JOHN N. STOKES.
Fourth of JtsSy.
gr A meeting convened in tho Court
IIouc ou Monday night, to take steps to
wards a celebration of the coming Fourth
of July in a befitting manner. Commit
tees of Finance, of Arrangement, and of
Invitation to procure Orators, &c, were
selected, and contributions received.
The sum desired to be raided is only one
huudred and fifty dollars. Wo hope our
citiiens will be liberal io contributing'to
wards raising a sum that will enable us
to celebrate the ever glorious anniversa
ry of our Nation's independence, iu a
manner that shall do credit to Strouds
burg. Probably if this small sum is not
raised, more thou Gve times that amount
will be spent by our citizens and those of
the adjoining townships in Scranton, Eas
ton or other places; and there is no rea
aon why we may not have a celebration
here, and thus keep our money from pas
ting into the hands of strangers. Tbu
aside from any patriotic considerations
for which alone, no true American citi
zen should refuse to subscribe liberally;
the question becomes one of pecuniary in
terest, and we arc sure that a good cele
bration will call many people into town,
and will thus tell strongly upon the busi
ness of our business men. So dont be
afraid to subscribe liberally, especially
those who arc engaged in bu-iness, for
jou will be well rewarded.
P. S. Since the above was in type,
we are happy to announce that we have
learned the necessary strps hate been ta
ken to secure a good celebration in
Slroudsburg. Q'be celebration, then, is a
fixed fact, so none need go away from
home in order to pay due respect to our
Nation's birth day. It is the inteutioc of
our citizens to make the celebration as
good as circumstances will po-sibly ad
mit. So pmpare for tho CELEBRA
TION OF THE iih OF July IN
STROUD3BORG. Promiuent Orators
will be secured. Two Military Compan
ies have promised to certainly be present.
The Fantastio Company will be on hand
to make fun for all. There will be a
grand display of Firo Works in the eve
ning of the 4tb, under the superintend
ence of an experienced and skillful pyro
technist. It is too early for a complete
.programme, which will appear next week.
IQ3 A. Shoemaker & Co's grand Gift
Enterprise will be drawn on the 4th of
July, in this place, and all ticket holders
are hereby invited to be present.

Speaking of this institution, which col
lapsed rather suddenly a few days ago,
tbe Hollidayaburg Wldg says: "Since
our last publication the 'Central Bank'
baa resumed payment, not, however, on
all of its issue, but one luuf. It is believ
ed that the Bank will recover from its
sudden refusal to redeem its currency,
and that it will be all right iu a short
time. Wc would advise persons holding
the money not to sell it for less than it
face', as it is believed that it will be all re
deemed, and the bank made solvent.

THE CITIZENS MEETING.
Pursuant to previous notice, a large

purpose of puttiDg down an imposition
attempted to be practiced by the "Monroe

him by tho large audience, gave general
satisfaction.
Tho Committee submitted the follow
in Resolutions, which were read by the

Whereas, tho Physicians of this Coun

themselves for the purpo-e, as we believe,
of increasing the rates of their charges;
and whereas, tbev have by this means.
7 it
established a uniform list of largo and
uuusual fees, for attendance in many o(
the most uual cases that arise in a phy-
sioians practice. Therefore
Resolved, That while wc believe that
Physicians should be well paid for their
services, yet we look upon all combina
tions among themselves, for the purpose
of extorting any larger fees than they
have been accustomed to receive, as a
culpable effort to take advautage of peo
ples necessities, and therefore in a high
decree censurable.
And lUsolved, That we recommend
thcttaking of such steps as may be thought
feasible, for the purpose of securing the
services of another physician out side of
this combination, to practice in this vi
cinity, who will be willing to attend to
the wants of the people for a rcosooable
compensation.
Re-ohed, That we would recommend
to the citizens of each and every township
in Monroe county, to hold meetings and
adopt such measures as they may think
proper.
On motion. John N. Stokes, John Ed

The Scientific American.
The publishers of this widely circulated
and popular illustrated weekly journal o!
mechanics and science, announce that it
will be enlarged on the first of July, and
otherwise greatly improved, containing
sixteen pages instead of eight, the present
size, which will make it the largest and
cheapest scientific journal in the world;
it is the only journal of its class that ha
ever succeeded in this country, and main
taius a character for authority in all mat
ters of mechanics, science and the arts,
which is not excelled by any other jour
nal published in this country or in Eu
rope. Although the publishers will incur
an increased expense of S8,000 a year
by this enlargement, they have determin
ed not to raise tho price of subscription,
relying npou their friends to indemnify
them in this increased expenditure, by a
corresponding increase of subscribers.

An Adventure.
A boy who had been brought up in a
log house m Illinois, which, of course,
was not much encumbered with useless
furniture, was sent one day on an errand
to a neighbor's house, where several arti
cles of more fashionable contrivance bad
just been received from tbe "Eastward,"
and. among other things, a looking glass,
which was suspended opposite the door.
The boy bad never before seen his own
face; aud whe on entering the house, the
first object which presented itself to his
view was a dirty looking pbiz, surround
ed by long, shaggy yellow hair, &o., he
was so frighted that, without further cer
emony, he ran home as fast as his legs
could oarry him, exclaiming, "Daddy,

A Good Endorsement.. I
The York Pennsylnanian, a strictly
neutral paper, published by Daniel A
Frey; alludes to our candidate for Audi
tor General in terms highly commendato
ry! and.from an unprejudiced stand -point.
The Pennsylvania?! says:
"Tho candidate for the office of Audi
tor General being a resident of this Bo
rough, it becomes us to attest to tho es
teem in which he is held, by men of all
praties. Honesty and qualifications for
the office, will be conceded to Mr. Coch
ran, by the leaders and masses of the Dem
ocratic jmrly in lids county , and the votes
which he may fail to command at home,
will be cast against him, maiuly, in con
scqueuco of adhesion to party, and not on
account of any flaws in his oharactcr, for
none can be found. Indeed, Mr. Coch
ran is too good a citizen to be a politi
cian.

The Eeport of Rich Diggings Confirmed
Loavenwortb, June 21, 1959.
The Overland Express arrived here on
Sunday night, eight days from Denver
City, bringing a large mail and 2,500
in cold dust. The previous extraordina-
ry reports ol aiscovenes iu uregory s,
Jackson's and other mining camps, are
fully confirmed. Mr. Horrace Greely ar
rived out in less than seven days; he had
visited Gregory's diggings, and signed a
public communication indorsing the rich
ness of tho claims. Thousands are pour
in into tho new placers; forty sluices will
soon be in operation at Gregory s camp
The result of tbe operations of thirteeu
companies, given in Mr. Greely s pub
lished letters, shows as the highest du;'s
yield from $510.
A company from South Bend, Indian
na has taken out three thousand penny
weights of gold dust with a sluice within
three weeks. Gregory's two claims were
sold for 21,000; other details are in a
similar vein. Returned emigrants are
departing daily from Leavenworth, bound
to go through against all hazzards. The
excitement is becoming intense. Messrs.
Jones & Rusell contemplate an enlarge
ment of their facilities, in view of the in
creased demand for transportation. Em
igrants are chareed not to start without
four to six months' supplies, as snow sets
in on tho mountains in October, and ad
equate provision should be made by all
persons leaving this season for wintering
in the mining region, thus to prevent a
recurrence of the pufferings and privation
of the previous hegira.

A New Skunk -Rare Chance for New
Eurs.
A lettter from Kansas gives an account
ot a new skunk that nas been uiscoveru
io that region. It is called the "four
striped skunk." From the description, it
must afford a raro chance for seekers af
ter novelties in furs:
"Its general color is pure black; a spot
of white on either side ot tho neao dc
tween the eye and ear, another between
the eves, making three on the head.
Four parallel lines of white about one
fourth of au inch in breaiJtn and tureo
fourths of an inch apart, have their ori
gin about tbe posterior part of the head,
the two upper originally on cither side of
the occiput while the two lower nave

lower part of each ear, all of which are
carried directly backward to tbe poste
rior ribs, where the lower lines terminate
and the upper curving downward and
forward then ratber ascend to the hiud
part of the shoulder, where they descend
one inch to the elbow joint. A transverse
band of white crosses the tore pari oi m
hins. with an interruption of one inch a
tho side of the back: a spot of white on the
upper part of each thigh; one ou either

LATER from EUROPE.
The-Eattle of Magenta
Tho long expected great battle has at
last been fought. Tho scene was on the
left shore of the Ticino, on tho road from
N.ovara to Milan. The granite bridgo at
Buffalora having been destroyed at the
commencement of the war; the French
threw across bridges at Turbigo, and
passed the river on tho morning of
Saturday, the 4th inst. According to
Napoleon's telegram to Paris, dated at
half-past 11 in tho evening" of that day,
they were attacked by an Austrian force,
over which they gained a great victory,
killiug or wounding 15,000, and taking
5,000 prisoners. In a dispatch from the
name source, dated on the 5th, the Aus
trian loss in killed, and wounded, and
prisoners, is again estimated at 20,000,
while the French lor-s i put down at 2,000.
The brunt of the battlo was borne for two
hours by the Imperial Guard, who fought
in a narrow roadway, while McMahon
got possession of tbo little town of Ma
genta, which is the first post htation be
tween tho river and Milan, from which
city it is twelve miles distant. For the
exploit we hear from Paris that MoMa
hon was made Duke of Magento and Mar
shal of France on the battle field. Ac
cording to another dispatch of Napoleon's,
dated on Sunday cveuing, the French losa
h 3,000 and tho Austiians 27,000; the
French havo taken 3 pieces of canon and
two flags, and havo lost one piece of canon
The last Napoleonic dispatch is dated
Monday morning, tbe Gth inst., at 8 o'
clock. This states that Milan is in a
.state of insurrection, that the Autriaus
have evacuated the city iu haste, leaving
their artillery and treasure behind them.
I be hrench we arc again told, are en
cumbered with prioners, and have taken
12.000 Austrian Muskets. This is the
latest telegram from Napoleon; but a dis
patch of Monday night from Paris to the
London Morning Post savs that the
municipality of Milan have proclaim
ed Victor Emanuel, and have presented
an address to him in the presence of the
Emperor; and that the King was to make
his public entry into that city ou lues
day the 7th inst. The Paris journals va
riously estimate tbe contending forces at
from 100,000 to 130,000 French against
13v),000 to 180,000 Austrians; but on tht
Freuch side, we bate uo indications as to
what corps or what divisiouns were en
gaged, so that we cannot form a precise
opinion on that subject, bo far the rench
accounts; now for the Austrian.
Iu the first place it is to be remarked
that these totally contradict the Frencli
bulletins. They also come down to a la
ter date, namely Monday night, while tho
French dispatches only extend to Mon
day morning. The Austrians are, furth
ermore, more precise in stating what corps
d' armce they had engaged, namely, at
Turbigo and Buffalora on Saturday, the
third under Prince Edward Liechtenstein.
Of courso there are verbal aud perhap?
other mistakes in these di.-batohes; for in
stance, the third corps h here set down as
commanded by Prince Edward Leichten
stein, though it is really commanded by
Prince Edmuud Sehwarzenberg, while
Leichtenstein commands the second.
Only these two corps are mentioned as
haviug been engaged ou Saturday, in ali
not over 35,000 men each, supposing their
ranks to have been full, which they prob
ably were not. Tho struggle began at
Buffalora iu tbe morning between the
Freueh and two brigades of tbe first corps,
which were subsequently reinforced; and
in the afternoon the third corps came up
and took part. It was left undecided ou
Saturday night, and was hotly continued
at Magenta on Sunday, the 5th (the da)
when Louis Napoleon says his army wa
resting). On Sunday two more Austrian
army-corps took part, making in all 130,
000 to 140,000 Austrians engaged; and
on this day wo arc told that tho Alliee
made no progress, and that in the after
uoon the Austrian army took up a flank
position between Abbiato Grasj-o, where
they had crossed the Ticino, and Binasco,
a town of some 5,000 inhabitants, about
12 miles from Milan on the road to Pa
via. Of a coutiuuaucc of tho fight on
Monday no mention is made on either
side; though it will be noticed that the
French dispatcues say nothing of au Aus
trian retreat beyond the Miucio. The
Austrians say that tho loss on both sides
was very heavy, aud that the' have ta
ken many prisoners. As for Milan, they
sayitis perfectly tranquil, hut an Austrian
dispatoh from Tieuna which says that tho
city is quiet, also states that the author
ities and the weak military force, except
tho Garrison in tho castle, havo with
drawn, at the order of the Commander-iu
Chief, who by this seems at least to anti
cipate the revolt which the French de
claro has already taken placo. Tbe Aus
trians say nothing about tho presence of
Francis Joseph at this battle; from the
French accounts wo learn that Napoleon
was present, but did not take the actual
command.
We havo thus given tho substance of
these conflicting accounts. Wo shall not
undertake to reconcile them, or to decide
which is true. That will be decided for
us to-morrow probably at farthest, by the
arrival of tho Persia with news to the
11th inst. Meanwhile, it must bo regar
ded as a very suspicious circumstance
that the French should pause to refresh
and reorganize a victorious army instead
of at once marohing upou Milsn and con
firming their victory by taking possess
ion of the Lombard capital. It is also
remarkable that from Monday mornioj;
at 8 o'olook till Wednesday noon, when
the steamer sailed, no further dispatches
from tho French oamp had been received.

A Lawyer in Davton. Ohio, has rooent.
ly gained a case in wbioh his fees amount
to 110,000.
We learn from a source entitled to tnef
fullest credence, says The Chicago Ti-
bune, that tbe late election for delegates
si i r i r
to the .Kansas constitutional convention
was conducted on a plan hardly inferior
in point of open-daylight swindling to the
oandtc-box, affair of October, 1857, tho
returns of which aro still playing hide-and-seek
in the breeches pocket of John
Calhoun. Sara Medary, Uovernor or
Kansas, i employed by tbe Democratic
party "to carry Territories." Long ex
perienced and famous in tho art of colo
nizing the State of Ohio, whenever tho
exigencies of his party required a major-
ity in tne legislature, nis quanucauons
for the office of Gotcrnor of Minnesota
in 1857, where two United States Sena
tors were pending on the result of tho
first Stato election, were undisputed. Ho
went to that Territory, and by dint of fill
ing up doubtful counties with wild Irish,-
putting the Winnebagocs ana nan tno
savage tribes of tbe back woods through"
tho voting process, perpetrating tho Pem-
bina fraud, ccc, bo succeeded in sending
Rice and Shields to the Senate, and giv
in Sibley the Gubernatorial chair. Af
ter this display of sagacity in cbcntfng,
he was selected as the fittest successor of
Calhoun in Kansas, and dispatched to
that Territory with instructions to carry
the first elections prior to the formation
of a Stato Government at all hazards.
This be promised to do for a certain o
mount of money to be expended in the
transportation of voters. Tbe money was
raised aud paid iu Washington, and tho
Governor expended it faithfully and judi
ciously. Three days before the election,
six or Feven hundred Irishmen were put
through the swearing process in Leaven
worth and Douiphan Counties, and took
out applications for naturalization. Not
satisfied with this, requisitions were made
on Kansas City and St. Joseph, Mo., and
hundreds of voters were lauded on the
day of election at Leavenworth and oth
er points on the river, who marched
straight to the polls and deposited ballots
for the pro-Slavery delegates. Arrange
ments had been made in this way to se
cure a majority of tho Convention, but
the Republican vote upsot their calcula
tions. Atchinson County, which Medary
calculated upon without fail, elected the
eutire Republican ticket, and Johnson,
Lykins and Bourbon, which were sup
posed to he safe bejond question, gave
ouly a divided delegation. The Conven
tion is secured to the Republicans, as wo
learn, by at leas-t seven majority, and its
fir-t business will be to look iuto the e
Icctiou and qualifications of its own mem
bers. The Leavenworth Times of the 13th
sums up the Kansas election for Dele
gates to the Con-titutional Convention as
follows, giving the Democracy the benefit
