The Hon.jGalusha A. Grow, Speaker of the House of. Representatives, arrived in the'city yesterday, and was last evening tendered a ser enade at the St. Nicholas Hotel. Many of our citizens called upon Mr. Grow and paid their respects, and a vast assembly gathered before the hotel aoitie time before the hour designated (10 o’clock) for tbo serenade, Dodwortb’s band having! played several patriotic airs. Mr E. Delafield Smith, U. S. District-Attor ney, appeared upon.the balpony. He was re ceived with ;loud cheers, and introduced Mr. Grow as follows: Fellow-Citizens: It having been announced last evening that the distinguished statesman, in whoso honor yon have assembled, would be in our city tP-day, we have yielded to a.general desire that the event should not pass unnoticed. The President and his Cabinet, after sustain ing unaided and alone the honor and and the very existence of the country, during months of doubt and daikness, summoned the assistance of the national Legislature. That summons was nobly rebponded to. 'J’he President called 400,000 men ; they voted 500,000. The Presi dent asked for four hundred millions of money : they voted five hundred millions. No assem blage, save the Continental Congress, will live more honored pn the page ofListory. [Cheers.] While wejglory in the gallantry of cur Union army, we greet to-night a civil officer of rare ability and tried patriotism. We rally in re spect to tbs jauthor of the homestead policy, the champiomof Union and Liberty, and the man who hauled; down the South' Carolina, “ Keitt” [Laughtermnd applause]. This ova tion is not off red by a party, but by the repre. entatives of the patriotic people of New-York, of all political predilections. | We honor the son of Pennsylvania, thoworthy successor in the Speaker’s chair of James K. Polk and lien-' Ty Clay. Fellow-citizens, I Introduce, to you all, the Hon. Galusha A. Grow, the speaker of the United States House of Representatives.— [Cheers.] i M. Grow then came forward amid great cheering, iHo said: ~ Felloe i Citizens : Accept my grateful ac knowledgement for the cordiality of this greet ing. With mingled emotions of joy and ol sorrow I stand before ydu: of joy, that around •me waves so profusely the emblems of a glori ous nationality, and- that here every man is proud to be an American citizen ; oft sorrow, that in so large a portion of the Republic the claim of American citizenship should he regar ded as a qjime, to be visited .with cruelties which tnuki oven the savage blush, and that anywhere on American soil the peaceful homes of citizens should be laid in ashes, and they exiled from the scenes of their infancy, and all that man holds dear, because they cherish with devotion tile principles of our patriotic sires, and choose 'to sustain the Constitution and form of Government they cemented by their blood. Fellow-cijtizehs, during the last decade the spirit of, human progress has made a trinm pbant march over the whole world, and rms.- coated wrongs and time-honored abuse have crumbled before its magic power. Everywhere the chains of the serf have been broken'; old nationalities have fallen—new nationalities have risen ; J old dynasties have perished—new dynasties have been formed, and along the shores of the Mediterranean the dungeons of despotism haye given up their victims guilty of no offensive save that they loved only liberty. {Cheers.] And the land of fable and of song is again the home of Freedom- The first exul-. tant notes of disenthralled nationalities in the Old World had sbarce expired on the plains of Europe when the iron bail beating on the walls 'of Sumter shook a whole continent, and called millions of men to the tented field to uphold with stout arms brave heartis the priceless blessings, bequeathed to uS by;our fathers.— [Great cheering.] I shall not trespass on your patience at this time to .discuss any of the rea sobs of this causeless and wicked rebellion against the nearest and the dearest rights .of mankind, by striking a fratricidal blow- at the vitality of the Republic, which, when it falls, ishould so gfcedt aj calamity befall the race, Free dom, heaving a sigh, may wing her way, back from earth to heavdn. And oppressed, down trodden map can bug his chains', the only legacy he ‘tan bequeath his children. Bat by the obli gation you owe your children and the reverence due your fathers will you, I ask, allow enemies abroad and traitors at home to sap the founda tions of your Freedom. If you do you will be false to the great trust that a kind Providence has given to your keeping. When you peruifr 50,000 men, composing a great, ohligaroby, to j-un an imaginary line across this continent, you wilt permit a death blow to be Struck at the liberties of mankind. Your fathers, half a century ngn, with a furcisl that was charao- teriatic of their nets, thought it necessary to ex clude from this continent all foreign J jurisdic tion. Hence they purchased Louisiana, taking her from France—h# jurisdiction lying west of the Mississippi. For'the same reason Florida was purchased in order to control the commerce of the Gulf of Mexico. Hep-jurisdiction then rested in. Spain, and won .transferred to the Government of the United States. Your fathers believed it was one of the questions of vital im portance jto the future of this country that ho foreign power should have jurisdiction at the mouth of,the Mississippi river.' Are willing, tq-day, that ,hostile portion of your own people should have jurisdiction of this territory when, yon would not permit a foreign power to have it? [Cries of “No “never.”] Follow-citizens, this is but one branch of the subject, hut it conies home to the bosoms and business of every American. It. is a question affecting your liberties.and those of your chil dren. These liberties are put in peril by the usurpers who attempted to seize this jhrisdic tlon which your fathers purchased. This war, remember, is a war waged by a small minority of men in! order to control thp destines of the of the wishes of the major ity—(to take by bullets what they lost by bal lots. Tbe question' to be settled is, whether twenty millions of freemen shall 1 permit three millions to pull down this fair temple of liberty and all the cherished institutions bequeathed to us by our fathers. Better than this a war though it bo?t millions of lives. It may cost blood, and treasure. Our independence cost the lives of tbe noblest army of martyrs that ever consecrated a holy pause with their blood.— Yet your liberties and institutions were pur chased cheaply though at such a cost. So, if it be necessary that millions of men be sacrificed now, the result will be che.aply bought. The gales that sweep over our land to day hear the wall and the woe of (loath brought to many a home for the lust and dear ones. But, follow-citi zens they still- live; such qion never die. and we know not whether to rejoice or raoarn at their fate. But no man lives in vain or dies too soon who falls defending the liberties of his pountry or the liberties of mankind. [Cheers.] Such men are immortal. They lived in the affections of the present" and in the gratitude of the future. “The battle of onr lift; is brief,- The alarm, t&d struggle, the relief; Then sleep wo side by side.” Eva. A. GBOW, But in that brief battle it is permitted man to perform deeds of greatness—deeds that, live when the marble crumbles and tbe grass fades. Tablets of stone perish, but what is written upon them lives forever, though, owing to tbe frailties of human nature, their enduring in scriptions have too often to be engraven by the sword. It seems to .be a part of (the plans of Divine Providence that the soil It* which tbe seeds of Liberty ape to germinate must first be drenched in human gore, and almost every ad vance of the race to a higher civilization and nobler destiny must be through'the smoko and over the carnage of the battle-fiel turn the waters of earth into blbod, and the rod of good men must change them back again ; but before that can be accomplished, unless by miraculous influences, t)re contagion must be absorbed by the death of fiumbeiless men.— The pathway from the land of bondage or the house of national degradation leads through the wilderness of the Red Sea.

[Every rich or poor, who is possessor it#fee simple of one half acre of soil, should at o'Sfee, if noVal ready done, procure, plant and stflf'out, a_,suffi 'cient quantity of the hardy, delicious, .dmall fruits of the country, to supply'-himself family with a luxury inestimable for the ; expended in .their cultivation. No hatched up excuses are justifiable in the seemingly utter neglect of their cultivation by the farming por tion, of this County ; and yet there is no branch of labor that pays a larger per cent, of actual profit and comfort to the family,, or household. They are indispensable to the needs of every one, and enter largely-into the culinary prepa ralioqayas one of the most healthful diets in their season. No frugal house-wife (and I ap peal to the ladies in support of my theory,) can dispense with the luscious and fragrant straw terry, the healthful currant and gooseberry, the delicious raspberry and blackberry,' and the ever healthful grape, to say nothing of the chpr ry, the plum, the apple and the pear, who has once been accustomed- to their use., Fields, woods, hills and valleys, are yearly scoured in search of the, wild varieties of thoso ’ fruits by all classes, while if the time thus spent was judiciously expended at homo in their cultiva tion, no individual would long be deprived of these indispensable necessaries to family com fort. The labor of cultivating small, fruits is .light, and will prove a delightful recreation to the farmer’s house hold, and unlike the apple and the pear, the rcsuls of your labor is almost immediate, for most varieties bearspatingly the first, but profusely the second year of cultiva tion. farmers wives—urge your ‘‘most obedS ents” to ,“fi? up,” and “put out,’’ this fall, at least one half acre of ground to the cultivation of small fruits for family comforts.

The position of such a plot of ground, is a matter of considerable consequence. Probably the best aspect, is a southern inclination ; nest to this, a southwe-tern. or southeastern, apd poorest of all, a northern. It should of course be nigh the rear of the house, so as to he easy of access from the kitchen, and as an old agricul tural writer says, “not ftr away, lest being too much out tif sight, it should be out of mind and the necessary culture too much neglected.” The shape of such a garden is not a matter of great importance, though the‘ncarei) it ap proaches a square or-p.vralelogram, tliO hotter. The internal arrangement is of more cense- quence, but more of this hereafter. It should be well fenced, in order to Shelter it from the bold-northwest winds, and for such a purpo'e, nothing is better than a close, high, substa dial hoard fonce. Some writers prefer a wall, hut one serious objection I have; against them, is that it makes a great harbor for mice, whoso depredations under the cover of isninv in winter, is immensely damaging to small fruits.

The point is conceded, by me, that in those perilous days, when our country is in the fear ful throes of a revolution the partisan should be merged in the patriot, and all should strike hands in the cause of our common country. No one would have rejoiced morchoartilv, than myself, had all parties of the North forthed one common party for a common p.nrpose ; that is, to a vigorous prosecution: of the war, and the preservation of this Republic in its integrity. But facts, which have been recently developed clearly show that two parties will be before the people at the coming olio tion, and at whose door will fall the blame of the coming partv strife ? Let the facts go before tl e people, that the Re publicans of Ohio, a Republican State, gen-- erou-ly propi sed to TVinocraev. to uni'e with them and form a “ Union ticket” compposed of both Democrats’ and Republican's. The offer WMs-’r-ated with the u m 'St coaterapt. Instead of accepting the offer, the Democratic party hold a seperate convention and nonpnaited an entire sot of officers.“Tt- is-not necessary for me, at this time to comment upon the charac ter of (heir resolutions. I.i New York, the. Republicans off r-d to unite with Democracy, form hut one common ticket to he supported by both parties, and elected. The offer was refused and the [Demo crats have issued a call for a “ Democratic” State Convention, for the nomination of! a full set of officers. And in this State, in iDemo cratic counties so far as they have nominated, they have nominated straight Democratic tick ets. In Elk and Monroe, which jd.iiin to be democratic, they have refused to unite with the Republicans, and insist upon running sepa rate tickets. , . in no place have they any taste fi"ra,“!Unioh ticket,” save in the strongest kind of Republi can districts.

Perhaps no more pleasant site for such an institution of learning cpujd have, been found in Pennsylvania, than the-one selected on an em inece some CO rods from the main street of the village of Mansfield, Tioga county, Pa. Per haps most of the readers of the Advocate re tue’uiLpr the . sad intelligence which, a few years since; spread,through this portion of our Zion, “The new Seminary at Mansfield has been burned to the ground during the second tetm of .school after its completion." I was surprised to learn that tie effort to build a first class Seminary atfjßlansfield, had been a com-’ jilete success in every respect, But I was still more, surprised to learn, after 'the burning of i the first' building, that the same enterprising spirit had projected the erection of another. building, much more spacious than the former one. Well knowing that planning and execu ting are very different things, I, wifi many oth -ers, feared that the second attempt would prove a sad failure. The friends of the Institution have toiled on, amid many reverses and, much discouragement, until the spacious, edifice is well nigVootnpleted. The building is a brick structure, 150 feet long, and four stories high. Last autnmn, it was dpubted whether- a school could or would be sustained. Professor E.' Wildinan resolved to try to sustain a school, and having secured a corps of competent teach , ers, his efforts have been crowned with complete success. i was.present on 'Friday, June 28th, at the anniversary exercises, and can say unqualifiedly as a whole they surpassed anything of the kind which I have ever, witnessed in a school of the grade of this. .X understand 'that the examin ations and all of the other exercises were equal ly creditable ,to the Faculty.,. But of these I cannot speak from petsonab observation. The many tears shed by students at the parting with their -teachers, spoke p'f theh Strpng love for them. While all who spoke «r read at,the an niversary exercises did well, there were seve ral,, and especially several of the young ladies, who did very well. Were it hot for fear of ex citing a spirit of Vanity, or appealing to be in vidious, I should delight to name some of the ordinal productions and their authors! But I forbear. I must not failto-mentmn Miss 'A. E. Chase, Teacher of Music in the Seminary. She and her pupils gave the clearest evidence that she is a first class Music Teacher. The vote of thanks tendered her and her "Glee Club,” by the audience, at the close of the .exercises, was a compliment well Among the many pieces they sang were “The Star Spanr glad Banner,” “Hail Columbia,”,and “Dixie for the Union,’.*which were sung in a style that would inspire the foyal,’ Union loiing patriot I with a zeal*to daro and ; die for his country’s rights.-- . - ; The Fall Term of the school will commence September 3,, 1861, and continue thirteen (weeks. i The Trustees nre in need offundswithwhioh to complete the building and meet their liabiij tie&. As the people of Mansfield and infinity' hare borne such heavy burdens, material aid should and must come from abroad, or lljecausd of education and .-Methodism will sustain an irreparable loss, 1 wish every member of the M. E. Church in Troy District fully understood the intimate connection existing between fhe flsn fi :ld C'assical Seminary and both the hon or and pn sperity of the M. ,E. Church in Nor thern Pennsylvania; I have no doubt hut there is • rjmple ability in this District to relieve and sus tain this Institution, Brethren icr the ministry n|nd laity, shall it be done? Or sßall 18,000 dollars worth of property be sacrificed, and a first class Seminary, which is located .in right place, fail ? lam sure the answer oormos be doubtful. .. , E. H. Oeanheb. - . Mansfield, July 9, 1861. , ' Ax Incident.—As four of our 17th regimenf volunteers, dusty and careworn, were passing through a place nobfar distant, they were hailed by a lady who asked “where they wereJ;oiiig ?” The reply was "home." was. the nest question. “Walk as far we can, then ride." “Will fifty cents carry you. home V’ “'Yes n a’am." “Then wait a moment," and darting ii to the house the good woman returned with a two dollar bill. “Divide .tlia't and ride—’tio all have.”. This shows - the spirit.of the wa tt en, and also,the general spirit of the North, which is ready to sacrifice life, property—all, in this great struggle.— NeviburypoH Herald.
