Fur the prevention of like occurrences, nothing

•It has now become necessary in my opinktli,
that a general overhauling or review of past Jeeis
icus should be had. That erroneous ones be ex
punged and some others remodeled, and that quite
a different course should be pursued in the manner
of administering justice. Whether it is too late now
to attempt anything of the kind, would be another
question; bet I never knew it too late to do good,
although sometimes it may be so to escape the con
sequences of past negligence of error. l I our Ra
chel Parker cases are not significant enough, our
readiness to fall in collision with other powers, may
be ;—and the existence of a hostile leeling of one
portion of our Union toward ano.her on a particular
subject, might bir possibly construed into a mean.
lEartort BOADIFIRD Itcrowrca—Dear Sir:—The
unexpected success which attended our first Agri.
curium! Fair, her had a mast excellent influence on
almost eserybody—it now seems in be a fixed fact
that Bradford County is to be second to none in the
characters( her farms and farm products.
Our first Fair most be considered somewhat:in the
light of en experiment, and as each of course it will
be impossible to please every mei. The Execu
tive Committee can hardly be said to have known
exactly what to:do, and:yet it would be very difficult
to find a Cordmittee who could do better than they
did. -Experience is the'best teacher, and now one
fair having been held,uhe succeeding ones will be
much easier. I beg leave to suggest to the exhib
itors of rare plants and vegetables, that they should
show willingness to distribute to their brother far
mers the seedaiand plants of such vegetables and
grain, which seems to find so congenial a soil in
our County. ..Such a course would soon start us in
a raee of the most generous rivalry, and make odr
cdrequent Fairs superior to those of any northern
County. I beg to suggest to the Executive Corn.
mittee, that when they fix the premiums hereafter,
instead of distributing in money, a snidli sum to the
winners, they give them some suitable book relat
ing to some branch of husbandry, the rearing and
feeding of stock, &c., Such a coarse, while it
will cost the Sitciety no more, will tetd stillfurther
to advance the cause had in view, by disseminat
ing useful information among the farmers throngh
out the County. Another matter which claims at•
tention, is the practice which has grOwn up, and in
some Societies has been stopped, it is that of award
ing premiums to stock raised in other States or
Counties, and purchased and brought here just be
fore the Fair, and which. takes, in most cases, the
first premiums. It does not seem exactly equita
ble, and is worthy of attention at all events.
The judges too, should in all cues, require some.
thing more than the mere assertion of the exhibitor,
to the amount et the crop raised by him—if of corn,
the certificate of one or more persons, who have
meabored the ground and helped to husk it, and of
the manner of taking the average, and so of all oth
er crops—by this means, little or no room would
be left to cavil and dispute the yield, as will assur
edly be the cue under the system pursued of tak
ing the say-so of the producer. These ate only a
few of the things which at first sight, seems to me,
to claim the attention of the Society, and with oth
ers which will occur to the members, will I hope
be adjusted by the time of the next Fair.
Yours taitnfully, ELM.
Qtr. We paid a brief, bot pleasant visit to To
wanda last week, and was present at the Agricul
tural Fair. And a fine affair it was for the first of
fort, showing conclusively, that, notwithstanding
the great rage of the Maine Law, that our Bradford
friends are a very spirited people,. and especially
so about Towanda. A more highly social and hos
pitable community ca., not be found in Pennsylva.
nia or elsewhere, than the people of Towanda and
Bradford county generally, we always admired the
place from our first acqoaintance. The display of
,stock, grains, fruit, roots, poultry, implements of
husbandry, e., were very good indeed. The La
dies came ii, fora Huge share of attention and the
highest ptemiotritt Yor their ingenious, fancy, orna
mental and useful productions, and well they might ;
for we have rarely witnessed greater skill and taste
displayed in embroidery and in all the departments
of needle-work, than we saw there, as als in the
domestic departments of their proper avocations.
Much interest was felt by the people, and quite
a large number from different parts. of the county
were in attendance. An excellent address was de
livered by Mr. Guyer. Bradford counts is rapidly

pang, in most instances, by permitting the railroad
to be built, without demanding payment let their
land.
In no part of thecountry is a Railroad more need
ed than here. We have all the elements of wealth,
scattered in profusion within our borders—afruitfol
soil, rewarding the toil of the husbandman with
generous returns—mineral treasures in abundance,
now hidden in the soil. A n't'eans of access to mar
ket, a demand which the creation of a Railroad al
ways supplies, will develops these resources, as
well as bring to the very doors of our tarm'ers, the
market for which, except in seasons of unusual de:
mend, they languish.
There is no question but the gentlemen interes
ted are willing and ready to build a Railroad from
Philadelphia to the State line, if they are met with
a spirit of encouragement and liberality by people
residing along the route projected, whose interest
in having this channel of communication, (both
Noth and South) opened, are second to none other.
To ensure its consummation, they must move in
the matter as if they not only were desirous that
the Road should be built, but as if they had faith,
and were determined that every thint - they could
do, should be performed. A listless Inactivity, a
passive acquiescence in the efforts of other., will
not do—u ve are all vitally interested in its sue.
ceaa, we should encourage the pro, ject, in every
possible way.

the Road have it in their power to do much it:ow

the Road. It is the experience of every section of
the country, that the building of a rail-road, enhan:
ces the value of property for miles adjacent from 25
to 500 per cent. There is no farmer, along the
proposed route of the North Pennsylvania Railroad,
who would not be greatly the gainer, by giving the
right of way over his properly. We trust that those
upon whom so much now depends, will be ready
to extend to the Company every facility for open
ing for us the much needed channel of communi
cation.

This morning at about a quarter before ten
o'clock, a shocking accident, which resulted in the
loss of the lives of seven men, occurred on the Del
aware, opposite Dock street.
The unfortunate men were laborers in the em
ploy of the Camden and Amboy Railroadrompany,
and bad been engaged in clearing the dlek below
the Walnut street landing. Two scow. Joaded with
mud, had been made last to the stem of the steam
boat Washington, for the purpose of being towed
to Camden. Nine men were in the now.
Just u the steamboat and the scow reached the
channel, the swell from the former swamped one
of the scows, and it instantly sunk,iucking the oth
er down with it. Seven of the meweank with the
boats, and were seen no more.
Only two men, who acted as captains of the scow
were saved. They were preserved by clinging to
some matter which remained afloat.
The following are the names, &o , of the vic
lima :—...
Francis Daily, aged about 23; lately married ;
boatded at McClenses in Water st.
Micheal McGuigan, aged about 80resides in
O'Hara's Court, in the neighborhood of Seventh and

me State Central Committee:
Are cannot pass by the present glorious Demo•
cratic triumph in our State without doing justice to
the ability, zeal and industry displayed by the State
Central Committee doling the canvass. troth the
commencement of the campaign doWn to the" day
of the election, their efforts were unceasing in coun
selling and perfecting an organization on a State ba
sis in each county in the Commonwealth and the
good effects of their caber can be seen in the unpa
ralleled majorities which we are receiving for the
State ticket. To accomplish this conceit of action,
and awaken and stimulate this spirit of enthusiam
and energy, was no !mall task to confide to a Com
mittee. In many of the counties, local causes ope
rated against the speedy and conciliating action of
the Committee, in others an apathy Seemed to
have settled down upon the energies of .the party,
which operated like a pall upon their efforts on be
half of the causeirend the candidates of the Demo.
crud•, Still, nothing daunted, the Committee bold
ly took the field; issued their orders, marshalled
their forces, examined the number and dispnst.ion
of the opposing army, and thus prepared the plan
for the campaign with certainty and precision, and
when the day of battle came the victory was hill
and complete. There was fighting in the dark.—
There was no blundering for want of correct data
on which to base calculations for the struggle All
this had been attended to by the State Central Com•
mines in a most thorough and masterly manner,
and, therefore, the party was 101 l armed and ready
for the field. From a comparatively dull and liTe
less commencement, the campaio terminated in
one of the most spirited and brilliant ever conduct
ed in this State. The fire and animation which
characterised the movements of the Committee ap
pointed by the State Convention, wese soon felt in
all the counties of the Commonwealth, and all lo
cal differences were forgotten in the general desire
to place Pennsylvania first on the good old repub
lican platform of devotion to those principle which
are so well and ably represented by the National
and State administrations.—Evening Argus.

full - particulars of the escape of Mitchell aril Mar.
tin, co-exiles of Meagher American citizens were
about appealing, through the Minister. Mr Buchan
an, to the humanity of England, in behalf of those
suffering patriots. But these gallant spirits were
weary, waiting for the softening of royal hearts,—
They have escaped, thank God, and soon we hope
to welCome them with glad hearts to this " Asy
lum of the oppressed."
John Mitchel was one of the most eloquent and
daring advocates of Ireland's rights. He labored
ceaselessly and fearlessly for a separation:from En
gland's rule, until arrested on acharge of sedition,
convicted, of course, and homed off to drag out a
miserable lite with the most infamous arid degrad
ed of England's criminals. He was a ruling spirit
of the " Young Ireland Party," was a writer for the
Dublin Nation, and afterwards established the Unit
ed Millman. Royalty was frightened at his ear
nestness and eloquence, the ability and power of
his logic, and be was b anished for fourteen year.—
Martin, his friend and admirer, soon followed him,
under sentence of ten years' banishment.
They here escaped, and while tossing about on
the wide ocean of the world, our country is the po
lar star to which their magnet points, and points
unerringly. We bid to them God speed, extend to
them the hospitalities and sympathies of Ameri
ca's pure, brave hearts. They will make good cit
izens, and reflect honor on - themselves and their
adoptd country. Their virtues make them belov
ed, and theiritalents will cause them to be admir
ed. Thos. F. Meagher, during his short residence
here, by his thrilling and matchless eloquence, has
won a name that all may aspire to; but few can
reach. Mitchell and Martin are not less worthy.
IMPORTANT FROM WAAHINOTON.—Important de
velopments relative to the design , of England to
A Meanies Cuba, are leaking ont. Some weeks

Search the plantations in Cuba on which slaves

England has, thus acquired the right of search and
foothold in Cuba, which may be carried to any ex
tent her purpose may demand. •
Some Jaya since, reliable information was re

The Atlantic, which arrived yesterday al iconic.
brings important intelligence trim Eastern Europe'.
Ti is reported that a wand council ot the Sultan'iath
vieers had been held at Constanttainee; thalthey
had agreed in recommending anti irrdrawing Bpi
declaration of war against Etwia ; and that the
declaration had been signed by the Sultan Some
degree of doubt is thrown upon (Ilia intelligincv
from the fact that the Iltining Chronicle of theta
is the only London . paper by a Inch the telegraph i c
dispatch annooheir.g it was received, and there_
ported declaration ut the Czar, at the Olean Con.
ference, were favorable to the preservation olpeari.
These reasons, however, do not seem too efficteni
to warrant the rejection of the nerve. The Chroni:
Ile has been uniformly prompt and reliable in rd
E.'aste,n intelligence during the pending mu., and
its dispatch in this case is treated by the other jour
nals as authentic. Indeed, they all concede the
fact that a Grand . Council of thu Sultan's adrise4'
was held, and that it recommended a declaration
of war; the only point cow...ruing which arty doubt
is expressed, is that the Sultan has signed it. The
English Ambassador would undoubtedly i;ci all in
his power to prevent sorb an act. or, at all erents
to postpone its consummation We are inclined,
however, to think that his influence ash the Sul.:
I tan has been greatly weakened. and that his le
monstrances wonld prove me fiectual, against the
advice of the Sultan's Council.

deavore will probably be to prevent 'he war from
becoming general. and to keep out of it hereelf
She ha 3 no interests in preeei vuig the Cowman Em-
pine, but only in preventing it Itom !Rini into the
hands of Russia. " The mere dusolotion of the
‘• Turkish Empire," says the Times," would be of
" no greater moment to England 'ban a thstiolotion
" of the Kingdom of Dahomey. The Maintenance
" of the Ottomim Empire," ii adds, " means the
prohibition of Russian Encroachments and nothing
else." This is unquer tunably the view of the sub
ject taken by the English Government, the one by
which its action will be guided, so tar as public
sentiment in England will permit. 11 any 'vitt- -
lion, therefore, can be seemed from the Craw wh.eir
shall engage him not to seize upon and appropriate
a large part of Turkey. England will probably use if
to hold herself alod from the war. Her greatest
dread is war ; and she will make any at cri6ce nor
absolutely incompatible with her safety and booms
to avoid it. 4
The Czar, however, has not entered hastily into
this matter, nor are fixed pnrposes likely to be eas
ily turned aside. He will have Austria for an ally.
and may feel strong enoeigh to defy the power of
Western Europe. His last manifesto, whiting big
assent to the Sultan's modifications of the Vienna
Nate, breathed a lofty and defiant tone, and indi•
cated anything but a readiness to abide his proms'
sons.
The outbreak of the war in Eastern Europe, and
especially the involvement of Austria mit, will
give Kossuth and Mazzini the opportunity they have
been waiting for to renew their struggle. towe l
will undoobily avail himself of the earliest pliable
chance to repair again tkHurigary. and arouse tits
people against their oppressors. He will probably
await en intimation from the Sultan that his alli

war, such an assurance will not long be delayed.- -
The reappearance of this wonderful man to the
heart of Hungary, in the midst of the people cat
whom he was once all-powerlol, and whose Oa th '
ment to him has only been deepened by his exile,
Could not fail to produce important results. 11 might
