RUSSIA, ENGLAND, AND INDIA.
It was not to be expected that Russia, after
tho disasters in tho Crimea, and the humilia
tion of defeat, could entertain anything like
friendly feeling for England. Tho alliances
between the two counties Btrotch far back, in
deed. lleney VII., a politic monarch, made
treaties of amnesty with Austria, as for hack
as tho Fifteenth century; his son and grand
father, Henry VIII., and Elizabeth lfnkod,
knit the bonds of friendship still moro closely
together. All of tho Stuarts, during a period
of nearly a century, kept up tho alliance, and
Peter the Gbeat visited William 111. in
1598, and personally saw how desirable it was
for a vast and rising empire like his own to be
backed by such an established and dominant
power as England. From that time ,with tho ex
ception of the short interval, early in the pre
sent century, when the Emperor Paul threw
himself into the arms of Napoleon, the rela
tions between tho two countries liaro been
most cordial. In tho great struggle of 1814-
18X5, Russia fought side by sido with Eng
land against Napoleon, and in 1827 tho flag’ of
Russia floated by the side of the standards of
France and England, when in tho Bay of Nft
varino, tho Turko-Egyptian fleet was destroy
ed, and Greece was liberated from the chains,
and dtireste of conturies. After tho Czar had
marched his troops into tho heart of Turkey,
it was at tho request of England that ho con
sented to the Treaty of Adrianoplo (Septem
ber 14, 1829,) and relinquished his conquests?.
In lino, for centuries, up to tho year 1853,
'Russia and England were allies, firm aud
faithftU.
Tiio stops against Turkey, by Russia, in
1863, led to the late war. Hero, any other
man than Louis Napoleon on the throne of
France, the chance is that war would not have
token placo. Russia, it is clear, considered
Turkey as a « sick man,” (this was the very
expression used by tlie Emperor Nicholas to
Sir Hahuton Seimouk,) and committed the
rapacious error of going in for a division of
tho property before the sickness had even
tuated in death. Manifest Destiny, thought
Nicholas, pointed out Constantinople aa the
southern metropolis of Russia in Europe; it
was the tradition of tho Houso of Romanoff,
and lie could not, or wonld not, sco why,
cleverly making a partition of Turkey, the
particular portion ho required should not be
appropriated to himself. England, under or
dinary circumstances, would have interfered—
not by arms hut by diplomacy. Blit England
was tied to a new and strange (because wholly
unexpected) alliance with Franco. The
astuto child, of fortuno whom tho French
people had made Emperor had been insulted
by Russia, which sent a cold, tardy, and almost
impertinent reply to tho announcement of his
elevation to supreme power. Instead of com
mencing tho ropiy with « Sir, my Brother”
(Mtmtteur, mon Frere,) Nicholas used the
words, « My ftiend” (Afon Jmi), and Louis
Napoleon affected to treat the matter lightly,
(sayiug, “Tlie Emperor Nicholas compli
monts mo. He calls himself my ftiend
and not my brother, this, as indicating liis
own personal predilection, Is vory flattering
—for we choose our ftionds, but cannot choose
our relations,) he felt the insult.”
From that hour, ono thought Ailed Louis
Napoleon’s mind —to show the Czar that lie
was not to be snubbed nor insulted. From
that time, he bore bitter antipathy to Russia,
apd tho Western Alliance, in aid of Turkoy
was tho result. Very soon after tho war com
menced, Rnssia quitted the Principalities of
Wallachiaand Moldavia, tho armed occupation
of which was the cojbi belli, and this backing
out would have ended the contest under ordi
nary circumstances. But Louis Napoleon had
not done enough, snd, simply putting Austria
in occupation of the Principalities, persuaded
England and Sardinia to join with him in at
tacking the Czar on his own ground. Hence
the war in tho Crimea, virtually ended by tho
death of Nicholas.
Out or that war with Russia, Franco c.nmo a
laurelled victor; England 105t70,000 mon, ono.
hundred millions sterling of money, and tho
preilige of Invincibility in Hie Old World —for
it was scon that, whatover tho cause, Sebasto
pol yielded to French rather than to English
valor. Franco, whicii had boon on vory dis
tant terms with Russia, from tho expulsion of
Bourbons in 1830, formed an intimate alliance
with the youthftil Czar, and has ever since fa
vored Russian interests as much ns possible.
On the other hand, Russia continues indignant
with England, its oldest ally, for having aban
doned it, in 1858-4, for tho sako of Turkey.
It is uncertain what port Russia may have
taken, or whether she took any, in exciting the
natives against their English rulers. There is
no doubt that tho Persian troops who were en
gaged in the lata contest with England had
been disciplined and drilled by Russian officers
—that, at Herat, tho commanders were Rus
sian—and that the marked improvement in
the artg.of war, observed in tho recent conflict
before Canton, was tho result.of Russian in-
Atructiop. Wo know only this, that Russia
has her emissaries thickly strewn bvor.Britisli
fndia, and that they are able, aculo, observant.
PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1857.
Tho Riwsian view of tho mutiny in India
(translated from Xe No\-d, ,t)ip .Bussian organ
at Brussels,) which we published on Tuesday]
shows such an intimate acquaintance with the
wliolocaso, with a full knotylodgo of tho English
system of misgovernuient,'siich a recapjtftla
tion of the Indian causes for complaint, and
such a thoughtful foreshadowing of the future,
that nothing but the groatest sagacity and
miliarity with tlio question, in all its bearings,
could have conceived it. As a plea' for the
mutineers, as a grave indictment against India,
it has tho strength, solemnity, and strength of
a Stato Manifesto. • Appearing where it did,
in tho mouth-piece of ilio Czar, it has startling
force. ' , ■:
. As yet, tlion, tho aotw\l interference ,df
Kussia in the affairs of British India can only
bo suspected, though it is evident that, "her
wishes—bor resentment must be strong against
England. No doubt, Russia would exult oveif
the downfall of the British domination in India.
So would not we. The petty, thrones , and
dominations of Hindustan are not worth being,
fo-cstabllshod. They, with these accompany*,
ing institutions, would be plots upon olvIl(zi. 1
tion in Asia. That England, at whatever aw :
wilt resume as full power in India as Gho .hai)
evor enjoyed there, wo look’ for as certafe;
Tho strtggle may be expensive, hut cannot be*
tedious. England is onr best customer, and '
we cannot afford, to have her woalth and credit .
weakened. We would go farther and siy,S
putting tho question on' broader and more;-
.unselfish grounds—at, this moment, Eng
land js (lie only country in Europe where
constitutional liberty has a home, where];
tho press, is free, whore, the-unfortunate,.
political oxiie, banished on account of his opin-'
ions, finds a safe asylum. On these grounds,';
therefore, we feel that the Interest of fleedom,'
the-prospects, of fair humanity, in the Old.
World, aro deeply involved In the continuance’
of England’s welibro. ,
Whilo we frankly concede this, we must as.
frankly declare, that the British systcm'of gov*'
eminent in India is not only susceptible of, but
must undergo, tho most organic changes, i
Between “John Company” in London,and
British wrongs at Calcutta, the natives of India
have boon hardly dealt with. The grinding
oppression to which they havo been subjected
was enough to causo a rebellion, and will .con
stantly renew it, if continued.
PUTNAM’S MONTHLY.
Up to tho time wo write, no o'tie seems to
know wliat is to be done with Putnam. It is
said that, a fortnight ago, Mr. Emerson, pro
prietor of the United States Magazine, bad
given $O,OOO for the copyright and stock.
Whether he will unite it with tho United States
Magazine or continue it separately, (for ho.
could scarcely have bought it only to let it
dio,) is the mystery. Tho United States Ma
gazine has gradually been improving under the
editorship of Mr. Seba Smith, (tho original
“ Major Jack Downing,”) and is strong enough
now to stand by itself. It could gain nothing
by swallowing Putnam, or being swallowed hy
it.
Putnam’s Magazine was established early
in 1853, by tho publisher whose name It still
bears. The solo editor, for some time, was
Mr. C. F. Briggs, who also conducted a weekly,
(still flourishing,) tho Sunday Courier of Now
York. Mr. Briggs, who had undivided power
as to the conduct of the Magazine, succeeded
in raising a good corps of contributors, lie
made a few mistakes—the most palpable
was his allowing Mr. Richard Grant White,
who was connected with one of the dally ad
vertising sheets, to bore the publlo, for several
months, with long-winded comments and
criticism (cbiofly ro-prodnetinns of articles by
Mf.Singerhnain TJLaclimid's magazine) upon'
tho curious volume of Shakspearian emen
dations, in whicii Mr. Payne Collier presonted
tho public with maunsoript corrections of tho
text of Shakspoaro, discovered hy hint in an
early folio edition of «tho divino Williams”—
as M. Ponsard of tho French Academy colls
tho hard of Avon.
Under the management of Mr. Bniaos, Put
nam obtained a circulation of 35,000. Why
ho leit, wo know not, hut aftor ho did loavo,
Putnam became political, strongly advocating
Abolition and anti-Southorn politics. Tho re
sult was soon apparent, in tho vast decrease of
its sale. After some changes of proprietor
ship, Putnam became the property of a New
York firm, of which Mr. Curtis, author of
“Tho Potipbar Papers,” was a member. It
reverted to Us purely literary course, and was
rapidly recovering Its circulation, when tho bu
siness-misfortunes of its new owners threw it
Into the market, and, as we have stated, Mr.
Emerson became the purchaser.
COMMUNICATIONS.
THE COMMON-SCHOOL SYSTEM.
(For The Prow.)
Mr. Editor : In a ropublioan form of Govern
ment, a public system of education scorns India
pensablo. In other forms of Government, schools
supported by individunt onterprlso might subserve
the purpose* of thoso who wield tho power ; but ia
this nation, where overy man may be a witness,
juror, judge, or rnler. and whoro evory citron ts
invested with ft share of tho public sovereignty, it
seems useless to arguo that intelligence ought to >e
tbe main characteristic of our peoplo. It (s, then,
taken for gromted that a republican notion ought
to bo inteUig«nt: Tho question, then, turns upm
tho means of disseminating that intelligence
There is established in our State a systelnof
public education, in conformity with ft oonstiitt
tional provision, but which does not seem to gvo
universal satisfaction. The writer, whole Biip>r
intendont of Cambria county, is forced to adnit
that a better condition of-educational affairs wuild
ba desirable, and there is IAO one whoso whole heart
is moro deeply tb6 present effort to
make tbe system beftor. and 46 rendor it fruitful
of good results. Tho present Jaw, pnd its pefioy,
and its administration, have )>een studied, ahd
watched, and scrutinized, with tin ardent desire to
detoot tbe chief errors and defers of tho syoem,
and to assist in their removal; and the result of tho
examination made, is that throe fhings mod bo
done.
First, tho public system mußt bo abolished: or,
secondly, tho people must be contented will tbe
present results; or, thirdly, there must bo a more
liberal grant of pecuniary aid. '
To abolish tho system would bo to relaps# into
a state of barbarism. Thjaia not saying too uueh.
One grand result of suoh a step would be the loss
of eleven thousand school houses, an nbandorfuont
of millions of dollars’ worth of property, aid a
sudden deprivation of tho moans of an education.
Directors arc a kind of corporation, and the
titles vested In them would die when the corpora
tion would become extinct. Another fearful result
would bo to give to tho wealthy portion of tho
community the power to control educational mut
ters to their own advantage, and to the disad
vantage of the poorer classes. The few wodd bo
well taught, but tho masses wonld not be cAicated
at all. Such a condition of tilings would indeod
be deplorable, and tho groatest enemy of oar pub
lic system of education would' shed tearaof blt
torness over Buoh a change, if it could bo effooted.
It is well, therefore, that tho Oonstitutior inter
poses its authority, and demands of tho legisla
ture to devise a system that shall extend tip means
of education to all classes.
Tho next proposition, is to rest contended with
the present condition of things, oxoopt so far as n
rigid administration of tho law ia eoncomod. It
is notQxpootod that tho common schools will mako
eminent scholars- Sixteen oents per imnth, the
year round, or sixty-six conU por montfc for four
months in tbe your, is not sufficient to secure a
groat education. The law only contempjatos giv
ing to each pupil tho olomonts of an En|Hsh edu
cation. Tho error lios in tho people, uho expect
too much, and not in, tho law, which provides so
little. It is true, a more prosperous ttait of things
Is to bo dosirod. But a reformation caniot bo had
with tho present limited resources, and tho very
peoplo who complain of the present ondltton of
our schools are tho v*ory ones who are opposed to
higher taxation. The law has dofoeti. This no
one denies. But any law that mortal man can
make will have defect*. Besides, tho defect may
its likely be in our judgment as in tho Uw; for wo,
too, are fallible. Now, while it is adnlttod that
anothor law could bo made, it is 'ileuled that a
better IftWoan bo dofiiotd by human legislators.
If the present law were well administered, the
chief defeots would vanish.
In this short article; tho particular provisions of
tho law cannotbe pointed <xut nor defended. It Is
euf&oiontto say that it provides tho means of ft
limited education for all cl xasos, while it protects
all classes from w*osg and imposition. Taxation’
Is necessary to social «rst§Bjcc, It is goperUly
limited so as not to become a bunion. It is so lim
ited in the sohool law, and if thepeople did not ex*
pest too much progress (br the amount of money
expended, the law would be more populnr, end tho
good results would be greater; but if they still
continue to demand greater results, tho ad
ministrators-of the law mtist resort to the third
expedient, which is more liberality in tho bestow
mont of means.
For a movement of this kind the people of Penn
sylvania are not propared, unless means can bo
obtained from other resources than taxation. Do
such resources exist? Mr. Editor, the grand ob-
Jeofcof this communication is to awaken the public
mind to the fdet that atnplo moans do exist,
and that it is the duty of the poople, at ns
early a period as possible, to adopt measures for
scouring tho existing educational resources.
There is not a State in tho “Groat West” that
does not roooive ono sixteenth of all tho publio
lands within Its limits for tho purposes of educa
tion; and in addition to this, flvo per cent, of all
the other lands in the State. Last year Dos Moines
district, /lowa, received sixty thousand dollars
alone, or five per cent, on twelve hundred thousand
dollars, j thoy build splendid houses
and gfre groat salaries. In one ward in Dcs
Moines, a house worth ten thousand dollars was
erected In one year and paid for.. In lowa oity
fivo similar buildings at an cquah-cost were erect
ed. It is so in every Western State, and. thus
far it is . entirely right. But why should the
Western States renp all these benefits? Why
should tho West gather in all the rich rewards of the
price of Eastern blood ? Have not tho Eastern, and
-Middle, and Southern States a just right to an
equal share of the prooeeds of public lands? Was
it nob as much our blood and our money that pur
chased tho publlo domain as tho money and blood
ATthe West? Istboro anyolauso in the Consti
tution that prohibits anoqua! distribution of lands,
or of the money arising from their solo, among tho
States for any; purpose, and especially for cduca
.Hoflnl purposes? Is it not unjust to say to, those
nltAtea that boro the (< burden and heat M of the
nfq wars with England, as well as an equal share
of pur Indian wars, that thoy shall never Inherit a
of the wealth that tho&wars secured?
‘lf hot argument oan be brought to hear against it ?
;The Vfestern people are well satisfied that tho Bast
receive assistance of this kind for tho puri*>-.
of education. Let the matter, then, ho pressed
Congress and out of it. Our national treasury
iuli; it requires depletion. Tho great problem
£ho past and the present Administration is to
off.what to s do with tho surplus money. Let it
f jn gif ou to educate a republican people.
more rational uso could ho mado of tho
'tetplus funds of a Republican nation? Give the
of Pennsylvania million per year, or ono
per year, and the people will soon
their alawors about a defective system of edu-
Ration, Mako similar appropriations to all the
StoLegj and wo will soon hast an oducated people.
iS'ty®, suggestion not reasonable? Is tho argu
jsent£ot feasible? Then let it be agitated. Lot
jt be accomplished, and then our present system of
Common Schools will prosper. Lot tho money
levied At our Custom House, and paid by the con
tainers in the Atlantic States, which has been ex
pended In tho Louisiana, MeslUn, and other pur
ohoses, homo book to us with tho accumulated in
terest, and we too can build largo school edifices,
and give such salaries as will cnablo our teachers
tamake their business a profession, and lay up a
competence .for old age. I must now close, but
may trouble you again with a few thoughts upon
the same subject. .Yours,
, . S. B. M’Couhick.
A ROMAN FARM.
[For the Press.]
Tho form of Oampo Mario, near tho Ciunpngnn,
consists of 17,000 acres, one thousand of which is
, laud, eleven hundred permanent pasture or
meadows, and twenty-two hundred forest. Tho
arable Jund is divided iuto four lots, which are
subject each to a different rotation of orops, and
fallows according to the nature of tho soil. Ono
whoat crop is succeeded by two or three yours*
fallows, or tho whoat crop Is followed by oats
and beans; or, lastly, after the oat harvost
in the second year, tho ground is sown with
Indian corn or beans, after which It is loft fallow
v***- vaas^andthen JEQJHUIiIb wheatagain. Tho
wheat crop, in general, roturus'aßout nTiie rortmer
■the other grains and beans about fifteen. The oul
livation of the farm rcqulressixty-five ploughs and
two hundred and twenty oxen; two hundred and
fifty bullocks aro kept fattening for the market,
besides about eight hundred cows and calvos, and
about ono hundred buffaloes. One hundred horses
are required for the cattle-drivers and servants of
tho farm, who aro always mounted, as woll as for
tho carts, do., and two hundred and fifty marcs
and oelts to kcop up that number. Two thousand
sheep graxe on the farm. Tho agents and servants
permanently employed amount to two hundred.
About four hundred laborers aro oogaged from Oc
tober to Juno, and about eight hundred in harvest
tiwo. The former aro paid from one pence and a
half to two ponce a day—from thirty to forty cents.
The latter, in gonerui, about two franca, or forty
conta. They como ohiofly from the mountains of
the Abruxxi aud Sabine. Tho rent paid to tho
Chapter of St. Potors, who are tho proprietors, is
120,000 francs, or about $6,000. Tho wholo pro
duce of the farm Is valued at, or a little over,
seventeen thousand dollars. Hut the exponsos At
tending this great establishment swallows up so
much of this sum that tho real profits of the far

THE PROSPECTS OF PHILADELPHIA.
[Frr the Press.]
Thio future greatness of our city is a theme which
should call forth all the enthusiasm of Its peopfa.
Notwithstanding the progress which has already
been made in aft those improvements which add to
& people’s prosperity, and swell the tido of u city's
renown, tuero Is still a futuro for her fur more
abundantly furnished with materials out of which
activity und onorgy can fashion wealth und com
mercial advancement. A more general knowledge
of the resources of tho State bus stimulated men of
oapitnl to engage in their development, and tho
fountains thus opened have poured their golden
streams into the city to enrieu all who are engaged
in trade or commerce. Thus has new life been in
fused into all branches of productivoindustry. Tho
imports at this port for the lost year show an in
crease of §4,910,882 over thoso 0i’1855, and $1,17-1,-
848 over those of 1854,’ while tho exports luivo also
increased, notwithstanding the reduced prices of
almost every description of produce.
The different railroad connections with this city
are moat valuable adjuncts to bo considered when
speculating upon pur futuro growth and prosperity.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, as an onlurgcd chan
nel by which trade can reach this city, cannot bo
too highly estimated ns a grand bcnetlciu! agent.
In addition to thia.thorois tho North Pennsylvania
Railroad, by which the numerous products of
Montgomery, Bucks, Lehigh, ami Northampton
counties, and the iron, uoal, and mineral wealth of
the northern portion of the Commonwealth, are
all made tributary to this metronolU. Tho open
ing of a branch road to Souford, on tho lino to
Norfolk, givos to travellers from this city, going
South, tho advantage of a through line to all the
principal points south of Virginia. In the matter of
Weatovn connections, wo are fast perfecting tho
most thorough and completo arrangement. By
way of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayno, and Chicago
road, a through lino has been arranged, which' is
attracting'considerable trhde and travol from that
section to our city. A vast amount of trade will
bo drawn to Philadelphia by means of tho Pitts
burgh and Steubenville road. When all tho works
of improvement aro fiuishod, we will have a
shorter through route from this city to St. Louis,
via £toubenviH©i than by any other modo of reach
ing that city from points as far east as this.
Tho Northwestern road, starting from Bluiisville
on the Pennsylvania roml, and connecting
with tho Clovolund and Mahoning Railroad
at Now Castle, wo bavo no doubt will ere long
direct an immense nmountfof trade wbicho entrosat
that point towards this city. Cur merchants are
well acquainted with the advantages that result
from tho Sunhury and Erie railroad. Luring tho
past eight months, a number of tlesiiabfa improve
ments have boon mado uuon it. Tho Loln.non
Valley Huilroad, from Reading to Harrisburg, has
been nut into operation. This has opened up a
rich imaoral and agricultural country, uut a little
while since almost unproductive. Trains run from
Reading to Lebanon. Connected with this im
provement is the Northern Central Railroad, ex
tending from Harrisburg to within twelve inilos
of Sunhury. When linishod it will uuito tho Loba
non Valley with the Sunhury und Erie and
also with tho Harrisburg aud Lancaster and Co
lumbia roods The Lackawanna and Dloouiaburg
Railroad, which extends from the Cutawlssa Rail
road near Bloomsburg, to Scranton, is another
link In the groat railroad system of Pennsylvania
that Will benefit this city It will bo completed in
the early part of next yoar, aud when once the
ears begin to run over tho wbolo length, tho Wyo
ming Valley, through which it passes, will vastly
he improved, and tho iraraonsc wealth imboildod
in its mountains and hills be moro fully dovoloped.
Tho Hompllold Railroad is now completed from
Wheeling to a point ono milo boyond Clnysvillo,
twonty-two miles, und is being pressed forward
with vigor to Wafhlngton, Pa , ton milos, to whioh
point tho contractors aro under obligations to bavo
tho road finished by tho 16th of September. Tho
distanco from Washington to Groonsburg, on tho
Pennsylvania Railroad, is forty-four mUos. Tho
llompfield Railroad, once completed, will bring
Philadelphia within four hundred and ono miles of
Wheeling, while tho distance from that point fo
Baltimore, by tho shortest routo, is throo hundred
and seventy-four miles. Tho connection with
Wheeling from this elty can be soonest lmd by
completing tho Ohartlors Valloy Railroad-, from
Pittsburgh and Washington, (on whioh a largo
amount of grading, has been done,) which can
and should bo complotod within six month.-*,
and by tbia au early connection would ho ob
tained between Philadelphia and Wheeling via
Pittsburgh, only inoroasing tho distanoo Boventoen
miles. Prom Baltimore to Wheollng, via Haiti
moro and Ohio Railroad, the distanoo is throo hun
dred and seventy-four miles, and via Northern
Central, Pennsylvania, ami Hempfiold roads, it will

During the month of August one hundred and

of our municipal agetioies. The record of fires

truth af this assertion. There were’only twenty
four alarms of fire during AngasL and the State

These are but a few of the items' which most bo.

CORRESPONDENCE.
FROM PITTSBURGH.
[Correspondeuce of Tho Press
PiTTSbunan, Sept. 10,
Tho Democratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania, reached this oity on Tuesday evening.
Although his visit Was unheralded, a Urge num
ber of his personal and political, friends assembled
in front of the St. Charlos Hotel, during the night.
After a delightful serenade by a band of capital
muBioians, the General appeared on tho balcony
and was received with enthusiastic obc-era Ho
.then dollvered a neat, pertinent, (tod appropriate
address, in which he exhibited the gifts of ,the
statesman and the acquirements of the scholar.
Tho impression made on tho audience was favorable
and will appeur in & largely increased Democratic
vote.
Ycatcrday the Americans of Allegheny held
their County Convention and nominated a ticket.
It Is composed for the most part of gentlemen of in
fluence and character, and respootabllity, and will
receive a flattering vote.
To day the Protestant Association is engaged in
celebrating the victory of Commodore Perry.
Tho Hon. David Wiimot has paid us another
visit. HU appearance caused little sensation, and
his address created no enthuaiosin. Like an exha*
lation, he appears and disappears with wonderful
rapidity. Your readers have all heard of the
sailor’s parrot, (owl)—.*‘he was no great speaker, but
U devil of a fellow to tfilnk. ,J 1 The Republican
candidate is not unlike that famous bird. ,
There is considerable excitement on tho sub*
jeotof taxation.' That onr railroad and county
officials have acted in & most unwarranted manner
is unqUostioncd. In consequence of this, and also
owing to the high position taken by our late Con
vention, the success of the Democratic ticket is
certain. This result Is not a mettor of doubt, and
the returns will show the correctness of my predic
tion. Our ticket is composed of excellent motu
and deserves, os it will receive, the vote of a large
majority of tho citizens of Allegheny county.*
I omitted to statu in the proper place, that, in
number and character, the Protestant procession
qL to-day was large and respectable. Some of our
oldest eltrrens appeared in regalia* and, to add to
tho interest of the occasion, many members of the
fair sex participated in the display. The appear
ance of somo of the gentlemen was military
swords wore worn—that of others was civil.
Extensive preparations have been made for
holding tho Wcstorn Pennsylvania Fair in this
city. The oxtonsiro grounds belonging to the
Society havo been placed in fine order. Tho ex
hibition will doubtless be a fino commentary on
thneniorpmo of our manufacturers and tho skill
of our mechanics.
Tho horsewomen of tho West will bo present,
and display their skill and exhibit their want of
taste by ridiug in the ring. Mrs. Pepperbox—
who, though obsoure, is sensible—tells me that her
daughter Polly is very anxious to mount ahorse
on that interesting occasion, but the old lady
threatens her with low diet. In consequence of
this, Polly will not appear at our exhibition.
It is bad enough for Young Amerioa in corduroy
to raco horses, and indulgo in tho follies of a fast

LONDON AND PARIS FASHIONS FOn SEP-
TEMBER.
Many morning negliges of whito ptquo have
been prepared for the country. They are, for the
most part, mado open in front of the skirt, and
edged ail round with a narrow bartering of needle
work. Printed jaconet likewise is a favorlto ma
terial for morning dresses. Like those of pique
just mentioned, they ore usually made open in
front, and worn over a jupon ornamented with a
tablier of needlework. Nankin, trimmed with
rows of whito cotton braid and fringo, is also very
fashionable for ladies 1 morning dresses, jackets,
and bnsquines. 1
Grey carmelito is a favorite material for dresses
suited to a plain stylo of out-door costume, espe
cially for tho country. A dress of carmelito made
with a double skirt, and trimmed with rows of
narrow black velvet, or with blue or green braid,
has nn effect at once simple and elegant.
Fora moro recherche style of walking costume
silk dresses are most appropriate. They are worn
either with flounces or double skirts; fur tho lattor
a variety of beautiful passementerie trfmmings have
been introduced, but ruches, fringe, rows of Velvet,
or fancy ribbon, still continue fashionable. Uu
flounceu dresses with single skirts have pyramidal
side trimmings, composed of various materials—as
vetvot, passementone, fringe, or braid.
A great variety of beautiful silk*, satins, and
poplins, in clan tartan and fancy plaid patterns,
are preparing for the coming soasou. Tartan will
bo fashionable, as it always is, duriug the sojourn
of tho Court at Balmoral, when her majesty fre
quently wears a dross of the Royal Stuart tnrUn,
either of silk, satin, or poplin. The lattor will
doubtless bo a highly fashionable material for au
tumnal dresses. Largo orders have already been
transmitted to the manufacturers of Irish poplins
for a variety of boautiful specimens destined to be
Included lu tho trousseau of the Princess Royal.
Ono dress of unique taste will oonslstof poplin of
a brilliant hue of emerald greeu, brocaded with
shamrooks in gold.
With regard to bonnets little or no change is
discernible in shape, though they are decidedly
worn a little more forward ou the head. The bavo
lot orourtaln at the back, being exceedingly deep
and very nmoh trimmed, gives to the bonnet the
appearance of being placed backward, without tho
discomfort of leaving the upper part of tho head
entirely unoovored. Bonnets for a superior stylo
of out-door dress are made of pallle de t»*. or of
tulle or crape bouillone, with some mixture of
silk. They aro profusely trimmed with flowers
Cornflowers mixed with wheatear and poppies of
various color# are now much employed in trimming
bonnots. The other favorite flowers for ornament
ing bonnets or caps, or for evoning head-dresses,
aie white jasmin, heliotrope, China roses, dairies,
and geraniums of various hues, and ull kinds of
wild flowers mingled with wheuteprs.
In enumerating the favorite colors of tho soason,
tho first place must ho assigned to that peculiarly
boautiful tint whioh tho French denominate run-
Ititr mauve. It is tho mixed and blended huo of
tho mallow. Tho couleur want's is at present
quite tho rugo in Paris, where it is an espooial fa

wo muy notice tho “Forget-me-not” bracelet Tho
band which encircles tho arm is formed of a broad
plait of fair hair. It is fastened by an oval snap,
m which Isa setting representing an exquisite
bouquet of forgot-me-not, formed of pearls and
turquotso. A n end of the plait, which hangs down
Joosoly on ono sido of tho snap, is finished by pen
dilcs of poarl and turquoiso. A bracelet in tho

COUNTERPART TO CRINOLINE,
[From Punch.]
Considering the grent advantago to trade which
has resulted from tho fashion, now and for feo long
a timo prevalent amongst ladies, of wearing enor
mously wide end long dresses, certain leading
tailors have, wo understand, combined, or rather
conspired, for tho i introduction of a corresponding
stylo of rnalo costume. Negotiations will immedi
ately bo Attempted with eminent Swells with the
view of induoing them to start tho contemplated
novelty; Of which the following aro the principal
particulars: Tho troweers aro to bo Increased to six
times their present circumference, und to be elon
gated by several Inches below the boots, so
that, In walkiug, it will be necessary for the
wearer to hold them up, fast he should be
ent&Dgle* in their teramaiionx, and tumble
TWO CENTS.
down. The tail of tho coat will receive an increase
amount of sereral yards, ioso
much that it will trail along upon tho ground, and
this long-tailed coat will be worn not Only in
drawing-rooms, bat also in the streets, without Tt
[ard to weather. • Thatineompleteness of the ana*
ogyofthis improved male attire to female cos
tune tatty not make it ridiculous, the present hat
will be so modified as to be brought imo keeping
with tho coat and trowpers. The modification of
(he hat will bo two-fold. The hat, on the one
hand, will bo so reduced in site, that nobo.lv will
be (ybtato get bis bead into ivbytbe crown, and
the hat will .have to be worn on the occiput, in
which situation it will be confined with springs.
Tho other style of hat will be remarkablo for an
opposite, conformation, resembling the present hat
except as' to the brim, which will be expanded to a
periphery equal to 'that of a moderately-sired
round dining-table.
It is calculated that this new style of dress for
gentlemen will find no little faror fn many quar
tets: for the swelling trowser# will oonceal the tu
mefaction. of corpulence, as also bapdy legs, knock
knees, flat feet,'corns and bunions. Tho chief ob
jection to it is Anticipated from sensible wires and
mothers, who. will think it very stupid of their
sous and husbands to wear out clothes unnecessari
ly. by having them' made so long as to trait in the
dirt, and. perform ‘ tho work of besoms or strec|-
cleanlug machines, biding good figures, and at the
same time being unspeakably cumbrous and Incon
venient. But so prevdlont among men is the mean
instinct of aping their so-called betters, that.the
associated tailors have no doubt whatever ,tbat
tp o y have only to persuade. a prince or ‘a dis
tinguished nobleman to wear the draggle-tailed,
oo at, and the huge trowser?, to insure tho adoption
of those awkward absurdities. .. , '
Ml** Sfdgwtck’i Plea for Old MsUi. ; !
■Preface to ‘‘Married 1 or JSlngle,” just published liy-
Harpers.}
: The want of an innocent occupation.' maybe
reason enough why oqe should write, bat some
better,reason or a plausible apology should be res
dered for inflicting’the writing upon the public;
for if the public, in the large. sense,’ la not obliged
to rend,* there is a small public of friends who tee!
a moral obligation to perforin their duly. And a
bard duty* U may be wtien the novel readers' mar*
ket is .supplied .by suoh producers as, Dickens.
Thuckery, Charles Reade, and Airs. Uaskeli—all
honor, praise find lore to her—and our own ’ popu
lar writers in this department. If wedo not speci-"
fy Mrs. Stowe, it is tnat she writes fop all humani
ty. Her books cannot be restricted to any class of
‘ readers, nor claimed exclusively by any department
of literature. . ‘ i .
The writer of “ Married or Single” has the fears
and faltering of a stranger in appearing before the
present public. The generation knows tober, aod
which extended n welcome and a degree of favor,
to her, has, for the most part, passed away. Most
of those friends are, • whose hearts ' vibrated
(without the vanities or selfishness of personality)
to her success, and she is left to feel, the chill and
dreariness of the “ banquet-ball deserted.’,’ " Still;'
shobas friends who speak the God-speed, and
young friends who will receive the, fruits of ;her
observation of ,the defects and wants of oar social
life with ingenuousness, and, pothipa, with some
profit; andi pogjlbly, there are those who will rel
ish better a gloss of water from our own fountains
than a draught of French concoction, whose en
ticing flavors but disguise Us Insidnous poison. 1 .
It might neem natural and decorous that one ap
proaching the limit of human life, should—if wri
ting at all—write a book strictly religious; but the
novel (and to that guild we belong) does hot Seem
to os the Ugitimate vehicle of strictly religious
teaching. Secular affairs should be permeated by
the spirit of the altar and tke temple, bnt hot
brought within tho temple’s holy precincts.
One word more—the moral of our story—to our
young female readers We have given (we confess
with some disposition to rebel) the most practical
proof of our allegiance to the aneient laws’ of Ro
mance, by making our hero and herplpe man and
wife, duly and truly. Omnia rite acta
ittnt We shall not,- therefore, be suspected of ir
reverence to the great law of nature, by which, in
erery province of her infinitely various kingdom,
“ all kindred drops are melted into o'ne.” ‘
Bnt we raise our voice with all uur might against
the miserable cant that matrimony ,is essential
to the feebler sex—that a woman’s single life mnsi
be useless or undignified—that she’is out an ad
junct of man—inner best state-a helm to guide
ihe nobler vessel Aside from the great, task of
humanity, fur which masculine capacities are best
fitted, we believe she has an independent power to
shape her own course, and to force her, separate
sovereign way. Happily no illustration is needed
at this day to prove that'maidens Can perform,
with grace and honor, duties from which wives and
mothers are exempted by their domestic necessi
ties. Our Sisters of Mercy and Charity boweyer
they may be called, are limited to no faith and to
no peculiar class of ministrations.' Their miles
brighten the whole world. ;
lTut we Bpeak especially to those of our maidens
whoso modesty confines their efficiency to the cir
cle which radiates from their lino. \Ve pray such
to remember that their sexes share of the sterner
sacrifices, as well 03 the softer graces of Christian
love, does not belong alone to the webie Fteepce
Nightingale*ofoarday,any more than tba.real
glories of feminino heroism wero once all bound to
the helmet of Joan of Arc. It is uot In the broad
and noisy fields sought by the apostles of “Wo
man’s Rights,’'that sisterly love and mMdenly
charity best diffuse their native sweetness. These
are sensitive flowers—too bright and sweet. Indeed,
as our language has just partly implied to be fully
typified by that pale plant of which it is said, that
“ Radiance smt odor are not Its dower.”
but resembling it in the essential character from
which it takes its name. The modesty and sensi
bility, which, in a greater or leu degree, belong
to these flowers as attributes, are in this, its es
sential nature, inwrought through every fibre of
its delicate texturo. The same qualities mark the
maidenly virtues among tho pure theory of wo
manly graces. These they enhance; of, those,
they are the distinctive nature. May it never be-‘
come less exquisitely distinctive
We do not, therefore, counsel our gentle young
friends to nourish a spirit of enterprise, nor, of
necessity, even to enlarge the plain and natural
eirelo of their duties. Cut in every sphere of wo
man—wherever her low voice thrills with the
characteristic vibrations .which are softer; and
iweeter than all other notes of nature's infinite
chorus —maidens have a mission to fulfill os,
serious and as honorable as those of a wife’s devo
tion, or a mother’s care—a mission of wider and
more various range. We need not describe it.
Our story will not hare been In vain if it has
done anything inwards raising the single women
of our country to the comparatively honorable
level they occupy in England. Anything to drive
away tho smile already fading from the lips of all
but the vulgar, at tho nemo of “old.maids.”
I speak by permission and not ot commandment.

The following incident recently occurred in this
city, illustrative of the proverb—" There's many a
slip ’twixt tbe cap and the lip.” A young gentle
man had for some time been paying attention to
a young lady, finally proposed, was' accepted, and
the wedding day appointed. When the happy time
arrived, tbe expectant bride .made every prepara
tion, gathered an assemblage to witness her joy,
ami anxiously awaited tho arrival of tho groom. The
fatter individual,.,wl)Q constituted so necessary a
part of the assemblage, however, did not appear,
and after waiting a long time, the party broke
up, lights were extinguished, and tho unfortu
nate maid retired to weep over her ill-treatment.
Tho next day she was unwell, and continued so for
tome time, and on the following Sunday a minister
was sent for to visit and console her in lt«r afflic
tion. On his arrival at the house, the reverend
gentleman was much surprised to see the groom
[that was to be) engaged in conversation with the
lady, and before the minister left he asked him to
perform the ceremony then, stating that he did sot
come at the appointed time bectntse it rained, and
he thought a short time would male no
reHce. This did not suit the lady, and she refused
to be married, to him Under any consideration,
whereupon he abruptly' left, and the lady reco
vered. •
