By attendirg to tbis in time, they will save much unnecessary trou ble. New County. Last week we noticed the fact that a move ment was on foot to erect a Dew County out of Ferguson, Gregg, Haines, Harris, Miles, Penn and Potter Townships. We wish now, to correct some of tho statements made by our Editorial brother of the Bericliter, and, as an honest man, we ask (jim to publish our article, so that his readers may be informed of the real condition of cur County affaire.— Mr. Kurtz, we think, has no desire to know ingly misrepresent, and we feel confident lie will giadly correct tho graye errors he has made. It is alleged that the Townships on that side of the mountain pay more tax than the Townships on this side. Tbis is evidently a mistake ; the amount of County tax paid by the several Southern Townships is as fol lows : Ferguson, $1150,20 Gregg, 1052,54 Haines, 850,21 Harris, 1188,52 Miles, 739,10 Penn, 679,65 Potter. 1390,44 Total, $7050.66 Tho amount of County tax paid by the sev eral Townships and Boroughs on this side of the mountain, is as follows : Bellefonto, $633.56 Benner, 670,92 Boggs, 392,12 Burnside, 135,60 Curtin, 94,14 Half Moon, . 348,00 Howard, 374 29 HustoD, 10255 Liberty, 311,08 Marion. 545,26 Milesburg, 202,56 Patton, 333,98 Rush, 170,66 Snowshoe, 196,15 Spring, 888.53 Taylor, 92 67 Union, 158,52 Unionviile, 75,76 Walker, 722.10 Worth. 136,07 Total, $6584 52 Now subtracting the amount paid in the Southern Townships, seven thousand and fif ty dollars and six'y six cents. (§7050.66 ) from the amount paid by the Townships on this side ot the mountain, six thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars and fifty-two cents, ($0584,52.) we find there is a differ ence of four hundred and sixty-six dollars ($466,00) in favor of the Southern Tuwo •hips. But the Duplicate shows that we pay one thousand two hundred dollars more unseated land tax than the Southern Town ships ; add this one thousand two hundred dollars (§1200,00) to the six thousand five hundred and eighty-four dollars and fifty two ceLts, ($6584,52) County tix paid by the Townships ou this side, and it leaves a tai lance in our favor of seven hundred and thir ty-six dollars and eighty-six cents. ($736,. 86 ) Thus it will be seen that they do not, as is alleged, pay more taxes than we do, but we actually pay seven hundred and thir ty-fix dollars and eighty six cents, ($736,80) more than one-half of the entire CouDty tax. The diffoience in th Staie tax is still greater, we paying a much larger proportion of taxes than they do. It U alleged that the County debt is twen ty-seven thousand dollars. This is a mis take; the actual debt of the County is only twelve thousand dollars. Again, they com plain of onerous taxation. Now we have ex amined that point carefully, for taxation in this County is becoming a general cause of distress to the people. We find, however, that the tax assessed in Centre County is two and a balf mills on tbe dollar, and that is a less amount than is paid by any other Coun ty in tho State, of like proportion. At the rate of two and a balf mills on the dollar, the County is meeting all its expenses, be* side annually paying off three thousand dol lars of its indebtedness. The present debt being twelve thousand, in four more years, if the present policy be continued, the Court House will be paid for, and the County clear of debt. From what we have said it will be seen that the finances of the County are in an excellent condition. Our taxes are mod erate, and there is no just cause of com plaint. We hope our brethren on the other side of the mountain will give up their fool ish notion of dividing the Couuty, and con sent to remain a pari and parcel of Centre County. It is better for both them and us that the County should remain as it is. The cost of erecting new buildings for a seperate County, and the tax required to keep it up, would far overrun any benefit they might de rive from a seperation. Should it be neces sary, we will submit other facts which will show still more conclusively the inexpedien cy of dividing old Centre. Letter from Mr. Skugert. We have received the following letter from Mr. S'uugert, and cheerfully lay it before our readers. We are highly "gratified" to learn of Mr. Shugert's determination to return home, and have no doubt that fully nine tenths of tiie citi zens of Centre county will share in our delight. We will welcome him back to the shades'of private life, and en deavor to keep hitn there as loDg as possible. We believe the public interests will be bet ter subserved by Mr. Shugert residing in Bcllefonte than Washington: WASHINGTON March 23d, 1861. MESSRS. EDITORS : 1 perceive by the Centre Democrat of the -Ist iust., that you have ac credited to me the authorship of a foolish letter published in the Democratic Watchman, under the head of its Washington correspon dence, and have embraced the occasion to indulge in a considerable amount of per sonality and misrepresentation. It is but just to myself to sav that I am not the author of the letter alluded to, nor do I possess any ownership of the Watchman establishment, or control of its columns. I may also add, if it will be any gratification to you to know the faet, that! have solicited BO influence from any quarter whatever, to be retained in tbe service of tbe Government, and will, without regret or mortification, sur render to the " pressure" when my official superiors determine that the public service, or the party in power, will benefit by a change. .

Hutchison, our yenerableand excellent Commissioner, was elected a mem ber of the Board of County Commissioners, the paper of the county was twenty per cent bolow par. Indeed, it was almost impossi ble to sell a County order for more than sev enty-five cents cash on the dollar. Now, all Centre county paper is at par, and sells read ily for its full value. This week application was made to the Commissioners by certain parties to lend the county ten thousand dol lars at 6 per cent. This shows that Mr. Hutchison is not ODly one of the best ficas ciers in the county, but that our monied men have entire faith in his ability. Ile has raised the credit of Centre county from a lan guishing condition, so as to make the papei command a ready market, and induce peo ple with money, notwithstanding the hard times and the jail excitement, anxious and willing to lend the county their money. It is but just to the other members of the Board, to say that Mr. Hutchison's plans are ably seconded by them. We expect to see Mr. Hutchison continued in his present po-; sition for the next ten years. The people of Centre county should keep such men in of fice. Distinguished Visitor. Among tbe many strangers in town tbis week, we notice General George Foust, of Potter Township. Ne private citizen iu Pennsylvania enjoys a larger Daticnal rep utation than GeD, Foust. Tha Gen. informs us that be has returned from Washington, where he has been lookoDg after matters of publio interest. Since the commencement of our national difficulties, GeD. Foust, like Gen. Scott, has largely increased his former splen* did military reputation. While in Harris burg, attending the Inauguration ot Gov. Curtin, nearly all the distinguished military men in the State, then in tbe city, called ou ihe Gen. at bis rooms and had interviews with him in regard to our public affairs.— While in Washington, the Gen., we arc told, had several interviews with Mr. Lincoln, and ic is said he et.joya the Presidents en tire confidence. EFFECTS OF LIBERTY. —The Italians are everywhere making good use of their freedom and nowhere more than in Naples. Since the expulsion of the Bourbons, associations have been formed by workingmcn for mutu al instruction and assistance. The city was illuminated for three nights in honor of the surrender of Gaeta. A decree has been late ly published, granting to a company the right to form a canal to irrigate the plains of Sesia, to be also used lor navigation if de sired—to ba fed by the waters if tbe Voltur no and Gariglino.

In ths revolution that has occurred in some of the Southern States, under the manage ment of the politicians trained in the princi ples of the modern Democratic party, it is remarkable that since the secession of South Carolina, every step in the progress of Dis® union has been taken without fairly present ing the matter to the decision of the people. Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi went out with only partial reference of the question to the popular vote. In Louisiana there was an actual majority against access sion, though ihe fact was suppressed by the Disunion leaders. In Texas not balf of the people voted on the question at all. The question of secession was fairly and deliber ately submitted to the people of Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, North Carolina and Arbansas, and in each State there was a large majority against it. Kentucky and Mary land did not even entertain the project or ask for a vote on it. Thus in every case where the people of a Slave State have been honest ly consulted, the decision has been for the Union. Haying endeavored to establish a new re public without reference to the fundamental principle of all republicanism, the will of the people, the secession managers are obliged te continue the same course in all their proceed, ings. Tbe delegates to the Montgomery Convention were not chosen by the people; the President and Vice President were not chosen by the people ; the provisional Con stitution was not submitted to the people, and now the permanent Constitution is atao to be withheld from tbem, and they are ex pected to obey it, without being allowed to say whether it is acceptable to thsm or not. The people of Louisiana, of Georgia and, we believe, of other States, have asked to be al lowed to ratify the Constitution by a vote; but the Conventions have refused this privi lege, and we presume a like course will be pursued in each of the seceded States. Secession is modern Democracy fully ri pened. The name, Democracy—a govern ment of the people—is used; but the great object, is to deprive the people of all such rights as were guaranteed to them by the Declaration of Independence and the Consti tution of the United States. It was the per version of the good old Democratic princi ples that drove respectable men from the par. ty and led to the amazing growth of the Re publican party. There remained in the Dem ocratic party at the North the offiee-holdcrs and hireling writers, with their adherents, and they, when they found their party at home hopelessly disorganized, determined to sacrifice the Union itself, if by so doing they could deprive the successful majority of the enjoyment of the rights they acquired at the ballot-box. Ilence Secession is a Democrat ic institution. It would never have had a particle of success, but for the support of northern Democrats, and the enc ;uragement and material aid of a Democratic President and Democratic Cabinet Ministers. Thus, the development of the doctrines of the Cin 'cinnati and Charleston platforms and the practices of the Cincinnati and Charleston politicians has brought the nation to its pres ent lamentable condition. In this condition, the voice of the people is not allowed to be heard, dnd events are hurried on, govern ments are overturned, laws and constitutions are disregarded, oaths are broken, robbery and treason are committed, trade is destroy ed, workmen are thrown out of employment, civil war is threatened—and all this simply for the sake of carrying out " Democratic" principles ! The fully developed Democracy is thu9 demonstrated to the Destruction. When the people,-at ter the fury of this se cession tempest is passed, and the madness of the revolution is seen and acknowledged, shall become able to control the reckless pol iticians, we are quite sure that they will re pent of the disruption of the country which they have suffered to be brought about. They will, if war can be avoided, gradually come to admit the wrong that has been done, and to deny the binding authority of the new system of government which has been placed over them without asking their consent. It will be quite as easy to rescind a secession ordinance as it was to enact one. If the Union is ever thus restored, the people, who have suffered so bitterly, >South ard North, at the bands of the politicians, must take measures to prevent any revival of the doc trines and practices, and any restoration to influence of the leaders of the false Democ racy, which has broken the Union once, and will disturb its peace so long as it has any power.— rhil'a. Bulletin, NOBODY IS IIDBT.—Much fault was found with Mr. Lincoln for saying, at Cincinnati, " Nobody is hurt. " Alex. 11. Stephens, the Vice-president of the Southern Confederacy, makes substantially the same statement: " A vast empire was divided—A govern ment thrown off, a new system inaugurated iD juxtaposition to the old, and without a drop of blood, the slightest social disorder or physical suffering." It remains to be seen if the southern hou ses which have suspended payment, the planters who are heavily taxed, and the cap italists who are bleeding at their pockets in support of the new confederacy, will find as much fault with Mr. Stephens for declaring that nobody is hurt. SAD OCCIDENT.—Just as we were going to press, intelligence reached us that Dr.-Wm. Irvin, who had been attending Court at this plac9, on his way home met with a sad mis fortune. Ilia horses became frightened, ran away, throwing him from his buggy and se verely injuring birn. We were unable to learn the paiticulars.

Newton Pettis, of Pennsylvania, and Charles Lee Armour, of Maryland, As sociate Justices; Copoland Towusend, Mar shal. A very large number of nominations will be seDt into the Senate to-morrow, as tho clerks expected to be engaged most of the night in writing out letters for that purpose, Carl Schruz's nomination was sent in to-day for minister to Portugal. According to present indications, the nom ination of Mr. Hoiloway for Commissioner of Patents cannot be confirmed, the Commit tee of Patents not having repotted on tbe subject. Therefore it will probably be with drawn. FORT PICKENB NOT TO BE REINFORCED, There is sufficient authority for asserting that the administration intends to preserve the present at Fort Pickens, nei ther reinforcing ncr evacuating it. The southern commissioners have been authori tatively informed that the dispatch sent to New York, stating that Fort Pickens is to be reinforced, is totally false. HOSTILITIES TO BE AVOIDED. The confederate commissioners have re ceived advices to-day which authorize tbevn to declare that affq.rs look inure peaceable now thau they have since the adjournment of Congress, and any collision is beleived to be quite impossible. THE PRESIDENT AND VIRGINIA. Ssveral membeis of the Virginia Conven tion, who are in this city, called on the President to-day and were much pleased with their interview. Mr. Lincoln jocosely remarked that if they all could have a'short time to talk quietly over their troubles, he thought everything could bs settled to the satisfaction of everybody. SOUTHERN OFFICE 9. He further.added that he sould make no chaDges in offices ip the Southern States un less those seeking appointment were accept able to a majority of the inhabitants. SECESSION IN VIRGINIA. Senators Mason and Hunter have gone to Virginia to urge immediate secession before the congresional election takes place in May, when the state is certain to elect Union men, secession making very slow progress in the Old Dominion. Hon. George W. Summers, of Kanawha, telegraphed to the President to-day, from the Virginia conveation, urging an immediate call of an extra session of Congress, and the adoption of conciliatory measures, as a fair caucus of the convention shows that only three votes are wanting to pass an ordinance of secession. Censiderable excitement was caused by the departure of Col. Lataon, President Lincoln's law partner, for Richmond to-night. Superintendent Barbour, of ihe armory at Harper's Ferry, resigned to-day, having be come a convert to secession. PENNSYLVANIA'S CLAIMS. There is justly great complaint here that, Pennsylvania has, thus far, beeD so overlook ed in tne distribution of diplomatic and con sular appointments. New Y r ork, with Gov ernor Seward at the head of the Department of State, and Massachusetts, with Senator Sumner, as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, have, of course, tbe lion's share. Then, the great Northwest, which for the first time has furnished a President, is amply represented here by aspirants for place. But Pennsylvania should not be— must not be forgotten, and urgent remon strances against the apparent neglect cf her right to be remembered haye been made to President Lincoln within the past few days. : THE UNION. Whether by Congress or by a Convention j is not yet determined, but there is a prova- I lent impression heie tbat)eeceding Slates will j be sufiered to " gang their ain gait," and to make tbe most they can out of their confed erated position. Some think that Fort Pick sns will be reinforced, and that the Southern ports will be blockaded, but your oorrespou- dent soes nothing to justify this opinion.— On the ether hand, the advocates of a peace able 6eperation are daily becoming more nu merous, and they say: — " If 'tis to, be done when 'tis done, then 'tis well 'twere done quickly." COMMISSIONER CF PATENTS The friends of Mr. Hoiloway insist upon hie conformation as Commissioner of Patents, and there may be quite a contest over bis name in the Senate. THE ORDER ISSUED FOR THE EVACUATION OF FORT SUMTER, Yesterday the President issued tbe order to Major Anderson to put his command in readiness to evacuate Fort Sumter, upon the arrival at that place of a United States war steamer, Col. Lam on, of Illinois, the confi. dential friend of the President, was eent bearer of despatches to Major Anderson:— The evacuation will take place upon the ar rival of the steamer which has been dis patched by the Secretary of Navy. There is no intimation whatever, on the part of the South Carolina authorities, that any attempt will be made to prevent the evacuation in such a manner as the United Slates G .vern medt has seen fit to employ. Major Ander son will salute his flag and embark with bis command. Major Anderson ia ordered to report North. If any attempt is made by tbe South Carolina authorities to prevent the evacuation in tbe order directed by tba Dni ted States Government, Major Anderson ia instructed to remain in the fort and open b(s batteries upon the city. This, however, will not he done, as there will be no opposition to the evacuation on the part of the Secess ionists. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM TEXAS. GALVESTON, TEXAS, March 23. The State Legislature met ou the 18th inst. The members of the House and Sen ate took the oath of allegiance to the new government, a lew of them under protest.— Governor Houston and the Secretary of State have retired from their offices and surrender ed the archives.

The office of Secretary of State is also declared vacant. An order of the Confederate Government has been issu ed for the purchase of the steamship Habano to be immediately fitted out as a was steam er, APPOINTMENTS. WASHINGTON, March 25th. Philadelphian9 must be comforted with the announcement that New York appoint ments are at a stand-still, and that tbe Bog tonians are in a stew over their Post Office, Naval Agency, and District Attorney. It is a lucky matter for President Lincoln that he is free from the Southern offices and that the Virginians, who have usually claimed tbe lion's share of the public offices, are not here to come in competition with :he men from the Northwest, who have come in brigades. DESERTIONS AT WASHINGTON. There is a considerable dagree of excite ment here in consequence of the desertion of several men from the Federal forces which were drawn together for the defence of the capital. It is rumored that the deserters have gone South, for the purpose of joining tbe army of the rebels, and suspicions of foul play between officers and men are freely ex pressed. NEWS FROM TEXAS—HOUITAN AWAKE, Gentleman direct from Texas represent tho Unjon feeling there as very strong, and as gaining ground, although the blustering Secessionists are professedly carrying all be fore them. Stirring news may sooa be ex pected. Sam Houston, although formally deposed from the Governorship of the State by the Rebels' Convention, does not intend to give up his place without a struggle.— Despatches from him, just received here, draw a gloomy picture of the condition of affairs, and declare that civil war is inevita ble. He has the Convention and a host of the rebels arrayed against hiai, but he is not the " Old Sam" of former days if be cannot find backers enough to show fight. The la test information indicates that he has studi ed his position, and taken a firm stand against the Seoeders. He expresses no fear of the ultimate result of the conflict, which he seems to regard as very near. POSTAL AFFAIRS. The new Postmaster-General proposes, it is said, to have a thorough examination made into tbe affairs of bis office, and especially in to tbe accounts of these who have held com missioners under tha past two Administra tions. There are rumors in circulation that the accounts of a prominent Post Office in the interior of Pennsylvania will not bear closa scrutiny. FGNNBYLVANIANB AND OFFICE. An informal meeting of Pennsylvanians is held to night to discuss the unequal distri butions of patronage, in which the Keystone State is almost neglected. LEGISLATIVE OFFICE SEEKERS. Mr. Lincoln is besieged by members of the Pennsylvania Legislature who are rendered keen by the success of the Speakers of both Houses in obtaining iucrative positions.— Every one desires something for himself and his relatives. It is rumored to-day that the Presiucnt will require them, on filing their applications, to subscribe under oath as fol lows :—" I. A. 8., solemnly declare that I have not, as member of tbe Pennsylvania Legislature, received any consideration for votiDg for any bill, and that 1 am not inter® isested in any passengor railway or other corporation, chartered during the present session." It is expected that tais will reduce the number of applicants considerably, and a general scatter is expected. PATRIOTIC TEARS.— At Willard's Washing ton, the other evening, a lady was seated at the piano, siDging. Gen. Wool, wearing his button, asked her to sing the Star Spangled Banner. She did it with admi able effect.— The General stood beside her with the tears running down his cheeks, and as he turned to dash them from his eyes that never quail ed before his country's foes on the field of battle, the pailor raDg with the applause the song and the scene so well merited. Ex-Member Reagan, of Texas, now Postmaster General of the Confederate States, has written on here for his quota of Congres sional books —requesting one set to be sent to Montgomery, Ala., aud the remainder to Texas. S&" Judge Campbell of Alabama, and Judge Wayne of Georgia, retain their seats ia the Supreme Court at Washington SECESSION AND THE SUPPLY. —Tha store ship Supply, with provisions for Fort Piok ens, has fallen, we are told, into the hands of the adversary. An unsatisfactory dispatch says she was seized at Pensacols, with what circumstances or with what display of force we are not informed. The fact justly occasions surprise. Not because the Seces sionists have added this particular form of theft to the varieties they have almost exhaus ted elsewhere, but that the theft should have been possible in case of a vessel provided with the ordinary moans of defense, and we may reasonably presume, further protected by the guns of Fort Pickens. It of course, possible that the eapturo could not have been avoided or defeated by any displays of cour* age er precaution ; but so long as we contin ue to tread among the treasonable traps and pitfalls left us as a legacy bv the late Ad ministration, we cannot proceed too guard edly, or look into the causes of such misad ventures as the present too curiously.
