Ao address to tbe aeceders from tbe Charleston ConTootion, showing the orgeat necessity for their return to the National Democratic Convention, at the adjourned meeting in June, was in circu lation to-day for the signatures of member of Congress. Tbe movement is Intended to forestall the meeting of Conventions in the States to snpply the vacancies occasioned by the withdrawal of the delegates.

The fishermen are now in the midst of their fish harvest. The CheBapeak bay is perfectly elrve with shod and herring. The herring are coming'up in immense numbers, nod tbe fishermon are making fortunes. Bond 1b said to have caught from twelve to eighteen hundred barrels of herring at one haul. Osborn, at the battery, caught one IbousBnd barrels at ono haul, and every body is catching from three to eight hundred bar rels per day. This run of herring is said to be tbe largest for thirty years. We have splendid weather for the growing crops, and in their present state tbe prospect for large crops is very favorable.

On last Sunday evening, between 8 and 9 o clock, when many or our citizens were as tembled In tbe boose or God, with peace, and good will toward all men in their hearts, tbe arcb-fiond was busy in another part of the town, causing tbe foul and brutal mnrder of a fellow beinK in cold blood I An Irishman employed as a workman in tbe Mootour rolling Mill, by tbe Bame of Andrew McKinley, deliberately stabbed one Thomas Shevland in the groin, cansmg bis deain almost instantly, Tbete seemed to have been no apparent pro vocation, and the consequent excitement among the crowd who bad been attracted to tbe spot by tbe cry of "murder," was intense so mucn bo, mat ii wub who aiuicuuy jon etable Creitz, assisted by a few energetic citi zees, conld take him safely to the jail. When Creitz arrested bim, be was concealed uader tbe bed id bis own bouse, having been previ' onsly chased through several streets. Tbe murdered man, Thomas Sbevland was employed at the Blast Furnaces or tbe Mod tour Iron Co. He was about 30 years of age a foreigner by birtb, having been born in Ireland, and leaves a wife and two small children to mourn his untimely loss. H lived in Centre street, near tbe Company's tore, and is said to have been a very quiet and peaceable citizen, an inoastrious work roan, and a member of the Roman Catholic charch. Bis remains were buried on Wed nesday afternoon followed by a very large concourse of people. Andrew McKiuley, the morderer, is CO years of age, about 6 feet, 3 inches in bight, or stout Irame, large broad and Ootid race, bald-beaded and is an Irishman by birtb although be resided for 20 years just previous to bis arrival in this country, (which was about 6 years ago,) in tbe city or Glasgow, in Scotland, wbere he has yet three boys living. the oldest or whom is now about 26 years or age. lie la married to bis second or third wire, but has no children with her ; and also beloogs to tbe Romish Church. In regard to the murder, be denies knowing anything about it, but says that be bad drank about a quart or wniskey on Sunday afternoon and evening, and that be is unconscious of any. thing that happened until he round himself tbe next morning boppled in jail. His trial will in all probability come off at tbe May sessions or our Court, which will commence on Monday tbe 21st inst JJancille Democrat. The Chops Tbe Cincinnati Gasett says : Verbal and written reports or tbe wheat crop, received tnrougu tbe country merchants during the week, are quite Satisfactory. Tbe late favorable weather has greatly improved the appearance or fields thut looked bad the first part or tbe month, and where the crops were not injured, ibey present a tine appear ance. loose accounts agree with reports copied in another place from exchanges. In some places where there was slovenly farm iog, the yiold under tbe most favorable cir coinstaiices, will be meagre, but north or tbe Ohio river, tbe indications at present are favorable for a satisfactory harvest. Advi ees from Reutocky are less encouraging, and in tbe State, it is altogether likely tbe crop will lull short or an average, i.aios be fallen in great abundance witbic tbe last two weeks. Tbe streams are all high, aod bottom lauds are, to a large extent, under water. Dry weather is now needod, to enable farmers to complete tbeir spring work. This we shall probably have, it being clear and cool at present writing. Corn planting time is at band and a buy time it will be for three weeks to come. Preparations have been made lor planting a greater breadth or land man in any previous year, and with a favora ble season, a corresponding yield may be an ticipated. With reference to tbe ceneral agricultural prospects or the West, we may ay iu a wora, mat tbe prospects are most euvouregwg. Important Druooists.

CP" Lecture Park Benjamin, Esq., of New York, delivered his lecture on "Love and Monoy," at the Court Houbo io this borougb, on Thursday evening last. It was highly instructive and entertaining, exhibit ing much talent and genius of a high order Mr. Benjamin is a man of extraordinary elocutionary powers, having the talent to fasten tbe attention of an audience and to impart new and excellent idea". His lecture was well attended by a very select audience although rain was falling during the whole evening in torrents. O" Tub Scoor Shovel Bonnets are be coming quite popular in this borough.

There will bo political Conventions enough in the next six weeks to satisfy all parties. Tbe Baltimore Union Convention is now in cession. Tbe Chicago lUpublicao will be beld on 16th or this month. Tbe first Democratic Convention, tbe Southern, will be held at Richmond on tbe 11th or June next. Tbe Northern democra. tic Convention oo the 18lh of the same month, 1 here is some speculation indulged wbethor the Baltimore Union and tbe Chicago Uepub lican Conventions will not both be postponed till after the Democratic Conventions bave been beld, and tbe subject of a oomication Goally decided by tbem. There are some advantages, it is supposed, to tbe other two parties io knowing wbo tbe Democratic can didate is before tbey make tbeir nominations sU" Iui'roveuentb. Wa learn that a num ber of bouses are to be erected in this borough, during tho present summer, and tbat some bave already commenced to build and repair. Among those wbo are now en gaged in making these improvements to our town, are He v. J.

Tbe bouse, when finished, will be a handsome buildiog, and will make another addition to tho beauty of tbat street. P. W.

A Mr. Cray bas tbe necessary means, and ia a man of good testa and judgmeut, we bave no doubt but what La will make it one of tba handsomest buildings in the borougb.

New York, May 8tb, 18C0. Tha present week is what it tenerallv termed "Anniversary week," when the great rengious ana cnaritaoia societies assemble here in convention, attended by delegates, from various parts of the Union, for discus sion and tbe transaction of business, such as the American Foreign Christian Union, American iract society, Temperance Union, American Ann-Slavery society, Womens Rights Societv. and a number of rtW The programme for the week Is published in advance, and the proceedings reported daily, for tbe papers. Among tbe most prominent of those, not only on accouot of its impor tance in a moral and religious view, but on account of its great political bearing, la tbe Anti-Slavery Society, of which Wm. Loyd Garrison, is tha President, supported by Kev. Dr. Cheever and Wendell Philips, who though fanatical io their extreme opinions, are distinguished for tbeir eloquence and ability. Garrison and Philips, openly ad vocate a dissolution of the Union, denouncing the Constitution which legalizes Slavery, as unchristian and a compact with bell, ibis Society meets to day at the Cooper Institute. Tbe Speakers announced for to day are Gar rison, Dr. Cheever, Parvis, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stantoo and Wendell Philips. Among tbe Speakers for tbe evening, I observed the name or Rev. Arthur B. Bradford, of New Castle Pa. Arthur is a Sunbury boy, the youngeBt son of the late Judge Bradford, and as be was one or my earliest companions and school matcB, I shall endeavor to give him a hearing, if possible, to press my way through the crowd that is drawn together on these occasions. As a pulpit orator he gave early evidence ef more than ordinary ability, and bas been uncompromising in bis opposition to slavery from the start. Tbe four political conventions wbicb as semble this month and the next, keep our politicals and oflice hunters extremely busy in their disinterested efforts to save tbe Union and preserve tbe plunder arising from place and station. The Union Convention to be held at Balti more to-morrow, mostly by friends of the American party, will require but little time to settle upon a ticket. Tbe most prominent candidates are fidward Everett and Geo. Houston. The Republican Convention at Chicoco. comes off on tbe ICtb. Tbe most prominent candidates are Senator Seward of New York, Edward Hates, or Missouri, Judge McLane, or Ohio, and Gen. Cameron, or Pennsylvania. Gov. Seward could, no doubt, be nominated if be desired it, or rather if his friends, in calculating tbe chance, deem ed it advisable. Tbe split in tbe Charleston Convention, iB looked upon as affording bim additional encouragement. Tbe Convention at Richmond by tbe seceders of the Charles ton Convention on tbe 11th of June, will not, I think, amount to anything practical, as some ol the Virginians will insist upon them re-uniting with tba adjoarned democratic Convention at Baltimore in June. Judge Douglas' friends express great confidence in being able to nominate bim at Baltimore. Tbe result will brine four candidates in the field, as it was in 1824, when Gen. Jackson Clay, Crawford and Jobo Quincy Adams were tbe candidates. John Quincy Adams was then elected by the anion of the friends or Air. Uiay, with those or air. Adams. Georee Kremer of Union county represented our district io Congress, at this time, and was challenged by Mr. Clay, wbo became secretary or State under Mr. Adams, for words in debate, charging Mr. Clay, with bargain and sale, and corruption. I be bgbl did not take place, but "Honest George" as be was called acquired no little notoriety in consequence thereof. A large majority, ir not all, of tbe Southern states will cast tbeir electorial votes (or the Richmond candidate. Tbe opposition will be divided between tbe Union caodidate and the one presented by tbe Baltimore Conven tioo. This will give the Richmond ticket a large majority in tbe Southern States, but still a minority in tbe Electorial College. In tbe Northern States owing to tbe break up at Charleston, tbe republican majorities, and the' success of tbe Chicago ticket may be looked upon as certain in a great majority, if not in all or tbem. cut this will not give la that ticket a majority oi tbe Electoral Col lege. Tbe vote or tbe Centrul and commer cial States will therefore decide tbe coming strucglo. The great fight continues to absorb a good deal of the attention of tbe Press, as well as tbe people. This is owing to tbe fact tbat tbo J-.oglien made it assume a national character. According to tbeir own papers the Knglisb nobility and members or 1 orlia ment were present in considerable numbers An American centUman or this city wbo was present at tbe Cgbt says, that several millions or monoy was bet by those wealthy bnglisb sportsmen, giving the odds on Sayers, which taken principally by liussians aud irencn Bportmen and gentry, whose partialities are Btroogly on tbe side or tbe American.' Morrissey is denounced every wbere. He at' tempted to defend himself in a card, iu the papers here, by saying be looked upon it as a business matter aud not as a national matter, But even tbe English papers denounce bim tor bavicg deceived tbem, by creating an impression that Heonan was a coward, and whose conduct, tbey say, has proved tbat gamer man never lived. Tbe fact is, Heenan told Mc'Donald, bis second, tbat be could soon finish Sayers, after tbe tenth round, but as Mc'Donald had a bet that tbe tight would last an hour be requested Heenan not to do so. Tbe English Journals all speak bigbly or lleenans courage and one proportions aod strength. Tbey admit tbat Sayeis life was in peril, wben tbe ropes were cot and loosed but justify tbe interferene on the score of humanity. Tbe London Review, thus refers to tbe subject : "But we further bave to remark, tbat if 'Heenan aud bis friends complain tbat tbe 'battle was left undecided, tbe American 'champion has chiefly himself to blame for tbe 'disappointment wbicb be may think be baa 'sustained. It is certain that be was holding 'Sayers so tbat b would have strangled bim 'in another minuto, and tbe ropes enclosing 'tbe ring were cut or loosened by some one 'near at band, in order to deliver Sayors from 'what appeared to be tbo peril of immediate 'death. Wben the ropes were once lowered 'of coarse the ring was broken, and it is difli 'cult to pronounce wbetber all the confusion 'which ensued was, or was not, inevitable." "Heenan is probably tbe finest man who 'ever stepped into a prize ring. Ha bas 'shown unflinching courage, and, as he now 'knows bis own terrific strength, aod may be 'expected to improve io skill, end to feel no 'nervousness, neither England nor America 'will soon find a man to beat bim. Sayers 'most amply justified tbe confidence wbicb 'bis countrymen repose in bim. A mora ac 'complisbed, enduring and couragoos boxer 'never wora the belt of champion. We trust tbe combatants aod their friends will feel that 'enough has bees done and Buffered for tbe 'honor of tba men and of tbe countries wkicb 'gave tbem birtb." CJ" Suicide in Williamsi'ort.

These questions should be answered promptly, and as nearly as possible correctly, and io order to do so it would be advisable for every head of a family to write down the answers in advance. Farmers especially should io thmr leisure moments prepare accurate statements of the number of acres of land tbey may bave nnder cultivation, the number of bushels of different kinds of grain, the quantity of hay, Trait, ic, tbey produced last year, together with the number of horses, cattle "and other stock they feed. This would greatly facilitate tbe labors of tbe CenBus-Taker, Snd also render tbe information Government is seeking more valuable and reliable. J. U. McCormick, William Elliott and Cbarlos P.

He stated lo his father that the burglars were five Germans from Harrisburg ; that they effected an entrance into tbe store with a large morticing chisel, which they stolo from a cabinet maker's shop near by ; that the goods were conveyed to Harrisburg, and concealed under an old ounuing in a tan yard on Front street This mysterious revelation, made by the boy, when it was known he was in M.lton when the burglary tooK place, excited the curiosity of the father, and he con cluded to bring the child to this city, where he had never been before, for tbe purpose of testing the truth of his singular revelation, upon arn ving here, the boy conducted his father directly to Greenawalt's vacated tannery, but before arriving there the boy said that the UuilJing under which tbe goods had been concealed was being torn down, and that the goods had been previously removed to Middlctown. When it is considered that the boy was never ia this city before, and upon his arrival here conducted his father at once t the tannery on Front street, the case is indeed remarkable. The goods have not yet been recovered, nor the alleged burglars arrested, but from what is already known there is very little doubt that certain parties in our city had a hand in the business. SJQT Tbe National Constitutional Union Convention met at Baltimore oo Wednesday last, and was called to order by the Hon. John J. Crittenden, on whose motion the Hon. Washington Hunt, ex-Goveroor of New York, was called to tbe chair. All tbe States were represented, except South Caro lina end Oregon.
