BY TUC BARD OP TOWER HALT,.
A dandy at a boll one night,
Among thepretty girls.
A lovely maiden saw, whose head
Wee crowned with golden eerie.
He watched War through the mazy dance,
And manned her tripping feet,
Her stops communing with hia heart.
Which to the mimic beat;
And in the next octillion formed
Her partner in the dance;
Hie heart's emotions were revealed
In many a tender glance.
'Twee not because her eyes were bright.
Nor that her brow was fair—
The secret of hie lave was looked
In looks of golden hair.
The ball was o'er, and he went home
And dream'd of mule of gol
The morrow came r ,
lie sought d hie love,
And all his dreamless told.
He said to her, I have a wish,
To name it I will date ;
It is that I may have a look
Of thy bewniFring hair
For in a locket it ehould rest
Forever on my heart ;
A tioaanre rare of prieeiess worth,
With which I'd never part.
The maiden said, " Your earnest wish
Shall be my heart's command;
So take the curl you want." She planed
The aoissori in his band.
He °Weed a ringlet with delight,
His heart with rapture big :
She stepped aside. an d in his lined
lie held the maiden 's wig.
He heard 'shush ; the very floor
Wm' shaking 'neath hie feet ;
And, glancing et the bald, white head,
He started for the street.
He went at once to Tower 1101,
To buy a change of " rig ;
He triad a coat, the salesman said,
" It fits you like a wig.'
" Fite like it wig !" exclaimed the man •
.
Then you the coat may keep ;
I know 'tie fine, 'tie stylish too,
And very, very cheap!
Hut as it fite me like awls,
The east would not make
And if you not me mad,
You will not oak me why.
The salesman know not why the man
A wig-like fit should soma;
Hut lately I have learned the cause;
And now the secret's out !

that a free press existed to publish the rants.
"The House owes molt to the cool amide and
patriotic appeal of Mr. Harris, of Marylard, who
brought it back to a souse of its propriety, and re•
stored peace. The throng of people in the Spacious
galleries hissed the conduct of their Reprosenta-
Brea during the affray. The explanation of Mr.
Hoskin, that the pistol displayed foil accidentally
upon the floor, satisfied the House. The apology
of Mr . Clark to the House, and to his colleague,
Mr. Mackin, for using to the latter diecourtoone
language, closed up the work of the day, whiolt
was mainly caused by the report in the of
the Sunday oonferenoo compromise resolutions.
Mr. Harris, of Maryland, having seen the roport.
announced the fact to the House, and groat was
the consternation that followed."
The correspondent of the N. Y. Tellune says
"Mr. Darrel (MCI.) and others endeavored to per.
auado Mr. Clark info) to comply with his request,
but he obstinately refused. During the discussion
the proceedings of the Coalition Conference, on
Sunday, wore disclosed, oonfirmlng the despatch in
the Tribune literally. Mr. Mackin Inquired of
Mr. Moline if Horace Clark, a professing anti.
Leoompton man, had agreed to the programme by
which Mr. Hickman's plurality proposition was to
be voted down? Mr. Clark interrupted, saying it
was none of his business. Sulfsecinently Mr. Hokin
obtained the floor, and denounced Mr. Clark's an
swer as Impertinent, with other comments not
heard in the confusion. Immediately calls to order
wore vociferated from the Democratic side, and a
rush made toward Mr. Deakin, who continued
loud and vehement denunciations. The Clerk
rapped violently, and, finally called the sergeant
at-arms, who appeared in the midst of confusion
with uplifted mane. At ono moment the whole
Home was intensely disturbed, but this principal
confusion was among the Domoaraov, who surged
toward the centre area, near which Mr. Baskin
stood. While speaking, his revolver accidentally
dropped from his pocket, which added to the ex
°Bement, from a misapprehension that It had been
drawn fora hostile purpose. I 5169 a careful spec

Mr. Baskin was evidently unconscious of what bad

deprecate the scene which bad been witnessed.
"After explanation by Mr. Bill, of Georgia, of

Malkin stated the extenuating circumstances under

Mr. Clerk apologised for giving the provocation

LIVERED IN TILE BET. GEORGE CIIARGLER's
(FrIgsnyTERIAN) 01101tC11, FRANKLIN AVEVIIS,
ABOVE UAIIILTON, OE ITEDNESDAY HYMNING
LAST.
[Hororted for 'rho Preas.l
After planting the Church at Corinth, Paul, In
a letter to the "Sanctified In Jesus Christ, called
saints" of that place, wrote that, " when be same
among them he came not with excellency of epoch
or of wisdom, declaring unto them the testimony
of Cod, for he determined not to know anything
among them save Jesus Christ, and him crucified."
Mr. Guinness' ministry, over since his arrival in
this city, has been in sinptiar accordance with this
example. While it snot be apparent to an unpre
judiced mind that he posseesen gifts as an eloquent
expounder of Scripture surpassed, or oven equalled,
by few at the present day, it is as apparent
Gist he has not chosen to gratify the critics
of mere pulpit rhetoric by preaching' whet are
commonly called "splendid sermons." Ile has
neither been careful to Wettish a reputation
for excellence of speech, or the " wisdom " which
popialarly places ministers in the category of "the
learned." That he does not !seek popularity is
evident from the fact of his making unpopular lane
vationa—knowing them to be so—upon established
rules in the churches ho occupies, such as, if made
by men of less sincerity, would soon subject them
to empty pews; yet, withal, the crowds that follow
hint are unabated. Nightly, through the week,
and thee° times on the Lord's day, he preaches to
congregations measured only by the capacity of
the churohes in which he speaks, almost without
regard to weather or location, and his invitations
for such ea are anxious about thelrsouls to remain
after the eervice, for conversation, aro responded
to by hundreds. But to his sermon on Wednesday
evening.
About the time Mr. Guinness entered the pulpit,
the choir of the churoh, consisting of some twenty
velem, with a melodeon accompaniment, executed
an anthem, entitled " Daughter of Zion," which,
being less devotional in sentiment than the
preacher felt was consistent with the solemn
object he bad in view, he stepped forward, when
they had conoluded, with this remark : " I have
a request to make that may surprise some of you.
I have come down hero to-night to speak a few
worths with such as are anxious about the salve-
Hon of their souls, and if I find that singing will in
any way interfere with this object I shall be
obliged to dispense with it altogether during the
remainder of the service;" adding, with respect
to the piece performed, "that which we have
just heard was enough to drive away every solemn
impression or serious thought." Ho would there
fore spare the choir from further pains, and, that the
congregation might generally unite in this feature
of their worship, adopt the more primitive cos
tom of giving out the hymn in two•line instal
ments, to be sung to some good, plain old air. lie
thou read tho beautiful hymn commencing,
" There is a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn front liumanuel'i value,"
giving it out as be bail suggested, and leading the
tune himself, the congregation and the members of
the ohoir—mnoh to their credit joining in; al
though not a few remarks were made, after the
Hermon, by members of the latter, if anything,
less complimentary to the minister than his veto
on theirsinging had been to them. After all, who

selialted to do so; he preaches free of obargo, tole
rating no colleollons, and his hostility to fanny
singing ought to be sufficiently understood by this
time to prevent churaline inviting him. where the
unvarnishodOompel and old•fashioned singing would
bo unacceptable.
Before entering upon hie sermon proper he road,
no is his custom,'n portion of Scripture, (part of the
tenth chapter of Hebrews,) occupying nearly a half
hour in expounding it These introductory expo-
Pillow' strike us as a valuable feature in his minis
trations, and are better calculated to fatniliarise
the minds of perms with Scripture truth than long
sermons on disjointed texts. liis course in this
particular is worthy of emulation, though it might
subject come ministers to a more habitual study of
the Word than is their wont. At the close of this
running commentary he engaged in prayer, after
which be announced his text, from the ninth chap-
words:
"TAB BLOOD OP CUBIST."
He opened by saying that he remembered having
preached, nearly three years ago, on the other
side of the Attitude, on the words, "The blood
of Jesus Christ etoanseth us from all fen."
Of mum, said ho, the dissuasion of this text
necessarily involved frequent reference to blood.
At the close of that sermon ha was told that
a Unitarian present had made this criticism:
"0, I could not boar it; nothing but blood, blood,
blood, from beginning to end. It was positively
grating." Now, this, thought the speaker, was in
some respeote a very truthful criticism ; and it wee,
in fact, his humble opinion, that the yams might
be said, with equal truth, of the Bible as a whole,
for the Word of God, strictly construed, was "Ba
thing but blood, blood, blood, from beginning to
end." There were some, indeed, who reed the
Scriptures without understanding what they read,
that might fail to see this.
Hera followed a brief episode on the intelligent
reading of the Scriptures. One perarn had said
to htm " Sir, I find no pleasure in reeding the
Bible." "And what part have you been read
ing 1" wan the response.
"0," continued the ark, "I have been looking
over all the genealogies of the Old Testament."
"But," added Mr. G., "if you aro anxionn
about your cool, you should direct your researches
to the New Testament." Portions of the Old were,
of course, valuable in that connection, such, for
example, as the 51st Psalm, the 53d chapter of
Isaiah, the 11th of Ranee, and some other portions,
yot it was in the Gospels, and the Epistles more
espeolally, that the inquirer for the way of life
would find the counsel to direct his steps. Many
persons, he thought, had strange notions respect
ing the Scriptures, and utterly failed to see the
greet drift and object of the Word. They, how
ever, who did uuderstand,would find that the Bi
ble was stained with blood throughout its pages,
that its most solemn truths were written in the
deep, Indelible dye of blood, from first to last,
There was a reason for this. As soon as man
fell, he began to think of blood. The shedding of
human blood was the first great *rime recorded
after that event. Then God began to speak of blood
In sacrifices all of which were but typical of the
blood-shedding upon the Close. The references to
this blood-shedding in the prophecies were multi
tudinous. That great sacrifice upon Calvary was
at once the theme of the prophecies, the Epistles,
and the Revelations. In the latter, we were pre
sented with the vision of this blood "carried
within the veil ;" " the Lamb of God slain (in his
purposes) from the foundation of the world;" and
the Book wound up by representing the angels
and saints singing, " worthy is the Lamb that
was slain ;" so that the blood of Jesus Christ was
kept in everlasting remembrance. In view of
this, he hold that he who saw not the whole Bible
filled with types of the blood of Christ, was blind
to the great oulsjoet upon which the Word of God
is written. We cannot, said he, make too much
of the blood of Christ, nor trust too much in
It, nor value it too highly, nor magnify It too
greatly.
Yes, dear friends, he continued, It is a solemn
truth that " without shedding of blood there is no
remission of sins " Ile felt that he was placed
in a very awkward position. lie saw immortals
by Ithndreds around him who wore passing away
to eternity, end ho mired himself the question, are
these prepared to meet their God? Then the
thought entered his mind that, while some were
prepared,
should h many, p rehaps to most of them, were not;
and what e say persuade them ? (Ills
manner here was that of one oppressed with a sense
of deep responsibility.] For if they were not washed
in that blood they must die and be damned. There
was no happy change reserved for them beyond the
grave. .! He that is filthy let him be filthy still ;
he that Is righteous let hits be righteous still; lie
that is holy let him be holy still," was the record.
Ibis heart, he said, almost died within him as he
contemplated this thought.
On entering the pulpit he had feared that some
thing might come between them and the truth, and
hence the anxiety ho had expressed in commencing
the service. Ile trembled when he reflected that
he was preaching to so ntany who had heard the
Gospel preaohed many times before without yield
ing to lie powers, and he inquired, in view of this,
are you resolved to perish ? And how was this to
be tprolded There was but ono way, and that
was by prostrating themselves, in faith, at the feet
of Josue; by putting their fingers Into the nail-
prints of Jesus' holds, and thrusting their hands
Into his side, and " be not faithless but believing,"
as our Lord said unto Thomas. It is by looking up to
a once dead, but now living and exalted Redeemer,
he added, that you onn obtain absolution from all
your sins, and from thenceforth God will impute
sin unto you no more. 0 ! how be should rejoice at
the privilege of thus admonishing his hearers, if
these words, as they fell from his lips---the
lips of one who was once a blasphemer—should
be made the instrument of loading any to embrace
the Saviour? Yet, while ho thanked God for bein
permitted to proclaim hie truth, how also should
they bless God for having been directed end
brought to the house of God ! And now that you
are here, he continued, there is but ono thing that
I ono say to you. There can be no profit in my
preaching to you about Law—that can never save
you ; nor about making good resolutions—Mat can
never cave you ; nor about morality—chat can
never sere you; nor about judgment to com a—that
can never eaveyou ; nor about what God le out of
Christ—that can never save you ; nor about the
perishing of the wicked—Ow can never s av e y ou ;
there was but ono thing that ho could my to them,
and that was, "He that telieveth• see the Lord
Jesus Christ shall be saved."
In conclusion, he exhorted all to romemb sr that
" without shedding of blood there Is no remission
of sine." In order to illustrate the force of tbk
he referred to the sacrifices offered rainier the
Jewish economy, nothewhat in this wise • Suppose,
sold he, an Israelite, in the days of Aaron the
Biel Priest, should have approached the taber
nacle for the purpose of having his sins remitted,
without bringing the prescribed sacrifice, and ad.
dressed Aaron after this manner" Thou art en
_ .
high pried of the Lord ; I have Binned, and I some
now that my sins may be remitted; I have °manned
them in my heart; have wept bitterly over thew,
and feel deeply sorry for them; and for having done
all this will not God forgive mark To thin appeal
Aaron's reply could have been no other, in sub
stance, than this: Man, without shedding of
blood there is no remission of stns." Another
might approach the high priest, and plead his
prayers, instead of bringing the prescribed offer•
ing ; another might urge the reformation which ho
had wrought in hie mode of life; Soother-might
merge his body as the heathen do—all for the
same purpose; but to all of these the answer must
be, "Man, without the shedding of blood them is
no remission of nine."
. . .
Following the above illustration, ho made this per
sonal appeal: "I want you , alt to apply this to
yowls! res." Your mere feelings, said be, be they
never so deep, oats have no merit in the sight of
God. Ono was heard to say, "if I could only
weep I should feel that I was penitent." Serious
ly; said he, I think it would he better Jor. you not
to weep, lest you attribute, by Inlstalte to the; efli•
cloy of your tears, what is alone found in the blood
of Christ. God never washed anybody's sins away
with their tears. Others sought to obtain a recon
ciliation by their pooyers. But did they think
that there was any merit in their prayers, or thabks
giving', or confessions, or begging for pardon, In
the eight jot God?, None whatever ; all these things
were imperfect, and had no teleausing offielsay,
inasmuch as they needed washing themselves.
t
They had no merit to take away sin. Some ere
trying to "turn °vet A new loaf," as they Is lled
it, in order that they might obtain peace to heir
troubled souls. Ile assured all such., that If hey
obtained peace in that way it would, at beet, prove
but a false peace ; it would be a lamp that in the
trying hour would go out and leave them in dark
ness. There was no remission of Bins without the
met in
of blood. Nor was there any in
that blood itself to the man who was untliout lilt
in that blood . To such be wohld say, sonsider . . our
ways and be wise, for until you lay your sins, by
faith, at the feet of Jeans Ohriet, you can have no
happiness, no peace, no life.
In the Apocalypse we'read : " Them are 'they
which came out of great tribulation, and have
washed their robes, and made them white irt the
blood of the Lamb," which the speaker held to be
indicative that " even the saints in heaven need
to have their robes washed in the blood of the
Lamb."
[From this it would seem that Mr. G. regards
the " saints " spoken of as beings in heaven when
the revelation was made, whereas the usual ac
ceptation is, that it wee, as all prophecies Niece
eerily must be, anticipatory, and referred fix the
glorified and redeemed of earth, as they shall ap
pear by and by.]
His concluding appeal was for those who hbard
him not to trample that precious blood under their
feet, but rather believe that, through the death of
Jesus,God could now freely forgive all their sins,
and be just in doing so. At the conclusion of the
services he requested that all present, who, had
peace with God, should retire first; and that if
there were any who felt concerned about the inter
est of their souls, they should remain some fifteen
minutes longer, as he wished to address a few words
to such more privately. In response to this 'sag ,
potion, about two hundred persona remained: Of
this large number, there were doubtless some
who did so from mere curiosity to bear;
but there were evidently many whose, ob
ject was of a deeper nature. Me remarks, ad
dressed to them, were appropriate and impressive,
and in closing he requested that all should go
away quietly to their homes, the usual singing, at
the close, having been dispensed with. AB stated,
in our " pulpit portrait' of Mr. Guinness, .soon
alter his arrival in America, be speaks entirely
without the old of notes, and in his dhoti* on
Wednesday evening, the views then expressed,
with regard to the secrets of his remarkable power,
were fully sustained. We may state th4t ho

The Germania.
For The Pram)
"I wish they would play something with a tuna
In it," said an imaginative individual, sitting in
my rear, the other Saturday afternoon, at the
erintinia rehearsal, The remark was mad,s
slog the performance of the exquisite andante from
Sehubert's Symphony in C minor—a composition,
by the way, which my friend Mr. C. very sapiently
Informed me, on hearing it for the first time, that
it sounded very much like the "Dead March"
that the bands are accustomed to perform at mill•
tary funerals ! My friend, no doubt, imagined
that be bad made a discovery, end moat probably
was unaware of the fact that there are few other
musical productions extant, written in a minor
key, besides Sehubert's Symphony, or the ns , arehe
funrbre in Beethoven's, or the Dead March in
Saul.
I have no doubt that the young gentleman above
mentioned, that expressed himself in a manlier so
disparaging to Mr. Schubert, if he have the ojight
oat latent whittle of the musical element ha his
soul, will, in the course of years, by a regular at
tendance at the truly excellent concerto of this
first-class orchestra, be enabled to appreciate not
only Schubert, Beethoven, and Mozart, but, fn the
inevitable increase which he must make in tho
Ath.ooetb or his r...am the tints will
come when even the mighty genius oritienarn
Wagner wilt eouttnand hts admiration and respect.
Ile will learn to understand why It is that the boot
of Mozart, and not of Verdi, is elevated to UZI high
and appropriate position over the stage of our
Academy of Music; and he will find that in the
permanent and ever-increasing gratification that
the study of the works ot these great masters In
the art affords oonsista the superiority which they
rightfully enjoy above all the little musical moths
that flit about the lamp of popularity, only to be
dazzled by its alluring brilliancy, and to be fatally
entrapped in its flame.
The only fault I have to find with thli indi
vidual IS, for his being so completely behind the
age, and its fashions. Tho classic in music is no
longer sneered at or dozed over, every Saturday
afternoon. Thanks to the persevering efforts of
Mr. Sento, it is becoming fashionable to adMire it.
Strauss, Leaner, Lumbye—nay, even Rossini and
Verdi—have become wearisome, and the cpmpli
ment of applause is refused them, to be bestowed
right heartily on Beethoven, or Mozart, on Men
delssohn. This age Is an ago of progress,•which
fact is evidently es true, musically considered, as
otherwise. If we do not have as groat musicians
now as there were et yore—and I do not believe
we have—we certainly have people more capable
of appreciating good mode than were our fore
fathers, on whom Beethoven masted scores upon
scores of the die-Meet harmony that will ever be
heard by mortal ears, whilst we remain so en ;
wrapped in this ‘' muddy vesture of decay,'
that we will ho Insensible to the "music of the
spheres."
It is an uneontroverted point, I think I may
confidently say, that the standard of musical taste
is much higher in Philadelphia than in any other
oily of our Union. The regular rehearsals of the
Germania Orchestra, under the lead successively of
Messrs. Bergmann and Sento, have done much to
educate the popular taste to ouch a standard.
Their performances for a number of years have
been models in their way, both in regard to their
selections and the method of their performance.
While they have frequently gratified the popular
ear by the performance of what is known as I. popu
lar music," they have never degraded the legiti
mato functions of an orchestral body by allowing a
place on their programme to such monstrous ab
surdities as Bleighbell Polkas and Railroad tlalops
Whatever acquaintance with the great master •
in musical art our people may possess, owes Its
origin to their introduction to the public through
the performances of this society. Through their
instrumentalities justice has been done to many a
composer, whose works might have remained for
ever concealed from all save the few, whose pro
fession or peculiar position may have brought them
tols knowledge of his compositions. Especially ha
this the case with two of the moat eminent composers
of our own day, Mondelssohn and Schubert; the
latter a man of sublime and lofty genius, to whom
tardy police is being done in our own times. With
the great, alerting beauties of these composers our
people have become familiar through the perform
ances of the Germania; and It argues favorably for
the prevalence of a sound and healthy taste in m
ato, when a crowded Musical Fund Ball demands
and receives an encore of a composition so elassloal
as the Nocturne of Mendelssohn's in the Midsum
mer's Night Dream. This really happened on one
occasion last spring.
I promised this article with a remark of ono who
was not, evidently, what in popular parlance would
bo denominated a critio. Allow me to conclude by
hero transferring, in substance, what a very mull
' cal and very modest young lady (musical people
are always modest) said to me the other evening.
In reply to my inquiry as to the cause of her uu
frequent appearance at the Germania Concerts, I
was informed by my fair friend that the presence
of those good, bad, and indifferent-looking young
gentlemen, who seem to have some inexplicable,
and Insuperable objections to occupying seats, con
gregated around the doors of the hall, was too much
for her sensibilities. She oonfossed freely that she
had not the courage to pass Pooh an ordeal so fre
quently as eine a week. She furthermore informed
me that she did but echo the sentiments of many
similarly situated. Being a maiden of truthful.
nem," lam in duty bound to believe her. Should
this meet the vision of those offending young men,
will they not have the good sense to perceive their
common faults, and form a firm resolve to keep
away from the doors in future Maw:um.

TWO CENTS.
Letter from Lancaster.
Correspondence of The Prue.]
UNOASTAIR, Jan. ii, 180
Mr. Bachanan's Convention of postmasters met
in solemn conclave, at Fulton Mall, this morning,
at H o'clock. As usual, the 04 postmaster called
his "fri ends" to order with chsracterletle modesty,
after which one of the faithfuls/level that Dr. Bare
be celled upon to preside over the deliberations (!)
of the Convention.
The motion was put and Itenied, wheieupon be
amended the platform, and' - proceeded to address
the representative Democrat/ of Lancaster county
upon the, great and impoifent duties which they
were eallea upon to flimflam&
After nominating foramen' or more of vice pre
sidents and secretaries, four individuals ascended
the platform and demurely took their seats, after
which the fame was enacted of telling over the
list of delegates. By dint of hard scratching and
drumming, men sufficient, were soared up to repre
sent about two-thirds of the county.
To say that these men represented the real De
mocraoy of the county is simply absurd. They
were the representatives of the petty post offices in
the county, and as such reflected the opinions, the
views, arid the Democracy of the apostate at Wash
ington, and not those of the unbought and honest
Democrats of the county.
That the Convention was packed by Postmaster
Swann and his hirelinnesnits of no doubt. Long
before the call for The Ocikrentlon appeared, over
the sign-manual of the chairmen of the County
Committee. it was known, even by outsiders, that
the men who were to compose the Convention had
been selected by that officer. Letters were sent to
every postmaster in the county, "either to come as
delegate himself or send a friend on whom he could
rely." That they obeyed, the order implicitly the
complexion of the Convention this day assembled
abundantly proves.
To show you to what lengths the particular
friends of the President were driven, I will instance
the foot that the fulsome notations alleged to
have been passed by the Democracy of Marietta
were drafted and presented by one of the most no
torious Abolition-Republicans in the county; a
man who holds up old John Brown as a martyr;
and one who, in addition, never voted a Demo
cratic ticket in his life ! Comment upon such pro
ceedings is unnecessary.
Diegneted with the utter want of good faith on
the part of Mr. Buchanan's peculiar friends, the
friends of Douglas end Packer resolved to take no
active part in the proceedings of the Convention.
They went to it with tho determination of holding
out the olive branch, and to do nothing to engender
111 feeling. All that they wanted, and all that
they asked for, was that no resolutions favorable to
the National Administration should be offered, to
which they, as good Democrats and consistent and
honest men, could not subscribe. In addition to
this, they demanded, and had a right to demand,
that the Democracy of Governor Packer, and the
leading acts of his Administration, should be em
phatically endorsed.
To these just and reasonable demands, the lead
era and getters-up of the Convention objected.
Such a course did not meet the approbation of the
city postmaster, or rather of hie master, and hence
could not be even seriously considered.
Having a clear " deck and fair play," the Co
nvention adopted a series of resolutions previously
prepared. They are of the most sycophantic
character, particularly those relating to Mr. Du
°batten's Administration, and must meet, not the
condemnation only; but the ridicule of all sensible
men.
The resolutions were reported by a Mr. North,
of Columbia. North, next to the city postmaster,
is J. B.'s principal fugleman in the county. lie
now professes to be a real, Simon-pure, original
Democrat, and yet was elooted a member of the
State Legislature upon the Know• Nothing ticket
in this county. A more bitter, prosoriptive, and
narrow-minded Know-Nothing never existed; and
now, forsooth, be claims the right to teach what
Democracy is
Such was the complexion of this Buchanan
County Convention. A more disgusting and sick
ening exhibition of petty poiltioal intrigue, cor•
caption, and imbecility, it has never been our lot
to witness

From the N. Y. Tribune of yesterdei.l
LANIMENC2, Thursday, Jan. 12 1860-12 M
An immense crowd of people still• surround the
scene of the late disaster, and the work of clear
ing away the ruins Rtilrgoex on. But three or four
bodies have been taken from the mine since yes
terday, though it 'ls positively known that there
are still snore beneath the - pile of rubbish. All
the bodies recovered; with the exception of four or
Eve, have been recognised and taken away by
friends. The funerals of some of them will take
place to-day. Those bodies which are still re
maining at the City Mill will be kept as long as
possible for identification. The greatest attention
is paid to the wounded, and a number of physi
cians end nurses from neighboring cities have ar
rived to relieve those who have been on duty since
the falling of the building. The ladies of this city
are unceasing in their attentions to the wounded,
and whenever assistance is needed, some one of
them is to bo found. Efforts wore made to throw
down the remainder of the wall, which is still
standing, and which threatens to fall at any mo
ment.
Great numbers of the operatives who ware in the
mill at the time of the accident tied on the first
alarm, and so escaped unharmed, their safety not
being known until the city was canvassed, which
amounts for the difference between the number
first reported as among the sufferers, and the actual
number. The crowd of visitors swarming into the
city from every direction was immense yesterday,
and increased rapidly during the afternoon. At a
little past noon, within the space of an hear, five
trains arrived from Boston, or intermediate eta•
tions. One of them consisted of seventeen cars.
and was loaded down beyond all precedent. Other
trains from Lowell, Manchester, Haverhill, and
stations beyond Lawrence, on the Boston and
Maine Railroad, wore constantly arriving, and
were generally late, from being overloaded. Never
was such a crowd assembled in the city of Law
rence. The sidewalks everywhere were constantly
thronged with those visiting or returning from the
mane of the casualty, and the principal avenues
were inconveniently crowded.
The number of people from other places visiting
the ruins cannot have been less than thirty then
sand. It is reported that many thlevea and pick
pockets are mixed in the crowd, and some of them
bays already been at work upon the pockets of
speotatoTe. Quite a number of policemen from
other cities have rendered valuable service in
watching these customers. Among the visitors
were some turbulent characters, with less sumac
tibllity than brutes, who were unaffected by the
seance in which the dead and mutilated of their
own species wore conspicuoue. These professional
rowdies came to gratify their morbid curiosity, and
then to have a time.
. .
A large majority of the operatives employed in
the mill were foreigners, principally Scotch and
Irish. Most of the American girls engaged were
employed in the dressing•room, and but foe of them
were killed. The hair-breadth escapee, and re
markable preservations of those rescued, continues
the general theme of ecoversation, and the preset•
'ration of many was indeed miraculous.
A large amount of money has been received a►•
ready from various charitable associations and
private individuals for the benefit of the sufferers.
Moro worthy objects of oharity could not be
found than these poor workmen and woman, wise
are, by this catastrophe, deprived of the means of
earning a living, to say nothing of their losing their
friends and relatives, or suffering from bodily in
juries of every description.

go into the paymaster's office, when 1 wee stunned
by a sensatton like an earthquake ; the door from
the main mill, the carding room, was broken out
by the hands there; I went out, and when I got
out; and stood on the railroad track, the end wall
of the mill fell down ; it was about 4} o'clock ;
saw steam escaping from the boiler after the acci

with the main building at the southwest, corner.
[The names of the deed were then reed to the wit

persons in the employ of the corporation, while the
others he didn't recollect.)
I have not a list of all those employed ; there
was one in the counting room, but it was destroyed
by Are ; after the accident I was engaged in the
rear of the building, relieving those from within,
until just before the fire got underway; alter
going away for a short time, I returned, and found
that it was too late to save the list; I bad locked
up the safe; Prank Robinson told me that he was
near by when the Are commenced; in the safe
there is no perfect list of the hands employed ; it
was left out of the safe, as the clerk was using it
at the time; the pay-roll to be produced is made
up to the last Saturday in September; there is no
means of knowing how much is due to each of the
hands, excepting that duo-bills were given to all
the bands excepting in the weaving-room, up to
the last Saturday in December; never knew of
any settling in the mill before ; thought I had not
noticed that there was not so m uch shaking w hile

Jesse Glover.—l wee overseer of the repair-Flop
of tbaitstaberton Manufacturing Company; I was
present on the corporation on the afternoon of the
10th; I was about five rode from the mill, between
our 'building and the Washington Mill, on the
track that goes through the yard.
/ was looking at the building; think I FAIT the
building settle at the lower end before I heard any
noise; then there was a Bound of wind rushing and
the flying of mortar; it commenced at the lower
and to settle, and ran right along the building as
fast as a man could run; it was immediately after
the crash that I heard the escape of Waal; sew no
bricks thrown into the air, nor timber; thick the
sound of wind wee oeculoned by the falling of the
building; the hissing was like a forty-bone en
gine, with a
_pipe broken off; didn't hear that
until the building wet half down; I supposed that
a pipe was broken ; could not tell which part of
the building gave way first.
I have examined the boiler since, and I believe it
was all right, and that there was water enough; I
went to the repair shop to see if any of the men
were hurt ; a part of the wall was knocked in by
the falling null ; I went then to the assistaboe of
those inside; I was a hundred feet from the are
when it broke out; I should think it was a little
north of the centre of the mill ; I couldn't tell In'
what room; it seemed to come from the top of the
ruins; there were a good many people about the
fire when it broke out; I have seen some little
cracks about the building, but nothing serious ; no
more than frequently seen in brick buildings; I
never did anything to strengthen the walls; think
something of that kind has been done; I have
been employed here three yolks and a half; I hare
been called upon sometimes to level the machinery,
as Is frequently necessary in all mills. -
Never levelled up more than half an inch ; setae
of the shafting has never been levelled up since I
have been there; never have been called upon to
do anything to support the foundation; when I
want there I heard of one of the pillars settling in
the cellar; I can give no reason for the felling ;
my Impression has been that the walls were light ;
I heard of some trouble to the building before I
got there. Witheas then 1/einted out a plan of the
building where he bad noticed a crack In the brick
work. On the corner next to the shop there ABS a
crack extending between the building and the
chimney the whole height.
At the top this crank was half an inch wide. and
one-fourth of an inch wide at the bottom; this
vu on the southeast corner, next to the repair
shop ; the crack ran straight up from the top rf
the boiler-house to the top of the mill; the build
ing and chimney were not built together; never
have known the walla to give way duce I hare
been there; bare moved some four fly-frames, ea
that they came near together; they weighed &bolt
a ton apiece; the men who were at work on them
were saved ; think they were not moving them at
the time; [one of the jurors said they were] ; T have
not examined the foundation giros the accident;
never have known of anything serious happening
to the foundations; think between the windowa the
walls were eighteen inches thick; the windows
were very large; have understood that the tim
bers were not bolted to the wall; think the build
ing was not so well constructed as buildings of
that else should be; thick bolts have been put In
to strengthen the chimney.

Moss ANON
Don't think many got ont the way I did ; I went
below and found the safe open; locked it and went
out; can give no idea of bow many were save?;
we have given notice to have all hands now olive
call and register their names at the Easex count
ing-tom : know of no way to get at a fall list of
those employed in the mills; I was on the milrea I
track when the tire broke out; at the time of the
twatidenethe gas was lighted in all the rams ex
cept the carding-room; Mr Pinder, superintend
ent of Washington Mills, said he saw the origin of
the fire; the masonry atlas building was done by
a firm at Lowell; Tuttle woe one of the D3Cinz , ; it
was finished late in the fall of 1.551.
Th e mill was built by contract ; the Essex Com
pany built the mill; I don't know how tho mill
was constructed ; there were cracks at each side of
the chimney, caused by the swaying of the chim
ney; they were half an inch wide at the top, and
disappeared at the second story; the chimney woo
stiffened, but not wholly on that account; the
creak followed the window corners: never saw any
indication of the building settling; the beams set
tled or sprang about two inches when we first put
them in, but they were firm in that condition. acs
were all trussed; the trusses were extra to the
contract; there were no cracks at the time they
were put in; there was another small crack, also
caused by the swaying of the chimney; the build
ing was 251 feet long and 84 feet wide ontside; at
tached to that was an Is, which did not fall; there
was also a sort of shed on the west aide, used for
weaving; noticed less motion in this building than
in other mills; always believed the mill perfectly
safe.
There was some talk about the building beim;
unsafe when it was built, but after it stood six years
I considered it oafs; there was at ono time a leak
age of the penstock, which affected the rite:-
building, and not the main mill another leakage
washed away some of the foundation from tha
,onthelet corners; the building was examined at
that time.
At the conclusion of the testimony of this lea
fless, the jury adjourned till 9 o'clock to.morrsw
morning.
The inquest will lost several days.
The Ilayor of Lawrence sends the following dze
patch to the Associated Press :
have seen nothing to change my opinion,
previously riven, as to the number of the deed 8114
missing. Measures will be taken immediately to
procure an accurate list, of not only the dea3 nri
wounded, but of all persons employed in the trill
at the time of the disaster.

Many of the bodies of the dead hare b.an
claimed and taken away by their friends, but thus)
remaining unclaimed being past identification, it
was found absolutely necessary to have them in-
terred. it lot in the cemetery, in part belonging
to the city, was accordingly set apart for that pur
pose, and the bodies were planed there. Arranga•
meats will soon be made for a public funeral of the
persons deceased, but the time and place has tot
been fixed upon as yet.

LONGEVITY ri THE OLDEN TIME.—The GET.
mantown Teler.aph, In speaking of the ages at
tained by the people of the last century, says :
"The early settlers of Germantown, who cape
rimmed the severest physical hardships, and whose
dwellings wore so insecurely constructed that every
passing blast of wind (cued Ingress, lived to very
advanced ages. Among these primitive people who
survived beyond threescore and ten, was Maier
Levering, ore of the original settlers, who died at
Roxborough in 1744, at the age of one hundred and
nine years. Arents Klincken died in his eightieth
year. He came to thiscountry with William Penn,
and built the first two-storied house in German
town, still standing, though modernized, on Tulpe•
hocken street. 'William Penn was among the
guests at the raising supper. Dr. Christopher' Vitt,
a distinguished man in his time, settled here In
1704, and died in 1763, aged ninety years. Jacob
Snyder, an early settler, died in his ninety-seventh
year. The greater portion of the luxuries and en
joyments of modern times, which oar forefathers
were ignorant of, most certainly Increase the com
forts of life, but doubtless have a tendency to les
sen the term of existence.
