As a magazine of literature and pol lutes, it has no equal in the Uuited States. Each number is a "feast of reason." Mr. Douglas has introduced into the Seuate a bill admitting Oregon into the Union.

The New Law of Interest The Legislature on the eve of adjourn ment, passed a law materially changing the u-ury laws of this State. The lender ,- of mony is allowed to receive a higher rate of interest than G per cent., the legal interest, without being liable to a forfeit ure of the principal, as at present. The new law is to go into operation after the . fourth of July nest. The following is the bill as it passed the Legi.-lature. Section I. Be it enacted by the Sen ate jred House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, iu Geu- eral Assembly met, and it is hereby en acted by the authority of the same, JLhat from and after the fourth of July nest, the lawful rate of interest, for the loan or use of money, in all cases where uo express contract sh-ill have been ma:e for a less rate, shall be sis per cent, per antrum; aud the first and second sections, of the act passed second March, one thou sand seveu hundred and twenty-three, en titled "An Act to reduce the iutcrest ol money from eight to sis per cent, per an num, " be, aud the same is hereby repeal ed. "Sec. 2. That when a rate of interest for the loan or use of monej' esceeding Chat established by law shall have been re served or contracted for, the borrower or debtor shall not be required to pay to the creditor the excess over the legul rate; and it shall be lawful for such borrower ar debtor, at his optiou, to retain and de duct such excess from the amount of any such dett; and in all caes where any borrower or debtor si Mil heretofore or hereafter have voluntarily paid the whole debt or sum loaued, together with iulcr Cerest execcdiug the lawful rates, no ac tfion to recoccr back any such escess shall be sustaiued in any court of this Com monwealth, unless the same shall have Been commenced withiu sis months froiu and after the time of such payment: Pro vided always, That nothing in this act shall affect the holders of negotiable pa per, taken bona Gde, iu the usual course of bu.-iuees.

An Early Harvest The Chicago Daily Press, of . the 16th, Says: "We una by consuuiug ,ui meo that on the 27th day of June, 1857, fifty bushels of new barley from Southern Illi nois were sold in the CincTnnatti. market, and we learu further, that by the 4th of July, the wheat harvest had fairly. vCom-. menced in Uuion and adjoining counties. That was eaViy,i but judging ffouV pres ent iudic;ition, the harvest in that section of our State will commence at least a week or two earlier the present season.- Winter wheat has already attaiucd a very strong growth, and. wo should uot-bo tur prised if the fir.-t offerings ot iVgyptsboulci. be made by the middle of J.uuc. , ,. Our latent advices from Washington file promise that the nine-lived cat Ld- oomrton will be killed again iu'the Hou'-e to-day. Whether, should such bo her fate, she will stay dead auy better than formerly, is doul tful; but We' do. not see by what parliamentary juggle she can be u;aiu re-usitated. Had a motion to lay on the table been interposed at the earli est moment afur English introduced his contrivance, it would, wc think, have been fiuishcd la-t week. The debate iu the Senate yesterday did tzood execution on the juggle. Mr. Crit tenden s,urra-sed his former effort-; and the Republican Senators were most forci ble. Mr.HuEtcr fully admitted that Le compton was not to be submitted by this English project that nothing like this was intended. The Land "propo-ition'' was alone submitted. Mr. Green confirm ed this statement. After this, no sincere advocate of Popular Sovereignty can vote for that contrivance. We shall probably known how many pretenders havo sold out by to night. Tribune. 2th inst. Hr English's Bill. The determination of the Admiui-tra tion and its backer-' to-force Kansas into the Union under the Constitution whose features arc repugnant to the people of that Terriforj, and denounced by tiine tenths of the voters of the Fice States, has been o apparent as to elicit the em phatic denunciations even of its own po litical friends. The Sunday Dispatch, a neutral paper, says of the new dodge un der which their tnds are to be accom plished, "The ineffable meauness manifes ted by the National Govrrnmont in refers ence to the Lecompton Canstition, has its climax in the wholesale bribe offered to a free people by Mr English's bill. The proportion is worthy of the unjust cau-'e of the opponents of true Democracy, and it need excite but littlo wonder that such an iusult is deliberately advocated at Wahington. Reduced to plain English, the proposition includes a bribe and a threat. If the people of Kansas will ac cept the Lecompton mess of pottage, they arc offered in compensation Two sections of land in caeh township for school purposes. Seventy-two sections of land for an u uiver.-ity. Ten sections of land for public build-in;i-s- Twelve salt spiings in the State, with sis sections of land adjoining each. Five per centum on the amount of sales of public lands in the State, after its ad-mi-sion with the Lecotuptou Constitution. The lands thus offered are over twenty millions of acres, and their value is more than three millions of dollars. Such is the bribe which is offered.

The Washington correspondent of the Pc?msylva?iia Enquirer is quite enthusi astic on the subject of our Common School system. He writes as follows: Tsco that the authorities of Kansas baveappUed -to tho -Superintendent of Commou Schools of Peunsylvauia for a compktc history of the operations of the system"! n your State, and all the forms, o.used-byrthatdeartineujwilh a view to' adopting & ciitVre system Ih'thefr own' Territory. This is not only highly com plimentary to you, but shows their dis crimination and wisdom, 'inhere can-be no doubt of the fact; it Is everywhere -admitted, that the Common School system of Pennsylvania has been brought iuto a eondjtipn that render? it superior to all other's Iu this country, thereby .constitu ting one of the fundamental elements of your future grc.a.tness, as a.ditinct people. Such is" the expression, I often hear iu this citys from representatives., of. every seetien of the Uuiou. . . Without wishing to appear invidious, it, is but proper .aud, just, to tatcn tha.u much of its present excellence is due to the indefatigable labors of its pr'ent Su perintendent, who entered upon his duties originally when the Department was a perfect chaos, but who has, with an in dustry, energy, aud siuglc-hcartcdncse too rare not to.be commended jo a public of ficer, reduced its confused elements to a system of .order, as. beautiful as it is utili tarian, and made it the model for muta tion by the other States of the sisterhood. There need be no fear of the future of Kansas if she rears her youth under such a system. They will learn nothing but good, and, among their acquisitions, they will learn how much they are indebted to the good old Commonwealth of Penu-yl vania. A Eun upon the Doylestown Bak. The Doylestown Intelligencer of the 20th in.st., thus refers to a run upon the lunk at that place : "Monday the Pith inst. va the day fixed by the Relief Act of last Ottober foi the resumption of specie payments by the Ranks of this State. With a view to as- ceitain whether the requirements of the law were duly complied with, we suppose, oue of the partoers of the laukiug firm in this place commenced si gradual rui: upon the Doylestown Rank, presenting checks at sundry times through the da to the amount of some seven or eight hun dred dollars, which were promptly cashed in gold. This operation was continued on Tuesday and. Wednesday, the demand being' increased, and notes as well a checks being presented for, paymeut. Although the Rank was frequently crow ded with customers, depositing, .exchan ging, and drawing money, wheu these de mands wt-ie made, none of them wat.ted old; while many of them left considera ble amounts of the com iu exchange fo: notes. So that,, notwithstanding the gen tleman above referred to drew about --even thousand dollar-! of jjolei from the Rank during the three day's ruu, the amount ol coin in the Bank increased each dny-s-and at the close of the 'run,' v.c under stand, it amounted to near niacin t lions and dollars a sum which puts it beyond the power of any one to injure its credit e notice this matter beeacse it is one that eoucern- every member of the com munity The pro-parity and good stand-' ing Oi whom d'-pend-greatly upon tho.sta- bility of the Rank, and who would be decbly injured by even a suspicion of its. unsoundness, er a failure lo sustain its position.

" Messrs. Calhoun and Owen favored the motion to concur. Judge Nill 'of Franklin, a leading Dem ocrat in the house, also spoke feelingly and affectively against it. Mr. MoGIuie, of Franklin, one of the most accomplished leaders of the Kepuh- licans.-closed tho debute. While he was speaking, it was evident that he .was deal ing powerful and telling blow-; some of his sentences were very strong. He de elared "that if Mr. Calhoun returned to the Courts of Armstrong county, having accomplished the overthrow and sever anceofthis district, he would enter tbd.se courts with his bauds stained with Judi cial bomieide." :- Mr. Calhoun evidently writhed under this and a half, a dozen other such senten ces. He rose twice to explain, but onh became the more cmbaruscd. At last as the hour of five approached, and as Mr. Mc'Clure seemed to be growing onlv tho fiercer iu hi- attack, as it was evident that if a vote was not had ere that time, the bill would fall any how, Mr. Calhoun -prang to his feet, and amid much excite ment called the previous question. Mr. M'Clure "still continued to- speak. Half a dozen other members called out for the order of the day, which was an adjournment at five, theu only Gvc min utes off. Others moved to adjourn - -Twenty men were struggling to get tin floor. One with a deep tuso toned toiee would call out Mr. Speaker -another in a shrill tenor would halloo the same thing. M.r Imbrie, of Reaver, is particularly persi-tent in his calls. He has a point ot order to raise. He catches the eye of the Speaker. He makes his point, and the Speaker rules against him. Mr. Cal- houn is still upon his feet demanding the previous question. Mr. M'Clure is still upon his feet; he has not yielded the floor, He announces that he does not intend to fillibustcr against the bill. The Speaker grants the previous qucs- tion.

There has been rauuh talk the past two weelfs in many parts of this .county, a bouYa hermi'tiwbo was discovered about tendays" a"oVon 13uekingham!mbuntaiu, at Uie.spoliowuas"Wolfli'ocks.?i -AlY1 soils of storb s, and the tallest kind of cxagerationsj. relaticeto the hermit and his secluded place, have been put in cir culqtipji ir appears. fhal'the latter part of week before last a colored man was pa-Mug over the mountain, when he beard a noise among or under the rocks, as if it 'ca ma-out of the bowels, of theearth; Sambo priek'-d up bis car, listeued for a mo ment; and'being' satisfied that' irproeeed ed fforn; some .unearthly power,! took to his hccl8and came-down the 'tside of - the mountain like a locomotive on a bender, nearly frcightciitd but" of his Bcnses. He gave the alarm .to .several other colored men who were working iu a quarry cloe at hand. They proceeded to the mpun- taih,' t''ionci"rc'd by'ruemari who heard the terrilVle noise among the' rocks, inhab ited' by a' Human being. The negroes 'Were warned off by' the -occupant of the cave, who threatened them with death' it tbey made nearer approaches to his quar ters, Jor gave information to -any one" else. One of the colored men soon recognized the hermit, (who proved fo be a man by tbe n'ame'dl Albeit Large,) and address ed him by name, and urged htm to come o"ut bf his -retreat; llief hermit stoutly denied ' that his riamtf was Large,' and stublornly refused To hold any convers-'a tion with his visitors. The colored men informed some of the old acquaintance and frieuds of Large, living in the neigh borhood, who repaired to the mountain some time afterwards, and prevailed upon the hermit to come out of his cave and commingle with the world. He then con fessed that his name 'was Albert Large; that he Ibngfhad a Knowledge of the cave and had made it a, place of resort, at times, for the past thirty years, and, lat terly, had entiiely t-hut himself up in this reeky habitation during the day time, sallying forth at night to obtain food. His chosen spot was a secluded place on the mountain, eomtnaudiuo; a wide ranjie of the surrounding country. ' Ilia cave i ' completely hidden under the rocks, hav ing a secret entrance'. It consists of two apartments one being used as a room to live in, the other as a cellar and pantry. There was a dividing door with jams, &c The sides of the cave w re lined with boards, and the interior arrange metits had a tolerable air of comfort to one having a faucy for hermit life. Iu jress and egress were obtained by get in down on all fours and creeping under a rock. The household arrangements ol i the hermit-consisted of a variety of cook ing Implements, pots, kettles, Sec, but their condition wa-. not very inviting to a ny one hiving ideas of cleanliness.
