Those of our patrons who contemplate chang ing their residence about the first of April will please inform us to the new direction of their paper. There is scarcely a neighborhood where the " Register" can not be forwarded either by mail, our carriers, or by private convelauce: Tempernuce Annlveisary Jordan Division, Sons of Temperance, cele brated their anniversary on Wednesday evening last, in the German Lutheran Church. The church, was crowded to its utmost on the occa sion, and the addresses were delivered in an appropriate lbd able manner. We learn that the Division is steadily increasing in member ship and wealth. " ARRESTED. On IVednesday night last, a party of " fast young nags," hailing from " Mingo," came up town, and before they were allowed to go home in the Aiming, they found that the " wet dam nation" they had partly imbibed before setting out on their " expedition" had carded them rather further in their acts than the- law limi ted. In their perambulations about town, they Came across a Beer House having that useful implement, the " Anchor," as an insignia upon its sign--in effort, a place in the suburbs of our town, known as the " Anchor House." After they had been there a short time " the tug of war 'commenced," by their demolishing the -bur, bursting inn door, breaking windows, pitchers, &c. Officer EItIGII, however, put a stop to their " fun," by locking them up until morning, when they were taken before Justice Rube, who held them under $l,OOO bail for their appearance at the next Court, when we hope they may be taught a lesson for their folly. tr. S. Senator. ' Editing as we do, a Journal avowedly neutral in politics, it would be the pink of impropriety in us, to be biased in favor of either of the many parties of the day. Knowing'how difficult a matter it is to speak of political subjects without treading on somebody's corns, w generally ab- stain from all comments, but a sense of that duty which we owe to our constituents, compels us to speak of the late contest,—we might add disgraceful contest, which has lately endedin Harrisburg. The Senatorial Election has been postponed until the first Tuesday in October Now if we were . convinced, (as some would have us believe,) that it was for no other pur pose than to bring the matter . fairly before the people, we would not raise any objections ; but a moments reflection will show us the falsity of this assertion. The voice, or will of the people can not be felt in this contest until the sitting of the next Legislature in January 1856. This Legislature which meets again in October next, has the right (if they choose to exercise it,) of meeting and adjourning from day to-day until that time. Again, were this a war of princi ples, and we satisfied that time was necessary to develope the right, and give it a preponder ance, we could not object ; but this is not so ; men now are aerythipg, 7 Frimiplcs nothing.— So this was not a war of principle, but a war of men—men corrupt and unprincipled, fighting for a political ascendency. The people, through their representatives, arc to be made the tools in this disgraceful combat, and our Legislative Halls the arena. How long is this to be ? How long are we to permit ambitious dema gogues to ride roughshod over our heads? It Must end somewhere, and if there is any fain to be put in • the signs of the times, quick] . Men seem to think they should find the office ; this is a mistake. To be well governed, the office must find the man, and when left to it self, it surely will find the one who is most ca pable of filling it with honesty and dignity.— Were this rule always followed, and ambitious aspirants to office frowned down, we would not ,so often be called upon to'recorn-defideations . of public; monies , by pubic men. Supposing by this rule our legislators had been chosen, and all the Members of our Legislature were honest, how would we noir stand ? Why, as like seeks like,•they would have ignored these Aspirants to the Senatorial chair,•and have cho sen one Jike themselves, honest and- worthy, but as it is, they. have postponed, the election, not to give a principle an ascendency, but to allow men to fight ftir mastery,—to bribe and browbeat, to gratify their inordinaic ambition. It is fast getting to be no hwtor t to a man to - have a seat in the United States Senate, for all the'rwlet ki3ows how those seats are obtained ; wit by superior merit or honesty, but by mon ied or political influence. The money this extra session will cost us would be better ap plied if appropriated to the pnyin6nt of that • State Debt which we can hardly ever hope to see paid as long as our political welfare remains in the hands of men who haVe no thought save • for their own aggrandizement. On the 4th of March the term of the present incumbent from this State expires. So with the incumbent from California ; his term expires at the same time. In that State (California) as here, the Legislature has failed to elect a successor. Rather ominous this, to see these two States, thO:Keystone and Eureka hand in hand, both equally renowned for their mineral wealth,- - equally celebrated for their agricultural resour :oes, and both (politically) equally corrupt to the corn. It is immaterial to us who is elected. We care not, provided he be honest and firm. 'We do not want to represent ns in the Senate, a man who will spend his (nue in composing 'brilliant orations on abstract principles, or ab struse doctrines for the purpose of acquiring a reputation, but, wo want - a man who will faith fully our State, and jealously guard her great and growing interests. : DEATH OF REV. C. B.KESSLER., Tho Rev. C. R; Kr.sstun,, Piincipal of the Allentown Seminary, expired on Saturday night last. ,His afflictions were long and severe with that fatal disease which baffles all medical skill, Consumption. The messenger of death has seldom, if ever, summoned a manfircim time to eternity, that will cause more universal grief than the one at the head of this article. •Rn . dewed with a brilliant and comprehensive mind, and with a genius that grasped any sub ject with avidity and mastered it with ease, his acquirements were of the first order. In his death society has lost an honest member. All the characteristics of the philanthropist and de serving citizen belonged to him. Ile was hu : inane and steadfast in his friendship and true Ito the objects of his love. No one could have left this transitory and sublunary vale of tears, that could be more regretted, or make a mkye melancholy void in the community. In hls death the church militant has _lost an useful, holy laborer, and the church triumphant has added to its countless multitudes; another star for the Redeemer's crown. Mr. Kessler leaves a wife and three children on whom this bereave ment falls with a crushing force.. She has the warmest sympathy of our citizens. Let the widow's heart seek that consolation found' only in a living faith in lll3t " whose ways are past finding ,out," and through whose grace she may hope to enter upon that re-union which is enduring, and whose brightness the spoiler, Death, cannot dim. The Old Lutheran Church. "While systems change, and suns retire, and worlds Slumber and Wake—Times ceaseless march pro ceeds!" The Rev. J. S. VOGELIINCH preached an in teresting valedictory sermon on Sunday last, in the Lutheran Church,—it being the last time of divine worship, previous to the com mencement of demolishing the present building for the purpose of having a new one erected on its site. The Church was built in 1704, and consecrated to the worship of God on the 4th of September, 1705. The building committee consisted Of JOHN ROTH, Sr., GOILIEB SCHROA DER, PETER KLOTZ and GEORGE A. BLANK.- The Trustees were John Horn, John Roth, Peter hertz and Henry Schantz. Treasurer, Leonard Nagel, Sr. Of these officers of the Church, we understood 21'r. Vogelbach to say, only one remained and was now identified with the congregation, the rest being deceased.— How fleeting is the progress of time ! Next September it will be sixty years that the first religietis service was held in this Church. Alas ! how few are left and now travelling with us on the road 91' life, who were present on that interesting occasion. Most of them have paid the great debt of nature—they have become companions to the worm. In these sixty years our town has undergone a great and wonderful change. In that time too, how rapid has been our progress as a Republic ! How wonderfully' have the " Original Thirteen" in creased and multiplied ! Our population at the present time, cannot be less than twenty-four millions of souls. Our territory at present ex tends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Be tween the two oceans how vast the hive of busy human beings. Nevertheless, we have millions of fertile acres that have yet to feel the ifimress of the first spade. Who can picture alluding to the subject. The establishment has been under our control a little over five months. We have always felt flattered by the liberal patronage the public has bestowed upon us, but during the last few weeks we have felt pare ticularly so. Our list of subscribers has been considerably increased, and we are especially pleased that it has been clone without solicita tionon our part or by any one for'us. Many individuals have called or written to us to have their names entered on our books, thus show ing, we venture to .hope, that our paper is growing in public . favor. We shall always be glad to receive such calls or communications, and will spare no pains to deserve the continued patronage of our friends. The store of "Messrs. Ilsusn & KLADER, in tipper Macungy township, this county, was entered by burglars on Wednesday night last, and 'robbed of goods amounting to near four hundred dollars, and between twelve and thir teen dollars small change which had been left in the drawers. They effected their entrance by boring a hole through a window shutter.— The perpetrators of the crime have as yet not been discovered. 117`The total number of hogs packed in Cin cinnati up to the 20th inst. Ins 355,000. In the Court Proceedings last week, in speak ing of the motion in arrest of judgment in the I case of the Commonwealth vs. Frederick, it was stated that Mr. Longnecker, one of defendant's counsel, argued as follows : " That as lotte ries had been in existence and lottery tickets sold in this dounty under the very noses of the guardians of the law 'almost since the passage of the hot of 1833, it would bo unjust to sen tence him now, if others had committed the same crime, if crime it was, and not been pun ished, so should not he." This was an inad vertant error, as we are informed that this was not the•substance of the language used by Mr. Longnecker and we were probably led into the error, from the fact that after the mo tion in arrest of judgment was decided against Frederick, and an appeal was made to the mercy of the Court, Mr. L. stated in mitiga tion of the offence, that it was the first act, that the defendant had good reason to believe ho was committing no offence when ho sold ticket s l in what he thought was a Panorama, when hundreds of others, claiming to be highly res pectable, were selling lottery tickets and had. pursued it as a business under the eyes of the officers of the law, and were either not prose cuted, or when prosecuted the bills were ignor ted by the Grand July, and that in this way the defendant was led into error. The counsel then remarked that if the Court believed from the evidence in the case, that the defendant was misled and that there was no guilty intention, the Court would not bo warranted in imposing a viudictative sentence. Robbery An Error. The Next State rale. Proposals are invited by the Executive Com mittee until the first day of April next, from the citizens of towns and cities in the State, relative to the location of the next exhibition of the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society.— Communications, on the subject, will be ad dressed to ROBERT C. WALssa, Esq., at liar risburg. The ensuing annual Exhibition of the Society swill be held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the 25th, 26th, 27 and 28th days of September next, 'he unfortunate location of Allentown—from a want of proper Railroad communication at present—will prevent our citizens from offering proposals on this occasion, though we should greatly delight in seeing the State Fair held here. In a year or so, however, the Lehigh Valley, as well as the North Pennsylvania . Rail Roads, (the former probably in a few months) will be completed, and we shall then be able to enter the lists with more favored localities. The last Exhibition of the County Society was one of the most creditable ever held in this section of the State. We have the stock and the spirit, but lack the proper facilities of railroad communication. These we, will have, however, before long. Severe Accident. On Saturday afternoon last, a young lad named Lewis BALLIET, n son of Mr. _X .-114.111 a. in West Hamilton street, met with a severe accident by falling from a pile of boards—a distance of some thirty feet, in Dreshdr's lum ber yard. When picked up it was found that his hip was dislocated, and several other bruises about his body. He made a miracu lous escape, as he alighted a few inches op posite a sharp pale fence; which if had struck it in the fall, would undoubtedly have resulted nstant death. I=2 In Sunday last a lad named Joni DEwALD, of Mr. Isaac Dewald, of this place, met h an acoident by falling from the 19ft in his her's barn. The injuries he sustained were such a severe nature that he expired on nday evening last. He was about fifteen irs of age. Farewell Sermon. On last Sabbath evening, Mr. Inwix, the able ;tor of the Methodist Episcopal Church !ached his farewell sermon. The attendance Ls quite large.' Although Mr. Irwin was coring under a severe indisposition,-the text Ls treated in an able mid Logical manner, with application that must, have , made a lasting, ipression upon the congregation. Mr. Irwin Ls been laboring for this congregation for the it two years, and during this time a: large mailer of persons were brought under the (Menu of religion, and enrolled as members the Church. . FIRE ALARM The alarm of fire on Saturday evening last. 'as caused by the explosion of a camphene' imp in PIERRE'S Shaving Saloon, next door to le Register' office. The fire was extinguished eforo any damage was done. ' We hope our neighbors will take good care hereafter, as our buildings are rather a dangerous !! institution" in case of fire. New Postage 11111 The United states Semite, on Tuesday, passed an important bill from the House, in reference to the postage on letters. This bill provides that for letters going less than 3000 miles the postage shall be three cents, and over that dis tance it shall be five cents, except where postal treaties with other countries shall prevent. The amendment further provideb that, after the Ist of .January, 1850, all the letters shall be pre-paid, and that done with stamps ; also that letters containing money can be registered, so as to shonn that they have been sent ; but in no instance to make the Department responsible for them. The amendment must be concurred in by the House, before it goes to the Presi dent ; but it will, in all probability, pass with the Senate's amendments. Grahetruhe Magog Aline. This excellent monthly ptriodical for March is upon our table. It is a charming number.— The engraving of Washington is alone worth the price of the number. " Washington taking leave of his mother," is a very pretty picture— showing the love the great and good ,man always bore his mother. Terms $3 per annum. The Bounty Lend 818. Hon. Nor Middleswarth, representative in Congress from Pennsylvania on the 22nd ult., made an appeal to the members to take up and pass the Senate bill for the benefit of the sol diers of the war of 1812. He urged that the anniversary of the birth day of Washington was a fitting time for doing justice to the veterans, and reminded the House that before herykar many of these soldiers will hav gone to " that, bourne whence no traveller r urns." But dor mant gratitude and patrio ism, could not be aroused to such an exte as to gratify Mr. Middleswarth's resonabl and honest desire. He succeeded, however, i obtaining unanimous consent to have the bll printed; and gave notice that he would move 'its consideration on the following Thursday. Justice to the patriotic men who nobly served their country in the second war of independence, demands the pass age of this bill. Since the above was in type, the House of Congress passed the Bill which gives 160 acres of land to all who served in any of the wars of the United States since 1790. Those who have already received forty and eighty acres are entitled to the difference under this bill. As the Senate had previously passed it, so that it receives the President's sanction, it will be ft law. The bill also includes revolutionary widows reedoetion of the Tariff. The bill of Mr. Houston, reducing the tariff was aplAded to the appropriation bill in the House on the 24th, and passed by a vote of 120 yeas to 60 nays. The leading feature of the bill is a general reduction of the duties imposed by the act of 1846, of twenty Per cent. The probable loss to the revenue (should this bill become a law) it is said will be from ten to twelve millions of dollars—and the probability is that the surplus will be exhausted about the middle of the next fiscal year, and that the revenue falling below the annual expenditure by about fifteen millions of dollars, will impose upon the next Congress the duty of providing for the wants of the government by a heavy loan, or by the restoration of the protective -system, as exemplified by the act of 1842. The Senate will undoubtedly append to the ap propriation bill the proposition for suspending the iron duties. „It will go back to the House, and then will commence the struggle for the concurrence of - that body. The Pennsylvania members who voted for the Houston amend ment reducing the tariff are Messrs. Bridges, Jones, McNair, Witte, Florence, Straub and Wright. PonneTlvan in A correspondent of the Washington Union gives the following figures in relation to the population, debt, valuation and taxes of Penn s dvania Population. Debt.. Valuation.

The tax here given is only that on real and person al estate. The debt has remained nearly sta- onnry for more than ten years, during whic time the assessed value of the property has risen one hundred and eleven millions, or nearly three times the value of the debt. In the ratio of this increasing wealth and number of the ieople, the burden of the debt has diminished vhile the taxes have yielded better. Changing Township Elections. The following is a Supplement to an Act passed last winter, in relation to changing the place of holding township elections, by a vote of the people : A SUPPLEMENT to an act in relation to establish ing and changing the places of holding gene rat election's throughout the Commonwealll ,passed Apri1:20,4851- SEC. 12 ' Be it ena c ted, That in all cases in which new townships, boroughs, or election districts,.shall be erected, or the bounds of any election district changed under the provisions of the act to which this is a supplement, the Court of Quarter.

Tag Onto WasAT CROP.—The Trumbull Democrat remarks that the farmers in that re gion of country, say that the wheat crop sowed last Fall looks exceedingly well at the present time, and the prospect of . a good crop is very flattering. The farmers in Lawrence county, according to the Journal, report similar, news in relation to the crops there. The fall of snow is very opportune for this crop, and it is provi dential that the fall grows deeper and more serviceable as you advance into the great Wheat growing sections. The whole crop in the West and North-West is now comfortably Clothed with its winter covering and everything bids fair for a bountiful yield. • • GREAT SALE op STOOK.—Tho sale of jacks and jennets, imported recently from Spain by the Kentucky Impelling Company, took place at Germantown, Ky., a few days ago. The prices were remunerative, ranging from $395 to, $l,- 550 per head, with the exception of ono, which sold at $325.
