From and after the first day of July ensuing we shall open a new set of books. It will then be eleven years since The Intelligencer passed into our hands, and we think it about full time that a gdlaeral settlement should take place. We have accounts for subscrip— tion due us ranging from $2 to $22, all of which we are honestly and fairly entitled to, and must have, either with or without the aid of the law, if they are at all collectable. 's neither fair to ourselves nor to our paying subscribers to suffer such delinquencies any longer; and, in order to carry out our plan, which we have fully matured, we shall on the first of July commence striking from the list the names of all subscribers (unless, for good cause, there might be some exceptions,) who are over two years in arrears ; and shall then, after giving them three months longer grace to pay up, place their accounts in the hands of a proper officer for collection. This is our ultimatum, and we give this timely notice so that none can complain. By carrying out this determination, we expect as a matter of course, to considerably reduce our list; but at the same time we shall, thereby, curtail our expenses. We would rather have one thousand good paying subscribers, than two thousand, nearly one—half of whom never think of paying the Printer. THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION The Democratic National Convention is now in session at Baltimore, having assembled on yesterday. Whether union and concert of action are to be accomplished, or whether dis cord and division are to rule supreme, and the party to be still further distracted and dis rupted, are questions which a few days will be sufficient to solve.- We have our forebod ings ; but, at the same time, we still have a strong hope that the storm which has agitated the country since the adjournment of the Convention, at Charleston, will subside into a calm at Baltimore, and that a compromise may be effected by which the great Democratic party of the country can embark in the con test, and secure a triumphant victory over sectionalism, abolitionism and disunion. The masses of the people care nothing - about polit ical abstractions ; they want a candidate— some sound and conservative statesman who, when elected, will administer the government after the models furnished by Jefferson, Jack son and Polk. Let the Convention unite upon such a candidate, and the people will ratify their choice by an overwhelming majority at the polls. THE JAPANESE EMBASSY The Japanese Embassy spent the last week in Philadelphia, and were shown the Mint, Navy Yard, Girard College, Fairmount, Inde• pendence Hall, and all the principal sights to attract the attention of strangers. They ap peared to be highly gratified with the atten tions lavished upon them by the denizens of the Quaker City, and seemed more at home there than in Washington. The Embassy. left for New York on Satur day, in the 10 o'clock train, and were received at the Battery by the officials and other dig nitaries of the great Metropolis, and by one of the largest military demonstrations that has taken place there for many years. GREELEY VS. SEWARD The somewhat famous letter written by Horace Greeley to William H. Seward in November, 1854, was returned by Mr. Seward to Mr. Greeley, and appears in the Tribune of Thuisday. It was alleged by the friends of Seward that this letter afforded evidence that Greeley's hostility to his nomination was based upon Mr. Seward's repeated refusals to assist in elevating him to office, and that it apprised Seward of Greeley's determination to seek reveng - e. The letter is a long one, and is devoted to a recapitulation of the services rendered by Mr. Greeley to the Whig party, and the offices which Mr. Seward might have assisted him to obtain, but did not. It contains no direct threat of vengeance, but the inference that the author considered himself at liberty to pay Mr. Seward for his studied neglect is irresistible. Certain it is, that Greeley did Seward more damage at Chicago than any other single man. A FALSE REPORT It was rumored in the early part of last week that intelligence from San Francisco, received by the Overland Express, and brought to that port by the schooner Page, which left the Bay of Jeddo on the 23d of April, announced the assassination of the Tycoon of Japan. This tarns out to be untrue.— Later arrivals bring the information that it was not the Tycoon, but the Prince Gortairo, one of the principal dignitaries of the Empire. He was going from his house to the palace with his train, when he was.attacked by 14 Japanese dressed as travelers. He was dan gerously, perhaps fatally, wounded himself, and of his retinue six were killed and several wounded. Two princes of high rank, and some thirty other persons believed to be concerned- in the affair, were beheaded by order of . the. Tycoon, and great• excitement prevailed in the City.

" D—n the man who would starve our sot• mere in a foreign land !" This was the patriotic exclamation of a hard.fti3ted Demo crat of this city, says the Concord (N. H.) Pittriot; in the course of s political' discussion which we accidentally . overheard a few days since. Thousands of patriotio,hearts, _even'among the black republicans, will fully respond to the - sentiment, divested of its profanity ; and - there are thousands of men of that party, in every State where icaxists, who will never knowingly vole to place such a man in the Presidential Chair. Yet such a man is Abraham. Lincoln ! The only thing worthy of note that marked Lincoln's Congressional career, was his speak ing and voting in denunciation of the war with Mexico, and afterwards voting against giving bounty lands to the soldiers for their services and suffering in defence of the rights and honor of the country. While that war was in progress and while our brave little army was surrounded by the Mexican hosts, and in imminent peril, Abraham Lincoln was denouncing the war as infamous, unnecessary and wrong, and thus directly affording aid and comfort to the enemy. If he did not, like the infamous Corwin, in words appeal to the Mexicans to welcome our soldiers " with bloody hands to hospitable graves," he did all in his power to embarrass the operations of our troops and to encourage the enemy to continued and desperate efforts to put Corwin's advice into effect. His whole conduct in this important crisis of our history may be cor rectly described in a single sentence; he took sides against his country when engaged in a foreign war. Let the patriotic men of Pennsylvania bear this fact in mind. Some of their sons and brothers and friends were braving the dangers and sufferings of war in defence of their country's rights while Lincoln was thus virtually fighting for the enemy, and a remembrance of this fact should inspire them with zeal and energy in opposition to his elevation to the highest office in the world. To vote for him is to endorse treason to the country in time of war, as well as treason to the Constitution as promulgated in his revo lutionary "irrepressible conflict" doctrine. There is no doubt that Lincoln would have voted against furnishing supplies to our sol diers if he had been in Congress when they were called for. But he did not take his seat in the House until all the required sup plies had been furnished. He then voted that the war was wrong, that our country was wrong and Mexico right ; and he would, likewise have voted against furnishing means to carry on an unjust and wicked war. Upon his course in Congress in this matter, Judge Douglas thus commented in one of his speeches in the Illinois Senatorial contest: When he got into the House, being opposed to the war, and not being able to stop the supplies, because they had all gone forward, all he could do was to follow the lead of Cor win, add prove that the war was not begun on the right spot, and that it was unconstitu tional, unnecessary, and wrong, Remember, too, that this ho did after the war had been begun. It is one thing to be opposed to the declaration of a war, another and very differ ent thing to take sides with the enemy against your country after that war has been com menced. Our army was in Mexico at the time, many battles had been fought; our citizens, who were defending the honor of their country's flag, were surrounded by the daggers, the guns, and the poison of the enemy. Then it was that Corwin made his speech in which he declared that the Ameri can soldiers ought to be welcomed by the Mexicans with bloody hands to hospitable graves ;' then it was that Ashmun and Lin coln voted in the House of Representatives that the war was unconstitutional and unjust; and Ashmun's resolution, Corwin's speech, and Lincoln's vote,3were sent to Mexico and read at the head 'Of the Mexican army to prove to them that there was a Mexican party in the Congress of the United States who were doing all in their power to aid them. BELL AND EVERETT--GROANS OF THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PRESS. Whatever else may be said about the con vention which placed Messrs. Bell and Everett in nomination, says the New York Herald, it cannot be denied that the delegates selected for both places on their ticket gentlemen who deserve well of their country. If we had more men of the Bell and Everett stamp in office, the business of the government would be carried on with much more dignity than at present. While this fact is generally acknowledged, we notice that some of the black republican journals attempt to throw ridicule upon the ticket, and thus divert public attention from the nominees. This shows that the black republicans are not a little frightened at the idea of having three or four strong tickets in the field against them. A very able and statesmanlike letter from Mr. Everett has called out some of - the black republican attacks, which, though written with apparent good humor, show signs of latent rancor and concealed apprehension. It is quite true that it cannot be said of Mr. Bell or Mr. Everett that either of them kept a grocery, or distilled whiskey, or was judge of a fist fight or a horse race, or that either of them ever split rails, which seem to be Mr. Lincoln's only points. Otherwise, however, we are obliged to say that Bell and Everett have largely the advantage of their opponents. The former are men of cultivation, education and refinement—scholars, gentlemen and statesmen of large experience. In their hands the government would command confidence at home and respect abroad. In all that constitutes fitness for the discharge of the duties of the executive branch of the govern ment, there is no comparison between Bell and Everett and Lincoln and Hamlin, so vastly superior are the former. It argues badly for republican institutions when such men as John Bell and Edward Everett are sneered at by the organs of fourth rate village politicians; stump orators and tavern brawlers. APPOINTMENTT BY THE PRESIDENT.—The following recent appointments by the Presi— dent, have been confirmed by the Senate: John Appleton, of Maine, to he Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States at St. Petersburgh, in the place of Francis W. Pickens, resigned. Wm. H. Trescot, of South Carolina, to be Assistant Secretary of State, in the place of John Appleton, resigned. Julian A.

Political parties usually take pleasure in con ferring nominations for high offices upon gener ous and big-hearted men, who have freely devo ted their labor and their talents tb the advocacy of the - principles of the-party. But the Re— publicans have a man for the Presidency who, before consenting to stand upon: the rostrum and speak in behalf of Republican doctrines, his been in the habit of first stand ing at the door and pinching a two shilling piece from the fingers of every auditor. This is dining a- pretty sharp bargain and turning one's political principles to rather profitable account. We do not wonder that liberal minded Republicans revolted at it and regard ed the proceeding as akin to meanness. Will the N. Y. Tribune republish its well merited denunciation of Mr. LINCOLN'S conduct in this particular? We think its readers will be interested just now, in reading what it then said on this subject. Will it also be kind enough to reproduce the resolutions of one of the N. Y. Republican political associa tions or clubs, censuring Mr. LINCOLN for meanness in this business of turning Yankee pedlar of Republican principles ?—Albany Argus. Lincoln charged the New York blacks $2OO, for his speech last winter in that city ; and he charged the blacks- of New Hampshire, Con necticut and Rhode Island, about $lOO for each speech made in their behalf. We had occasion at the time to allude to the action of the New York " Young Men's Republican Central Committee," the association referred to by the Argus, and the matter is worthy of notice now when the black organs are extol ling Lincoln's " liberality " and " generosity" Some of the black leaders in Dover and this city then expressed themselves in terms more emphatic, than pious or polite, or complimen tary to Lincoln, in reference to this matter. In other words, we are told that they " d—d him all up in a heap," for his Jewish demand for money, more money. They felt deeply the disgraceful character of the transaction, and spoke of it freely among themselves. But now that he is their candidate, they will all join in proclaiming his " generosity " and " liberality !" We published at the time the following extract from the report of the proceedings of the New York Republican Committee, in in relation to Lincoln's extortion, which we commend to the attention of his present eulo gists : Mr. Spencer rejected the idea of paying a political speaker anything except his traveling expenses. He said that he had heard that Hon. Abraham Lincoln received $2OO for the lecture that he bad recently delivered at the Cooper Institute. He thought that for a prominent political man, and a candidate for the Presidency in some parts of the country, as Mr. Lincoln was, to charge $2OO for addressing a republican meeting was shameful. [Applause.] If he were to receive a nomi nation for the Presidency, (and this fact were known among the generous people of his own State) how many votes would he get? He did not believe that prominent men who had won their way to high office by devotion to the principles of the Republican party, if they were invited to speak before the committee, would charge anything for their services in such a cause. [That's so.] He was willing to pay George Christy for dancing, or Mrs. John Wood for acting at the Winter Garden, or Forrest for impersonating the characters of Shakspeare ; but he was not willing to pay men for addressing republican meetings. It was wrong. [That's so.] It was wrong ; it was mean; and he meant what he said. [Applause.] Mr. Shepherd said that if a man would receive money for working in such a cause, he had very little faith in his political fidelity, or in his devotion to the party. He bad little faith in those individuals who took up politics for the purpose of filling their own pockets, rather than to sustain good principles. He considered a man who should accept a fee for coming tohddress the republicans of New York unworthy of a respectable hearing. This was the talk of prominent and influen tial men in New York, only three or four months ago, in regard to the man now pre sented as their candidate for the Presidency. His conduct was declared to be " mean" and " shameful," and be was denounced as "un worthy of a respectable hearing !" They must feel great pride in now supporting him! —N. H. Patriot. The Black Republican papers affect to be lieve that Lincoln will " sweep the North," and it is admitted that ho was nominated with the idea that he can carry New Jersey, Penn. sylvania, Illinois and Indiana. Upon this point we beg leave to refer them to the testi mony of their old chum and ally in the Fre mont Campaign, the New York Herald, which, referring to Lincoln's weakness, says : Lincoln, therefore, will not poll as large a vote as did Fremont, and he will not get New York, nor New Jersey, nor Pennsylvania, nor Indiana, nor Illinois. If any good Democrat who will run well in the Middle States should be nominated at Baltimore, Lincoln will be overthrown with a tenfold greater defeat than Fremont suffered in his contest with Buchanan. Fremont . was a conservative, and derived a large share of his support from the conserva tive and mercantile classes, who abhor revo lution. On the contrary, Lincoln, who is proved by his own record to be a revolution ary abolitionist, will have these votes arrayed against him, and will have to depend exelu sively for his support on the fanatical class, and the political gamblers, who, for the spoils of office, would risk everything—the safety of the country and the hopes of Heaven. If, with such aid, he can carry every Northern State, or any of five or six which we could name, then we will admit that history is a fable, that facts are not stubborn things, that figures lie, and that all our calculations are in vain. KICKING IN THE TRACES I The St. Lous News the home organ of Ed ward Bates, of Missouri, which has hoisted the name of Bell and Everett at the head of its columns says : The American portion of the Opposition of the country, who cast 800,000 votes in 1856, and who can by a turn of the hand dictate the President, this year; were left wholly out of consideration at Chicago. How can they, with any sentiment of self-respect, join in jubilation over their humiliating repulse ? And the New York Express, the organ of the' Americans and Old Line Whigs in that State, says : For every Fillmore man going or gone over to Lincoln, such speeches as Sumner's will knock two back out of the old Fremont ranks. Lincoln will lose hundreds of votes Fremont got. Mauling rails is not up to sleeping with grizzly bears on Rocky Moon tains. The " American organs " that go over to Abolitionism now will have just as much effect as in 1859 ; no more. The solid 100,- 000 Old Line Whigs and Americans, in this New York State, are never to be taken over by - any newspaper editors, into the bosom of the Abolition Party. THE FOWLER DEFALCATION.—The Post master General, in a communication to the House of Representatives, says the true ex planation of the ignorance of the Department of the existence and progress of the fraud of Mr. Fowler, the late Postmaster of New York, must be sought in the failure of Dr. Tate, the Sixth Auditor, to report the con stantly recurring delinquencies to the Post master General. Dr. Tate, in reply to the Postmaster General's request for an explana tion, maintains that his official course has been in strict conformity with the law and long established usage and practice, and further declares that he is not conscious of having neglected the faithful performance of his duty. He says it was the duty of Mr. Zeveley, the Third Assistant Postmaster General, who is the head of the Finance Department, to make the discovery. But Mr. Zeveley replies, "No examination has been made since the re-organization of the Department in 1836, with a view to fix the accountability of Postmasters, that duty clear ly and exclusively devolved on the Siith Auditor." The Postmaster General coincides with this exposition of dutp- - saying the Third Assistant , " . might conjecture a &fake tionibut-could not know it with certainty. THE DOUGLAS AND LINCOLN DEBATE The debate in the Illinois campaign of 1858, between Judge Douglas and Mr. Lincoln, was published some time ago by a firm of Colum bus, Ohio, at the instance of the Republican Executive Committee of that. State, and since Mr. Lincoln's nomination this publication is extensively circulated, and • quoted as .an evidence of his superior powers as a logician and oratifir. The matter fir this publication was furnished by Mr. Lincoln, he having first revised and corrected his speeches, but with out extending that privilege to Mr. Douglas. The attention of the latter having been directed _to this unfair proceeding, he has written a letter to the publishers, in which he protests against the alterations and muti lations in the reports of his speeches. After stating that the reports as originally publish. ed in the Chicago Times were necessarily impe.fl:et, and in some respects erroneous, on account of the haste with which they were prepared, Mr. Douglas concludes as follows; "In short, I regard your publication as partial and unfair, and deigned to do me injustice by placing me-in a false position. - I saw in the preface to the first edition of your publication, which is omitted in the copy sent to me, a correspondence between Mr. Lincoln and the Ohio Republican Committee, from which it appears that Mr. Lincoln fur nished his speeches and mine for publication —his in the revised and corrected form, and mine as they came from the hands of the reporter, without revision. Being thus noti fied that his speeches had been revised and corrected, this fact ought to have reminded you that common fairness and justice required that I should have an-opportunity of revising and correcting mine. But to deny me that privilege, and then to change and mutilate the reports as they appeared in the newspaper from which they were taken ; is an act of injustice against which I must be permitted to enter my protest. In order that the injus tice which you have done me may be in some degree diminished, I respectfully request that this letter, together with the correspondence between. Mr. Lincoln and the Committee, which led to the publication, may be inserted as a preface to all future editions of these debates." As this report, with all its errors and misrepresentations, will be used by the Republicans as standard authority during the campaign, it is right that the public should be aware of the fact that it was dressed up by Mr. Lincoln so as to strengthen his arguments, and that it is repudiated entirely by Mr. Douglas. THE CATTLE DISTEMPER The fact that the disease called " Pleuro Pneumonia," which has affected the Massa— chusetts cattle so extensively and fatally, had made its appearance in New Jersey, has excited alarm among the farmers and cattle raisers. Dr. Ward, of Newark, who assisted at the post mortem examination of one of the diseased animals near that city last week, thus describes the symptoms : " Loss of appetite, hanging of the head, and as the disease progresses an extension of the head—bright and watery eye, mouth dry, breath hot—breathing quick, with more or less agitation of the flanks, with an occasional cough, always dry ; more or less thirst ; horns and ears hot. The quick and occasional cough, coupled with great prostration of strength, more particularly mark the progress of the disease. The ear applied to the side of the animal readily detects the impediment to a free circulation of air through the lungs, from the violent congestion that:exists. So unequivo cally declared was the existence of the disease by auscultation in one of the sick animals, that we venture to declare not only the exist— ence of its fatal advance, but the portion and side of the lung to which it was confined. This animal being selected for experimental observations, the post mortem examination proved the correctness of the diagnosis." This physician says-that the disease is one of exhaustion, and analagous to the typhoid pneumonia, which occasionally prevails epi demically among the human race. In the testimony given before the Massachusetts extra session of the Legislature, Dr. Loring said : " Under the most favor — able conditions, from fifteen to twenty per cent. of the cases of disease would prove fatal without treatment; under the present conditions, ninety per cent. would prove fatal." The distemper is thought not to be epidemic, but to be transmitted by communication. Isolation is recommended as one of the means of preventing its spread. The Massachusetts Committee also recommend the destruction of all animals affected by it. This is said to have been the remedy applied in Denmark in 1845. When we consider that there are twenty-two millions of neat cattle in the Union, whose value and the value of whose annual products are estimated at five hundred millions of dollars, we may easily imagine the grounds for apprehension if this disorder should become general.— Governor Dennison, of Ohio, has appointed a committee to , visit the infected districts in New England, and report on the history of the cattle plague, and the means used to cure it, and prevent its spread. A CIRCLE or TORNADOES.—The Western and Middle States have been visited by four tor nadoes within the last three weeks ; one extending from Louisville to Central Ohio ; one in CattarauguS county in New York; one in Armstrong and some of the adjoining coun ties in Western Pennsylvania, and one in lowa and Western Illinois. The last surpassed all the others in violence and destructiveness. By the storm along the Ohio not less than 100 lives were lost, mostly in coal boats ; by the one in Pennsylvania some 10 or 12 victims are reported ; the last and greatest visitation, in lowa and Illinois, has left at least 150 dead bodies, more than double the number of persons injured or dying. The number of deaths which may be placed to the account of the wind storms within the last month is not lees than 300. The destruction of property is incalculable; in the City of Alton alone the total loss is estimated at $200,000, and in Comanche, $250,000. Whole counties are mourning, and many persons will long remember with sorrow the remarkable wind storms of 1860. THE EDITORS' BOOK TABLE THE WORLD.—The first number of The Mold, a new doily newspaper in New York, has reached us. It is some what larger than the Tribune and Times, and is to be sold ,at half their price. It is as good a first number as we remember to have seen. It contains's good selection of news, a variety of subjects discussed in able editorials, and what appears to be genuine .uropean correspondence. Tho purchaser will get good value for his one cent. The pub lisher is Mr. A. 13. Cummings, formerly of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. The principal editors are Mr. Spaulding and Mr. Richard Grant White, both. well known in jour nalism—the latter is the beet American editor of Shaks peare. The World is handsomely printed, and Barr & Co., 31 East King street, are the agents for this city. .' "THE FARMER AND GARDENER" for June is on our table, and as usual is filled to overflowing, with choice matter and handsome illustrations. The publisher announ ces important changes in the July number. The form will be changed to a royal octavo of 32 pages, and the editorial charge of the Horticultural Department will be assumed by William Saunders, the distinguished writer. In addition to this, a large number of the ablest writers on Agriculture in the country have consented to contribute to the pages of "The-Farmer and - Gardener." With these great attrac tions, it will be one of the beat, as it is now one of the handsomest and cheapest, publications in the country.— Persons desirous of examining the new work, can procure a copy without charge, by addressing the publisher, A.ll Spangler, Philadelphia. GODEY for July is a splendid number. It Is like good wine, it improves with age. It contains 84 engravings.

A COLD—BLOODED MURDER.—Oa Saturday night last, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a quiet, inoffensive German man, ADAM RIESE, a resident of West King street, in this city, was mortally woundettby a pistol shot fired at him, at the corner of South Queen and Vine streets, by a young man named RE= Kr-smack—one of the gang of lawless ruffians and rowdies who so frequently disturb the southern - portion of the city. The act 'was deliberate': done, and without any provocation whatever. The shot took effect in the lower part of the abdomen, on the right side, the ball penetrating thiough his body and lodging in the left rids, and the wounded man lived but a few minutes after the occurrence. Kssnatcst was arrested by officei KIIECNS and Deputy Coroner GOMM', (who held an inquest on the body of the murdered man the same night,) early on Sunday morning. Two alleged accomplices, named HENRY Rake and • JOILN DLLs, were arrested by the same officer! in connection with officer lesaserntoe. RECD, how. ever, on the hearing proved an alibi. DEAN, when arrested, it is said acknowledged to having been along with Kati_ Drum, but avers that he endeavored to prevent him from firing the pistol. The murdered man was about 50 or 55 years of age, and leaves a large family to mourn their sudden bereavement.' He was commander of the Schutz. verein of this city, and occupied prominent positions in one or two other German Societies. His remains were interred on yesterday afternoon in the German Lutheran Cemetery, South Queen street. The funeral was attended by the dir. ferent Societies of which he Is a member, accompanied by Ellinger's Band, which discoursed a mournful dirge on the march. A large number of other citizens also attended. —The parties had a hearing before Alderman Vas Case on yesterday morning, and KENDEFE was fully committed for trial on the charge of murder, at the August Court.— REED and DEAN were discharged, but the latter was held in his own recognizance to appear as a witness. THE LATE WASHINGTON LADIES' FAIR.—At a stated meeting, on Friday evening last, of Washington Fire Company, No. 4, the Lady Managers of the late Fair held in the Engine Hall, North Queen street, made a report. After paying all expanses, the sum of $1040.17 has been realized and handed over to the Company's Treasurer, Mr. Comma SWIM The Company acknowledged the reception of the report in the following complimentary terms: WIIPIYAR, It to with the utmost pleasure we have listen ed to the reading of the able and interesting report of the President of the Managers of the Ladies' Fair, Mrs. R. E. Smart, and learned from It that the large sum of $1040,17 bas beau realized, clear of all expenses, for the benefit of Washington Fire Company, No. 4, therefore be it • Resolved, That the thanks of this Company are due and hereby tendered the Ladies, and especially the Managers, for their noble-hearted and' self-sacrificing exertions to raise so munificent a sum for our benefit. We are satisfied that more could not have been done, and it is a duty in cumbeot on no that we should thus publicly acknowledge our indebtedness to the extraordinary and successful exer- tions of our fair friends. It is needless to say that we feel proud of them. Resolved, That the liberality of our fellow-citizens merits our warmest thanks. We knew the Ladies' appeal in our behalf to a generous-hearted public would not be in vain; but we bad no reason to expect that they, baying been al ready heavily taxed with similar objects, would favor the Fair with so large an attendance, and make their contribu• Hone with such voluntary liberality and whole-souled gen erosity. Should the services of the Fire Department be unfortunately called into requisition, the Washington will, with alacrity and zeal, obey the call of duty, and "united will be our efforts to quench the raging elements." Resolved, That some permanent token of esteem is neces sary, in our opinion, as a testimonial to the ability, effici ency and untiring devotion of the Ladies who were instru mental in the projection and highly-satisfactory termina tion of the Fair; therefore, be it further Resolved, That a Card of Thanks be gotten up, signed by the President and Secretary of the Company, having a list of the Ladies' names thereon, the same to be neatly framed, and placed in a proper position in our Hall. Resaired, That the report of the President of the Lady Managers, Mrs. R. E. Smart, and also the Treasurer's, be entered on the minutes, and that the statistical portion of the report be Sled away with the other records of the Com pany. Resolved, That the good feeling manifested toward us by the Friendship Company, in permitting the housing of our apparatus in their building during the Fair, will never be forgotten by their Washington brethren. Resolved, That a . copy of these resolutions be entered on the minutes of the Company, and that the city press, which has already extended us many favors, be requested to pub lish the same. Besides the above amount, the Ladies who held a Fair for the Company at Russel's Hall, in _April last, delivered over the amount realized. The sum amounts to $174.98. Appropriate acknowledgment was made of the same, the Ladies and citizens who contributed ritceiving the Comp. ny's thanks. The Company is now entirety free of debt. CONTRACT AWARDED TO A LANCASTERIAN. Maj. Charles M. Howell, of this city, hoe been awarded the contract for furnishing six brown stone columns to adorn the front of the new Court House at Harrisburg. The col umns will be twenty-nine feet in height,,lndependent of the base and caps, and will be in the full Corintheari order —fluted and the caps neatly worked to represent foliage. The stone used for this purpose is from quarries In York county, and said to be equal, If not superior, to the cele brated brown stone of Connecticut. The cost of these columns will be $7,000, and from the well-known reputation of Mai. Howell, as an architect and worker in marble, there is an assurance that the work will be done in a superior and substantial manner. THEATRICAL.—The Theatrical Company from the Arch and Walnut Street Theatres, Philadelphia, opened at Fulton Hall last evening. We have no doubt, from the high reputation of the ladies and gentlemen MM. posing this corps, they will be greeted with full houses during their stay in our city. They are certainly deserving of such marks of approbation. TEE CORNER STONE LAYING of the Union Church, at Roheratown, which was postponed on last Saturday, in consequence of the rain, is appointed to take place on Sunday next, (24th inat.,) at 2 o'clock, a. st. The services, in German and English, will be held in a beauti ful grove, where there will be ample accommodations for all who may attend. DROWNING OF A STEDENT.-011 Tuesday evening last, about six o'clock, Mr. David Styer, a student of the State Normal School, was drowned while bathing in the Conestoga creek. The circumstances attending the sad occurrence are as follows: Mr.. Styer, with ten or twelve fellow students, selected a place for the purpose of bathing, a short distance below the residence of Mr. Jacob Frantz, where there had formerly been a dam, which was removed a short time since to Peters', and there is a sad den descent into deep water caused by the removal. The deceased, before entering the water, remarked to his com panions, " Now, boys, you must take care of me, for I can't swim, and I have a great aversion to drowning." He waded out, reached the place of the descent, into deep water and soon sank beneath the surface. When It be came known that he was drowning it was too late to rescue him. One of the swimmers succeeded in catching him by the hair of the head, but was unable to retain his hold.— He then sank beneath the surface and was lost eight of altogether for neayly half an hour, when the body was re covered. Dr. Hartman, of Millersville, was early on the ground after the recovery of the body, and every effort was made towards resuscitation but, without success. The body was removed to the School, where the cere mony of condolence was performed ; at 10 o'clock, p. m., the students assembled in the chapel, solemnly impressed by the mournful occasion which brought them together at that hour, and after a few remarks by the principal, they visited the room in which the body was lying, and took a last look at one so late an active fellow schoolmate. At 2 o'clock an Wednesday, Prof. Herr and a Committee of four, with the body in charge, took the train for Philadelphia, and from thence to Norristown, Pa., the late home of the deceased. Mr. Styer was about 21 years of age. His parents are dead. Ho has, however, two sisters residing at Norristown and a brother who is a student at Union College, Schenec: tady, New York. The blow was unusually severe, from the fact that they had expected to meel him in a day or two in the full glow of youthful health and strength. He had greatly endeared himself to the Faculty and his associ ates, and all with whom he hod intercourse. MISCREANTS AT WORK.—Kirk Few, Esq., the Superintendent of the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad, offers a reward of one hundred dollars for information which will lead to the detection and conviction of the person or persons who lately placed obstructions upon the track near Marietta, for the purpose of throwing off the trains. It is not quite a year ago that three fellows were sent to the Penitentiary for committing the same offence in Marietta. Has the law no terrors for the rascals of that place? Most assuredly they will get the full benefit, if brought within the jurisdiction of our court. A GOOD SELECTION. —Rev. THEO. A. HOP— KINS, Principal of the Testes Institute of this city, has been elected Principal of the Vermont Episcopal Institute. The selection is an admirable one, Mr. 11. having a deservedly high reputation in his profession. His departure from this city will be much regretted by the many friends he has made since his residence here. ACCIDENT AT MARIETTA FURNACE.—A fatal' accident happened at one of Messrs. Mussel man & Watts' Furnaces, in Marietta, on Sunday morning week. A laborer at the Furnace, named William O'Rourk, engaged in haul. log cinder from the casting house, was caught between the wheel of his cart and the wall, the hub striking him heavily in the abdomen. He had Just loaded the cart, and was passing between it and the wall when the horse sud denly started. He had immediate assistance, but raid that he was fatally injured. He was carried home and expired in a few minutes. He was a temporary hand at the Ftm nace, having taken the place of one of the regular work. men. He leaves a wife and four children. INTERESTING NEIGHBORS—A BRUTAL As EAULT.—The family of Jpseph Brogal, a German, reside in Spring Garden. Their next door neighbors an Irish family by the name of Hickey. It appears that both families hare access to the same lot and use it together for the purpose of drying clothes. This morning (Friday) one of the Hick eys, of whom there are three in the male line, a father and two 'ions, went into the lot and seeing a wash line stretched across the yard, tore it down. George Brogal, a son of Joseph, who witnessed the affair, asked what he was about 1 To which he received an impudent reply, and was Immo. diately set upon by Hickey and knocked down with a stone. The frame brought George's father to the scene, and also at the same time the father of Hickey and the other brother. All parties seemed to have pitched in, but as the Hickeys used stones and shilialahs, and the Brogals nothing bat their strong arms, the latter were soon over come, and were beaten in a most shocking manner. When they appeared at the Mayor's Office to make com plaint, at noon today, they were literally covered with blood. The elder Brogal had an ugly cut above the right temple, and the blood streamed-over hie bead and neck.— The son bad three or four cuts on different parts of his head, and the blood so covered his face and neck that it was difficult to distinguish ble natural color. As Boon as the complaint had been made, and a warrant issued for the arrest of the Hickeys, Mra. Brogal made her appearance at the office in a great state of agitation, and made oath against the elder Hickey for a threatened assault to kill, &c. So from thia . wash-line business a great trouble has come over the houses of Braga and Dickey. The Hickeys were arrested and held to bill in the sum of $4OO each for their appearance at therAuguat &salons. " —From the Mayor's Office, the Brogals repaired to the office of Dr. G.

For The Intelligencer VISIT TO JUDGE VONDERSHITH'S CELL BY THE 11. S. GRAND JURY. MESSRS. Entroas: On Tuesday, 29th of May last, the 11. S. Grand Jury, then In session at Philadelphia, paid a visit to the Eastern Penitentiary. The Warden (Mr. Holloway) very kindly permitted as to visit the tell of Judge Yonder smith. Among the Jurors were Hon. A. E. Roberts of your city, and the two Messrs. Glossbrenner of York. The interview was most interesting and at the same time most affecting. Many of the Jurors had never seen the Judge before. They became much interested in his behalf, and expressed themselves in the most feeling manner for him, and promised to do all that they could to assist when ap. plication Is made for his pardon. Your Mn d and noble hearted ex-member of Congress (Mr. Roberts) spoke to the Judge in the kindest manner, and when he stated to him the many friends and kind feeling there were for him at his native home, and that an effort would be made for his liberation, the Judge replied, "he hoped that the Government would forgive him for his poor children." Here the Judge became much affected and wept. He spoke in the highest terms of the worthy Warden, Mr. Holloway; he states that the inmates of the Institution could not have a more feeling officer than he is, and that he has a kind word for all, and sees that they are kindly treated. The Judge's cell is kept in the moat perfect order, every thing being as clean and tidy as it possibly can be, and even the small garden attached to his cell comes in for a goodly share of his attention. The plants are beautifully and tastefully arranged, and the same order and cleanli ness is observable here. Vondersmith is a person possessing the most relined taste, and his skill in tho cultivation of the tender Tropical and Green House plants, at his late residence at Lancaster, is well known to many citizens of the State. After the interview, I believe the Jurors generally con versed with the officers of the Institution, respecting the Judge's deportment since his incarceration, and they all spoke in the kindest manner of his conduct, sympathize much for him in his misfortune, and express themselves freely that he is worthy of Executive clemency. The reason why I have made this simple statement respecting the in terview is on account of the great feeling that exists every where for him. The question was several times asked by the Jurymen, why there was not a beginning made by his friends for his liberation ? Every member of the Jury will lend a helping hand whenever a start is made, as they sin cerely believe that the Judge is truly repentant for his wrongs, and are satisfied that he has suffered much, and that his mind has been In a depressed state ever since his imprisonment. A GRAND JUROR. PHILADELPHIA, June 12, 18C0. LATEST FROM EUROPE Arrival of the Hammonia—Capitulation of the Neapolitan Army—Garibaldi Master of the Island. NEW YORK, June 17.—The steamship Ham monia, has arrived from Southampton bring— ing London papers of the 4th inst., but nothing later from Liverpool than was received by the Niagara, having left South— ampton immediately after the arrival of the early morning train from London. Stmuv.--The latest advices from Sicily announce that the Neapolitan army had capitulated to Garibaldi. The articles which were signed on board the English war steamer Hannibal between General Lanzi and Gari— baldi and the Revolutionary Committee stipulated that the Neapolitan army, twenty— five thousand strong, should quit Palermo with all the honors of war and embark with their material on board the Neapolitan squadron. The evacuation was to commence on the 9th of June. A terrible and desperate fight, in which many women participated, had previously occurred at the Stradi de Toledo, between Garibaldi and the Neapolitans, which resulted in the repulsion of the latter, and immediately a bombardment was commenced from the Neapolitan squadron. The above news reached Paris June 2d, and was fully confirmed by other dispatches received the same day. The London Times says that Garibaldi is now master of the Island. It is asserted that Signor Carafa had demanded a guarantee for the territory of the Iwo Sicilies, and also an intervention by the Maritime Powers. It is also asserted that Piedmont protests against intervention. Letters from Naples, dated the 28th ult., state that a grand manifestation had taken place in that city, in which the populace shouted for Victor Emmanuel, Garibaldi, and Sicily. The town of Agrigent had risen against the Government. A letter published in the London Times says that, by the terms of the capitulation at Palermo, the Neapolitan troops were to leave either at Messina or Naples. without molesta— tion. The cessation of the carnage at Palermo is due to the intervention of the English and French Admirals. Palermo had suffered severely by the bombardment., and the loss of life on both sides had been very great. TURKEY.—Reliable intelligence from Con— stantinople asserts that the French and Russian Ambassadors had officially notified the Porte that their governments approved of its resolu— tion to institute inquiries itself into the situation of the Christians in Turkey. FRAIsICE.—The Emperor and Empress of France have had an interview at Lyons, with the Dowager Empress of Russia. The health of Prince Jerome Napoleon is improving. THE MASONIC FRATERNITY.—The past few years have been marked with the rapid growth of Masonry in the United States. The num— ber of members within the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodges of the several States are not repoyted, but we learn from the statistics of the Grand Lodge of the United States, that there were in 1859 upwards of 4,600 Lodges ; and counting the number of members for each Lodge at forty five, which is twenty-five less than the general average for the State of New York, and thirty-five less than that of Penn— sylvania, we have the number of Masons con nected with Lodges in the Union as nearly two hundred and seven thousand, while there are a large number of Masons in every State not connected with any Lodge. It is safe, there fore, to put down the number of Masons at the present time within the United States at a quarter of a million. WORTHY OF NOTE —The U. S. naval officers, under orders from a Democratic Administra tion, recently captured three slavers having about 1500 Africans on board, and the negroes were taken to Key West. A Demo cratic President at once urged upon Congress the duty of promptly providing for their return to Africa ; and a Democratic Secretary made a contract for their support there. A Democratic Senate promptly passed a bill appropriating $200,000 for the return of those negroes and the execution of that contract. But the black republican House of Represen tatives have delayed the passage of the bill and encumbered it with amendments so that it will have to go back to the Senate—thus delaying the return of the negroes and proba : bly causing many deaths and much suffering among them. Yet we are told that the Democratic party and the Administration are conniving at the slave trade and neglecting their duty in regard to the execution of laws upon the subject, while the black republicans are running over with pity for the poor captives and indignation towards their cruel captors !. Let actions determine the truth in the matter. " THE FOOLS ARE NOT ALL DEAD YET !"- Some sharp speculating Yankees out in Illinois are gathering up a lot of old fence rails, which they claim were split by " Abe Lincoln," and are selling them to the crack skulled Repub- licans for $lO a piece ! Verily, the " fools are not all dead yet." As these old fence rails are about the only " principles " the Black Republicans exhibit in the present campaign, we presume they will be extensively pro mulgated" amongst the faithful followers of Abraham, the ugly. But what evidence have the weak brethren who are buying up these rails that they were split by " Old Abe P None whatever. We have no doubt but most of the rails that are being sold to the silly Republicans were either split by Mr. Ranks or somebody else besides Lincoln I Of all the humbugs started by that humbug party, this is the most silly and con temptible ! MR. Fittaioitz.—The Buffalo Comniercial Advertiser, in correcting the statement that Mr. Fillmore was going for the Chicago nom ination, says :—We are authorized and re quested by Mr. Fillmore to say that there is no truth . in the report whatever. So far as we know Mr. .Fillmore's sentiments, they remain the same as they were in 1856. He has ceased to be a public man, but not to feel a deep interest in the welfare of the republic, and he deprecates all sectional, parties as dangerous to the welfare and peace of the country. In that category. he ;includes the republican organization. We do not If he has any preferences, we doubt not that'tliey areediredl foi Bell - and E "L" SVMNER'S SPEECH. Speaking of. Mr. Suatsma's violent and' abusive abolition Speech, in the United States Senate, the New York Herald says: And what are his words? He opens with an ostentation of the pure and holy feeling of charity ; but does that quality predominate in his conceptions, breathe in his utterances, and live in his ideas, to stimulate men to deeds, of forbearance - and mercy towards each other?' No. His self adopted phrase for the denom ination of his theme is " the barbarism of slavery;' and all his learning, memory, wit, eloquence and log ic are directed to-heighten and embitter the brutal and bloody conflict which Lincoln and Seward have proclaimed against the social existence of fifteen of the sovereign States of this Union. But he goes farther even than these, for he claims that this aggression upoti , the rights of the South—this attempt to enforce upon other communities, not analagous in any one circumstance of their existence, social forms and law,s indi genous to a totally different state of 'society —this utter negation of the principle of self government—is a " sacred animosity ;" and, like them, he proclaims that it must be fanned and urged on until the theories which he, in his intolerant wisdom, finds good, "shall be installed everywhere under the national gov ernment." After the fashion of the self appointed saints of the earth, he tells us that " there is austere work to be done ;" and we well know what such language in the mouths of such men means. It means carnage and the flames of war. It means swords dripping with fraternal gore, torches , put to the homes of brothers, - desolation spread over happy and prosperoUs States, for opinion's sake.— No man can assert that the South inflicts, or desires to inflict, one single 'positive injury upon the North. Every man admits that our fraternal relations with the Southern States are productive of unmixed benefit to us and to ours ; and yet Lincoln and Seward incite the North to an " irrepressible conflict" with the South ; and now comes another mighty leader among the black republicans, and proclaims it to be a " sacred animosity." This is the burthen of Mr. Sumner's elo quence, and we need not enter upon its de tails. But there is one characteristic of this speech which is in perfect accordance with the policy of the black republican party in the present campaign. The bloody and terri ble results which must ensue if that party succeeds in getting possession of the federal government are kept carefully out of view.— John Brown's practice is taught; but there is no word of John Brown. The social condi tion of fifteen populous, rich and powerful States is to be revolutionized ; but not a hint of the possibility of resistance on their part, or of the reactive effect of such resistance upon the aggressive North, is dropped. This " irrepressible conflict," this " sacred animos ity," is to be pursued to its bitter end, with out the supposition of a single sacrifice or a single danger to the conquering aggressor.— Mr. Sumner adopts, in all its consequences, the sophistical and illusive theory of Spooner. The meaning of the constitution is suddenly to be wrested from that harmonious interpre tation which has given us so marvellous a career of individual happiness and national greatness. Federal laws, administered by federal courts,= presided over by abolition judges, and protectei, and their decrees en forced, by a federal army are to do all the bloody work, and confine its presence, and its multitudinous results and perils, to the South ern States. Therein lie the fallacy and the folly of the black republican argument. It is an impos- sibility. The Sonth is united as ono man against' this aggression of the North, while the North itself is divided. With the success of the black republican party in its present attempt to seize upon the federal government would come the first blast of resistance from the South, which would be echoed from every hill and dale between the Delaware and the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific shore. Fanaticism would then at once be hushed, and the voice of reason would prevail in the North. But repentance would come too late. Blows struck in fra ternal strife are not like those given where indifference has preceded conflict. Civil wars are not stopped by the efforts of diplomacy. Mr. Sumner's eloquence has therefore come in good time to awaken the conservative, the judicious and the tolerant men of the country to the necessity of union and action against that fanaticism which, making abstract moral questions the ground of political rule, is hastening them to the abyss of revolution and ruin. The issue now before the people, is fairly made. Shall abolitionism be exalted and the Union destroyed, or shall the political abolitionists be put down, and the Union— the palladium of our liberties and our happi ness—be preserved ? LATE FOREIGN NEWS HALIFAX, June I.4.—The advices by the steamer Niagara, are very interesting. They fully confirm the previous reports' of the successes achieved by Garibaldi. He attacked Palermo, at 4 o'clock on the morning of the 20th ult., penetrated to the centre of the city, flag in hand, after a desperate conflict of six hours, during an active bombardment both by sea and land. The Royal troops retreat ing to the Palace and other public . buildings the combat was renewed. The palace kvas at length taken by the people and burned. The lose in killed and wounded is very consider able.. Other towns in Sicily have rrsen against the government. The bombardment of Palermo was continued on the 21st, but it is said that the government was considering a proposition for its discontinuance. The Royal troops were concentrated in the Castle which Garibaldi attacked on the 28th. The English Admiral .had offered protection to the American residents at Palermo. The greatest agitation prevailed in the Court at Naples. The. Ministers tendered their resig nation on the 29th ult., and a Liberal Cabinet was expected to succed them. Garibaldi has already instituted important administrative reforms at all places in his power. LONDON, June 3d.—The Paris correspondent states that the news of the capture of Palermo has made a deep impression on the King of Naples. Nevertheless all remains tranquil in the Capital and on the main land. The Americans at Marsala sought refuge on board the United States steamer Iroquois. The people were shouting—" Italy forever!— Victor Emanuel forever ! EFFECTS OF THE HIIRRICANE.7—The Brook ville (Pa.) Republican gives an account of the hurricane that visited Jefferson and Clarion counties, in this State, on Wednesday • week. Its course was from southwest to north west, and those who witnessed it represent its shape as that of an inverted cone, in color like smoke, and well defined in its outlines ; some say it resembled a whirlwind of fire and smoke. Three persons are reported killed north of Bethlehem. But its most - fearful ravages were felt at Hess' Mill, in the little village of Mayville, Clarion county, about sixteen miles south of this place. Four per sons were killed and twenty-five wounded.— Twenty-five buildings were demolished, among which were the large grist mill and saw Mill of Mr. John Hess. Eight families have been left homeless. The large bridge over Redbank was torn to pieces, and the abutments badly injured. Hogs, dogs, poultry and sheep were killed. Apple trees were lifted out of the ground and carried away, root and branch.— The gardens were entirely destroyed. The trees in the vicinity were torn down. Two new wagons, just painted, were literally torn into mere particles. Mr. Ferry's, blacksmith, was carried five or six rods, and had with him his child of two years of age. Hewes slightly injured, but the child was unhurt. Dr. Straessly of Ringgold, who was at Mayville, had his buggy taken up and torn to pieces, and the harness stripped from his horses.— His boots were torn from his feet and his clothes from his body. Country Postmasters should bear in mind, for their advantage as well as that 'of the local press, that for every county paper delivered by them to subscribers,- they are entitled to retain of the Post office finds ten and one half cents per year. It is for their interest, as well as that of the publisher, that the county papers be preferred, since there is no trouble of making collections or keeping accounts thereof, as on .liapers printed out of the county, the commission ; on which will not average more-than from six. to eight cents per year.—Telegrqh.
