Blit' for these echoes' of power; there would hot bo an obstacle to a solid union of tho Dot inocratic masses of Pennsylvania upon the rock of. their old-fashioned principles. These leaders) in many casej, are men of inconside rable,talents, of.no possible, nse in party strug gles, and of present importance only because they-took occasion to surreridor early to. Mr. Buchanan’s unfortunate policy, and, with the advantage thus obtained; to rise it for purposes of division and revenge, or for the'purpose of making money. - :The special object, oftliese men, nt the pre sent time, la the hounding down of Governor Packer. They call their county meetings, and take care. to rally to these assemblages every aspirant for place at the hands of tho Collector in Philadelphia, .or the United States Marshal in the East, or the United States Marshal ig. the West —in fact. every mail who looks to Washington for patronage/—and, thus armed, proceed in the work of. denunciation’ot Governor Packer and his friends, and of adulation of Mr, Bu chanan and his treacheries. This lias lately been'the caso in Northampton, Lehigh, Berks, Chester,’ and othor counties. Nobody sup poses; (bra moment, 1 that, the mass of tho De mocratic party has anything whatever to'do .With this proscription. It serves the purposes of a few men, and is persisted in upon orders issued from Washington. It would bo the sheerest folly to expect that these proceedings wIU be tamely anbmitted to. Evon if Governor Paokbb. had not hosts of friends,.who stand ready to resent such impertinence, the fact that the Administration leaders gloryin ap plauding that which is -a most unrelieved wrong would arouse' a* spirit of tho sternest and most defiant retaliation. Who supposes for a moment that there can be any unity or any confidence between the masses of the Democratic party, if such men are permitted to act as its captains and its ora cles ? or of What use, would a Democratic no mination for Mayor of the city of Philadelphia be next year, made under such auspices 1 Can any man bo.chosen for.

The Indianrevolthas been put down, though Nena Sahib, so unaccountably a fayorite with many well-meaning Irish pooplo, has not yet been . captured,/ Another rebellion, which might havo boon followed by oven’ worse .diffi culties than the first, had nearly been matured, and has been prevented by timely concession. Tlfe first was oaused by tile disaffection of the native troops j the second arose out of the dis content of the British soldiers In India. - The army kept up, at this moment, for tho subjugation, or rather for tho continued occu pation, of Britisli India consists of neatly 450,000 men. . Tho annual cost, , before the Indian Mutiny, was $60,000,000. At presont, it is estimated at $1Q5,606,000. There arc’, in this army, 210,820 European soldiers, 207,765 native soldiers, and 89,829 nativo police. The Indian Exchequer has to pay the cost of this immense force. Laßtyear, tho Derby Administration, backed by the British Parliament, placed India upon •an entirely new basis, by transferring it from the East India Company’s ownership and ju risdiction to tho supreme authority of tho British Crown, as an integral portion of tho British dominions'. As a matter of course, it was thought the European soldiers belonging to the East India Company wore transferred to tho service of tho Queen of England.-. But these soldiers claimed that with tho downfall of tho East India Company tlioir engagement With that body was actually ended—that they had enlisted into that service, and were not liable to be handed over, without their wishes being in the slightest degree consulted, just as if they were sheep or oxen—mere property, changing masters. They contended, with force and justlco, that when they ceased to be the Company’s sol- they shonldhavo had the option of elect ing whether they would become Queen’s sol diers. In a word, they claimed tlioir discharge, or bounly-money:for ontoring the Queen’s ser vice. Atßerampore, tho Fifth European re giment, broke out into actnal mutiny, claiming the right of re-enlistment. The men entrencji ed themselves in tlieir barracks, and elected fresh officers! The afl'air soon became known in England, where Lord Faimebston emphati cally declared that the men, in common jus tice, were’entitled to their discharge or re-on listment. - The result hag beep that the Indian Government has had to yield, and the follow ing is part of a General Order on the subject recently issued by Lord Canning, at Cal cutta : “ The Qovernmont is satisfied that the objections of the men aro founded in tho caso of many of them, on an honest convietion that tbeir'rights havo been overiooked. This oonriotibn has been strengthened by the expression of opinions from high authority in England, which naturally havo had a powerful effeot on tho minds of tho men. It heß neon put forward by tho mon for most part In a soldier-like and respeotful manner, after the first excitement had passed away, consequently upon tho orders and warnings of the eommanaor-m-ehlef. Snob being the ease, and it being tho desiro of tho Go vernment of India that there should not bo oven an appearance of injnstico done to any soldier, his Excellency the Vioeroy and Governor-Gonoral of India in counoil has determined, with the full con ennonse Of the right honorable the Commandor-in ohiof, that e’very ncm-oommissionod officer and sol dier in tho throe preaHoncief, who enlisted for tho East India Company’s forces, shall, if Jic desiro it, be allowed to take his discharge unier'tho r.rovi siflßß Of <h° not for limiting tho time of servloo in tho ttrmy, E'lncli directs that soldiers taking their disoharge snail hfi eppyeyed to England, ana there finally dischargedana that ;n tho moanwhilo thoy shall eontinne to bo subject tg the Mutiny Act and the Artioles of Wnr.” This (teßflPfision has probably prevented tho actual insurmstipp pf file greater portion of the European, soldiers in ffljpfogtan. If it had broken out into violence it wop}<} have been a brief hut bloody strugglo, England has narrowly,escaped that groat peril. Not alono tho disaffection of the British troops was to bp dreaded, but the chauco of the native troops taking ndvantago of tho difll- Aulty again to raiso the fittniiopf of rebellion, while rival British regiments—the Copjmpy’ B and the Queen’s —would be In conflict. The native troops, it will be noticed, uotwithstand. ing the Jpftson taught by tho Rebellion of 1857-8, are more ffegfl .two to one as compared with tho British. Hindostan lias thus probably just escaped a great misfortune. But there are other clouds darkening the horizon. Financial dif ficulties, for ossjapje, loom gloomily in tlio ftiture and even afflict tile presont. India has. a national debt of $410,000,000, the annual charge for which, in the shape of interest, is $17,620,000. The military expenditure, for tho year ending April 80,1859, was $129,245,000. Tho estimated expenditure for 1859 is no loss than $230,057,600, while tho utmost that pah be looked for as revenue is $179,260,000. In othor words, looking narrowly at all the items, expenditure will exceed income by $51,260,000 —most of which will be raised by loan. Another great, loan ranst ho obtained next year, by which time the National Dobt of India is calculated as likely to have reached the .highly Tespectablo amount of $500,000,- 000. So Sir CiiAElEs Wood, Minister for In dia, told tho British Parliament a fortnight or threo weeks ago, and his statement was corro borated by his late predecessor, Lord SrAnnuy, who despondingly added that “ no increase of taxation was possible in India to any great amount, not probably more than half a million sterling por annum,” and that the revenue must, eye long, render assistance to tho Indian revenue. That i.s, the capability of making lpanS for India wilt fee spon ex hausted, and the British public will have te supply the $50,000,000, wanted annually to defray tho expense of governing lutlla. Such a practical step as diminishing that expendi ture seems to have boon ignored by successive Governments in India. Perish that empire but maintain large salaries! Let the natives starve, hut allow Europeans perpetually to shako the pagoda-tree! It cost the immense sum of $96,000,000 to put down the Indian mutiny. Tho year’s ex penditure is nearly $62,000,000 (for tho esti mated "'revenue cannot ho collected) more than tho year’s receipts. The Debt, which was $800,000,000 in 1857, will be up to $600,000,000 in 1860. The question arises, how can India be maintained 7 Keep on borrowing, to bear na tional expenses, and the Debt will he doubled —trebled—finally, swelled to ouch an amount that India cannot pay even the interest. ’When ever it comes to that, and the road to ruin is down an inclined plane of ono in thirteen, or so, thore will bo a fcarftil convulsion, which may end in England’s losing all hold upon India for ever and a day. If India cannot bear her own expenses, is she worth retaining 1 Or is it worth England's while to defray the annual deficits? India must maintain herself, or cease to l>e connect ed with England. Taxation in India has reached its limits. Whence, then, is revonuo to come ? ' .'Afterthe Romans had held possession of Britain for nearly five hundred years, they abandoned it as a colony which “did not pay” That is what many far-looking states men and political economists in England are now speculating upon as the conclusion of British connection with India. A colony, however imperial in extent, which annually costs some $60,000,000 more than its utmost Revenue can yield, is not worth retaining, howoYjer deeply national pride may he humili ated by abandoning it. Who Did It? The last explanation of tho Herald of tho way iu which it prooured tho WUe-Donnelly lotter for publication, is that somebody, whoso name tho He rald conceals, sold it tho copy published for twenty dollars! We do not credit this. Tho Herald re asserts the allegation that .it was inode from th 0 original, or a copy obtained after Donnelly loft tho original with Mr. Onssidy. There is'no proof whatever of the truth of this. It names Goneral Mather and I. V. Fowler, Esq., as having had oo* pies. General Mather has published aoard stating there is no truth in tho allegation with respeot to himself. Wo learn that Mr. Fowler had not any thing to do with the publication in any way; but wq arc not surprised that tho Herald should as sail him, as he is a worthy gentleman. Our theory, founded on information satisfactory to us, and the oourse of the Herald itself, has been, from the out set, that the Herald had its copy before Mr. Cassi dy saw the original, and that the deposit of tho letter with Mr. Cassidy was at tho Herald's in stance, and that all that it h&8 said about Messrs. Cassidy, Richmond, Diokinson, Mather, Fowler, &0., has been to divert public attention to them from the alloged twenty-dollnr individual whoso name is so sedulously concealed. When that narno, and the date the Herald recelvod its copy, are di vulged, this will turn out to bo the ease. We have no doubt, from all wo have heard, that the exist ence of tho Herald's copy was well known at Washington beforo tho letter was left with Mr. Cassidy, and that tho whole business was an Ad ministration intriguo to injure Gov. Wiße, Judge Douglas, Gov. Dickinson, and Gov. Soymour. We venture to predict the Herald man’s name will not be disclosed. Daniel Klinefelter, of tho firm of Kline felter & Bro., of York, Pa., had his arm dreadfully ,mangled on Monday, by beooming entangled In tho machinery of a paper mil). Italy—The lesson she Teaches to the United States. There is a lesson taught by tho history and present position of .Italy which should bo deeply impressed upon the American people. Her population istwenty-six millions, and is, therefore, nearly as great as our own. The country is one of tho most beautiful and fer tile on the faco of the earth. It has given birth to many of tho greatest mon that have ever lived. The peoplo who inhabited it in for mer ages held tho destiny of the world within their grasp, and wielded in turn, a military and commercial Bupr'omacy more extensive, power ful, and completo than any single nation at the present day possesses. Yet, notwithstanding the historic renown of Italy, the great doeds of her sons of former centuries, and tho im mense influence which sho once posscssod, sho is scarcely recognised at all as a Powor in mo dern times. Her cxißtonce has only boon pro tracted by her continuance in a state of semi vassalage to the vigorous and powerful nations of Europe. Idoas of Italian nationality liavo boon branded as mere poetic dreams or enthu siastic visions, while tho real, practical ques tion of European diplomacy has boon, whoso 'vassal sho should be; whether she should be controlled By. French, Austrian, or English in fluences j'“and in the European Conferences which at different times have considered her destiny, tho interests, feelings, wishes, and hopes of her peoplo have been totallyjgnorcd, and tho only aim has been to make such poli tical arrangements as would harmonise the conflicting foreign Governments, which have no real regard for her prosperity or welfare. While she has thus been left ut terly destitute of J rank and condition as a Eu ropean Power, her peoplo have groaned in anguish and despair beneath tho oppressions and exactions of petty despots, who, when their thrones become endangered by their enormities, or when they are indignantly driven from them, seek succor and assistance from the mighty European sovereigns to whom they have extended fealty in' exchange fop.protec tion against their own subjects. How, while there may bo a strange combi nation of causes to'produce this unfortunate condition of Italy—while some may be ready to ascribe it to tho inert character of her peoplo, or to various other influences—the great fun damental source of Italian misery is the ab sence of Italian union,' tho division pf the country into potty and .discordant States; and the inability and indisposition of those who possess the control or her destinies, to forni one grand Confederacy, which would present to tho world ns a barrier against all foreign ag gression acompactnation, and whichwouldhold all interests snbseryient to those of a common country. Louis Hapopeon evidently hasp clear appreciation of this fact, and lienee his pro, ject for an Italian Confederation, of whjch tho Pope is to bo honorary President. This plait is attended with many difficulties, and it is scarcely possible that thoy pan all bo sur mounted. Tho vory depth of Italian, wretch edness and disorder, and the greatness of the necessity for union, only increase tho obsta cles to a complete combination of her dis cordant principalities. Without puzzling our brains over this great problem of Italian politics, we can at all events discern tiio ouils jyliieh Italy suffers, if wo cannot prescribe efficient remedies for tliemj and tho great practical losson for ns, as American citizens, to learn from her present condition, is tho im portance of cherishing and preserving our osyn great American pinion. “ History ig philoso phy teapfljng by example,” and 111 0 ! 0 '5 na country whoso (lisjQiy affords lpqre iifstnictiyo warning to tho peoplo of tho United States than Italy.

But when within lior bosom jealous and rival confedera cies were formed— each warring against tho other—al)e wag shop of her ppiycr and great ' ness, and graduaily, step by step, s}je jifijlc tfj tho lowest depths of national degradation.

The civilities heretofore re stricted to those who have faithfully supported the polloy of tho Administration of tho Government, wilt, it is said, tako a wider Fftßge, and include many who havo been excladed from the eonddnpoo and the countenance of the Executive. The lie publicans, who woro compelled to go dinnerlces during tho two sessions of tho last Congress—din nerless, J mean, so far as tho President was 4 con cerned—will be duly flared for, according to cus tom ; butsuoh BomooraU as Haskin, Clarke, Schwartz, Adr&in, Riggs, Ao,, will., bp more than politely entertained if they are willing to .accept tho ready civilities of tho Chief Magis trate and his Cabinet. Sticks and stones, and blows, apd all manner of contumely, having failed to bring tfeesp to terms—having, indeed, rather inurod thom to persecution and nerved them for greator strugglos-*the salutary taflqonoo of sumptuous dinners and elegant wines will next be exerted. At tho beginning of the last Congress, when these men were supposed to bo not only powerless iq tho House, but powerless before thoir con stjtueritf, tftpre was no meanness too low, no per secution too exhibited towards them by tbd dopendpptp of of power; end when ge ?«rsl of them presented themsolyes far fm! oo ' tion, they w'c. rc branded ns “traitors” to Porno oratio principles, but with ft malevolonoo .unparalleled in politics. It turn/ however, that all tho ciphering of the Administration 'r r s anfi and aspirants ends in tho almost inevitable con clusion that in the hands of these “ traitors” rests the oontrol of tho popular branch of Congress. They are, therefore, no longor a trifling band of discontents. Coming baok, ouch with tho endorse ment of his own people, and all with thousands of Democratic votes of their return, they are objects of the profoundcst interest to the President and his Cabinet, and to every candidate who looks for ward for position in the lower House. Witness the ambrosial reception extonded to Robert J. Wolkor, who has not hesitated to employ sorno very vigorous Saxon in his allusions to tho President. He is cs cortod into tho White Houso, with infinite complN 1 ' ments, and seated at tho right hand of power. Should Mr. Horn R. Kneftss reocive the nomi nation for District Attorney at tho hands of your Democratic City Convention, I think U would not bo out of place far you to recall to the memory of tho Administration men a little incident in his his tory whioh I have heard freely commented upon hero by more than one credible witness. Do you ■remember that in Dccomber of 1844, after the elec tion of James K. Polk and Georgo M. Dallas, the Electoral College' ass.emblod at Harrisburg, and during Its sittings the body-guard of Mr, Buchan an’s friends, yourself among the number of course, appoared on the ground for tho purpose of obtain ing from that College & rccommoudaticra of Mr. Buchanan to President Polk as. the fittest .person to occupy tho important post of Secretary of State %t Among those who assisted in this “ labor of love ” wore Henry Welsh, of York, Dr. Georgo F. Loh man, and Bonjamin H. Brewster, of PhUodelpkia t Edwin W. Huttcr, (then the unequalled' editor ol* tho Democratic State paper, and one o£ tho most unflinching friends that James Buchanap ever had, and now an oloquont Lutheran in your city); Isaac G. M’Kinley, tho proprietor of the Harrisburg Union at that time, with partner, since deceased, J. M. Q. Lceoure, on 4 a uumbor of others. It was no oosy task. Tho elector from tho Fifth Congressional district, Christian Knonaa, Esq., having taken lU, and being unable to sot, it was proposed to fill the vacancy created by his ab sonse, wbeu who Bhould appear but Mr. Horn R. Knoass, who was elooted to fiU the Y/ioanoy. He was armed with instructions from to oppore the testimonial in favor of Mr. Bnohanan, and to refuso his signature to it, both of which ho did bitterly and boldly. Time works wondrous ohanges. Of all tfio men who came lo Harrisburg in December, of 1844, to induco tto Electors to perform this work, I know but onoaow living who is not arrayed against the policy,. } of Mr. Bucha nan, and whbm ho has not persistcjitly proscribed since the beginning of his Administration. Mr. ICnoass, however, who refused to 1 participate in tho recommendation referred to, and afterwards joined in the intriguo to keep the present Presi dent out of the Cabinet of Polk/, together with David R. Porter, Jumes M- Portori and othors, now the occeptod favorites of Mr. Buotyanan, is now the Administration Bnohanan oandidatc for District Attorney in your eity S Mr. did not, how ever, tiro in woll-doing. When, iu 1848 and 1862, Mr. Buoban&n was presented to tho Baltimore National Conventions, for President, there was no Pennsylvanian who labored so hard to depre ciate his chances as this same Mr. Horn R. Knoass. He has truly token tho propor course to secure the confidence and regard of the Chidf Magistrate of the United Statos. Occasional.

Yesterday morning one of the Germantown cars came down Fourth street in full speod, whoh, in stead of passing on its way as easily as had hitherto been tho enso, it went around and up Walnut street, to the intense chagrin of its conductor and driver.

All the stooks on the list are firm at the prices Quoted in the list of Sales to-day, with a rising ten ancy for many of them, which is strengthened by tho comparative ease in the money market. Tho Arabia to-day took only a quarter of a million in speoio for Europe, and there is a very fair prospeot fora renewed accumulation-of specie in the vaults of the banks. The Boston Locomotive Works has failed for $600,000, a victim to the depreciation in railroad securities, occasioned by tho storm of 1857 and the subsequent stagnation in internal commerce. "Wo are glad to be able to satisfy the anxiety of, those of oar readers who' are interested in the af fairs of the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad Com pany with the promised statement of its condition, and the proposed plan for its relief from the finan cial difficulties whioh encompass it. The apologetic remarks of the president which precede the ex hibit itself we havo to omit for want of room; yet we deem it no more than on act of jnßtice to that officer, whose exertions and efforts en behalf of the company havo been pushed to the point of extreme personal sacrifices, to give the following extract from thorn. He says: “If we have been too hope ful of its (the company’s)early resuscitation from tbo prostrate condition in which we found it, it will be borne in mind that thq past three'years have witnessed the most dlsastrons depression, in all rail way seenrities, recorded in tho nistoryof tho coun ty; and it may also be added that we ourselvos, and our immedi&to friends, are among the chief safferers both as bond and stockholders, as well as creditors.” The annual net earningsof the company’s transpor tation business will be seen; by the reports published from year to year, to have been: In 1656-7. 68 In 1857-8 - : 12000738 In 1868-9 00308 33 > Tho first year, it will bo observed, shows the larges net revenue; the second fiscal year, embracing six months of good business, preceding the panic of 1857, and six months immediately following that crisis, pre sents a falling off of about $37,000; while the year just closed, covering the last nine months of 1858, and the early part of 1859, produced less than one hundred thou sand dollars from tho profits of transportation. Tho Northwestern trade, as is well known, was greatly de pressed, and the local coal and iron business of the road almost entirely prostrated during that time.' - within the past few months there has boon some revival of its trade, and, early In the spring, the mana gers felt confident ofa gradual and steady increaao in our profits, which wouid enable the company eventually to resuscitate its affairs. . ' It is now manifest, however, that the net income of tbo road.dunng the present fiscal year, will not exceed that or last year, ns extensive repairs to its track and bridges are now m progress, which are pronounced ab solutely needful for their proper preservation and safety. The proposal now submitted, therefore, is based on an anticipated net revenue of ninetv-five thousand dollars the present fiscal yeaj, and ope hundred and ten thou sand the year following, after whioh it is believed that, with Hie revival of trade over the country, and the growth of out^business from the completion of connect* ing roads, the net income of the the third year may safely be estimated at one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. - ’* • - Tina would pay seven per cent,, on the present first mortgage of one million dollars $70,000 And six por cent, on one million dollar bonds addi tional, to be issued as hereafter proposed 00.000 The floating debt of foe company consists of the fol lowing classes i First—Tl\at owing for labor and materials, which mAy properly be considered a standing credit, and payable ns due out. of the portion of receipts appropriated to running expenses.BfB,4lQ 34 TheßO it is proposed to pay at or about maturity,which course is essential to the running of the road under any circumstances.
