See to this matter at once. Let every voter
examine the Assessor’s list personally, and if
Ms name is not there, call upm the Assessor
without delay. Many votes are lost at every
election by reason of neglect or carelessness in
this respect Remember that no one who may
be 22 years of age or more, when the eleotion
comes on, can vote without having been assess
ed at least ten days before the election. The
matter must be attended to between this and
Saturday, the 4th of October. After that day
it will be too late.
We perceive by a notice in the Pennsyl
vanian Hint one-half of that valuable establish
ment is offered for sale. The increasing labors
of the editorial department is stated to be the
reason for making this offer to a practical Print
er possessing good business qualifications. Let
ters should be addressed to John W. Fornet,
Esq., Philadelphia.
We learn from the Cleveland Plain Dealer of
the 23d, that the engine Delaware exploded
about six o’clock that morning when about two
miles from the city, killing one engineer, and
seriously injuring the fireman of the same en
gine, and the engineer and fireman of the en
gine Lorain, which had been attached in front
of the Delaware, on account of the length of
the train.
The boiler of the Delaware was thrown for
ward across the tender of the Lorain, and the
Engineer of the latter engine, Mr. Boothsbt,
was caught by the hips between the two boilers,
and almost instantly killed. The two eylinders
were thrown forward over the Lorain, carrying
away her smoke pipe, and landing about four
teen rods from the scene of the explosion. The
driving wheels of the Delaware, were both
thrown over the Lorain, and landed directly in
front of it. The tender of the Delaware was
thrown off the track, and was not much dam
aged. The explosion made tremendous havoo
with track The ground for nne nr tworods
about the Delaware was violently torn up ; the
sleepers were displaced: the rails much bent;
one was thrown twelve or fourteen feet down
the hill. The train was passing around a curve
at the time of the disaster.
“Robert Kyd. or the Witch Fiend." has been
performed to crowded houses during all this
week? and the public interest seems not in the
least to flag. In fact it is well worth seeing.
Fosteu enjoys a wide celebrity for getting up
such pieces as this: and “The Witch Fiend
will not in any manner detract from hiß fame.
The scenes are all highly appropriate: some of
them not to be excelled: the interest in the
piece is kept up throughout: and the parts ore
all well cast. Those who have not seen this
piece, and who visit such places, should by all
means pay the Theatre a visit.

Valuable Information.
A young lady of Philadelphia, while m the

which ran through her shoe and foot The m
and pain were of course very great,
and lock jaw was apprehended. A friend of
the family however, recommended the applica
tion of a beet taken fresh from the garden, and
pounded fine, to tho wound. It was donß, and
the effect was very beneficial. Soon the mfla
mation began to subside, and by keeping on the
' crushed beet,' changing it for a fresh one as its
' virtue seemed to become impaired, a speedy
enfewss effected. Simple bnt effectual reme

RAILROAD DISASTER.
THE THEATRE.
* THE MOSEY MARKET,
AH our accounts, from the East go to show that
business among those who speculate in notes
and stocks, is active,—though the rates
of disoount, for what is called good paper, range
from twelve to eighteen per cent There has
been something of stringency in the market dur
ing a part of the week; but the prospect of a
large amount of gold by the Brother Jonathan
and the Illinois, has induced capitalists to let
their money go a little more freely. The amount
received by these arrivals has been about one
and a half million dollars; while the steamship
Franklin, for Havre, carried out only $782,582, of
which $341,262 was in Aiherican gold, $43,270
in French gold, $48,000 in French silver, $140,-
000 in American silver, and $lBO,OOO in Mexican
silver.
There have been three pretty heavy failures
during the past week:—one in Philadelphia, and
two in New York. The former of these is James
Cassadey & Sons, who are reported as having
failed for a large amount; and it is said that a
valuable farm of theirs, lying in Cecil county,
Maryland, containing 600 aores, has been levied
on to the amount of $55,000. This farm is
valued at $60,000. On it there is one of the
most valuable and extensive peach orchards in
the country, yielding, as we have been told, from
ten to twenty thousand dollars worth of fruit per
annum. This orchard embraces about 300 acres,
and abounds in the choicest fruit. The other
failures were in New York, —Charles King, an
• umbrella dealer, for $70,000, and Messrs.
Cheeseborough, Steams& Co., dry goods jobbers,
for $700,000. The notes of this firm had for
some days been refused; and therefore the an
nonneement did not take the community by sur
prise; nor did it have any serious effect upon
the market.
The Farmers' Bank of Maryland have declar
ed a dividend of three and a half per cent, for
the last six months.
In speaking of the effect produced by the
large shipments of specie, that have taken place
since the Ist of January last from this country,
the New York Journal of Commerce, —one of the
ablest commercial papers in the country,—says
that this circumstance has not been calculated,
in the smallest degree, to cripple the resources
of the country; but, on the contrary, the opera
tion has been highly beneficial; because the ac
cumulation of so large an amount of money in
the country would only have been calculated to
inflate the price of every thing, excite to undue
speculation, and finally lead to an almost utter
prostration, for a time, of all business.
It would seem that since the first of January,
1860, we have produced on our own soil, up
wards of seventy millions of gold, of which
$69,400,000 has been actually deposited for
coinage at our mint. We have imported in the
same time over seven millions of coin and bull
ion from foreign countries, while our exports do
not exceed $41,000,000. If those now toiling
for gold in California were engaged in raising
wheat, and this were to be sent abroad, even 60
as to create a scarcity here, our protectionists
would claim the export os a sign of prosperity.
Why, then, when the same men, instead of a
harvest of wheat, raise a harvest of gold, and
this is shipped, do we hear snch notes of*alarm ?
The best information we con obtain of the ex
portation of specie from New York in the last
eighteen months, shows that these exports have
been $37,683,977, of which only $26,017,830
were in American coin, and only $17,064,784 in
American gold. Comparing this with the $69,-
400,000 coined at the mint in the some time, it
shows that $61,746,219 must be in the country,
in addition to the quantity held bcrc on the first
of January, 1850.
As an item of some interest, we give a state

Col. Bigler's Speech
The Federal hyenas in this place and at Har
risbargb, yclept “ American have discovered a
gross and startling misstatement in the speech
of Col. Bioleii in this City. A mere typograph
ical error makes him refer to an act of the ad
ministration of Governor Porter in 184(1, white
he refers in another paragraph to measures that
these unprincipled partisans know took place
under the administration of Gov. P., and in
which the correct date is given.
Manufacturing establishments in the vicinity
of Trenton, N. J., are running less than one
third time, in consequence of the low state of
water in the Delaware. The river is said to be
lower than it baa been for thirty years.
The iron manufacturing establishments here
aro stopped oneo a year for repairs. &c.: and
whenever this is done, tho Federal presses com
mence telling the People about that - ruin,
which was prophesied to follow the adoption of
the Tariff law of 184 b.. 11 is a wonder that some
of them have not traced the stoppage of the N.
Jersey mills to the same law.

Bloomers in Philadelphia. —The Philadel

of the Bloomer dress in that city. The Inqui

"On Saturday night last there oould not have
been less than twenty or thirty Bloomers in
Cheanut street, between eight and ten o clook.
They were all rccompamed by gentlemen, and
attracted much attention. Indeed, the side
walks were thronged with pedestrians and spec-'
tators. attracted no doubt, by the fact that the
Bloomers are in the habit of promenading on
that street almost every evening. They appear
to bo on the increase, and we are glad to observe
that the annoyances to which they were at first
subjected have now entirely ceased.

The Whig Force at Torentum.
Tabehtum, Sept. 24, 1851.
Messrs, Editors We had a visit from some of
the Whig savans of your city, on Monday even
ing, personified by Thos. M. Howe, George
Dabsie, and other kindred spirits, to enlighten
the eleotors of this vicinity of the necessity of
the election of the whig ticket, and of Johnston
particularly. The programme waß led off by
Mr. Howe, who disowned the idea of being an
orator, not being a professional man; but as he
hod made them a visit, must make a speech.
He stated he did not oome for the purpose of
soliciting an office, but from a feeling of deep
interest in the coming contest, from a desire that
the people of this Btate should be represented by
honest and faithful officers, and not plunged in
bankruptcy and ruin, as it had formerly been
by locofoco legislation. Then followed a long
disquisition on the tariff policy, its dishearten
ing effeots in consequence of low duties, and
their effeot on the price of labor. This was the
only subject of national policy he adverted to,
and even when advocating the rights of labor
and the interests of workingmen, as sustained by
high duties, why did he not tell us of the uncom
primislng hostility of tho whig party to tho la
boring men, by opposing tho ten hour system,
and also keeping the price of labor at the same
standard under whig administration, and high
and low tariffs, irrespective of the promises of
high wages under high tariffs, ‘‘two dollars a day
and roast beef,” and many other deceptive dog
mas, promulgated at every electioneering cam
paign, to make political cnpital for their
party. But tho day has passed for Pennsylva
nians to be deceived by the false and fiimsical
theories of these high tariff agitationists. They
begin to find that the democratic doctrine of fair
and equal protection to every branch of Ameri
can indnstry, will insure prosperity alone to a
nation that has so many diversified interests ns
we have, and as a consequence, to our State,
as an integral part of it. But it is not to the
tariff policy alone that we are to look in the
coming contest; it in fact is a mere nominal
theory in our State elections. But the preser
vation of oar Union is a question that has as
sumed a primary importance, and this question
was not remotely hinted at by any of the speak
ers. Why did they not explain the opinions of
Wm. F. Johnston and Col. Bigler on this ques
tion; one of infinitely more importance at this
time than any other? Because they knew that
Gov. Johnston’s committal in favor of the abo
lition principles of Garrison, Burleigh & Co.,
for the modification of the compromise measures
is losing him votes throughout the State every
day, and hence silence was policy; but they
need not flatter themselves with the idea that ei
ther by silence or raising a false issue they can
avert the defeat that is prepared for them on the
second Tuesday of October, giving a death blow
to disunionism, and establishing our State in
reality what she is in name " the Keystone of the
Union.' 1
Mr. Howe, in the conclusion of his remarks,
referred to Mr. Darsie as next speaker, as one
that could give od account of the corruptions and
frauds (Heaven save the mark) in the State de
partment, having been a member of the Senate
for a number of years. Mr. Darsie rose, and
after bearing witness to the morality andhonesty
of Col. Bigler, remarked, after saying this, it
was all that he could say in his favor. I would
ask what more do the people want than an honest
and moral man for Governor. But. says Mr.
Darsie, (finding he hod said too much, be may
be honest himself, but has not energy to restrain
his party from placing their hands in the Trea
sury ! What logic for a "Senator” to address
to any man of common sense
It is plain that nothing but an indomitable en
ergy and will, such as few men possess; could
have raised Col. Bigler from a poor boy to the
enviable station he now occupies. He next pro
ceeded with on eulogy on Gov. Johnston’s efforts
to rid the State of debt by means of a sinking
fund ; not alluding, however, (as it would not be
to the puiut,) to the sinking fund he was engag
ed in a few years ago, that is, sinking funds in the
Gettysburg!! tape worm and Ktttnnuing Feeder.
He then spoke of Col. Bigler’s bill introduced
into the Senate for creating a sinking fund;
charging Mr. Bigler with a breach of the consti
tution in introducing a bill into the Senate for
tax purposes, which should always originate in
the lower House; also with an attempt to tram
ple on the rights of the widow and orphan by a
tax in this bill on lineal and intcrlineal Inherit
ances, —this and his opposition to a bill regulat
ing and economizing the public printing, ( which
“we" passed,) was about all ho could say in op
position to Col. Bigler. Bui why did he not tell
us of those frauds and corruptions which occurred
during his Senatorial term adverted to, by Mr.
Howe? Was it from tho fact that the wbigs lor
a number of years maintained ascendency,
and therefore became responsible ; or, was it to
save the feelings of the Democracy ? He next
spoke of the claims of " honest” John Strohm
for Canal Commissioner. ilis only claims ap
peared to be his reputed honesty. Mr. Darsie
asked tho Democrats to support him, us there
were two Democrats already on the Board: and
there could bo no danger in electing an “honest
whig.” But 1 have an idea that the Democrats
will differ from him. In speaking of Seth (/lo
ver, Mr. Darsie stated that ho knew nothing of
him, but that ho knew his brother to be political
ly dishonest, and drew an a-gument from this
that Seth Clover should not be elected. This
was more of the Senator's logic to make punish
ment and crime hereditary, almost as bad os tax
ing lineal descents, or iu other words oppressing
the poor widow and orphan! Mr. Darsie con
cluded with an appeal for the whigs to turn out,
—he said there was reviving news from the cast.
Lancaster promises 0.000 majority. Berks will
lessen her loco majority, and now says he, I
have pledged Old Allegheny for 3.000 majority.
But wo will see after the election how tho pledge
has been redeemed.
Mr. Appleton, a candidate for Assombly, next
took the floor. Ho said something about repub
lican governments—of being at school at Mead
villo and hearing an anecdote about how they
worked it on the oanal—of the tariff, building a
Railroad m the eastern part of this State, ex
cavating ore from the hill side for grading the
track and laying British rails on it, &c , Ac. He
also stated that the coining contest would cflwct
the next Presidential canvass: that James Buch
anan was nomiuated by tho Democratic party (a
fact I was not conversant with) and that Scott
would probably be the whig candidate, and if
the election was against Johnston, it would ope
rate against Scott. He also understood from his
"Father ' that Buchanan was opposed to the
war of 1812. notwithstanding Mr. B. shouldered
his musket, and fought in that war. This was
the tenor of his remarks as far as I could under
stand them. After he concluded, the meeting
adjourned to meet again to form a Whig Club for
the Borough. \ERIIAS.

On Wednesday, the 24th mst.. I had the
pleasure of attending an examination of the pu
pils belonging to the Kittanning Female Semi
nary- The exeroises were of a very interesting
nature- and the scholars evinced a knowledge of
tho different branches of learning in which they
had been instructed, highly creditable to them
selves and their teaohers. os well as most grati
fying to their parents and friends.
Of Grammar. History. Philosophy. Chemistry
and Botany, they displayed a knowledge at once
profound and aoourate. and not only demonstra
ted their ability to acquire learning, but also
established- beyond all doubt, the foot that for
some time past "the Schoolmaster had not been
abroad. &
It was not my good fortune to bo present at
the exercises in musie. in the evening, but those
who were, inform me that it was a noh treat;
and that in the execution of difficult pieces,
some of the young ladies displayed musical tal
ent of the highest order.
This Institution is under the control of the
Rev. Mr. Killikelly. assisted by Miss Bell, and
Dr. Anger, professor of music and the . French
language. The teaohers are individuals ol fin
ished education: and by devotion to the great
cause in whioh they ore so successfully engaged,
have won the respect and confidence not only of
their pupils, but also of the entire community
in which they reside.
The Kittannmg Female Seminary is situate
on the bank of the Allegheny river : and for
beauty ofsoenery. location and health, is unsur
passed by that of any other institution in the
country.
Parents who desire to give their children an
education, both useful and finished, would do
well to plaee them in oh&rge of the Rov. Mr.

ARNOLD-HUGE TO KARL HEINZEN.
[OGSCLODED.]
Dear Feiend and Editor :
What shall the good Saxon say to tiiis relapse
into the condition of Russian Poland ? He has
hitherto held the court for harmless, but now, the
King and hip government advance against him,
day by day, with increasing bitterness, as his
envenomed foes. The King and his government
rely upon Austria; Austria relies upon Russia;
and Russia relies upou the hope that stupidity
will retain the mtyority in Europe. We must
conoede to the governments that they, upon
their side, have honestly held to the principle
of their majority, particularly in Hesse and the
Hessian affairs. Hassenpflug is a splendid
Bt&ndard bearer. He excels Metternich, Schwar
zenberg and Manteuffel, so far, that we must
wish him in Vienna or Berlin. His last order,
that “no servant of the State shall bring into
question the legality of any ordinance, under
penalty of court martial ” is classic.
There is no species of stupidity to whioh a
judgment were not accessible through Hassen
pflug and Hesse. And what merit has not Has
aenpflug won for himself by so completely un
masking Prussia? Have you not observed how,
since the Hesse and Bronzell business, the heo
toring of Prussia has ceased, and her cunning
has shone out before the whole world as mere
dall-headedness? Her aping, the attitude of
a great power vanished; and Manteuffel saw
at once that he must re-enter his own proper
field, the exercise of petty governmental tricks,
and givo over Europe to the Cabinet of St. Pe
tersburgh. He has forbidden the gardens
where children were wont to play: he turns the
travellers pockets inside out: he has restored
the provincial assemblies. Indeed? And by
what means does he continue to reign? With
the mugnificent ?* It is outraged and over
whelmed with shame. With the police? Will
it fight ? The dishonesty and the frivolity of
the Prussian government are surpassed only by
its utter stupidity. The people is inane,
bat it is ambitious and jealous of its honor; from
olden times it has been prepossessed against
Jesuitism ; it has long deemed itself free from
the haughty nobles, and it will not submit to
them again. Thus have democrats been made in
those very places where the stupor might have
lasted for a long time.
The country and the cities have both been
“Red" for six months past, and that, as you
would wish to see them, and from shame and
extortion, from religious oppression to .the per
secutions of police, no means have been left un
tried by which to harden and prepare all minds
for a tremendous and univental insurrection.
Men are so far from prostration and despair
that they are even looking forward with great
tranquillity to the next outbreak. They are
bargaining for the triumph; aye, but they are
already determining upon more than that, viz:
turning it to positive account. Palmerston's
warnings will neither in Berlin nor yet in Vienna
hold back the car in which Monarchy and its
accomplices ore rushing down towards the
abyss.
Vienna, capital of thy German Republic, thou
art in the hands of tihne executioners! Vienna,
Berlin, Italy, ore all but one affair, all present
but one and the same condition of things. Ev
erywhere, armies quartered in the midst of a
populace who gnash their teeth with lury. The
tortxlh of the nations is certain—the armies are
not. Neither Berlin nor Italy are mentally sub
dued. Vienna is much less so—and Hungary
impatiently awaits tho hour of vengeance. The
suburbs of Vienna are regarded ns hostilo cities.
Thev are constructing a fortress between the de
pots' of the two railways which lead to Pesth
and Poland. Fourteen ranges of barracks have
already been erected ; cannon and all the mate
rials nf warfare arc heaped together; and re
nctiouary Sclavonic regiments are stationed
there. But the Revolution lives in the hearts of
men ; and every fresh deed of violence only
serves to intensify the spirit of revenge, which
is more restrained than in Italy, but which has
reached the same point of elastic vigor. The
condition of Austria is tho clearest and simplest
Nothing but its geographical position, and the
policy of the.nhrCTCdehtreTolutloiiary party, hin
ders amf delays the immediate eruption of this
j vast and comprehensive volcano,
i The Italians am most artfully and skilfully kept
under by the unnatural alliance of Franco and
Austria. But Radetzky’s proclamations give the
best evidence of the spirit of the people, and the
Pope’s attempts at flight show who is tho real
master of Romo. Depend upon tho “Santa
vendettaof Italy! Some over-hasty acts
have preceded it; but they exhibit, even in their
rashness, an indestructible discipline, pervading
the whole uprising nation. RadeUky and his
: army must perish You will accuse me of nj
j treason to my country liko the uoble Oagern.
while 1 repeat this “ceterum ccnseo;” nay, but,
so soon as yoft comprehend, I should say, per
ceive, the symptoms which are manifesting them
f selves everywhere, you will see the grave open
! ing that is to swallow up tbe&o savage hordes.

I Another thing worthy of remark is the cora
j pletc change of feeling among the rural popula
lation of Franco. Paris was alwnys considered
! all in all, and thorefore Paris particularly was
i decimated, and has since boon, mentally, held in
! bondage by the Counter-revolution. It has lost
| all its democratic papers. Now, wo no longer
I hear what Paris thinks and feels; we do hear
; voices which speak in Its name, but which are al
together foreign to it. We know what this noble
city thinks and feels—it is threatening and fate
ful for those only who are deceived. Two things,
however, result to Paris, from the past, as dis
advantages—tho Beets engendered in its bosom
by the various systems and system-makers of
Socialism, and the old dignities with which the
machine of government sull tuxes iL All this
i decayed trumpery must disappear in the next
I movement- Be not deceived, neither bv Blan
i qui s military dictatorship, nor by tho intrigues
of the royalists, nor by tho plans of the crafty
and skilful, who will not hold fast to the stand
ard of principle. Tho actual state of things is
simply this: “Tho masses of tl»o Capital and the
Departments will maintain tho Republic intact,
and will mako reparation for their Burnings
; against their own nation and sister nations. I
! need uot tell y»»u what number and what name
is inseparably bound up in this great national
I feeling : much less that this lustinct is perfectly
i correct. An isolated Republic is no Republic at
all. and how exactly tho instruction which tho
people of Germany and Italy havo had forced
upou them since 1848. corresponds with the spir
it and feeling of tho Frenoh i
Every nmn will be oonsidorod a tnutor who,
in our o&mp. does not reoognizc tho solidarity
(oneness, identity) of all nations, of their revo
lutions and of their Republics: Long live the
United Ropubhcs of Europe!
In such a tension of mind, shall we reaoh tho
year 1802 r
Will tho Counter-revolution break down before
a revulsion is effected even m France j
The Prussians and the Austrians are not a whit
more free in their movements, than the Freuch
Counter-revolution. They are, all aliko, in the
hands of the people. Nothing remains to them
but to await tho popular decision without moving
from hour to hour. They are arming, they are
fortifying themselves. They will defend them
selves. of course: but they venture not into the
lion a den. The lion will come upon them and t nil
devour them.

Catherine Hayos* porson&l appoaranoe is
desonbed as follows m the New York Mirror;
Whatever may be tho musical talents of La
Bella Katrina-” a glanoe at her person assures
us that she is a womau of extraordinary genius.
Her figure is rather above the medium, full and
well “finished up.” os the artists would Bay, to
the hues of beauty- Her hair is exuberant, our-*
ling, and of a rioh auburn color; m the sunlight
it would be golden. She has a large, soft, ceru
lean eye. a good-natured mouth, and a smile as
radiant aB sunshine. In her conversation she
betrays a pleasant mt, combined with tho enthu
siasm peculiar to her oountrymen. She is just
such a woman as must have sat to Tom Moore,
when he painted the fair daughters of Erin—
All the portraits of “the Swan" represent
her with an expsession of sadness, a sort of
weeping-nnd-willowy look, as if she were listen
ing to the broken wailings of the Harp of Tara:
but a more lively, joyous, sunny face, we have
seldom seen, while her spirits seem to flow and
overflow, in animated sympathy with everything
that is bright, and good, and beautiful around
her. Take her. as Shnkspeare would say. for
all in all. she is a flush pattern of womanhood
—body, mind and soul. Her warm manners
wu* olease the Americans: and unless the foreign
press overrate her vocal powers, she will make
a Bensation. and meet with a success second only
to Jenny Lmd. 1

not so. For when once a disease is contracted, and
through neglect in applying the proper means irtecomes
