MONDAY, Ammar 2, 1858
LANCASTER.
So little is known in Europe of the vastness
of (lila country, that the general impression,
which there prevails, is that our thirty-two
Slates, although equal In population to the
entire IRMA Islands, must bo rather loss, in
territorial extent, than the whole forty coun
ties of England. Americana who mix fami
liarly with oven well-Informed people abroad
aro struck with this ternarksble ignorance.
In it the old country," to use a phrase which
has been Bo universally adopted that it
might be stereotyped, this opinion is too
strong to be easily rooted out. Of course,
educated people know better, but the
educated classes in England form only
a portion of the Inhabitants. Tke rest
have a gloating idea that Americans are dark
complexioned as llindoos, with an occasional
tinge of copper-color ; that "I guess". and
I calculate " are Inevitable In nearly every
sentence spoken by Americans; that the
whole of our population chow tobacco and
salivate lull circle all day long ; and that the
natural position of an American, when ho Is
not striding rapidly through the stints.
whether be be Judge on the bench, guest at a
hotel, among tho audience at a theatre; or
legislating in Congress, invariably Is with his
legs resting on a window-sill or the back of a
chair.
It would startle a regular John Bull to prove
to him that some of our Meta are larger than
many Earopoan Kingdoms, and that oven
Pennsylvania, small en extent as It must rela
tively occupy on a map of the world, is very

scribed in books. For, when half the pope :
lotion cannot read, and a moiety of the re
mainder are actually too poor to buy and
too laboriously worked to have time to read
these books, the ignorance is readily account
ed for. Besides, it was bat the other day, as
it were, when the American " colonies" were
Insigniflcant and almost unknown, and our
ancient step-mother san scarcely realise, as
yet, that they now constitute one of the
greatest empires in the world. Add to this
that John Ball has a habit of viewing the •
world through an opera-glass—turning the

sions, and institutions, and reversing the glass
so in Co bring the • minifying power to bear
upon the rest of the world.
Fess where we may through this stately
Penneylrania of ours, so affluent in all the
gins bestowed by the liberal mother, Nature,
wo are reminded, at almost every atop, of the
origin of its early settlers. They have left
memorials of themselves in nearly every one
of Ito districts. Its own name is derived from
the original founder, rue, whose energy,
wisdom, and honesty aro highly estimated
here, even despite the depreciating insinua
tions and charges of such an WNW writer
as MACAULAY. We hold it utterly impossible
that the man who is written in the world's
history as party to that great treaty with the
Indians, the only one not sanctified, in some
manner,• by a religions ceremonial, and
the only one • kept wholly inviolate, could
be the unworthy time-server and dealer
in human blood spoken of by MACAULAY. We
adopt IV. Mettfollitt DIMON'S proofs that
another person, with a somewhat similar
name, was the actual offender—that Oman
PRISE and not WILLIAM Peas was the per
son on - whom blame should rest—that the
founder of this State, humane and honest as
he proved himself in this country, never
could have boon, and never was, cruel and
corrupt in his own land. Indeed, the fact
that he was cherished for his straightforward
honesty of action and thorough independence
of purpose by WILLIAM of Orange, is suffi
cient, of itself, to disprove the suspicion that
be was hand, act, or pert In the enormous
cruelties committed, during the Blooody
Assize, by seat monsters as JEflallYB and
Knot, under the directions of that weak, bad
man, JAYNE the Seeped. The tool of that
lest King of the 111-omened line of Stuart could
never, under any circumstances, have been
the cherished friend of WILLIAM of Orange.
The names of the earliest settled States
show their English origin. Virginia, Now
England, Now York, Now Jeremy, Maryland,
the Carolinas. Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
To tills very day, we retain' those noble forests,
these well-timbered bills, which, nearly two
centuries ego, made this State known as pos
sessing the wom' of Penn, its original pro
prietor.
Naturally enough, Penn gave English names
to his counties. Chester and Berke wore un
doubtedly !quilled by him. There are En
glish, and Bucks, Cumberland, Montgomery,
Northampton, York, Bedford, Lancaster,
Huntingdon, Northumberland, Somerset, and
Westmoreland, aro of the same family, each
named from an English county. Cambria,
which wo also have, represents net a county
but a province in England. In Delaware, part
of our own State for over a century, its three
counties have English names.
As Pins called an adjacent dlstritt after a
well-known English county, so was the name
of Lancaster given to the district next beyond
it. Oddly enough, the names even yet mean
something ; the two Cheaters aro eminently
agricultural; as well u Lancashire in the old
country and Lancaster county in this State.
English Lancashire, through its manufactures,
has a population equal to that of the whole
of Pennsylvania. But ours is a new country,
while the other has been under a monarchy
for more than a thousand years.
From Philadelphia to Lancaster, by the
lino of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, the
route is through a country of the greatest na•
tural beauty, and of unequalled agricultural
wealth. The facilities *forded by railroad
communication have greatly increased the
value of this tine district, by bringing the
market• of Philadelphia, as it were, close to
each farmer's land. A more beautiful sight,
Indeed, than this route cannot be exhibited.
The prosperity which Is apparent speaks well
for the Industry and the perseverance of the
Inhabitants.
Comparing the twol.ancastens—the English
town and our own—we find a curious identity
in the populatlon„ which may bo taken at
about 10,000 in each place. Ou'r Lancaster
ranks, by population, as the fourth city in the
State; the other Lancaster, albeit capital of

the county) being most inconvenient, besides
causing much expense to witnesses. Pennsyl

works challenge the attention—the prison

Here we can at present do little more than say
that Harpers have just published a Cyclopedia

for mob a task. • Illustrated with maps and en
gravings. it is Imperial octavo in size, and contains
over 2,000 double.oolumn page., In small but very

place (in editors' Moms, counting-honsos, public
offlooo, and libraries of all degrees,) of bleCul

[For The Press.]
Dian Peasa : Since you have brought the oluba
of our own beautiful river before your many roa
dere, by.publishing a list of their titles and relit
tire strength, I have been induced - by a long ex
perience in river craft, to urge upon our young
men who ea often feel the need of a healthy re
taxation and respite from the confinement of a
busy oily life, the net:malty of outdoor ieereatto6;
and would auggest to them a Barge Club, rightly
disciplined and managed, as en almost• certain
paneeee for the file that arise from sedentary or
other town employments. In proof, and' as an
illustration, I give you a sketch of the manner in
whiob the most numerous, as well as one of the
Vest managed clubs on the river operate!. I take
this club—the oldest but one on the Sehuylkill—
not from any partiality to the partioular organ!.
nation, but that from, frequent comparison / find
its rules, drill, and above all, its strictly moral
and healthful tendencies, superior to most others,
and it may be regarded as a at model for now &apt-
rants for real aquatic honors.
On the stated weekly club night the fastest
barge is manned by a crew of the members only,
under the sole eommand of the ateereman or cox
swain, who rules with undivided sway from the
time the boat leaves the house until the party
separates. To-night, for the benefit of "green
hands," the complete drill hos to be gone through,
,consisting or a phiper and graceful nee.the,defraw . ..,
lug, feathering Ole oar, stopping the boat when at
full speed by obeying the order to "stern 1111;"
then to practise the salute the command is given
" ready, men, toss," and immediately the six oars
are raised In the air, their "looms" along the
centre of the boat, while ,their "bladed' are
placed fore and aft some twelve feet above. "Let
fall," and every oar with one sound is in the
water, ready for the "give way, men" of the cox
swain.. The drill generally continues with all the
precislen of the United States service until the
"Falls" aro reached, when, after a abort rest, the
barge proceedson her home trip; *steady, hearty
pull down wine& time, generally aceomplished in
from twenty-ono to twenty-three minutes, a die-
Mace of three and a half miles.
Oa moonlight nights, it to customary for the
members to Invite ladies .to grace tbo "party
barge" with their presence, and on theseeoossins
the Mae soprano and tenor, the deeper beet, or a
boatman's ohoins, break the stillness of the night,
and waken to harmony the slumbering echoes,
with the socompaniment of the eight of a summer
breeze and the gentle ripple that plays against
the bow. Truly, It is a benoAt to mind and body
to belong to a club such as I have described, when
all things are done " decently a;d in order," and
the exhortation, "be 'temperate," is strictly ad
hered to. Such an assootation can scarcely be
productive of also than good. Ilex DOMANI.
Letter from Lebanon.
earrospondonoo or Ths Prom)
• Skala /11781., Imartow, July 31, 1858.
On Thursday morning Lebanon was visited by a
terrible conflagration. It proved, more destine'.
tire than any ever witnessed here before. The
fire originated in a eabinetomaker shop, owned by •
T. P. Frantz. Ten dwelling boasts were deseroYed,
together with a brewery, several stables, and the
Moravian Church. The destraition of this church
is a heavy loss to the little flock who owned It, as
there wee no !neurones on' It, and most emu° five
thoulaed dollars., part of the other`proPertycon-'
sowed was lamed. Nearly all„ "the; furnitge:
the dwellings was eartrifleed, Theijiesisee were ell .
occupied by tenants, 'ldea Of thud viz per, MID
their lon thOftlfigil lett Ott; /Wei SO ripped
or tbelnall Nelda being houreleu: Mr. John B.'
Rauch, who bad a stare on the corner of Cumber
land and Plank Road streets, wee totally burned
out. The estimated aggregate of the entire lass Is
between $20,000 and $25,000. Some $5,000 of
this is presumed to be insured,
A publio meeting was held at the court house in
the evening, (Thursday,) at which J. Creme, Esq.,
presided, and William M. Breslin, BK., acted es
cemetery. The object of the meeting was to origi
nate a plan to aid the sufferers of the fire. Speeches
were made by lion. Levi Kline, J. Funk, Esq , A
S. Ely, Esq., Adam Grittlnger, Req., John W.
rob, Req., Rev. Mr. Bremner, J. Lawropoe.Right
myer, Esq„ and others. The usual block commit
tees were appointed to solicit subscriptions from
there who can welt afford to extend a little charity
to their unfortunate brethren. I em pleased to
say that our wealthy citizens are the most liberal,
on occasions of this kind, I ever met with. It Is
no Impropriety, because I am Cognisant of the
truth, to name Levi Kline, Josiah Funk, and John
W. Ulrich, es such.
The course of The Press Is approved of, without
a single dissent, and is becoming every day more
popular with our people here; and It fully de.
serves this popularity. Its leader In Thursday's
issue, defending Senator Dough., should be copied
by every Dem:trail° Journal in the State.
By the way, let me say a word to my Philadol.
phie. brothers. When you come to Lebanon, call
to see me at the Eagle House, kept by Mr. Adam
Heck. It is the beet hotel In the place, or Igoe you
may be cure I wiluld not be there. Perm

DeAR Pease : My letter from Lebanon precedes
this only a fon hours. Since the fire 00 Thurs.
day, of which I spoke, there was another yester
day, (Friday) almost as destructive. The pro.
•erb, "After one fire you may expect two
more," seems about being literally fulfilled in
this unfortunate town. Lebanon, too, labors
under great disadvantage in the viattor of water.
The inhabitants depend altogether upon wells and
cisterns for their supply of the article, limited In
quantity as it is. The importance of publio water
works, it strikes me, has berm a Subject of very
little concern. Now, however, after those calami
ties, some talk is had in regard to it. I hope it
will be more than mere talk.
