itten— which was on the opening day of the Fair—a heavy rain commenced falling, which continued tor several hours, and not only put a damper upon the anxiou* people en route , and preparing for the Fair, but rendering the roads to tho grounds in a most wretched and deplorable condition. Yet, there could not havo been less than ‘25,000 people in attendance. A grand military display, in the beautiful arena, was the opening ceremony of this, the - Fourth Annual Exhibition of the St. Louis Agriculnral and Mechanical Association ” They entered the arena about 1- o'clock, and went through one of the most pleas ing military displays that we have ever witnessed in this part of the West, and elicited unbounded applause from the thousands who witnessed It. It was the grand feature of the day. For months past the indefatigab e Presi lent. Col. J: R. Barret, and the energetic and untiring Directory of this Association, have been busy iu their preparations t-- render this one of the most brilliant Exhibitions, as well os the nit-st attractive spot in tho Uniou. In point of extent, beauty and convenience, it certainly has no equal, and would astonish your citizens to have beheld, what ice have witnessed, the past week, in one of the border States. Your imagination can scarcely paint the magnificence and graudeur of this great Fair. The buildings and the I grounds aro finished in the most workmanlike style, and an ornament and honor to any city or State. Each aud all arranged and rons'rncted with great care and taste, j and presenting to the eve, upon approaching it. a respect- I able village of its-lf. ’it is without exaggeration the ; finest exhibition that has ever taken place west of the i Alleghenies, and we doubt whether it has ever been excelled in this country. The Association originated in tho year 1 Sso, hv an Act of our Ftate Legislature. Tho grounds—so acres—were pnrcliosod for $50,000 —or sloo>i per acre on—the 4th nf June, 1850. These grounds are situated about three miles from the C<>urt House. The first Fair was held on the I3th of October. 1*56. and proved a great success; the second in 1557, whi-h increased wonderfully in interest, and at the third Fair, in 1-SSS. the attendance wa- still greater than at either of th“ preceding exhibitions. The j immense profits from tho three previous fairs Inn - enabled j the Association to oiler superior inducemen's to tanners, i .-luck-r.iisers, mechanics and arti/.itis of all classes, and j they were here competing for the liberal premiums.. Th ■ ! premium lint astonishes the whole Union—it is decidedly I tho most liberal ever offered in this country. Th-re were j three prizes of SIOOU ouch, and tho expectation of getting I one of these, as a matter of course, drew the host anil I finest stock of the Suites to thin exhibition. leml-ring it 1 tho best collection of stock ever exhibited at a single fair ; oil the American continent. The Premiums for H--gs. | Sheep, I’oultrv, Ac., were also very liberal | We must l*i brief in reviewing the buidings. grounds. | stock, Ac., as we know space iu your valuable columns i s | There are several largo ami spacious apartments f--r the 1 exhibition of Agricultural inn-u-nnmix and all kind* of ; Machinery and Mechanical invention*. Two magnificent - buildings are dedicated e\c usively f ot the occupancy ->l ! flowers and the fine arts. The beautiful Amphitheatre is unsurpassed in point of ’grandeur and conveuiencr by any similar structure in the United States—being ;U>n feel in dimainoter, or 015 feet in circumference, and its seats provide tor the comfortable accommodation of 12.nn() people. Ib-sid-s this, there are two promenades eneirrliitg tho whole, each ot which will h..ld 12.0-0 persons. Thus it will be seen that this immense building will shelter 3d,ouu people at --ne time. Under the Amphitheatre, and surrounding the whole structure, there are til spacious booths, where reti-shments are at all tim-*s furnished to the visitors. A hatnisome Pagoda is erected in'the centre of the arena, around which aIT the fine stock is exhibited, and a full Brass Band SECOND DAY. The morning broke clear and bright, and at au early hour the masses began to move in the direction of the Fair. Every vehicle, as well as every excuse for one, w.a h brought into requisition—the railroad not being able to transport the oue-huirlredth part of the people. Every avenue leading to the placn of attraction was literally packed with anxious visitors. At about 2 o’clock there were upwards of 30,000 people on the grounds. The following were the displays at the Amphitheatre: (The other places of interest and attraction, we must permit to go unnoticed for the want of room.) For Hereford cattle, Mr. John Merriraan, of Maryland, took the first premium of $lO0 —a bull and four cows. There were about 9 other entries of the same stock. Alderney cattle—l entries. For liraham cattle—about IS entries. Stallions of any age—3S entries—lst premium to “Silver Iloels”—$50, and 2nd to “ Wide-a-Wake," both of Illinois. The next ring was geldings, with 26 entries, and the rest mares—lo entries. Whilst this ring was being exhibited, one of the horses ran away with his drivor, upset some half dozen sulkies and buggies, and great excitement prevailed, but we are happy to add that no one was seriously hurt. The weather was delightfully pleasant, and a much larger attendance, than upon either of the preceding days was attracted to the grounds. The number present is variously estimated at from 50.000 to 60,000— making in tho three days upwards of 110,000 people, and every train of cars, as well as every steamboat arriving in the city, were crowded. On this day we noticed among the mem bers of the Press. J. W. Corbett, of the New York Humor ist and A. McMaken. of the Philadelphia Inquirer. * This beinir the $lOOO prize day for best thorough bred Hull, ruadeit aday of considerable interest and excitement. There wero 22 entries for the prize, and it was awarded to “ Second Duke of Airdrie,” amid general applause. He is owned by R. A. Alexander, of Woodford county, Ky., and measured 7 feet 10 inches around the girth, and 7 feet 9 inches in length. There were five other rings of bn,ls, with 46 entries. Two rings of cows, with 30 entries. Three rings of heifers, with 20 entries. Next came stallions four years and over—with 56 entries. This was a grand spectacle. Imagine 56 hordes, maddened with excitement and going at the top ot their speed in the arena, and you have the treat to yourself. There were two other rings of stallions, with 31 entries. After this, the curtain fell over the third day's performance, which all present seemed to have enjoyed. FoCRTU DAY. When tho crowd was under way to the Fair, about half past eight in the morning, a heavy rain commenced falling and continued until 12 "o’clock, when the welcome sun peeped through the lowering clouds, and gave indications of a clear afternoon, yet the roads were mud.ly and disagreeable, but nothing daunted the crowd pushed on, and the attendance was very large—say 30,000 or 40,000. Nothing wsr done in the arena in the morning, owing to the bad and heavy condition of the track, but the after noon brought forth its usual interest. The $l,OOO premium for the best Roadster Stallion, in harness, was deferred until Friday, on accountof the wot condition of the arena. The citizens of St. Louis, of Missouri, and of tho West gener al ly have shown beyond a doubt that they are an enter priz ing and progressive people,and all of them should feel proud oAho success of this grand Agricultural and Mechanical Exhibition. It is an honor as well as a credit to the entire Great West. ... The continuation of these exhibitions will prove a vast and Incalculable benefit to the farmers, stock-raisers, and in a word to every department of industry, to say ootbing of the immenso receipts by the railroads, Bteamboats, hotels, merchants and dealers generally. This Fair is a settled and fixed “ Institution,” and each succeeding year will make it more and more interesting and attractive. Success to tho Association. The following were the different rings : norses of all work—l 3 entries; stallions 13 do. ; mares 4 years and over 34 do.; mares 3 years and under 4—9 do.; mares 2 years and under 3—14 do.; mares 1 year and under 2—4 do.; mares under 1 year—ll entries. Jacks 8 entries; jacks 2 years and under 3—4 do.; 1 year and nD d er 2 12 do.; Jennetts 4 years and over—4 entries; 3 years and under 4—4 do.; 2 years and under 3—4 do.; 1 year and under 2—2 do. These were the exhibitions In the Amphitheatre, and at their close, a general rush was made for the gate, and the greatest excitoment and con fnsioQ prevailed—many of the visitors, say thousands, were obliged to foot it tho whole way home. Oh! what a time golDg from the Fair I On Thursday night a heavy storm of raiu and wind passed over the city doiDg considerable damago to hoases and trees in the range of its main course, and the rain fell all night and until 9 o’clock the uext morning, when it held up, as it were, for the people to go to the snow. The tide of emigration then began, and continued to flow without intermission up to 2 o’clock, when upwards of 30,000 people had passed the gate. It cleared up In the afternoon, and proved to be one of the. days. The Amphi theatre presented the grandest spectacle we ever beheld— there w&b not a vacant seat anywhere to be had, and indeed standing room, where the arena could be seen, was also an Impossibility. This day was tbo deferred $lOOO premium for tho boat Roadster Stallion in harness, and of course drew an immcD'i''wd. There were 40 entries on the book for this prize, but only 22 made their appearance. Size, action, form and endurance was to be taken Into considera tion by the Judges. The Amphitheatre was crowded to its utmost capacity to witness tho trial of superiority between the most celebrated horses of the la. nd. There were in the ring 22 of the proudest looking animals that the American continent can boast of. We annex the list, as we are certain it will attract the attention and admirv tioQ of the world : Lexington, Addison, Black Hawk Morgan, Laclede, Flying Cloud, White Mountain, Morgan Black Hawk, Green Mountain, Blackbird, Gen. Gifford, Silver Heels, Henry Clay, Bellfounder, Wide Awake, Peerless, Stock, bridge Chief. Sherman Morgan, Black Hawk Prince, Morgan Hunter. As might well be supposed, a considerable time was occupiod in deciding this ring. Paint the picture to yonr own imagination, with twenty-two horses, snorting and prancing around the riag at one time, then two at a time, and then one, thus giving the Judges, and the 20,000 spectators a fair chance of looking at each one separately, The number was finally reduced to six—the Judges order ing out all but Flying Cloud, Henry Clay, Silver Heels. Green Monntain, Black Hawk and Stockbridge Chief —the handsomest looking half dozen horses, that ever appeared in oue ring at the same time in the known world. After considerable display, the metal of each horse being thoroughly tested, the blue ribbon, embellished with silver stars, was placed around the gracofully arched neck of Stockbridge Chief," who, amid a deafening whirlwind of shouts, was declared the proud winner of the golden prize. After the premium was awarded, tho horse was driven around tho circlo three or four times at tho top of hlfl speed, which was truly a grand sight, amid tho shouts of the assembled thousands, whilst the noble steed tripped it off, aud as it were, gracefully acknowledging tho high honor and compliment paid him. “Stockbridge Chief,” is by Hill's celebrated Black Hawk, of Vermont, he by- Sherman Morgan. We think the award righteously giver*. The winning horse is Irom Hamilton county, Ohio. After this was decided, came the following rings : Roadster Stallions—2o entries; Roadster Mareg—Breeders, four years and over—3o entries. Night was now upon the face of the earth, and the throng began a homeward march, and every road leading to town was literally black with vehicles and pedestrians. This being Saturday, the hist day laid down in the programme, and a dear bright sun sbeddiug its dazzling rays over the Western World, everybody was anxious to visit the Fair, aud it was long ere 50,000 people had passed through the gates. We never saw s-» much excite ment and confusion The following were the commencing exercises in the Amphitheatre; K--adders—Mares —3 years aud under 4—7 entries. • Mares, 2 years atnl under 3—*.» do.; mares, 1 year and under 2—o do. tAt tills stage of the preceding* there | entile the compliments of tho owners of - ■'t-ickbridge Chiei,” to the Press, in the shape of a basket ot -pirkliag Cma« ha—in the language of somebody. •• w non the* nectar of the gods becomes better than tile Native Wine of Missouri, we hope they will invite the Press u> a charn piugiie supper Mares under one year—l 4 entries. A Urge number ot Bulls and Cows were next introduced to the audiuuce, and carried oil' the prizes. The next thing on tho programme was tho entry of a | brilliant procession of blooded Stallions, numbering seven- I teen, t" contend for an honor more glorious th in the laurel ' that crowned the vi.-tor at the Olympian gam.—.

The weather was delightfully pleasant, and all that could possibly he expected or desired, and as the great race for the thousand dollar premium was to come off, as a matter of course, a large number of people was attracted to the grouods—say between 20,000 and 25,000. There were several rings of line thorough-bred Horses displayed in the forenoon, as well aa Mules and Cattle, which attracted no great attention, as everybody seemed to bo inspired with the great trot for a thousand' dollars, to come off in the afternoon. At lu o’clock the immense Amphitheatre was crowded to its fullest capacity, and a more beautiful spectacle we tliiuk we never looked upon, imagine 15,000 people—men, women and children—closely packed together, with the various colors of drosses and ribbons promiscuously and profusely intermingled, and you have a faint idea of the gorgeous display. At 2 o'clock a wild shout went up from the audience— the gates were thrown open, and some of the most renowned animals of the world made their appearance to contend for the golden tprize.
