[From the Carlisle Volunteer.] PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. For some weeks past the following call appeared at the head of the Carlisle Herald , the abolition organ of Cumber land County: TO THE SOLDIERS OF PENNSYLVANIA. Harrisburg, May J, 1860. In obedience to tho authority vested in mo by a resolution adopted by the Conven tion of Soldiers, held in this city, on the eighth day of March, 1800,1 do hereby re quest tho honorably discharged soldiers of Pennsylvania to meet in their respective Legislative districts, and elect delegates, not exceeding five in number, to represent their district in a Soldiers’ Convention, to bo held in tho city of Pittsburg, on Tues day thfoGfth of June next, at ton o’clock, A.

Where any Representative district com prises more than one county, the manner of electing the delegates is respectfully re ferred to tho soldiers of the district, for such conference as will result in a fair representa tion of each county. Citizeus who have borne arms in defense of the nation against treason have especial interest in tho purpose of this Convention, and it is desirable that as full a representa tion of tho bravo defenders of the country as possible should bo soeurod on this occa sion. J. F. Hartranft. Late Brevet Major Genera), U. S. A. In accordance with tho above cull a coun ty meeting of honorably discharged officers and soldiers of Cumberland County will be held at Ilheem’s Hall, on Monday the 28th of Muy, at 11 o'clock, A. M. to select Five Delegates to represent tho county in said Convention and to make arrangements ter appointing Senatorial Delegates in connec tion with York county. In pursuance of this notice, a large and enthusiastic meeting of honorably discharged soldiers, convened in Rheem’s Hall, at the appointed houron Monday last. Nearly every borough and township in the county was represent ed during the session of the Conven tion. A temporary organization waaeflected by calliug Capt. K. Beatty, of Carlisle, to the chair, and selecting ('apt. Jnb. I). Adair us Secretary. The followingpermanentofllcers were then elected : President— Capt. Jacob Porsheimer of Muchanicslmrg. Vice.

Edgar Leo, of Carlisle. The object of the meeting, as contained in the published cull, was then stated by the President. On motion of Capt. Wagoner, it was then resolved that the Convention proceed to elect live dele gates to represent Cumberland County in the Convention to be held at Pittsburg. The following gentlemen were then elected, with but slight opposition from a few Thad. Stevens radicals who were in the Convention—the vote'standing about one hundred and thirty-three to twenty. The delegates are: Capt. Alex. W. Woodburn, of Newton ; (’apt. S. C. "Wagoner, of Newville; Capt. W. P. Lloyd, of Lower Allen ; Capt. J. A. Graham, of Frankford, and Captain IsiSali H. Graham, of Sonth Middleton. Here Capt.. Kdgar" Lee addressed the meeting, and declared that if it was the object of the Convention to endorse Andrew Johnson, he wished it dis tinctly understood that he was opposed to Johnson’s policy, and wished to withdraw from the Convention. Capt. Beatty and two or three others made similar remarks and also withdrew. The following resolutions were then offered by Capt. Lloyd and unanimously adopted : Wo, the Soldiers of Cumberland County, who took part in the war for the Union, be ing this day assembled in Convention, un der tliu call of Major General Hartmuft, do hereby declare to our fellow citizens our •sentiments: Resolved, That having fought, for tho Union, and assisted in restoring tho national authority throughout the land, wo are un alterably opposed to tho Radical revolu tionists in Congress, who are attempting to do what tho robols failed to do—subvert our free institutions and destroy Jho Union. Resoleed. That tho Rebellion being e.rushod and its armies dispersed, the peo ple of .the Southern States should bo im mediately restored to their rights in the Union, and loyal representatives should be admitted to Congress; and wo declare the late action of Congress, excluding tboso States for four years from representation and at tho samo’time making them subject to taxation, to be unjust and tyrannical. Resolved , That this Government was made for white men, and should be so per petuated; and wo are therefore opposed to negro suffrage, and will sustain no candi date for office who will not avow himself unequivocally opposed to negro sptlrnge anu negro equality. Resolved , That wo will sustain no party which seeks to detract from the honor justly duo to white Soldiers, of conquering the Re bellion and saving the Union, by declaring that without tho assistance of the negro, the causo would have been lost, and that “ the negro hears the palm.” Resolved, That we are in favor of the equalization of the bounties of Soldiers and Sailors who fought in the war for tho Union; and wo urge upon Congress speedy legisla tion-to oiled this object. Resolved, That we will stand by Andrew Johnson in his noble ellorts to doleat the bold bad men who stand in the way of the restoration of the States to their full Con stitutional rights, and that wo Indiove that in his magnanimous policy is only to be found a sure road to a restoration ol a union of hearts, and union of States, and peace and prosperity to the land. Resolved, That we believe that Hon. lltester Clvmer, tho Democratic candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania, holds upon all the great principles of public policy views similar to our own, and is a firm sup porter of President Johnson, and that there fore we will support him with our voices and votes. The hour of noon having arrived, the Convention adjourned to meet at it I*. M., in the Court Hall. On the reassembling of the Conven- Ucta, on motion of Captain Wagoner a committee on organization of one from each township in the county was ap pointed. After the transaction of some other business the Convention adjourned. SCENES IN THE CONVENTION There were many amusing incidents connected with the Soldiers’ Conven tion, on Monday last. When the Con vention was about to adjourn for dinner, Mr. John Adair informed the soldiers that‘//icy could not vied in the Jlall that afternoon, it having been rented jov an Abolition meeting at il o'clock. This meeting was improvised by the Aboli tion leaders, the “Soldiers’ friends,” for the purpose of breaking up the Con vention. The/ “ boys in blue ” at once resolved to meet i n the Court House or in front of it, and thus circumvented their pretended friends. When the Chairman was appointing the Standing Committee, the .Districts were called in turn, and a member ap pointed from each. “New Cumber land,” called the fSecretary. No re sponse. “ Will some gentleman be kind enough to name a Committeeman from New Cumberland?” asked the Presi dent. Captain Waggoner, of Newville, rose to his feet and very deliberately, with mock seriousness, suggested the name of John W. Geary. The sugges tion was received with a shout ot deri sive laughter, and the President re fused to add the name to the Committee until John endorsed the platform of the Convention. One of the radicals denounced the res olutlonsaß"hell-born,” and "[disloyal,” and was about withdrawing from the room, when the boys surrounded him and refused to let him out until lieapol ogized for his Insulting langunge. EDITORIAL COMMENTS OF THE VOL UNTEER, The “ boys in blue" have come home. They have not only come home, but they have spoken in tones of thunder which will be heard from the Delaware to the Ohio. They have spoken to the people of Pennsylvania from the very home of John w. Geary, and they brand with the mark of falsehood the plea that “ the hero of Snickersville” is “ the Soldiers’ candidate.” A Soldiers’ Convention assembled in this place, on Monday last, under the auspices of the Bepublican party, to bolster up the failing fortunes of Gen. Geary. The call for the Convention was published in the Republican papers of the county and In none others. The programme was “ cut and dried” by the home-guard detachment of Carlisle, the resolutions were prepared, and the dele gates to Pittsburg seleoted long before the day of the Convention. The meeting was called to order by a few patriotic gen tlemen of town, before the delegates from a distance had time to reach.the Hall; hut the opportune arrival of about one hundred and fifty " boys in blue” from the rural districts forced the patriotic fifteen from Carlisle to reconsider their action and go into a new election for officers of the Convention. It soon be came evident to the astonished followers of Sumner and Stevens, who are ex pected to have everything their own way, that out of about one hundred and seventy delegates present, fully one hun dred and fifty of them repudiated the nomination of John W. Geary, and en thusiastically favored the election of Hiester Clymer. Five delegates were elected to the Pittsburg Convention, every one whom is an araent supporter of Mr. Clymer; and resolutions were adopted denouncing the radical dis unionists in Congress, declaring that the Southern States are entitled to immedi ate representation, avowing their oppo sition to negro suffrage, and endorsing the policy of Andrew Johnson and the nomination of Hiester Clymer. The proceedings of this Convention have fallen like a bomb-shell into the Radical camp, and the visages of the Abolition managers of Cumberland county are as wobegone as if they were just returning from the funeral of their nearest relative. ‘ The conduct of the select few who sought to control the Convention was ridiculously ab surd. They were astounded, stunned, stupefied by the overwhelming voice of tlie soldiers against them and their dis union projects. Their paper General had led them into a terrible masked battery. Could it be possible that the soldiers would turn against the men who had supplied them with rotten pork and shoddy garments? Were the “ boys in blue ” after all nothing but a set of malignant “copperheads?" They would have no affiliation with such miscreants, and the fifteen or twenty “ loyal ” fellows, who sought to make a little capital for themselves and their candidate by manipulating the Convention, withdrew in disgust, but hat in hand, and with all the dignity of Tobmhs, Slidell and Wigfall, when they seceded from the Senate of the United States, it was the secession of the “ boys in black ” from the "boys in blue.” Their withdrawal created considerable merriment among the sol diers; but the Convention proceeded with its business, totally nnconscious of the'vast amount of respectability, loy alty, intelligence and virtue which had withdrawn from its deliberations. Tills Convention sealed the fate of Gen. John W. Geary. Repudiated by the soldiers of his own county —by the men who ure ills neighbors and who know him—by those who know exact ly the value of the services be rendered bis eount/y during the war—with what assurance call lie ask the support of the soldiers of Pennsylvania? His quack military reputation has been swept away by the indignant scorn of the fighting soldiers of Cumberland county—the brave boys, many of whom followed the Stars anil Stripes through every battle field from Gaiusville to Petersburg. He is literally more defunct than a “dead duck." Tlie soldiers meant this as no idle declaration, nor did they merely intend to pay Hiester Clymer an empty minplimcnt. They are organizing for .lie campaign; a standing committee nis been appointed and clubs are to lie started everywhere; and among tlie soldiers of Cumberland county alone an overwhelming majority will he rolled up against the Stevens- Forney disunion candidate for Governor. An effort will doubtless be madeto make it appear that this was a “copperhead” Convention ; but we heard soldiers, who took part in it and remained in it to the last, declare that they had never voted a Democratic ticket in their lives, but that they could not and would not support John tV. Geary on a disunion, negro equality platform. Moreover it was call ed by the republican leaders, its prelim inary organization was exclusively Re- publican, and its purpose was to advance tlie interests of the Republican party. If tlie Abolition managers were beaten at their own game, they have none but themselves to blame. We have simply followed their advice during tlie indig nities and persecutions of the last five years, and patiently “waited until the soldiers came home.” last Hours of General Scott. Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. Roe’s House, West Point, May 2f), l.SOli.—Lieutenant General Winfield Scott died at his house to-day at five minutes past 11. He departed peace fully. No struggle indicated the pas sage of the old hero’s soul from its earthly tenement. Although hisdemise was anticipated yet his death was com paratively sudden. Upon his arrival here on tlie evening of the 10th lußt., by special boat from New York, it was o bserved that he was very feeble. Upon descending from the carriage he tottered a little and had to pause upon every step as he mounted to the hotel. After a few days, however, he rallied consid erably, and as late as Saturday, at half past two, was out to the library and the village riding. The same day he wrote some letters to friends ; but a few days beiore lie requested Gen, Galium, com mandant of tlie post, to' indite a letter lor him, which he franked himself, though m an almost illegible hand. He appeared to suffer from no specific ailment, but rather a general decline of physical strength. His mind was clear in ths last. So little expectation was there of his immediate demise that his daughter Mrs. Hoyt, of New York, who had been staying with him for some days, left there for home yesterday. Last: night the General was taken with a chill, and the assistant surgeon of the post, Dr. Marsh, was immediately sum moned. Even then there appeared to be no danger, and at nine o’clock this morning Dr. Marsh assured General (Jollum that he had no apprehension of immediate dissolution : but in a short time it became evident that the event- ful and useful life of the patriot soldier was drawing to a close. The chaplain, Rev. J. A. French, was called in and taking the General’shand recited a prayer. Though quite con scious and cognizant tnat death was upon him the power ofspeech wasgone, but the dying soldier pressed the hand of the clergyman and bowed his head repeatedly in token of his consciousness of the last of the solemn rites which Mr. French was performing'according to the rules of the Hpiscopal church. At precisely jiveminutesafter eleven, quietly as if aslumber, tliepatriotwhose life has been so intimately associated witli'the military history of his country, passed away. There were present with him at the last moment General G. AV. Callum, Commandant of West Point, and for many years Aid to General Scott; Sur geon Head, Assistant Surgeon Marsh, Chaplain French, and the General’s faithful body servant. General Callum immediately telegraphed to Mrs. Hoyt, who arrived here at five o’clock this afternoon. At the desire of the deceased General’s daughter, Mrs. Hoyt—audit is thought the old hero himself had the same wish —the remains will be interred in the West Point Cemetery. General Scott had only been confined to bed for the last three days, but during that time his strength was gradually failing and he seemed to have a presen timent that this was his last visit to West Point, in which institution he took an intense interest and at which he spent every summer for the lust forty years. When coming from the boat on the 10th of May, he remarked to a friend that he had come to the old academy to die, and in conversation with Captain Boynton a few days ago, he replied to some remark concerning his visit to West Point that he came there to be burled. It seems appropriate that the great military academy of the nation should be the dying place of the nation’s oldest soldier. The funeral will take place at one o'clock on Friday, with such military pomp as the post can afford. It Is ex pected, however, that there will be a large accession of ominent personages from Washington and elsewhere. The last words of General Scott are worth remembering. About twenty five minutes before his death he ad dressed his hostler, Allen, saying: " James, how is the horse?” "He is well, General.” “Take care of him, James,” said the dying hero, and these were the last intelligible words he ut tered. In less than half an hour all was over, and General Scott had become im mortal. The following instructive fact Btated by Mr. Lawrence, author of Chiy Liv ingstone, in hiß recently published novel, Sans Merci, must, it is believed, be use ful to a class of whist-players, for whom, without reformation, the fate of "eleven thousand Englishmen” is reserved : “It has been computed," he said very slowly, “that eleven thousand English men, heirs to fair fortunes, are wander ing about the continent in a state of utter destitution because they would not lead trumps with five and an honor in tbelr hands.” The Poor House and Hospital.— Wo this morning visited tlie Poor House and Hospital belonging to the county of Lan-' caster, and were conducted through the different departments. The Poor House is separate from the Hospital and 1b built of stone. There Is a sitting room for old de creptd women, who also have a dormitory to themselves. Three rooms are appor tioned offfor the use of women and children, in one of which rooms we saw a poor little blind infant, the offspring of Peters, who was sentenced at the last Court for the murder of his wife at Reamstown. The men have a sitting room and two dormi tories, one being for old men only. There aro separate dining rooms for male and female inmates. All the rooms are patterns of neatness and cleanli ness, and are comfortably fitted up. The food that is allowed to the inmates is of the best description, and they are allowed as much os they can eat. They have bread and coffee for breakfast, soup, bread, meat and potatoes for dinner, and bread and cof fee for supper; the men w*ho work have also meat morning and evening. The in- mates rise at five o’clock in the morning, and the doors are locked at 9 p. m., the meal hours being 6 a. m., 12 m., and 6 p. in. Attached to the poor house is a bake house, whero all tho bread for both institutions is made by an experienced baker, who is em ployed for that purpose. Tho consump tion of flour is aJ>out nine barrels per week at this season of the year, but exceeds that during the winter months. One or two of the inmates aro usually employed as car penters, doing what repairing and fixing is requisite about tho building and outhouses, and making coffins. The able bodied men who can work are employed in the garden and upon the farm. The present number of inmates is about OS males, 47 females, in all 114, which includes children. No colored persons uro allowed in this institution. Mr. Samuel Splelman is tho House Steward and has the supervision of the farm, which con sists of 207 acres of land, all uuuer cultiva- tion, with the exception of broken land made by the Conestoga winding through n portion of it, and places whero thoro are quarries and sand holes. They raise sufficient veg etables and corn for tho consumption of both institutions, but not sufficient wheat to find them in flour. The Hospital is a brick building on the East of the Poor House and is divided into apartments suitable for the accommodation of tho different classes of inmates. There is a room for superannuated women, some of whom are bedridden, blind, unablo to walk, and one we noticed who is a mute and partially idiotic. The other apartments in this part of tho building aro for 3'oungor women. The convalescent women have to cook the food for and wait upon the others. The men’s department is similarly divided off to the women’s, only there are 8 in a room in the men’s and only 7 in the wo men’s. Amongst tho aged und deerepid old men there is one George Carrel, who is quite blind; lie served thirteen years in the Army of Napoleon the First, and was with him during his disastrous Russian campaign, lie also fought at the battle of Copenhagen, whero Lord Nelson had com mand of tho English fleet. In this depart ment there aro also some few who are par- tially lunatics, but who are allowed to go where they please during tho daytime. One of these unfortunate beings informed us that he owned §lB,OOO in gold, and he also was the rightful owner of the Book of Genesis, that he shortly intended to pay his debts and would not allow them to sell his shirt off his back. This class of inmates arc locked in cells at night time, in case of any danger. In the upper part of this building some few young convalescent women aro employed making up garments, there are also two shoemakers at work there. The dining rooms and kitchens are iu the basement. The food is cooked by steam and the rations iu this institution are simi lar to those in the Poor house. The wash house is a short distance from tho main building and is fitted up with every con venience requisite for tho work to be per formed there. In the basement there are also two rooms for colored people, one for males and the other for females, and also a number of cells for lunatics who aro allow ed to walk in an enclosed yard during tho day-time. All the floors in this building are scrubbed every morning, and men aro constantly employed in whitewashing the rooms. No building could possibly be kept cleaner, and everything is done l'or tho conduccment of health. The Doctor, who has a well fitted-up surgery in tho building, visits twice a week and at other times whenever called upon by the Super intendent. The number of inmates in the Ilospitul nt tlie last meeting of the direc tors was 112, which number includes 47 males, adults, 47 females, adults, tho bal ance being children, of this number there uro 13 male and 14 lemalo lunatics. At tho North end of the present building a cellar or basement of a now* Hospital is now being dug. Itjwill bo 125 feet in length by 30 feet in breath, and is to be built of brick, threo stories high, including base ment. It will bo fitted up w r ith cells for lu natics and rooms for tho sick, with all mod ern improvements. We should, however, have preferred that the new building b erected on moro elevated ground, and at greater distance from tho present institu tions, and used for lunatics only. Mr. J. O. Steinlieiser, the Superintendent of tho Hospital and Clerk to tho Board of Directors evidently spares no pains to alle viate the suffering of those)under his charge and appears to have tho confidence of that pitiable class, tho lunatics. The Jail.— This forenoon wo puid a visit to our County Juil, and immediately upon entering were struck with tko scrupulously neat and clean appenrnneo of everything 'around us. Mr. J. L. lloffmeier the clerk, introduced us to Mr. 1 Lonry Slmbert one of the under-keepers, who showed us around the building and premises. At the present time there are 02 prisoners in the jail, 7 ol wjioni are females. There are 2 colored women and 0 colored men included in that number. The convicts are .employed at various trades and occupations. There are S carpet weavers, 5 Shoemakers, 5 Basket makers, 1 Bug weaver and 1 Cigar maker, besides cooks, bakers, etc. The articles manufactured by tho convicts are sold, and in the course of twelve months realize a very considerable sum. Wo understand thut many citizens furnish tho yarn and rags for carpets and have them woven by tho prisoners, paying by the yard for tho weaving. Tho fact of the convicts being kept at profitable labor very much lessens tho county taxes, besides having a salutary effect upon tho laborers. Amongst tho prisoners is a horso thief waiting for trial, and a deserter from tho army. In one of the cells on the second tier is a demented colored man nearly 60 years of age, who has been sent there for safe keeping. lie calls himself Jim Crow, and having procured n quantity of carpet rags, has twisted them into various shapes and designs with which be decorates him self, and upon being visited by any one, will indulge In a song and break-down dance, and it is astonishing how supple he is lor one so old. He lias n)so manufac tured Hovurnl rug dolls, which bo uses us sentries at the door of his cel!. Wo havo visited many Julls, both oast and west of this, but must assert that wo havo novor soon ono whore cleanliness is so well observed and where there is such on absence of that stilling, nauseating atmos phere so common in such institutions, equnl to the Lancaster juil. Persons desiring to invest money in a good enterprise, should take tho trouble to examine into the Monte Christo Gold and Silver Mining Company. Tho plan of or ganization prevents the possibility of a loss, and insures a dividend of not less than twenty-five per cent, on the money, with the prospect of nearly double. We chal lenge the closest examination. Orders for this stock may bo left with Messrs. Bair & Clarkson, of tliis city. The Household Mabket.— The market was abundantly supplied this morning, and there was a large attendance of buyers and sellers. Prime Butter sold at from 20 to 25c; Eggs 20 to 22c; choice cuts of Beef and Mutton, 20c; Green Peas, 800 per peck; Strawberries, 50c: Currants,loc; Goose berries, 10c; Rhubarb, 10c; Asparagus, 5@ 10c, and other articles in like proportion. The Fish market was also plentifully supplied, with prices unchanged. Cotton Mill No. 3.—Yesterday after noon we visited Conestoga Steam Cotton Mill No. 3, and ware shown through the different departments by Hr. Henry Car penter, one of the proprietors. The Room Is fitted up with a double engine of two hundred and fifty horse power, having horizontal cylinders. It is of N.T. Green’s patent, and was built hy Thurston, Gardner & Co., of Providence, R. 1., the pattern being made and the engine completed and ready to run in four weeks from the date of the order being given. Green’s patent con sists in an improved valve and cut off. In one room there are two sets of Boilers, one set consisting of six plain cylinder boilers, 30 feet long and 30 inches in diameter, and one furnace boQer with flues, 60 inches in diameter and 24 feet /long; these are only used in case of accident to those iu constant use or when they may require cleaning. Tho&e which are in daily use consist of five tubular boilers 4 feet in di ameter, 18 feet long, and each containing Si three inch tubes. About four tons of common anthracite coal is consumed daily, The cotton house is a long brick fire proof building, 40 feet by 100 feet, and is used for storing away the raw material in hales. The willow room is the first place to which the raw material is taken, where it is sorted and passed through a willow machine, which cleanses it and blows it free from dust through a tube into the picking room, where it is taken as required, and pass ed through a second cleansing machine, formed into rolls, and passed into the carding room. In this department there are sixty-nine carding machines in opera- tion. The rolls are carried off from the carding machines on the speeder, where they are reduced down to a fine degree and spooled, preparatory to being taken to the mule or splning room. The departments that we havoi already noticed are on the first floor of tho building. On tho the third floor is tho mule or spinning room, where tho cotton is spun aud wound on the bob bins und then transferred to the dressing room. This room is 250 feet long by GO wide, quite free from pillars, und contains 22 mules on each of which are 512 spindles, making in all 10,240. These are attended by young boys und girls, who tie up the yarn in case of a broak, remove tho bobbins when full, etc. The attic above is used as an additional spinniug room, and contains one pair of mules, with 1024 spindles, and four spinning frames, with 512 spindles. The bobbins are transferred to the dressing room on the first iloor, where the yarn is dressed, the warp wound upon large beams and the filling spooled and then taken t° the weaving room on tho second floor, where it is woven into cloth for the printing of calicoes. The weaving room is of the sumo dimensions as the mule room, and is fled up with 280 looms, which are attended by both males und loinales, each of whom take charge of from two to six, according to their experience and skill. About forty yards of cloth per day is turned off each loom. The cloth after being taken ott is transferred to tho cloth room on the first floor, where it is brushed, measured and folded by machinery and put lip into bales, each bale being marked with tho number of yards, numbered and registered. Tho machinery used in pflfs extensive Factory is of the most improved pattern and has been erected at an cuormous out lay. There are nearly three hundred hands employed, and the wages puid monthly average about §.5000, which amount is brought from abroad and circulated amongst our Lancaster merchants, hence the bene fit to our city of such enterpises as we have described. Tho name or stylo the firm who own this extensive concern is Messrs. Sheuk» Bailsman, Carpenter A Co., tho individual members of the firm being Benjamin F. Shenk, Jacob Bausmau, Dr. John L. Atlee, Sr., Thomas Baumgardner and Dr. Henry Carpenter. This firm also own Mill No. 4 which is being fitted up in similar style to No. 3. It has a single horizontal cylinder one hun dred horse power engine, and will run 80 looms in the weaving room. It is calculated that this mill turn out about two-fifths as much cloth as No. 3. The firm expect to have it in full operaiion in tho courso of a few weeks. Thk Gas Works.—Tlie works from which tlu» giiH used in this city is supplied were organized in 1549 and were at first started for the manufacture of gas from Rosin which proving to bo too expensive a pro cess, it was found expedient tochango them into coal gas works. Tlie coal which is at present used is of a bituminous nature and procured in the neighborhood of Pittsburg, in the Youghioghenny Valley, and is gen erally conceded to be the best gas producing coal in this State. In tho retort house there are seven benches each containing three retorts, but at the present time they are only using two of the benches. When the gus is generated in tho retorts it is conveyed to the purifying room, which contains four purifiers packed with lime, through which the gas passes and is then conveyed to the metres and from thence, after being meas ured, to the large iron tanks or reservoirs commonly called gasometers. Of the gas ometers there are *tvo, a very large one capable of holding 45,000 cubic feet of gas, the other will hold but 20,000 cubic feet, from these tanks - the gas is conveyed through tho main pipes into the service pipes. The lime which is used to purify the gas is burned upon the premises from oyster shells, for the purpose of doing which, the dust from the coke is used. The coke that is taken from the retorts is sold at 10 cents per bushel on the premises and there is a great demand for it. Not so howeve r with the gas tar, for which there does not appear to be any market in this city. If some enterprising citizen would .start a lamp black fnctory here, we think he could do well with it. There ure at present about 11 ,(H)0 feet of main pipe laid down in the city, and the streets are lighted with about 107 burners. The company, at the present season of the year manufacture from 22,000 to 25,000 cubic feet of gas per day, but in the winter mouths they reach as high as 00,000 feet and upwards. These works belong to a chartered stock company, tho shares being originally worth $25, but they are now selling at about 830 or $Bl and are paying n semi-annual dividend of from Si to $1.25 per share. Tho Board of Directors are Messrs. C. Hager, Jacobßausman, James L. Reynolds, Luther Richards, Hon. H. G. Long, and Drs. J. L. Atlee and H. Carpenter. C. Hager, Esq., is the President; James L. Reynolds, Esq., the Secretary, and George K. Reed, Esq., tho Treasurer. Mr. Hugh Corcoran is the Superintendent of the works. Horse Stealino. -On Saturday morning Mr. John Murphy, '.of the firm of Leman, Murphy A Co., Livery Stable keepors of this : city, received a telegram from Mr. Hugh Tower, Livery Stable keeper of Harrisburg, stating that a bay mare and open top bug gy, giving an accurate description of both, were stolon from him yesterday. Mr. Mur phy immediately proceeded to the several stables in this city, and found a buggy an swering tho desciiption In Mr. William Ray’s yard, and upon inquiry was Informod that tho man who had loft the buggy there had sold to Mr. George IlartmaH n mare for $lOO, but had not yet been paid for her. By some means tho object of Mr. Murphy’s Inquiries leaked out, and the thief hearing thereof, cleared out without calling on Mr. Hartman for tho price of tho mare. Finding, that tho scamp had got wind that his robbery was known here, Mr. Murphy proceeded to the depot in order to search through tho Philadelphia train due bore at 9.10 A. M., but it had just left when ho reached there. He then telegraphed to Mr. Zook, the conductorof the train, to Parkes burg, a description of the thief, and in an swer received word that he was on the train and tolling Mr. M. to follow on the fast lino, which had already passed this city.

Important Court Proceedings— ln the Court of Common Pleas— Before Hon 11. G. Long. Jacob G. Oldweiler, plaintiff, vs. The School Directors of West Donegal township. This was an action originally commenced by petition for a mandamus to compel the School Directors of the township of West Donegal, to levy and ussess n tax to reim burse certain'^citizens of said township, who had subscribed and paid their money to ruise bounties for volunteers who had been mustered into the service of the United States, under the late calls of the President and credited to the said township. The Petitioner alleged that he and others had subscribed and paid the said money for tho purposo aforesaid, wilh an under standing or agreement, that if a certain bill then pending before the Legislature should Income a law, that the said money would be refunded. The bill referredjto subsequent ly became a law. The Court instead of passing upon the petition, answer and de positions, directed an issue to ascertain tho facts. The understanding or agreement was not made with tho corporate authorities, but was made and had at a meeting held in the school house in tho said township on tho loth day of February, 1864, which meet ing was composed of tax-payers of said township, two previous meetings having been held on the 9th and 11th of February respectively, and presided over by thosame officers. Various propositions were sug gested at tbe first two meetings to raise money for thepurpose of avoiding thedraft, which had utterly failed, when on the evening of the loth this new plan was pro posed, adopted by the meeting as the plain tiff alleged, and proved successful in raising tho amount required. Tho defendants denied that thero wus such anjagreeuicnl or understanding, and that fact was therefore determined by the jury upon the ovidenco submitted on both sides. 'The Jury found the main and important icts in favor of tho Plaintiff. The facts having been determined upon, the next move will be for a mandamus to compel tbe School Directors to levy the tax for tho payment of said bounties. The amount subscribed aud paid by the Plain tiffs and others being between $O,OOO and $7,000. This is a very important case, ns it is the first that has been tested under the Bounty Act of IXO4. 1 A. Herr .Smith, Esq., was counsel for the Plaintiff, and X. Ellraaker, Esq., for the defendants. Daniel Kline, plaintiff, vs. The Columbia and Reading Railroad Company, Defend ants. This was an action for the recovery of damages for injury done by the Defend ants in constructing their railroad over the land of the plaintiff. It appeared from the evidence that the said road runs within 250 feet of the plaintiff’s barn, making an em bankment often and u half feet and closing plaintiff’s lane that led from the barn yard to his fields, and cutting the field through which it passes, into angles, and making it exceedingly inconvenient of access to the same. The farm contains about 83, acres, about 20 of which with all the improve ments, by the manner in which the road cuts it, are thrown on one side and the bal ance on the other side of the road. The true measure of damages would therefore be the difference between the value of the whole tract unaffected by the Railroad, and as affected by the Railroad. The caso had been cast upon by six viewers, who were appointed by an order of court, and who found $2OOO damages An appeal wus then taken and the coraj pany having made un affidavit that they could not get an impartial trial in this county, tho same was removed to York county. After three unsuccessful efforts to try tho caso in the said county, the records were returned to Lancaster, and a special jury were struck, on the application of the defendants, who viewed the premises. The jury were instructed by the court that it was a question of fact for them to pass upon; and the court further added that the jury were not to take into consideration any fanciful or fictitious damages about the dangers of tire, etc., nor considor the absence of bridges and crossings. Upon deliberation the jury found a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Damages $-1,14:1. A. Herr Smith and William R. Wilson, Ksqs., were counsel for the plaintiff, and H. M. North and George F. llreneman, Esqs., for tho defendants. Lancaster Horse Market, Monday, June 4tit, 18GG.—The Horse Market lias not been quite as brisk as for several weeks previous.

Tho tables are arrayed around the hall and in the centre there is an enclosed space for furniture and other heavy goods and also for a refreshment table. On the right and left of the QDtrance are several tables and benches screened from the public gaze by tbe stars and stripes, where little private parties can set and enjoy their ico crcain and other refreshments, and have a good time by themselves. Wo visited all the tables, and as we do not desire to create jealousy or rivalry amongst tho ladies, who have taken so much trouble in furnishing them and all of whom are so ably presiding at them, we shall merely give a list of a few articles on each table, selecting such as appeared to us to be tbe most worthy of noto.

Miss Louisa KerfooCs Refreshment Table , iu the centre of which was a fine decker pyramid frosted cake, was so loaded with cakes, sweet meats, catawba wine, Ac., that wo really thought she would require a spe cial committee of gentlemen to keep off tho purchasers. The table at which tho Lemonade was served was presided over by a gentleman. On this table'was the water cooler which we have before noticed ns being on exhibi tion at Mr. Flinn’s store. At either end of tho room is a telegraph ing instrument, and messuges are trans mitted and conversations held between friends who are stationed so far apart. The attendance lost evening was very large, and it has seldom been our good for tune to see such an array of beauty at one assemblage, as we then witnessed. Wo also could not help remarking that the simplic ity of dress of many of the ladies seemed to add charms to those who wero already beautiful. The initiation of tho fair was certaiuly a success, as we are informed by tho Treas urer that the receipts exceeded $5OO. We trust our good citizens will extend a ver A liberal patronage to this fair, as its object is one in which all are interested. Tho ladies who have taken an active part in getting it up have certainly dotie their share, it is now only necessary for the gentlemen to loosen their purse strings and do their part.

David Evans, County Superintondant, Colorado.—An idea of the vala'oofsome claims (100 feet each), in this district, may be formed when the fact is considered, that it.often occurs that they yield millions of dollars, and have in several instances been sold for $25,000 per foot. Mr. Melds, from 33$ feet of the Bobtail Lode has taken out already over $200,000 in gold, and $200,000 has been offered and refused for 331 feet of this same lode, equal to $BOO,OOO for a claim of 100 feet. Geo. Miller & Sons, 610 Markot street, Philadelphia, manufacturers of Candies, Fruits, Nuts, and other goods in the confec tionary line, invite orders from country dealers. All orders, large or small, will promptly tilled. The opinion entertained by those abroad of claims In this district, is shown by the foilowing: “English capitalists have purchased £6OO - of the Colorado mining lands, and their agents and employees are now en route to develop the same. The claims are princi pally in Russell and Trail districts, and a recent purchase has been the Seaton Lode of 1,000 feet, for which thoy paid £IOO,DOO. 1 ' Lancaster Grain Market, Monday, Juno 4th, 1868: Family flour, bar..
