el)c tlegistcr.: AllentolVitcPa. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER f 5, 1841 Circiilation near 2000. V. B. PALMER, Esq., N. W. corner of Third and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and 169 Nas sau street, ,(Tribune Buildings,) New York, is our authorized Agent for receiving advertise ments and subscriptions to the Lehigh Register and collecting and receipting for the same. The War of' 1812 We observe by an article in one of our ex change papers, that the officers who served during the war with England in 1812, design applying - to - Congress' at the next- session __for bounty and extra pay. The remark is made that these rewards have been "awarded to those of our fellow-citizens who volunteered in that .war, and joined their countrymen in the struggle, who had previously emigrated to Canada—to better their condition, perhaps. They received by act of Congress, approved sth March, 1816, a bounty in land equal to ther relative rank, with three months' extra pay. Most assuredly, then, those of our cid'. zend who remained in their country and man fully pressed forward to the field of strife, paid their taxes for the support of government at a time when her finances were at a low ebb, and jeoparded their private affairs, should not go, as many of them have, to their graves un requitted. It is known that the officers in the war with Mexico, in addition to their regular pay, received three months' extra pay, and the soldiers their bounty in land, as well as three month's extra pay. It may be noted that a number of the officers who volunteered in the war of 1812, joined their countrymen in the war with Mexico, and received three months' extra pay. Why, then, should not their copa triote of 1812 fare alike with them'!" County Administration Mr. Same/ Knauss, the new County Com missioner, entered upon the duties of office ott Monday last, in place of Pder Breinig, whose term had expired. Mr. Breinig has been an able and efficient member of the Board, and goes out of office with the good wishes of po litical friends and opponents. Mr. Knauss will no doubt prove himself equally worthy of the trust reposed in him by his felloW citizens. The Board at present consists of Messrs. John Lie/LimnEster, of Upper Macungy, Ben jamin Breinig, of North Whitehall, and S a n•ucl Knauss, of Hanover. • At their first meeting the Board re-appoint ed their present gentlemanly and efficient clerk, under whose care and attention the Office has undergone many invaluable improvements, and we hazard nothing in saying that no Coun ty Administration in Pennsylvania, dispatches business more correctly, the records of which are kept more neatly titan that of our Lehigh. Generally speaking, Lehigh county has been very fortunate in the selection of their public officers, a thing much to be looked upon by the people. Lehigh Fenoibles. This now company will make their first parade on. Monday next, in lull uniform. We learn that it numbers between forty and fifty members. Their dress ie the adopted unifobli of United States Artillery. We have no-donbt ^ the Company will make a very imposing ap pearance, and as to their tactics', cannot help to be anything but first-rate, having been for some time under the instructions of their effi cient Captain Hiram B. Yaeger, an old "Mex ican Sapper." State Convention The friends of Common School Education in Lancaster ciry, have in pursuance of a reso lution passed by a meeting of the Pennsylvania Delegation to the National School Convention ; lately held in Philadelphia; to hold a State Convention at Harrisburg on the 16th day of January next, called a general County meeting of the friends of Education, for the purpose of appointing Delegates to said Convention. Cir What say the friends of Education in Le high to a similar meeting, and when shall it be held? We pause for an answer. Hon. William Strong A correspondent of the Reading Gazette, warmly recommends this gentleman for_ the Spoakership of the House of Representatives in the next Congress. We cordially endorse the recommendation. Mr. Strong's qualifications for the office are unquestionable; and his ele vation to the Speaker's Chair, would be a mer• HO compliment to the staunch Democratic .District of "Old Berks." Sartain's Union Magazine The November number of Sartain's Union -Magazine has come to hand, and exceeds in , brilliancy of embellishment and literary worth, everything in the Magazine" eflort heretofore attempted.

The Folly of Pretence. It is amusing to listen to some persons, when describing their own merits, qualifica tions, families end pecuniary 'circumstances They either deceive themselves, or they make most absurd efforts to deceive others, as to the real position they occupy in the world, They may be :amiable and friendly enough, gene rally speaking, but they desire to appear better and more important than they really are, and in attempting to accomplish this object of van ity, selfishness or pride, they assume to them selves faculties, qualifications and advantages utterly at variance with the fuels, and calcula ted only to excite a smile. •They pretend to a condition of affairs that has no existence. They boast of their wealth, their associates, their, family connexions and influeace, and in so do ing they utter much extravagance, much exag geration—ay, and to speak plainly much false hood. Few, very few are misled by this poli cy, while with a majority it only produces a - feeling of contempt.- The true course, the hon est, the high-minded, is to aim at the lofty qualities of integrity, truth, reputability andun sullied character, and not to forget the reality by wearing a mask, or assuming a position which is not really enjoyed. How frequently, too, do we see individuals bow before money, by eulogizing wealthy friends and relatives, as if an intimacy or a connexion with such per sons constituted a matter of the least import ance. If merit formed the test, if courtesy, grace, benevolence and education—and these allied with humility, were alluded to as objects of admiration and ambition, the philosophy would indeed be commendable. But when all these are sacrificed for money—when a dis honest man with an income of $5OOO a year is spoken of as little inferior to a demigod, while an intelligent, a virtuous, but a poor roan, is avoided—and when 'this course of policy is regarded by those practising it, as calculated to elevate them in the eyes of the world—the fol ly and the guilt of such miserable pretence are indeed palpable.' There is another error of a kindred character in social life, which is by no means rare. It is the disposition even among neighbors, not to appear better than they are in a moral sense, but wealthier—not to aim at worth and virtue, but consequence and import ance, through the assumed or pretended pos session of money. If such really were as rich as they pretend to be, the mistake would still be a serious one; but being poor comparative ly, and yet assuming to be otherwise, the folly of such conduct is most absurd. We very of ten, too, find people who boast of some remote connexion, as if such a fact, supposing it to be a fact, were calculated to elevate them in point of merit and impoilance. They forget that it is the duty of all, not to deteriorate in position and respectability, not to depend upon others for consequence and reputation—but so to think and to act, as to render all such influence un necessary. And when too, as it often happens, these very connections are of no moment whatever, the character must be frail and fee ble, that is compelled to lean upon them for support. But there are pretenders every where in all ranks and conditions of life. The self deceived may be found in every circle of soci ety. They fancy that the world is blind and they alone can see. They are misled by pas sion, by prejudice, by vanity, by self-interest, or by some other quality of the kind, and thus, mistaken themselves, they are deluded with , the notion that otherscannot penetrate the thin veil with which they attempt Ito disguise:their motives. Far better to think and act honestly, in a spirit of truth, manliness and independ ence, for then we shall have no occasion for the hollow,and shallow trickery of pretension, no reason to seem other than we are—no cause to overpraise our associates, to exaggerate our influenUe, or administer, by means of misrep resentation and falsehood, to our vanity and self-importance. The Plough, Loom and Anvil The November number of this truly popular Journal has come to hand, and deserves en couragement from every Farmer and Mechan ic iu the country. Mr. Skinner has been la boring ht tho cause of Agriculture all his life time, and to him more than any man in the country are we indebted for the proper appre ciation by the community at large, of Agricul tural Pursuits. His aim in the present publica tion is to fully develope trio "American Sys tetn," and to elevate agriculture and the me chanic arts to their proper sphere, and to en courage manufactures and artisans, thereby creating a "home market" for the producers, and benefitling all classes. Death of a Stranger About two weeks ugo a'young woman came to this town in the Philadelphia Cars, and stop ped at the Exchange Hotel, where she gave her flame as Ellen Crook, and said she was from Allentown, but subsequently told some one she was from Reading. After remaining . at the Hotel about a week, she went to the house of a negro woman on 'Guinea Hill,' and there about a week since gave birth to an kw ; fant. Both mother and- child were seized tiff Small Pox, and flied, the first on Sunday last, and the latter on Tuesdaynight.—Pollscillc Em porium, November 8. • Southern Progress Various gratifying evidences have lafely been given that the southern portion of our country has entered into:manufactures. Geor gia already has her 45 cotton factories, South Carolina her 45, Virginia '9O, North Carolina 35, and Alabama 20. The south has also en tered into the railroad system. These events soom of much national importance. They secure the advance in wealth and the prosper ity of the south, and begot a common interest, equalising both sections of the Union, so as eventually to do away with all prejudice and jealousy. The Ballot Box Thousands of articles have been written on • the importance:of preserving to every man the glorious privilege of exercising PPIla own tree will, as to whom he shall vote for when he comes to deposits his vote. The excessive electioneering on the election ground, the "watching of windows," the watching "how men vote," with a view to coerce them into a certain way of voting, all sounds hard, looks bad, and is repugnant to all the better feelings of intelligent men. What think you of this picture, all of which is matter of fact, given to us by a creditable witness, and which was perfected at an election district in Mont 'gereery - county? It Seems a certain voter ;(tbese are just instances of the too general way of dobig business) wished to vote for a friend his'of opposite politics. Ile offered his vole, which was distributed on the ballot box, when some tyrant gathered it up again, on discover 7 ing it was not all "simon pure," in his opin ion, handed it back to the voter, when a "lead er" walks up to•him i takes the-objectionable; ticket, tears it up, gives him another that he wishes voted, and tells him to hand Ovit in, which of course could not be refused, when reline_ genius demanded it. Two other voters who wished to vote a similar was' to the above, were watched at the windows by an "officiating lordship," their votes examined by him, the objectionable one selected therefrnm, torn up, and the one he wished voted.placed instead—and the voters told to vote that way. It of course had to be done. We refer to this state of things, with the hope that it may have the effect of waking up the indifferent to a just sense of their rights, and that the ballot box may not be a tool in the hands of a few men, as is too often the case. blow is the vain boast of intelligence and freedom rendered a nullity by procglings like this? There are scores of districts to be found, where this ex ample is carried out, at almost every election May another spirit soon dawn open such phi nes and tree the people from thraldom. It is a disgrace to our county. All reasonable persuasions on the election ground, to bias votes, may be well enough, though there is too Much necessity for that to speak well for the intelligence of the people, but when it comes to actual coercion', it be comes a penal offence, and every one guilty of exercising undue influences, no matter if high in the "leadership" of the people, should suf fer the penalties of violated law. There is a mighty work yet to be performed, before our elections can be truly what they are represent ed to be, the eonscientous and free expression of the will of the people.—Montgotacry Ledger. Nile's National Register. This popular Journal, published in Philadel phia, containing a-muss of useful and highly important statistical and other information, is one of the most valuable publications of the day. It is printed in quarto newspaper form, and at the end of the year forms a volume which is really indispensible to the statesman. the lawyer, the merchant and the well inform ed gentleman. Bank Failures The St. Louis Republican, of the 28th ult., says that, from information furnished, it is.sup posed that abouts•:.so,ooo of the paper curren cy of the Susquehanna County Bank, is in cir culation in that quarter—and it "is said tolave been mostly from houses in Cincinnati." The Cincinnati Gazette, of Saturday, adds: "Rumor says, that about Toledo, Lafayette ; and that region of country, considerable amounts have been put afloat. "There have, evidently, been fraudulent agencies at work, and the guilty, whether here or elsewhere, are sure to be known and marked." With such facts as these coming to light, people certainly should not be expeated to put implicit confidence in concerns whose sudden And rapid extension of circulation in distant quarters is somewhat analogous.—ridc Corn inercial Bank of New Jersey. 'Thompson, of the Now York Bank Note Re porter, thinks the Bank of Susquehanna Coun ty and the State Bank at Morris, are. bad fail ures and clear swindles. Chloroform—Medical The opening session, for the current year, of the Medical Department of the University of New York; was held in that city last week. It appears that a very able and elaborate saluto ry address was delivered to a large class of students by Professor Mott. One of his points was, the valUe of the use of Chloroform in sur gical cases, as an agent totally banishing the consciousness of past suffering and present agony on the part of the patient. The Profes sor said•: "I allude, gentlemen, of course, to the in troduction of anesthetic agents in the practice of surgefy : and since the discovery of the im mortal Jennor, none more useful or universally beneficial : has, I venture to say, rewarded the ceaseless eflorts of the votary of medical sci ence, towards alleviating human • suffering. They have disarmed surgery of its greatest ter- . Mr. The patient, wrapped in a gentle slum ber, dreams, perhaps, the while of the blisses of heaven ; not a fibre starts to discompose or embarrass the opperator, or divert his knife in its cautious course betwen life and death. The most-difficult dissection is effected in perfect tranquility; not u cry escapes to distress the sympathizing spectator, and the victim awakes at the close, to the tardy but rapturous con sciousness, that his disease has been removed, and his agony spared. Humanity has no great er triumph, than, at the moment when the-pa tient discovers that all he has dreaded for months—all that has made his days wretched, r and his nights sleepless—has been .achieyed without his consujousnesS, and without a pang; no greater reward, than his tearful smile of grat itude and .p*ltie at his *okapi) from pain and misery." Interesting from California The news from California by the Empire City at New York, is highly interesting, and will be read with avidity. The proceedings of the con vention show the formation of a free State, and the whole of the advicea indicate enlightened progress, which will he hailed as an evidence of even brighter things than gold in that far-off re gion. The convention was organised on the 4th September, by the election of Robert Semple, president. The-members receive $lO per day, the president $25, the seeretaries and clerics $2B, sergeant-at-arms $22, chaplain $l6, and door keeper $l2. - The Legislature is to consist of two branches, an,Assembly and a Senate, with such general powers, pi ivileg,es and duties as are usually giv en to such bodies. Banking corporations and lotteries are prohibited, and all other corpora tions, except for municipal purposes, are to be established undeueneral laws, the stockholders to be iinlividually liable for all 'debts. The tinem berS of the Assembly are to be elected annually, and the members Of the Senate are to hold their offices for two years. One half to be elected each 'ear. More next week. Late Election Returns• New Y,rk•.—The returns of the recent election in New York, which are nearly complete leave but little doubt that a majority of the Whig slate ticket is elected.

The re turns of 60 towns indicate that George N. Brigs the whig candidate fur Governer, has been elect ed by the people. The Democrats and Free Sailers united have probably elected their Senators in Middlesex• Worcester, and Plymouth. In Norfolk and Es sex, the contest is doubtful. The house is large ly whig. John G. Palfrey is defeated by a lar ger majority than before. The vote for Phillips will be 10,1100 less than last year. Boutwell's vote has been increased. . Louisiana.—General James Walker, the Demo- erotic Candidate for Governor has been elected. It is believed that the congressional delegation will stand as before. The election passed otr very quietly. A fine Vineyard.—The Kutztown Geist der Zeit states that Mr. Henry Muschbaeh, of Rich mond township, has a Vineyard of 10 acres- 7 - 7 of which have been under cultivation about five years. From these 7 acres he manufac tured the present year 79 barrels of wine, vir. : 6.5 , barrels of Isabella, 9 barrels of Catawba, and 5 barrels of Maderia. A Successful Young Man We were much pleased yesterday, by the per usal of a letter dated San Francisco, August 31, 1849, in which the writer mentions the great popularity and success of a young citizen of Bal timore. George Gordon Balt, son of T. Hanson Belt, Esq. This young gentleman resides in Stockton, where he some time since opened a store; and, by indefatigable industry, pleasing manners and upright conduct,he has already ac cumulated a fortune of sixty thousand dollars, and is still progressing. He has been twice cho sen Alcalde of Stockton by the popular vote; and his administration of justice has received the universal approval of the citizens. He is only 22 or 23 years of age; and must possess fine tal ents and an exemplary character, to have been thus early entrusted with the most important ju dicial office in the gift of the people, and to have done an extensive and profitable business. It is gratifying to record an instance of such extraor dinary success.—Bullimor Clipper. 'The Reading Callon Factory.—The Reading Cotton Factory will go ahead, in spite of all the rumors that have been circulated to the contrary; as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, signed by William Eckert, Elf'. Trea surer of the Committee of Receivers. The stock holders are notified to meet at Darto's Keystone House, on Tuesday evening next, 13th inst., at 7 o'clock, to determine upon the number of, and nominate a board of Directors. And they are . also notified to meet at the same place on the Saturday following, 17th inst., between 1 and 9 o'clock, P. M., to elect a board of Directors for the first year.—Gazelle, Nov. 10. The Cherokeee.—The seats of two of the mem bers of the National Council have been contested, but without success. There seems to be a legal custom among the Cherokees for the Sheriffs of the various districts to summon a posse and waste or destroy all liquor brought into the re serve against the laws of the nation. The per sons so doing have been heretofore paid by the government. The National Council has passed a bill embodying the plan suggested by the prin cipal Chief in his message, for the payment of the oational.dcbt. The laws of the nation which were originally 'passed in English, have been, by direction, translated into Cherokee. Turned...Ca:Wk.—Protestant Churchman of Saturday, gives currency to a rumor that the Rev. Dr. Forbes, late Rector of. St. Luke's New- York, "has sought a home in the bosom of the Romish Church." Large Corm—We have lying before us a spec imen of corn that does great credit to New Jer sey. It was raised on the farm of Mr. William HMO, of Morristown, (N. J.) and it contains 1048 grains in regular rows and of large size.— There are four cars of the same size, taker' from the same stalk. Printers in Europe—A convention of printers which was about to meet in Berlin in the early part of October, for the purpose of consulting upon the means of forming a union between the different society of printers of Germany, was suppressed by the authorities, and 24 hours al lowed to the deputies to leave the oily. The Newspaper We extract the following from the speech of Rev. J.Aspinall on Education "Nor, while speaking on the schtiohmasters, in' whose hands the printing Tress is such a pow erful agent of public instruction at the preSent time, must we forget newspapers. Whether we regard them as the guide or echo of popular opin ion—and in some sort they partake of both char acters—we are lost in amazement and adMira lion at the quantity and quality of • mind,, and That of the highest order, now to be found in the coltuns of the daily, weekly, and provincial press. From being a mere chronicle of passing, events, a dry register of dates and facts, the newspaper has grown into one of the leading school-masters of the day. Its articles amuse us with their wit and instruct us with their wisdom. They exhib. it the. brilliancy of the classical scholar, and the close-searching reasoning of the logiCian. It is an encyclopedia in itself. It reviews all books, aqd treats of all sciences. It is familar with all geography, and at home in all history. It is the (Edipus to read the riddles which every political spinx-may.set before it. -It- dives' into cabinets secrets, and anticipates the purposes of states men. It has the hundred eyes of every wakeful Argus, the hundred hands of fifty heads of.llri areus. And as omnipresbnt as omniscient, as übiquitous and versatile, it is here, there and every where, from Indus to the Po, from China to Peru, compassing the world with its corres pondents, and with its expresses, and the electric telegraph racing against time to communicate its intelligeoce of mankind in every region of the earth. The ancient counted up seven wonders of the world. If they had possessed a newspa per press they would have had an eight, more marmelous and of more worth than all the rest together." Counterfeia mt Ike Lanctieler Bunk.—We fi nd, in the National Police Gazette, the following de scription of a new counterfeit on ibis Bank, which has recently made its appearance. .ilO's on the Lancaster Bank, Pa., letter B, dated January Ist or 2d, (could not distinguished which,) 1844. The bills are signed Christ. Bachman, Cashier, James Evans, President. Vignette, a naked fe male sitting with a staff in her right hand, her face turned left, no spots visible on the eye, a spread eagle on her left side, (the right side of the vignette,) resisting nn a shield; a ,ship, all, sails set, on her right, badly engraved; the hull or bottom looks like a floating saw log, square at both ends. Double medallion heads on the right end of the bills, also badly executed. The other figures on the bill are good, all purporting to be engraved by Underwood, Bald, Spencer & Hufty, Philadelphia, and New York. These bills are not described in any of the last detectors. The Harrisburg Bunk.—The Telegraph states that it has seen new counterfeit s's on this bank, and gives the following description of them : The paper is flimsy ; but a pretty good imita tion of the color of the genuine; not quite as much blue tint, and slightly inclining to red.— The signature of the President is a tolerable Im itation; that of the Cashier generally stiff and awkward. The other pen•work is clumsy. The note is a quarter of an inch too long. The fe. male figures at each endure indistinct; the teeth of the rake can hardly be traced on that on the right hand. The lines of five,five,five, &c., above and below, are coarse and unworkmanlike. The N. in No. is clumsy. The lower point of the V. on each side of the figure of Justice, is blunt, while on the genuine it is sharp. The space be tween the right hand V die, and the tamale reap er, is much wider than that on the left hand.— This is perhaps one of the best tests, as in the genuine those spaces are about equal. A little attention to these remarks will enable any one to detect the counterfeit. An Atheist's Testimony. Refeeted.—At the late term of the Court of Quarter Sessions for Frank. lin county, a witness was called to the stand whose competence was objected to because of his religious belief. It was proven that he had said he ~ did not belief in a future state of remarks and punishments—that when a man died, he died like a dog—that the Bible is a fable, and there is no punishment after death." Judge Watts promptly and very properly decided that the man was incompetent to give testimony in a Court ofJustice, and refused to hear what he had to say. The Southern Convention.—The Charleston Courier of the Bth. contains the following import- ant paragraph:— ""We are informed that our great Southern Statesman, the able advocate and intrepid cham pion of the South, and yet the devoted lover of our glorious Union—the Constitutional Union of coequal States—warmly approves the Mississippi scheme of a Southern Convention. We hope and trust that our infkrmation may prove correct, and that the sanciron of "this great name" will not be wanting to a plan of action so replete with the promise of security to the South and peace to the Union." racryie Railroad Survey.--A corps of topograph ical engineers are now under orders in Texas to examine the country between Fulton on Red riv er and El Passo on the Rio Grande, with a view of ascertaining a route fur the Pacific railroad. The report of the engineer will be laid before Congress at am early period. Culla Paella Monopoly.—The Hudson Manu facturing Company, chartered by the legislature of New Jersey, widh a capital of ssoo,ooo—hav ing secured the vole patent for manufacturing gutta percha in this country—have completed the purchase of the valuable water power and real estate of the Somerville Water-Power Com pany on the Raritan, and are about to invest $50,000 in works which are ready in the spring. Mr. R. N. Kent, a practical chemist •in . New York, has made a discovery which promises greatly to extern'. the use of the guile 'percha, which, owing to the lack of a cheap and perfect solvent, has hitherto been limited to the making of machine bands, ornamental writ*, and a vari etyof fancy articles.

Ltsn.-301 square yards make 1 square rods 40 square rods make one square rood. 4 sqciare roods make 1 acre. 640 acres make 1 square• mile. 4940 square yards or IGO rods make mire. In measuring an acre by yards, the usual prac— tice is, to trace otT7O yards in length and 70 yards in width, this, in rough way, may}•ba•considered near enough for all practical purposes ; but as 70 yards either way make 4900 square yards, it ex— ceeds an acre by 60 square yards. To determine an accurate acre, it strourid be measured 70 yanlsf in length, by 69 1,7 yards in breadth.
