was undoubtedly insane, although the-mate acted rightly enauh holding aloof at pre sent, as the captain had not yet evinced himself incapable of managing the ship. Whether any whisper had leaked out ;in the Cabin, through the officer* or 'stetaard; cannot tell, but the captain undoubtedly•su,s peeled What had passed. -At noon, the next day, he came on deck, with a double barreled•gun In his hands; anti deliberately loaded it with hall in our-presimce. When he had done this; he called nll hands aft, and in language that-sufficiently indicated, from its wild incoherency, that he was ur_ toubtly insane, he addressed the crew, win ding up with the . words— " You think to get the upper hand of me, do you? You will mutiny—you will take the ship away from me? make an ex ample—l'll show you whom you have to deal with! Mr. Jackson, let those two men be-seized up this minute, for rit make spread eagles of them sure as I live." As he spoke, the captain pointed to two of the nearest men—one an American, the other an Englishman. These poor fellows looked round at their messmatcs, and see ing bow undecided all were, then suddenly turned and sprang into the rigging—run ning aloft for safety-. Tho captain's eyes glared like a wild beast's, and seizing his gun be shouted.— . 'lay down this moment, both of ye, or L'il shoot yr!" They ssw the threatening movement and heard the command ; but this only caused them to run up the rigging higher and high er. Twice more the captain hailed them, and then he raised his piece, and quick as lightning, levelled .and 'fired. A (burst of execration from us all followed, for the , ball had struck the Englishman and broye,his leg. He fell like a wounded bird iht the maintop. and streamed in agony. "Oh, God! what have you done, Orwell' L—?" exclaimed the horror. trick( n mate. "You have committed murder!" "No, I have not," answered the captain, "I order the fellow down, and if he won't obey its mutiny and the law will justify me in killing him, or killing you either—so . mind what you say 1" The mate turned aside, and when one of the oldest seaman whispered in his ear.— "Say the word, sir, and we will clap the madman in irons," he only shook his head and buried his face in his hands. Meanwhile the American, a fine young fellow, known by the soubriquet of "Boston Bill," had ascended to the royal yard, and .was looking down on deck tosee what course matters were taking. The Captain, not sat isfied with disabling oneillesp oL jullkhis mo ment pointed his gun at hird, ea - hoarsely ordered him on deck, threatening to shoot him it he refused. "Come down, man, for heaven's sake?" repeated the mate, "Ile will flog me if I do, sir." "Yes, flog you, sure enough," yelled the captain. "Then I will die before 1 come down." Without another word, the captain com menced taking a deliberate aim, and half a dozen voices shouted to the men whose life was to• this fearful jeopardy—, "Jump overboard, Bill, or you are a dead man. Jump for life!" Iht an instant the sailor ran along the foot rope and clung to the royal yard-arm to lee ward. The alternative was indeed horrible. If he descended he would be floggeil— if he remained he would be shot if he leaped over board from that dreadful height, he ran the risk of being dashed to piecesif befell side ways on the water, or of being snapped up by a shark, or drowned, let him fall which way ho would. The captain shifted his aim, and his finger was on the trigger. "Jump, Bill, jump !" screamed his mess mates, and his resolution was taken. He would "leap for life! Lowering himself from the yard arm with his hands, he pointed his feet downward, and clove the air with the velocity of a can non-ball. A second or two, and he had dis appeared-in the curling green sea. The; pent up excitement of the crew found vent at this moment. One party rush ed on the captain and disarmed and bound him, while the rest put the helm down and threw the sails aback, to stop the ship and sprang to the falls of the quarter boat, to lower , away to pick up the American, should he rise to the surface. A breathless pause of very nearly a min ute ensued, and then we beheld the head of -the sailoremeige et the distunce of a hun dred yards; and -being a capital water-dog he struck. out bhldly for the ship, and amid a loud hurra was pieked up. His "leap for lifii" had been successful. The • other poor fellow who was shot aloft-was lowered on deck in a sling. He was more injured by the fall than by the hall id his leg, and died ' the same night in extreme agony. .The mate itow consented to take com mand of the ship, and Captain L— was closely confined till we came to port. By that time he was raving mad, anfbe died within three days after being conveyed to an hospital ashore'.

SMYSEII, Of Montgomery County. Agricultural We to day publish the premium list of the next "Agricultural and Mechanical Fair."— The premiums will amount to considerable over one thousand dollars. They have been doubled in almost every particular, and indeed are now already a :natter of interest. In a lew years hence when the improvements and prop erty is paid the premiums will become a ma.. ter of profit to the exhibitiun. As the serum is now at land; during which, those who wish to exhibit articles of theirown manufacture, or the products of their farms at the next Agricultural Fair, should be busily engaged, a - few hints as to the beat mode of producing them may not be amiss, especially to such as have engaged in it for the first time. Although so styled, yet it is not by any means intended to be exclusively an Agriuul tura! Exhibition. Many articles, ndt the pro. duct of the farm, it is expected, will be offered and the otjeci is, to afford the skilfameuhau . , or ingenious artisan, an opportuni y to dis- Iky ability they severally possess, to fur• nigh articles of superior meth in their particu lar trades or branches of business, and thus ad vertise to the community Where such arti cles may be had. The officers of our society have construct • 'ed a platform, broad enough to comprise eve ry order and class of persons, who live by hon. est industry; as-well the individual who gains a living from the manufacture, of hickory brooms and axe-helves, as he who displays his skill in the construction of carriages, furni; ture, &c., of the moat costly kinds. All 'are ir.vited to add something to the display—to which invitation every one who understands his true interest will cheerfully respond. By what means can the mechanic or man• ufaotorer extend the knowledge of his wares, or articles in his peculiar line—their cheapness —durability, and superior finish, so widely and effectually, as by placing the article itself in the view of the whole community, side by side with others, in the same line of business either improving himself from their superior skill, or having the double satisfaction of excel ling them, and affording them the. means of I instruction Certainly in no other way could he advertise so cheaply. Whoever was pres ent-at the State Fair in Sept. 1853, at Pittsburg and paid any attention to the display, must have discovered that the most interesting part of the exhibition was the Mechanics' Hall; and that it was a plain, living, tangible advertise ment of the mechanics, and manufacturers of that city. There, every mechanic was alive to his interest and dull indeed, Would have been the man, who would have t.eglected, or declined an opportunity to advise the thousands in attendance, where such goods or Wants were to be obtained. Now, what this was to the whole State, we desire to make the next Fair to Lehigh - county. And we trust her mechan ics will likewise ace their true interest, by be ing in attendance with some specimen of their skill. Nor do we urge this merely for the sake of the premium, which may or may not bo giv en them for their labor. We trust our mechan ics are men, who can rise above the few dol. lars which may be paid as a reward of merit —that a higher and more noble sense of honor will stimulate them in their efforts, as well to gratify the public, as to be pleased in turn theri selves by the whole display; and that those who, if they , be disappointed in the prize, are satisfied, with having in some degree, at least contributed to the gratification of their fellow citizens, and withal, done their duty. . It is expected that the exhibition in the me• chanical department, will not be confined to those residing in the.boroughs of this cotittly,• but that every mechanic, no matter where his residence may be, will present something in his line, so as to render the show as varied and interesting as possible. The last day of the Fair, and indeed through the whole course of it, sales of the various ar ticles offered, may be made, by which the maker and vender may not only . lie benefitted in a pecuniary point of view, but relieve of the labor of conveying his properly home with , him. Let every industrious, energetic mechanic himself go to work at once, to prepare an article worthy of commendation, nor need any one be deterred by fear of his workteing too common, or too much in use to be appreciated. A wheel- barrow, if well made, deserves cornmendation equally with the fine carriage; , perhaps more, from the fact that it is in common use, and (a. miller to every one. la .our next we shall endeavor to Bay a few words to the ladies of our county, to induce , them; if possible, to contribute largely of their handiwork to the exhibtion. Meanwhile let who intend to be present on the occasion, prepardreo:nething, no matter how common it may - seem to them. There will be ample room for all, and let us endeavor to make our coming Fair E as far superior in point of inter eat arid attraction, to , the last, as it exceeded the expectations otite warmest friends.

In all our political experience we have new: er known a Whig Gubernatienal -nomination 'to .glite,such general satisfaction to all . parties as well am that of lamesyollock. His private S,nd finblic life has been so.entirely -nnexcep tiottalgpihat even his-most bitter political gripe, n ents, cant find nothing to say against him* their lips are hermetically sealed. Indeed we Chrillenge them to point to a single act, vote or speech of Judge Pollock's which the people . cannot heartily endorse. From hie first election to Congress, up to the present time, hisgenitis has adurned every station which he has been called upon to fill. As a representative in Congress although one of the yOungest if not the youngest member, he won for himself a proud position among the highest intellects and idlest debators in that body, by the zeal, abili. i and , eloquence wi:h which he advocated said.. - .defended the interest of his native State. Subsequently, when elected to the Bench,, he won additional laurels to those which already encircled Ids brow. On all questions of public policy Mr. Pe.t.Locz does not hesitate to make an open, - honest and candid avawal.of his sen timents, and he is generally found to be on the right side of every question. In this respect he differs materially from Gov. Bigler, who is hesitating, nui so exceedingly uort-com mittal as to render his position on all questions doubtful... Mr. Pollock, instead of being a mere tool in the hands of a few designing demago gues, would be governor himself, and by his manly independence, firmness, and decision of character, comMand the confidence of his friends and the respect of his enemies. In short he would make just such a Chief Magis trate as the people of the old Keystone could look up to and honor without compromising their dignity as freemen ; and from present in dications, he will be elected by an overwhelm ing majority. The honest masses are disgust. ed With Bigler's imbecility, and bare subservi ency to the South, and long to see a full grown man in the Gubernatorial chair of the old Key stone—a man of sufficient intellectual capacity to manage the affairs of State creditably and successfully, and with firmness and indepen dence enough to carry out what he honestly believes to be right. Such a man is LIMES Pi , LL'OC, and be will be the next Governor .61 Penneylvania. Correct Doctrine. The Pennsylvanian quotes approvingly a rep elution, adopted by the recent Locoing) State Convention in Vermont, as follows: "ResoWed, That the Democracy of Vermont believing that our free Constitution sanctions no proscription on account of birth, openly and emphatically condemn any organization, secret or otherwise, that would aim to deprive any cit .. tun, native or adopted, of his civil, political or religious liberty." This is the very aim of Americanism —to protect the civil and religious liberties of all, and it can only be effected by prevent ing influences from warring against them.— We are determined' that the ,power of Rome shall not deprive any citizen of the least of his rights. We have never ratified any °dewy with Rome which allows her to have, control, either political or religious, over the people of these United States, she however arrogates this pow er, and has threatened to carry it to our ballot boxes. Will not the "Democracy of Vermont openly and emphatically condemn" such dangi erns interference with American- rights ! Phila. Sun. New Volumes.

Something Like a Threat. The Washington correspondent of the Penn sylvanian, speaking of the late inauguration of Mayor Conrad, and his inaugural address, uses the follow language: "If the advent of Know Nothingism is to be inaugurated by the bitter persecution of men who happen to be born on the wrong. side of the Atlantic, the new party may yet discover that there are other GUILLOTINES - than the one they are now using. If proscrip• tion is to be the rule of their conduct, it is not unlikely that some fifty clerks in the departments here, who are literally know noth.- ings, will receive polite invitations to retire to the shades of private life." Matters of this kind are to be expected at this day and the late election atWashington in dicates that, notwithstanding the terror of the guillotine is held out, the free citizens of this Republic, when they "take a notion,u will vote just as they please.. governor BigP.r.—Tho Democrats must have been inexpressibly alarmed at the prospeet before Governor Bigler, when• they—the unterrified— propose to withdraw their candtdate,and substi tute David Wilmot!

Instruations Receive ti The so.called Democratic State Central Corn. inittee, lately held a meeting at Harrisburg, to deliberate over the , !Sithrackenszeiten," which are threatening . the total annihilation. of the party, at which they have resolved that the chairman, J. Ellis Bonham., of Carlisle, be au. thorlied to issue addiessea on the following subjects.- `First.—The new position of the Whig party and their allies. Second—The principles of nonintervention and popular Sovereignty as settled by' the Com promise 51easures of 1850, and embodied in the Nebraska and Kansas tills. Third—Review of the measures of the pre sent and late State Administrations. Fourth.—Federalism and Whiggery from the days of „Hamilton il3wn to the present day; That the politicians of Allentown - have alrea dy received the instructions spoken ca above, is very evident from the fact, that the polit ical leaders a few days after the meeting were cautioning the disatirlied Democrats of the dan ger that is about to await the party ; we how ever; thick that the politicians this year as usu ually do the talking, and the people will think and vote as they please. The'readers of the Bigler papers can prepare theniselves for an interesting hush, "cooked up according to instructions from head-openers," which will embrace every thing, not relating to the banks that Bigler incorporated, misman agement of the publio works, increase of the State debt, Bigler'a tempera nee views, or any thing else now at issue, but will contain a boun tiful supply of matter that is threatening to bring on the "Schrockenzeiten." Introduced to the Mayor Three fancy young men, with bricks in their hats,—Pat. Rooney, Bill Glenn, and Micheal McGratz—got into 'a fight, or a bit of a spree, on Saturday night, about lady McKee. Said Bill no. to Pat.—"l'llbelabor your hat, and, be jabbers, I'll gouge out your eyes 3" said Pat. unto Bill,:jist try, if you will, jist try, Billy Glenn, now, jist try!" The challenge thus made, and Bill not afraid, at once fell to beating Pat. Roony ; but, Michael Mcbtratz, stepped betw een ' the tivo . pats, in a style most decided jejunely. Bald he "now my boys, be for stoppiu' this noise, or I'll have ye buth into limbo;" but Bill and Pat. fit, scratched gouged, pulled and bit; and Michael MeGretz stood a kimbo. At last he marchgl forth, like a Christopher North, and seized Billy Glean by the throttle, and with all his might, entered into the fight, and battered their heads with a bottle.— The blood froin Pat's nose, spurted over his clothes, until they were crimsoned and gory ; but an officer came, be it said to this shame, and end ed their struggle for glory. Ile took Pat. by the coat; and Bill by the throat, and Michael, of course, followed , after; but their valor ran low, as on they did go, and none of them felt much like laughter. At the station they came, with their ire in a flame, and their "rich Irish brogbe" running pison, but the Mayor said to Pat. "for the brick in your hat, I shall send you 3 months down in prison. Yotroßill Glenn and McGratz. for the bricks in your bats, I shall pass the same sentence on you ;" and off they were sent, ere they'd time to repent, or be pardoned for getting so blue.• Father Kroeger Cony ice A few weeks ago we gave account of an attempt of a Catholic Priest in Cincinnati, called "lath. er Krmger,' to commit rape on a little girl aged 14 years while at "confession." We have since re. ceived a lull report of the evidence given under oath in a court of justice against this trecherous scoundrel. No virtuous man or woman can read the truthful evidence of the Little girl, without having 'their 'indignation aroused against the fiend who sought to effect her ruin. After hear, ing ail the evidence the Court bound Father Krmger" over in the sum of $2,000 for trial in the criminal curt. The Baltimore Clipper, to commenting upon the evidence, says s frau ch brutal such libidinous conduct, as that charged against this pries t of Rome can be perpetrated in the nonfesnicnal, and rooms continuous to the church, in this Protestant country in the nineteenth century, what we ask must be the con dition of that people in those counties where Roman Catholicism is the prevailing religion In conclusion we ask the question, whether American hnsbands and fathers arm longer will, ing to allow their wives and daughters to visit a a place where by degrees the grossest pollutions may be revealed to them by a cunnitg licentious Priest! Should not Catholics themselves arise and denounce this appendage to their church as execrable, andwholly unworthy the consideration of honest men and virtuous women!" . Dysentery.—The follwing testimonial from Solon Robinson, of New York, may be of inter. est to our citizens at this lime, when dysentery and other kindred diseases are said to be, to some extent prevalent: write worst case of cholpra:morbus, dysentery and flux that I ever saw, I have repeatedly cur ed in a very few minutes by a strong tea made of the bark of the sweet gOn—taken green from_ the tree is the best.

Editors; ' There is now developing in our borough a cast, of the most outrageous brutality toward a little girl by a popish priest, Michael Martin (a bane somewhat notorious) The facts thus far trans, pired are these, and they can be relied upon:— Taro Irish families are next door neighbors; a little daughter of the one was in the habit of do.. ing errands in the family of one of our most re. spectable citizens. The mother was frequentli remonstrated with by her neighbor for allowing her child to be in a Protestant family ; ibis fail , ing to have the desired effect ; she'look advert. rage of the mother and father's absence,' and took the child to task. She commenced to beat it, but finding that the child, having 'got hold of a broom handle, was determined to defend here self, she immediately called on Father : Martin, who attended to the summons in company with another old lady. His Reverence locked the doors, and fell to beating the poor defenceless little girl in a man' ner which shohld have dune immortal credit to Barlett, the Austrian Butcher'. The child cried far :trip, :Thar:, the old bog kept 1..1-4.olina that she should keep quiet, eit is your father. who i whipping you." Suffice to say, the child, in cone sequence of the Priest's clerical blows, was black and blue, and badly bruised over a great .portion of her body. Bear in mind, this was done in the absence, and without the knowledge and consent of its parents. When all the facts shall have been investigated, I will furnish the Clipper a full report. The Fatherly father Martin has th,e impudence to promenade the streets of York in, broad day light, and look honest mothers in •the face. He wants but two escorts, and then we might ,vote him a irturrip, on the old Roman style, on his great victory by brutal force over a tender little girl, (on'shame !)
