From the Phila. Argus, Nov:23.
BENDY 3. STAHLE-- , Tun ADAMS DRMODRACY.
—Our excellent and worthy friend, H. J. Statile,
of the Gelipbure, Compiler, dropped in upon
us yesterday, with cheering intelligence from
the Adams Democracy, who bore thethselves
iSta gallantly in the recent contest, and contrib
uted .so largely to our triumph. Mr. Stahle's
present visit is on an ecrand characteristic - of
the man, and at Ile - same time expressive of
the sentiments of the gallant Democracy of
Adams. Every one who ever reads the Com
piler, knows how staunch and true and un
flinching it is: and when told that the De
mocracy of Gettysburg have recently lost "Old
Penelope"—the old cannon they have been in
the habit of firing for the last forty years, on
the occasion of Democratic victories—it will
surprise nu one to learn that our country
confrere is on the hunt of another, with a good
round sum in his- pocket to pay for it ; and
agreeably to instructions . given him in setting:
out on his pilgrimage, he is determined to have
a good one—a brass one—one that can talk.
"Old Penelope" was burst on Tuesday week,
in firing a salute iii honor of recent Democratic
triumphs. We say unhesitatingly that the
Democrats of Gettysburg loved that gun. - She
had done their talking many a year, and a
jollification - was nothing unless "Old Pen" was
abbot- They loved her not only for her good
qualities, but fur what she had suffered in their
behalf. We think it was in 1844, just before
- the election, that somehow she was taken from
tinder hick and key by somebody" to the owners
unknown ;" but no sooner did the news of her
disappearance spread among the Democrats of
the town, than they assembld, and on the spot
subset ibed about 8100 fur the purchase of
another. Before the Committee, however, were
ready to depart to procure the gun thus order
ed, -Old Pen" was found at the bottom of a
neglected well, in an out-of-the-way part attic
town. Instantly the drum and life struck up—
the Democracy assembled in mass--and in half
an hones tine she was hoisted out of the well,
and placed upon stout poles, carried around the
Court-house on - the shoulders - of rejoiced and
rejoicing, Democrats, to the lively — strains — of
martial music. It was a happy time, which
fe_w sitared its excitementwilLe_v_e_r_farget,2
She has since then assisted the Democrats in
exulting over many a brilliant triumph: but
most glorious of allure those over which she
lias recently had occasion to thunder. She
lived - to see .ildatas county Densticralic, and
ended her days in giving expression to her joy.
We wish our friend Stahle abundant success
in procuring a successor to -old Penelope."
Dr. KANE'S EXPEDITION.—The Washington
Union, speaking of the charts of-the expedition
in search of Sir John Franklin, says they.show
a larger range of discovery than had been an
ticipated from the preliminary report :
••Many have been exhibited to the Secretary
of the Navy, and suljected to the National Ob
servatory and Coast. Survey. Dr. lane has
evidently material in reserve. The area of the
open sea, by a careful revision of the work,
has been found to exceed four - thousand miles,
or more than one thousand in excess of the
original estimate. This large body was abso
lutely and entirely free from ice. The scientific
materials of the expedition will be-Putilished
under the direct charge of Dr. Kane, who hali
been - detailed for that duty by the Navy De
partment. The Smithsonian Institute and
Coast- Survey have both volunteered their aid
in furtherance of this object."
