Viglnla* But, butl—but what my friend ? Out with it. Virginia does not permit negrqes to vote. Neither does Ohio, nor Indianainor Illinois, nor lowa, nor wis consln, nor Pennsylvania, nor nor New Jersey, nor Connecticut, nor New Hampshire, nor New York, nor California, nor Oregon, nor Colorado; and if this is a reason, why we do not those States exclude? THE STATES ARE EQUAL, It is a fundamental maxim that the States in the Union are equal—not equal in terri tory, or wealth, or numbers, but equal in duties, in rights, |in powers. Thev were sovereigns, and a? such were equal before the Union. They eaoh, as sovereign, came into the Union. They delegated the same powers; they agreed to perform the same duties. They guaranteed each to the other the enjoyment of the same rights. Repre sentation is the most important right. Ohio enjoys it, why not Virginia ? TbeSoulhern States are in the Union or they are out of it. If they are in the Union, they are equal to Ohio, and entitled to representation. If they are out of the Union, the gov ern them at all is a fraud and a usurpation. (Cheers.) They entered the Union bypass ing an ordnance adopting and ratifying the Federal Constitution. They tried to dissolve that connection by abrogating thal ratifica tion. The abrogating ordinance was the act of secession. Either it was valid, or it was invalid. If invalid, it was null, it had no effect* it did not affect the State; it did not affect'the tie which bound it to the Union., It left the State in the same position in which it had been for a month, for a year, before the iict of secession. If it was valid, it destroyed the Union and removed the State beyond the Constitution, beyond your power. I reject the claim that these ordi nances are valid for one purpose, invalid for another—valid to destroy the State, in valid to dissever the federal tie. It is the fanciful creation of a disordered brain, or the arbitrary diction of a man who will have things as he wishes them. THE RADICAL POSITION. I understand the position of Mr. Stevens and those who follow him. He believes that either the ordinance of secession or the attempt to enforce it by arms, consti tuted the South in effect a foreign power— alien enemies; that we had good cause of war against them, and did in fact wage the war for subjugation and eonquesl; thut having subjugated and conquered them, wo hold them subject to our will; thut so far as they are concerned their rights and our powers are determined by the laws of nations alone, and no question ot the Con stitution can be raised except by the ad hering States. I understand the position of Mr. Johnson and the war Democrats. They hold thut the ordinances of secession •wore invalid; thut whoever attempted by force of arms to rnuke them available were traitors; thut their unlawful acts do not affect the statutes of the State, or of its law abiding people; thutthey may be punished, but thut the State remains the same. (Cheers.) But I cannot understand the thimble-rig logic of these half-way gentle men, ihul the ordinances of secession are half-valid, half-invalid; that the States are in the Union to be governed, out of it to bo protected; in the Union when duties are required, out of it when rights ure to be ac corded ;in the Union when taxes are exacted, out of it when representation is demanded. Why should they not be represented? This representation is essential to the restoration of the Union. Why was the war prosecu ted? For the maintenance of the Union. Love of the Union was the sentiment which lay at the very heart of our people. It had grown and strengthened f aud become fixed by the attempts at disunion of the Hartford Convention and the nullification of South Carolina. It was this that made strong men volunteer, andjmatrous and maidens and wives to consent that son and husband aud lover should volunteer. It was this that /nade the North yield armed men as if from h.irsoil. Mr. Lincoln, in his inaugural and message, told us the war was for the Uni.™ , Congress, in the most solemn form, reiterated it. Mr. Seward, after fwo years of war told us that the seats of Senators and me mbors were vacant, and their open arms u’ith silent eloquence, invited the States an d the people to return to the bless- ! ings and duties of the Constitution. Your arms huve beeu successful; not an armed enemy withstands you; they ask admit tance to their seats. Why is not the Union restored ? Wby do those who have clamor ed for Union refuse it? Why do those who have urged others to fight for Union pre vent it? DISHONESTY OF THE RADICALS. Gentlemen: It is because they deceived you and their friends. They never were for the Union. Thaddeus Stevens was honest enough to say so. He said in my hearing that with his consent the Union never should be restored. These men hate the Constitution of the United States. They hate our form of government; aud they know the most effective stab they could give iu—the most fatal blow—would be the attempt to goyern one-half of the country without representation. V v I speak of men whom I know; men with whom I had served in public life. Ido not impeach their intelligence, or patriotism, or sincerity ; but I repeat, I believe they hate our Constitution, and desire its overthrow. They believe consolidation is better than confederation. They prefer to trust their liberties and the liberties of the race to an overpowering irresponsible majority rather than to one orderly process established under the checks and balances of our sys tem- (Cheers). THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Consider the constitutional amendment. Congress insisted upon its adoption as a condition precedent to the admission oi Sen ators and Representatives. If it were en tirely desirable; if nobody objectedor could object to any of its provisions, still it ought not to be proposed. If the States are enti tled to representation, the adoption of this .amendment ought not to be exacted. If they are not entitled, its adoption will not •confer it. Jf they are entitled, the refusal of the right is the highwayman’s course, who seizes you by the throat and agrees to release his hold if you will givo him your purse. In vain you assert that you are on titled to both your freedom and your money. You buy one admitted right by the surren der of another. If they are not entitled, itho proposal to confer it is the device of the •devil, who eagerly offered the kingdoms of the world ana the glory thereof, which he didn’t possess, if only his black majesty could be worshipped. But what is this amendment? livery person born within the United States shall be r citizens thereof and of the State wherein he resides. Citizens of the State! that the Constitution left to each fcitate; so entirely left it there that voters by the luw of the State were expressly made electors for federal officers. No State shall impair the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States. What are these privileges and immunities? Where are they denned? Where written? The Constitution has already put each citizen of each State upon the same/ooUn" as citizens of the several States. Representation shall bo apportioned ac cording to population, but if any male per sons over twenty-one years of age shall be 1 excluded from the ballot-box, the represen tative basis shall be diminished by these in proportion as the males .excluded bear to all the males of twenty-one years in this Stale. The tormer proposition was to ex clude from the basis all of uny race or color, if by reason of race or color they were ex cluded from the right of suffrage. That could not stand a moment. By it the Stutes might exclude the young, the old, the poor, the ignorant, the soldier; and if they were only while, the other electors might vote for them ; but if they excluded the negro, his whole race was to be excluded from the representative basis. How much better is this amendment! All the people are to be enumerated, all the males over twenty-one years are to be enumerated also. If the males are as ten to one—und any male is excluded from the right of voting, then ten ? arsons shall be stricken from the basis. fin Pennsylvania lunatics were not al lowed to vote, then ten persons for every lunatic would go unrepresented. If in Pennsylvania there were ten thousand ne gro men over twenty-one years of age, then •100,000 men, women and children, white as well as black, would be without represen tation. I say nothing of its operation on Ihe Southern States; will you here be will ing to adopt it? But the cunning of its au thors is apparent here, for by this scheme New England gets two members of Con gress, while the other Northern and Western .States lose .twelve.; more than they would by the other man. Nor is it really an hon est scheme to secure to the negro the right ■of voting, for this and every other plan sug gested contemplates that the States may •exclude him from the ballot, provided only they will agree to give up the political power -which control him in the basis given to them. NoJ gentlemen., the only object of thisamendment is to show to the States that they hold even the right of suffrage by the will and at the command of the Federal Government, and thus to bring their most vital rights entirely within its control. THE FKEBDAIEN’S BUREAU. Consider the Freedmen’s Bureau bill. Its object was not to protect the negro j that was done by the old law. If it expired; too soon a line might extend il; if power were laoking here or there a section would suf fice. The object of the bill is explained by the eighth and ninth sections. They pro vide that to every case affecting the negro thePresideut shall extend military juris diction and protection; and that if a State •officer shall enforce any law, custom or nolice regulation discriminating between a jiQgro and white man, in the enjoyment of •civil rights, he may be tried and punished. .by .any officer of the bureau—all cases , i .whether civil or criminal, whether to pun »ish for crime or to entorce a contract, whether between two negroes or between a meero i inrl a whiteinan —military jurisdic . turn and protection ! What is that ? Martial daw ana .a-drumhead court-martial. The fConstitution provides that no man, negro -or white mau shall be arrested without a •warrant, held .without an indictment, tried without ajury;.he .shall have a speedy and mnbiic trial, .have hWhae 1 .and witnesses, Snd he confronted with witnesses against .him. yet this law proposes to do away artth all these safeguard®, .fthh substitute .the short, sharp' processes of military courts, where there.is. po ipdictmept, no iurv. and no .counsel or witnesses for the prisoner, except by the grace and favor of the court. .C»o any plan brieve this law was intended rather to benefit the negro ? if to it not intended rather 0 bring every citizen of the United States,and ©very State of the Union to the foot of the federal mili tary authority, as administered by the most ignorant and degraded servant of the bureau 'who could be hired at five hundred dollars a ; year. (Cheers.) Consider the civil rights bill; it provides, that all citizens shall be entitled to the same civil rights, and be punished for offenoes with the same mea sure of penalty. Suppose in any State, the reason of his inferior intellect, is punished less severely than the white man, can Congress by this law increase punish ment? Can Congress increase the pen alty? If it can in the case of the negro, so can it also diminish. If it can increase, or diminish, it can create a new and different punishment, or it can abolish all punish ment; and thus mav establish within the State and without its consent, an entire criminal code, and thus bring all thecitizens within the control of federal power; and this was the main object of the bill. OTHER RADICAL MEASURES. And so the Educational Bureau£bill and the Insurance Bureau bill, and the Kail road law have under various guises and pretences but the single pnrpose of break ing down State authority and transferring all the affairs of common life ,lo the super vision of the federal government. And thus on the ruins of our system of confed eration will be built a strong centralized government in whose splendor and power the liberties of the citizen, now so well pro tected, will be swallowed up. PAST AND PRESENT POLICY OP RADICAL As I rode from Boston last night I passed through Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con necticut, New York and Pennsylvania. I could not help remembering their history. Massachusetts was so jealous of federal power that she, first of all the States, asked for an amendment to the Constitution de claring that all powers not expressly granted were reserved, lest there should be an undue activity in the administration. Rhode Island would not enter the Union for a j’ear after Washington’s inauguration, lest the powers of the federal government might be used to the injury of her commer cial and shipping interest. New York ex pressly declared its opinion of the right of secession. What a contrast now! How strongly and constantly do thoseStatea now insiston the process of centralization. Penn sylvania alone, simply ratified the Consti tution. By her fidelity to the common weal, by her promptness, by her wisdom and moderation, os well as by her geographical position, she acquired the title of the Key stone State. AN APPEAL TO PENNSYLVANIA. Men of Pennsylvania, be faithful to-day to your ancient history. Your State has enjoyed a rare felicity. Her valleys und pluins are teeming with wealth; her moun tains are swollen with coal and iron, and other minerals ; her cities stagger beneath the load of accumulated capital. They all need peace, order, stability of government and of‘legislation for their proper develop ment. Her population is crowded, and in dustrious, and liberty loving. They need contentment and leisure to pursue their own business. Her limits contain Carpen ter’s Hall and Independence Hall. Her soil was the birth-place of the Declaration, and is sanctified by Brandywine aud German town, and Valley Forge, hallowed by the heroism which endureti defeat and suffer ing. In her midst the Constitution was formed, and the capitol, wus for many years, located. By these sacred momories, i conjure you to be true to your own great history. Be faithful to your principles, and deserve more glory for having in this dark hour preserved our system of free govern ment thun your futhers obtained for having through blood and suffering founded it. Mr. Pendleton retired amid loud and con tinued cheers. SPEECH OF HON. MONTGOMERY BLAIR. Mr. Blair spoke as follows : He stated that the only issue to be was, whether the country should continue to re main in a state of disunion in order that a political party might retain power, or whether the old Union, as established by our fathers, should be restored. It had been his misfortune to differ with the Demo cratic party, but it was composed of honest men whom ho always honored. They had presented the spectacle of fur nishing men and means to defend the Gov ernment, at thesametimethatGovernment was in the hands of their political adver saries, thus proving to some extent the in tense feeling of devotion to the country which over characterized them; this, too, when, as the speaker knew, he being a member of the Government, that the Gov erninentwas wielded in a most unscrupu lous and unjustifiable manner. It was not so with the Federalists in the war with Great Britain. The same party exists to day under Tbad. Stevens. Do they exhibit the same fidelity to the Government? Do they supply money and soldiers, as the Democracy did ? The Democracy supplied men and supplied us with leaders, with McClellan, with Grant, with Sherman, and Sheridan, and a host of other patriots, to lead the soldiers to triumph. No man who speaks the truth will arraign the Demo cratic party with wanting in patriotism and fidelity to the country. He repelled it with scorn, as he had done in his Cooper Institute speech. Now that the war is over we have a new question, and that is whether we are to have the Constitution and the Union we have been fighting for. The party in power, true to their interests, keep the country divided ; then he found the Democratic party standing for the Union, and he allied himself with the party, and was proud of the connection. The Democratic party must save the country from a new rebellion and a new war. The war that is to come will not be in the South, but in the North—in Pennsylva nia ; but in saying so he did not wish to be regarded as a sensation speaker, but he would proclaim the issue which the radi cals have made. They only held the power they possess by excluding the States which they themselves recognized as in the Union. They mean to keep these States out and govern the whole country by the majority in Congress. It really implies the minority over the majority, because the delegation from the South would unite with the Demo crats of the North and overwhelm this ma jority. If the election comes this fall in favor of the radicals, the first act will be to turn Andrew Johnson out of his seat. The speaker predicted that should the radicals carry the election in October, the result would be the establishment of two Presidents and two Congresses, for the radical re actional majority would then im peach President Johnson and turn him out, while on the other hand, the Democratic members of Congress would UDite with the regularly elected members from the South. He told this to some of the leading radicals in Washington, when one turned turned to him and said: “Yes, and we will have you just where we have Jeff. Davis now,” his eyes flashing angrily as he spoke it. This spirit, said Mr. Blair, is hurrying the country into a new rebellion, In which the battle fields will be among you. [A voice —“Let it come.”] Mr. Blair said no, he did not want to see it, but counsel your radical friends and let them see what this lust of dominion in their party is leading us to. llereyiewed the dootrineof secession, claim ing that, while not expressed in words, yet the sense ajpd meaning of the Constitution were adverse to it. The new frangled Constitution the radicals were putting upon the country was a coniriyance by which Southern negroes were to be equalized with the whites, or that a negro vote in South Carolina would balance a white man’s vote in Pennsylvania. Negro suffrage was an absurdity, and Jefferson had left it on re cord in his own hand writing that he never contemplated the intermingling of the races. It was mere political clap trap, nothing more. The radicals were afraid that if the South wus admitted, they -would vote with ihe Democracy, aud elect Grant President, or perhaps McClellan. [Great cheers.] There was not a-thief in the United Stutes who was not a radical. He also warned his hearers that they were on the eve of another civil war, the battle-fields of which would be in the North, while the South would re main a unit.- He disclaimed speaking lor any sensational purpose, but earnestly warned the people of the North against the evil effects of tampering with the funda mental laws of the land. The Atlantic Cable. The note of preparation to receive the Great Eastern and her attendant ships is already announced from Aspy Bay, Newfoundland, and there are confident predictions that by Friday next we wil hear tidings of the cable fleet. On July 6th, the shore end of the cable was landed in Ireland, and the paying out of that part began, and on the 9th, the date of the latest report, everything was going on well. On the 9th, all the ves sels were tQ finish coaling and proceed to sea—the splice was to be made with the deep sea cable, and on the 11th the fleet was to begin its important voyage towards America. There are n 0 later reports than the 9th, however, whilst we have news from Europe to noon of the 12th of July, three days afterwards, without any announcement .ofthespliee having been made or the voyage begun. The doubtful Btatein which thisabsence of news leaves the subject will, proba bly, however, be BoLved to-day, for the Scotia is due at New York to-day, with intelligence as late as noon of the 35th of July. It is to be hoped that the voyage of the Great pastern will not be marred by accidents, and that the announce ment can soon be made that the magic wire unites the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Mr. Greeley Defines HU Position, In answer to a letter addressed to him from Waukegan, Mr.Greely has written the following letter: Yes Sir:—l would bail Davis, or you, or any other culprit that the government would shamefully keep in jail more than a year, resisting and denying him his just and legal demand that he be arraigned and tried, or let go, truly, Horace Greeley, 1 Mr, J. Wilson* foy Waukegan. A Trip to Reading.— ln company with a number of esteemed friends we paid a visit to the beautiful city of Reading on Tuesday, partly for the purpose of participating in the great Mass Convention of Wednesday, and partly for pleasure and recreation. Nothing of interest occurred on the way over except the delightful shower of rain at Landisville, which cooled the atmosphere somewhat and made the weather at least hearable. We arrived at Reading at 6 o'clock, and hung up our hats at the famous Mansion House formerly kept by De Borbon, now by Behm, and at whose bar Harry Weaver, a well known Lancasterian, presides with much skill and affability. Our first visit to Reading was made eight years ago. On this our second visitjwe were astonished at the vast number of improve ments. Reading is certainly going ahead, and is becoming quite metropolitan in ap pearance. Its churches, public buildings, hotels and stores will compare favorably with those of the larger cities. There is no question about Reading being the prettiest city in Pennsylvania, and should it con tinue on in its present progressive spirit not man}’ years will elapse before it will be the rival of our largest manufacturing cities* So much for Reading, its beauty and pros perity. Yesterday morning, in company with several ladies and gentlemen, we paid a visit to the Mineral Springs and the White House, which are among the most pleasant and romantic of rural resorts. The view from the White House is oue of the grandest that we have ever witnessed, and worth of itself a trip to Reading. No wonder the people of Reading are so proud of their city and its surroundings. In accordance with our usual custom we paid our respects to the members of the Press, visiting the offices of the Gazette , Journal , Daily Times, Adler and Banner von Berks , and were cordially received by the proprietors. We cannot close this hastily written sketch of our trip to Reading without re turning our thanks to the Hon. HiesterCly mer,Daniel Ermentrout, Esq., and Mr. John Maltzberger, for their many courtesies and attentions. Their kindness will never be forgotten, but will remain a green spot in our memory while life lasts. The Funeral of Mrs, funeral of the wife of Rev Dr. Gerhart, President ofFranklin and Marshull College, took place from the residence of her hus band, corner of Lime and Orange streets, on Saturday. The religious services, which were peculiarly solemn, were conducted at the First Reformed Church. The funeraj was attended by the Faculty, Students and Board of Trustees of Franklin and Marshall College, and also by a large number of citi zens. The remains were interred at the Lancaster Cemetery. The deceased had been a resident of this city but a short time, but she had endeared herself to many of our people by her gentle and winning manners, generous disposition and many Christian virtues. Her death is lamented by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. “She has fought a good fight, she has kept the faith, and henceforth there is a crown of glory laid up for her.” May God comfort and solace the afliicted family in this their sad hour of affliction. A Large Shell dropped from one of the cars on a freight which was passing through Marietta last evening. It was fortunately discovered and removed by the switch-tender before another train came along, ora serious accident might have oc curred. Cattle Thieves. —On the 2d of July, twenty-two head of fat cattle were stolen from the premises of G. D. Coleman, in Elizabeth township, Lancaster county, and driven to Reading where they were sold next day to Mr. Potteiger for §1,530. Mr. C. valued the cattle at about §2,500. Suspicion rested upon three individuals residing in Lebanon county, and accord ingly, on Friday last, complaint was made before Mayor Sanderson, by Oliver Cald well, Ageut of Mr. Coleman, and a warrant issued to Officer Shantz, of Lebanon. On Saturduy afternoon he succeeded in arrest ing a young man named Jacob Y. Illig, in Lebanon, as one of the gang, and brought him to this city on Saturday night. He was up before the Mayor on yesterday morning, and acknowledged to having sold the cattle to Mr. Potteiger, but denied having assisted the Other two men implicated in stealing and driving them away from the premises of Mr. Coleman. In default of §4,000 bail he was committed to prison to await his trial. The officer is on the trail of the other two men, but up to this writing we have uo information of their arrest. Serious Accident.— On Saturday aiter noon last, a boy named William Shulty, aged about 15 years of age, fell out of the 4th story of one of the State Normal School Buildings at Millersville, and broke both his arms and a leg. He had got upon a table by the window, the sash of which had been taken outon account of the hot weather, and was attempting to reach some shelves, when the table tilted over, and he lost his balance and fell beadlongoutofthe window. Dr. S. T. Davis was immediately sent for and dressed the wounds. The boy, not- serious nature of his wounds, is doing well, and there is a fair prospect of his speedy recovery. His es cape from instant death is indeed miracu lous. Counterfeit Ten Dollar Notes.— For the benefit of the public we give the follow ing description of the new ten dollar coun terfeit note on the National Banks : “Figure of Liberty on an eagle upon right end, Franklin and boy on left. The signatures are engraved in the counterfeit, and in the genuine they are written. The lightning, grasped by the hand of Liberty, is barely perceptible in the genuine, while in the counterfeit it is broadly defined on a dark, coarse back ground, which in the genuine is light. The general appearance is fair, but is very coarse on examination. On the back of the note the followers of De Soto appear as if engaged in a terrible bat tle, and appear mixed up, while in the foreground, that which is designated for a priest, bears the exact image of a monkey These notes may be altered to represen any National bank.” Whisky and Newspapers.— An ex change paper in discussing the relative merits and estimated value of these two articles, says: A glass of whiskey is manu factured from perhaps a dozen grains of corn, the value of which is too small to be estimated. A glass of this mixture sells for a dime, and if of a good brand is well worth the money. It is drank in a minute or two. It fires the brain, sharpens the appetite, deranges and weakens the physi cal system. On the same side-board on which the deleterious beverage is served, lies a newspaper. It is covered with half a million of type—it brings intelligence from the four quarters of the globe. The news paper costs less than the glass of grog—the juice of a few grains of corn, but it is no less strange than true that there is a large number of people who think corn juice is cheap and newspapers dear. Tribute of Respect.— At a regular meet ing of Washington Lodge, No. 156, A. Y. M., held June 23, 1866, the following pre amble and resolutions were adopted : Whereas, The Almighty in his all-seeing wisdom has again entered ourmystieband, and taken to himself our beloved friend and brother, Thomas M. Barnes, thereby severing the tie that bound him to us, and Whereas, Our brother, during his brief career in life, by his gentlemanly deport ment, his Christian virtues, and by the deep interest he manifested in the prosperity of Free Masonry, has endeared himself to the Fraternity and the community, therefore Resolved, That in his early death we rec ognize the uncertainty of human life, and acknowledge it another warning to the liv ing that they too soon must pass away. Resolved. That we cheerfully bear testi tiißony to his great integrity as a Mason and his usefulness as a citizen. .Revived, That while we deeply regret and sympathize with the bereaved and af flicted family, we sincerely pray that thev in the hour of sorrow and grief may find in God that consolation which this world cannot give, Resolved, TM the Lodge room be hung with monrnmg for the space of 3 months and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and also that they be inserted in the Lancaster Intelligencer. J ames Gain, M. Glaokeu. J* M, Leaver, Religious.— Rev. W. V, Gotwald, Pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church, West Orange street, preached his introductory sermon yesterday (Sunday) morning. The words of his text were in St. Paul's Ist Epistle to the Corinthians* Ist chapter and 23d verse: “Bat we preach Christ crucified.” After referring with feelings of gratitude to his being called to so pleasant and important a charge, and at the same time to the heavy sense of fear of the responsibility which it brought upon him, he stated that his ser mon would be divided into two parts, viz. “ What to preach, and How to preach it.” — Self, or rather the glorifying of one’s self, should never be preached; the preaching up one’s own particular denomination or church to the disparagement of others; things purely secular or of a temporary character. In this connection he spoke of the preachers of New England denouncing fugitive slave bills and advocating prohibi tory liquor bills, and said that all this was wrong and degrading to the pulpit. The preaching of politics was also another of the secular matters which should not be done. At the same time he said it was the duty of every minister of the Gospel, and he would fearlessly perform it, to denounce the sins and corruptions of a political party or legislators as well as of individuals. He could not see the consistency or propriety of denouncing the one and not the other.— While he would preach none of these things it was with a feeling of pride that he an nounced himself for the “Union, Liberty» equal rights and the protection of enslaved humanity.” He would preach nothing but “ Christ crucified.” Certainly the noblest work a man can engage in, and if the Reverend gentleman adheres to the words of bis text, St. John’s will have great cause for gratulation, and become one of the most flourishing as well as one of the most happy and contented of congregations. “How to preach it.” He said the Gospel should be preached with earnestness, and with an experimental knowledge of it. A man should preach what he felt. He should be a thoroughly converted man himself be fore he preached the Word of Life toothers. This is the very best of advice, and it should be heeded aud profited by many who are now wearing the holy robes of ministers of the meek and lowly Jesus. Mr. Gotwald is evidently a young mau of much ability. His appearance is preposses sing. His manner in the pulpit. is subdued, but he is an eloquent and captivating speaker. His language is chaste, his sen tences well rounded, and his illustrations admirable. May his connection with the congregation of St. John’s be pleasant and profitable, and may both move forward in a career of usefulness and prosperity. Rev. Thomas C. Porter, I). I)., Professor of Natural History in Franklin and Mar shall College, delivered his furwell sermon to the students of that institution yester day morning, in the First Reformed Church, East Orange street. The sermon, which was attentively listened to by a large congregation, was exceeding able and eloquent, and one of the Dr.’s best efforts. Dr. Porter is about to assume the duties of a Professorship iu Lafayette College at at Easton. James B. Nicholson, Esq., of Philadel phia, Past Grand Muster of the Grand Lodge of Penn’a, and Past Grand Sire of the Grand Lodge of the United States, has kindly consented to deliver a public ad dress on the occasion of the Odd Fellows’ celebration, which is to take place in the City of Lancaster, on Wednesday, the 26th of September next. Due notice of the hour and the place will be given when all the arrangements of the committee having the matter in charge shall have been completed. The Order may consider itself peculiarly fortunate in having secured the services of so able a man as Mr. Nicholson. He is not only a man of eloquence, intelligence and general literary attainments, but is also well-versed in the history and objects of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and is in an eminent degree fitted to give an in teresting and instructive exposition of its principles and its progress in the United States and the World at large. A Family Pic Nic.— This morning we received an invitation to be present at the “Second Annual Family Pic Nic Party, at Litiz Springs, Wednesday, August Ist, 1866.” This injunction, however, is given us: “It is agreed that husbaud and wife must accompany each other, with their fam ilies,’’and “each family provides rations.” Now we would cheerfully comply with these conditions, but the fact of the matter is we are no married mun, are not blessed with any responsibilities, and cannot there fore furnish the “rations.” But as Burns says, "a man’s a man for a’that,” and as wo have frequently partaken of the hospi tality of our Columbia friends, we would not hesitate a great deal to be presont on this interesting occasion. At any rate, we wish the Columbians a day of real pleasure, hilarity and enjoyment. Last week whilst on our way home from Reading, m company with an esteemed friend, wo were prevailed upon by that priDce of good fellows and thorough Demo crat, Wellington Yundt, Esq,, to tarry with him over night, at his hospitable mansion in the village of Hinkletown. The kindness and hospitality of our friendYundtarepro verbial. The trip to Ephrata and back by moonMght, behind one of the fastest nags, driven with the skill of a practised Jehu by Mr. Yundt, was gloriously delightful. May the years of “Welly” Yundt be many, and may peace, prosperity and happiness con tinue to abide with him. Tribute of Respect.— At a meeting of the students of Franklin and Marshall Col lege, held on the 19th of July, the following preamble aod resolutions were unanimous ly adopted: Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, in His providence, to remove from this world Mrs. Mary M. Gerhart, wife of the Rev. Dr. E. V. Gerhart, Presidentof Frank lin and Marrhall College, therefore Resolved , That in the death of Mrs. Ger hart. who by her consistent Christian life, and her cheerful and amiable disposition, has indeared herself to us, we feel the loss of a personal friend, and are reconciled to it only by the sure belief that it is the work of our Heavenly Father, whose ways are not as our ways. Resolver, That we will ever cherish the memory of the deceased with a deep regret for her early departure and a profound sense of her personal worth. Resolved, That we extend to Rev. Dr. E. V.

Stuart Peterson & Co., of Phila. The recent accession of stovedom is rap idly winning the popular applause, and is destined to become the stove wherever neatness, beauty, cleanliness, dispatch, economy, etc., are appreciated. The trade of our section will make a note of this. A Stolen Team.—A man, representing himself as a resident of Philadelphia, and giving his name as Daniel Peck, came to Hahnstown, near Hinkletow r n,this county, on Sunday night last, having in his posses sion two horses and a buggy, which he of fered to sell. On suspicion of their being stolen property, he was arrested by Geo. C. and James D. Trego, with the assisstance of John C. Martin, Esq., and committed to the Lancaster County Prison. , The horses have since been claimed by Mr. Rieger, of Dauphin county. The buggy and harness has not yet been claimed. Peck has ac knowledged that he stole the horses and buggy. Excursion of Firemen.—We learn that the United States Hose Company, No. 14, of Philadelphia, odo of the finest organiza tions in the State, intend during the rqqnth of October next to make an excursion trip to Lancaster, Reading and Easton. The excursionists wifi number 10Q men, fully equipped, and will bring with them their ijew and handsome apparatus, together with full Brass Band. "While here they will be ffie guests of the Union Steam Fire Engine Cq. No. 1, and we are sure the members of which will spare no efforts to make their trip here a delightful oqe.

I Editorial Correspondence, j Up in the Mountains, ) Jane 28,1866. j “There is a pleasure in tbe pathless woods,” which is keenly felt by all except tbe dallest or most artificialofhuman kind. It is not strange that onr guide should have declared that more than any thing else, he enjoyed “ still hunting 11 deer in this magnifi cent primitive forest, with no companion excepthisdog, “Watch,” who was trained to wind them to perfection. Moving along with caution, always few paces infront of his master, Watch was ever alert and a picture of eager watchfulness. You could see his nostrils quiver as with head erect he con stantly sifted the wind to detect in it the scent of a deer lying or feeding in unsus pecting security. The moment he snuffed the tainted breeze you could There was neither yelp nor bound, not even an acceleration of speed. On thecontraryevery step was taken with increased caution; but the muscles of his body stiffened and he moved forward with unerring precision to ward the game. Several times he started off from the path at right angles in this way, and Solomon followed with long noiseless tread, but we listened in vain for the report of his rifle, and after a few moments would see him treading leisurely along in front of us. All along our path we could see the sharp, clean-cut tracks made by the feet of deer, Now and then one larger than usual would excite the admiration of the whole company. Of course there was a single buck in these woods, of enormous dimensions, a huge mastodon of a deer, beside whom all his compeers were mere fawns and yearlings. There always is such a monarch to be found in every range ; a kind of king deer which defies the arts of the hunter and moves as safely as if he bore a charmed life. After we had proceeded some mile or so from Midway Camp, our clerical friend and Solomon, who had been in deep com mune for some time as they walked along, infoi med us that they would go ahead of us a while, inasmuch as there was fine feeding ground for deer just beyond. They only had to step off quickly two or three minutes to be out of sight. The rest of us trudged along slowly, for au hour or more, thinking occasionally of our advance guard and hoping they might chance upon u deer, but scarcely expecting so much good luck, when the sharp crack of Solomon’s heavily charg ed rifle broke the stillness of the forest fast nesses around us. Simultaneously we heard the quick, sharp yelp of the dog, and in u moment the agonized bleat of a deer, as Watch throttled it with his mussive jaws. With a whoop the whole partv started for ward. Those on foot hnd decidedly the ad vantage Rapid locomotion on our packed Jiorses was out of the question, but for the first time on the trip ,we urged them to a trot. There on the ground luy a beautiful two yeur old buck. He had walked into the path before he was noticed by the hunters or scented by the dog. Before Solomon could swing his ritje from liis shoulder, he had crossed into the woods and stopped. ; All he could see of the body was about a foot in length and some three or four inches in depth of the back. That was enough, however, and a half ounce ball struck him down where he stood. As weoameupSolo mon had just drawu his long hunting knife over the throat of the beautiful creature, and it lay quivering in its death gasp. We know nothing that looks more human or more softly beautiful than the eye Of a dj'ing deer. We have seen "such a look in the lurge brown eyes of a woman, but it was only a passing shade too lovely to last. Our guide proceeded to prepare our ven ison for horseback. This is quickly done when you are up to it. Dis emboweling it, he stripped the skin from the ribs, about the middle of the carcass, and partly cut and partly broke through one of the vertebral joints, to make it bend to the shape of the horse, across which it was to be thrown. The head being cut otf aud the hind legs at the knee joints, it was ready to be perched behind one of the riders. It made no very comfortable addition to the load, but we were willing to be burthened with it. It was not “in the pride of grease ’’ but was in fine order, and, as wo found out, most delicious eating. Some two hours before sunset (we kept time by the sun in this wilderness when we could see it, and guessed at it when it was cloudy) our guide informed us that we were only a mile or so from the house, and that we would have time to fish awhile in a branch of the Blackwater if we wished to. Of course we were eager and ready for the sport. Duncan, my brother and myself concluded to follow Solomon while Mr. Ross and Charley, the driver, went on to the house with the horses and the luggage. As you near any stream iu this mountain region you find it skirted on either side lor some distance by a dense thicket of deer tonguo laurel. This plant has the most elegant leaf in this latitude and bears the most gorgeous ly beautiful flowers. It was not in bloom yet, but the cone-shaped chalices were form ing, from which a pyramid of the most ele gantly shaped blossoms would spring after awhile, all so closely packed as to seem at a short distance to be but a single magnifi cent flower. These laurel thickets are the haunts of black bears, which abound here. As we passed along a path which had been blazed und cut out, Solomon pointed out to us the tracks of a number of these formida ble animals. We could see the sharp print of their long claws in the delicate moss into which their heavy feet sunk asif into snow. We soon came to an almost precipitous descent, which led us down into a moun taingorge, through which thestream flowed. The wuter was very dark, being stained by the hemlock roots, but not nearly so much discolored ordinarily as the Blackwater.— It was a genuine mountain trout stream, brawling along over rocks, sweeping around sharp curves, making deep dark eddies under overshadowing bemlocksor swaying birch trees, tumbling headlong over minia ture falls, dashing into foam on rapids, spreading out into broad pools where som e huge fallen tree had caught the drifting brush wood, and as it sped onward ever singing its musical but solemn song. The banks were precipitious and thickly oovered with a dense undergrowth of laurel which coming down to the waters edge, hid every rock and fallen log beneath its rich green foliage. Of course we had to wade down stream to fish. We could not see the bottom through the discolored water, but we could tell where it was most shallow by its motion. As we rigged our lines, we looked in vain for the rise of a single trout, Not a riffling break was to be seen on the dark water above or below us. No fly,could tempt any trout in this stream just now. That Our only dependence would be on the ground worm, and that must drag along on the bottom. Fishing in that way we managed to pick up quite a num ber of nice trout, which were of a peculiarly rich scarlet color. It is well known that trout take their hue from the water they live in, and that in the same stream they change complexion with the color of the bottom on which they lie when feeding. This is a wise provision of nature by which they escape the notice of their enemies. It is the same to a considerable extent with other fish, but is especially noticable in trout. This leads inexperienced persons to think there are distinct varieties of trout in neighboring streams, or in different parts of the same brook. He who attempts for the first time the pleasant pastime of trouting in a genuine mountain stream will be apt to be some what disgusted with his experience, unless he has a large stock of patience and a pas sionate love for nature in her wilder moods. He will find bis hook fast somewhere else much oftener than where it should be, in a fishes mouth. The provokingjlittle beauties, after being hooked, will drop back into their natural element in a most unaccount able manner. Becoming excited, the novice will make a desperate jerk at the next rise only to find his hook securely iastened to the limb of a tree some eight or ten feet above his head. This will involve the test ing of his dexterity in climbing or the loss of his hook and part of his leader. He will find employment for all his faculties, and be forced to learn to think of two or more things at once. He must watch bis hook, must look ahead’of him to tell where to expect the next rise, must take care that some overhanging limb does not piok his hat off his head, and must see where he is setting his feet, ail at oneandthesama time. Lei him be as careful as be may, the probabilities are he will not have been in the water ten minutes until he will have enjoyed all the luxury of an unexpected plange bath. The first experience of this kind is queer. Quick as thought away your feet go from under you, and you ait down in the water without the least cere mony about the matter. You glance around to see whether your companion is enjoying your perplexity, and think, it may be, of friends in town who would laugh most ujh roriously at the picture you present. Mean time the brook has been damming itself up against you as unceremoniously as if you were only an old log to be flouted out of the way. There you lie, a great sprawling Triton among minnows, with the water playing all sorts of pranks, and taking all sorts of lib erties with your person. You regain your feet with an effort and proceed more cau tiously for a little while, only to be warned of increasing carelessness by the renewal of a singular mishap. Experience will enable you to overcome the obstacles which pro voke you so much at first, and after awhile you will be able to attend to your fishing and to enjoy the ever changing beauty of the scene about youat the same time. You will revel in the fresh forest glories around you and be able to sing: “ It is well through the rich wild woods to go. And to pierce the haunts of the fawn and doe, And to hear the gushing ofgrntle springs, When the heart has been fretted by worldly things.” The stream we were fishing flowed through a remarkable mountain gorge. Just as the sun was setting, about half a mile below where we started in we heard the hoarse roar of a water-fall. As we ap proached it the banks grew more precipi tous, and the hills closed in about us like towering walls, " Hills questioning the heaven for light, Ravines too deep to scan, As If tbe wild earth Imaged there The wilder heart of man.” In the meantime the stream growing more rapid beneath our feet, hurried forward to be dashed into the spray that floated like a mist about us, bathing our faces with its delicious moisture. Approaching the i- piee uud looking down some thirty- ve feet, we had a beautiful picture before us. Where we stood the ravine had been nar rowed to a few yards in width. On either hand were rocky walls all covered with laurel and thick green moss and trailing vines. Springing right out of this barren surface the hemlocks shot their towering, arrow-like trunks straight up toward the heavens, which they almost shut out from sight. The sombre shade that pre vailed was uubroken by a single ray from the setting sun, which still gilded the summit of the eastern moun tain top above us. The stream narrowed to a width of some-twenty-five feet, plunged over the precipice and was broken in its descent into a thousand feathery folds and foaming miniature cascades. Below a dark pool seethed as the water boiled and whirled, and after being separated into writhing ser pentine forms, or expanded into huge fans, flowed off between the rocks which still hemmed it in. Here weall stood entranced by the witching beauty of the wild scene about us, to describe which as it deserves is beyond our power. We could have mused here for hours, for never did we feel more fully the truth of the poet’s words: “ To sit on rocks, to muse oYr Hood and fell, To slowly trar’e tbe forest’s shady scene, Where things that own not man's dominion dwell, And mortal foot hath ne’er or rarely been ; Toclimb the trackless mountains all unseen, With the wild flock that never needs a fold, Alone o’er steeps and foaming falls to lean* This is not solitude; 'tis but to hold Converse with nature’s charms and, view her stores unrolled. We turned reluctantly away, with the de termination to revisit the beautifulspotand to trace this wild stream from these falls to where it entered the Bluckwater. In a dis tance of some two miles and a half there are thirteen falls, norte of them equal to the one we have attempted to describe, but all of remarkable beauty. In that distance the stream makes a descent of over seven hun dred feet. After our long walk utul our tiresome riding, we found it not such easy work to scale the precipitous hill which led from the falls to the table land on which the house was situated. We naturally commenced to grumble at being compelled every few mo ments to climb up hill over logs often breast high. Our guide sealed our lips, however, when he told us that ladies had frequently passed over the same route and encountered the same obstacles withouta murmur. We* could scarcely credit this, but on being as sured that we would see plenty of names of the adventurous fair ones carved on the rocks at the great falls of Blackwuter, we bore the ills that beset us in silence. How we fed and slept, and the multitudes of trout which we caught in the Biaekwater must be told in another letter. H. G. Smith.
