marched 126 miles, and fought four actions
witb'NegA Sahib's army, against overwhelm

into Cawnpore.

presented itself to them beggars description.
A wholesale massacre had been perpetrated
by the Gend Nena Sahib. Eight officers and

THE BANK EXCITEMENT.' '
At a very early hour on Saturday the ex
citement in regard to monetary affairs and
tbe course of the banks was renewed. It first
manifested itself in the market-bouses, and
arose from tbe fact that tbe farmers, who had
come to the city to sell their produce, refused
to take the notes of any of tbe banks, without

the day. A man who will run the risk of
a fine of $50 and imprisonment in the Peni

have the organ ofacquisitiveness very strongly
developed.
O Northern Cbntrii. Railroad. The

CHARLES n. Bt'CKALEW. .
On Saturday last the Senatorial Conferees,
after numerous ballotiogs, nominated the Hon.
Charles It. Buckalew for Senator for this dis

We need hardly ray that the nomination
gives entire satisfaction and that the confer,
ees could have made no nomination that would
have been more warmly received in this
county and the district.
M r. Buckalew has been in tbe State Senate
six years and for the last three years has
been considered the leading mao in that
body. His abilities are of tbe highest order
whilst bis modest and unpretending deport
ment is only equalled by his merits. In the
Borough of Suubury, we predict, he will
receive the largest vote ever polled for that
office.
THE SUSPENSION OF THE BARKS.
The pressure and derangement in tht
monetary affairs of tbe cities, resulted iu
the suspension of specie payments by the
Philadelphia Banks, on Saturday last.
The stoppage of the Pennsylvania Bank was,
perhaps, tbe principal cause in Philadelphia.
The country Banks must necessarily follow,
as it would be impossible for them to sustain
themselves while tbe city Banks' are in a
state of saspensipn. There are no better
or safer banks than those in our neighborhood
and none will more regret the measures which
has been thus forced upon them.
The Governor has issued his proclamation
for an extra Session of the legislature to
meet on Tuesday next. Consequently the
old members will meet, but the Session must
expire on the day of tbe election, tbe 13th
instant.
An advertiser in the Philadelphia Xorth Ame

A PROCLAMATION 1
Whereat, A serious financial revulsion bat
occurred, resulting in the suspension of specie)
payments by tbe Banks of this and other
States of the Union, and the failure of many
long established commercial houses, leading
to the destruction of confidence, and to the'
general embarrassment and depression of
trade, and threatening to affect disastrously
the cred.t of the Commonwealth, -and tbe
great industrial interests of the people I
And tehereat, An occasion so extraordinary
requires prompt and efficient action to relieve
an alarmed ami sulTerine: community :
Therefore, I, James Pollock, Governor of
tbe Common wealth of l'ennsyivania, by virtue
of the powers conferred on me by the consti
tution, do hereby convene tbe General As
sembly of this Commonwealth,' and require
the members or toe senate and House oi
Representatives to meet in their respective

at 12 o'clock at uoon of that day, then and
tbero to take into consideration, and adopt
such measures of relief in tbe premises as the
present exigency may seem to tuem in tueir
wisdom to uemaud.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set

THE MONEY MARKET.
Governor Pollock came into the city on
Saturday afternoon, in compliance, as is un
derstood, with a request of some of our prin
cipal business men, witn tne view or consults
tion as to means of relief from the on
fortunate and very inconvenient condition of
things resulting from tbe recent suspension
by the banks. A committee of gentlemen
waited upon mm ic the evening, and reqoes
ted a call of ao extra session of the Legislature
He expressed sympathy for the public in the
present condition of ailuirs, and is willing to
do what be can in the premises. An extra
session will probably be called, and some pro
position submitted that will relieve innocent
parties from a very distressing position,

we have been informed by a person directly
from Governor Pollock, that that functiona
ry has determined to issuo his proclamation

THE PRODUCTION OP WINES DURING THE
PAST CENTURY,
We condense from an interesting article
which we find in a lata number or tbe Courier
desttttats Unis the following -t titics reltiv
to tbe production of wines from 1762 to 1857
luruisbed to that journal hy an amateur vine
grower or tbe district or Beauiolais.
in 1 1 12, Intense heat, very little rain, tbe
crop excellent and quality of wines superior,
In certain localities or i ranee wines which
when first brought in market sold for 30
livres (about 18 cents each) per measure.
were worth 150 livres tbe following year. In
l"6I-64-'65-'C6 tbe quality was very ordinary;
in lG7-'68 very good, but not equal to that
of 1762 ; in 1769 very bad t 1770 fair; 1771
good; 1772-'73-'74 bod, in 1775 excellent ;
1 tie and 17 ii tolerable: 1778 good, and 1779
detestable ; in 1780 and '81 fair ; 1782 good
l.BJ and '84 fair; lias was a year so abun
dant that in Beanjolais wines fell to 20 livres
for tbe brst quality, from this period we
must pass on to 1791 to find a good wine, or
rather a wine of excelleut quality. After this
a new phase of mediocrity until we come
down to 1795, which was a year remarkable
lor us auauty.
No chante worthy of note until we reach
1802. All tbe grapos were destroyed on tbe
17th, 18th and 19th or M ay. Prices were
enormously high, but disastrous to the mono
plists. Soou the warm weather set in , the
neat became as intense as in 1762. and con
tinuuo so long, j ne vines produced a sec
ond crop'or grapes, which yielded vines railed
contcriptt, or a very fairquality. 1803 was a
year of great abundance but indifferent anal.
ity 1804 was an extraordinary year both as to
quality and quantity. During this year the
new casks were worth 24 or 25 francs each,
and in those district where the production
was not greater than usual, the wines were
not worth more than tbe cost efthe casks.
Tbe result was, that the vi liters who had pur
chased their casks on credit, and could not
sell their wines, offered to return them to the
coopers full of wine, to be releasod from their
obligations, but were refuted, as tbe latter
also bad enticements to meet,
The year 1803 gave the highest hopes of
excellent yield but In the early part of Octo
ber, a week before the vintage commenced it
snowed aud hailed. Tbe crop was made, but
the wine decomposed in tbe cask and in tbe
winter that which was not spoiled turued to
a yellowish white. Iu 1806 aud 1807 the
quality was superior aud kept fur a long time
1808, great abundance; lk09 1810 poor years
1811, tbe year of tbe comet. Tbe wiues or
this year have been greatly extolled but they
did not coma op to those or 1761. At first
they sold at prices sufficiently low. because
bad no markets; but in 1813 they attained to
inouious prices anu tne short crops ofsucceed
ing years only tended to augment their Drire
J'he first remarkable year after 1811 was
1822. There was no winter. The vine bud
ded in March, blossomed in May, aud iu
August new wiue was draok. The wiue was
very good but tender ; it possessed ne endur
ance. From 1822 to 1842 there was a good
series of years the most notable of which were
1832 1833, and 1842. 1843 was ofno accoaot
tbe following years alternated but from 1849
to 1836, inclusive, tbe crops were failures from
causes already known.
Tbe Courier's correspondent thinks that
every quarter of a ceutury, failures and. com
pensation being properly set W against each
other, the sums of good and bad crops would
be about equally balanced. There U no nida
tion but we have paid since 1649 tbe full in
terest oi in good years wbiab eiapsed between
1822 and 1842. We must only bono that
we are now euteriog upon a better epoch

embarrassment is a chronic one. The excess
of importations over exports about which
so much is said has not yet gone far enough
to impoverish the nation hopelessly, i ne

It is true, we have run into debt deeper
than common: that the New banks, taking
fright, have contracted suddenly ; and that
tbe banks elsewhere, following tbe great law
or self-preservation, have imitated tbis con
traction. But. after all. we are far from ne
ing ruined. Tbe West owes tbe East ; tbe
Kust owes Kurope ; and if the first pays off

That crop is wanted by consumers, both in

pay to ship it to Liverpool. It t. tuerelore,
in this crisis, as good as gold. A million of

Mr. Editor: It is with regret I infoim
you or the sad accident which occurred in tbis
vicinity on Saturday last, tleorge Sharren,
son or William Scott, or Delaware township,
while out on a gunning expedition, met some
or his acquaintances, when he stopped, sitting
tbe but or bis gun on the ground and resting
his body upon the muzzle., when it went ofT,
the contents or which entered his body, killing
bim instnntly. He was almost sixteen years
or age. Another warning for the young, who
are so much in the habit of using such tools
carelessly and without due caution. Verily,
"tbere ia but one step between me and death,"

To the Democracy of Northumber
land County.
On the second Tuesday of October the
freemen of Pennsylvania assemble at the
ballot box to choose their State and county
officers, and how necessary it is that good,
honest and upright men should be selected.
Strong party feeliug blended with prejudice
should not make us blind to the dictates or
reason, but with a watchful eye resting upon
our Government, and our voice ever raised
in behalf or our institutions, let us assemble
at tke polls and by our votes and actions
endeavor to perpetuate tbe liberty our fore
fathers bequeathed to us. Our entire titate
ticket beaded by Gen. WM. F. PACKEKis
one worthy of our united support, composed of
intelligent, energetic, and experienced men,
who will prove an ornament to the Keystone
State. Our candidates for Senator and As
sembly are honorable men, respected and es
teemed at home and abroad, eminently worthy
of the position to which they aspire. Would
that tbe same could be truly said of our can
didate for Sheriff, Henry J. Header, but bis
past political course exhibits his inconsisten
cy, and serves -as an indx to bis future
career. The manner in which be was nomi
oated I need not mjyition, nor shall 1 poiut
out the fraudulent votes he received in cer
tain townships, it is sufficient to know that
be is not tbe choice of tbe Democratic party,
and therefore canuot receive the Domocralic
vote. Wa have good and true Democrats in
our county who were aspiring for this Office,
but by a little trick among the "noble few"
their claims were disregarded, and the well
laid scheme to trick and deceive proved tri
umphant. Hut now tb very men who were
basely deceived, and used as tools by a de
signing few are called upon to come and lend
their aid to elevate to office one who is not
the free choice of tbe Democracy or onr
county, and a few fickle promises of future
promotion beld out as an inducement, but
experience teaches us that be wbe is once
caught in a trap, will be wider awake -io ifee
Mace.
lint although Mr. Tjeader has been declared
tbe Demociatic nominee, bis political record
condemn, him, for every one familiar with the
politics of our county know how often he has
opposed regular Democratic nominees. But
now when a great stagcalion to business has
taken place, and the times are hard and
pressing I money becoming tcarce day by
day, and Meculioiis one after another are
placed in the bands of the Sheriff, ws find
Mr. Reader '.working with as, seeking this
nomination, and urging his claims perhaps
Tor no other reason than tbe desire or procu
ring a few paltry dollars earned by tbe sweat
nf tbe laboring man's brow, whose property
is sold for debt. Bat in order that you
may se'e Mr. Header's inconsistency as a
Democrat, l Dots the names or a raw wnom
he violently opposed after they were fairly
nominated by tbe Democratic party i

For various reasons I have deemed it
proper to decline' being a candidate Tor County

we need not say that from his well known

no doubt as to bis making an excellent
Treasurer, and that there will be n.o difficulty
in the settlement or his accounts at the end
of his term. PETER 111 I.EM AN

1 observe in the papers the names of a

office of Protbonotary. 1 have nothing to
say against either, and some of them, 1 have
no doubt, would in time make good otliccrs
My purpose is to recommend James Heard,
the present incumbent, whom wo all know
has given universal satisf.iciion during the
past six years he has been in office. M r.
Heard has all tbe necessary experience,
speaks Euglislrand German, and is nlways

receive the support of many, without distinc

The composition of these Bitters includes

Dyspepsia Agues, aud General Debility re

These are rendered permanent and active
in this preparation n a consequence oj the

preparation used in larger or small doses,
would prove a valuable General Medicine
