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.

Emigrants ar charged not to start without
four or Eix months' supplies, as the snow? set

They will thus prevent a recurrence of the suf

on the line of Boyleston aud Redfteld, stri

fragments were thrown a distance of two

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

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

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

On Monday evening we listened to an ad

their moral degradation.

Tbe Defeat of tbe Austrians at Magenta is

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. Tbe
Austrians were finally rented, and tbevietory
won. Tbe same w&r says tbat twenty

The London Post's Peris correspondent
says that over 4000 of tbe prisoners are Ital
ians, who took the earliest opportunity to
give themselves op. Tbey were always plac
ed in tne iront, and were threatened ny tn
Croats in the rear, if they did not fight well.
