The regula tions of the road were perfectly proper, and no ono was to blame for the loss of twenty-three valuable lives, and the score or two of mangled and maimed survivors. Henry Grant, charged with robbing the Uaiiod States Mail of numerous letters, from a packet boat between Harrisburg and Milton, on the Busquehanna river, was put upon his trial in Philadelphia, before Judge Kane, on Monday. Twenty or thirty letters were found secreted in the man’s berth—be had not drawn his pay for tome maul ha, but he had money all tbe time. The jury, after an ah t-nce of a few minutes, returned with a verdict of guilty, but re com mended him to the mercy of the Court Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered a lec ture on Keats, in Louisville, on Saturday evrn ing. Of the lecture and the leoturer, the Ccu rler says; “ These lectures aro gems of the pu rest water, in point of literary composition, and derive great interest from the of the au thor. As a lecturer, however, Dr. I!, has some serious faulta. His articulation id not so clear, nor bis reading bo good as might he But these and othor defects are more than counterbalanced by tbe exquisite humor and fancy pervading the lecture. ” Oar candidate for Sheriff is too well known to need to have his history rocorded. Nearly r.ll the voters in the oonnty know h:tn, and ia bis basiness be has probably had dealings with half of them. For moro than thirty years he has kept the largest livery stable in the city, aod has in that time probabiy bought of our farmers two hundred thousand dollar? worth of bay and grain, and we havo yet to bear of the first com plaint against him for unfair dealing. Io t.e dame time he has probably purchased forty or fifty thousand dollars worth of horses, and all that he has bought he has paid for according to his oontreots. And, though go largely engaged in businoas, trading with ac many different peo ple, and employing so large a number of hands, he has seldom, if ever, been engaged ia a law suit with any one with whom he had dealings. We know of no better evidence than that of fair dealing and honesty. Half the pooplo in the city have at some time or other daring thirty four years had dealings with him, and he made few if any enemies. He is a native—“to the manner born”—and has lived in this oity since he was two years old ; and all who know his history know how thur* oughly ho is, in the true sense of the term, “ a golf made man.” Beginning almost penniless, and with a widowed mothor and her family to aid, he has by diligence io business won a mod erate competence ; and by fair dealing and agree able eooial qualities has gained as largo a cirolo of personal friends a- any man in the community. Beginning poor himself, ho has known how to b<* the poor man's friend ; and there ore scores in our midst who can attest that he has been Bach with a liberality and generosity that few can boast. We believe he has nover ran for any office but oaoe before. St sureiy has beeQ no offioe seek er, though always a prominent, aotive and work ing member of his party. Bat, while never engaged in “iho wild hunt fjr offioe,” he has shown his oapaoity for pubiio office by his dlli* geat, able and exoellent management of his own affairs. Ho had no hereditary fortune to sqoan der or lose. He has not spent years in dram ming for a nomination. He has steadily pursued his own oooupation, uutil his friends, who know him well, have voluntarily placed him in nomi -aation for the BheriffV.ty. And his friends are no faction, bat the whole Democratic party, and, M the result will probably show, largo numbers from other parties besides. Mr. Patterson is, wo suppose, about fifty years of age, and has spent all his life in the midst of the people of this oomcnQnity; and an aotive life it has been, in an hoQora file and useful oooupation. We know of no one who can be moro truly called a working man in hie business, as well as a working democrat in the ranks of a party that has, in this oouuty, suffered defeat almost continually for several years, yot has preserved its integrity because it believed its principles and its pdficy right. No desire for offioe has ever mduoed Mr. Pattorson to forsake his party. Though liberal and just towards the opinions of others, his own opinions and sentiments, openly and cordially avowed, have ever been democratic. Yet last winter he cordially supported a fusion ticket, a:d helped to elect a Whig Mayor of the oity ; and certainly It was not through his agenoy that a fusion tioket was not nominated this fall. The poei tion taken by the Gazeltt and its friends, ren dered such a tioket impossible; and we have abundant proof that a large majority of our par ty preferred a full democratic tioket; not from any illiberal spirit towards “ old line whigs,” ■- "**• wi ijt-- i ; t ». **, t i. .* ' 'V- 1 •' a, PITTSBURGH* STATE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

HORNING POST JOB OFFICIO THKNEWS ROD Y PATTERSON -'"VMN ' -*S T , but from a sinoerq desire to preserve intaot our party organization andprinciples. To a demo crat the party is a tangible thing, which he supports from habit, tradition, affection, and a sincere belief in the correctness of its principles and policy. Yet between old line whigs and deraoorats there is uow but reaily little differ- ence of opinion. They can vole for a portion at least of our candidates, without any compunc tions of conscience ; and as it was tho democrat ic party mainly that made Mr. Vol z Mayor last winter, cannot and wili not Urge numbers of whigs support Mr. Patterson this fall? He is abundantly worthy of their support ; and is the only candidate in the field who stands any ohaDoe of beating the Know Nothing candidate for Sheriff. Of his fitnosa and qualifications for tbe office, there can be no doubt. His claims from ago, and from all other circumstances, are superior to those of any ether caudidato before the people ; and the people say he will bo elect ed. We hope &Qd trust that suoh will be the result. FIRST VIEW OF THAT TICKET. The first thing that struck us as “ wery pecu lar” in reference to tbe K. N. ticket, which is now in the field, is that they appear to have no man in tho country fit to hold office; and they are obliged to make up a ticket almost entirely from tbe two cities. Jones, Wilson, Ward. M’Conk, Crouch, Fianegan, Eyster, Moorhead, Foster au-.l Smith all live-wubiu a mile of the Court Huuse 1 The two Auditors —tho offices being worth about two ceuts —are actually accorded to the poor country fo'k c The Director of the Poor, whoso office is worth about a dim?, is given to the oonntry folks. is put on that ticket merely because he was put off of ours. Oiberw se, in all probability, the country would uut have got that. Soot t, of M’Kseaport, is nom inated for tho Assembly bpcause he was turned out of office by the Democratic administration. But for that in all probability the wLole legisla te ticket would have been accorded to oity gentry. Offices worth over fifty thousand dol lars, for their whole torm, aro given to the cities ; and offices worth about eight hundred dollars are given to the couotry folks ! That id tho first fact that strikes tho eye and mind while iookiue over this ticket of the pure au I “ office seek-the ma " party. !a the next plaoe, tho candidates for Sheriff, Treasurer. Coroner. Senator, and ono Assem blyman all live within about five minutes wa.k of each other. Vorily, it is a great thing to live up Wylie Btrect. Tho country folks must go to grn s: what do th r ;. k k-w about bolding offioe ? “ Offioe seeks tbe man,’ oud tt is too laxy to go far after him ; so the several cffioeß seek and fiod ten of their men within sight of the Court Hoiiße. That is au easy process \\ by shouldn’t tho old parties be bronco up “ It is perhaps true that a residonce in the cliy affords the best opportunity for acquiring in formation, and fituesa for office. Tho Demo cratic party don't think so ; but the K. N 'a evi dently dv, and hence the ctiy/itd obaracter of their ticket •• Giro all tho offices cf any value to the city,” say they, aod then the city will take care of tho country Ead of View N? 1 - ,VHE VOL ASSESSED r Let every Democrat, and every man who ia intending to vote the Democratic ticket, attend at once to being assessed. Your vote depends upi>o it. Tho election occurs on the '.Lb cf Oc- tober. You mast be assessed at least trn dats before the election or lose your veto. See the assessor and then the collector cf tuxes at cn;c, and have the thing done right. Don't wait till the last day, fjr the assessor may not then be found Fovi: Mrs understand the art of ndrerti s itg thorenrhiv, and oiotiot Withstand ths tempta tion, whether in season or out of seatton, to “puff" their wares, either directly or indirect ly The most barrfaocd advertisement we have lately seen was in a Chicago paper which pub lished a iisi of tbe contributors to the Norfolk and i*ortsmout: Charity gotten up in that city Too whole system of publishing the names of those who give to any benevolent enterprise is somewhat in opposition to the command not to let your leu hand know what your right hand deeth ; but society has justified toe custom, the Scriptures to the contrary notwithstanding. The oase wo wi«h to speak cf was that of tbs cwoir of fljme nostrum who doubtless had studied the theory cf advertising, and practised ;t to such an extent so that he could n-t help g.viug a geu • tl-3 pud to his [ : '.i« even in the shape of a detri tion to the Norfolk Euffertrs.

Phincaa T. Biraani, you are not solitary and alone as a humbug: After One or “Sabi’s” Men —McGregor, of the Beav.*r Star, is again after Dr. D. ii. Brow er with a sharp stick fur bearing fabe witness against his neighbor. He says rf him: “If the fellow don’t soon reform, he will got so that he cannot tell the truth at all—even noir, it is seldom that a solitary truth hods its way to his paper ” Brower is a scurvy fellow, and doubt less deserves it all. Any mao who will abuse a hotel for not “deadheading” him, is hardly worth the powdor to blow him up. American vs Enqlish Railroad laos. — American rails arc decided now, on the best authority, to bo superior to English or Welsh of the same price.

General Strlngfellow and hia GliUdren. [From lh* Kansas Corrwipondenoe of tbe t!t. Louis D<mo- erst, September 13.] Incidentally I asked General Stringfellow if he r'ad aoy children. I Bball never forget the sud den and almost terrible ehadow in tho expression of hia faoe that this question produced. The conversation had begun about politics, nod had been osrried on very freely up to this point My careless question, however, suddenly ohanged his expression. Never in my life did I see a bro ken heart ao vividly piotured on human face His breast heaved ; the tears started in his -eyes; he oould hardly artionlato. He answered by monosyllables and single words at a time. Ho told me he had lost four young children last spriog within a few days of eaoh other. As he described the death of his young son, at whose bedside be sat ten days without rest, he was often forood to stop, to suppress bis ri sing tears and sob 3. To sec a strong man ao moved is tho most terrible and affeotlng eight beneath the sun. It affected me greatly—oven to tears—not aa I saw it, for Its intense expres aiod of despair and grief paralysed my own feel ings ; but as I recallod it when in the solitude of my chamber. “ Thai’s what makes me desperate to often," „was the last remark he made, in de scribing hifl domestic misfortunes As ho said so, I thought that if the leaders of political pir ties knew eaoh other’s sorrows, the hidden causes of political hate and revolutions would soon cease to bo a mystery. The Zion’s Berald gives an account, in a letter received from the Pacific Ocean, of a revival of religion on beard a whale ship.

Tbo poem is one long soliloquy—rhymed frag ments of the diary of a very disagreeable and exalted individual of name unknown. It is written in a scries of -6 fits—we do not mean tho fits of cantos or old ballads, but veritable ague fits. Undeterred by the knowledge that spasm is at present epidemics among tbe poots, Mr. Tinnysoo has actually sent forth a poem which is the perfection of spasmodic form. ” Railroad Poktby.— A correspondent of the Broome County Republican, describes his jaunt over tho Syracuse end Birmingham llailroad, fr-m CoartUoJ, in the following poetical strain: So much I wrolo in Courtlami’s bounds—and would have finished there had not tho down train's whistle loud resounded through the air. S-. shaking Fairchild by the hanJ, who said oome up agaiu, I bid farewell to every fear, and jumped upou tho train. Rushing round the hill side, dnrtiDg o'er tho plain, over tho rivers, under roads, Van Bergin drove his train. The moon threw bright effulgent rays on eioh small ripple’s crest , the river seemed a ribbon stretched across the meadow’s breast; the even ing wind came stoaliug through the oar with a gentle sigh, and brought a cinder from the en gine, spang into my eyo ; few and short were the prayers I said, Rod I spoko not a word of sorrow, but I rubbed at my eye till I made it red, and knew '(would be sore on the morrow. We 6oon got home at the rato we ran, at an hour just right for retiring, and down from his post oama tbe engine man, and tbe fireman ceased hisfireing. And thus I too will ccaso with this, a moral to the talc—be always sure to “mind your eye” when riding on a rail! Wab ih Africa —The British Government has a war in Africa as well as in the Crimea. A Mandingo sold a negro near tho mouth of the Gambia. The negro, it was said, was a British subject, and the British authorities undertook to arrest the Mandingo. Two attempts to arrest tho man in the village of Sabagee having been repulsed, Gov. O’Connor prooured the assistance of 100 Frenoh soldiers from Goree, and again marcbed towards Babagee, with a foroe of about 320 men, three field piooes and one 24 pound howitzer.

(‘hinges In the FJary The critic of the London THE MURDERER The housekeeper had not appeared in court. Bhe had concealed herself, or had been by Btnith. This was ooneidered a dark sign against him. But he himself now offered to bring her forward, and stated as the tea on, not that he was not willing that she Bhould testify, but knowing the excitemont, he was fearful -hat she would be bribed to giro testimony contrary to loot. Bat he was now ready to relate all the oiroumstan oes ho knew ; she might be oalled and examined. If her testimony does not oonflrm ray story, let me be condemned. The request of the prisoner appeared reaeon ablo, and Lord Mansfield, contrary to his usual prootioo, granted it. The prisoner went on with his statement. He said he wished to go out of court relieved from the suspicions that were resting upon him. As to the poison by means of which the straoger was said to have died, he knew neither the namo of it, nor the existence of it, until mado known by tho counsel. He would call God to witness the truth of what he said. And then, as to Mr. Thompson, he was a per fect stranger to him. How should ho know what articles he had ? Ho did not know. If he had such articles at Hull, he might have left them oa tho road, or, which was more probable, have otherwise disposed of them Aod if he died by means of the fatal drag, he must have adminis tered it himself. Ho begged the jury to remember that bis pre mises had been repeatedly and minutely searob e i, and not the moßt trifling article that belong ed to the deoeased had boon disooverod in his possession The stopper of a vial had been found, but of this ho oould only say, he bad no knowl edge, and had not seen it before it was produ ced in court. Ono fact bad been proved, and only one That he would explain, and his housekeeper would oonflrm the statement. A witness had testified (bat some one had gono to the bedroom or* the housekeeper on the night in question. Ho was ready to admit that it was he himself H? had been subject for ranch of his life to su 1 i n fits of illness ; he bad beau seized with one c-n that oocasion.and bad gone to procure her assistance in ligkliDg a fire. She bad returned with him to bis room for that purpose, he having wailed for a minute in the passage while she put on her clothes. This would account for tho momentary disappearance of the light. After remaitiM'g a few minutes in his room and finding himself bet ter, he had dismissed her and retired to bed, from which be had not risen whea he waa in formed of the death of tho guest. Such was t. e prisoner's address, which pro duced a powerful effect. It was delivered in a very t*rm and impressive manner, and from tho simple and artless manner of the man poriiapa not one present doubted his entire innocence. The housekeeper was now introduced, and cx amined by tho counsel for tho prisoner. She had not heard any part of the Btat-emen' of Wraith, not a single word of the trial. Her st 'ry confirmed all be had Baid. To this sucooeded her cross examination by tho prosecution. One circumst .nee had mauo a deco impression on bis mind - that was, that while the prisoner and the hiusekeeper were in tho room of the former, something like a door bad obstructed the light of the oandlc, so tbit ihe witness testified to the fact, bat could not see it. What was the obstruction u Thc:o was , no door —nothing in tho room whioh could ac : count for this. But the witness was positive that something like a door did for a moment come between the window and the candle. This j needed explanation. The hoasekeeper was the I ouly person that could give it. Designing to ! probe this matter in the end to tho bottom, hat not wishing to excito her alarm, he began by j asking her a few unimportant questions, and among others, where the canJlo stood whi ! ? she was in Mr. Smith’s room. “ In the centre of the room,” she replic i. “ Well, was the closet or cupboard, or what ever yoa call it, opened once or twice, while it stood there * ’ She made no reply. “ I will help your recollection," said the coun sel ; “after Mr. Smith bad taken the med cioe out of the closet, did be shat too door, or tb-i i' remain open “ He shat it.” “And when he replaced the l*oi;le in ib oloeet, be opened it again, (i d uc ' 1 He did ” “ And bow long was it open the i time ‘ Not above a mmute.” “ Well, and when open woui l tho -door be cs act 1 j between the light and the window “ It would ” “I forget,” said tho counsel, " wheth-r y j said tho closet was on the right or the loft ban 1 side of the window ”’ " On the left hand side." “ Would tho door of tho Mosel make HDy .;i*o in opening “ None.” “ Are you oertAiQ " I am.” " Have you ever openo-l it y seen Mr. Smith open it ■ ' " I never opeaed it myself ” *• Hid you ever keop tbe key “ Never.” •* Who did v” " Mr. Smith, always.” At this moment the housekeeper ohauc:-J to oast her eyes towards Mr. Smith, the prisoner A cold damp sweat stood upon his brow, and his face had lost all its color; he appeared a living ima?e of death. She no sooner saw him than she shrieked and fainted. Tho consequence of her answer flaahe 1 ttcrors her min i. Site hni been so thoroughly deceived by the manner of tho advocate, and tbe little imp rtanee he bad sermed to attach to her statements, that she bad boon led on, by ono question to auother, ltit fbe had told him all ho wanted to know. She was obliged to be taken from tbe court, and a physician who was present was rc-ques.ed to attend her. At this time the solicitor ftr the prosecution (answering to our State’s Atiorury) left tho Court, but no one knew fi'r what pur pose. Presently, tbe physician came into court, and stated that it would be impossible for tho househeeper to resume her seat iu the box short of an hour or two. It was almost twelve in tho day. Lord Msn3 field, having directed that the jury be accom modated with a room where they could be kept by themeolvea, adjourned tho court two hours. The prisoner, in the meantime was remanded to jail. It was between four and five o’olock, when the judge resumed his seat upon tho hooob. The prisoner was again placed at tho bar. and (he housekeeper brought in and led to the box. The oourt room was orowded to excess, and an awful silenoe pervaded the place. The cross-examining couußel again addressed the housekeeper. "1 have few more questions to ask you,” said he, take heed bow you answer, for ycur life hangs upon a thread. Do you know this stopper "I do.” " To whom does It belong “ To Mr. Smith.” " When did you soo it last "On the night of Mr. Thompson's death At that moment the solicitor entered tho court, bringing with him upon a tray, a watob, two money bags, a jewel case and a bottle of tho same manufacture as tho stopper, and having a cork in It. The tray was placed on the table, in sight of the prisoner and the witness, and from that moment not a doubt remained !n tho minds of any man present of the guilt of tbe prisoner. A few words will briog this molanoholy tale to Its dose. The house whero the murder had been oommitted was between nine and ten miles distant. The solicitor, as soon as crosa exami nation of the housekeeper bad discovered the existence of the oloset, and its situation, had set off on horseback with two sheriff's officers and after pulling down a part of the wall of the house, had deteoted this important oonccalment. Their search was well rowarded; the whole of the property belonging to Mr. Thompson was found there, amounting in value to some thousand pounds ; and, to leave no room for doubt, a bot tle was discovered which tbe medioal men in stantly pronounoed to oontain the very Idcutiori poison which had causod the death of tbe unfor tunate Thompson. The result was too obvious to need explanation. It need hardly bo added, that Smith, was oca vioted and executed, and brought to this awful punishmont by bis own means. Had ho said nothing—had he not persisted in calling a wit. ness to prove his innooenoe, ho might have es caped. But God had evidently left him to work out his own ruin, as a just reward of bis awful erime.

They are used without pain or the least danger of Injury. Below will be found several o -rtifientes which speak highly In their favor: [From the New York Evangelist.] A vxrx simp'evet philosophical Instrument, has been invented by J. Ball A Co., of this dty, by the application of which the cornea of the eye U gradually raised to its origi nal convexity, causing the f-cus to impinge on the retina without the aid of convex lenses. Thus by an ea*y process persons who have used glasses for years are enabled to dispense with them. The editor of the Pennsylvania Democrat writes as fol lows, respecting the cure of Mrs. Gurstead, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania: Usjontowzi, Pa., August 1,1864. Being well acquainted with Mrs. Ourstead, I know that before she ured ‘♦Ball’s Patent Eye-Cups," It was Impossi ble far her to read without the use of spectacles, and that her sight has been restored by the use of ihe Cups, so that aha now reads print with her naked eje without difficulty. John P. Bcazcll, Ed. Penn. Democrat. Dear &r— Having lost my sight by old age, I was in duced to purchase your wonderiul instruments, and by using the same according to your directions, I sccceeded in restoring my sight so that I can read by night or day with out spectacles.
