Susquehanna —The Tfrpuhlican says that James Tnicsdell, a gentleman of some seventy years, living in Liberty, Susquehanna county, has boon for over twelve years past industrious ly engaged, when the weather and his health would permit, in digging over a piece of ground near his dwelling, and carrying the stones and some dirt into a pile. Here he has labored, taking oho stone or a shovel full of dirt at a time, until the mound has reached the height of thirty or forty feet, and is much larger than his houne. lie said as a reason for his labors that ho lust a sixpence in his garden. He soon after found several sixpences, but continued to dig until his whole garden has been carried to increase the mound. He is peaceable and in dustrious in bis way, so bis family lot him work. To their offers of assistance he gives a decided negative, and digs away alone. Mr. Truesdell is a well informed man, and talks rationally on every subject hut his lost sixpence. Potter —7V o find tlio following article rela tive to tlie early history of Potter County, in the last number of the Coudersport Journal : Tliis county was erected from Lycoming, on the 20lh of March, 1804. Tioga and McKean were erected the same day. The 4th section of the act of Assembly of that date reads as fol lows : “Tint so much of the county of Lycoming included in the following boundaries, to wit: Loginning five miles north of the south-east corner of McKean county, thence east thirty miles to Kroadhead’s easterly district line; thence north along said district line to the State linef: thence west along the State line to the norm-cast line of McKean county; thence south along the line of McKean county to tho place of beginning; be, and the same is hereby creeled into a separate county to be henceforth called Potter county, and the place of holding tljs> /VinrU In And /Vr buutttt, shall be fixed by tho Legislature at any plaee at a distance not greater than seven miles from the centre of the said county, which may bo most beneficial for the said county." - The territory thus bounded contains eleven hundred square miles, and is the present bound ary of the county, -which is said to have been named in honor of General Jamer Potter, an officer in the army of the revolution 1 . On the 4th of March, 1807, the Leg Mature established the place for holding the courts at CouJersport, which is six miles west, and two miles north of the centre of the county. The reason why the Legislature fixed the countv seat at this place is given in the preamble to the act of Assembly in the fullowingVords: “Whereas in conformity with the provisions contained in the 9th section of the act entitled *an act to erect parts of Lycoming, Hunting don and Somorsetcoantics into separate county districts, passed March Ist, ISO 4, Sampson Crawford, Hugh White and Robert M'Clure, trustees appointed for the county district of Potter, have transmitted to the General Assem bly proposals by them received from John Keat ing, in his own name, and on behalf of Richard Gernon and John S. Roulet, have caused a town to Le laid out at the forks of Allegheny river in the said county, on a. ground plot of 1)0 acres of laud, to be hereafter called and known by the name of Coudersport, two-thirds whereof they have offered to convey to the said trustees exclusive of a square for the erection of public buildings and a square for the use of an Acad emy or public school, which are to be conveyed for the use of the said county, and have also offered to comcy one hunijred and fifty acres of land near the said town for the use and support of an Academy or public school, and to pay to the said trustees the sum of five hundred dol lars towards the expense of erecting a suitable building fur such Academy or public school, and have executed aud filed a bond in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth for the faithful performance of their engagements above mentioned, nnd it will be advantageousfto the said county district to accept thereof.’ There fore be it enacted, that the scat of justice for the county district of Potter shall be and the same is hereby established and confirmed at the town of Cuiidcrsport, m the county of Potter. The Courts of Lycoming county had juris diction over this district. On the 20th of March Potter and McKean were authorized to elect county Commissioners in the following manner. In October lB‘l. r >, McKean elected two Commissioners and Potter one. After that each county elected one every other year, and the three thus elected had their office at the house of Benjamin Burt, in Roulet township. Potter county, and there assessed the taxes, and trans acted business for the two counties. On the 27tl> of March 1824, the Legislature enacted, “That M’Kcan and Potter should be separated and detached from each other, and each of the said counties shall have separate boards of Commissioners, Auditors, and other county officers.” Same day by another act, McKean county was judicially organized, and Potter was annexed to McKean for judicial pur poses.

Wc seldom intrude our private financial affairs upon the public, and ■would refrain from doing so now if it were not to explain the rea sons for a change in the subscription price of the Agitator for the coming year. When, three years ago, the then proprietors of the establish ment adopted the advance cash system and rc~ duced the subscription from One Dollar and a 'Half to One Dollar a year, it was with the hope that by this change the circulation would be so largely increased as to make but little difference in the actual cost of publication. So far as the increase of circulation was concerned, the hope was not realized. Instead of attaining a circu lation of-20u0 which number would only be profitable, the paper has never had more than 1000 paying subscribers. We bare always be lieved that by a little effort on the part of our friends in the different townships this number could be attained, but wc cannot pay for this effort and our friends caunot be made to see the necessity of doing anything more than to sub scribe and pay for themselves. Wc arc satisfied, as was our predecessor, of the benefit both to the subscriber and publisher of the pay down cash system. It is the only just system, and in making the proposed change we will not depart from it. We have to an nounce, then, that after the first day of Janua ry next, the subscription price of the Agitator will bo For one copy oue year, - - - - 51,50. Fur ten copies in a club, - -* - 12,50. For twenty copies in a club, - - 20,00. In all cases the cash must he sent with the names in advance. Our readers will expect to hoar the reasons for this change, and we propose to furnish them. Our expenses for the year 1850 in cash paid out by us will bo To compositors, ------ $720,00. For paper and ink, ----- 008,00. For rent of office, &c. &o. - - - 120,00. This expenditure does not include our own constant and exclusive labor upon the paper, nor does it include tho wear and tear of mate rial. Vet to balance this we have only about 1000 paying subscribers. Our readers will see at a glance that the paper does not pay for itself, and that we have had to draw upon our Job Work and Advertising patronage to make good our past losses upon the paper. Tho pa per ought to pay for itself, and not only this, hut it ought to yield some profit to its publish er. We expect to lose a few subscribers by this change. There arc some men who soem to think they ought to gee theh paper fur nothing: and there are-some who think that a subscrip tion to a newspaper is the last thing they ought to pay. But | seven-eighths of our subscribers are men Who arc willing to pay for what they get if it is worth the money ; and we submit that if anything is worth what is asked fur it, it is the county paper, - It is believed that the paper has many warm friends in the county, who will be acticex n re placing all those who may fail off. When a subscriber fails to receive Ins paper, he may infer that his subscription has expired. If he wishes to continue it, let him remit the money to our address. Those who are in arrears will much oblige us by sending us the amount at the earliest opportunity. It |s desirable that all subscriptions to this paper should expire on the Ist of January of each year. Thus every man will have a set time to pay for Ids paper. The approaching Court weeks will afford an excellent oporfunity to settle up old dues nnd subscribe for another year. We urge upon our friends the necessity ol assisting us by their active co-operation.— Our list should not be suffered to fall off. An cxciting''Prosidential Campaign is at hand, and through the agency of the press alone, can the cause of Freedom bo placed before the people. As to tiie stand which the Awraxoa lias taken in the battle fur Liberty and Good Order, its present and past bear witness. Its future course may be calculated by its past. It has steadily opposed rum aud slavery always; it will ever be found the champion of the op pressed and the fearless advocate of every thing which promises to. benefit our Race,-and to promote the Well Being of Society.

The pow der, minnie rifles, and rifled cannons sent by lt J. B.' fJ and the troops of Gov. Wise might be semeable as agaunst an invading foe; but as against the Public sentiment against the Horrors of Slavery which John Brown's death' will awaken both North and South, suclfmuni tions can be of little avail. The Shamocratio politicians who grew jubi lant and grinned with joy over this affair as be ing a god-send to their party to make political capital out of, will grin the other way, a year hence. If not fre mistake the signs of the times. Our next State Convention is called to meet at Harrisburg, February 22d, 1860, to nominate a candidate for Governor, form a Presidential Electoral ticket, appoint Senatori al, and designate the time and mode of electing District Delegates to the National Convention, &c. From a long article in a late number of the New York Tribune wo clip the following and commend it to the earnest consideration of the Republicans of this County. Let us pee which town takes the lead in effecting the organiza tion of a Republican Chib for ISOO. Republicans of every State I we tell you that the result of the Election of 1860 is not yet decided—that it will be adverse to your hopes and expectations if you do-not work. Do you imagine that those who control and largely profit by the expenditure of the Federal Gov ernment Sixty Millions of Revenue per annum will surrender them without a struggle more determined and trying than any you have ever known ? They can richly afford to spend many dollars to your one; they will do it in 1860, as they did in ’56, when Pennsylvania, fully pre pared, only a fortnight before the eventful day, to give Ten Thousand for us at her October State Election, was made to give, or seemed to give, Tiro Thousand against us on that day.— Money, suborning Fraud, did this; and Money will do the like again unless you begin now to create a public sentiment which will render Money useless and Fraud hopeless in the final stages of the contest. Your hundreds of dol lars can only overbear your adversaries' thou sands by being wisely applied now. What is urgently needed to-day is substan tially as follows: 1. The formation in every County, at the County scat or some equally commanding loca tion, of a Republican Campaign Club, composed of all who are willing to work for a Republican triumph in 1860. If there is a live County Committee, let that be deferred to in all things; but two-thirds of the County Committees, oven where such practically exist, are as dead as Julius Cmsar. A live Club at every County seat is indispensable, and it ought to bo formed at once. Let its books be open to all who will join, but let an Executive Committee be chosen by it composed of men who will certainly put heart and brain into the work* ! $1220,00. 2. The moment such a Committee is consti tuted, let each member of.it bet to work, by correspondenee'andnersonal visitation, to in cite tho formation otkmuXar Clubs in every township and village in the Couirtjvjmd at thei County seats of other Counties. \ o. Let e*u,h Oouotj Club employ, as soon as may bo, a competent and trustworthy Agent or Actuary, to traverse the County, urging the formation of kindred Clubs ; and 4. Make arrangements at once with the best Republican journals, giving tbq preference to tho>c of your own County, for supplying their respective sheets for the ensuing year, at the lowest possible cash l price. Let it bo the busi ness of each Club, and the special duty of the County Agent or Actuary, to get a good Re publican paper subscribed and paid for by every person in the County who can be induced to take one. Have specimens of all the jour nals at hand, and let every one take that which h« prefers, but try to strengthen local journals as much as possible. Of course, we mean good journal-*, conducted by editors of unquestiona ble ability, intelligence and integrity, as we trust most Republican journals are. To circu late any others is to damage seriously the cause you desire to promote. Rut, having procured 'specimens of the best, let a united, systematic effort be promptly made to put one into the hands of every voter who can be induced to pay the lowest cash price for it. Aid if there be any one who, by reason of some Providen tial affliction, is unable to pay, be sure that he has a copy supplied him without charge, and is thanked for taking it. 5. Let the County Club open a correspond ence at once with your Member of Congress, if a Republican ; if he is not. then with the Re publican Member who lives nearest; and have •him forward the most important Speeches and Documents to those whose names you will fur nish. Don’t ask him to pay fur them out of his own pocket, but send him a fow dollars to cover the cost of paper and printing; he will gladly do hh part of the work for nothing.— Rut, even though you should bo too poor, or too mean, to pay for the documents, send him the names. —All this, Ton say, -will cost something.— Ves, it certainly will. And if we arc not pre pared to pay something, wo cannot tako tho Treasury out of tho hands which now clutch it, and we may just ns well give it up first as last. Hut we believe there are very few County seats in the I’reo States wherein fen to a hun dred men cannot he found who will cheerfully contribute what may be necessary for tho pur poses we have indicated. Let the work begin there, and the towns will take it up and do their share of it. If there bo one where no body will work and nobody pay, just as sure as you live there will, within two days after we elect a Republican President, be three or four papers circulating in that town in recommenda tion of A. B. and C. fur Postmaster; and if there be any in which the Republicans are too indolent and mean to start a Club at all, the recommendation papers aforesaid will probably he slyly circulated before Election, so as to take time by the forelock. We judge of what will be from what has been. Republicans of every State! is it desirable to succeed in IStJO ? If it is, then it is essentia! that we go to work now. We have gone to work, and mean to keep at work till the close of the polls in November, ISfiO. Some can help in one way, some in another; but every one who feels a deep and lively interest in the cause must work if we are to win. Be en treated to begin at onoe ! Congress meets next Monday, and will elect a Republican .Speaker by plurality. Organize i F R OMT HEP EOPLE. ’ " ' Letter from Kansas. Speech of Ex. Gov. Stanton —Visit to Winthrop, ]tfo.—First snow of the season—Republicans Contesting the late Election, die. Atchison, Kansas, Nov. 17, 1859. Editor of Agitator : Last night I had the pleasure of listening to one of the most pow erful, eloquent, calm and conclusive speeches I ever heard in Kansas, by Ex.’Gov. Frederick P. Stanton. This man it is known by nearly everybody, was appointed Secretary of this Territory in the Spring of ’57, and acted as Gov ernor until the arrival of Robert J. Walker.— By seeing “that the laws were faithfully exe cuted,” and throwing out the fraudulent votes of the renowned “Oxford,” he was recalled, Mr. Stanton is now one of the most consistent Republicans wo have in Kansas, and is working as hard as any other man for the election of the Repulican State ticket to secure her to freedom. He reviewed the whole history of Kansas, from the passage of the Organic Act down to the present time, alluding to the hundreds and thousands of wrongs committed by the Dem ocracy, the stuffing of ballot-boxes, armed bod ies of Missourians invading our borders, and the small and miserable minority which then carried every election. He could not see how this was done when he came here, and could not believe the reports which were then going the rounds of the newspapers, but he was not long in seeing through the whole machinery. He spoke at length upon the State ticket put in nomination by the Pro-Slavery party, and gave old Sammedary such a raking down as I nevorl before beard of. Personally he had no feelings against Gov.. Medary, but he would soonev vote for that old tyrant himself, than to vote for this gentleman for Governor. This speech lasted over two hours, and was received amid shouts and cheers from the large congre gation in attendance. Gen. Strlngfellow, Col. Abell, and several other notorious leading Ruffians of ’55 and ’5O listened to bis speech, but it was almost impos sible for them to keep their seats. His senti ments could not be very easily digested by them. Last Sunday I took a stroll over in Winthrop, Mo. which lies just across tbo Missouri river from this place. I thought I had seen some rather hard looking places in Missouri, but 1 never did until I visited Winthrop. It is ithe terminus of the Atchison and St. Joseph Rail road, and may, in time make quite a town. At present there are but very few living there ex cept pro-slavery men, aud until the place begins to settle with Eastern men it never will amount to a row of pins. It contains about twenty-five houses, and'if my eyes did not badly deceive me, at least one-third of them arc low grog shops. The county in which Winthrop is situ ated, boars the name of the meanest man in the United States— Buchanan. We are now enjoying a spell of ns fine weather ns ever I saw. Snow, the first of the season, fell to the depth of half an inch on the night of the 11th, but it soon disappeared and any body could not wish Tor more delightful weather. Two or three days previous the wind blew from the South a perfect hurricane inces santly for two days, blowing the sand and dust in such clouds that X doubt whether the “Sa hara” could possibly have been worse. The Board of Canvassers are now engaged contesting tho Election of this County, which, by all kinds of illegal voting, went Pro-Slavery at the election on the Bth Inst. Enough fraud ulent votes have already been found in one ward in this city to defeat them. It will be some thing curious if the Bepuhlicans dc not receive their certificates. The nows comes in slowly, but Marcus J. Par rott is certainly elected by a handsome ma jority. F. A, R. For the Agitator. Union Academy. This institution is located in the delightful valley of the Cowanesqne, in tbo midst of a fertile agricultural district, and combines the advantages of a pleasant, healthy, and retired situation. No institution in this section of the county affords better facilities for obtaining a complete and thorough Academic education than this.— While the government is intended to be of such a nature as to develop the student’s self-respect, and self-control, the method of instruction aims at thorough, independent scholarship.— In education wc despise superficiality, and have no fellowship with pompous pretensions. We are more anxious that our students shall be Hhan appear educated. That they shall be pre pared to act nobly tbeir part in life, rather than “show off” in society. Though but very little effort has ever been made to call Jn students from a distance, we number 112 students now on our register, with a remarkably regular attendance, and wc are gratified to know that the interest felt in our prosperity throughout the surrounding country is rapidly increasing, and wc trust the hopes of friends and patrons may be fully realized in the true and substantial progress of those placed under our care. The present term is one of marked prosperity, and we anticipate a future, far in advance of the present. While laboring to impart thorough drilling in the common English branches, we arc grati fied to witness a constantly increasing interest and anxiety manifested for a more liberal edu cation. The languages and higher mathematics begin to form a prominent feature in our course of instruction. The young ladles and gentlemen begin to feel more generally that if they would occupy their proper positions in society, keep pace with the times, and reflect honor upon the name of man, or woman, they must not limit their efforts to obtaining a more common Eng lish education. , Those who are preparing to teach can enjoy opportunities hero, equal to any Institution in the country. Our class of teachers is very large and proba bly of as high a grade as can he found in the county. Our ambition is to educate, not only the mind, but the heart; to incite not only to clear think ing, but to noble feeling , and right acting. We view religion as the corner-stone in building up a character, and that system of education, which ignores this all important element is radically defective and worse than a failure. Connected with the Institution are three lit erary societies, which offer excellent advantages to those desiring to improve in writing, and speaking. A. 11. Wicutman. For the Agitator. Begging Imposters. Lxiiertv Not. 17th, 1859. Hugh Young, Esq. Dear Sir: —You will do Liberty Township a great favor by publishing the following facta. A family named Potter moved into this town ship from the State of New York all-out two or three years ago. They have made their living since then, by making long journeys through the county, and State, asking for alms, and otherwise appealing to the charities of the peo ple. Their method of begging is as follows: The mother, (an old woman of seventy years) and the son, (a middle aged and very inferior looking man) start out upon a journey. The woman appears very sanctimonious, and the man pretends to he crazy, when they get so far from home ns not to be recognized. The woman makes her way into a house to do the begging, while thespn remains in the road, bellowing and throwing up dirt and stone and talking incohe rently; as though ho were crazy. In this way the old lady enlists sympathy for her “poor, crazy j son,” and herself, and seldom leaves a house [without something in the shape of alms. X desire to warn the public against these pre tended paupers. The people of Liberty make ample] provision for the poor in this Township, but they do not include the Potter family among their paupers. At home, at the Blockhouse, the old lady frequenty exhibits to her neighbors her “riches,” and has been known to show a bag containing three, five, and ten cent peices to the amount of from fifty to a hundred dollars. “The poor craxy boy,” when at home makes great pretentions to being a first-class horse jockey, and would consider it a great slander to he called a crazy pauper. Their operations are not confined to this county, ns they preamhu late nearly every county in the State, Papers in other counties would do well to warn their readers against these imposters. Yours &c. A Citizen of Liberty. Another Insurrection—The Virginian Fright. The Commonwealth of Virginia is just now the victim of innumerable practical jokes.— Those letters that Gov. Wise is receiving from other States are all “sells” of the most flagrant kind, and their writers must be chuckling over their success, when they see them published grave y by Gov. Wise, and endorsed in all se riousness by his official editor. Yet the people of Virginia do not all see through these very transparent jokes, and their Governor, by telling them what he has heard, has thrown them into a condition of panic terror that is positively dis grace ml. The other night the whole population of Charleston, with its thousand armed defen ders, were thrown into an awful fright by the apparition of a cow 1 The poor animal was shot at by a terrified sentinel. Perhaps he thought it was a sort of Trojan Corf, bearing in its stomach an army of abolitionists ; as if a cow could easily hear anything but calves, of whom, even Virginians ought not to he afraid. Thert is evidently an epidemic madness in Vir ginia, which is unaccountable among a people whose heroism used to bo proverbial. Or else th ey feel that they are or have been doing wrong, and when even poor Brindle appears, “Conscience does make cow-ards of them all.” Another flagrant trick upon the' nervous Virginians is exposed in our columns to-day— AVo allude to the absurd story, published in vestorday’s morning papers, about Governor Packer’s having tendered to Governor jjWise IO.OOU men to guard the Maryland and -Penn sylvania line. This is officially contradicted by a despatch from the Secretary of State, and it is gratifying to learn that Governor Packer has not done tho foolish thing reported of him.— The report gained credence in many quarters, in these days of silly credulity; but those who knew the Governor best set it down as false from tho very first. — F/tiladdphia Bulletin.
