Sagrso.—The great Philadelphia skater, Pe
ter Weaver, is now sojourning in our city. Yes
terday afternoon he was at the canal basin
testing his activity and skill on its crystal sur
face, in presence of a large crowd of admiring
spectators. Mr. Weayeris "some" on skates.

OFFICIAL VISIT.—Hon. Thomas H. Burrows,
Superintendent of the Common Schools of the
Commonwealth, with four Commissioners ap
pointed by the Governor, will visit the Normal
School at Edinboro, Erie county, on the 23d
inst., for the purpose of making the necessary
Inspection preparatory to its recognition by the
State authorities.
Tao IXArGUBATION BALL of the Hope Fire
Company comes off on Monday evening in
Brant's spacious hall, which has been elegantly
decorated for the occasion. Strangers in the
city who designattending should procure tickets
at once, as they are in great demand. The
'Evers" are determined to make this the most
brilliant party of the season, and they seldom
fail to accomplish whatever they undertake.
RECEFEON OF 'Jarmo MuirAuv.—The mem
bers of the Cameron Guard are ordered to meet
at their armory on Monday at twelve o'clock,
fully equipped, for the purpose of receiving
visiting companies. It is understood that at
least three companies from abroad will arrive
by the trains reaching here about one o'clock.
Others are expected to arrive by the evening
trains. It is probable there will be eight or
ten companies in attendance, most of them
accompanied by equipped bands of music.
WEER or PRAYBIL—The closing services .of
the "week of prayer" will take place this even
ing in the New School Presbyterian Church,
corner of Market Square. Subject—" The speedy
overthrow of all false religions, and the full
accomplishment of the prayer, 'Thy Kingdom
come." These meetings commenced on Mon
day evening last, and have been continued
nightly throughout the week, no doubt with
great profit to all who participated in them, and
benefit to the cause of religion.
L'IYANTICIDE.—On Wednesday last a child, ap
parently three or four days old, was found in
the lot in the rear of the Lutheran church, at
Altoona, with its throat cut from ear to ear.
An inquest was held upon the body, and a ver
dict of "murder by some person unknown to
the jury," was rendered. A colored girl, who
has been living at the Altoona House, was sus
peected of being the mother of the child and
its murderer. She was forthwith arrested, when
she confessed the crime. She was committed
to jail to await a trial.
ANCYTIIV.R ROBBERY.—On Thursday night a
sleigh and sett of harness were stolen from the
stable of H. W. Hoffman, Esq., residing about
two miles west of this city in Susquehanna
township. It is supposed they were taken by
the same fellow who stole Mr. Hoke's horse, an
account of which we published yesterday. The
Chief of Police last evening telegraphed to offi
ten of neighboring towns, giving a description
of the stolen articles, and we trust the thief
will be captured.
After writing the above we learned of the ar
rest, at Elizabethtown, of a man answering to
the name of Samuel Washington Minney, with
the horse and sleigh in his possession. He was
brought to this city at ten o'clock last night
and lodged in prison. This morning he had a
hearing before the Mayor, who committed him
for trial. The man is evidently insane ; and
from his incoherent raving while under exami
nation we judge that he has been an inmate of
the State Lunatic Hospital. He says he stole
the horse and sleigh with the intention of pro
ceeding to Washington, having been ordered by
President Buchanan to report himself there
without delay. The man is a much fitter sub
ject for a lunatic asylum than a prison.
lisgroga of WORKINGMEN. —We hear rumors
to the effect that the mechanics and working
men of Harrisburg intend holding a Union
meeting shortly. We have a suggestion to
make in connection with this contemplated
demonstration .° Let the workingmen keep
aloof from all entangling alliances with politi
cal leaders. Let them do their own talking,
frame their own resolutions, and prepare their
own business in their own way. They have
the ability to do this, and do it well ; but if
designing and dishonest politicians get the lead,
the diffidence of the workingmen will prevent
them from giving full scope to their views and
feelings. This hint, however, may not be ne
cessary ; and we feel satisfied that if the meet
ing takes place it will reflect credit upon the
ability and patriotism of the mechanics of the
Capital City. No persons in community are
more affected, in business operations, by the
present condition of affairs, then the industrial
classes. It is therefore proper for them to
speak out promptly and emphatically, We
second the motion for a mass meeting at once.
BEFORE THE MAI-cm—Four dilapidated vic
tims of tanglefoot were before the Mayor this
morning, having been picked up on the streets
in a drunken condition, by the Chief of Police.
The Mayor reprimanded and ordered them to
leave the city.
RESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT.-Our friend
'Hr. Wm. H. Egle, recently appointed to a
clerkship in the Post Office, finding the duties
so laborious as to interfeie greatly with his pro
fessional practice, resigned the position a day
or two ago. The vacancy thus created was
filled by the appointment of a young man
named Whitman, of Halifax, brother of the
former clerk of that name.
ARREST FOR MURDER. —This forenoon a man
named John Trump, of Fishing Creek Valley,
was brought to this city on a charge of having,
about four years ago, caused the death, by
strangulation, of the wife of his brother Samu
el, Mrs. Sarah Trump. The information was
made by another brother named George Trump,
upon whose oath the defendant was committed
to prison by Alderman Peffer for trial at the
next Court. It appears that family difficulties
and altercations led to the exposure of the crime
with which the prisoner stands charged; and
circumstances, recently developed, are strongly
against him.

PASSAGE or TROOPS.—The troops froth Fort
Leavenworth arrived here about nine o'clock
this morning over the Pennsylvania Railway.
The force comprised two hundred and thirty-two
equipped men and one hundred and twenty-seven
horses, filling twenty-two cars. The party re
mained here about half an hour, and were pro
vided with refreshments in the depot dining
saloon. Their arrival attracted an immense
crowd of people, who were anxious to get a
sight of so large a force of Uncle Sam's soldiers.
The troops left at half-past nine o'clock, on the
Northern Central Railway for Baltimore, under
command of Colonel Brown, who had been dis
patched here for that purpose by the War De
partment. A portion of them go to Fort
McHenry, and the balance to Washington city.
We have seldom seen a finer looking body of
soldiery. Col. Brown, in conversation with
some of our citizens, very freely expressed his
opinion of the.. runaway-secretary Floyd, who
has long been engaged in supplying the South
with arms and sacking the Southern forts and
arsenals, with a view to the present treasona
ble movements, and denounced him as an arch
traitor who richly deserves to be hung. The
Colonel is an intelligent and courteous
gentleman, an experienced and brave officer,
who "keeps step to the music of the Union,"
and can be relied upon in any emergency.

A " LAGER PEER" DENOMINATIOX. — In a re
cent prosecution in New York city against the
keeper of a lager beer saloon which has been
crowded every Sunday by pleasure loving Ger
mans, the proprietor set up a novel defence. He
claimed that his saloon . was .a meeting house
for the " German Shaker Association," and that
dramatic representations and thinking formed a
part of their social 'worship. The court set
aside this line of defence very summarily, and
the ingenious proprietor suffered theitill sever
ity of the law. Our readers may be curious to
know the " creed" of this new denomination,
of which the theater and lager beer form so im
portant a part. Here it is :
Constitution of the Religious Sect called the " Ger
man Shaker Association."—The undersigned here
by form a Society for the passing of a day of
the week called Sunday, in a manner worthy of
cultivated and thinking men, to rest from the
labor of the preceding days, and to gather
strength for the following. They meet togeth
er to keep Sunday religiously with their fami
lies, to listen to useful and serious addresses of
serious persons, and of several speaking togeth
er to represent occurrences from actual life,
founded on morality, to counsel good and al
ways to practice good, to avoid evil, and with
our might and strength keep every one from
evil, so to act toward our fellow-men as we wish
to be treated by them, according to the words'
in the Bible : "Love thy neighbor as thyself."
We believe in the immortality of the soul im
planted in us by the goddess Nature. We be
lieve in the sacred beings who, by the strength
of their souls, have guided thousands to paths
of morality and virtue. We believe that the
goddess Nature, Morality and Humanity, form
a trinity, before which we bow down. We bat
tle and work for this our religion by moral rep
resentations. By delineations of the shady
sides of human life, we strive to elevate men
to become noble citizens of the universe. We
declare these our Sunday acts to be our religious
mode of worship.
WIDE-AWAILES AND run INAUGURATION.—We
have already announced the action of the joint
committee of arrangements for the inaugura
tion, by which political clubs, as such, are to
be excluded from the parade on that occasion.
Some of our Republican friends in the House
took exception to this action of the committee,
and yesterday Mr. HUHN, of Schuylkill, offered
a resolution extending to "all citizens, societies
and organizations of citizens, of this Common
wealth," an invitation "to participate in the in
auguration ceremonies." This resolution was
earnestly and ably advocated by the mover, Mr.
HUELN, Mr. PATTERSON of Juniata, Mr. GOR
DON of Jefferson, and Mr. WILLLuts of Alle
gheny. All of these gentlemen eloquently de
fended the Wide-Awakes, alluded in glowing
terms to their gallant and effective services
during the late campaigns, and denounced any
arrangement intended to exclude them from
participation, as a political organization, in the
inauguration of the man who is mainly indebt
ed to them for his elevation to the Chief Ma
gistracy of this Commonwealth. The Republi
can torch-bearers throughout the State are un
der obligations to the above named gentlemen
and will hold them in grateful remembrance.
The resolution was zealously opposed by Mr.
lawnr of Cumberland, (Chairman of the House
Committee of Arrangements,) Mr. Sznrzsit of
Philadelphia, Mr. Bumr.a. of Crawford, and Mr.
WILSON of Beaver. After a lengthy and exciting
debate the resolution was postponed for the
present by a vote of forty-seven to forty-four.
The full debite, and the yeas and nays on the
motion to postpone, maybe found on our second
page. The proceedings will be read with inter
est by our Wide-Awake brethren everywhere,
and the record carefully preserved.

THAT SERENADE TO THE GOVERNOR. —The Wide-
Awake Club of this city had made arrangements
to turn out in full equipments, with lighted
torches, and a band of music, to-night, on the
arrival of the Governor elect, and honor him
with a welcome serenade. The course, however,
of the Committee of. Arrangements for the In
auguration, induced our Wide-Awake brethren
to rescind their action, and the contemplated
parade and serenade will not come off. They
fear that such a demonstration, by a "political
organization," might, in the eloquent and clas
sic language of a gentleman of the House of
Representatives, "be unsuitable to the occasion,
tending to make it a burlesque and a disgraceful
scene I" The Wide-Awakes, therefore, having
no desire either to "compromise" the Governor
elect, or to increase the "weakness of knees"
exhibited by certain Republieu i' who owe all
they are politically to the organization, recon
sidered their action, as above stated, and will
preserve their coal oil for a demonstration on
some future and more appropriate occasion.
OLUL COAL REOIONS. — We glean from the
Lyken.stown Journal some items of interest rela
tive to our coal regions. The productions of
coal from the Lykens Valley region, during the
past year, was about thirty-nine thousand tons
more than that of the preceding year, the en
tire production of 1859 being one hundred and
thirty-eight thousand seven hundred and twelve
tons, and that of 1860 nearly one hundred and
seventy-eight thousand. The bulk of the in
crease is from the colliery worked by Henry
Thomas, Esq., on the Short Mountain compa
ny's property. We anticipate next year, the
production of more than two hundred thousand
tons. The Shamokin region has produced two
hundred thousand four hundred and thirty
eight tons, being an increase of nearly thirty
thousand tons over the production of 1850.
The Trevorton company has not sent to market
as much coal as in 1859, by about thirty-four
thousand tons. We learn that this decrease
has been owing to arrangements'for a reorgani
zation of the company, but little coal having
been taken out beyond what was lying, ready
cut, in the mines. The reorganization, we learn,
will shortly be completed, when operations will
be commenced on a large scale and its pro
duction largely increased. The entire pro
duction of the three regions is nearly four hun
dred and eighty thousand tons, being an in
crease, as compared with 1859, of about thirty
thousand tons.
Six THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH of new goods

The Star of the West at New York
Reports from Charleston Confirmed—Two
of the Shots Fired took Effect•
Several Parting Shots Fired at Her
When Leaving Charleston Harbor.
Preparations to Return and Effect a
Landing at all Hazards !
The steamship Star of the West arrived here,
during the night, on her return from the unsuc
cessful attempt to reinforce Fort Sumpter. The
troops returned on board of her.
The Star of the West brings back the troops
destined for the relief of Fort Sumpter. The
report from Charleston was correct in relation
to two of the balls fired at her taking effect.
One struck her on the bow, and the second on
the starboard quarter, between the smoke-stack
and; the engine-beam. No person was hurt.
She struck on the bar twice in coming out. At
night, steamers were seen coming out of the
harbor, supposed to be in pursuit. The same
night she spoke the ship Emily St. Pierre, from
Liverpool to Charleston, and refused admittance
in consequence of the merican flag being dis
played. When leaving Charleston Harbor, the
Star of the West received several parting shots
from the battery on Morris Island, and they all
fell short. The general feeling on board now
is to return to Charleston, with proper means
of defence, and effect a landing at all hazards.
Secession Demonstration at Richmond
RICHMOND, January 12.
At the banquet last night, Mr. From, in his
speech, related a conversation with the Presi
dent, showing a breach of faith on the part of
the latter, as leading to his resignation. He
counselled resistance to federal coercion. Se
cession speeches were also delivered by Lieuten
ant General Montague, Attorney General Tuck
er, James A. Siddon and others. The tempo
rizing policy of the State Legislature was se
verely commented on. Great enthusiasm was
manifested.
The secession of the State was celebrated last
night by the firing of a salute of a hundred
guns, the illumination of the prominent build
ings, and a parade of the military. One hun
dred thousand dollars have been subscribed for
the defence of Mobile.
The Hon. Mr. Dix will not enter upon the du
ties of his post as Secretary of the Treasury un

The New Secretary of the Treasury:
WASIMIGTON, Jan. 12
Speech of Senator Seward
STATE OP THE UNION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12
Senator SEWARD delivered his speech in the
Senate to-day on the state of the Union. The
galleries were crowded to overflowing, and the
distinguished gentleman was listened to with
the utmost interest and attention by Senators
and spectators. -
He commences his speech by avowing his
adherence to the Union in its integrity ; with
his party, his country, his State, or without
either as they may determine ; in every event,
whether of peace or war ; with every conse
quence, whether of honor or dishonor, life or
death. After rehearsing what courses will not
save the Union, he desires a truce, at least, du
ring the debate on the Union. It cannot be
saved by proving secession illegal or unconsti
tutional ; nor can anything be gained by dis
cussing the right of the Federal Government to
coerce States. If disunion is to go on, this
question will, give place to the more practical
one, whether the many seceding States shall
coerce the remaining members to acquiesce in a
dissolution. He argues against the folly of sep
aration' its effect upon the standing of the
United States among the nations of the world,
the difficulties a new Southern Confederacy
would encounter in forming treaties, and liable
at any time to become the prey of stronger
powers. In summing up his arguments, he
states :
Tinily—That while prudence and justice would
combine in persuading you to modify the acts
of Congress so as not to compel private persons
to assist in the execution of the Fugitive Slave
law, and to prevent freemen from being, by
abuse of the law, carried into slavery, I agree
that all State laws controveuing the Constitu
tion or any law of Congress, ought to be re
pealed.
Secondly--Domestic slavery existing in any
State is wisely left by. the Constitution exclu
sively to the care, management and disposition
of that State. I would not alter the Constitu
tion in that respect, if in my power. lam wil
ling to vote for an amendment of the Constitu
tion declaring that it shall not, by any future
amendment, be so altered as to confer on Con
gress a power to abolish or interfere with slavery
in any State.
Thirdly—While I think Congress has exclu
sive authority to legislate for the Territories,
and while I certainly shall never directly or in
directly give my vote to establish, or sanction
slavery in the territories, yet the question with
regard to what constitutional laws shall be
passed in regard to the Territories, is to be
determined onpractical ground. If Kansas were
admitted Under the Wyandotte Constitution, I
could vote to organize the organization and ad
mission of the remaining States, reserving the
right to effect subdivisions of them whenever
necessary into several convenient States, if such
reservation could be constitutionally made ;
but if the measure were practicable, I should
prefer a different course, namely : that when
the eccentric movements of secession and dis
union shall have ended, and the angry excite
ments of the hour subsided then, say, one two
or three years hence, I yould cheerfully advise
a convention of the peope to decide whether
any and what amendments of the organic na
tional law shall be made.
Fourth—l am ready now, as heretofore, to
vote for laws to prevent mutual invasions of
Fifth—l. remain constant in favor of two Pa
cific Railways—one to connect the ports around
the mouths of the Mississippi, and the other
the towns on the Missnuri and the Lakes with
the harbors on our western coast. He conclu
ded with the expression of an unshaken faith
in the Constitution and the 'Union. He feels
sure that the hour-has not come for this nation
to fall.- ___lt§ , Teonle are not perverse or wicked
enough to deserve so dread= and s - c - frbre - 76, -
punishment, as dissolution. This Union has
not yet accomplished what good for mankind
was manifestly designed by Rim who appoints
the seasons, and prescribes the duties of States
and empires. No, sir; if cast down to-day by
faction, it would rise again and re-appear in all
its majestic proportions to-morrow. Woe!
woe ! to the man that meanly lifts his hand
against it. It shall continue lind endure, and
men in after times shall declare that this gene
ration which saved the Union from such sudden
and unlooked for damagis surpassed in mag
nanimity even that one which laid its founda
tions in the eternal principles of liberty, justice
and humanity.

SENATE.—After prayer, Mr. CAKERON asked
whether a vote could be taken on a motion
to allow persons to:the floor of the Senate.
Mr. Tomes (Ga.) made in objection to "a vote.
The Pruoronrr decided that the rule might
be dispensed With by unanimous consent. There
being no Objection, the Diplomatic Corps were
accommodated with seats. At least a thousand
ladies, and more than that number of gentle
men occupied the galleries, which were so
crovded that-no more could enter.
A motion to fill a vacancy in the Board of
Regents of the Smithsonian Institute was laid
aside. .
Mr. Gwm (Cal.) moved that the Senate pro
ceed to the special order, the consideration of
the President's message.
Mr. &wean took the floor at 12.38, and pro
ceeded to the delivery of his speech.
HOUSE.—Mr. CLARK, (Mo.) said that after
reading the telegraphic accounts that the Post-
Office Sub-treasury and Custom Househad been
taken possession of by the U. S. troops, he de
sired to explain for fear the account might lead
the people to presume that these offices were
located in the same building. As to what con
dition of things at St. Louis could justify such
an act, he knew not. The people there, so far,
have been quiet and loyal to the Union: The
legislature of Miisouri is now in iession, and
will consider what measures may be necessary
for the perpetuation of the Union. She makes
no threats, while she is determined to take
such steps as her honor and safety require; and
this she will do in her own way and in her own
time.
Mr. Fmrlort (N. Y.) and others on the Repub
lican side objected to further - remarks.
Mr. Crams asked leave to offer a resolution,
calling on the Secretary of War to communicate
whether the Post Office, Sub -Treasury and Cus
tom House, situated in St. Louis, have been
taken possession of by United States troops ; if
so,'-by whose orders, and whether there has been
any attempt by the State or municipal author
ities to improperly interfere with the said bunk
Tugs, or whether the public property was threat
ened. He said he did not believe the report.
He was again called to order from the Republi
can side. Objection was made to the reception
of the resolution.
Mr. CLARK asked whether he could move a
suspension of the rules.
The SPEAKER replied that it could be done only
on Monday.
Mr. CLARK hoped the majority of the House
would not continue to object to the resolution
and countenance a military despotism.
The SPEAKER said that objection having been
made, the resolution could not be entertained.
The SPEAKER laid before the House a letter
signed by the Mississippi delegation, stating
that they had received official information that
the State has passed an ordinance, through a
convention representing the sovereignty of the
people, by which the State has withdrawn from
the Federal Government all the powers here
tofore delegated to it, and that they thought it
to be their duty to lay the fact before the House,
and withdraw themselves from the further de
liberations of that body. While they regret the
necessity for this action of their State, they ap
probate it and will return to her bosom to share
her fortunes through all phases.
Mr. Joass (Ga.) moved that the names of the
South Carolina and Mississippi members be
stricken from the roll, and shall not hereafter
be called by the Clerk.
Mr. ELY (N. Y.) objected.
Mr. Pcrrr (Ind.) demanded the yeas and nays
on the motion.
Mr. Ibiltwnrr (Ky.) submitted that as these
gentlemen have withdrawn it certainly cannot
be assumed that they are now members of the
House.
Mr. Semes., N. Y. Do yon consider that
they have resigned their seats ?
Mr. Buns Err. I do and not only this, but
that they are out of the Union by the act of
their respective States.
Mr. litxonam, Ohio. The remarks of the
gentlemen from Kentucky are not in order.
The SPEAKER ruled that the motion being ob
jected to, it could not be considered..

TOOMBS A11:1 GENERAL
At a private dinner party, yesterday, high
words passed between Senator Toombs and
Lieutenant General Scott. According to the
relations of the scene in Cbrigressionol
the conversation turned on the sending . of
troops to Charleston, when Mr. Toombs expres
sed a hope that the people there .would sink
the Star of the West. General Scott, with
much earnestness, asked if it was possible that
he (Toombs) as an American, desired .such an
event. Mr. Toombs replied affirmativer?, - and
that those who sent the vessel there should be:itink with
her. General Scott thereupon said he was re
sponsible for what he said, and Mr. Toombs re
marked, " You have known me for twenty
five years, and are aware that I, too, am respon
sible." The matter here ended, but the sub
ject, it is said, is now in the hands of the
friends of the parties.
CONFER:RATION OF GENERAL DIX
General Dix, of New York, was, as stated
yesterday; tendered the position of Secretary of
War, but preferring that of the Treasury, the
President, to-day, sent his nomination to the
Senate.for this office, - Mr. Thomas having re
signed. The rule.requiring a reference of nom
inatious to the appropriate committee is always
courteously suspended When the nominee is an
ex-Senator, as is General Dix, on the ground
that his Character and qualifications are suffi
ciently known without a special investigation.
The rule on this occasion was unanimously sus
pended, and the appointment. of General Dix
immediately confirmed.
