Cirhsponbmce. Ir'm Um Sunbury American. Bkunsohovk, Jane 23, 1859. Ma. Edito t Things nrt very dnll at present, In this section of countty. Tbe life and bustle, which prevailed a few weeks back, seems to bare fallen off, and matters luova along in peace und quietness. Thii fhange may be accounted for from ttia fuct that people are now more or lass absorbed in matters of individual interest, or doH.eetio concerns. Tbe farmer, whose viaiti to town is alwajs looked for witA tftiich satisfaction, and cnusfts the smile to play upon the coun tenance of the good old merchant, in antici pation of large sules, is busily engaged at home In cutting and making bay and arrang ing matters for reaping an extnusive hnrvest the men of town have also their domestic uffnirs, which keeps tbein tit borne. Their gardens are in beautiful trim aud in order to be kept so, moch labor in r quired. Those who nre hero nlleudin? school sceio ta be hardened with the weight or their many stu dies, bat, npparontly, have determined to take it as cool as the ctrenmstances if tbo case will admit, and labor mora incessantly as the eession draws to Its close. Tie students of tbo Classical Iepnrtnient of the Institute ore making preparations for their public ex. liibition, which i to take place cn Wednes day, the sixth of July. This ia intended to be an excellent afiuir, and will, no doubt, eqcii.1, if not surpass, the exhibitions of many older and well estab lished Institutions. TLeo's Weaver, lie worthy priucipal of this department, labors faithfully and zealonuly to advauce and en large tho sphere of knowledge of the students under his charge. Much credit is dne him for the great interest manifested for the pro per training of those attending Lis depart ment. The Female Seminary is progressing Cnely, tbo walls being already up as fnr the third story. I hope to ioforni yoa, ere long, of its completion. There is no donbt but that both buildings will be completed and ready for operation by the commencement of the next session. It is, indeed, remaikable with what rapidi ty the Missionary Institute and the Female Bemiuary have sprung into existence. Scarcely a year has elapsed since it was itrongly spoken of, and now, tven now, both are almost finished, and hundreds of scholars anxiously waiting to throng their balls. God has, indeed, propitiously looked upon this Institution and thus heard and answered the prayers of his poople. May bo continue to notice, with approbation, the labors of bis servants and iuapii-e them with renewed en erpy, so that they may not get wonry, bnt rejoice in tbos being able to assist in building np and advancing tho kingdom of Christ upon the enrtb.

Leavenworth, K. T, June 21. The over land express, eight dajs from Denver City, has arrived, briogiug a largo mail and $25(10 in gold dust. The previous extrnefdiniry reports of tbe discoveries at Gregory's Jackson's and other mining camps, are fully confirmed. Horace Greeley bad arrrived at the dig gings, being lc33 than seven days ou tbe route, lie had viaited Gregory's diggings and signed public communication endorsing tbo ac connts ol the Kichness 01 tne cintms.

Gregory's two claims were sold for $21, 000. The other details are of a similar charac ter. 1 be relumed emigrants are returning daily from Leavenworth, bound to go through oil hazards. The excitement ii becoming in tense. Mer. Jones Russell contemplate en larging their facilities in view of the iucrcaaed demand for transportation. Emigrants ar charged not to start without four or Eix months' supplies, as the snow? set in on the mountains, in October, and adequate provision should be made by persons leaving thia eesmn, for wiutering at the mining region. They will thus prevent a recurrence of the suf fering and privations of the previous begira.

On Wednesday rooming, the inhabitants of tbe towns of Boyleston and Rodfield, in this connty, were startled by the occurrence of a most remarkable phenome non tho dusceut from the heavens of an iai menee meteoric macs. Tbe bod (truck tbe earth between tbe boors of three and four o'clock, 1.

The body fell npon the farm of Horace Sanger, situated on the line of Boyleston aud Redfteld, stri king in a meadow and partially on the high way. It ia estimated by our informaut to cover about half an acre of land. The earth was torn up iu a terrible planner, and large fragments were thrown a distance of two thirds of a milo. The mass is very irregular in shape, and rises at some points to sixty end eighty feet in height, ami is supposed to be imbedded in the earth as many feet. The surface has generally the appearance of iron Ore. The excitaniuut occasiuued by the event among tbe inhabitants was intense, and the crash is said to have been terrifio beynnd des cription. Many supposed that tbe final winding op of terrestial affairs bad truly ar rived. Oswego Palladium. A Lotto Bridal Tour.

While at the United Stales Court, at Williamsport, a few days since, a promiuent politician from the northern part of the State, declared that our next Gover nor must be a Pennsylvania Dutchman. that they bad always been oor best and most reliable Governors, and henceforth be wonld prefer tnking a candidate from that clafB of our citizens.

GTEuitobs a Nx Railroads. We do not subscribe to the doctrines of tbe Montour Herald "lhai editors are entitled to a free pass over any railroad, because tbey can ad vance or blast the reputation of tbe road." Such doctrines are mre in character with the arguments of a highwaymen, than those of an independent editor. Railroad officers, who can distinguish a locomotive from a horse, will know enough to grant a pass to an editor, whose locality and position com pels him to notice their road. In regard to ourselves, we have to say we would accept no pass from any road, coupled with restraints of any kind. t" Pjkr's Peak.

These beautiful instro. mcnts are becoming exceedingly popular with all who can appreciate tbe beautie of nature and art. It enables one to sit quietly ia bis room and enjoy a view of the great wonders of nature and art, in scenery, build, ings, and other works, throughout tbe world. Stereoscopic views are cow multiplied by thousands of all noted places and buildings in tbe four quarters of the globe. Tbe views of Niagara Falls aud other Americau scene. rv, taken cn glass by Messrs. Lsngenheim & Co., of Philadelphia, have a world wide rep utation.

The afternoon down train on the Reading Railroad, on Tuesday s week, on leaving Reading, ran ever a little girl named Christiana Neidbnm mer, crushing her right leg. She died tbe same evening. The op evening train of the same day mot with an accident, near Conshobockon, which resulted in the death of a man named Henry Celp, of Pottstown. One of the axles of the Mail and Express car broke, the wheel rolling between the two rails. Enlp was sitting in the second class car when the accident occurred, and becoming frightened, jumped off whilst the train was moving at the rate ef 25 miles an bonr, frac turing bis scull to such an. extent that his brains protraded, causing his death in a few moments. i CyTae War in Europk Tbe intelli gence from Europe respecting tbe battle of Magenta leaves no donbt of tbe victory ob tained by the French and Sardinians over tbe Austrian!, es most decisive. Tbe Aostrians have abandoned Milan and Pavia, showing that they were, badly beaton end are now falling back npon their strong position in Lombardy. Later news shows tbat the victory at Ma genta was very decided. Tbe AiiBtriaus re treated to Cremona, pursued by the Allies. It is reported that Prussia bad given indica tions of aiding Austria. C3 Tde New Gold M inks. Horace Gree. ley it seems has reached tbe much talked of gold mines at Pike's Peak, about which" so many conflicting stories have been told. Mr. Greeley confirms the stories of the great richness at tbe new diggings, end thousands of disappointed adventurers who bad tnrned back are now on their return to tbe diggings from Fort Leavenworth. We paid a visit to our flourishing, though somewhat gassy neighbors of Williamsport, on Monday last, on the opening of the Jane term of the United Slates Court. Tbe occasion generally brings together, es jurors from different parts of the State, a number of distinguished individuals, such as Editors, Generals, Judges, Lawyers politicians, and office hunters, and other great men, in the- order we have named them. Soma of these we believe are regular attendants at every term. Among these we observed oar old friend Col. Tate, of the Columbia 'Democrat; and severat others who, we believe, have t 'free ticket," on the jury. That this tribunal is a legal one, may be known from tbe fact that tbe Gmnd Jury was composed of eighteen lawyers, three judges, one contractor, and one lumberman Judge Grier, and Judge McCanlees, succes sor to Jndge Irwin, were both present, and both looked well and venerable. Marshall Campbell, was es'jovial and good natored as osual. On Monday evening we listened to an ad dress from Miss Helen Dresser, a yonng lady of seventeen, who bad been with and escaped from the Mormons, with her father and mo ther. She spoke well and feelingly on lata subject of tbe outrages of these fanatics, and their moral degradation. AEEIVAL OF THEANGL0JAX01J'. FOUR DAYS LATCH fitOM El'ROPE. BATTLE OF MAGENTA.

Tbe Defeat of tbe Austrians at Magenta is said to have produced an immense sensation in Germany. I be correspondent ol tbe Daily Newt gives tbe following details : la lees than two hours tbe Allied Moo arcbs bad deployed 10,000 en against the Aostrians, whose force was 80,000, together with a powerful artillery. Tbey compelled tbe Aostrians to move oa a most disadvanta geous ground, as their left was soon tamed by Genera ICansobert's coops, supported by Gen. Fant'i division, and tbe Aostrians were obliged to fall en their center at Abbiate Grasso. The Aastrian centra being tbos swelled by the roete columns ef their left wing, was soon ia disorder, and thousands fell; crashed by tbe French artillery. Uen. McMahan had now reached tbe scan and seeieg the moment had coma U break the disordered centre ef the Aostrians, cbar ged with an impetuosity seldom witnessed supported by Durand's division which stood in reserve, ana was moving siowiy oesios uiiu the shock was terrible, atrd tbe dead end wounded were fulling by thousands.
