The Sonic affair —Backing out of Louis Napoleon—
Ihe So'jJc Conspiracy against Marcy— Buchanan
to l>c put in his /mice on a War Footing—Look out
fur the I'resident's Message.
WASJIINCTON. NOV. 19, 1854.
The administration are astonished with the news
received by the Asia They have officii! advices
confirming the Herald's report of the backing out
of Louis Napoleon in the Soule affair. Pieice at
feels extieme delight; but Alarcy suspects there is j
something still behind. And so ti.ere is. It iscov
ered up in the following ad vices received here Ly
the lasi steamer:—
A very waihke despatch has come to hand Irom
Buchanan touching our relation wiih France,iu con
tipcion with'the San Iwtch Islands, Cuba,the Dillon
affair at San Francrioo, the St. Domingo intrigues
and Ihe Soule question. "Old Buck," in the des
patch urges the most decisive measures—a power
ful navy—the immediate annexation ol Cuba, at all
hazards. No time to be lost We must defy j
France—England will stand off—and in defying j
France we may frighten Spain out of Ihe lalind— j
"the ever faiihlul island of Cuba " He opposes,
any immediate ac ion concerning the Sandwich Is
lands. They will keep. He goes for Cuba before j
anything else, and to the exclusion ol everything
else which may interfere with Cuba.
Marcy will resist this programme, and will have
to go out. He is too slow—the Kitchen Cabinet
are in the conspiracy. They believe that ihe Pres. 1
ident's position can be only retrieved by war. or a
strong coun er excitement on ottr foreign affairs,
against the poli'ical revulsion at home. It Marcy
goes out, the plan of Souls and Co. is to put Bu
chanan in his place. The President's message to
Congress will probably tell die whole story. The
issue is between the Congress at Os'end and our
Premier. If ite former triumphs weare authoriz
ed to say that we shall have Cuba in less ilian six
months—no mailer how. If the more pacific poli
cy of Marcy is adopted by the President, it is re
ported that Soule and Buchanan will resign and re
turn home to agitate the question here—Sanders re
maining to keep the pot boiling on the other side
Soule, it is said, will not return to Madrid thro'
France—will not even go to Paris to partake of the
banquit proposed to be given him there; but will
lake the steamer San Jaointo, at Southampton, di
rect for Spain, the siiip having been detained by
Mr. Bucnanan for that purpose. But, in the mean
time, it is feared that the revolutionary affiliations |
of Soul *, in London will result in still mote aggra- i
vauna complications with France and Spain.—
Hence Marcy is gloomy and laci am. He evident,
ly suspects the piot against liirn—the troubles in
embryo—and is sorely preple.ved—Pieice will not
listen to the recall ol Soule, as mattersstand. They
have gone too far. Marcy will, therefore, be com
pelled to allow our filibustering minister to run to
the end ol his leiher. Soule and his lire-ea'ing ill
plomatic associates have thus secured the upper
hand over Marcy. and he is powerless. Soule is
particularly at the head of the European affairs;
and it will go hard il we do not obtain a red hot
war, or as beautiful a quarrel with France and
Spain as the Cuban Jun a could desire. One thing
Is almost certain—we shall either have a " jolly
row" with France and Spain or a revolutionary fus
in the family at Washington.
WASHINGTON*, NOV 20—8 N. M
1 am enabled lo sta'e upon unquestionable au
thority that the President has determined upon a
reconstruction ol the Cabinet as soon alter the meet
ing of Congress as possible, say about die middle
ot January. Mr. Marcy will lerign, and Messrs.
Campbell and Gutlwie will go out. Mr. Brecken
ridge, of Kentucky, will be made Attorney Gener
al, and Mr. Cushing will take the State Depart
ment Mr. Dobbin will be iranslerred to Ihe Treas
ury Department. The other positions have not yet
been determined upen.
Mr Buchanan having officially notified the Pies
ident ol his intentions ol returning home in the
spring, Mr. Marcy is to go to England as Minister.
This will, of course, dispose also ot Mr. Sickles
Mr. Mason, who is very desirous of being recalled
from France, will probably be offered a scat in the
Cabinet, though this is uncertain.
Having determined upon a reconstriiciion ol die
Cabinet, the President will also make an entire
change in ihe foreign appointments, recalling Soule,
Belrnont, Seymour, It is believed that the
amount of patronage which he will thus have at
his disposal, may prove sufficient to give ihe ad
ministration full power in Congress. At all events
the experiment will be tried, and has been agreed
upon to Ihe extent 1 have above staled.

writer upon ihe subject of£d ueaVjonj/sill verjjgw
voung leai-hers have any definite idea how they
shall govern, or even try to govern a school when
I hey commence (eiu-hbt*. A' friendly discussion
of this question which shall call out the views
anl plans of those who are successful, will mate
rially aid those who are about to take charge of
schools. School nqanagemeut and ciassiliopions
should also be bron*ht the borfy
assembled, as an assoewhon—so thai days and
weeks may not be be >pent by the young teacher,
in endeavoring to so arrange and classify his or her
school, before a plan may be hit upon that shall
answer the pqrpose. The methods.to be adopted
to secure regulari y, and punctuality in attendance,
to secure attention and good order while scholars
are engaged in recitations. The beet plan to be
pursued to awaken the interest ol the parents in the
school, and die cause of education in general, all
form proper topics lor discussion.
The School Law, in it practical workingsamong
the people—the various duties ofthe several school
officers, who are to carry out the law, should also
be brought up and talked about. No class of com
munity need to be more thoroughly conversant with
all the details of the laws, by which our education
al sys'em is regulated, than the common school
teacher. Very few of the men engaged in framing
these laws are teachers, and probably never'weie;
consequently they are not well qualifi- d to judgo
how a specific enactment will operate, .when its
provisions are carried out in li e several school dis
tricts, or die school 100 m. Now, if the school laws
were Ireely discussed by teachers and school ofli
cess who have had an opportunity of testing their
u ility , and alterations proposed where they were
not found to work* well—the course of legislation
upon this subject might be materially modified.—
Allow me to state a case exactly in point: In the
adjoining Sta'e of New Yoik, the offices of Super
intendent of Schools and Secretary ofStatP, were
both held by one incumbent, until last April. Some
three or lour years previous (p that time, a compar
atively obscure teacher in a small village in one ol
; the southern counties of the State, offered a resolu
tion i.n a County Teacher's Association, in favor ol
the separation of hese officers This resolution
was freely and fully di-cu-sed and passed, and
eventually found its way into the couri'y papei; oth
er county associations took up the question, and
finally the matter was brought before the State as
sociation, at a time when the Secretary of State was
present, and thoroughly debated ; the consequence
was, that the separation was recommended by the
Secretary in his next report, arid by the Governor
in his message to the Legisiatuie, and a law was
passed separating the offices, and creating that ol
Superintendent of public Instruction. The f..ct is
obvious to every reflecting person that many oiour
school laws were framed by men, however well
qualified they may have been to legislate upon ;
0 her subjects, who know but little about the prac
tical workings ol school matters.
The last thing that I will mention, as an advan
tage to be derived from a Teacher's Association,
is the opportunity it affords teachers and school of
ficers and parents, of coming toge'her, and learn
ing each others views and plans. Parents not un- |
frequently become dissatisfied with the teacher,
from hearing complaints made by some child that
has been made to obey, against his will; this dis
satisfaction continues to increase, because there is
no explanation made, and the parent has heard but
one side. If the parents meet with the teachers
and take part in the discussions, and learn the
methods of teaching and governing adopteJ by those
who have charge of their children—they i\ ill be
less hasty in judging of the right or wrong done to
their children. On the oilier hand, if teachers in
these meetings learn the views of those sending to
school to them, they will be the bet er prepated to
co-operate with them in educating their offspring
Fellow teaches, I have, in an imperfect way,
brought before you a lew of ilis waj s in which a
County Teacher's Association, might be made to
advance the cuu-e of popular educaion. Now.
shall we have such an organizttion in Bradford
County? Its several of the counties of ih s State
they have them already, and have received great
benefit from them. Now we have County Super
intendents, these organizations can be kept up wnh
far less trouble than belore such an office existed.
Why should Bradford be behind any other county
in the State, in her educational movements? Why
should nol the directors, teachers, and friends of
education here, take active measures to improve
the schools as well as in other portions of the
State ?
The proper education ol the youth of the country,
is an object worth laboring for, and iliis object can
not be secured w uhout persevering effort. The con
dition of the schools cannot be materially changed
in one term, or even in one year—it will require
time and patient toil, until the heart is ready to
faint, to make ihern what they should be—but let us
not be discouraged, success will crown the efforts
01 those who persevere in a good cau-e.

AFFECTING ROMANCE. —With the deaths of Dennis
Bryran, the young man who died recently at Mo
reau from having his legs crushed by the cars, is
connected an afleciing bit of romance which has
been related to us as follows:—After his mangled
limb* had been amputated his mind arouses to the
terrible consciousness that he must die, and he im
plored the bystanders to " send for his Lucy.''—
j '• Where is she? I must see her before I die—let
me see her and 1 can die in peace;" were his fre
quent ejacuiaiions and entreaties His parents
were asiced what he meant—if was married—to
which they replied that he was not, and that they
knew nothing ofthe person he named as " Lucy."
Afier his death it came to light iltai he had been
married about three months to a lady belonging to
one of the first families in Lansitigburg His wife's
parents had opposed their marriage on ihe gtound
of his lack of means, and the consequence of this
opposition was, the young couple were clandes
tinely united and their marriage kept a profound
secret. Young Bryan had placed all his earnings,
ssso,in the hands ol his wife,it being their intentions,
when S6OO had been accumulated, to publicly an
nounce their marriage But, alas! the day on
which they intended to thus claim and expected to
receive the forgiveness of offended parents never
arrived.— Whitehall ( Fa.) Chronicle.

NEW ARRANGEMENT.
It EDUCTION IN PI! ICE
Aii experience of fifteen years in publishing
a newspaper, has satisfied us that the Credit
system is radically wrong, both to the Pub
lisher and to the Subscriber. Under its ope
ration a large amount is coustantlv due from
subscribers located in everv part of the cdilll
ty, which at best can be realized only by
waiting years, and in two many cases is ut
terly worthless, the person receiving the paper
having deceased, or left the county, and the
printer has the vexation of finding that he is
not to receive anything for the labor and ex
pense of years. On the other hand, we are
obliged to charge promptly paying subscribers
a sum sufficient to make up these losses.
Having become thoroughly satisfied that
the system of advance payments is better
both for publisher and subscriber, we have
determined to adopt it. Hereafter the 'Re
porter ' will be furnished to subscribers at
ONE DOLLAR per annum, payable iuvaria
bly in advance, and will be sent no longer
than paid for. These terms will be intlex ibly
adhered to.
Those of our present subscribers who are
indebted to us, and wish to avail themselves
of these terms, can do so upon settlement.—
We shall continue to send them the paper
until the close of the present volume, (which
will be about the first of June next,) upon the
original terms, when we shall positively dis
continue sending the paper to every subscri
ber in arrears, and.proceed to collect the am
ount due us.
Subscribers' who have paid in ad vance,and
whose time expires before the close of the pre
sent volume, will have four weeks notice of
the expiration of their subscription.
We sliall give this plan a thorough trial.—
We believe it will meet the approbation of
all those who desire to take, and pay for, a
County paper ; and we are certain it will re
lieve us from many of the vexations and dis
appointments for which the business is pro
verbial. We shall at least have the satisfac
tion of knowing that we have pay for every
paper seut ; and, we trust, of feeling that we
have given to every subscriber the full value
of his Dollar.

subscribers, with the cash, (£o) we will send
the Reporter gratis, one year.
FI.ORA LYNDSAY ; on PASSAGES IN AN EVENTFUL
LIFE — This new work of Mrs. Moodie's is truly a
delightful one. Under ihe light veil of fiction, arid
an assumed name, it is in reality an auto biography
ol the amiable and exemplary woman, our autho
ress herself. Though it bears the stamp of iiu'hon
every page, it exceeds any work of fiction we have
ever read in enduring and ever-varying interest.
In this line of truthlul and simple description.
Mrs. Moodie has no equal, and the whole is enliv
ened by a vein of quiet humor that is really re
freshing. This woik ends where her former work,
" Roughing [tin the Bush," commences.
We have also received from DcWitt fe Daven
port, " LIFE IN THE CIEARINC," by the same au
thoress.
The volume before us contains all the elements
that have contributed to her popularity in her for
mer works, viz.: genius, wit, humor, and pathos;
and her description of the scenery, persons, and
things she saw in a journey through the clearings,
while endeavoring to restore her tailing health, will
richly repay a perusa'. No woik ol fiction is half
as entertaining. The three books—" Roughing It
in the Bush," " Flora Lindsay ," and " Life in the
Clearings " —may be called the au'hor'a Lile His
lories, lor they detail the principal events of her
life up to the present time.
These works are for 6ale at Dr PORTER'S Drug

cations of the day, as well as a large arid beautiful

The Lycoming Gazette says that the Railway
bridge across the West Branch at that place, will

quite the whole length of the break.
—The Railway improvements have waked up
Wifliamsport from its lethargy, and it is becoming
one of ihe most enterprising towns in the Northern

factory at that place, having purchased the site.
—The Tannery of Messrs. Stone & Drake, near

of Philadelphia.
Tlic Order Denying Mr. Sonic a Pas
sage through France Revoked.
In announcing this agreeable intelligence, we
only remark at present, that, so far as we could
learn, it was the opinion off these who had the best
means of forming ajcorrect judgment upon the case,
the refusal oi the French Government to permit
Mr. Soule to enter into France, which, unexplain
ed, certainly appeared to be an act ol dieconrtesy,
and a manilestation of unfriendly sentiments to'
wards the United States, was the result of errone
ous impression, and that, when the mailer was fully
examined, ihe order would be revoked. We are
rejoiced to be able to announce that this expecta
tion has been realized Mr Soule has not only per
mission to enter into France, but has probably al
ready availed himself of it, and is on his return to
Madrid. This information was received by the
last steamer, just in lime to be forwarded to Ihe U
S. unaccompanied by any explanation which allud
ed to it.
Ihe conduct ol Mr. Mason in this delicate and
unpleasant affair has been, it is understood, emi
nently judicious and proper. There was nothin"
in the state of our relations wiih France which could
have justified any act of unfriendliness toward this
country, and we presume that the feature of the
case, strongly marked as it wa when first present
ed, will be removed by the explanations which
probably accompauied the revocation of the decree

views The majority of the lotmar talk about S3
50 a S3 75, while many ol the latter have conclud
ed tp pack 011 their qwu account miher than sell
for less than 64 50.. An improved stage of water
and an easier money market tlvould operate In favor
ol sellers. Of the lormer theie is some prospect s
and if prices ol hogs should settle to what may be
j considered a safe point, or rather if buyers can sal
isfy themselves that the business will p:iy the
I prices that may prevail operators will not want for
1 money. -
The Louisville Journal, of the 14th Inst ,says.-
But little was done in the way of killing until
1 yesterday, when the weather became cold enough
Ito commence active operations. The totalnumber
• killed up to last evening may beset down at 1.5,000
| head There is, we learn, a very great falling off
in weight! A good proportion of the hogs killed do
not weigh more than from 130 10 160 pounds. In
the yield ol lard there is even a greater, tailing off.
j It fall short of last year thus far fully, 30 per cent.
011 heavy corn led hogs.
No sates of consequence have been made, and
opinions a.- regards pricesdiffer very widely. We
understand that contracts have been made for heavy
hogs ( at S3 25gross on time. The scarcity ol money
has a most depressing effect On the market- A
sale or two of light hogs has been made at S3 75
net. These prices do not hold good for heavy corn
fed hogs, winch we think will .command 84 25,
and perhaps SI 50 net on time The killing will,
for tne present, be mostly on owners' account.

BANK ROBBERY AT HARTFORD—HARTFORD. NOV.
18, 1854 —The Windham Bank at Windham, was
robbed last night of 522 000, $7,000 of which was
in specie, and the balance in bills of the bank.—
The robbery was effected by three men, who en
tered the bank eatly in the evening The wa'ch
dog, to prevent alarm, was first poisoned, and
when the clerk who sleeps in the bank entered
about nine o'clock, the robbers gagged anJ bound
him, and one of thein stood over turn with a re
volver, while the others, with crowbars and other
implements, succeeded in opening the safe and se
curing the booty.
The robbers of the Windham Bank, el Windham
Ct., who stole upwards of twenty thousand dollars
were airested on board the steamer Worcester on
Saturday night by the sheriff ol New London
county and his assistants, and sately lodged in Nor
wich prison. Nearly all the money was recovered,
a portion of it, in a carpet bag, being found hid'
under one of the anchors of the steamer.
CINCNINNATI FINANCIAL TROUBLES —We learn
from the Cincinnati papers of Wednesday last, that
lor the two or three days previous, monetary mat
ters in that city have assumed a more settled feel
ing. The Gazette, in speaking o! the houses that
suspended says:
The Citizens' Bank, of Messrs Smead, Coltard &
Hughes, have received checks on themselves in
payment of notes, and thus their liabilities are be
coming rapidly reduced. The creditors of Messrs.
T. S Goodman &, Co , and Ellis & fjturges, have
petitioned their assignee to resign, and permit the
parties themselves lo take charge of the business,
thus exhibiting a degree ol confidence in the integ
rity and ability of the houses that will be fully ap.
preciated by the latter. It is gratifjing to notice
these and other uumistakable signs of returnin°
confidence.
Ozj~ W.H. ARRISON, the man suspecled of the
ihe Superintendent ol the Marine Hospi
tal, in Cincinnati, lasi June, through the means ol
an " infernal machine" sent under the guise of a
present, has been arrested at Muscatine, Towa,
where he was acting as a druggist's cletk. His
trial will soon come off in Cincinnati. His wherea
bouts were made known to the police through the
meansof a letter, which, by mistakp ol the post
office clerk, fell into the wrong hands.
SINGULAR UNANIMITY —The Know Nothings of
Massachusetts will have all the State officers, all
the Senate, and 341 members of the House: but
their power in the latter body will be checked by
the presence of seven antagonists—six Whiss and
one Democrat. A good deal of fun is poked at ihe
latter—he is asked to explain how he proposes to
organize the Democratic Caucus—who will be
its secretary. &c , &c., alter he shall have been
chosen to preside—what committee will conduct
the President to the chair—how the motions will

Fish Cast up from the Sea.
gA cjinau* phenomenon has lately been witness,
ftd in iheWrt Jt Vera Ciuz. For aereral days m
i|e of this month the shore of the harbor

up trnrn ijhtisca. So great was the quantry that
sefious fp were entertained lest some disease

gathered the fish and buried them on the spot. \

A submersion of the intestines and fish in slack

death of the-e fish had arisen from asphyxia, caus

and, in support of his opinion, refers to Humboldt's

Frightful Railroad Accident.
About 6 o'clock this morning a frightful accident
occurred on the Harlem Railroad, in the vicinity of
j Filty-sevenih and Founh-aveuue which resulted in
I many persons being horribly mangled. It seems
{ tiiat a freight train of the New-llavefl Railroad
I broke down last night near Fifty-seventh street, ar.J
i it was left standing on the main track wither.
! taking the least precantion to notily the down trams
l of the obstruction. This gross negligence might
! have resulted in die sacrifice of several hundred
1 human lives, but fortunately no person was killed
i M any, however, received most terrible injuries, anj
several had their legs and arms crushed by the
collision of a Harlem passenger train with the
freight train above alluded to. There was no signal
set to warn the Engh.eer ol the dreadful danger
that awaited him. and his train dashed along at the
usual speed ol about 40 miles an hour until it came
in contact with the heavy freight cars, and a tern
b!e smash up was the consequence. The passen
J izer train in question was the regular 5 o'clock train
! from White Flaws arwi consisted of some dozen
. large cars, all quite crowded with persons residing
I at the different villages alonj the line of the mad
I between New.York and White Plains.
Three of the cars were literally toni'io pieces
and strange ks it may appear, not a single passenger
j icas killed There wetfl some twenty or more wno
were extricated from the ruins with their lirr.b*
| broken, and other injuries of a serious nature
