f7" Our neighbor Case complains that
Mr. Greenough did not send him (he pro
ceedings of the Agricultural Fair, and
says he wont copy them out of the Sun
bury papers. If John wants news, he
should do as we do, send on his reporter.
In his paper of the week previous, John
also attempts to account for the defeat ol
Mr. McCormick, and like (lie blind pig in
search of acorns, actually stumbled on the
true reason, viz: Judge Dentler's popular
ity. The less said about dishonorable con
duct on this subject, John, the better.
fIT" The American Intelligencer, pub
lished at McEvvensville, has been removed
to Milton. The editor does not state- that
this change in location is to bring about, as
was the case with his former removal, a

moving, if not a pushing man. But he
should remember the old adage of "a roll

LAMENTATIONS OVER JIUGE CAMP
BELL'S DEFEAT.
The wailing and lamentations set up by
some of the Press over the defeat of Judge
Campbell, is most ludicrous and amusing.
Some of these mourners, in the plenitude of
their grief, go so far as to call him an "emi
nent citizen and an able Jurist." As we
have had something to do with the defeat
ol Judge Campbell it may be deemed pro
per that we should protest (not against this
attempted apotheosis of the Judge,) but the
false charges urged against those who op
posed him.
And first, wo may as well state that the
circulars published in the Bulletin oflice,
in Philadelphia, did not attack Judge
Campbell on account of his religious opin
ions, as has been asserted. We saw the
manuscript ol the circular before it was
printed, and have still in our possession a
number of printed copies. Nor was that
circular a secret one, but was liberally dis
tributed a week or ten days before the elec
tion. It asserted that Judge Campbell was
unfit (or the office and that his nomination
was procured by fraud. We now assert
that these allegations are true. We do not
desire to drag the character ol Judge Camp
bell again, belore the public, but would let
him repose in the charity of its silence,
and if his Jesuitical (riends (we use the
term politically) would consult his inter
ests they would adopt the latter course.
That his nomination was disgraceful lo
those who were concerned in bringing it
about, there can be no question. Judge
Campbell's own democratic neighbors and
fellow citizens, who constitute the greater
portion ol the 10,000 majority against him
in the city auJ county, fully bear us out in
all our allegations. And we will here
slate that nearly all the democrats of the
city and county who opposed him are
among the most intelligent and respectable
portion of the community. Men who are
not office hunters, political traders, &c,
but such as merchants, mechanics, farmers
and business men generally, such as ate
found in the stores and workshops ol the
city and suburbs.
We repeat that no lawyer ol char
acter at the Philadelphia Bar will assert
that Judge Campbell has the necessary
qualifications for the office. lie was put
forward by Mr. Buchanan, who made his
cause his own, and every effort was made
to elect him. We could now point to a
number of individuals who supported him
against the ir own convictions of right, on
these grounds. Let the friends ol Camp
bell and Buchanan bow with submission to
their defeat and not make themselves
ridiculous by attempting to thrust Judge
Campbell upon Mr. Bigler as Secretary
of State.
HIT" Appointment. We are glad lo
learn that Major J. H. Kelton, of Ihe Eagle
Hotel, Williatnsport, has been appointed
Superv isor of the West Branch Canal, in
place of Georja Crate, resigned.
SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAM0K1N JOURNAL
THE STATE ACiRltl LTt R AL FAIR AT
IIARRISBIRO.
Having attended last week the first State
Agricultural Fair that bat been held in
Pennsylvania, it affords ui much pleasure
in saying that it has fully met the expecta
tions of its most ardent friends as a begin
ning, affording a sufficient guarantee that
our future fairs may, in a few years, vie
with any in Ihe Union. The number ol
persWttr'rw- attendance was much larger
IharVmany had anticipated, numbering pro
bably on Thursday the 30th tilt., not less
than 20,00d. The horses, cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry, afforded some fine speci
mens ol improvement in our stock. The
lair was opened for the public on Wednes
day morning and continued until Friday
evening. On Wednesday none but those
who became members were admitted, tin
fee being one dollar, with the privilege of
eoine in as often as thev pleased. On
Thursday the admission fee was twenty
five cents. The amount of money received
on Thursday, for membership and admis
sion fees, was over $2,300.
The p'oup-hing match came off1 on Fri
day morning, and attracted a great crowd
into the adjoining field often acres. There
were a dozen or more competitors for the
best ploughing, and the soil of the ten acre
field was soon turned bottom upward. The
ploughing done by Messrs. Prouty and
Barret, with one of theircentre draught
plows, we thought was unrivalled. The
Michigan double plow was awarded a spe
cial premium. This plow has two shares
and niouldlioards. The first cuts and turns
over the sod and the other turns over on it,
the soil beneath.
An old German from Lancaster connly
appeared on the ground, with two cows at
tached to one old plow brought Irom Ger
many, 10") years old, using what appeared
to be a stout shingle for a mould board.
His cattle worked admirably amid the
shouts of the multitude that lollowed this
relic, of antiquity, which was happily in
troduced t) show the difference between
skinning and ploiizhinir.
The display of agricultural implements
was highly creditable. We cannot say as
much however for the agricultural products.
We produced better grain and vegetables,
at our own County Fair. In needle work,
embroidery, quilts, &c, there was a loler
able fair representation, but not as good as
there should have been.
There waj a long list of non enumerated
articles, some of them highly meritorious.
This list is always a large and important
one. The Committee on these articles
awarded but few premium.', believing that
diplomas forarticlesol merit, would be quite
as satisfactory. In this, we think, they
were greatly mistaken. Although diplo
mas may be equal to, if not better than an
ordinary premium, yet custom has assigned
to them a lower grade of merit.
Among the most agreeab.'e and pleasant
productions of the soil, was some Hfje do
mestic champagne wine, from the vine,
yard ol Mr. Longworth of Ohio, called
sparkling Catawba and sparkling Isabella.
We tested the qualities ol both, in the hos
pitable tent of Judge Watts, the President
of the Society, to whose aide and efficient
management much nf the success of the
Fair is justly due. The Society has been
fortunate in securing the services of Judge
Watts. His talents, industry, and decision
of character, united to a deportment, ur
bane and dignified, eminently qualifies him
for the station. On Friday about noon Un
report of the Committees, awarding premi
ums, was read by the President, after which
the officers and a large portion of the peo
ple proceeded to the Capitol, to hear the
address of the Hon. Andrew Stevenson,
of Virginia, who had been invited for the
occasion. It contains much useful infor
mation and occupied nearly two hours in
delivery. This County was not as well
represented as it should have been, yet we
have fared well in what was exhibited.
Among the premiums awarded, the follow
ing are from this County :
To David Taggart of Northumberland,
for best pair of fowls, &"2,00
Chit!agonrs, 2,00
To Miss Sarah A. Zeigler of Sunbury,
for best worsted embroidery, first
pp-miiim, 3,00
To II. B. Masser of Sunbury, for his
Ice Cream Freezer. 3,00
Mil. Bt.TIIANAN AND TIIH STATE
Fam-.. A number of newspapers notice
that Mr. Buchanan was attending the State
Fair at Harrisburg. Mr. Buchanan was
there one day, but did not feel disposed lo
encourage the project with his presence
during its continuance. We heard a dis
tinguished Virginian remark that it was
strange that Mr. Buchanan could not make
it convenient lo give more time and atten
tion to a measure so fraught with the jrreat
interests of Pennsylvania.
The last McCwensville Intelligencer
devotes nearly a column to Ihe abuse of
Gen. Cameron and ourselves, on the sub
ject of the Presidency. John had better
endeavor to refute our arguments, but we
presume that is no part of the contract with
his Buchanan employers. But fire away
John, as long as the ammunition lasts.
At ihe conclusion you ran tend up a
rocket that will astonish both your friends
and enemies.
C? Billy Miller, breathed his last in
the lock-up at the Mayor' office, Phila
delphia, on the 30th ult. Poor Billy was,
himslf, the only enemy he had.
FINE CATTLE.
We observed at the State Fair at Harris
burg, among other fine stock exhibited by
Mr. Aaron Clement of Philadelphia, a fine
Durham bull, 20 months old, called "Bran
dy wine," and a fine large Durham heifer
two years old, called 'Woodbine.'' These
cattle took a premium at the Fair, and
were afterwards purchased by Mr. Amos E.
Kapp ol Northumberland, lor two hundred
dollars. Mr. Kapp has a fine (arm near
Northumberland, and is determined to rear
upon it the finest rattle, Ihe benefits of
which will, no doubt, be felt by our whole
farming community, by the introduction of
good stuck.
PINE POt'LTIt V.
The exhibition of Poultry at the State
Fair at Harrisburg, was, probably, in some
respects finer than that at Rochester. Our
friend David Taggart, Esq., of Northum
berland, had undoubtedly the finest collec
tion of choice fowls on the ground. They
were not only remarkable for their size
and weight, but fur their fine condition and
healthy appearance, and attracted much at
tention during the whole Fair. Mr. Tag
gart received two premiums, one of them
being for the best pair ot fowls on the
ground, and the other for a pair of Chitta-
gongs. Air. Urua Cameron ol Atniiiietown,
received a number of premiums lor his fine
ducks, fowls, &.c. Northumberland county
came in for a good share of premiums.
KOSSlTlt.
That there has been some trouble in re
gard to Kossuth, on board the I.. S. Frig
ate Mississippi, there can be no doubt.
Some letters speak very harshly of Kos
suth's conduct, and censure hiir. for want
of proper respect towards the officers ol
the vessel and our government. The pre
sumption is that he wishes to remain in
England in order to revolutionize Europe.
XT" The money market continues to
improve. The great influx ol gold from
California must soon restore the money
market to its former equilibrium. The re
ceipts of gold dust at the mint from Cali
fornia, this year, will reach about forty
eisjht millions of dollars. Without this
great resource what a tremendous smash,
the excessive importations under the tariff'
of ISIS would have occasioned throughout t
the Union.
The Post Office Department has de
cided that subscribers living in the County
where a newspaper is published are enti
tled to receive it free of postiife, even.
though the post othce through which they
receive it may be out of the County.
Subscribers and Postmasters will please
notice.

The Cotton Planters' Convention nt Ma
con, fieo., is in session, consisting of be
tween two and three hundred delegates.
The busines of this Convention is to devise
means for pioviding against the depression
and llneliialions of ilia prices of cotton.
There was considerable conllict of opinion
concerning tho practicability of uccomplisl
ini! this result, and various plans for provid
ing a remedy were presented. The subject
was finally referred lo a commilte of twenty
one, who could not agree upon anything
definite. The proposition to organise an as
sociation, with a capital of 20,000,000, was
violently opposed. A pinposilioii was then
rejected, winch provided Hint planters
should make return to a Central Committee
to be established, of Ihe collon housed by
the middle of January ; and fun her, thai
not moro than Iwo-ihird of the crop should
be sold befoie tho 1st of May, and for not
less llian eight cents a pound ; and that I lie
remaining third should be sold nl a lime lo
be leconimended by Ihe Central Committee.
There was no harmony of views among
those; present, and tho Convention is regard

THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH CASE IM
PORTANT IIECISION.
The United Slates Circuit Court, composed
of Judges Gner and Kane, yesterday made a
decision in the case of French and others, of
the Morse line, "The Magnetic Telegraph
Company," and Rogers and others, of Ihe
Bain line or Telegraph from Washington In
New York, which settles a number of prin
ciples of great importance to those engaged
in the business of telegraphing by eleetto
magnetism, nod lo inventors generally.
The Court decided nil the questions in con
troversy in favor of the claimants under
Professor Morse's patents, and declares the
process and apparatus used on the Bain line
for telegraphing nnd recording signs nl a
distance, infi iligements of Morse's patents.
Tho points ruled by the Ccurt in this case
are
1. That an art is the subject of a patenl,
as well as an implement or a machine.
3. That an inventor may surrender and ob
tain a reissue of his patent more than once
if necessary. 3. That Professor Morse was
the li t st inventor of Ihe art of recording signs
at a distance by means of electm-inn-metism
or the magnetic telegraph. 4. That the
several pails or elements of Ihe Morse Tele
graph are covered and protected by his pa
tent, new inventions, nnd nn; really new
either as single, itulepcndaut inventions, or
as parts of a new combination for ihe pur
pose specified, ft. That the patent giarited
In Prof. Morse for his "Local Circuit" is
valid, and that the "Branch Circuit'' of the
in line is on infringem-tit of it. fi. Tli.it
