Laohenaur's Fine. We notice that an effort is now beingmade. and thus far it has been successful to a consid erable extent, to induce the belief that Goy. Bigler did not remit the fine of Dr. Lachenaur. It is evident that the 'Aire( of this is to relieve the Governor from the responsibility and just indignation of the public, at ,an act• of gross FR:motive partiality. It igen after thought, to bide a deliberately concocted scheme which happened niit to work as was designed. Un der the uncertainty excited by the legerdemain of a few cunning lawyers., it is now contended that His Excellency did not remit the fme.— Let us see: The sentence of the Court waT, that Dr. Each' enaur should undergo three months imprison ment in the County jail, and pay a fine of :12500 and that he shall stand committed lentil this sen tence be complied with. Now it is a useless effort on the part of edi tore and lawyers to hoodwink the people of Northampton County.. Every common souse matt will see at a glance that the Governor's pardon positively and unconditionally nullifies the sentemie of•the Court, which is besides the three months' imprisonment•Ndause, that be shall pay E 2500 fine and STAND COMMIT TED UNTIL PAID; If the fine is not remitted as alleged, why is•not the Doctor committed ? Wily is he permitted to go at large like other citizens?' Why does not the Sheriff take him into custody and keep him in confinement un til the fine is paid, in compliance with the sen tence?. The answer is plain and simple. I; is because the Governor grauted him a full and unconditional pardon, which not only releases him from prison, but ate() remits the fine, and in obedience to this pardon, Dr. Lachenaur is set at liberty, without paying it ? A.lull pardon discharges n prisonor from all le. gal efleeis of his crime as far as the Governor has the power to discharge. By law a pardon exempts the individual on whom it iS bestow. ed, from the punishment the law inflicts for the crime he has committed. Now, we ark, ts hat constituted the punishment of Lachenaur for his crime? Was it three months' imprison ment alone, the fine alone, or was it three months' imprisonment and. *2560? 'The lat ter was the sentence, from the effects of which Lachenaur was pardoned by Governor Bigler. Again: Has the Governor the right, under our Constitution to charge we sentence of the Court? We think not. Yet, it it is true that the fine Is not remitted, then the sentence of the Court is virtually changed, which power -we bold, is not vested in the Executive. How ever, as we are not "learned in :the law," we give it only as our opinion, but confident that it will hold good in law. It is said that the County brought suit against the Sheriff for the fine. Lachettaur of course resists it. His Attorney is one of the soundest lawyers in the State—A. E, Brown, Elie., and of motel° would not make defence, unless he knew or firmly believed his case to be good. Lawyers of his calibre are seldom caught on the wrong aids el such a case—they generally look before they leap. Mr. Brown knows that the fine can not, by law, be collected from his lemuse the pardon remits it —.Beth. Times. Know Nothings in Old Berks The Reading Journal states that the Know Nothing Democrats in the borough of 13ertiville, achieved a very decided victory rive!. the Schreckenszeiten Locos, at the Delegate elec tion, last Saturday. It appears that Mr. Edwin X. Brockway, the candidate for Clerk of the Sessions, as is usual with the party leaders in this county, " fixed a ticket" to be run by the faithful, which he of course expected to have choosen without. opposition. On counting the votes, however, Brockway and his clique were thunderstruck to find that two of their 11ICU were defeated; and the third within an ace of falling behind, also, "by another ticket which had been run without the knowledge or con sent of the leaders." information of this unto. ward resultwasimmediately oxpre,sed to Read. log the next morning, several members of the "Sehreckenszciten" Order proceeded to Bern ville to "head oil" the successful "Know Noth ings," but it was no go. The latter could not be induced to decline and came to Reading and took their seats in the convention. It ,was at first determined to oust thorn, but upon ascer taining that at leaSt "one third of the whole number of Delegates were of the same clan the leaders concluded it was best to keep quiet. It is also stated that a result precisely siini_ lar to that of Bernville, occurred ut the Loco Delegate Election in Friedensburg. Regulars were defeated and Know Nothings carried the day—and so in several other townships and boroughs. At Worneladorf, report says, there was a glorious•row in the party, occasioned by the running of Know Nothing delegates. The "Order" seems to be in great favor with the country democracy. Lager Beef Bill. It is rumored that Governor Bigler is to ad- dress his fellow citizens and the Know Noth. legs generally to-morrow in this place, when he is expected to explain his position on the " Lager Beer Bill" which is wearing a hole in his breeching pocket. It was made a se ries charge against Governor Johnston, three years ago, that he hesitated to sign a hill grant' tag the use of our jails to slave catchers, to put men, women and children in to sell off south, and kept it in his pocket. Is it less a crime in .a. loco loco, than in a Whig? They said John ston wanted to make votes. Is that Bigler's object? He certainly means to deceive simne -1 y.— Wilkeibarre Times.

THE FAIR In a few weeks the third annual fair of our Lehigh County Agricultural Society will be held in this borough, and we begin to look forward with interest to the exciting occasion. The success of the two last, warrant the expectation that the next will fulfil the brightest anticipa tions ol it projectors. We regard this growing • Custom, now so generally observed throughout the country, as one of the most cheering features of our present condition. Such meetings of the people on common ground, where neither party nor sectarian divisions occur to interrupt their harmonious intercourse, are well calcu lated to stimulate and advance the progressive lin provment of society, independently of any di rect itffeence upon the industrial interests of the people. They are happy reunions, in which citizens of all classes meet together on friendly terms, and forgot their theoretical differences of dpinion whilst theyunite in promoting the common good. The influence of fairs of this character upon the agricultural interest and other departments of industry must be obvious to all. Intercourse and comparison are necessary to convince the masses of men of the backward sta'e of the arts among them compared with the highest standards ol improvement. Men are general ly incredulous on these subjects, and disposed to regard the implements and usages derived from their fathers as the best in the world.- I An agricultural fair is a sort of microcosm of the useful arts. It exhibits these arts in their various stages of progress, and thus indirectly displays to the observer the rudeness of their appl;cation in every day life. They also stim ulate aspiration aad excite ambition, and re fine the taste at the same time that they ele vate the desires of the people. We sincerely hope that a general and hearty eflort will be made throughout the county to make the approaching occasion worthy of the great section whose interests are to be promo• ted by it. Let the farmers and .artizans, with their wives and daughters, make timely pre paration for a trip to Allentown, with the best specimens they can afford for exhibition, and we promise them a scene of pleasant excite ment which has rarely been enjoyed in the past history of the County.

We can cor dially commer:d them to those who have oc casion to trade in their "line of business.". Selling Men For Slaughter The paternal love of F.uropean despots for their subjects or children is shown by the trans lation of a letter from the Electoral Prince of Hesse Cassel, written after the battle of Tren, ton. A London corresponoe9t of the New York Times has it in his possession, and the paternal Prince writes thus ; Yon cannot think how pleased I was to hear that out of the 1955 Hessians, who took part in the battle, no more than 345 remain. There are, accordingly, 1610 dead—no more and no less—and so the Treasury s owes toe according to our contract, 634,000 flor: ins. The London Court says, it is true, that some hundred of them are only wounded, who can, not be paid for like the dead: but 1 hope that, re mindful of my instructions given to you at Cas sel, you have not tried to save, with inhuman help, those poor fellows who could have bought life only at the sacrifice of a leg or an arm.— That would be a sad present to them; and I am sure they prefer to die gloriously, rather than alive lamed and unfit for my service.—,- Remember that out of the 300 Spartans but one remained in life. Oh, how happy would I be if 1 could say the same of my brave Hessians." Many of the Hessians who were thus sold for so much a head to fight the "rebels" of the North American Colonies during our Revolu tion, remained in our country after the war and have been the progenitors of a race of true re publicans. The above letter was written by the grandfather of the present Prince of Hesse Cassel, an intimate relation of the sovereign consort of Great Britian. Of course the descen. dents of the Hessians will remember such gra cious condescension.—Phi/a. Sun. Know Nothingism.

Bigler, that the new organization, will deal him a blow in some vital part. It is . well known that the ob ject of the association is to p in their pu rity the institutions created for the establishment and preservation of liberty. It is confined to no party—being composed of Whigs and Demo crats. It is naw too soon, of course, for the int_ partial public, with its imperfect knowledge of the principles of the order, to judge how far the beneficent objects in view may be accomplished or how far they may be defeated by sinister and selfish individuals who are ever ready to pervert the best instructions. to their own aggrandize. ment. It is one of the curious signs of the times however.. that within a few weeks, the leading democratic organs of this State have commenc. ed a relentless and exterminating war against' . the Know Nothing order. At first it was treated' with ridicule ; now, the most bitter invective and the grosest vituperation are poored out upon the instruction and its members. The Phila. Daily News makes some judicious remarks Ageing to illustrate the sincerity of this new born zeal. of the ttdemotracy" against political secret socie. ties. The News says: 'The miscalled democracy profess every thing that is good, and rarely practice any. thing but what is bad. For the proof of this dec. laration, we need but refer to the respective con. duct of the two parties on the subject of secret associations. From almost the foundation of the Federal Government, the so-called Democratic Party, has had a secret association in New Xork commonly called Tammany Hall Society, aod,ot which nearly all the prominent men of the Par. ty, not only in that but every obit State are members, and yet not a sylable have we ever seen published in a 1,.0c0 roco journal assailing the character of that Society, and denouncing those who are members of it,.as a secret bindof conspirators against the rights and libertiesed the people. Why only now becoine so fearial of secret political organizations, when one of the chief and most effeetua,l means of maintaining their party, has been for years and years by means of such an organization? Had Know Nothingism aided Loco Focoism to retain the power and patronage of the Government, those Loco Foco journals which now assail and de. nonnce it would have as valiantly defended it, as they have ever defended the corrupt doings of Tammany Hall. In Ohio, it is well known, there exists a secret order by the name of the Miami Tribe, by means of which the Loco Focos have gained the as• ceodency in that State, and monopolized all the power and patronage for some years past. But a few weeks ago the. Democratic Convention in Cincinnati broke up in a row, in consequence of Charles Remelin, Esq., a prominent leader of the patty, who more honest than his compeers insisted upon the Convention denouncing the Miami Tribe as obnoxious to all the objections urged against the Know Nothings. All he le. ceived for his pains was to be knocked down and kicked out of the Convention, and the Miami Tribe still continues its rule without a word of objection from the Loco Foco journals.' John Chambers Again We find in the Alleg,hertian, a paper published in Cambria county, a communication setting forth that the Rev ! Juhn Chambers, who now launches his feeble thunderbolts at the Know Nothings was, in the early days of Navitism, an ardent friend and supporter of L. C. Levin the incarnation of hatred to foreigners of every grade but more , particularly to his own countrymen, the Protestant Irish. He also, it is alledged, went further in stimulating the popular passions against Roman Catholics, at the period of the Southwark and Kensington riots than almost any other man. We can readily believe all this. It is characteristic of the man, and illustrates, in connection with his present coarse, what an ut ter demagogue and hypocrite he is. Be is now as violent in his deouniciation of those whom he consorted with, as he was thin the advocate of their principles, and he supports Bigler with a seal equally earnest, and seeks to hide his real sentiments on the Temperance ques• liwo• with as much jesuit dishonesty as he former. ly manifested hostility to that order. Wo unto ye hypocrites !—lndeliendent Whig. Arrest of a Probable Murderer. The readers of the Sun will remember that, at the time of the brutal murder of the pedlar boy Lehman, at Richmond, a few years since, one of the perpetators of the cruel crime escaped. - The brothers Skupinski were executed for their share in the transaction, but the third murderer, a Pole named John Kaiser, managed to escape and to elude the vigilance of the police, notwithstanding the fact that a heavy reward was offered for his arrest. By some it was thought the two brothers who were his colleagues in the crime, had made way with him before their own arrest, but the general belief was that he had managed to con: , ceal himself and successfully elude pursuit.— This opinion was confirmed by the declaration of persons who believed they saw him atter the arrest of the Skupinski. It is said that among the prisoners awahing trial in Cumberland county, Penn,„ for offences committed there, is a Pole who was arrested for robbery, and that since his incarceration, he has made certain confessions which excite the belief that he is the long sought for Kaiser. The matter will doubtles be investigated, and if this belief should be confirmed, the wretch should be brought 'to justice. Ma murder of the bay was one of the most cruel outrages ever corn e mitted in our midst, and all who were concern ed in it, shOuld share the fate of those already convicted of the offence. This makes the third alleged murderer who has turned up within a few weeks, who have escaped detection for a pore tracted period of time.—Philad.Sun. Smoked Out.—Mott, the locofoco candidate for. Canal Commissioner, in letter jo'reely to. one from Mr. Bonham, chairman of the democratic Rtate Committe, says amp not connected with a secret association organized foz, political purposes, common ly,called Know Nothinge."— This is deemed satisfactory to the leaders of that party, who denounce the Know Nothings, but elect its members to office. Vicissitudes of a Woman's Life. From the .Anzeiger des Westens; the Tribune translates the folloWing tonching•narrative, the facts of which are doubtless not alone in their painful sadnessantong the experitences and suf. ferings of European emigrants do this conntry: few days since, at St. Louis, at an early hour in the morning, the common dead wagon, which at the cost of the city conveys friendless paupers to their last home, stopped before a house in the southern put of the town. The driver got down, went into the house, and soon an ter appeared at the door, along with another in different looking man, carrying a coffin of rough boards. The coffin was pot into the wagon, and the wheels rattled away over the empty streets to ths place of interment. No one followed it with looks of sorrow ; no one stood with heavy heart beside the grave, as the clods fell upon the coffin. Aod yet that coffin hid the form of a wo• man once the object of countless attentions, who was once honored, admired, envied in society, who controlled vast riches, and who but a few years since, before she trod the shores of Amer ica, could look forward to a happy and conten ded old age. .The deceased was Rosa Neschenti..the dough. ter of an imlnensely rich rolish. nobleman. In httearly youth she vos attached to the Court of the Austrian' Emperor, where, at the age of 18, she married a French nobleman, who was also very rich year. She lived afterwards, for lung 4 44 4. I PPY years, partly on the estates of her husi band, partly in journeys through Germany, Spain, Italy and England, and bore her husband three sons, who received the best education, and on whom t,heir parents looked with the greatest pride. `"ibis happiness was interrupted by the July Revolution at Paris. Rosa's husband was ac. tivly engaged in it, and fell gn July 28, shot through by three bullets. His name may still be read on the column in the Place de la Bastil. le. Of the sons, the oldest, a young man of re markable talents bad greatly succeeded in Spain, and was at that time Private Secretary to King Ferdinand. After the death of the King, he with' drew to a country-house near Valencia, where, as is supposed, he was assassinated. The sec ond son, who had become a priest, was a spe. cial favorite of POpe Gregory, but he, too, died shOrtly after this event. The third, who was then quite young, remained with the mother, who had found an asylum in Switzerland, whither she brought the relic of her fortune. When hr was 18 he left his mother and went to America. In New Orleans he found employment and earned money, but bad company and a natural disposi tion to excess soon led him astray, and about five years ago he resorted to the last desperate means of inducing his gray haired mother to come to this country. She could not resist the entrea t ties of her only son, and came. She was able to get together $6,000 in cash, which her son very soon dissipated. Some two years ago he ended his career in New Orleans, where he was a dep uty sheriff at the time, by stabbing a creole. He fled to California, and the aged mother, to whom New Orleans had naturally become hateful, went up the river to St. Louis. "One morning of week before last, at early dawn, the miserable city dead cart of St. Louts bore the mortal remains of Rosa isieschetni to the place of their last unwept repose. Stich is life." Speed On Railways In 1816, thirty_eight years ago, Mr. Meigs of. ' ten predicted in the newspaper, and two years after in the Legislature of New York. that the time would come when railways would be trav elled at an average speed of fifteen miles an hour! Few believed him. He has recently published a book, in which he states that the Emperor Nicholas, of Lussia, has taken the first great step in construction of railways which looks to the attainment of the highest practical speed in travelling on them. Instead of open_ ing narrow cuts and going round every obstacle the road from St. Petersbnrgh to Moscow. five hundred miles, is made on a straight line and opened two hundred feet wide, so that the run. Meg engineer can are every thing on • the Way. The gauge of the track is broad and the locomo_ I tive•is on wheels of large diameter, and the sig. nals and time are perfectly fixed, and the roads crossing the track are shut uff by gates as the trains approach.. In this way a speed of one hundred miles an hour as attained, and Mr. Meigs thinks this may be increased to three hundred miles. Oa some straight runs sixty miles an hour has been made in the United States and one hundred in England. A line of road is now in progress of constroc. from Savauah, Georgia, to the Gulf of Mexico on a perfectly straight line, and is to be opened one hundred sad fifty feet wide. If open way is se. cured, curves avoided, and proper machinery provided, we see An reapon why one hundred miles an hour cannot be as safely run as thirty is our common roads. Railroads will, only have attained their per fectiun ivben , perfectly, straight lines, level tracks and substantial materials shall have taken the place of inclinedsrades and short curves.

At the same time the cubs an another big bear turned about to see if it was a ••free fight," and if so, they wanted to be "counted in."
