Tho crops in all parts of the State give
promise of a favorable yield.

From the New York H"
A RI MIA VIEW OF THE WAB-OMMOiW
OF COTTMAW.A Rl'ftMA AGENT.
On his arrival in London, Dr. Coltinan
wtole the following exceedingly interesting
letter, in reply to n communication from Mr.
George N. Sanders, our Consul to London :
'' Cot. GeoRO N. SASoeas
Sir I hava just arrived here on my way
from the seat of war in the Northeast, and
take it for granted that a true natrative would
interest you, being perfectly aware that you
appreciate at their proper value the details
vou have had through the London and Paris
journals. France and England have equipped
the finest fleet that ever itoateu, ami ib.ii u
to the Baltic to insliuct the Russians in geo-
graphy. They have been hunting up places
so far north that the sun never sets upon
them for more than two months at a time.
There are not more than five hundred persons
in St. Petersburg and Moscow together that
ever heard nt tsrainstaoi, uuearjorg, sec,
until they hud been bombarded by the allied
fleets. By the way, speaking of Ullcaborg,
the greatest vandalism of the present century
was there committed. The account in tho
Dublin Post, from the journal of an officer
on board of the Leopard, is as near the truth
as anything you have seen since the com
mencement of the war. as there has been a
systematic perversion and suppressio vcri in
everything that has been delivered to the
public since April last.
It is true, as the Leopard's officer tells yon,
that they sacked, pillaged and burnt the de
fenceless town of Ulleaburg ; but ho does not
tell you what was the fate of tho women in
that village, where he says: ''No resistance
was offered and we landed tho marines." 1
will tell you they wero all violated by the
crews 01 iweiny Doais, pretending to oe civil- j
i.ed and Christians. Ho tells you "we began (
the work of destruction on Thursday, and did )
not leave off until Friday morning at "ten j
o'clock." After appropriating to themselves j
the property of the citizens, and violating
the persons of their wives and duughters, he
continues: ' Il was near costing us our lives,
for we got hemmed in the river by ihe fire.
Twice we attempted to burst through it and
twice failed. At tho third time, the First
Lieutenant cried out 'Pull, pull for dear life
one more attempt.' For about one hun
dred yards I had lo close my eyes and put
my hands to my face; I was scorched and
roasted ; hair was singed ; we got out faint
ing and half-grilled ; we had a nariovv
escape, and lost one man ; this morning
some of his skull and spine were found burn
ed to a cinder; it was a dicadful night's
work as ever I was at and a terrible one.
Let the civilized world judgo of the result
of this drunken orgie. A town where theie
was neither 6oldier or gun, sacked, pillaged,
and devastated by fire, the work of the ma
rines of twenty of her Majesty's ships. Nol
content with destruction of property, the
virtue of women was assailed with equal
ferocity and baseness. The writer speaks
truly when he says, "We destroyed every
thing virtue, goods and chattels. The un
fortunate inhabitants were like madmen; il
was a sad sight lo see the creatures; many
a ma arose yesterday in good circumstances,
and that night was a ruined man." Thus
you see Merry Old England, wilh all her
j vain glory and boasting, reduced in action lo
a level with tho pagan Turk, whose cause
ene e(lr!ouses.

to mention that Maj. Gen. Win. II. Kase,
was re-elected to that office, at the late

CvFire! Quite a number of people
were suddenly gathered around the premi-
! ses of Mis. Thompson's Hotel on Wedties
day forenoon, in consequence of an alarm
ol fire. Someone had carelessly thrown a
basket ol coal ashes against the fence near
the 6tabling, which had set the fence on
fire. Had the fire not been discovered it
would soon have reached the stable. Such
carelessness should be avoided.
HT"" Killed. A person by the name of
William Camp, acting foreman of the car.
penters at the Creen Ridge Colliery break
er, was killed, almost instantly, on Tuesday,
by the fly wheel of the upper rolls falling
upon him. and crushing his head upon one
of the rolls. He lived but about fifteen
minutes after the accident occurred.
01" Emigrants. Six or seven families
of Polish emigrants arrived at this place in
pursuit of work some days since. They
landed in Canada, whence they were bound,
but the cholera having carried of several
of their number, they left for more favored
climes. The men could have obtained
work in town, bu! as they wished to get
work that all could be employed, they
made engagements wilh some of the opera
tors in Shamokin, to work at the mines,
for which place they took Ihe cars on
Thursday.
C7" The coal operators and landholder,
in Schuylkill county held a meeting and
unanimously addressed a letter to Mr.
Tucker, President of the Heading Railroad,
requesting liim not to reign. Mr. Tucker

private character is unimpeathed. Hi,
retaliation would be regretted by all who
know him.

TUB TICKET
Our readers will find in our columns,
this week the ticket agreed upon at the
Democratic Convention held at this place
on Monday last. For Congress Major
Dewart had Ihe field to himself or at most
but a few voles in opposition. This was
also Ihe case wilh Jesse C. Horton the can
didate for the Senate. The result for Con
press will now depend upon Schuylkill.
Who will be the choice of that county we
are unable to say. Dauphin county, which
forms part ol this Senatorial district, will,
no doubt, concede the member to this
county, and Mr. Horton will unquestion
ably be the candidate.
James Beard our present popular Pro
thonatary has been nominated tor re-election
by a lare majority, notwithstanding a
severe opposition.
Henry Reader has received the nomina
tion for Sheriff". He is well known to the
people of this county as one of our former
Sheriffs, and a most popular officer. He
will be generally well supported, and, no
doubt elected.
For County Commissioner, the selection
has fallen on Elias Drosious. Mr. Rro
sious is an industrious and honest mechanic,
who will no doubt make an excellent offi
cer. For Auditor, John Younsman, Esq.,
has been selected. As Mr. Youngman is
a brother editor he needs from the press no
other endorsement. Editors are generally
qualified, or should be, for any office.
We have said nothing about the nominee
for Assembly, and lest our readers might
think we have forgotten him, we have only
lo say that Mr. Montgomery 'A'as never
suspected of having any superior qualifica-1
lions for the office he so eagprly aspires lo.

TJ Presentation or a Cane to Col. i
StrAub.- Some of the personal friends oi
Col. Straub, at Washington city, some days
since presented him wilh a hickory cane,
mounted wilh California gold. The cane
was cut in Nebraska, and was presented
through Col. Carter, of Lycoming. The
following is the reply of Col. Straub :
Col Carter Sir: I acknowledge with
deep sensibility the substantial mark of re
spect presented by my Pennsj Ivnnian friends
through you, their representative. Il is an
evidence of iheir kindness and generosity to
an humble individual, who thinks ho does
not merit it ; Rnd, permit mu to add, thnt it
is as unexpected as it" is undeseived. Your
refeiencn to my attachment to Ihe great
principle of selftiovernmenl, and which is the
vital piincipel of ihe Nebraska bill, is correct.
Should ever ibis principle fail lo be recoeni
zed by Ihe people of these Slates (which God
foibid .') there will be nn end to the Union.
In regard lo the nbnse of Ihe abolition press,
refeired lo by j on, Colonel, it has not di-tur-bed
Ihe equanimity of my temper in Ihe
sliuhlest decree ; nor can ihe open or anony
mous iiltaeks, wilh which I have been hon
ored, force me lo yield lhal notice whieh
Iheir authors seem so ardently to desire.
Time and the good sense of a free people
will consign "to Ihe lomb of the Capolels"
the men who would "burn down the Capitol,"
and set Iheirnwn blasphemous interrelations
of a "hiuhar law" above ihe laws of the
land, t accept the cane, and will ever look
upon il ns a most valued sift as .1 memento
of friends whnsu names will bo cherished
names as long as memory lasts. In conclu
sion permit me lo say. Ilia! lo support nil the
Slates in their just and equal riatits is to sup
port Ihe Cuiistiiulion ; bnl, to refuse lo do so,
is a filiation ol that saeied instrument "
At the conclusion of the piepentation, the
nnmpaliy repaired to a bountifully supplied
table, on which fisnred, with patriotic) con
spirnoiisness, n Berks county ham, and some
of the lid live clement of the Monongahu'a
