MORNING POST JOB OPPICM
We would call tbe attention of MERCHANTS AND
BUSINESS MEN to the fact that we bare juxt received
from Philadelphia a number of fouts of Dew Job Typ>*, and
are now prepared to fill orders for Cards, Circulars, Bill
Heads, Paper Books, Posters, aDd Programmes for exhihi
tioas. All orders will be promptly filled-
4®- Persons leaving the city during the nmnner, who de
tire Vie daily or weekly /’!«.' forward*! to them, can have it
done regularly for any specified time, Uy leamng (heir or
ders and acLlrcss ai the afire, corner of Fifth and HW
streets. .
Tbo undersigned will pay tho above reward to
any one who will prove satisfactorily that ho is
now, or ever was, a member of tho secret politi
cal order commonly called Know Nothiugs.
Three referees to decide it, upon hearing all the
testimony.
As there are a few “rats” about town who
have assorted that we have “oecn Sam,” wo
now give thorn a chanoe to either prove the fact
and be paid for it, or bo proven liars, as they
are. Oar partner is absent on a journey, or be
oould safely make a similar offer.
Remarks. —Tho above offer is not made be
cause we have any apprehensions in regard to
our own position ; but for the purpose of proving
the falsehood of a few scamps about towu.
If any man says wo are a Know Nothing, just
tell him to prove it, and get the $OOO. If ho
declines doing so, tell him he lies. Tho above
offer is of oourso based on tho principle that a
man oannot bo a member of the order without
his knowledge or consent.
Here is a chance for fun and a speculation.
But it won't pay. If any one wishes to try it,
however, he oan go ahead. The terms and pre
liminaries shall bo arranged all right, and tho
money will be sure to bo paid whon gained. Go
ahead, boys, tho offer is a liberal one. There is
ho trouble in getting the proof, if we are, or
ever were a member.
At Norfolk the yellow fever ia abating.
New Jersey and Delaware papers say that the
peaoh orop was never more abundant
Judge Mason, our Minister to France, ia said
to have nearly recovered bis health.
The Middlebury Register eavs the crops in
Vermont this year will be large beyond prece
dent.
It iB said that four dollars per day is held to
be moderate harvest wages in Wentworth, C. W.
In York county tho farmers arc paying Califor
nia wages also.
The pro slavery men at Atchison, in Kansas,
have lately caught an abolitionist and publicly
whipped him. They then got up a public meet
ing and ordered him to leave iu an hour, lie
loft. His name was Kelly
The Washington Star says an impression pre
vails ia Washington City, that lion Win. PriS
tou, of Louisville, Ky., will have the place of
Minister tendered to him vrbcu made vacant by
Mr. Buchanan’s intended resignation
The Supreme Court baa refused a new trial to
Dr. Be&lo, the Philadelphia deutint. Judge
Black was the only one in favor cf granting a
new trial. Tho Doctor will have to serve out
his term.
Mr. Hornbergor forbade Mrs Collier to draw
water from his well at Jonesboro', !!! , and or
dered her off, but she returned with a knife an<J
Btabbod him several times. He then seized the
knife and killed her. His own wounds are mor
tal.
Many of our exchange papors assert that an
armed invasion of the northern states of Meiico
is rapidly organizing in Texas, and that a large
portion of tho Mexican population will join the
invaders. It is but a rumor.
The census of Beaton, it is new said, will foot
up 160,000, showing an increase of about 2 -i.LHK)
iu five years.
“The oensus of Chicago has just been taken.
Tho present population is 87,600; last Novem
ber U was 60,140 —increase in 6evcu months,
27,000. The number of new buildings erected
during the last year was 2,000, many of them of
the first class. There are now 138 vessels be
longing to that port."
There may be some mistake about the last
item abovo. It seems hardly possible that the
population of Chicago can have increased 27,000
in seven months.
THE TEST.—WHY WE UIU’ST
We have been asked why we did not vote for
the “ test" in the last meeting of the Democratic)
Qommittee. We answer :
Ist. We had - all aoted as a Committee to the
end of our term, and it seemed an absurdity, as
our last aot, to endorso our own good faith and
purity. Self-wbite-wasbiDg Is of little avail at
any time, and in this instance it seemed wholly
nooalled for. Hence we voted against it.
2od. If we would apply the same test gener
ally wo would prevent any Democrat, who might
have joined the K. N.’s and got siok of it, from
coming back into tho ranks of our party. Wo
want them all baok, and would not prevent tbeir
ooming. Such a proscriptive policy would bo
utterly absurd. Hence we voted against it.
3d. A member of the Committee, who was
also a member of the Protestant Association, ob
jected to the test in tho form in which it was
presented, beoauso it appoared to strike as di
reotly at the Protestant Association as at the K.
N’a. Was it not bad policy to produce such an
impression? We thought so. Hence wo voted
against it.
4th. Party reasons wero stronger with us than
personal reasons, and wo would vote for nothing
we considered wroDg, for fear of being misun
derstood or maligned. We arc not in tho habit
of taking counsel of our fears. Hence we voted
against It, and would do so again .
Two German citizens, one of them a Catholio
and the other a Protestant, voted with us. Three
native born oitiiona also voted with os. If wo
were wrong so wero they. But ** wo took the
responsibility,” and did aa wo thought right and
proper. And now enough about ourselves. Wo
havo nothing more to say on the subject.
Fusion.— No party in existence has oH'erod to
fuse with the Democrats for their fall election.
Months ago the leaders of what remains of the
Whig party had resolved on the Republican
movement that is now started. Wo had then,
and have now no choice but to stand alone And
we havo no objootions to doing so.
With harmony and vigorous exertions we can
win this fall. There will be three parties in the
field. Many Whigs are joining us already, and
many more will come.
Failbd. —We understand private despatches
have been in tho hands of our Bankors for sev
eral days, stating that the Farmers’ Bank of
Knoxville, Tennessee, had gone to pot, broke
fiat

Dawson for Vol. 1 and 2 of the Patent Office

THE NEWS.
ALLEGHENY CITY AND THE CON
NELLSVILLE RAILROAD.
An ordinance or bill is now pending in the
Councils of Allegheny City to subscribe $250,-
000 to the stock of the Pittsburgh and Connolls
ville railroad. It ought to pass. Allegheny will
bo as much benefitted by that road aa Pitts
burgh, and Pittsburgh - has subscribed half a
DtUlion to its Btock. Can’t Allegheny do half as
muoh ?
Auy one looking at a map of the United States 1
Kill easily see that the Pittsburgh and Connells* j
villo road is Baltimore’s route to the whole lake j
region of tho northwest —the shortest, easiest j
and most practicable route. And how so ? By |
the Baltimore and Ohio road to Cumberland :
by tho Pittsburgh and Connellsville foad to
Pittsburgh: Then, crossing into Allegheny, by
the Ohio and Pennsylvania road to Cleveland,
Chicago and tho whole northwestern and lake
regions. Its travel and trade then will pass
through Allegheny City, and be thrown upon tho
railroad that Allegheny claims as peculiarly her
owu. Vet some members of the Councils of
tint city oppose any subscription to the stock
of this road. We behove, however, that a ma
jority will bo found in its favor.
Tho road is progressing rapidly, and 13 well
managed ; but more funds will be wanted. As
a community we are in for it and must push it
through, and tho sooner the better. And will
it not pay J Thero can bo no duubt of it. Tho
single fact that wc have mentioned that it is
BiltimDvf'rf route to tbo noTthwest insures its
success. Baltimore will be ono of Pittsburgh’s
best markets, and our trade over the road will
bo large. Tbo road runs through a rioh agricul
tural, mineral and lumber region, and itß local
business will equal that of any other of our
roads. It cannot fail to pay when oompletod,
and we believo its construction is now entrusted
to skillful aud faithful hands.
Allegheny u not too poor to help in so good a
DEMOCRACY ALIVE
Those' who are disposed to bo disoouraged
about tho prospeots of tho Democratic party
should read such items as the following. They
show that already the tide is turned, anil that
the re action is everywhere in favor of the De
mocracy. All over the country, where elections
have occurred lately, tho same cheering news
greet us. All over the country, too, we find
the Democrats disposed to abide by their owu
organization, ao : to nominate good and pure
tickets, and support them zealously and fear
lessly. It is tho right spirit, aud will commend
our cauße to all good eUiEens.
In lowa last year the Democrats were badly
beaten, but bohoid tbo result this year in several
localities of that State, from which we have the
official roturns :
Jefferson county, lowa, which last fall gave
HM fusion majority, has jast elected a full Dem
ocratic ticket by -10 majority.
At a late election iu Keokuk, lowa, the Demo
cratic candidates bad mpjoritios ranging from
;>4 to 104, or an average of 58. In April lost,
the Know Nothings carried tho city by 2ul tmi
j ! 'rity.
In Davenport, lowa, at the reoeul election,
there was a Democratic majority o.f 160. The
whole county (Scott) gave an average Democrat
ic majority of about 100. In April last, fusion
and Know Nolbmgisra had 360 majority in the
county
Let it be remembered, too, that in all the
Southern State?, except one, where tho election*
have been held this year, the Democrat* have
triumphed Virgi'ji i, North Carolina, Alabama,
Tennessee nod Texan have elected Democratic
Governors. Iu Georgetown, D C , the result
was as foiiowa .
On the D.:h imrt the municipal electiou of
Georgetown, D C , came o*l The Know
Nothings polled 241 votes t heir opponents 2U>
At ih*' election for Mayer a few months ago the
Know Nothing candidate was elected by ]'•». ma
jority. 1•> not that a*• tnmUc down ’
AuJ so it g -i'-'i wherever elections occur
From all quarters we learn that Democrats, who
had joined the secret order, are ccming out and
joining our ranks ngaiu. And wo leoru, too,
that tnaDy Whigs are coining into our ranks
With such good omen* to cheer us what cause
have we for anything but courage and hope, and
what need have wc uf '-iuston In nearly
every county in the State the Democrats are
nominating fuF DemnoratiC tickets, and g-.vd

Uriperate Attempt at Highway Robbery
—One Robber Killed, tud two other*
Wounded
Last night, about half-past eight o'clock, a
bold attempt was made, by tbreo Germans, to
rob a Swiss watch pedlar, named Joseph Taylor,
whom they had decoyed from New York to
Auntcr's Poiut, Qaeens county, near the Flush
ing Railroad depot, which resulted In one of
the robbers being killed, and the uther two
woundod.
The following aro the circumstances Yes
torday afternoon, tho pedlar callod into a drink
ing saloon somewhere in tho Eleventh ward of
Now York, and offered four gold watohes for
sale, he having arrived In this oountry about
two weeks since. Three Germans told the ped
lar that they knew where ho oould disposo of
his watches to good advantage, aud accordingly
took him to Hunter’s Point, where they arrived
about eight o’clook. in orossing some vaoaut
lots in a secluded place, the Gormans attaoked
the pedlar and Bucccedod in gotting him down,
aud whilo they were upon him, he drew a knife
and succeeded in stabbing them all.
Ono of the party received three wounds—one
under the oollar-bono, causing his death iu about
ten minutes. The other two men ran away.
Tho Swiss then went to tho toll-bridge, and re
lated tho facts as woll ns he could, and while
doing so ono of the men came up, and was ar
rested by the bridgo-tender, and handed over to
offioor Mink, ot the Beventb police district, who
conveyed him and the pedlar to the station-houso
at Green Point. The prisoner gave his name as
William Green ; that of the man killed as Thay
ber Dyer, and that of tbo other who esoapod as
Charles Myers. The Seventh district polioo
were in searoh of Myers noarly all night, and
took measures to prevent his crossing over to
Now York. This morning Assistant Captain
Brace, of tho Beventh district polioo, discovered
a quantity of blood under one of the dirt cars
near where the occurrence took plaoe, where it
is supposed Myers secreted himself during part
of the night
The prisoners were yesterday removed to
Queens oovmty, where an investigation will take
place.
A (Idmonal Foreign Item* by the America
aud Union.
Tbe mails by tho steamer America at Boston,
and the Union at New York, bring interesting in
telligence from Europe.
Tbe war uews is scant. Vast preparations are
in progress for some terrible blow in which tho
whole strength of tho two great nations, Franoo
and England, will be put forth.
Nows from Sebastopol says tho Allies are
within 40 yards of tho ambuscades, palliaadcs,
&c., of the Russians, in front of the flalakoff.
Between these ambuscades and the Malakoff is
a further distance of 170 yards which the Allies
must run in making tho assault. From tho am
| buscades and tho mouths of the trenchos Rub
i aians and French shoot each other point blank.
| This trench labor may bo considered, therefore,
as noarly at an end.
An article in the Moniteur looks as if it wore
preparing tho public mind for the probability of
such an event as raising the siege. It sayß:
“ Without entering upon military considera
tion or details of operations whiob would be here
out of plaoe, we may observe on the important
part whioh Kamieach may be called upon to plaj
in the Crimean war, as a possibility which must
strike every mind. Now that it is assured of
such a formidable basis of operations, the army
has perfeot freedom of movement, whioh it had
not at the beginning of the campaign. In evory
possible contingency the possession of Kamiesoh,
fortified as it now is, will aid in tho accomplish
ment of the object with whioh tho war in tho
Crimea was undertaken. Sebastopol, command
ed by Kamicsch, which holds it so to speak, by
the throat, oan never honeeforth be of any use
to the Cxar. On tho supposition that events
should call the army to fresh points of tho Rus
sian territory, who does not see that tho pre
sence of a few French and English ships at
Kamiesoh would suffice to nullify tbe eutire of
fensive power of Sebastopol? Therefore, the
possibility of the mobilization of the Allied army
and of the nvlhjication of Sebastopol are tho two
grand results of the transformation of Kamiesoh
iato a place of war. It is cow the sentinel—the
keeper of the Russian citadel * * * France
now knows that without abandoning its conquest
it may at will send an army of 180,000 men to
auy point where tho glorious oauso for which it
is fighting by the Didc of England may call for
tbeir service."

be an uninterrupted line of railway communica
tion between the Fnlla of 8t Anthony, on tho
Mississippi, and the Gulf of Mexico, a distance
of some twelve buudred For raoat of the
distance it appears the work is already commen
ced, ns appears by the following summary, con
densed from Ibo ri&tetucnl to which we have re
ferred, which wo find in tho Chicago Press :
“ From New Orleans to Memphis. S'jo miles,
the road bus becu in progress for three years,
and is now nearly finished. Bo far it ia in the
hands of distinct companies—the first owning
from Now Orleans to Cantou, Mias , the second
from that point Miss , and the third
thence to Memphis
At this point the rc<rj crosses tbo river to
Arkansas, through which State it passes seven
ty miles, and a company has been organized for
its construction.
“ From Arkansas, passing the Iron Mountain
of Missouri to the city of Bt. Louis, a distance
of 220 miles, the line is under tho oharge of
the St. Loots and Iron Mountain Railroad Com
pany, who have purchased O.OtX) tone of rails,
and arc making preparations to run their engine
on the road this year
“ From Bt. Louis to St. Charles. Missouri,
twenty miles, the North Missouri Railroad is
finished.
“ From that point to Keokuk, lowa, one hun
dred and forty miles, tho lino is under tho charge
of the Mississippi Volley Railroad North Com
pany, organized at Hannibal, Missouri, in June
last. The dependence of the company is upon
an expected grant of the credit of tbe Btato of
Missouri to Ibe extent of $2,000,000 at tbe uext
session of tbo Legislature. Considering tho
slow progress of the Pacific Railroad through
Missouri, the compnny are not exactly sure of
obtaining tho anticipated credit.
“From Keokuk to Muscatine, seventy-five
miles, tho,lino is surveyed, and the portion from
Keokuk to Montrose is now advortisod for oon
tract; whilo from Muscatine to tho lowa river,
twenty miloH wool, the road is expected to ho
finished on tho first of January, 1866. Musoa
tiuo and Davenport arc expected to bo uaited by
a railroad communication cn the fifteenth of
September proximo, by tho road going north
from MusoaKno twclvo miles and forming a
junction with the Davonport road, twenty-flvo
miles of which, to the junction, aro expected to
be in operation on tho twenty-fifth of the presont
month, whilo tbe ongino is now running more
than half that di9tanco from Davenport.
“An extension of the line from Maeoatino to
Dubuque is proposed, eoventy five miles, for
whioh no provision has yet been made. The
Minnesota road, from Dubuquo to the Falls of
St. Anthony, (about 200 miles,) the northern
end of the Mississippi Valley Railroad, (whioh
Minnesota road is to be extended north to Lake
Superior,) is provided for by an organixed oom
pany of New York capitalists, having $10,000,-
000 subscribed, and $lOO,OOO now lying in tboir
treasury."

, room with red curtains. His answers to the
questions of tho authorities showed bis content
ment under all shades of fortuno. The justice
being also In a genial humor, was inclined to
banter tho disciple of Ben Franklin, and accor
dingly addressed him as follows :
Judge—Well, Mr. Take, it seems you Lave
thrown aside the “ composing stick’ ” and gone
to getting drunk for a living. I’m afraid you’re
a “ bad case ” and stand in noed of “ correcting.”
I think I shall send you to “quod.”

qo “galleys” in this country, or I suppose
you’d put mo tbore, and well “ leaded ” at that.
But bless you, Sir, going to jail’s nothing; the

him to ohew tobacco, besides inventing three

better than setting “solid minion,” more than
three-quarters “ figure work ” and getting only a

I'd a groat deal rather go to jail ten days than
uot. I've got siok of work just now, and I’ll
have a chance to got the bile off my stomach.
Judge—You seem do take it easy; how do
you propoßO to employ your timo this trip ?
Prisoner—Well, Corporal, I’m undecided
whether I’ll learn to whistle the opera of the
“Bohemian girl,” practice standing on my head,
or undertake to acquire the elegant accomplish
ment of balancing straws on my nose ; if I
could get a cat I’d teach her to play the fiddle,
if I thought the strings wouldn't remind her un
pleasantly of intestinal discords, after her feline
body had been nine times slain.

him ’prentice to tho typo sticking trade, but the
first day he quarreled with the regular “ devil,”
knocked over tho “ bank, ” pulled a “ form off

he dropped tho “shooting-stick” into tho “alliga

CSP" We invite attention to thy following
statement of the case of John Freeman, which
wo find in the Gaz/ile Tho benevolent are ap
peal od to for aid.
John Fhkkuas. —Appeal hi the Umrvolmt.
—John Freeman, a man of color, is at present in
tbifl city, and is desirous of receiving pecuniary
aid from those who have a heart for liberty, and
who with tho colored man iu tho
many trials and oppressions to which his race is
suljeoted in onr slavery-aocoreed land. Mr.
Freeman lour readers wiil remember the case )
wa9 the suhjvot of a most villainous prosecution
by a slaveholder in Indianapolis iu 1n>:; We
propose to make a brief statement of the case :
Mr. Freeman was a muoh respected oltizen of
Indianapolis, Indiana, for many years; where
by industry he acquired a small property, in the
enjoyment of which bo lived unJistorbed until
about tho month of July, 1853 when Pleasant
Kiliogton, u citizen of Missouri, claimed him as
hia slave, and Instituted suit accordingly, stating
that Freeman bad escaped from him, while be
Islington) was a resident of Kentucky. He
then caused the imprisonment of Freemau for
sixty eight days, during most of which tirao the
U 8. Marshal required of tho prisoner three
dollars per day for guarding him, positively re
fusing to take bail, in any amount, though of
fered to tho amount of half a million.
Several of the oitixens of Indianapolis, oon
viuced that Freeman never had beeu a slave, in
terested themselves in hia behalf; and letters
were written to Georgia, whero Freeman had
formerly resided. Citizens of that Ftato for
warded tho most conclusive evidence of his free
dom, bat Ellington persisted in urging kisolaim,
which made it necessary to call othor witnesses
from Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky. • And to
the credit of those generous Southerners it must
be said, they promptly responded to tho call of
Freeman, and came to his relief. The peopie of
Georgia, concerned in the mattor, have shown
themselves worthy of tho land in which Meade
successfully labored.
Freeman was finally discharged, but all his
means had boon abaorbod in asserting his free
dom, and be still found a largo balanoe against
him. Tho total amount of his expenses on tho
•Uh of January, '54, was $1,238. Under theso
circumstances, Mr. Freeman determined to ap
peal to the friends of liberty, and they bavo
manfully ootne to hia aid. Many citizens of
Georgia nobly contributed. Tborc are still
somo $3OO to be paid, and wo earncotly hopo
that amount will bo made up in our city. Let
Pittsburgh havo the honor of cancelling that
Load. Thoro aro hearts and pookola in our
m:dst ever open to tho ory of tho distressed, and
w confidently appeal to them in bobalf of this
unfortunate sufferer for oolor'e sake

Will Sebastopol be Taken 1
Wc publish is our columns to day tho transla
te n of an artiolo under this head, published by
the Invalidt Ruase. This paper may bo suppos
ed to apeak by the authority of the Russian gov
ernment, and therefore the artiolo in question is
in the highest moasuro important and interest
ing. And so it haß attracted much attention on
the continent, although wo were uuable to had a
translation of it in any of tbo English papers.
However, that fact is easily aoooanted for by the
tenor of the artiole itself, and by tho calm, dis
passionate, and yet eloquent reasoning by .which
It proves the negative of tho question askod in
tho oaption.
" Sebastopol will not bo taken " —oalraly inti
mates the Invalide Russe —and “ Sebastopol will
betaken” reply tho English and French jour
nals. The former does not evon assert in terms
—it merely iosinuatoß—that tho siege will prove
tho most disastrous failure in tho annals of war.
It simply undertakes to point the inadequaoy
of tho moans to attain the end, and shows, in a
suppressedly exultant tooo, that the garrison
is more than ablo to repel all tho efforts of the
besiegers. The journals of tho Allies retort in
a doggedly inconolqsive assertion that Sebnsto
pol will bo taken, but they do not attempt to sus
tain the assertion by faots or arguments.
One of tho severest and most oaastlo state
ments oonta'mcd in the artiole in qaoßtion, is
that wheroiu it showß that, had tho Allies un
dertaken intrepidly and daringly to assault
Sebastopol, when they first came boforo it, vic
tory would infallibly have orowned tho effort.
This is tho unkindest out of all. Tho garrison
was weak—says the artiole—tho city was only
partly surrounded by a wall, and defended for
the most part by sailors unused to fighting be
hind ramparts, and though the defeuco would
have boon gallant and obßtiuato, the result
would have been unquestionable. Kow—says,
in tho Invalids Rune —the fall of Se
bastopol is one of tho most ohimerical illusions
that ever entered the head of a rational man.
We think tho reasonings of tho Invalide—par
ticularly when baoked by the experience of the
last ten months—are good; and when the qnes-
tiGn is esked, “ Will Sebastopol be taken?”
tho Russian answer will be a confident and de
cided “No.” Still the Allies can’t leave the
Crimea ; how can they get sway ? That is yet
to be dooided, and we must therefore await tho
next attacks.
