ARRIVAL OF THE ,
ATLANTIC.
LATEa HIOM El ROTE.
The steamship Atlantic, of lliu Collins
line, nrrivail at New York at 3 o'clock n
Saturday evening,' from Liverpool, winch
port she left ott the afternoon of the 22 1
ult., making the passage in ten Jays live
hour nnil a quarter.
A electee' by the President fixe llio duty
on coal imported into Franca through the
frontier, between Biinemiseron and Ltinirny
at five fratxs Hie one hundred kiluytam
mes. The Ministers of France, Netherlands
and Turkey have returned lavorable answers
to the memorials of the International Cheap
Postage Association.
ENGLAND.
Public attention is still occupied with the
Duke of Wellington's death, and with the
honors to be paid to his memory. It is odi
cially announced that the obsequies shall be
at the cost of the nation, aud will probably
bo according to the programme of the funer
al of Nelson. It is expected the body will
bo buried in St. Paul's Cathedral ; nothing,
however, is yet decided. Lord Derby has
returned to London to make arrangement.
Secrctary-at-war Beresford is performing the
functions ol Commander-in-Chiefiiintil a suc
cessor bu appointed. Lord Derby will, it is
thought, be elected without opposition as
Chancellor of tho Oxford University, in room
of the late Duke.
During the night of Friday, the 17th, the
ship Rhurtpore, which sailed from Liverpool
the previous day for New Orleans, wont
ashore on Long Bank, near Wexford, Ire
land, and has since gone to pieces. Shu had
on board at the time of the accident a crew
of thirty-five men, and four hundred and
eighty-live Irish emigrants, all of whom, ex
cept five drowned, were landed at Wexford.
I'ilkington & Wilson, owners of the Bhurt
pori, have despatched a steamer to bring the
passengers to Liverpool, and will forward
Uiem to their destination.
FRANCE.
The Parish Journals continno to be filled
with tulegraphio despatches received from
the departments, respecting Louis Napoleon's
progress in the South. If we may credit
semi-official bulletins, his reception has been
very enthusiastic. The various towns through
which he passed were decorated with impe
rial emblems, and the people received him
with cries of "Vivo P Empcreur !" '-Vive
Napoleon II. !" "Vivo la Sauveur do la
France J" &c.
Great excitement hag existed at Dieppo
for the last few days, owing to the system
atic refusal of the girls of that town to dance
with soldiers. Tho affair was thought so
serious that Gen. Gudin came to Dieppe to
institute an inquiry. In the meantimo it has
been intimated to the municipality that if
these scenes recur, tho government will
bring tho mailer to a short end by withdraw
ing tho garrison, whieh would, be a severe
injury to the trade of the town.
INDIA.
The chief event of importance that had
occurred at tho scat of war in Burmah, since
tho departure of the previous mail, was the
capture of Iho town of Prome, by a fleet of
light steamers under the command of Capt.
Tarllon. The river lrrawaddy, below Prome,
divides into two branches the left channel
being defended by two strong forfs, and the
light unnavigable except during the rainy
season. Capt. Tarlton having been warned
by some friendly natives that the left chan
nel was defended, and being also favored by
the flood, ascended the right branch of the
river, and entering tho town without resist
ance, carried off twenty-eight guns. Having
no orders to advance, he returned to Rangoon
although there was reason lo believe that
the fleet could have made its way to Ava.
the capital. Under these circumstances, Iho
Fabian policy of the General in cornmund
had given rise to considerable discontent.
A postscript to the above intelligence
slates that an immediate advance on and oc
cupation of Promo is expected, and rein
forcements will at once bo sent from Mad
ran and Bengal.

DEMOCRATS TURK OIT t
On Tuesday nejft, go to the poll and
ote the whole ticket. This is an import
ant election. A Congressman. Judne of
Iho Supreme Court, and Canal Commis
sioner must be chosen. The whigs through
out the State are active and using every
eflort to elect their candidates. It is the
duty of every man to vote. ' No matter
how much work he has to do, no matter
how busy he may be, if he is able to walk,
it is a high duty he owes to his country to
go to the polls and vote. No man who
has any love for his country and her insti
tutions will neglect this duly. ... The man
man who does neglect it is not worthy of
the proud name of a freeman, he does not
deserve lo enjoy the blessings of a republl
can government.
The whigs confidently assert that they
will carry the Slate. They cannot do it if
the democrats turn out. This Stale is and
ever has been democratic, and the few
times it has fallen under whig misrule the
democrats have failed to do their duly.
On the result of the general election de
pends the Presidential election. Let eve
ry democrat vote, and the Slate is sale for
us by lU.UOU majority! Then come out
democrals, every man of you, meet the
whig boasters and vanquish them as you
have so olten done. The eyes of your sis
ter States are upon you. Present again
your unbroken front to to the assault and
march on to glory and victory.
William Hopkins, the candidate for Ca
nal Commissioner, is a sterling democrat
who, during the Buckshot war, stood firm
against the schemes of Ritner, Stevens and
Bnrrowes, and retained his seat in the
speaker's chair in spite of the armed men
brought up by the whirs lo oust him. The
honest democrat was not to be intimidate
by partizan threats or traitors' arms. He
sustained your rights against the buckshot
and bayonets of Ritner's army ; you will
now stand by and sustain him.
Hon. Geoikie W. Woodward, for Su
preme Judge is a man against whom the
foulest whig slanderer dare not breathe a
word. He is a profound judge, a pure and
religious man and an unwavering democrat.
Gov. Bigler appointed him to the Supreme
Bench to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the death of Judge Coulter. That Gover
nor's endorsement is sufficient to give him
the confidence and support of the people,
were he unknown before.
Of Christian M. Strai ij, our nominee
for Congress we need say little. He is a
native of this County and although but a
short time a resident of Schuylkill county,
he has gained the confidence and respect
of the whole community. The fact that
he has filled three of the most important
offices in that county and received a unani
mous nomination are the strongest proofs
of his worth. He is the poor man's friend
and will always be found in the right place.
The ticket for County officers is a good
one. Follmer, Fursel, Nicely, Withing
ton and Kelly are all men in every respect
worthy ol your support. Vote the whole
ticket. Every scratch upon the ticket is a
whig gain. Volunteer candidates are less
worthy of the vote of democrats than are
the whigs. Every volunteer elected will
be claimed as a whist triumph. Do not
permit yourselves to be deceived, but vote
the whole ticket.
OIF Democrats ! beware of lying hand
bills abusing and slandering our candidates.
A number will be circulated a day or two
previous to the election.
COL. STRAIU.
The assertion of the "Miltonian" that
Col. Straub is not In favor of a protective
tariff, has no foundation in fact. He has
lwayi been a firm and devoted friend and
advocate of the protective policy. The
coal and iron inlerest are safe in his hands-

The Glee Club also entertained nnd de

A DEMOCRATIC SONG.

Of friends lo suppoit you when dauber is

To strike for our loved Constitution and

For tub American.
Mr. Editor : I observed a communica
tion in your "Deutscher Amerikaner," over
the signature of "Kin Deutscher" selling forth
the claims of David Martz, Esq., lo tho oifiee
of Register anil Recorder. 1 also obseived
a communication in tho lasl Sunbury Ameri
can, in which n "Democrnt" lakes "Ein
Deutscher" to task for misrepresentation
falsehood &c. Now as regards both of these
communications, I have only lo say that they
were written by persons, who arc either ig
norant of all that transpired in that conven
tion, or strangely prejudiced in favour of their
favorito candidate. It is a well known fact
that both Martz and Pursel, got every dele
gate that belonged lo them, nnd more loo.
Did Dennis Buoy get all that belonged to him,
even on tho first ballot, when those that
were taken from him by fair means, or with
his consent, no, far from it. The independ
ent voters of Northumberland county will
tell on next Tuesday at tho ballot box who
was chiseled at the convention. They talk
of poverty, large families, aged parent., &e ,

comparo them with those of his competitors)
he is n poor man who lias not even a house
of his own to live in, with a family of help

with, but tho labor of his own hands, neither
is it his own fault that ho is so poor, ho has
had very bad health for scvenil yeats and is
not at present able lo bear much labor. As
to his qualifications he is infeiior to no man
in the field having a business experience of
many years. His popularity at home, ought

A man, supposed to have been intoxi
cated, mounted the roof of the W est iiranch
bridge, at Northumberland, one evening
last week, and amused himself for some
time by trying how near to the edge lie
could slide without falling over. After a
number of successful essays, he slid entirely
over the eves, fell into the river and was
drowned. His body was recovered in a
few minutes, but life was extinct.
A boy named McAllister, of Danville,
fell from a freight boat passing down the
canal opposite this place, on Saturday eveiv

diligent search was made, his body was
not recovered until Sunday evening. The
water in the canal at that place is about
ten feet in depth. His remains were ta
ken charge of by his Iriends.
I VIMINI; YOI R TICKETS.
The system ol voting lor all the officers
on a single slip of paper opens the door to
the. practise ol lrands upon unsuspecting
voters. A number ol tickets are in circa
lation in winch the names of whi"8 and
volunteers are inserted in the place of the
regular nominees. Jt will be necessary for
each voter to read the whole of his ticket
carefully, and be sure that there are no
names upon it but those of the regular
ticket. Compare your tickets with the
list of democratic county nominations at
the head of this column.

CP Ail attempt was made by an old
man named Geer, at Ihe Court Room in
Philadelphia, on Monday morning, to as
sassinale Col. Fairlamb. Geer sprang upon
Col. Fairlamb while conversing with a cli
ent at the door, with a rix barrelled pistol,
and placing it close to his face, fired. Th
ball took off a piece of Fair lamb's ear. The
Colonel relreated inside the room, while
the old man discharged two other barrels
at him, which fortunately did no injury,
although a large crowd were standing
around. Geer was taken in charge by the
police and committed to prison. The cause
of the assault originated in an old law suit.
The man is said to be insane.

This popular novel is severely criticised
bv the southern papers. The New Or
leans Picayune is down upon the authoress.
Mrs. Harriet Ceecher Stowe. 100,000
copies have already been printed. The
following extract from the Picayune shews
the feeling of the south on the subject.
But her own task has been not a particle
more honorable, nay, her woik ought to be
ranked below those in its moral purpose, and
herself rebuked with sterner sevurily; be
cause she has degr.idcd lo her unseemly and
mischievous labors powers which nuht
have been uselullv an I trace fully devoted
to delieale nnd womanly compositions. The
secret of this vuluulaiy debasement is, we
fear, to be found in a ciiculation of profit,
most sordidly masculine, in llic uiitexin" of
her thought for ihe sake of Km. The dol
lars with which she has been enabled lo
make heisetf rich, lo buy I hut snug country
place, mid seat herself down for a life of lux
urious leisure, had mom attractions for her
man Ihe love of truth, or the natural feml
rune instincts for peace. Hence she dipped
her pen in the bitterest call of malevolence,
and has written one of the abominable libels
which the ase has Droduced. full of all man
ner of calumnies and uncharilablcness ; and
provocative of mischief beyond her power lo

VTOl'RNA.ME.NT was held lately at one of

him if he would an with him across ihn river i that the successful Knight was n yeutitf I'liihulVI-
re-M.
of New York, n copy of a pamphlet, in
which ho treats of the Cholera, its causes,
and method of cure. Aeeoidiu to Dr. C.i
cholera is caused by inhaling a small greed'
insect, discei liable only with I lie microscope,
and existing only where eholeiu c.iMs. He
found the insect by baling bis arm: and
ivluio cholera eits, millions of this minute
insect will be f mud upon the aim by using a
microscope. These insect he thinks, are
produced by malarious exhalations, ami car
ried from place to place by the wind. They
produce infiammutiou in the stomach, by
fixing upon tho mucous membrane, and the
iullamation is transrnilled lo tho liver
through tho duct leading lioni Iho stomach
lo the gall bladder ; and by general irii;;.iion
of the nerves, produce the syminrns of chol
era. This is Iho theory : his cure be keens
to himself, till the governments of vaiious
countries, compensate hint for his discovery.
He is s.nd In havo been very successful in
tho cure of cholera, and so have others, by
the means which he condeiriiis ns mal-pi no
tice, which he says has killed more than
chuleia. Letlgo ,

mado an excavation o! ten or twelve feet,
the earth gave way, and all were plunged
into a large room, apparently .dug out. At
the further extremity of the noun, a human
