According to previous arrangements, tbe American Mass Meeting, came off in this place, on Friday last. The meeting, in point of numbers, was not as large as many had anticipated it would be, but taking every thing into consideration, tbe ebort time in which is was .got up, tbe the many disadvantages the party labor under iu this County, and the unfavora ble state of the weather in the morning, the meeting was a very creditable affair. The speakers, on the occasion, were the Hon. E. Joy Morris, and H. L. Smith, of Philadelphia. The meeting organized about 2 o'clock, P. M. by the appointment of Dr Syden ham Walton, of Stroudsburg, as Presi dent, and a number of Vice Presidents, &c. The Hon. E.J. Morris, was then in troduccd to the meeting, who entertained tne aumence, lor over an hour, in a very lucid, fair, dignified and well-compacted argument in favor of tho American party. Wo do not think a more effective speech could have been made. Never did an ar gumentative speaker rivet more closely the attention of the audience than did Mr. Morris that day if we are to take the oyo and whole expression of listeners as a fair index of what they feel. After Mr. Morris concluded his remarks and musio by Pomp's Cornet and the Blniratown Bands, calls were made for II. L. Smith, who came forward and ad dressed the meeting at some considerable length, and in tbe course of his remarks took occasion to define the relative posi tions of tho American and Democratic part on tbe questions at issue before the people. The speeches of both gentlemen were instructive, and pleased the audience a mazingly. After Mr. Smith closed his remarks, ii was announced from tbe stand, by the Marshal, Mr. Lazellier, that an other litsetiug would be held at the Court House, in the evening at 7 o'clock, and that ad dresses would be made by Mr. Morris ud Mr. Smith. 0i the ringing of the Court House bell, crowds of our citizens were seen wending t.teir way thither, and in a very short time the room was filled to its utmost capacity; h great was the crowed, thatitwas diffi cult to find even a place to stand. After erder was restored addresses were made by H. K. Smith, E. Joy Morris and H. L Smith. The meeting was kept up till a late hour in the evening, ten o'clock, before an ad journment took place. We have heard but one opinion ex pressed of this meeting, and that is, "that the American party of Monroe County, 4crve much credit for this, their first ef fort at a public demonstration." United.

On Friday, the" 21st inafc., pursuant to previous notice, a largo numoer or tne American party of" Monroe County, held a meeting in front of the Female Semina ry, in Stroudsburg. Tho meeting was organized by tbe appointment of the fol- owing officers ; President, Dr. S. WALTON, Stroudsburg. Yice Presidents, Peter Shaw, Hamilton, Ferdinand Dutot, Stroudsburg, Gen. Robert Brown, Stroud, Daniel Titus, Jackson, Secretary, Jerome Shaw. Tho following persons were then an nounced as the committee on Resolutions, viz : Henry Albert Sraithfield; John Marsh, Hamilton; John N. Stokes, btroudsburg; Silas L. Drake, Esq., Stroud; Jos. Metz- gar, Hamilton, D J. Ostrander, M. B. Postens, James Palmer, Sr., Stroudsburg, and Bernard lvresge, Jackson. Hon. E.Joy Morris and H. L. Smith, of Philadelphia, addressed the meeting at considerable length. The Committee on Resolutions then presented the following, which were read and unanimously adopted. Whereas, the Republic of the United States owes its origin to the patriotism o our ancestors, who took up arms to vindi cate their claim to National Independence and tbe right of Americans to rule Amer ica; and whereas, the founder of our liber ties in his farewell message to bis fellow countrymen solemnly warned them and their descendants against the " insidious wiles of foreign influence'' as the wors foe of our freedom. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we re-enunciate these doctrines of our patriotic sires, and tha we hold that the institutions they achieved by their blood and valor can be maintain ed in tbeir original purity and lustre only by entrusting tbeir administration to men born on the soil, who have been reared np and nurtured under the benign influence of American Republicanism. Resolved, That we make this declara tion out of no spirit of hostility to the na turalized citizen, whose preference for and attachment to his adopted country we do not question, but on elevated and patriotic grounds of equal importance to his interests, and our own welfare, and that of our mutual posterity. Resolved, That the proscription American citizens, by the present Feder al administration, in diplomatic and oth er leading appointments, and in our Na vy Yards and other public establishments by the undue preference of foreignerp, unjust, illiberal and false to every feeling of national pride and honor, and is calcu lated to degrade us in the eyes of th world, as well as to kindle dangerous ani mosities and hatreds between the native and foreign born population. Resolved, That the late attempt to de stroy the system of public education, by perverting it from its original, noble and beneficial objects, into an instrument sectarian bigotry and intolerance, con joined with the effort to drive the Bible that corner stone of civil and religion freedom from the Common schools, warn us that the Papal power is endeavoring to prevent the general enlightenment of th people, and to bring about in free Amer ica, tbe same state of ignorance and raor al degradation, that prevails in those part of Europe and South America, where i is tbe State religion, and whero it pro scribes all who dissent from its thcologic al creed, from the free worship of God according to the dictates of their own con sciences. Resolved, That while we will faithfully adhere to the compromises of the Consti Itution, and religiously abstain from a interference with the vested rights of the South, we must at the same time denounce the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as a profligate breach of faith between the North and South, as an uncalled for dis turbance of a settled question, and as fa tal alike to the present and future tran quihty of the Nation. Resolved, That the violation of the doc trines of popular sovereignty by the ruf fian invaders of Kansas, in their efforts to establish Slavery by force of arm6 on that free soil, and the tacit encouragement ex tended to theiriniquitousproceeding by the Federal administration, in the removal of Gov. Reeder, deserve the reprobation the independent men of all parties, and the scorn and contempt of every lover o freedom. Resolved, That Gov. Reeder, of Kan sas, deserves the thanks of the whol country, for bis refusal to recognise th illegal Legislature of Kansas, and his stern and unyielding resistance to the mandates of an Executive, lost to all just and honorable impulses. Resolved, That we cherish the name of Americans, as the highest and holiest of political designations that the banner under which we rally, is that of our Country alone; that we owe no allegiance to party, inconsistent with our duties as Americans, and that our aspirations and aims shall be earnestly and perseverincly devoted to the restoration of the dormant spirit of National Patriotism, against all malign influences, whether propagated from Rome or elsewhere. Resolved, That we cordially approve of tbe course olthe present State adminis tration, but do not think that Gov. Pol lock understood the wishes and interests of the people of this Section, at the time he vetoed the "Stroudsburg Bank Bill." Resolved That tho proceedings of this meeting be signed by the officers, and pub lished in the Monroe Democrat and Jef fersonian. Fruits of Drunkenness. Wm. Smith, who was lately tried at Boston. Massa chusetts, for attempting to drown a boy who had laughed at him while drunk and staggering through tho Btreets, has been sent to tho penitentiary for a term of eisrbt years. A Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. The Grand Lodce of the United Statos, composed of Delegates from all the States of the American Union ana some or ine Provinces of Canada, assembled on Mon- day in annual session ai ine city oi .uain- ulUIU. J.UV uisi uoy O CllHUti occupied with the routine business in cident to a change, which takes place biennially, in the executive and adminis trative officers. The following gentlemen, elected at tbe last session, were installed into office for a term of two years : William Ellison, of Massachusetts, Grand Sire. George W. Race, of Louisiana, Deputy Grand Sire. James L.Ridgely, of Maryland, Grand Secretary. Tho following officers, appointed by the Grand Sire, were installed at the same time James W. Hale, of New York, Grand Marshal. Solomon H. Lewyfc, of Maryland, Grand Guardian. John E. Chamderlain, of Maryland, Grand Messenger. The official reports show the Order to be in a sound and healthful condition, but they do not, as in former years, indicate numerical increase of membership. The suspensions from the Order, it ap pears, have exceeded the initiations. This decrease, however, is not regarded with any solicitude. Tho retiring Grand Sire, HVilmot G. DeSaussure. Esq., of South Carolina,) in alluding to it in his valedic tory address, says : tTr enma fi.ilria nnr lnhrvrs hnw Ttftf. been blessed as in others; yet o careful ex amination will lead us to regard the de crease with no anxiety. By it the tares have been separated from our wheat, and the store thus left is increased in worth. In other places the seed has produced an hundred fold, and humanity is rejoiced by the extension of peace and good-will among men. And yet, again, new fields have beon opened for our exertions; and in the energetic numbers "building up an Empire in the Lower Provinces, in the swelling multitudes pressing onward to the smiling valleys of Western Canada, in the busy throngs congregating on the Pacific shores, great reason is furnisbod us for joy. Charity hath enlisted with men, and a whole Continent acknowledges her aid." Scenes in Norfolk. The scenes at Norfolk, the pestilenco beleaguered city are appalling. A co temporary has tho following in its corres pondence: "The hearses not being sufficient to car ry out tbe coffins for interment, recourse is had to cars and wagons, and in several instances we have seen the dismal shells of mortality protruding far out from the front of the cart, while the driver sitting beside it with perfect nonchalance crack ing bis whip, and puffing away at an a abominate cheroot! "How use doth breed a habit in a man." me negroes noia divine service in their different churches every day, and incsesant praying and sincing may be heard from morning till night. The whole week seems one continued Sunday, and one's brain is crazed by the upsetting of the regular routine of form er every day life. We seem to be in a different world, with nothing to do but to walk about with one's hands in one's pockets, and see burialsl burials! A remarkable circumstance connected with the epidemic is, that not a bird is to bo seen within the city, nor since the fe ver became general. Whether this is ow ing to the density of the atmosphere that keeps them away, or from what other cause wo are not able to say, not being philosophers or ornithologists enough to solve the phenomenon. Tho cows, in despite of the city ordi nance, wander about the city seemingly in search of lost mates, making the welk in echo with their melancholy lowing ; while gangs of half famished dogs take possession of the streets after nightfall, and render "night hideous" by their m cessant yelping and howling. Truly the very acme of distress has fallen upon ill fated Norfolk ! One of the horrible incidents that some- times cnaractcrizcs visitations such as that which has fallen upon this city was revealed this morning. A corpse that had lain unburied for eight days wa3 dis covered surrounded by the sick and dy ing. It may seem Very strange that such an event could happen, but it is not an unirequent occurrence to see whole fami lies down and not a soul near them to give a glass of water or even extend a word of comfort or sympathy. Persons are often found dead, not a soul having witnessed their illness or last agony."

There are far mers, it is said, within one mile of Ne braska City who will bet handsome suras tbat they have fields of corn which will yield one hundred bushels to the acre. Romance of Death. There maybe sadder tales in fiction than that presented in tbe following from tbe New York Express, but we know not where to find them. In Norfolk death has swept off whole tamiiies, and all tneir connections, so that in many cases, it may bodifficulttofind "the will," tbe grave, or tbe personal property of the deceased, for, in some cases, none nave neen icit to tell the talel In the case of the Norfolk Beacon office, not only were tbe Printers, Annrentices. Reporters Xc, all, or ooout all, swept off, but the Editors in ohief, both, have followed, and are now in tneir rrravesl The cases of these Editors Mr. Cun ningham and Mr. G ate wood were partic ularly harrowing. They wore connected in Norfolk, but both single men, and both could have left, but tbeir connections be- can to bo seized, and they would not nj ... - r y- " 1 A and desert them. Mr. uunnmgnam at tended upon and buried a dear friend and relativo in Mrs. Commander Barron, in her day one of the most brilliant of the Southern belles at the Bailston bpa. Almost alone, and in the dead of night, he buried her in the Barron family graye vard. aud subsequently her daughter. Capt. Starke, of the U. S. Marine Corps, a relative by marriage was next soizea, and then bis wife and her daughter, and then a near and dear cousin in Mrs. Starke's sister, all of whom ho nursed and cared for with the tendcrest interest, and with whom ho would remain, in spite of the most earnest solicitations from rel atives abroad, to abandon tbe pestiferous place but while nursing the laBt of them r ' . il. j? : j the iavonte cousin lue uiauusu seiuu him and hurried him to tbe grave.

The branches are withered, but the trunk remains in Norfolk. Death so interlaced the destinies of one with another, tha no one could leave without deserting some other, on the bed of disease and death. .... i . . i i What adds to and aggravates tuis inter esting group of facts, is, that three per snna to whom letters have been written from New-York, cnquirinir as to tho de tails of death. all three are now num bered with the dead and these letters go to the dead letter .office, the dead office indeed! When Norfolk and Portsmouth. December next again, after heavy black frosts, beccme habitable places, tho ex plorations there in deserted rooms, and deserted offices, for papers, and letters and tokens, and titles, will be about as interesting as were tbe first explorations in Herculaneum and Pompeii, but tar more thrilling. A Baby Elephant. One of the female elephants belonging to Barnum s travelling Menagerie has re cently given birth to an infant, thus dis proving the assertions of Button and uold smith that these animals never gestate while in the state of captivity. The New York Sunday Times says the one in ques tion is perfectly formed, and differs from its parent only in size, but that difference is so amazing thai it becomes ludicrous, and when one sees tbe "baby" walking to and rounder its mother, the impulse can not bo restrained to laugh at the oddity of the comparison. The bulky mother's care of her "baby" is described as ex tremely human-like and affectionate. If any apple,for instance,. is given to tho lat ter, the mother takes it in her trunk, ex amines it closely, and then, as if satisfied of its harmlessness, returns it to her infant to eat. Another Assassination at the Saint Nich olas Hotel. On last Saturday an altercation occur ed in the bar-room of the St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, between Capt. J. J. Wright and Mr. R. S. Dean, boarders in the establishment. They had been part ners in business, and Dean had charged Wright with wrongfully appropriating partnership property. In several previ ous interviews Wright had endeavored to prevail on Dean to retract the imputation, but without effect. Tho meeting on Sat urday was by appointment, and Dean, anticipating an attack, armed himself with a dirk knife. At this interview Dean per sisted in his refusal to retract the accusa tion he had made, and thereupon Wright drew a raw-rido and struck Dean across the face. At this Dean drew bis knife and plunged it into Wright's abdomen. Wright is a large man, and Dean a small one. Both have families, and are widely known in business circles- Novel Census Returns. The man who takes the census in Ad ams county, 111., is publishing his returns in the Quincy Herald. In addition to the usual information he gathers and pub lishes some unsual facts. In bis returns of Columbus township appears tho follow ing : Mrs. Maoman Thomas is tbe old est lady in the township; she is eighty seven years old. The old men are soarce in that township but three men over sev enty v jars' old. There are fifteen live wid ows in the township, and some seven California widows. I would like to see the township that could turn out abet ter looking set of widows than Colum bus. I should think Columbus is the place for widowers to get their money baek. There are some girls there too Miss Maria Wilkes weighs 260 pounds, and Miss Raugh weighs 225 pounds. There are three old ladies that weigh 250 pounds each. About one-half of all the manufactur ing machinery in Rhode Island has been stopped on account of the drought. Up on both branches of the Pawtucket river there are about 152,000 spindles, more than 100,000 of which are entirely stop ped. Upon the Blackstone it is not so dry,, but as least one-half of tho maohinery iu all the Mills is lying idle.

By a Telegraphic Despatch, just re ceived at the office in this place, we aro enabled to lay before our readers, the following highly important news. America arrived with one week's later dates. Scbastopol fallen terriffio slaugh- cr, about twenty thousand Allies and en thousand Russians killed. Sebasto- pol in ruins Fleets burned, Forts blown up, &c. Crushing out Republicanism. The fol owing extract contained in the orders of he Pope of Rome to Archbishop Hughes- of New York, who has just returned from a pilgrimage to the Holy Father, whither he went to report tbe progress of Catho- icism m America, ihc command is "Crush out Republicanism." Read it, Americans! The Pope says: "If our church is to live it must be in America. Governments and States are tottering here. Every thing is uncertain. Anothor year and a revolution may have swept away. My good Archbishop, I look to you for the future. Spread Ro manism IN AMERICA, CRUSH OUT REPUB- LICAISM. The church may before a month flee to your shores." Yes, "Lord John " crush out Republi canism and if you should find any dfficul- ty in obeying the lujunction of the "tho most holy father," apply to any of tho old; school politicions, and they will help you out for a few Catholic votes. And where is the man who will shut his eyes to this evidence to the Pope's designs in this country, and say there is no danger! Let him be scorned and detested by every lover of our free institutions, and go forth branded as either knave or a fool. Hon. James Buchanan. It is confi dently asseted at Washington, that Mr. Buchanan, on retiring from bis ministe rial career, will be immediately married to the widow of the late President Polic She is, indeed, a lady for whom one might . gladly resign even so long a life of back elordom as his. $ggHap groiccrs in western New York: are now engaged in securing their crop, which is represented as very large-. The market price of hay in Aroostock eounty, Me., is said to be $5 per ton, and large tracts of grass are left uncut, as the farmers believe it will not pay for the cutting.

The Dead and the Maimed The Albany Express, commenting up on the many railroad accidents, says: "If tbe dend cculd speak and maimed would drag themselves into court and testify,, the fifteen hundred and eighty-seven kill ed and wounded travellers of 1854 would unfold a tale of horror which would make even soulless corporations turn pale and tremble." A new game is now being: practiced upon travellers and not without success The last case of the kind occurred recent ly at Cleveland. A person accused a fel low traveller of picking his pockets on the: cars. Upon tbo arrival of the train a po lice officer (bogus) arrested him aud took him to a police court room, (also boguSj): where examination was deferred till morn ing upon the defendant's leaving $100 as security, as be bad no friends to sign, a bond.
