A Proclamation, Thursday next, the 27th Inst, being the day set apart by the Governor of the Commonwealth for Thanksgiving and Prayer, I do hereby request that all places of business he cloeed and all secular employment suspended, in this city,, so far as practicable, during the day, in obedience to the requisition of the Chief Magistrate of the Btate, and in accordance with our conscientious convictions of duty as a Christian people.

We need money badly at the present time and shall be very much obliged to onr delin quent patrons (of course we mean none others) if they will make their arrangements to square their accconnts, or at least give us a part of that which is onr just due. st their very ear liest convenience. It is impossible to'publish a newspaper without money, and this truth ought to be impressed on the minds of all who are in arrears for subscription, advertising, or job work. The approaching Courts will sfford many an opportunity of either calling in person, or sending by their neighbors, and those at a distance oan remit by mail at our risk. We trust this appeal will not be in vain. We dislike dunning as much as anybody, but ne cessity compels us to resort to the measure.— Now, then, let there be a hearty response on all hands to this urgent request. Send on yobr s2’s, your s3’s, your ss’s, your SlO’s, and’your s2o’s, and make the Printer’s heart glad. THE WAR IN VIRGINIA. Nothing important as yet from the Army of the Potomac. General Burnside has aban doned the Warrenton and Gordonsville route to Richmond and is transferring his troops to Fredericksburg, whence he expects to move on to Riohmond. This movement was necessi tated by the long distance left between his rear and Washington, if he went by the former route. This will necessarily cause some de lay, both by reason of the transportation of the army and the bridges and wharves which will have to be built at Fredericksburg and Acquia creek. In the meantime the rebel army has probably transferred its position to the west bank of the North Anna river, a few miles below Fredericksburg. “Stonewall” Jackson, with some forty thousand men, is said to be still in the Shenandoah valley watching the movements of General Sigel’s corps. Where he will nest turn up iB a mat ter of doubt. The rise in the Potomao, con sequent upon the recent rains, will probably prevent him from making any more raids into Maryland or Pennsylvania during the fall and winter; and, we suppose, the bad condi tion of the roads will also prevent any rapid movements of the belligerants for several days to come. THE GOOD TIDIES PROMISED I The “good times” promised by the Abd litionists before their advent to power are fast being realized by the mechanics and working men of this oity and all over the oountry, in the enormously advanced prices demanded for all articles of family consump tion. Coffee now sells for thirty-one cents per lb., making it a luxury in which the poor cannot afford to indulge. The same may be said of sugar and molasses. Butter is up to twenty-five cents per pound, eggs to twenty cents per dozen, and nearly all the other necessaries of life in the same proportion.— Coal is $5 50 and $6 per ton ; flour is going up, and ‘cotton goods of all kinds, which used to sell at a shilling per yard, now command treble that price. Two years ago poor women conld obtain an excellent calico dress for about twelve shillings, or even less—now treble that sum will not purchase even an or dinary print dress. In Bhorfc everything is rapidly going up to starvation prices, while there is no advance in the wages of tax burthened workingmen. War, desolation, taxation and starvation! Glorious times, ain’t they 1 . How do our readers like the picture ? THE STAND OF COLORS. "We artLpleased to be able to announce that the subscription for the stand of colors to be presented to Col. Hahbright’ts gallant 79 th Pennsylvania regiment iB nearly full, and that the Committee, named by us last week, having the matter in charge will complete their lobors to day or tc-morrow at farthest. MEETING OP CONGRESS. The second session of the Thirty Seventh Congress, begins at Washington on Monday next, the first of December, and will dose by constitutional limit, on the fourth of Mareh. AN EXCELLENT ORDER. President Lincoln has issued an order en joining upon our soldiers and sailors the strict observance of..the Sabbath, and reminding them of the words of Washington, that men may find enough to do in the service of God and their country, without abandoning them selves to vice and immorality. .A SODDEN CHANGE I It iB wonderful what an effect Democratic majorities haveon some men.

The plan of the campaign is discussed, and some facts given whioh prove that the blunders attributed to the GeOeral had their origin in ' another qnartef. The facts brought out by the Prince ,go to show, upon indisputable evidenoe, that General . McClellan is not re sponsible for the failure of that campaign. His plans were interfered with by the Secre tary of War, and that was the canse of 'the failure. This publication has raised mnoh higher the military reputation of General McClellan abroad, since it is shown what he intended to accomplish, his manner of doing it, and what were the pauses whioh interfered with its success. We regret that the great length of the article forbids its insertion entire, bat the extract we make will give an idea of the ability with which the snbjeot' is handled, and we therefore commend it to the attention of our readers. PASSUORE WILLIAMSON. Our readers will nearly all recollect what a stir this great negro philanthropist created in Abolition oircles, in Philadelphia, a few years ago. He was the very head and front of that foul party. By his pretended love for the negro, he mansged, some three years ago, to gain the confidence of an aged colored woman, owner of some property in Weßt Philadelphia. He drew t£ will in his own hand-writing, and persuaded the woman to sign it in the absence of her husband and friends. The will set forth that a small amount should go to her husband, and the balance, the major part of her estate, to Pass more Williamson’s wife, who had seen the old woman only twice. The negro woman died recently, and her husband contested the will. The jury, before whom the case was tried about three weeks ago, deolared the will null and void, it being executed to suit the dishonest purposes of Williamson instead of the proper heirs. So much for negro philan thropy and Paesmore Williamson. JESSE D. BRIGHT, It is confidently asserted that the Indiana Legislature, which meets in January, will elect Jesse D. Bright United States Senator for the short term, and Thomas A. Hendricks for the long term, beginning 4th of Marob, 1863. It will be a curious spectaole to 6ee a Senator returned to a seat from which he waß expelled for alleged aots of disloyalty to his Government; but there are some notable precedents in history, not the least of which is the ease of John Wilkes, who was repeat edly expelled by the British House of Com mons, and as often returned by his constitu ents. convention of brewers. A convention of Brewers, about one hun dred in number, representing the principal perßOnß engaged in the business in the United States, was held in New York during the last week, for the purpose of taking some action to relieve the trade from what they consider the unequal burdens imposed upon it by the new Excise Law. Frederick Lauer, Esq., of Reading, Pa., acted as President of the Con vention. -On Thursday, it was resolved to send Messrs. Jas. Speyers, of New York, Fred. Lauer, of Reading, and F. Baltz, of Philadel phia, to Washington, as a committee to urge a repeal of the tax on lagor beer and malt liquors brewed before September Ist, and a re-payment of the tax already paid on this account. They will also petition Congress on the subject. The Convention closed on Thurs day evening with a dinner. OFFICIAL VOTE OF OHIO.

The States which have recently voted against the Abolitionists give one hundred and nineteen electoral votes, and all but seven of them were oaßt for Mr. Lincoln only two short years agol These constitute a large majority of all the electoral votes of the States remaining in the Union, and had it been a Presidential election the Demoeratie candidate would have been elected by more than two-thirds of the oleotoral vote. This is significant of what will assuredly take place in 1864. ELECTIONS VET TO BE HELD.

A Geographical Hand-Book.— This new book, by Alexander Harris, Esq., a mem ber of the Bar of this oity, is Dow published and ready for delivery to subscribers and others. The work makes a handsome volume of 420 pages, and the author has evidently expended a great deal of time and care in getting it up. A cursory examination satis fies us that the book will be a valuable ac quisition not only to private and public schools, bat also to the learned and unlearned, andjthat it ought to he in every family, - The study of Geography is a pleasant and useful one to young and old, male and female, and Mr. H’s method of treating the subject, being somewhat different from any other Author, makes it peculiarly attractive, interesting and useful. We should be pleased to see the book have a widely extended patronage. CODE TO LIFE. Only a few months ago the Abolition presses rang with, the ory that the Demooratio party, as a party, was dead and bnried. If this was trne at the time, they must admit that there has been a glorious resurrection—the dsad has come to life and -is every day giving unmis takable evidenoe of extraordinary vitality. Ui S.

A SPECK OF TROUBLE WITH SPAIN. The Spanish Minister haa addressed to onr government a demand for an apology for the, horning of a vessel in Spanish watera hjr onej oftlie ships of Admiral FarraguFs fleet ;This acty it is oomplained, waa made more henioos by insults to a CabanMagistrate who romon. strated -against this wrong dpne in- a neutral port. Spain! evidently thinks herself strong enough, and;the United Stages weak enough, to justify her threats, in daee apology aod raparatipu rbe - iuriLgranted. The Spanish squadron now craising in the Golf might un doubtedly give trouble to the large fleet of onr transport vessels whiah will soon, from all in dications, be obliged to navigate that region. Looking at the'oonree of Franee and Spain together, it would seem possible that the entente cordiale, broken by General Prim in Mexico may be renewed in a more northern latitude— Wash. Cor. N. Y. Times. DIFFICULTIES WITH FRANCE. The official Bnnonneement made some days ago by the State Department, that there is no reason to apprehend serions embarrassments with France on acoonnt of General Butler’s operations in Lonisiana, is now proved to have this foundation and no more. The French government has demanded full and immediate indemnity for all injuries inflicted upon French citizens by General Butler; the im mense armament —now nearly ready at Mar seilles—being pointed to as the commentary on the diplomatic request. Our State Depart ment, therefore in announcing that there will be no difficulty, leading to rapture of relations, merely informs the French Minister in advance that it is ready to back down to any extent from General Butler’s aots; and that no defence of that officer’s conduct, and no adequate examination of the Frenoh com plaints will be made as a bar to this further effort to conciliate. The faot is, however, that a powerful sentiment here supports the justice of General Butler’s coarse; and that there are many influential advisers of the President, who think that this mode of invariably pur chasing peace with Europe, by ooneeding every demand, is bad policy, certain in the end to result in still further olaims of an even more outrageous oharaoter. They think we are strong enough not to sacrifice our own Best officers to foreign clamor. NEGRO OUTRAGES. The following are only a few of many simi lar paragraphs, with whioh onr exchange papers are filled. Truly, we are beginning to reap the fruits of Abolitionism very near home—much nearer than is agreeable: Convicted of Rape.— The colored men, Reuben and David Long, recently tried in Greensburg, for having ravished a respecta ble married lady, residing in Westmoreland county, have been convicted. The defendants are brothers. The punishment for rape is imprisonment in the Penitentiary for the period of not less than one nor more than fifteen years. —Pittsburg Post. A Soldier Murdered —On Saturday morn ing last, a soldier, named Ranner ConkliD, be longing to the Carlisle Garrison, was mur dered in North street, Carlisle, by a black mas, named Abe Bell, into whose house he was trying to gain admittance. Bell, who is now in jail, made a full oonfession, and at tempts to excuso himself by asserting that he acted in self defence. He has always been a bad and desperate negro.— Carlisle Volun teer. A Soldier Stabbed. —A great excitement was created in the neighborhood of Third and Mulberry streets, on Wednesday afternoon about 4 o’clock, by the stabbing of a soldier by a negro. It appears that a soldier had been in one of the negro huts in that vicinity, looking after someclotheß whioh he had given out to be washed, and as he waß leaving the house, he accidentally ran against a negro who was standing near the door. The colli sion seemed to ruffle the temper of the darkey, who, pot satisfied with abusing the soldier, followed and stabbed him, inflating a severe aud it is thought a fatal wound. The Provost Guard arrested the negro. —Harrisburg Tele graph Nov. 20. Fiendish Outrage on a Female. —About 11 o’clock Saturday morning, James Ander son, a negro about 20 years of age, residing with D. R. Doremia, in Hackensack, N. J., followed a young woman about three quarters of a mile down the railroad, and then com mitted an outrage upon her. After the ac complishment of his design, he Btole his employer’s horse, saddle and bridle, and made his escape to New York. The girl thus foully wronged is about nineteen years of age, of irreproaohablo oharaoter, and a daughter of the manager of the Avres form, near Wood bridge, in this State.— Newark, N. J., Journal. THE WAR IN TENNESSEE, Nashville, Nov. 19. Gen. Sill’s advance had a slight skirmish on Sunday morning with rebel cavalry on the Murfreesboro’ road, seven miles from Nash ville. Nobody was hurt. Yesterday Gen. Wood’s advance had another Bkirmish at Rural Hill, lasting two hours and. a half. Four dead rebels were left.on the field, and four of the privates of the Thir teenth were captured. Morgan’s oavalry dis mounted and fought as infantry, but escaped our flanking party by skedaddling Twenty artillery shots were fired. Our foraging and scouting parties aro soouriDg the oountry. Gens. Bragg and Buckner spent Saturday night and and Sunday at Murfreesboro’. It is definitely ascertained that Bragg, as report ed, is in command. The main body of the rebels, it is believed, are at Tallahoma. It now begins to appear that they intend to stand at Tallahoma. It is seventy eight miles from Nashville. We have information that they are receiving reinforcements rapidly, many of whom aro raw conscripts, and it is reported that they are fortifying in the rear and near Tallahoma. One division of their army is posted at Murfreesboro’. Considerable rain has fallen within three days. Cumberland river has swollen several feet. The weather ib again clour. Unless the rains in the mountains have been muoh heavier, the rise will not prove sufficient to re open navigation. The New York World appeared last week in an entire new dress, and is now the neatest looking as well as the ablest conducted daily paper in the Empire City. Ifcß eourse in the late canvass in New York helped much to bring about the great Demooratio viotory, and wo are glad to see the Democracy and Conservative men nobly sustaining it. gen. McClellan in new York. General McClellan visited New York on business last week, and met , with a moEt cordial and enthusiastic reception from all classes. Amongst other dignitaries who oalled to see him were Mayor Ofdtke and the veteran Lieutenant General Scott. He declined a public reception, bat made a b. ief speech when serenaded. Death of Rear-Admiral Lavellette.— Rear-Admiral Elie A. F. Lavellette, of the U. S. Navy, died in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening, in hie 73d year. Ho was a native of Virginia, though appointed from Pennsyl vania, and has been in service over fifty years. He entered the Navy as sailing master in 1812. Philadelphia and Erie Railroad. —The Philadelphia and Erie Railroad is open to the month of the Sinnemahohing, 16 miles west of North Point, 39} miles from Lock Haven, and 105}.miles from Snnbury. By the 25th of November the track will be laid to the forks of the Tionesta, 12 miles east of Warren, and 78 miles east of Erie City. By December, 4 several miles of rails will be down east of Tionesta Forks. The Philadlephia Newspapers. —At a meeting of the newspaper proprietors of Phil adelphia, on Wednesday last, it was unani mously resolved that an increase in the charge for subscription or a reduction in the size of their papers was necessary, to meet the heavy advanoe in the prioe of paper and printing materials. The change will be made forth with. “We go for change Mil we getthe right man, If It hare to he done every month.”— Washington fitpaUican.

FRAUDS OH THE TREASURY DE- .FARTHBHT. _ A Washington correspondent of the Now York Times says that it is understood that as soon as Congress,shall’meet, a committ&vrilT rig, called for ’connected with adds: . if'-' :t ■lt is ; stated that (tt® contactors: are charging and ft very worthless artimpof papar.and t&at in various other ways the Government is being constantly swindled. The quality of the paper need in the postage stamp currency is execra ble ; the engravings of all the notes is, if pos sible,-worse; and instead of being models of art, they are-a disgrace to the age and country. Eugrayinga are palmed upon the Department as having been executed with the eccentrio lathe, whioh are.aotually produced by whatis oaUed a.Rose j.-a maohine--which is in the hands of all who manufacture - jewelry, or practioecounterfeiting on a large scale. The designs are from old dies, that have already been multiplied by the hundred. The ink is olaimed. to be patented,'and is so marked on the notCB ; bat if the ink is green, all who see the notes are not; and a recent test by expe rienced chemists has proved that a fraud is perpetrated on the Government, in the use of a spurious article, for which the law imposes heavy penalties. Seoretary Chase may not suspect duplicity in those: to whom’he has given his confidence,-and who maintain their positions by the aid of sooial and personal influence. Something mast be on the tapis at this time, as parties connected with the paper and note oontraots are in Washington, apparently much devoted to the Hon. Secre tary. It is rumored that a contract for paper has been made with another party, who offered a vastly superior artiole at lower prioes, and that the old contractors are now moving heaven and earth to get the contract annulled and the old order re established. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. The passenger train due here on Saturday morning on the Pennsylvania Railroad did not araive until evening, about five o’clock. It left Pittsburg on Friday afternoon nearly in hour after its usual starting time, owing to some detention on the connecting railroads, but everything seemed right until they ar rived near Lilly station, some eight miles fromCresson, where the train was brought to a stop by the announcement that a freight train was off the track Borne two miles ahead. The passenger train was drawn over tho mountains by two large locomotives, and in front of the passenger train was a very large freight train standimg on the traok on a high grade. It was drawn by a very large locomotive in front and another of the same class waß push ing it in the rear. The front locomotive had been detached from the train in order to aid the freight train ahead on the traok, and the rear locomotive was also detached and taken down the grade in order to shift it on the other traok. While this process was going on and when the rear locomotive was nearly down the grade and in front of the two loco motives drawing the passenger train, the en gineer of the backing locomotive, Mr. Powell Sharp, discovered that the whole train was in rapid motion coming down the steep grade on his locomotive and the eats filled with passen gers. He reversed his engine in an instant and rushed up the grade in order to meet the freight cars aud stop their descent if possible. In this he was partially successful, but after a slight check of the freight oars the whole train came down on the passenger train, de molishing the locomotive with which Mr. Sharp had checked the progress of the train, and also of the two locomotives whioh were drawing the passenger oars. This occurred about twelve o’clock on Friday night, in the midst of the mountains, or rather a wilderness, anti the scene can be easier imagined than de scribed. The passengers in the train, mostly asleep in the dead hour of the night, were thus suddenly aroused and thrown from their seats violently, and. yet, wonderful to relate, a' few of them were only slightly scratched about the faoe. These injuries were mostly sustain ed from the irons which are placed on the back of the seats on which the passenger restß his head. Passengers in the train related that the des truction of three locomotives was almost com plete, together with a large number of oars. The passengers on the train have drawn up a paper in testimony of the engineer, who so heroically periled his own life to save the lives of the passengers, which will be presented to him. It has not been fully determined what kind of a testimonial is to be presented to Mr. Sharp, but we understand that from five to six hundred dollars havo heen contributed for that object, —Harisburg Telegraph, 17th insl. More Money for the Negro.— The Wash ington correspondent of the Boston Herald writes as follows : The Commissioners under the aot emanci pating tho slaves in this District havo comple ted their labors. Over three thousand slaves have been freed by them, and while tho price for each is on an average only about one half or two thirds of their estimated value, tho appropriation of one million dollars has fallen far short of the amount required, and a further appropriation of nearly half a mil lion more is required. This money will bo freely voted and prompt ly paid, while thousands of our brave soldiers in the field have had no pay for six months, and besides are suffering for want of proper clothing. OUR NEXT SENATOR. Chevalier Forney has a facetious article on the scramble he anticipates among some of our leading Democrats for the seat in the Senate now occnpied by Mr. Wilmot. Allu ding to our having but one majority, the face tious Colonel says : “Suppose this majority of one should dwindleinto nothing—suppose some Demoorat should take it into his head to vote for “some body else”—but we will not pursue this pain ful subject.” Our readers will more thoroughly appreci ate the “painful” part of this “subject” when they are reminded that during the winter of 1856-7, the intrepid Forney was the Demo oratio oandidate for United States Senator, our majority on joint ballot then being three. But Cameron was pitted against Forney and beat him easily. This is the part of the sub ject which Forney considers painful. No wonder. —Pittsburg Post. fi6y*The Logan (0.) Gazette gets off some excellent hits. In a late number is a cut of a pole with a copperhead snake wound round it, and underneath is the following: Question. Copperhead ! Copperhead ! where are you goiDg! Answer. I’m climbing this pole to bear the oocks orowlng 1 Question. Copperhead! Copperhead 1 what do yon see 1 Answer. Butternuts! Butternuts! as thick as oan be 1 The point of the above will be better un derstood when wo state, that in Ohio the Democrats are called “ Butternuts ” and the Abolitionists “ Copperheads.” Have Not Arrived Yet.— “ Yates, the Abolition Governor of Illinois, told the Presi dent that, if he would issue the ’Emancipa tion Proclamation, he could ‘ stamp armies out of the earth,’ who would ‘ leap like flam ing giants into the fight.’ Where are the giants?” They have joined Greeley’s army corps of nine hundred thousand, and Governor An drew’s Yankees who were to “ swarm on every highway and by-way.” There’s where these “giante” are, and yon can’t badge them ; they wouldn’t “ march on,” even if “John Brown’s soul” were to appear to “ marshal them the way that they should go.” They want to go the other way. Late advices from Washington state that “ Father Abraham ” takes the result of the late elections quite philosophically. On beiDg asked by “ glorious ” Forney how he felt about New York, he replied—“ Somewhat like the boy in Kentucky, who stamped his toe while running to see his sweetheart. The hoy said ho was too big to ory, arid far too badly hurt to laugh.” Old Abe will have his “joak.” Well, it is the only consolation he has now-a-days, . ' . US' Gen. Francis E.

TUE BAFE HARBOR MURDER CASE. On Thursday morning the case of the Com’th. vs. Sam uel Neff. Br., for the murder of Jacob Sma)tz»r, on the 6th of September, 1861, was called np A very full report of the facts in this case was published at the trial of Lev! Neff, at April sessions. The panel of jurors was exhausted without obtaining the full number, eight only being taken, bod the rest challenged for various causrs—except a few absentees, who wore fined $5 by the Court* This oc copied the time of the Court umii half-past teo, when all the jurors who had been challenged were discharged from farther attendance, and a special venire placed Id the hands of the Sheriff. returnable at 2 o’clock, after which Court adjourned to that hour. Court met at 2 o’clock, and the tweoty-foor jurors brongbt'in by the Bberiff were railed, and the pao«d was soon filled,- as follows: Lrvi B. Brubaker, William Ganlt, H H Landis, Christian Rowe, Simon Hostettsr, Jacob G. Peters, Wilson Brubaker. ITeory O Locber, Henry Hersh, Thomas 0. Wiley, Peter B Mowry The remainder of the special jurors were then discharged and the capo proceeded. The Commonwealth produced the same testimony as on the trial of Levi Neff, published In full in these columns; during which the grand jury brought in a bill against Josephine Davis, for larceny, to which she plead guilty, and was sentenced to 6 months’ imprisonment. The facts brought, out oq the Commonwealth side of the case are briefly as follows: On the day of the murder, a difficulty first arose about a fi6b pot which the Neffs had placed on the site of one belonging ro ths 9mePz ft rp. which bad been washed nwoy. This the Bme tzers cut away and set floatlDU down the river. In the presence of the two young Neffs. Reuben and Lovl, with two others. In the afternoon, old Neff, (the defendant) his three sons and a man named Sides, undertook (in retaliation, it seemed.) lo cat away another pot belonging to the Smeltzurs. The owaers seeing them, naturally took their boats aod started out to”interfere. Two shots were fired at the bo it as it approached, aod when it came within about twenty yards ot the pot. old Neff took deliberate aim and shot John Smeltzer down, who had Just called to him, “ Don’t shoot —we waut to talk to you.” John foil back severely wounded, and the boat went on, when one of the young Neffs (wh£pb cot showD) fired and shot Jacob Smeltzer dead who Ml out of the canoe Into the water. Friday Mornikg: Court met at 9 o’clojk, and the testi mony for the Commonwealth in the Neff case proceeded.— The previous testimony was that of John Smeltzer and Henry Kejfcr, who were present at the whole transaction. This morning Jacob Immel testified that old Neff, on the day of the murder, caeue to his hoose, and narrated the affair, saying that he had told his boys to sh--ot, after first firing in the air to stop the Szneltzsrs from approaching. H. 8. Zercher had crossed the river with old Neff on September stk. when they were talking about the fish-pot, and Neff said his boyß had one in ; old N-ff then declared that “he would bo damned if be did not shoot three or four men, about some lumber on Hickory Island,” as thero bad been » g>od deal of difficulty about matters Samuel W altera testified that he bad sometime before this, caught a log *-n Hickory Island, and he and Jacob Smeltzer went to take it off, when the four Ncffa came and claimed tho same log. which he (Walters) said was his, as ho was the first man on it. On the day of the murder, he was on the lock, and wbeo he heard the first shot, started to the'Dlace, but the shooting was over before he came where he could see them, an island obstructing his view; raw the Neffs leave, and found John Smeltzer wounded and Jacob dead; assisted in bring them to shore. The Grand Jury here returned, having finished their ousiness; their report was read, as annexed, and they Were discharged. Frederick ehoff testified that old Neff bad said, on the 4th of September, 1861. there were f -nr York coonty men, .on and along the hill?, whom he wonld shoot on the first opportunity. When asked who they wore, he said that was his own business. He also said that a part <«f the spite against these four men was about a stick of timber ou Hickory Island tint they wonld not let him take away. The Smeltzers, Sprankle and fchoff live on and along the hiiis. Geo. C. Hawthorn, Esq.,' visited old Neff In prison a few days after the affair. Neff said, he and Sides bad fired in the air when the Mneltzers were some distance off. When they approached, Benben, one of the boys, was going to shoot John Sineltzar in tho legs. When Keaben shot, the shot struck a stone, glanced upward and hit him higher than was intended. When John was shot, Jacob Smeltzer sprang out on the wall exclaiming “a hundred dollars,” Neff supposing him to offer that amount if they wonld not shoot. While he (Jacob) was advancing, Levi was bolding the gun at cock, and by accident the gun went off and shot Jacob. The Commonwealth here 'closed, claiming the right to have SamuelNeff, junior, sworn at any time that they could produce him during the trial—all efforts to do so thus far having failed. Mr Amwake opened for tho defense, and they proceeded to call their witnesses. * Noah Sides testified substantially the same as at tho former trial, but contradicted himself on cross-examination, at one time saying tbit young Neff had come for him, and previously statiug that he was on the river, and young Neff called to him to “ come in, and go along to cut out a fish-pot.” Reuben Neff (son of the prisoner) detailed the facts in the same words, very neatly, contradicting Mdea on tho same point where he contradicted himself, but agreed with Sides in sweariDg that he (Reaben) and not the old man, had shot John Seltzer. Ho also agreed with Sides that Levi held his gun down. Levi told Jacob Smeltzer to stop. The old man said, Boys, let ns go.” Levi tumoJ, and was about shouldering his gan to leave, when it was discharged, and ho exclaimed, “0 my Qod! my gun went off 1” Levi left and Keuben and the rest followed, leaving Jacob Bmeltzcrin the waterwherebe foil. Ihewtolefour met afterwards, and Benben and Levi started for Lancas ter, and came here at 9 o’clock that nlgnt, went to Harris burg and enlisted, under their own names. Sides had promised te ci me in tbo alternoon and bring his gan to help cut out the fish-pot. Lot! Neff testified to the transaction at the first fißh pot about the same os Benben, except that Levi remembered an offer to compromise for a small consideration, about which llenb n said nothing in his testimony. Levi said they asked Bides to come down again and try to gather np their pot, or what watt left of it, (contradicting Kcoben again, who said they had agreed to cat out the bmeUzers* fish pot.) The old man didn’t go with them at first, but told them to go that he would afterwards come t>wards the piace and see. The old man had his gun repaired that morning to shoot bald eagles. They ail met at the pot. L«vi and Koubeu both asserted that Smeltzer aimed the socket-polo at Reuben, who fired in eelf-defence, not being able to get oat of the way ; Levi then afterwards accident ally discharged his. gun, and killed Jacob Smeltzer; the lock was out of icpatrand the gnn would not stand cocked any time; it had sinco gono off once accidentally, in the presence of the counsel, Mr. Amwake, who was down there fishing; it had since been repaired, for fear of farther ac cident. Levi positively denied hearing his father-order him to shoot, but only heard him say they should “ keep them back,” not mentioning shootiDg his son unless he shot at the Smoltzers, as was testified on a former trial. The wit ness was asktd whether- that bad not been asserted on his trial, which caused a discussion as to the propriety of the questions b-iug asked; it allowed, and the Court ad jouroed till half-past taoo’cluck. Friday Aftebkoon : Conrt met at half-past 2 o’clock, and after a few questions, adducing nothing of importance, Levi Neff was dismissed, after again denying (hat he bad taid to the constable or any od» pise, that his lather had forced him to shoot; said that Brubaker advised them to run off and enlist. Matilda Neff testified that Jaeob Smellzer had threatened old Neff s life if he came over into York county, in conse quence of which Neff was afraid to go thither. Adam Doerstler, Samuel Pickel, Christian Wissler, Adam Warfel, Henry Brenner, testified to the good character of old Neff, having never heard anything against him except at the former trial; the defence then closed. John Clark, the constable, was called, and contradicted Noah Bidee’evidence about bis-going Into the affair: he aIEO testified positively that Levi Neff had told him that the old man compelled them to do whatever he.said; that the old man had said on the occasion of the murder, “ shoot, or-l’ll shoot you 1 shoot, and I’ll bang.for you!” He also testified that when he went to Harrisburg to arrest them, they answered to the fictitious names of Benben Wilson and Levi Miller. * -■ Messrs. Reynolds, Amwake and Frantz’s addresses to the jury were delivered, when the Court adjourned at 6 o’clock to meet again at 7 Friday Avesinq : Conrt opened at 7 o’clock, and Mr Atlee proceeded to address the Jury in a speech of some length, after which the Court charged the jnry, who re tired at half-past eight, when the Court adjourned till the ringing of the bell. . Saturday Morning, at half-past twelve.o’clock, the bell rang, Court convened, and toe Jury rendered a verdict of ; guilty of murder in the second degree, and Court adjourn ed till nine o’clock. • convened at nine, and sentence was passed by Judge Long, who said that on reflection ho mltigatlog ;cir cum stance appeared. Neff was sentenced to the Eastern Penitentiary for eleven years and-six months. THE GRAND JUBY.BEEORT. .

The condition of the country' has naeesritated heavy ex penses on the county. We therefore wonld not recommend any extensive improvement at the Hospital. The only Improvement that they would suggest, and the only defect they noticed, was in the ventilation of the Hospital; but even hare the evil is not so great that they would feel jastlfivd in recommending any ‘ improvement, unless if can be~ done at a trifling expense. < In conclusion, the Grand Jury wish to return their sin cere thanks to the Court, the District Attorney, and the Bheriff lor the courtesy and attention extended to them.

Ret. Francis Hodgson, D. D —We clip the following article from the H.irrisbnrg Patriot of Tuesday morning la6t. Dr. H. is well and favorably known in this community, and the complimentary notice of oor able co tempnrary does him no than simple justice: In Town —Among the strangers in town yesterday we noticed R«v. Dr. Hodoson. presiding elder of this district, formerly pastor of the Locust Street Methodist Church, oow hereon official business. This gentium m ir one ot the most learned, truly pi-ms and conservative 'lergymen of the Methodist Ep : Haopal denomination As a sound theologian, logical debater andelrqm-nt preacher be has few equals. It is to be regretted that the pulpits of our country are not all filled by men of Dr. Hoduson’s stamp, instead of the empty-headed, ranting fanatics who dese crate so many, temples of won-hip with spread-eagle ha raueues on war and politics, and denunciations of all men who do not coma up to their standard of loyalty, and eq dorse their radical and ridicnloos viows relative to the conduct of the war. Alter being surfeited with such stuff, it is refreshing to listen to a sensible man like Dr. Hodoson, whose sermoneare always appreciated as intellectual and moral treats by intelligsnt congregations. The “ Ni-Partt ” Men Still at Work.— Ezra Lamborn lias been appointed Postmaster at Enter prise, this county, in place ol John Dunlap, removed.- Reason: Mr. DuaJap is a sound, Constitutional-Union loving Democrat. Drafted Men and their Substitutes.— There has been much difference of opinion In regard to tho relative positions of drafted men and tbeir substitutes. The following Important decision which ha* been elicited by tbe gentTeman to whom it is addressed, appears to set tle the question: War Department. 1 Washington, D. C., Nov. 1, 1862. / Rev. Silas Livermore. Gut irieville, Pa: Sib: In reply to yours of tbe*27th ult., desiring to be informed on certain qoestion* appertaining to the draft, the Secretary of War directs me to say that, when a draft ed man furnishes a substitute that is accepted, the : two change places. The principal Is liable to another draft, if made, just as he would be if he had not been drafted at first, and tbe substitute is bound by the first draft of the principal, just as if he bad been drafted himself. Yery respectfully, C. P- BUOKINGHAM, Brig. Gen. and A. A. G. A Year of Jubilee.— Ths German Re formed Church will celebrate tbe year 1863, as the third centennial celebration of the adoption of the Heidelberg Catechism aa tbe rule of its faith next to and aa explana tory of the Word of God, it having been adopted In the year 1663 three hundred years ago.‘ The entire year, we believe, is to be observed as a year of Jubilee.

Many. ■Or The Intelligencer. BX-PRKSIDEST BUCHA.HAS AMD TUB Messes. EidTOM:-:Th6.pwvailing Idea everywhere held as to the tr(ie< character odt.onr. Government, and the only security foe the permanent, .onion of the States, was the principle of common affection resting upan a basis of nni versa!interest.- ’ The sanction of any Constitntlou'wonlil be impotent to retain in concert or harmonious action a number of rover eighties hostile 1q feeling, end acting under the impulse of real- or Imagined diversity of Interests. The true central therefore, ie ln a fraternal affection based upon the common and a reeort to forte, as long as compromise upon terms of friendship is- poesible, Wonld be vein and nugatory, and subject a Preeldent, who would suffer him self to be the instrument of so great a diversity .of the common functions of the Government from Its reel ciusti* tutional genius, 'td ridicule and censure. To maintain this very idea, and to preserve intact this cardinal principle, Mr Btjchinan, while President, directed the whole foroe of his executive authority, end it would seem that for'the exercise of this greatest of ail states man-like virtues, and that which is most of all contemplated by the Constitution, he receives the censure of an ungrateful people. From the very beginning of his administration to its eloae Mr. Buobaitan bad to contend with a bitter, deter mined and unrelenting opposition, whose leading poiley was atmZru and empty of every. 1m portant issue except the OTenhrew of the President and hlrf party. Th!a was pa If pably the ever present ever active and predetermined object for the accomplishment of which all their utopian schemes of political legerdemain were directed. The high character of his great office, the spotless history of hla eventful life, and the patriotic services so well rendered to his country, contained nothing of sacredness to eheck the mad purposes of their hearts, or to protect the prerogative of justice and truth from the insults of this designing and heartless foe. Nor was this object confined alone to his political ene mies, but those who were pretended friends, and who should have out of principle sustained hie administration, because of disappointments In the distribution of hla pa tronage, joined in this unnatural and Satanic crusade, and emulated the worst passions of the wont of his personal and political enemies, in outraging the common laws of conventional as well as political decency. Notwithstanding ail this opposition, he conducted hts administration to Its close with a masterly hand, and like the skilful physician dexterously warding off side Issues, which are continually seeking to'fa&tea themselves to the vitals of his patient, who is almost consumed with the ravages of a nuilgoaut fever which Is obstinately destined to run its course, he carefully avoids evary unnecessary asperity, and, at the hazard of reputation and personal safety, closes hts term of office without provoklag a elvil conflict, and saves his ' country for the time being from the horriole ravages of an intestine and fraternal war. Great capital was made by his calumniators of his refus al to provoke civil Btrifa by the reinforcement of Fort Sumter. Every loud-mouthed political demagogue esteemed it bis special privilege to instruct his more ignorant neigh bor the peculiar method of joining in the'goneral clamor until the whole country seemed impressed.with the Idea that one or tW'i hundred men added to that little garrison in a single fort in Charleston would close np and defeat the whole scheme of sec&ssfou, and cause the people of the seven seceded States tamely to return to their alle giance. As though the “incipient rebellion” actually de pended upon the strength of the walls of that fort, or at all events was a thing within reach of Its guns, that could be propitiated and even annihilated by a stronger force at a given time. Subsequent events have shown that the forts all along the Southern coast have proved to be of comparatively small account after Ihe provocation was given and the first blow struck. Ihe hearts and feelings of tho people of the seceded Btates containol the elements of discontent, and, whether jnstiy or otherwise, esteemed themselves aggrieved and humiliated at the advent to power of a sectional party whose avowed object from Us Inception was to Infringe upon the peculiar social institution of the Sooth, and hence tha determination upon their part to resist the mandates of that party and the authority of its President. It was a caeo that called claarly ami loudly for conciliation and compromise, and. until all efforts in this direction proved abortive, a resort to the arbitrament of the sword was fatile and criminal. To prevent a defeat of wise, constitutional and humane measures, it was patent to every mind that the mad passions of men and sections must not be aroussd. and hence the inauguration of the masterly policy of President Buchanan of doing nothing to provoke a collision of arms between the poople of the South and tbo General Government. To have reinforced Fort Bumter under these circumstances, in any manner of form whatever, would have caused the same disaster under Mr. Buchanak’B administration as it did under that of Mr. Lincoln at a later date. And is it not presumable that the samo class of meu who sought to stigmatize Mr. Buch anan for not doing so, wonld have turned a more withering ceasure upon him for any manner of conduct which would have precipitated civil war upon us? In either horn of the dilemma Mr. Buchanan was to be sacrificed and become the scape giat of thatr infamous abuse, aod bis party the object of tbeir terrible though fruitless malediction. The great mistake made by the people of the North was their disregaid of the earnestness and determination of the people of the South to absolve themselves from a union with the Federal Government. And no argument can be more devoid of force than to suppose that President Buch anan could havo crushed the rebellion iu Its earliest htigea with hut the Impulsive “By tb9 Eternal 1 the Union must and shall be preserved.” The feeling was too deep, aod the sense of wrong andshame too abiding to be successfully confronted by such Indications of force, without entering into just such a contest as It was the hops of every citizen should be avoided, but which, alas! has since come, and which Is surely and steadily drawing our once happy country lot) bankruptcy and ruiu. Is it not rather tbo shameful results of a degenerated, cowardly, parly prejudice, th*n the noble Impulso of a true, loyal and patriotic heart, that a man whose erery thought and feebng is, and ever has beca, for the good of his country, aod who has dope that c untry mire real good by bis whole life ot devotion to her Interests than any other llriDg statesman, should be thus abased aod tra duced for doing what every honest intedigent and true hearted ritlzon must acknowledge was tin best that could have been done, amidst accnmulatiu: difficulties and po litical complications almost too great for tho mind ot man to coutemplatr?

The most encouraging feature, howevor. in the whole coarse of the carrent of persecution wlihh seemed for a time to be carrying the ex-Presideut away from bis old political status, is the fart that his party was inundated with him. ne was at no period less popular than the good old Democratic party that gave him his preferment and his honors. It was the disgraceful whirlwind of excitement and low passion which across she Northern States after the fall of Fort- Sumter, which was the first puff of the contaminating atmosphere of the reign of ter ror, which was far more furious and disgraceful to the raDks of the party than harmful or permanently Injurious to Mr Bucbaran.

Observes. For The Intelligencer. SIISS LUCY TURNS HER ATTENTION TO LITERATURE—SHE BECOMES A “WRITERESS.” - I’m a strOng-minded woman., I “disgust” weak ones.— I believe in tbo progress of ideas. I subscribe to all the countless “isms” of unweariedly prolific Massachusetts. I look upon tbe children of Ham as a superior order of be ings, and the Inhabitants of Yankeedom as next in tbe scale of descent. I have unwavering faith in the Infalli bility of Abraham the Emancipator. I admit kll Procla mations to be ‘‘military necessities,” and declare his gov ernment unprecedented In History. I acknowledge him to be Moses, tbe Second —the “Deliverer of bis people.” I adore the dashing Pathfinder Fremont. I believe he wonld .make a 2:40 General ia-Cblef, rasbing directly on to victory or “~Bomething else. I admire, and view with astonish ment, the “masterly retreats” of the modest heroes, Banka and Pope. I stood ready, at one time,-to approve all ‘‘or ders” issuing “from the saddle” of the latter. I rejoice over the removal of * traitor” McClellan’ from command of the Army of the Potomac. I regard him as an imbecile old fogy of “slow movements;” as utterly in capable of comprehending and appreciating the “great Issues” at stake. I suspect him of entertaining the wiok* edly insane desire to sustain the Constitution and preserve the liberties of the white man, rather than free the Negro and “let the Union slide.” I belong to the Administration paity.; the party of “tro* patriots.” lam burniog to serve myeouotry—for a com pensation ! I insist upon “Woman’s rights” theref iremy sex need not interfere. lam “able bodied”—not disabled in any way. If no better opportunity presents itself I em ready to act in a civil capacity, as Shoddy Contractor, or Cabinet Officer. For the laborious duties of th=» latter position lam abundantly qualified mentullyand physical ly, even to the long fingers of “incorruytible” Simon, and in case the approaching Congress should fail to appreciate my efforts to relieve tbo Treasury. 1 would uot hesitate to resign tbe SecrtUryshlp and undertake an Embassy to Russia. I have been debating, for eoveral days, the policy of forming a partnership in the Substitute Brokerage busi ness, bnt. unable to find any individual willing to assume the responsibility of the “Rail” Department, for which I have no - taste, I am compelled to boot some other outlet to suppressed eDergi«s. A female of my ability ought certainly to fiad sc pe for her powers among tbe variouy activities of earnest life in thlsrouutry. I have been {q search < fmy “sphere” for fall fitly years— Jour years I should sty—(a more pen-t graphical error,’ however.) —without success. A friend snggoais tuat I try th-i Domestic. Thtt is not available at present. I shall wait till tbe philanthropist Greeley with his ‘ 990,000 stalwart men,” to bid “the oppreszol go free.”— Then, amoDg tho Great Uncbaioed. I shall seek my'“affin ity,” and gently woo, not ‘Ttheedle, him Into matrimony,” as the vulgar wife of a hw Breckinridge Democrat who endeavored lately, tbroogh the ballot-box, to secure a two winters’ sojourn in tbe salubrious climate of Washington forther bel General Steinmsn—audaciously asserts it fa my intention to do. I grow ecstatic over the prospect. I shall bask to the sunshine cf love and congeniality. Bnt ah! the thonzht intrudes itself that even then myesky will not be cloudless. lam too apt to look on the dark side. I win hope for lasting bliss. A happy circumstance has just this moment directed my attention to literature. I shall pursue that profession.. I will be a “Writeres*” till my “Destlny”.conjes to give me something else to do, and endow me with a name even nobler and more enphonlbos than LUCY STONE, Junior.
