TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1857.
THE ORGAN GRINDERS.
The Superintendent of Police, in Now York,
has issued the following order to his deputy:
“ Many complaints have come to this offioe of tho
intolerable nuisance of hand organa in the public
streets late at night You will therefore instruet
tho inemhors of your command, thnthorcaftcr they
must bo particular in stopping all such musio' after
ton o’clock P. M. If any complaints como to this
office after tho promulgation of this order that tho
nuisance is not abated, tho policeman will be
promptly euspouded on whoso post it is.”
Mr. Talumaeoe (the superintendent) hns
done well in this matter, as for as he has gone.
But he has not gone far enough. It is not
only “ late at night,” but alHhrough tho day,
from the earliest hour, that hand-organs aro
making harsh discords. They provail, not in
New York alone, but in every city in tbe
Union, and tho more out of tuno tho instru
ment is, the more profitable to tho itinerant
who carries it, for while peoplo might tolerate
a low-toned, musical organ, they hasten to
send out their cents and dimes to get rid of
tlie wretched car-rending discords of a bad
instrument. "Wherever a person is lying Bick
in bed; wherever domestic affliction throws
sorrow and silence into a house; wherever a
studious man may bo roading, or writing, or
meditating, there, the abominable jar of an
out-of-tuno organ harshly breaks in. Indeed,
tills is a complete nuisance. What is inoro,
the organ grinders know that it is, (tho vil
lains!), and they play on until their departure
be purchased. If tho money given bo beneath
their expectation, they continue to play—set
ting tho barrel to their harshest tuno—and do
not leave until lhrthcr blackmail ho levied.
We have less of this nuisance in Philadelphia
than in many of tho largo cities, but we have
our share, and tho suburbs arc especially af
flicted by it. In London the inhabitants were
so annoyed that they petitioned tho Legislature
to put it down by special statute, and tho result
was an Act of Parliament which virtually recog.
nises the organ grinder’s right to be peripatetic
on the streets— provided they make no noiie!
Should any of them venture into a street, and
hot disebhtiriue his mockery of music the mo
ment that any inhabitant commands him to si
•lenco, his contumacy brings him under the
guardianship of the police, introduces him to
the honor of a personal and public Interview
'frith the magistrate, and provides him, “ as a
rogtjo and vagabond,” with a month’s resi
dence in Bridowell, with low diet and hard la
bor. Consequently, street music is rarely
heard in London now.
JEFFERSON’S PORTRAIT OF WASHING-
The subjoined sketch of flio life, character,
and services of Genoral Washikotox, is from
tho pen of Mr. Jefferson, and is to lie found in
A letter of his, to Doctor M'altek .Tones, dated
at Monticello, January 2d, 1814. It is a pow
erfully drawn picture, and being ontirely free
from fulsomo panegyric, or attempt at exagge
ration, we commend it to tho careful attention
of our readers, as embodying in a short space
all that need bo said of that great and good
man. It is written in tho conciso and vigorous
stylo for which its illustrious author was so re
markable, and is worthy of being treasured in
the memory of every admirer of tho “ Father
of his Country,” or the immortal writer and
signer of the Declaration of Independence:
I think I knew General Washington inti
matelyand thoroughly; and were I called on
to delineato his character, it should be in
terms like these: * ■
His mind was great and powerful, without
b«ing of the very first order; liis penetration
sitrong, though not so acute as that of a New
ton, Bacon, or Locke; and, as far as he saw,
no judgment was ever sounder. It was slow in
operation, being little aided by invention or
imagination, but sure in .conclusion.
Henco tlie common remark of - his officers,
of tho advantage he derived from councils of
war, where, hearing all suggestions, he se
lected whatovor was best, and cortainly no
General ever planned his. battles more judi
ciously. But if deranged during the course of
the action, if any member of his plan was dis
tracted by sudden circumstances, he was slow
In a re-adjustmont. The consecpicnco was
that ho often failed in the field, and rarely
against an enemy in station, as at Boston and
York. Ho was incapable of fear, meeting per
sonal dangers with the calmest unconcern.
Perhaps tho strongest featuro in his
character was prudence, never acting un
til every circumstance, every consideration,
was maturely weighed; refraining if he buw a
doubt, hut, when once decided, going through
with his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed.
His integrity was most pure, his justice the
most inflexible 1 have ever known; no motives of
interest or consanguinity, of friendship or ha
tred being able to bias his decision. lie was,
indeed , in every sense of the words, a wise, a
good, and a great man.
His temper was naturally irritable and high
toned ; but reflection and resolution had ob
tained a firm and habitual ascendancy over
it. If ever, however, it broke its bounds, ho
was most tremendous in his wrath.
In his expenses ho was honorable, but exact;
liberal in contributions to whatever promised
utility; but frowning and unyielding on all vi
sionary projects, and all unworthy calls on his
charity. His heart was not warm in its affec
tions, but ho exactly calculated every man’s
value, and gave him a solid esteem propor
tioned to it. His person, you know, was fine,
his stature exactly what one would wish, his
deportment easy, erect, and nobio; the best
horseman of his age, and tho most graceful
figure that could bo scon on horseback. Al
though in tho circle of his frionds, where ho
might be unreserved with safety, ho took a
lree share In conversation; his colloqutal ta
lents were not above mediocrity, possessing
neither copiousness of Ideas nor fluoncy of
■words.
In public, when called on for a sudden opi
nion, he was unready, short, and embarrassed.
Yet ho wrote readily, rather diffusely, in an
easy and correct style. This he had acquired
by conversation with tho world, for his educa
tion was merely reading, writing, and common
arithmetic, to which'ho added surveying at a
later day. His time was employed in action
chiefly, reading little, and that only in agricul
ture and English history. Ills correspondence
became necessarily extensive, and, with jour
nalising his agricultural proceedings, occupied
most of his leisure hours within doors. On
the whole, his character was,' in its mass, per
fect —in nothing bad, in fow points indifferent;
and it may truly bo said, that never did na
turo and fortune combine more perfectly to
make a man groat, and to place him
in tho same constellation with whatovor
worthies have merited from man an everlast
ing remembrance; for his was the singular
destiny and merit of leading the armies of his
country through aa arduous war, for tlm es
tablishment of its independence, of conduct
ing its councils through tho birth of a Govern
ment, new in its forms and principles, until It
had settled down into a quiet and orderly
train i and of scrupulously obeying the laws
through the wholo of his career; Civil and mill
iary, of which the history of the world fur
bishes no' other example. I felt on his death
with my countrymen, that “ vorlly a great mau
lyith this day fallen in Israel."

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, AND MAN
IFEST DESTINY.
Tho Westminster jßei>*rw entertains £tw reader?. J
in tho July numbor of that periodical, with an
elaborate treatise on tho •manifest destiny of the
United States. The malignity of British antipathy
to, and jealousy of, the greatness and future of this
Eopublio, arc perceptible iu every page of the ar-
Hole to whioh wo refer. Undoubtedly, tho agita
tion of tho anti-slavery question in tho United
States has been much fostered by British emissa
ries and by tho British press. Failing to conquer
Us in the sevon-years war of tho last century, they
have ever sinoo sought to promote the 'dissolution
of tho Union, upon the principle Of divide ft
impera.
No peoplo are more jealous than the British of
any interference by others with their social polity
or thoir local authority, no matter how incon
sistent they may bo with the principles of liberty,
humanity, or justioe. Her press is nqw, on mere
suspicion, denouncing Russia forhaving sowed the
seeds of the revolt which threatens her unmitigated
and infamous tyranny and oppression in India,
The rapacity and wickednoM of hor Indian con
quests and domination have, for more than a cen
tury, provoked tho malodlctions of the good and
humane of cvoiy Christian country, including emi
nent philanthropists of her own, Yet she nori
affects wonder and surprise that her greatEuropesn
rival should even desire to arrest the progress,of
her Asiatic Empire. •
Yet, while denouncing Russia on the haresuspt*
cion that Romo travelling Russian has vonturod to
tell the Sepoy, or tho Brahmin, how easy It were
to drive the bandful of British’troops who were
despoiling their country with discomfiture to
their ahipa, she has for a quarter of & century and
more, through every avenue in which she could
operate systematically, made war on the integrity
of tho Union of theso United States.
And now one of the prinoipnl organs, whioh
forms and directs tho publio' opinion of one of hor
miserable, cowardly faotlons, which' professes ad
miration for republican Institutions, bnt crouches
with servility to the lordly aristocracy; who own,
and buy, and sell British bone and muscle, and
trade with them for lucre or for conquest in every
quarter of tho globe—this organ, in solemn
mockery, proclaims that the United States ore
now in the midst of a revolution , and exults that
its eucl cun bo nothing else than disruption of our
Union! * {
Tho anti-slavery agitation is pronounced by tho
Westminster Review to bo a revolution.
It is not my purposo to refute propositions so
silly as those of tho Reviewer to which I refer, nor
to notice the ignorance of the peoplo of the United'.
States whioh ho displays.
If tho Union vrero really threatened with danger
from tho fanatics either of tho North or tho South,
tho Domocraoy of tho country is strong enough, and
would be willing onougfa, whou occasion required,
to put them both down. Tho truth is, that tho
aristocracy of England is so nii-poweoful in re
pressing political agitation, that even the pres* of
England knows not what is freedom of discussion,
and they naturally mistake the insane ratings of
the Abolition papers in Now England for s|mc*
thlug dangerous to tho stability of the Republic.
As well might tho Christian tremble for the endu
rance of tho divine* Revelation, beo&uso tho Infidel
preks enjoyed the privilege of assailing It.
Beotional antipathies and animosities have always
entered largely into onr political contests in the
United States, long before tho anti-slavery agita
tion.
AYashington, in his earliest correspondencein tbo
commencement of the Revolutionary war, refora to
the repugnance between Northern and Southern
military men. No sooner was the present Govern*
wont put In operation than soctional feelings dis
played themselves In Congress.
In the Farewell Address of Washington, ho par
ticularly addresses himself to those hostile geogra
phical divisions. Sectional animosities distinguished
every Presidential elcotlon after the third one—-to
the second election of Mr. Moutoo. They revived
with tho election of his. successor, and have more or
lessembitterod every subsequent election. ; .
The polities of the oountry were • influenced
by sectional considerations in the adjustment of
almost every important question. Iti delation to
financial questions—in delation to tho question of
protection, internal improvements, or even our
foreign polioy was determined by section consider*
ations. New England was almost unanimous
against tho war of 1812, though waged for “free
trade and sailors’ rights.” Owing to the pre
dominance of the puritanic element in tbo New
England States, which have always been inflated
with the pharlsaio sentiment, “God, X thank
Thee that I am not as other mon aro, or
oven as this Publican,” they havo been
geaornlly in tbo minority. Proserlpliv'e nnd
intolerant, they have always demanded that
the Republic should bo conducted according
to their notion of polioy. ZcalMs In New England
plotted ngainat the Union in 1813—’14, because
they could not control the Government. Thero
have been, at the time of almost every sovere
struggle Blnoe the origin of the Government, lead
ing men in Now England—aspiring demagogues—
who, for constitute sale t wero eager and ready,
bad occasion offered, to contribute to the dissolu
tion of. tho Union- It is so vow . Puritanism is
insolent, dogmatic, and imperious. It hardly
tolerates equality, but aspires incessantly to the
exeroiso of despotic authority. Originally, Puri
tanism in New England and its government were
a theocracy. In fact, to nil practical purposos,
New England is vow a theocracy.
Tho higher law, or the law of conscience, If? still
supreme with them ; and its supremacy they in*
sist shall he recognised by nil others. New Eng
land bns colonized New York, Ohio, and parts of
other States ; thence the higher law has its vota*
rics and disciples spread throughout the wholo
country to a greater or loss extent commensurate
with the colonization of the Puritans.
The anti-slavery agitation, (to return from this
digrcssion)‘is not, therefore, so much the cause of
sectional hostility and antipathy, as it is the effect
of that goographioal repugnance towards tho South
which has always characterized New England. If
Now England and her puritanic offshoots had not
Southorn slavery to wage their war upon, they
would soon find somo other cause of oomplaiut
against the South, as in former times. Such being
my views on this subject, tho impertiuont and
m&iovolont diatribe of the British Rovlewor could
not fail to provoho my indignation. Ido not con
sider tho refutation of his fallacious thoory (for it
is nothing else) worth the paper and ink it might
consumo.
But, adopting tho Roviowor’s stylo of argument
and theory, and applying thorn to* his own coun*
try—with much moro vcri-sirailituclo than distin
guishes his article—wo might show that England
is in tho vortex of a revolution.
It was in tho distant provinces of imperial Rome
that docay and paralysis wero first porcoptiblo.
Tbore the mortification which precedes death
first attacked her extremities, Ono after anothor
tho members of her colossal fabric perished and
fell off. So, too, with Groat Britain. Tho Unitod
States—her former American colonies—wore tho
first loss in that revolution of destiny through
which she is now passing. Tho next step in tho
revolution was tho destruction of the prosperity of
her West India islands. Canada is no longer an
dement of wealth or power to Groat Britain; she
ia only waiting a convenient season to sever tho
last feeble ligament which connects her with the
parent country. From Australia the Indications
aro indubitable that British ascendancy tkoro will
not eontlnuo long.
But tho intelligence from India is moro porten
tous thou any which ever beforo struck terror to
the guilty tyrants of tho feat-anchored Albion.
Tho retribution which Fox and Burke and Sheridan
prophesied that a just Ood would visit upon thorn
for their crimes in that oppressed country, seems to
bo at bund. If tho insurrectionary movement
there bo national, as appears now most probable,
it would seem to us that England can nover recover
Lor ascendancy there. She has taught the
Indian all she knows of the art military; and
for every European soldier she sends to India,
twenty armed and disciplined natives, accus
tomed to the climate, will stand prepared to meet
him. She conquered her recent empire in Indie,
step by step, by stealth and policy and chicanery,
by pluying off ono prince or potentate against
another; by purchase, by corruption, Ao., and by all
tho arts of unscrupulous, insatiate ambition In
Europe, Great Britain has affected to be tho oham
pion of tho law of nations—of .liberty, justice,
humanity, and religion. In India, she has been
tho diabolical foB of liberty and justice, humanity
and rolfgion. fiho hesitated at no crime—she
shrunk from no robbory—she forbore no otrooity—
sho spared no friond nor foe, when territory was
to be acquired.
All tho orlmes which all the tyrants of Europe
for ono thousand years have perpetrated would
not compare in enormity with those perpetrated
by the British la India during the last hundred
years.
Surely, if there be a God In Heaven who punishes
nations for national crimes, England will not escape
bis vongoanee. With the loss of America, hor
West Indian Islands, Australia, and India, Bug.
land will shrink into her natural dimensions and
take rank with the fourth end fifth-rate States of
Europe.
It seeins to us that England is now in the midst
of a revolution which must have this termination.
Instead of exulting over the imaginary dismem
berment of tho United Slates, her politicians
and statesmen had better, poudet; on the impend
ing fatb which.la Jjor v{amfrst destiny, It
is far mpre probable, nay. certain, that England
wiinpspsli her prinoipal colonial possessions in
the next fifty years, than that the American Union
will bectiflolred In the next hundred years. Tho
more odrStates multiply, tho stronger this Union
become!. It is more ensy to dissolve the Union of

Whlfeplountaloa; to toll you what I saw at tho

and putting it on the hanimal; but simply to toll
your Readers two or threo things I have learned
durlngjmy recent summer tours, ami my peregri
nation! through twenly-flvo of our States within
the months.
- . First—a« tho preachers Ray —I am well convinced
•that whftvO tho mo3t boautifnl, tho mdst health
ful, the most nourishing, and tho best-governed
city iut&)United Btatcs. For reasons “toouu
mwoua topioution,” I believe tbatl’Uladolph a is
destined td bo tbe groat metropolis of our glorious
and uhdivided Union. Iu many respects it is now
tho first city on tho continent, tho extravagant
clalmk'of. qur Gothamite neighbors to tho contrary'
notwithstanding. I‘cnnsylvan'a will soon bo tho
Emptrt, as tyoll m tho Koy-Stonc State, and Phila
delphia the largest elty in America. Let our
Knioke&ocker brothers stick a pin thorc. Facts
In support of this claim are patent with nil intclli
gonf Pennsylvanians, and need not bo enumerated.
2. forawoll satisfied that “leaving the city” for
health and, comfort, except at short Intervals in
£uiy f 1> a great' im'mbng. . The disadvantages of
this,fashionable mania aro legion, tt would re
quire a volumo to describe thorn. I wonder that
I did nnl know this by Intuition, initeiul of taking
three or four summers to learn It.
Thero is no place whero so many
can bo found, at least for eleven months of tho
yean, as in this vory oity of Brotherly Love. Pyo
perty.is so cheap, and rents so Jow, that olerks and
mechanics can livo in “ first-class houses with
modern conveniences.” How muoh is implied in
this phrase all Philadelphians ought to know. I
shall hot 'enumerate.
WUt not many of our “ first families’* next year
set a cominoa-senso example, and thus assist in
abating a growing evil?
3. ( I have mpt with the most conclusive evidence
of the fact that the Dewocratio party towers above
every other political organisation as Mount AVgsb-
its lofty brow abave.tho-wplo biUs iof
tha vallqjra. It is the only national
the only thoroughly-organized party;
it hrafronly homogeneous party, based on immu
table principles, and principles, too, which are ra
pidly permeating all classes of our people, in orery
section of tho country. Even in Now England,
that land of istns, Democracy is on tho advance.
The peons are waking up; they will not be
caught “napping” itgain. They have discovered
that they havo been “bled,” not for “blooding
Kansas,” but for the benefit of the “ Shriek
ers.”
The Administration of our noble President is
looked upon with great favor by the masses, North
and South, while who clamor are greatly in
the minority. This is true in Massachusetts and
South Carolina, in Wisconsin nnd Mississippi. Fana
ticism, North and South, is self-consuming, and can
do no pormanent harm. I have seen enough nnd
know enough to make me hopeful and happy in re
ference to my country’s future wool.
If Mr. Buchanan and his friends continue in the
way In which they have started, “walking by the
same rule, minding tho same things,” our country,
through the Divine blessing, is safe. The next
Democretio candidate for the Presidency, whoever
he may he, will only havo to wall over the
count!
The opinion oxtonsivoly prevails among intelli
gent and good men, North and South, especially
amoEg clergymen, that Mr. Buehanan was brought
to hii present position by an overruling Providence
u fot such a time as Ten thousand pray
ers dally go up to Heavon that ho may be directed
and sustained in his Administration.
Finally, Mr. Editor, about our new paper. I
know that tho opinion has long prevailed, tbat wo
needed something in tho shape of a daily paper that
would bo it eredit to our city, and a tower of strength
in our great country. Wo have just what we
wanted. Tun Press is all that wo desire. I found
it everywhere in my travels. Everybody was
talking about it—ovorybody praised it. All Penn
sylvanians seemed proud of it. How eomploto,
and yet how young! What « vast amount of labor
and genius it must have taken to arrango and exe
onto so much in so short a timo, and that, too, in
the “hoated torrn !” Goon, Mr. Editor; you aro
a pnblio boncfactor. Your toward is certain. I
would ratbor bo “Editor and Proprietor” of The
Peeks than to bo United States Senator.

ASTOUNDING FACTS
In Regard to Tobacco Chewing, .Smoking, and
Smif/ing,
11V JOHN, or LANCASTER.
Tie consumption of tobacco in tho United States
bfcoccome enormous. According to the oensus re
turn* tho annual production is about two hundred
millions of pounds; and by allowing a population of
tweity-slx millions, it would giro to every man,
woqan and child within a fraction of eight pounds.
Thif; at first sight, would seem ulraoet incredible,
yotit is true.
flowing tbo annual production of tobucco, as
stated above, to bo worth twenty cents a pound,
(iu the raw state,) which is certainly a low figure,
it would he worth the snug sum of forty millions of
dolhrs. T|us would be n sufficient ninouut to
buili a school-house, worth six hundred dolluis,
in every township uud parish in tho Union.
Oitofour population tbero are at least three mil
lioifl that ohew tobacco ; and on nn uverogo they
will consumo three pounds each, costing at least
(kilty cents a pound, which will amount to almost
thirty millions of dollars por annum—a sum suffl
cleat to send missionaries to all tbo heathens in tho
world
Mo will certainly be safe In estimating tho num
berof smokers nt four millions; and if wo allow
thou an average of only two cigars a day, which
is certainly a very moderate number, they would

FROM NORRISTOWN
La Fayette Military Encampment—Great Com*
motion at Norrl&toaVu—Slight Shower of Rain,
but none of Grape 1
(Corrcfipoud©nco of The FrefS.J,
Nohristoww, August 31, 1857.
This touch-talkod-about military display com
menced on Monday of last week, and con
tinued* until Friday evening. The newspapers
for some time past had been heralding tho ap
proach of this great fete ; and, judging from the
very last announcements in tbe local journal?, 1 the
demonstration anticipated was to have boon a mo*t
imposing affair—and really', so fur an imposing upon
the orodulity of tho peoplo was concernod, it was :
no failure. Two hundred tents and upwards, it was
said, had boen pitched for' tho accommodation of
the troops, of capacity to accommodate nearly &
thousand men, and aocordingly, liko an electric
shock, tho Impression went abroad that a sham
Buena Vista or Chopulfepeq might now be wit
nessed without jeopardising life or limb by Simply
making a trip to La Fayette camp..
Norristown, of ooursc, rjt once the great
point of attraction for almost everybody and Iris
wife for mires (around—the , children, too, V&ry
small infthta forming no exception. Thursday was
expected to bo the day of the fivo, and current ru
mor found na difficulty In sporting beforo the ima
gination of many the vision of his Excellency Gov.
Pollock and Gen. Winfield Scott riding side by
ski© through the beautiful borough of Norristown,
at tho head of on invincible army of ettizon sol
diers. Accordingly, on that day, and even on the
afternoon of Wednesday, tho hundreds of squads
of exoited sight-seers commenced their exodus to
wards the locality of this flattering scene of mili
tary promise!
Ourself, just returning from a short visit to the
“upporend,” took passage at six o’eloek on tho
moruing of Thursday, by one of tho regular lines
of stages from that quarter, and arrived at the far
famed scene of “ mimic war” after a three hours’
ride, full of the most impressive stage-coach expe
rience! Our coach, which had been built to accom
modate tweuty passengers, was on this ocearion sub
jected to the enormous burden ot jiftyfive! the
fifty-sixth having “dropped off,” after making an
unsatisfactory experiment. We occupied nnoutside
position—a sort of lieutenantship to tho driver—and
had not our coach been a very substantial one, and
managed by ah export driver, an accident would
probably have resulted; but as the roof-passcngcrs,
numbering twenty-five, dismounted, in making tho
stoop descents, we got through safely. The throng
atthoonmpground was immense, though thocUmax
of conglomerated crowdism was attained at about
throo in the afternoon, when a salute of thirteen
guns was fired, and the several military companies
on tho ground began to manoeuvre preparatory to
their countermarch through the borough, at which
timo the whole concourse assembled in tho spacious
field was variously estimated nt from 5,0H0 to 10,000
persons.
It is doing tho military no injustice, however, to
state that they were by no means the only feature
of attraction. The companies controlling tho ma
nagement haring sold tho right of a place in the
Geld to a. largo number of sutlers, showmen, quack
cure-alls, Ac., at ten dollars eaoh, the grounds
wero in a groat raoasujo surrounded with such
temporary structures us their temporary occupants
saw fit to erect.
Painted canvas signs, as bold in size ns they
wero hideous In execution, wore flying in various
quarters, bearing tho attractive representations
and verbal descriptions of “All tho greatest natu
ral curiositios iu tho world;” such as “bearded
ladies” and “double-headed babies,” “womon with
horns,” and “mon to euro corns,” “astonishing
twins,” and “fairy queens,” a famous “ blower of
glass,” nud sundry blowers of gas. To relieve
tho monotony of this, tho “ Union Shooting Gal
lery” next bovo in sight, with tho terms attached,
as follows : “i Shotk for 12 Centk !”
Next in this edifying panorama was a young
lady advertised as being “It? yours old, and two
feet and a half high,” which singular fact was so
norously heralded by one of her lords, and occa
sionally, reiterated by his partner in tho enter
prise, in tho German tongue, about as follows:
“Korn harcin vln venig. Kleines Woibsinensok
neiuzibn jahr aid, und uuhr treisig zol book !”
In addition to thi>, wero displayed, in endless
variety, signs of lager beer, pea-nuts, oyster soup,
superior clams, candies, cakes, Ac., and but few of
them seemed to ho driving a livelier trado than
tho man with the “water million’* sign, down
on the river hank.
Of course, among this immense mass of hetero
geneous humnnity, the small number of military
in attondanco wero but tho merest apology for the
gathering.
The troops on parado were as follows: Woyno
Artillerists, Capt. Lecher, numbering 41: Norris
City Rifles, Capt. Amy, numbering 30; Madison
Guards, Capt. Umsted, numbering 27; Mont
gomery Rifles, Capt. Tourney, numbering 16; Allen
Rifles, Capt. Gutb, numbering 68; Marion Guards,
(not admitted on Thursday for want of discipline,)
15; Roxborough Dragoons, Capt. Jones, numbering
60 ; Westchester Troop, (captain not ascertained,)
numbering 11; the whole being under tho com
mand of Genorul Keiin, of Reading, who, with his
stuff, mudo a very fine appearance, and is himself
an officer of ability and experience, worthy of n
much moro important post than the commander
in-chief of nn encampment numbering in the ag
gregate two hundred and fifty-seven men,
in rank and file, all told—being assured that
if tkero are any inaecuraoies in the esti
mate, it is in their nnraorieal favor. However,
it all passed off very well. There wrb an immenso
amount of whiskey drank, of course, for tho
Imbibers have doubtless paid their second price
since, in tho shops of a had hoad&che, and a dis
ordered stomach. The hotel-keopers of Norris
town, no doubt, reaped a rich harvest; but, so far
as wo loarned, they gave their guests tho worth of
their money In araplo fare.
The occasion is ono that will doubtless long be
remembered by the poo\>lo of Montgomery especial
ly, and perhaps with feelings quito 03 much of
ploasure as of disappointment, b» there were hun
dreds of ronowings of old acquaintanceship?, which
in the abeenop of such, or similar occasions, might
become utterly extinguished. To the present regi
ment of ardont applicants for nomination at tho
coming Democratic County Convention, the oooasion
was particularly opportune. Tho scene of the gone
ral dispersion, towards the evening of Thursday,
was as reckless and boisterous as whiskey and ftin
oould make it. The evening train to this city was

ourrent year was but a drop in tho bnek«&
compared with the immense balance' still retained
in legitimate buslncas channels. i
The followiogparagraph, from a la to number of
the United 1 States Seotiomist, ia a forcible pre
eentation of the solid grounds on which our present
prosperity as a nation rests:
11 In toe! lasi ton 1 years the elements of wealth
have organised thomsolres in the whole country,*
with immense rapidity’, until they nre now pro
ducing results. .Thus there have arrived in the
oOmitry in that lime 2,000,000 active producers,
who, joined to thenetiyo youth of the older States,
hare poured over tho West, bringing under the
plough a quantity of new land equal to twice the
entire surface of England, and of equal produc
tiveness, In the eamo time $1,000,000,000 (a'
thousand millions of dollars) have been spent in
building means of communication to make those
lands, and-that labor applied to it, available to
commerce. Thus land, labor, and means of com
uiuoic&tion have combined on an Immense scale to
produce results which are now about to be real
ised.' All that' labor, and the capital it com
manded, has re-produced from the virginsoillt
attacked, many fold its owii value, and the rail
ronda—built at each cost—arc now rcudy to carry
off the surplus to the best markets. Tho roads ore
built, and absorb no more capital, but many bring
from new regions in a single-year a quantity of
capital equal to tbelr own entire coat, to enrich
the marts of commerce. * This year the season has
favored combined labor, and the products are im
mense. The, producers of natural wealth arc
everywhere blessed with abundance, and, asanatu
ral result, their demand upon -manufacturers for
goods must bo very great-far‘greater than the
supplies ol raw material*trill warrant”
Had the harvest been deficient,*the prosperity of
the country would, no doubt, have received a tern*
, porary Check—a few bankruptcies would have fol
lowed, but uothirfg colild long paralyse the irre
sistible forced thdt .underlie our great onward
movement. Thoresourccsof the country have sot
only been immensely increased during thelast ben
or fifteen years, but trade and Joaustfy have
been so systematized during this period as to
render them, when compared with the loose, ill
directed movements of former years, likeacom-
Sact, well-disciplined army taking the field
itherto occupied by inefficient stragglers. It w ill
now require a host of adverse circumstances
to put tbem down, if, indeed, they can be con
quered by any power.' Oar business and com
mercial systems have struck down their roots
and spread abroad their branches tike the bqn
vsn tree, and nothing short of earthquake or
adridpane can‘disturb them now. The xuanaee
mm ,oL burine**. .ajid Jrada.is being rapidly
changed from blind empiricism to the positive
ness of science. Thanks to railroads, steamships,
aud eloetric telegraphs, the shrewd man of bori
nes3 can glance over* the whole civilised world,
and calculate all the chances of failure or suc
cess before he mokes an important movement.
If he enter largely into agriculture, he most
study soil?, adopt every great Improvement,
know the cc*l of his products,' and be able to
forecast their market value. If his business be
that of a merchant, he cannot fail to understand
that the essentials to success consist in a close
study of the world’s markets, a ready facility in
taking advantage of changing circumstances,
energy, despatch, and prompt fulfilment of all
his engagements. If he engage in manufacture*,
ho must study the resources and wants of his own
and other countries, and itevy forget that his
competitors command every resource of skill and
science, and that to succeed, he must command
thorn too. And so of all other pursuits. TS'e live
in a now era, when energy and oapooity are in
universal demand, and their opposites are speedily
crowded to tho wall. We rejoice that it is so, as
we are thus assured of the most unbounded mate
rial prosperity.
The Depression In Shipping.
[From the Newbnryport (Mas*.) Herald.]
The depression in shipping still continues, and is
os great to-day ns it has been within the lost ten
years. The harbors of all the groat cities are
crowded with masts os a forest is with trees, and
the first-class sailing ships that the world has pro
duced have nothing to do. Somo merchants are
hopefnl that the present wars in India and ChinA
muy yet be turned to good account, demanding
tonnage, os the famine in Ireland (evil in itself)
catno with like good to them ten years ago, and as
the war in Russia was turned to the same advan
tage afterwards. This is doubtful, however. The
wars may .create a temporary demand for ships to
transport troops end munitions of war, but they
will disturb toe arrangements needing so much
tonnage now. Peace is generally favorable to com
merce, and these wars oau bo of no advantage
unless they open intercourse with new peoples,
and then not immediately, for it takes some timo
for tho Eastern Asiatics, even when in communi
cation with us, to need oar manufactures to any
Sreat extent. Their wants are few, and relatively
icir productions are few, and c&nuot be increased
at onoo.
Ship-building must bo depressed so long as
ships aro not demanded, and heucu wo find very
few building upon the Atlantic coast; dullness and
stagnation have como to all tho yards from Calais
to Baltimore, and not only to the yards, but to all
those departments of trado—timber cutting, rope
muking, sail manufacture, rigging, caulking, paint
ing, plumbing, 4c.—that aro upon ship
building. This, perhaps, more seriously affects tne
iStato of Maine than any other section, since thoy
were most largely engaged in the business, and
from their exteusive seacoast und great number of
workmen arc best adapted to it. Sumo towns that
wore swimming in prosperity two years ago have
como to a sudden stand still; and not only has
work ceased, bat many of tho ships remaining on
their hands have been sold at low rales, or retained
unemployed, bringing embarrassments and bank
ruptcy. This depression is not ulono felt there; It
has swept ull along tho coast, stopniug tho axes,
saws, and hammers, in Portsmouth, Ncwburyport,
Boston, New York, and on further south.
Changes ik Snii**nrxLDiNU.— Two changes aro
going on with great certainty—tho substitution ot
steam propellers for sailing vossols, and of iron for
wood, in construction. Theso changes are more
apparent in (Ucat Britain than here. On our
ocean const there arc vary few steamers building
at this timo. In Now York, wo bolieve, there a»e
but two small steamers —ono for Central America,
ami another for Luko Ponchartraiu. In Bo»tou
thoro uro two large ones; but if vro go across the
oceau wo shall find throe hundred stcamors now
building on the Clyde, and only ono of them is to
have tide whoola; ull tho restate prupollors. Thus
the steam mar no of the world, even those ships
connected with American trade, is falling into tuo
hands of tho English ; and to moot tho demands of
the time it is thought wo not only must resort to
Mourn in future, but that many of the present clip
per ships will yet have to be transformed into screw
steamers.
Tho change from wood to iron In tbeconstruetion
of vessels is more demanded in England than with
us; but with each succeeding your we approach a
condition where the difference will be obviated; it
may be of importance to mechanics and towns to
get early Into a business that is to increase, for it
is often found that wheu ouce any branch of trade
gets a lodgment, it will remain, though tho loca
tionmayuot be tho best that oould po selected.
The English claims for iron vessols aro, that a ship
of ono thousand tons will carry a fourth of her ton
nage more dead weight than a wooden one, which
on long voyages to India, Australia, and California,
i* important to hor freight value; that they c*n
build her from £2 to £3 less per ton ; and finally,
that tho duration of the vessel is much greater
being as good at a hundred y ear* old, if riie meet*
with no accident, as at tor,. It is evident that the
English aro testing these claims, and before long
wo shall be following in the train of their experi
ments.
Tho Toronto Cohut st, in referring to the recent
election of Rev. Dr. Cronyn to the bishopric of the
now Western Diocese, says that “ the now Bishop
elect is of the Evangelical school, and haa boon fre
quently accused of having no real love for the
Church of England.'' It nays nlse: << We have no
hesitation in saying, that at the present crisis it is
far more important to conciliate the affections of
the laity than tormv over-much regard tonic© dis
tinctions about High or Low Cburohmansbip; and
Dr. Crony n’s election to tho Episcopacy will be un
doubtedly popular among a very largo proportion
of tho members of the church.

The Size op Losdojt —When the atone in
Panyer’a alley was placed on its sit© three centu
ries since, the circumference was about fire miles
At present, however, to make a pedestrian expedi
tion aronnd the metropolis, would to moat persons
be an undertaking of some importance, as mar be
seon by referring to the following particulars, which
have been gathered from a recently published
map! From Chiswick to Kentish town twelve
miles; from Kentish-town to Millwsll, seventeen
and a half miles; from MUxall to Cbiawfek.

that in the line drawn, Battersea, Clapham, Can

present can bo scarcely said to be separated from
London, have been left cut. “As the crow would

Marriages in Exolasd,—A report of the
registrar-general to Sir G. Grey supplies informa
tion relative to births, marriages, deaths, and dis
eases, in England and. Wales. The number of
young women marrying under age has increased
rapidly within the last seven years. The propor
tion fluctuated only from 1316 to 13 73 percent in
the seven years 1841-47. It then rose from 14*06
in 1848, and 15*75 in 1851 to 16*99 in 1852; 17*76 in
1853 ;1803 in 1851; and 17.89 in 1855. The pro
portion of young men to young women who marry
under the age of 21 is as l to 3; but the early mar
riages of men increased nearly to the same extent
as the early marriages of women. 44,848 husbands
and 02,072 wives made their marks; while 107,267
husbands and 89,441 wives wrote their names in
tho marriage registers. A certain number of th«
women who make their marks are deterred by ti
midity from writing their names. A girl of 16 was
married to a boy or 15; 0 girls of 18 were married
to youths of 16; a lad of 16 was married to agiri of
IS. A widow of 17 laid aside her weeds fora
second husband aged 17, while no less thaw 267 wi
dows of 26 were wedded to bachelors of the
ago. Two widowers of 25 forgot their griefs in a
second union, one with a lass of 15, and the other
with a girl of 10. A venerable widow of 80 wsn
induced to re-enter tbo matrimonial state by a wi
dower of the mature ago of 60, sod a spinster, who
°Hns to 70 years, accepted the hand ot a widower
of 65. An old bachelor of 75 was converted to ma
trimonial tiews by the charms of a spinster of 60.
Au immense majority of marriages take place at
tho age, in both sexes, of 20.
Tan Sat* or the Fraxkmx Railroad.—We
havo already mentioned the -alo of that portion of
tho Frankliu railroad lying witbiu Pennsylvania,
to, Messrs. Worrell 4 Co., of Harrisburg. It is
said they purpose to purchase also that portion of
the road extending from the Maryland line to
Hagerstown, and to relay it throughout with heavy
T rail. The Harrisburg Telegraph thus comments
upon the importance of this road to eertain inter
ests :. It is a link in a grand chain of road from
the city of New York to the Mississippi river and
New Orleans, almost on an air line, running
through the whole extent of the rich and popu
lous Kittatinny Valley, and crossing and con
necting with all tho great improvements in the
eastern, western, and southern States. When
this link is finished, together with the Lebanon
valley, and East Pennsylvania road, from Reading
to Allentown, alt In the coarse of construction, ud
a small link of twenty-two miles from Hagerstown
to the Winchester and Potomac road, the chain
will be complete, and it will be the great arterial
road of tbe United States. From Hagerstown
west, by a branch of twenty-five miles in length.
It will connect with the Baltimore and Ohio read,
and by another branch of twenty-two miles, with
the Winebester and Potomac road, running through
the valley of Virginia, and deep into the State of
Tennesseo, where it-connects in all directions
through the whole Southern country. East from
Cbambersburg, it will connect with the Comber
land Valley to Harrisburg, when it crosses the
North Central and Pennsylvania roads, and will
unite with the Lebanon Valley to Reading, with
the Reading and Lehigh at that point, and with
other connections at Allentown, direct to the city
of New York.
Visit to Napoleon lII.—A Paris correspondent
writes: “A frieud of mine went to Plombieres iaC
Wednesday to .<*o his imperial Majesty, baring
known much of him during his sojourn in New
York in the months of April, May, and Jane, in
1836, and bad an interview of three hours with
him, one of which was spent at tbe dinner
table, and the other two in a long walk, in which
be had a most familiar conversation with him oc
many subjects; but I am not at liberty to e&tw
into details. The Emperor gave no intimation of
fear, though be spoke freely of the difficulties
which environ him. He complained much of the
injustice of the American press toward him; but
2 am not sore whether he named any paper Is
particular. My friend was greatly stnjckwitis the
intense vigilance which reigns oU around Ptaa*
bierea among tbe police; and when walking with
the Emperor, ha remarked that they were never far
from the guards who accompanied his imperial
Majesty. it is certain that there is much anxiety
in the pnblio mind; and thU uncertainty is the
state of things greatly affects the grander enter
