Mount Vernon.
[For The Press.]
Sin: I have observed in your valuable paper,
which 1 may say withoutcompliment is in the gene
ral very judiciously conducted, several recent
articles Laving regard to the confinatton of
Mount Vernon. One of them appears to be
editorial—and in truth embodies the sub
.stance of all the others. To that, therefore,
in addressing you, I direct my attention. For
my excuse in thus writing to you, I beg
leave to mention, that I represent the in•
tercets of the corporators of Mount Vernon, as their
counsel and friend. I have another reason for
writing to you, which is that I am perfectly fa
miliar with those matters to which the artiole in
sour paper refers ; and, therefore, can disabuse your .
Mind end that of the public, by removing those ite
preealons which they and you may erroneously en
tertain.
As I understand sour publication, it is made at
ilie 1•C ,otnt.
brokers or speculators ; some one of whom, you any,
has lost the sum of four thousand dollars. Now, be=
fore I proceed to give you a statement of the his
tory of this case, allow me to say a word or two as
to this broker's loss. If it had not boon for the
broker, it is probable the Association would have
lost comparatively but little, as the (hafts alleged
to .be forged were chiefly endorsed by him, and
thereby recommended to payment on the part of
Mr. Riggs. the treasurer. I know nothing of the
consideration fur those drafts; but Ido know that
the broker, instead ot eomplaluing, should rather
rejoice in not having been held responsible by Mr.
Riggs for giving currency to a forgery, for the loss
caused thereby ; in truth, he is still answerable.
What can Miss Pamela Cunningham, as regent
of the association, have to do with this? Not a
particle more than the president of a bank has to
do with a forged note, paid by the teller. Thorn
was no want of caution on the part of Miss Cun
ningham, and Mr. Riggs was betrayed in the pay
pielit by a skilful otanderfeit-passing through the
hands of the very man who now complains.. That
the association !net money to the amount of five or
s x thousand dollars is a painful truth ; but it re
flects no discredit upon the regent; nor does it
justify assaults, like those complained of, against
the association. To talk of the toollseation of
the property to meet the claims of brokers who
contributed to the loss of a portion of the estate,
would be perfectly absurd and unjust, even if it
were feasiblo—aud it is a suggestion that has much
more speculation in it than reason, and much less
patriotism than either,
Confiscate Mount Vernon, to gratify our merited
antipathy to secession, end our sympathy for money
changers!
In the first place, it can't be done, if all the
brokers in the land demanded it_ It belongs to
North rind South, and Diet and West, and while
you are crying out against the dissolution of the
Union you are guilty of adopting one of the prin
ciples of secession yourselves, by dividing and ap
propriating, according to your own views, that
which the Constitution and the laws hare declared
indivisible. Mount Vernon is imperial/I 525 im
yerio. It is not in the power of Miss Cun
ningham nor the State of Virginia legally
to divert it from its original purpose. The North
has contributed three-fourths of its purchase
money the South, the East, and the West, but
little more than one-fourth—and it is certainly a
net' way of paying old thi's, for brokers or
others, in these times of agitation, to attempt to
appropriate the patriotic offerings of the country
to their own pecuniary or selfish aggreudisement,
I have prevented some claims arising out of the
forgeries referred to from being enforced against,
the alleged loser of four thousand dollars, but it
certainly would be much more consistent with jus
tice that he should pay his proportion of what the
association has lost than that he should claim in
demnity through the means of confiscation for any
thing that he may have suffered by his own neglect.
Miss Pamela Cunningham, the regent of the as
sociation, whether she is from the North or South,
is a distinguished and patriotic woman, and, what is
mese, she is an honest woman—one who has made
great sacrifices to her love of country and to her
devotion to Washington, who was the pride and the
father of the country.
I condemn secession as much as you or any other
man It is as criminal as it is absurd. But we
should not allow ourselves to invoke the indigna
tion which it is calculated to produce in the mind
of every true lover of his country, for the purpose
of disgracing or crushing an estimable lady, who.
for aught that appears, lac clone uo wrong, but is
selected for an attack, simply because she is a native
of the South.
There is enough bitterness already. We are all
prepared to fight it out to the last. But I submit
it to you, it is much more manly to direct our hos
tility against men—crafty, deluded ; rebellious,
treacherous Et:rim—than wantonly to select women
as objects of attack, and that, too, where, by the
assault directed against a few individuals in the
south, we compromise the brightest, the best, and
the noblest of the sex in all other parts of the
mien, then Who have done for the country what
the men never wculd nor could do.

The Action of the Episcopal Church.
[For The Prekeij
Allow me, sir, to make an , explanation of an arti
cle in your paper of this morning, which might be
misunderstood. Without such explanation the posi.
tion of the Protestant > Episcopal Church cat the
North, before the meeting of the Board of Missionc,
could not but be regarded as an equivocal one. It
is not strictly in accordance with fact that the
Church has been compelled to show her colors.
While in conventions assembled she has carefully
dealt with those concerns of high spiritual obliga
tion that rightly belong to her, still, by the voice
of her bishops, by the special prayers pat forth by
every one of them for the success of our arms, she
has thrown the weight of her great influence on
the side of the Constitution and the enforcement of
the laws. There was no question whatever before
the house as to the expediency of continuing sala.
ries to missionaries ittIQWII to be disloyal. The
whole argument turned upon the impropriety of
assuming treason on the part of all the clergy
South, some on - stem- (Bishop Atkinson, for in
stance) arc known to be thoroughly and truly
The vote of the Board, as finally passed, decided
that no salary "shall be paid to clergymen who
hare diBclaimed connection with this Church."
The case of those who have failed to communi
cate with the Board, from the discontinuara.e of
postal facilities, is left untouched. C. G. It.

The Appearance of the Comet in Aus-
[For The Press. I
As many of your numerous readers are doubt
lessly interested in the comet that made its un
expected appearance in the Western hemisphere in
the early part of July last, I have much pleasure
in handing you the subjoined account received by
the last mail from Melbourne, Australia, of its ap
pearance and course in the Eastern world, and dif
fering as it did, from that which was witnessed
here, I have no doubt it will prove interesting to
your scientific subscribers :
"It was first. observed on the 21th of May by Mr.
Scott, the astronomer to the New South Wales Go
vernment, but its discovery eleven days before,
namely, on the 13th of May, is claimed by Mr. John
Tebbut, Jr., of Windsor, New South Wales. This
gentleman is an amateur astronomer. The cornet
was first perceived in Victoria on the morning of
the 4th of June by Professor Nenmayer, and it was
seen on every-available opportunity from that time
until the 28th June, when it disappeared. It was
situated, when first observed, in the southern hea
vens, east of the star Upsilon Eridani, its approxi
mate position being right ascension 3 h. 58 m., de
clination, 30 deg. 14 m. Its movement from the
4th to the 14th June was very slight; from the 14th
to the 19th it moved about 5 deg. • but there was
no rapid progress until about the 31st, and from
the 29th to the 28th its passage towards the sun was
greatly accelerated.
The appearance of the comet was most remark
able. It was not so bright, but was of greater mag
nitude than that of Donati. The nucleus was at
first imperfectly defined, but gradually assumed a
fun shape. On the 4th the tail measured 4 deg.,
and it gradually lengthened until the 18th, when
it measured 42 deg., making a tremendous arc.
On the 20th, a double tail appeared, but was visible
only that morning. From that time the tail
widened, and on the occasion of the last observa
tion. (2Sth June) the appearance presented by
nucleus and tail to the naked eye was that of
a red ball of fire with wings. The time for ob
serving the comet was usually from 2 A. M. to
4A. M. Mr. Ellery (Government Astronomer at
Melbourne) etateg that there is a p ossibility, though
remote, of the comet being visible i n the Northwest,
and that there is ne doubt of its being observed in
Europe after the perihelion passage."

DANYZLLE, October 9, 1861
Enirou OF THE PRESS : We notice in your issue
of the Rh that a Mr. L. Woods, of New York,
tested his new shell at the navy yard, at Washing
ton, assisted by the officers of the Ordnance De
partment. This shell is described as being "filled
pith molter' metal just before it is placed in the
cannon.'' toe to soy that the priority of :iii.
invention is justly due a citizen of this town.
Mr. Dan Morgan, the party to whom I refer, is
an intelligent and highly respectable Welshnian,
and his position as manager of the furnaces of
Messrs. Waterman and Beaver's extensive iron
seorls ; of ll.t place ; is one of the mar , proof. of
his capacity in a branch of labor to which ho has
been devoted all his life. Mr. Morgan has been ex
perimenting sours time back upon the projectile
before alluded to, and after repeated failures, but
with his characteristic perseverance, finally sue,
seeded in producing what be believes, and what
em i nen t n uthorities have prune uneel
perfect shell for the purposes before named—ft
weapon which must revolutionize existing modes of
warfare—certain in its execution, and terrible in
its destructiveness. Mr. Morgan and his friends
strongly stipect that some parties before whom this
weapon has been exhibited, have wrongfully ap
propriated the honors which properly belong to him.
Justice to an obscure but patriotic man requires
that the above lots should !)e matte known. 11
DEATR OF ONE OF THE SOLDIERS AT CARD

Cur bI.OOIIIE, KENDALL GREEN,
Near Wnahington, D. C
High and dry upon a knoll overlooking the na
tiot.al cal ital, the white canvass is stretched over
the sleeping band who have gathered to defend the
dust-trailed flag of our fathers. The stillness of the
night air is only broken by the tread of the guard
as he stops hie beat; the chilling autumn wind
sweeps through the white-walled streets, and with a
shivering embrace hugs the sleeping soldier.
The writer has an idea ; can he say anything to
those dear ones at home to relieve the anxious sigh,
hurried for the comfort, the health, the life of the
husband-soldier?
Then, from the record, will ho say all are well,
comparatively. All are comfortable, so far as a
soldier can be comfortable. The transportation
and march to Washington was marked only by the
kindness of friends.
At PhiWelt:him, the roitltnant wag simpered by

At. Baltimore, the morning meal, on Sabbath

At Washington, as the sun threw his golden

themselves around a comfortable supper at the

memory of those kind ,teen and women who pro
(tided for the refreshment ef the passing soldier..
For the six days closing with the day of the in
formation, twenty thousand men had been Shel
tered and fed.
Upon the arrival of every new regiment a depu
tation from the Sanitary Connuinion waits uptick
the medical officers, and reports accommodations
ready for all who are sick or too much fatigued for
a further march.
And permit the suggestion, that whilst our noble
women are engaged in the less-obtrusive duty of
scraping lint, making and forwarding tho usual
delicacies so much desired—even demanded—in
the sick-room, the want is greater than ever. The
writer has seen it, and speaks with authority.
Monday, at high noon, the Cameron Light Guard
took up their line of march for Kendall Green.

Tun ELECTION IN CARBON AND LEHR:IL—Car
bon and Lehigh Legislative district elects Craig
and Lichtenwallner, Democrats and Union, by a
unanimous vote. The result in Carbon for county
officers is very close all round, but enough is
known to enable us to announce the election of
Packer, Sheriff; Amer and Brodhead, Associate
Judges ; and Martyn, Auditor—Democrats : But
ler, Prothonotary ; Stroh. Register, and Cool,
Director—Union candidates. Stemlor, Commis
sioner, and Bowman. County Surveyor, were on
both tickets, and unanimously elected. For Trea
surer, close and doubtful—good chances for Riegel,
Unien.—Mated, elrkag. , Oi 4-etle.
THE ELECTION IN PITTSBUDG.—The apathy and
indifference manifested on Tuesday in regard to the
election was unparalleled in this city. The vote,
although the weather was pleasant, was extremely
light, and we have never seen so little anxiety to
learn the result of a contest, and few seemed to
take the trouble to procure or at least to bring ac
curate returns to the offices. so that nothing like
certainty as to the result could be arrived at when
went to press. We give elsewhere the returns ob.
lathed. Mr. Woods (Republican) is probably
elected to the sberiffitity. Mr. Blackmore (Union)
rune Mr. Floyd (Republican) very close for trea
surer, and is probably elected. Eaton (Republican)
is unquestionably elected prothronotary over Fin
ney (Union). Mr. Locw (Republican) runs behind
his ticket, and is perhaps beaten by Mr. Gross
(Union). Of the rest of the ticket, our returns are
too meagre for estimate. Judges McClure and
Williams, and Messrs. and Bingham for
Assembly, being on both tickets, are of course
elected.
SCHUYLKILL COVNTY.—Accordin,g to the official
returns of Schuylkill county, the following ticket
was elected : President Judge, Itcgins. (Dem.);
Associate Judges, Messrs. Rahn and 'leaner,
(Dem.) ; Senator, Reilly, (Dem.) ; Assembly,
Messrs. Ryon and Wolf, Democrats, and Rougher
' ty, Republican.
CLARION CorNTr.—The majority for Mr. Camp
bell, independent candidate for president judge of
this county, will range from 1,200 to 1,500_ The De
mocratic candidates for the other officers are
elected.
CRESTED. COUNTY.—The Union ticket in this
county is elected by over 4,000 majority. Butler,
the Union candidate for president judge, has nearly
4,000 majority over Ilemphil. Joe Daily, the can
didate for associate judge ; end Measra. Windt°,
Smith. and McClelland, the candidates for Assem
bly, on the Union ticket, are all elected.
WESTMORELAND COUNTY.—It is supposed, from
the returns received so far, that the Democratic
ticket has been successful in this county.
JUDICIAL—In the Judicial district composed of
Lyeoming, Norihumberlatd, and Montour couutica,
the candidates were Hon. John W. Maynard,
Union, and Hon. Alexander Jordan, Democrat. the
present incumbent. Maynard has about four hun
dred majority in Lyconiing, but the other two have
gone sufficiently strong for the Democrats to over
come this vote.
LYCOMIND AND CLIFTON. —In this Assembly dis
trict William H. Armstrong and James Chatham,
Union, have about five hundred majority over
Phaon Jarrett and John S. Smith, straight Demo
crats.
SENATORIAL.—In the Senatorial district COM•
posed of Union, Lycoming, Clinton, and Centre
counties, Wm. H. Blair is beaten by Henry John
son, Union.

THE ONLY PREPARATION

STOOD THE TEST OF YEARS,
AND GROWS NOR& AND MORE POPULAR EVERY DAT,
And tegihnonlf&, new, and ulumak without number,
might be given, from ladies and gentlemen in all grades
of society, whose united testimony none could resist,
that Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative will restore the bald
and gray, and preserve the hair of the youth to old age,
in ell its youthful beauty !
DA•rn.n CURRIE, Mich., Dec. 21, 1858
PROF_ WOOD: Thee wilt DIMINO MONA a line. to Inc
form thee that the hair on my head all fell off over
twenty years ago, caused by a complicated chronic dis
ease, attentleil with au eruption on the head. A con
tinual course of - suffering through life having reduced
me to a state of dependence. I have not been able to
obtain stuff for laps, neither have I been able to do
them up, in consequence of which my head has suffered
extremely from cold. Tide induced mo to Day Briggs k
Hodges almost the last cent I had on earth for a two
dollar bottle of thy Hair Restorative about the first of
August last. I have faithfully followed the directions,
and the bald spot is now covered with hair, thick and
black, though short it is also coming in all over my
head. Feeling confident that another largo bottle would
restore it entirely and permanently, I feel anxious to
persevere in its use, and being destitute of means to pur
chase any more, I would ask thee if thee wouldst not be
willing to send me an order on thine agents for a bottle,
and receive to thyself the Scripture declaration—" The
reward is to those that are kind to the widow and the
fatherless."
Thy friend. BITSANNAH KIRBY.
LIGONIKR, Noble Co., Indiana, Feb. 5,1859.
ritor. 0. J. WOOD: Dear Sir: In the latter part of the
year 1852, white attending the State and National Law
School of the State of New York, my hair, from a MUM
unknown to me, commenced falling off Nary rapidly, so
that in the short space of six months, the whole upper
part of my scalp wits almost entirely bereft of its cover
ing, and much of the remaining portion upon the side
and back part of my head shortly after became gray; so
that you will not be surprised when I tell you that, upon
my return to the State of Indiana, my more casual ec.
quaintanres were not so much at a loss to discover the
cause of the change in my appearance, as my more anti.
mate acquaintances were to recognize the at all.
I at once made application to tae most skilful physi
cians in the country, but, receiving no assurance from
them that my hair could again lie restored, I was forced
to become reconciled to my fate, until, fortunately, in
the latter part of the year 1857, your Restorative was
recommended to me by a druggist, as being the most
reliable Hair Iteetorath., in nee, I hied our bottle, and
found to my great satisfaction that it was producing the
desired effect. Since that time I have used seven dol
lars' worth of your Restorative, and as a result, have a
rich coat of very soft black hair, which no money can
buy.
As a mark of my gratitude for your labor and skill in
the production of so wonderful an article, I have recom
mended its use to many of my friends and acquaint
ances, who, I am happy- to inform you, are using it with
like effeeL Very respectfully yours,
