int T-ElO Itgiottr. Allentown, Pa. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1855 C. P. IMINES,TDITOR [I:7IVANTED.—An intelligent boy, of active' and industrious habits, is wanted immediately at this office, to learn the printing business. irrThe communication from Slatington, by our valued friend W., came too late for this week's paper.. It will appear in our Let us hear from you more frequently. Organ Consecrat lon The new organ built for St. John's Church, at this place, by Mr. Kilduff, of Philadelphia, will be consecrated on Sunday, December oth. Several clergymen from abroad are expected to be present. Thanksgiving Elay Last Thursday was the day set apart by the Chief Magistrate •of the Commonwealth ns a day of thanksgiving and praise. Although bu siness was not suspended, it wa3 observed by divine service in one or two churches. IVe be lieve a sort of a row occured in " Mingo," re sulting from the free use of liquor. A party of Irishmen • who were engaged in a " free fight" among themselves, became belligerent toward some peaceable citizens. No one was seriously injured. The First Snow Winter—cold, bleak and dreary winter is coming on. The first' snow this season, fell hero on Wednesday last to the depth of about two inches, giving a rather wintry aspect to everything out of doors. It was however not quite deep enough to start the " merry ringing of the bells," but there is a prospect ahead that we will have some more of the " came sort" before long, at least if there is any truth in the saying of the poet Campbell, that " Coining events., cast their shadows before." To those who have not yet prepared for winter it is a last notice to do so ; while, to others it may be a reminder there are poor, whether by misfor tune or otherwise, who are ever in want of a helping hand. Let each one see that his neigh bor does not feel the pangs of want, either in food or fuel, and all may be *happier when the warm sunshine of spring and merry notes of blue bird and robin will sing the return of pleasant days. Public Lect urea The evenings at the present season are long, and we know of no pleasanter or more profita ble mode of conveying popular instruction than through the medium of publl: lectures, deliver ed by able and accomplished speakers. The lectures before the Allentown Lyccum some years ago were of a highly instructive and en tertaining character. They attracted large ang.' intelligent audiences of ladies and gentlevA, doubtless affording them much pleasure and gratification. We think if an effort was made a similar society could be formed without great trouble. At $2 for the season, admitting an entire family, enough tickets could be sold to pay expenses for one lecture each week during ch. entire winter, from various speakers of emi nence. Who will move in this matter ? The terms would be within the-reach of every one. It is clearly the duty, and should boa pleasure to those who take an interest in the advance ment of useful information, to lend their influence and example in such an undertak ing. The rising generation is to be intrust ed with the development of the blessings of free institutions, and into their hands must be placed the perpetuity of all we hold dear and useful ; should we not, therefore, labor to di rect their minds in the proper channel ? A public lecture, clamed in such a way as to combine instruction with entertainment, conies in to supply an acknowledged want. If the subject be wisely selected and judiciously treated, by ono who is competent to the task, the hour which is spent in the lecture room be comes a season of pleasant and profitable re creation. Tier° the mysteries of science are un folded to the popular mind . ; the records of the past opened up in, the pages of the historian ; the treasures of literature spread out in rich and varied profusion ; or the vast realms of human thought invaded, and the results of its exploration added to the gathered stores of popular information. The benefits Conferred upon the community by the labors of a really able public lecturer cannot be estimated. A single evening, spent in this way, in listening to the discussion of an interesting and instruc tive topic will oftentimes afford more profit than months devoted to its solitary investi gation. Allen Miles • This flue company made an excursion to our neighboring borough of Easton on Tuesday the 20th inst., and participated in the dedication ceremonies of the Taylor monument. We be lieve it was the only rifle company in at tendance, and attracted much attention. We have seldoni seen a military corps - that per formed the various movements in such finished style, and we venture to predict, that at no flistant, time, it will be one-of the best drilled in the State. The uniform and equipments are splended, and reflect great credit on those ( who selected them. A Race that Didn't Come Off; On the ltith instant a trial of speed iias to come off on Beek's race course, at . Doylestotim, between . Kramer's grey mare, of this place, and a horse from Rending, fur a Purse of $l,OOO. A largo crowd assembled on the grounds, and at the time agreed upon the judges took their stand, and the mare was brought to the score ready for action; but the Reading nng was among the missing. The mare was driven a couple of heats in order to secure the funeit, which was $l5O, and the crowd then dispersed, greatly disappointed. Thettre• Townsend's theatrical company, after play ing a short and successful #eason at Bethlehein, again returned to this place; and opened at the Odd Fellows' Hall on yonday evening. They have been with us about four weeks, and have the satisfaction of knowing that they drew, for thiS region of country, very full hous a es. At each performance they deservedly gained new friends and new laurels. In consequence of the liberal support heretofore extended to them, the Manager has leased the Hall for a season of three months, and as all their entertainments are of an instructive and at the same time amusing nature, we hope our citizens will pat ronize them liberally. This evening Kotze u, bue's celebrated play of the " Stranger" will be represented, and the beautiful drama, in one act, entitled " Napoleon's Old Guard." UNDER WAY The projected railway between Tamaqua and Lehighton, a distance of 17 miles "is in course of construction.

YOUNG & Lsn have just received a very large and choice:stock of Furs, to which they invite the attention of the publid. Their prices arc extremely low, and their assortment such as will give satisfaction to the most, fas tidious. " You who have money," as Cmsar says, "come and buy; and you who have none, sit down and cry." Nothing need be said of the gentlemanly proprietors as tl9, speak for themselves, and are moreover men of reputation in their line. Customers will of course call and see them in,making their pur chases. I= On Friday last, in consequence of the break ing of an axle, the cars ran off the track a short distance above the Bothlehem bridge, and were considerably broken. ==! During.the afternoon of the same day anoth er accident, of a sad nature, occnred near Beth lehem. A germen in attempting to get on the gravel train, while in motion, missed his hold, and was run over, cutting one of his legs so badly that amputation was necessary, which operation was shortly afterwards performed by Drs. Martin and Wilson. A NEW MILL By reference to our advertising columns, will be seen the proceedings of 11 meeting of the stockholders of the Allentown Water Compa ny, relative to the erection of a new grist mill. on the site of the old mill property.

The Taylor Monument. The dedication of this monument, at Easton. on Tuesday the 15th instant, brought togeth er an immense concourse of people. There were eight or nine military companies present • and everything passed off satisfactorily. There was however some complaint that none of the lions" advertised were to be seen. The ora 1, Con of Mr. IhtowN is spoken of by those who heard it as a very eloquent and patriotic pro duction. George Taylor, it appears, was born in freland, and when he came to this country was sold to pay his passage money. He took en active part in the events that brought on the war, was elected to Congress, and signed the Declaration, but did not live to see his adopted country acknowledged free and independent. He died in poverty and obscurity in Easton 74 years ago, and they know not now where his bones were laid. Pordon of Stephen T. Bente. Gov. Pollock has pardoned Stephen T. Beale, the Philadelphia Dentist, who was convicted of an outrage upon the person of one of his female patients while under the influence of ether, and 'sentenced on the 28th of November, 1854, to four yearS and six months' imprisonment. He has, therefore, fulfilled about ono year of his sentence. The Governor gives a lengthy state ment of the reasons which induced him CO par don Dr. Beale, which were principally the re ceipt of numerous petitions froin dentists, phy sicians, lawyers, clergymen, editors, Judges, and prominent citizens generally of this and other States ; the failing health 'of the prisoner ; the destitute condition of his aged parents, wife and children ; and lastly, the Governor's firm belief of his innocence. The pardon concludes itiAlie following words " And whereas, after a full and careful exam ination of the facts and evidence in the case, aided by the scientific discussions to which it has given rise, (without any intention to reflect upon the prosecutrix, who no doubt testified to what she believed did occur—nor to impugn the integrity of the learned, Judge who tried the case, nor the honesty • of the jury who con victed the prisoner,) I am now sotqicil that the defendant, Dr. Stephen T. Boole, is not guilty of the crime whereof he stands charged, and was convicted upon evidence unreliable in its character and insufficient in amount." o:7'lt is new said that lion. Geo. M. Dallas is not eligible to the office of President of the United States. He was born in the West In dies, where his parents emigrated from Scot land. .He came to this country with his pa rents when he was about nine months of ago. • VitrEngland.' Be footalarmed,; gentle reader, though the newspapers talc abent a-war with England, we feel - quite ass4d thit hostilities between the United States and the mother country will only manifest thethaelves on paper. , It has become a fashion in this country to raise the cry of war at the least cloud that darkens our nation al horizon. We are too Apt to consider our nation insulted when no insult was intended ; too apt to administer a hasty chastisement or exhibit a Warlike spirit when the occasion does not require it. But to the indications of war: The beginning of the matter was the sending of a few war steamers, Which had composed a part of the Baltic fleet, to the West Indies, either for winter quarters, or for the purpose of strengthening the British force there during the troubles in Central America—or probably for the purpose of putting a stop to the numerous Cuban fillibustering expeditions that set out from this country. For many years the Brit ish Government claimed and exercised a sort of protectorate over what was called the Mosquito Kingdom, of which San. Juan or Greytown is the principal town. For some few years this has been abandoned, though a nominal sover eignty was 'still claimed. At the present time Greytown and most of the country is under the control of Col. Kinney and his companions, who have succeeded in planting themselves there in the face of all obstacles, and will soon Ameri canize the country—and prepare it for the fur ther extension of the " area of freedom." Eng land looks distrustfully upon this movement, fearing that the next step will be the acquisi tion of Cuba to the United States, a proceeding to which she has a strong objection. She has also taken the alarm at what she supposes to be. designs upon the island of Hayti, and says that if the American Government does not or will not put a stop to Tillibustering, she will. Another difficulty has also been raised in re gard to the - alleged violation of the neutrality laws, by the enlistment of soldiers for the British army m our seaports, the prevention of which by the American Government, together with-the exposure of the complicity.of the Brit ish Minister at Washington, seems to have sorely wounded the Tanity of the rulers of that country. The London Times also assumes that expedi tions are at this moment fitting out in America for the invasion of Cuba and Ireland, and inti mates that our government is - too imbecile to prevent the departure of these expeditions. For these reasons England is going to step in and do what our government cannot—prevent the violation of its own laws. The Tunes says : "it is the misfortune of the American Re public that she does not possess an organiza tion sufficiently powerful to crush these crimi nal attempts. That which she cannot do, we are compelled, at least so far as the lawless en terprises directed again" ourselves go, to do for her." Well now, this sounds amusing to yankee ears. We Americans have no notion of thrash•, ing Johnny Bull on account of the naughty tricks of Kinney, Walker, or any of the chief fillibustering,movers, but if we were so dispos ed it could be done as certain as fate. War is not a thing to be desired. and every patriot would deprecate such a calamity, but when war does come, that nation does not exist, and never did exist, since the dawn of creation that could whip the Americans. The United States can arm and equip tln•ce minions of as brave soldiers as ever won a field ; one hundred thou sand men is a mighty army, but we have the material for thirty such armies, and of a kind of men who have shown themselves superior to the bravest and best soldiers of England. The British Government has a perfect right to pre vent, even L `n mid ocean, any &Scent of an armed force upotr Ireland, but it has no right to send its fleet into the waters of the West In dies to control the action of our Government there—to coerce els in abandoning an attempt to purchase Cuba from Spin. Puffed up with h'er alliance with France she may attempt the consummation of designs that will inevitably draw down vengeande upon her own head. The American Government, is sensitive to any inter ference in its concerns by a foreign power, and is able to repel such interference with a dignity becoming a powerful and independent Republic. England can ill afford to risk a war with the United States. She would be crippled on all sides by our navy, while our land forces would repel any force that she, could bring against us. Why, they are even now, in their present pov .erty of men aniline:ins, obliged to send sneak ing recruiting officials to our country to beg our vagabonds for soldiers. rAnd besides the peril in which a war would place her colonies, her best market for goods would be cat off, and the supply of raw material which feeds her manufactories would at once cense. She could better afford to go to war with Prance than . the United States. The United States is not to be hurried by bluster into any warlike action ; but should the English Cabinet attempt to back up the tone of the Times, Victoria's organ, by any demonstration of force in our waters, we feel pretty sure that Brother Jonathan• will stop whaling sticks and talking politics, and taking his ride and six shooter in hand, will be ready to give a good account of himself _on the very Shortest notice, and in the most effective way. It is fortunate for the peace of the two coun tries, that our consciousness of power renders us less liable to sudden affront than formerly, and that in the present weakness of England she calls far more fbr our sympathy than anger. A WO LAN StrimmlNG TIM MISSISSIPPI. Lloyd's forthcoming Steamboat Directory gives a thrilling instance of the necessity for women knowing. how to swim. When . the ill-fated Ben Sherrod Was in llamas' on the Mississippi River, and the lady passengers who had thrown themselves into the water were drowning around the boat, the wife of Captain Castleman jtimped into the river,. with her infant in her arms, and swam ashore, a distance of half a mile, being the only. woman saved out of six teen. She had learned to swim when a girl. • north Whitehall rreeOlierst Aosoolatloir. North IVhitehall, Nov. i6th, '1855 Mr. Editor :—Permit me to notice in your columns the organization of the North Whitehall Teachers' Association. This body organized some time ago, but by a singular• coalition of adverse circumstances, has been prevented from enjoying regular meetings, and consequently also prevented from making public its exist ence. But at a regular meeting, held on Saturday the 10th inst., it was on motion agreed to publish the proceedings, as well of that meeting, as the report of the Executive Committee, which, constitutes the ensiness of the next meeting. At the meeting on Saturday the 10th inst., three essays were read, as well as an address delivered before the association by A. Steckel. An essay upon the best method of teaching Grammar, was read by H. H. Schwartz, A.B. Ono upon the - best method of teaching Geogra; phy, by W. F. A. Kohler, and also a produc tion in the form of an essay was read by 11. R. Rhoads, subject,--The Teacher. It was a master composition, full of truth, and redounds much credit on the author. Upon the two for mer essays, a general discussion of the subjects followed, which educed considerable light, and was copiously enjoyed by the participants. According to the report of the Executive Committee, the business of the next meeting will consist of two addresses,—one in the Ger man language, by Mr. F. G. Berndt, 50 the other in the English language, by Mr. W. F. A. Kohler. Also essays upon corporal punish ment in schools, will be written by Messrs. Charles F. Pflueger, and Thomas W. Benner. After the reading of the essays, the subject of corporal punishment will be taken up and dis cussed. • A general attendance of the friends of educa tion and of Common Schools in particular. is requested, as the discussion is expected to elicit some new features for the disciplinary of schools. While writing this article it may not be amiss to express the desire of the Association to co operate in a movement for calling a county convention in order to form a Teachers' Insti tute of Lehigh County. The Association makes this general call, and waits for a response from the sister associations that have been, and are about being formed in the County. The next meeting of this asso ciation will be on Saturday the Ist of Decem ber, at 2 o'clock P. M. Amos STECKEL, Cor. Secretary LATRit FROM Emtort.—By the arrival at New York of the steamship North Star, ive have news from Europe one day later. From the Crimea there is nothing new, except that there is a great movement as Sitnpheropol, many of the inhabitants removing north, and all the hospitals being removed to Perekop, NiColaief and Cherson. Provisions were un commonly dear nt Simpheropol. The Santhnl insurrection in India is still unsubdued, but the depredations of the insurgents were fewer and within very confined limits. A large and heav ily armed piratical fleet has been destroyed or dispersed north of Shanghae by a Bt:itish cruiser. The arrival of the Canada puts us in posses sion of foreign news one week later. The ex citement in England. in relation to a war with the United States, had abated. There is noth ing new from the seat of war, excepting unre liable rumors of battles near Perekop and Simp heropol, and the bombardment of Nicolaieff Peace rumors aro numerous, but unreliable, Strenuous efforts have been made to bring Sweden into the alliance. Unfriendly relations are arising between England and Spain. The excitement in England respecting a war with the United States had quite subsided, and the leading journals, ashamed of the panic they created, attempt to excuse it, and let them selves down gently by attributing what they call the hostile'attitude of the A merican Govern ment to an election ruse on the part of the Pre sident and his Cabinet, although it is notorious that the excitement was begun, fostered and kept alive by the London Times. Anxiety is now manifested to learn how the news of the excitement and the comments of the Times w,ill be received in America. Intel ligent Englishman, of all ranks, express 'them selves pained and humiliated by the whole affair. LARGE TREES.—There are are now standit on the premises of John and Mahlon Carver, in Byberry township, Penn., an elm tree that measures. 25 feet in circumference one foot from the ground, and the trunk retains its size with little diminution for over 30 feet, where the limbs branch out. A carious incident is con nected with the history of this tree, in the fact, that the farm on which it stands was taken by patent from Wm—Penn, by John Carver, who came over with him from England, and that the premises have regularly descended from father to son by will, and always to 'John Carver', of which the seventh of the name resides thereon at the present time. It is doubtful whether there is any other property in this country which has never been sold. There is also grow ing on the premises two pear trees which came from England, with the original John Carver, one of which has a plentiful crop of pears at the present time. There is also standing on the premises of Al fred Worthington, in the same township, a chestnut tree that measures one foot from the ground, 28 feet in circumference, and six feet from the ground, 25 feet 8 inches.. This tree retains its full vigor, and is probably the larg est tree in this country.—Germantown Tel. To MAKE YEAST.—Take one handful of hops, one apple, ono potato sliced, boil in two quarts of water ; while hot strain 01l and stir in wheat flour until it is as thick as paste—coarse flour is best. Grate one large apple, one large po tato°, place them in a gallon jar, pour in the batter when sufficiently cool, add a little yeast, in twelve hours it will be fit for use. A lisamurent.E -MAl.r.—A correspondeht of the , Kentucky §`latesman gives the following sketch of an -old citizen in Pulaski County, named ELIJAH DENY, whols, perhaps, the old est man in Kentucky : He was 118 years of age on the 10th'of September, and is as active as many men of 40. 'He works daily upon a farm, and throughout his whole life he has been an early riser. lie informed the writer thaS. be had never drank but one cup of coffee, and that was in the year 1848. 'He served seven years in the war of the Revolution, and was wound ed at the siege of Savannah and at the battle of Eutaw Springs ; he was also present at the battles of Camden, King's Mountain and Monk's Corner. Ho .served under Col, norm . and Col. MAsrox, and was an eye witness Of the sufferings and death of Cot ISAAC' H.tTNE, of South Carolina, an early victim of the Re volution. He is sprightly and active, an. would be taken at any time to be . a 4 middle age. He is a strict member the Bap tist church, and rides six miles to eve meeting of his church. He has four sons and five daughters, all living, the eldest bei g now in hie seventy-eighth and the youngest in his fifty first year. Such is a brief sketch of this aged soldier and republican, who is, perhaps, the only surviving soldier of FRANCIS MARION, SUMPTER and Houar. '' MILLARD FILLMORR.-At a recent large meet ing of Americans at the Trappe, Montgomery county, a series of resolutions were adopted, among which was the following : Resolved, That we hail with pride the name of Millard Fillmore, guaranteed as we arc by his past defence of the Union, that we may recognize in his electionto the Presidency of these United States, a man unto whoip every American may look with confidence for the future peace of our country and welfare of her institutions. The sentiment of this resolution is that of a very large portion of the American people. They can never forget the propriety and dignity of the course of Mr. Fillmore, under circum stances as trying ns any man could well have been placed in. They look back to his admin istration with satisfaction,2 as one of these periods to which American history can proudly point, and when they consider all that has since happened to mortify the nation, it is not sur prising that they should look to Mr. Fillmore as a man to whom the honor and interests of the country may again be safely entrusted.— Evening Bulletin.

SALT MANCFACITILED7ITiTHACUSE.- As was predicted some six months ago, the quantity of salt manufactured the present season at the Onandaga Salt Works. Syracuse, N. Y., will reach 6,000,000 bitshels. If other salts in this country furnish in proportion, the partial fail ure of the crop in the West Indian Islands will not materially affect the supplies in mar ket. The average annual product of solar and fine salt iA about 5,500,000 bushels, showing an excess the present season• of 500,000. The average price will be about $1 40 per barrel, making The whole crop worth $1,600,000,. The salt manufactured at these springs is of a su perior quality, and generally finds a good mar ket; if, hon ever, sales aro small, the price never falls below $1 25 per barrel of 280 lbs.

HOW LONG THE WAR HAS 1./ASTEDI—The war in Europe is already two years old. The Rua; sian ambassador left' Constantinople on• the 224 May, 1853, and on the of 4th June the English and French fleets received orders to approach the Dardanelles, and they anchored in Be sika Bay. On the 26th ofJune the Emperor of Russia ordered his army to occupy the Princi palities. On the 14th of September two French and two English war steamers, from the fleet at Besika Bay, went to Constantinople.
