A short time ago, as some workmen were engaged in constructing a highway to the so called Sand-Bank, above the Slate Dam, in North Whitehall township, this county, they dug up in a narrow, and heretofore almost in accessible vale, at the base of a high range of rocks, in close proximity to the Lehigh, a quan tity of curious old coins, consisting of seventeen pieces. They are somewhat smaller than a Spanish dollar, and consist of a mixture of sil ver and copper,—about 3 per cent. of the for mer. The Arabic characters and Moslem de vices, with which the coins are figured, were', wholly unknown to any person hereabout, and gave rise to many curious conjectures. Some. even thought they might have been in circula tion in Noah's time. Finally, to satisfy curi osty, ono was sent to Reading, for examination by aNumismatologist, who pronounced it to be a Turkish copper coin, called a " Yuzlik," or 21 piastres, of the value of 7 cents in American currency: On one side is a half moon, and ci pher or name of the Sultan Mahmoud. On the other side is an Arabic inscription, meaning "24—struck at Constantinople 1223." The numerals, 24, denote the year of the Sultan's • reign, and ".1223" the year of Mahomet, mak ing the age of the coin but 24 years, having been struck in A. D., 1832. This was a very singular discovery, as previous to tho construe- tion of the Railroad the place was almost im penetrable. By whom the coins were buried there will probable forever remain clouded in „mystery. The Street Sprinkler commenced operations last week, in Hamilton street, between Sixth and Eighth, and is doing good service in alliying the dust. The work, according to our judgment, is done in a better manner than ever heretofore, but as the sub scriptions arc barely remunerative, they should be increased so as to secure a continuation of the work in the manner in which it was corn znencel. The Dog Law hi Force. Tho Town-council on the 23rd put in force the ordinance " Regulating Dogs," for the pe riod of ninety days, and all dogs found running at large IVithin that time, without secure wire muzzles, will be shot. This was a good move, as Hydrophobia prevails in various sections of the County. Several dogs were bitten, week before last, by one reported to be mad, but whether they were disposed of wo have not heard. Too great care cannot be taken of dogs of this description, when a . little carelessness, may lead to such horrible consequences. Horllcullurul LxhjUillon. We to-day publish the list of premiums and regulations for the first Floral and 'Horticultu ral Exhibition of the Agricultural Society, to be held on Wednesday and Thursday, the 18th and 19th of June. The fine growing weather we now have will enable our people to turn out creditable specimens of early fruits and flowers, and we hope to see a display worthy of the place and occasion. If it is got up in the way it ought to be, and as the Managers design, it cannot fail to prove interesting and satisfactory .to those who may attend. Lady Equestrian-, ism and Driving is also a newfeaturo connect ed with this EXhibition, and the prizes offered' will' doubtles4 induce a spirited competition. The trotting course, which is at present under going grading and enlargement' to a third of a mile, will be finished in time for the Fair, and will alforcl a fine fiuld for the display of skill in this branch. The committellinving charge of the arrangements, we undersrind, are using every exertion on their part, to accommodate contributors and visitors, and %ire look forward with high expectations of its complete success. Closing the Stores. On last Saturday a paper was shown us, signed by all the merchants and business men of, the Borough, agreeing to close their Stores on and after Monday next, precisely at 8 o'clock in the evening. This vas done to release the clerks from their arduous duties. It will un doubtedly prove advantageous to the employ ers, aS the Clerks will feel more energetic after a little recreation iethe evening, and work witli a hearthej good will to get the day's busi ness over, in anticipation of a little enjoyment. Sudden *Death On Monday noon last, the widow of Henry Knauss, dec'd., whir° on her road to convey din ner to ono of her suns at Seip's Brick Yard, fell down in an apoplectic fit near the corner of Sixth anl Chew streets, and expired in about. Ave minutes thereafter. A Coroner's jury was ummoued, and a verdict rendered that she died • as above stated. She was about 52 years of age. I I o op..

Bullies in High Places Scarcely a session of Congress passes away without the enactment of soma disgraceful af fair at Washington, and this, too, between members of that distinguished body. Soon af ter the meeting of Congress ex-Governor. Smith of Virginia had a street-fight with Mr. Wallach, editor of the Star. Then Mr. Rust of Arkan sas—another of the knife and revolver order— won some unenviable notoriety by flogging Ho race Greeley, Esq., a man physically his inferior. Mr. Rust was rewarded by his constituency, for the 'heroic act. They presented him with a silver medal bearing suitable inscriptions, for the distinction he had won as a Congressional bully. More recently, Mr. Herbert ono of the Repre sentatives from California—who appears to con sider a loaded pistol the only proper law for a member of Congress to appeal to—shot down and killed a waiter at his Hotel. The facts at tending this act of ruffianism, as near as they have yet bee l n elicited, appear to be these : Mr. Herbert entered the dining-room one morn ing at half past eleven o'clock, and demanded breakfast. The waiter•whom he addressed, re plied that no meals could be served at that hour without an order from the office. To this Mr. H. retorted with some abusive epithitt. and the waiter—who, we may suppose, was a man, with a man's sense of self-respect, al though occupying the humble situation of a servant—resented the insult in angry words. Upon this the waiter was knocked down with a chair. Other waiters came to the aid of their companion, when a general fight ensued. Find ing himself badly handled, Mr. Iferb6rt drew a pistol and placing it against the breast of ThoinasKeating, the waiter with whom the af fray commenced, shot him dead. Herbert was taken into custody, but no one doubts that he will get clear, because he is a member of Con gress. He will probably be discharged ; the House will,pass the outrage unnoticed or near ly so, and a Congressional bully and an hon orable scoundrel will go unwhipped of justice, while a widowed mother and fatherless child ren will be left to mourn the loss of a 'mur dered husband, parent and protector. It is cer tain that Herbert was the first to provoke- a quarrel. He was armed and the waiter was not, yet if the waiter had killed the member of Congress he would have been gibbeted imme diately by the populace, or at least dangled at a' rope's end in less than three months. On last Thursday afternoon, another brutal and unjustifiable outrage was committed by Mr. Brooks, a Representative from South Caro lina, on Senator Sumner, in the Senate chamber, the particulars of which we give in another col umn. This chivalrous gentleman, it appears, approached Mr. Sumner with accusations of having libelled South Carolina and his gray• headed relative, Mr. Butler, knocked him from his scat with a cane, and beat him upon the head until he lay insensible, and bleeding pro fusely. ➢lust such chapters perpetually blot the character of the highest legislative tribunal of the nation ? It is hardly surprising that Europeans sneer at our customs, when the Capital of the country is transformed into an arena for Congressional . gladiatorial exhibi tions. Kansas AlTairs. New troubles arise almoSt daily in the ill fated territory of Kansas. A new -demonstra tion of" Squatter Sovereignty" has recently oc curred, and accounts from the field of conten tion represent a very dangerous state of things along the Missouri border. We give full par ticulars, up to the latest dates, in another column! The labors of the Congressional Com mittee have been concluded, and the result transmitted to Washington in spite of the ef forts made by the pro-slavery men to intercept the sealed packages of the proceedings which were placed in charge of Gov. Robinson to be delivered at the seat of Government. The very worst reports of aggression on the part of the' Missouri Ruffians are fully substantiated. It was proved that thousands crossed over the Missouri line, into the Territory, for the only purpose of controlling the elections, contending that all .who were* the territory at the time of election had a legal right to vote. All these proceedings appear to be backed up by the ad ministration, for the sole purpose of aiding the introduction of slavery into Kansas. The people of the Territory—or, at least, a very large majority of them—repudiate the authority of the Territorial Government and refuse its laws. That they have a perfect right to do this, upon every principle of justice and in strict accordance with the provisions of the Kansas and Nebraska bill, is to our minds perfectly clear. That bill confers upon them the right to elect their own Legislature, and thus, through their representatives, to make their own laws. Of this right they have been defrauded. The body of rnen which enacted the laws they are called upon to obey was not, in any respect, thia representative Legislature of the Territory of Kansas. On the contrary, they were thrust upon them, in defiance of their wishes end to the exclusion of the men they had elected, by armed bands of invaders from the State of Missouri. Suppose men from Canada _were thus to invade New York,—or suppose men from New Jersey were thus to in vade Pennsylvania, and seat their own tools in their halls of legislation, would any man claim that the people of New, York or of Pennsylva nia were bound to acquiesce, and that resist ance on their part to laws thus - imposed upon thew would be treason and rebellion ?

For the benefit of our readers we subjoin a few remarks, together with a letter from one of our State officers, concerning the privilege of certain persons, in the sale of liquor. Some persons of our county, engaged in this business, are holding erroneous opinions in re spect to their rights under a tavern license, to this eact : that where as person is keeping a tavern and store, that such person would be en titled under the present law to sell by the quart or gallon from the store, while at the same time he was selling by the smaller from the bar. Under a tavern license it will be readily per ceived that if such privilege was granted to per sons thus doing business, that manifest injustice would be done to those who might be selling under a merchant license, which license, under the present law, is ten fold greater than under the preceding one ; while the tavern and store keeper is selling—license free—from the store, and only paying for the tavern privilege. There! aro many in this countx who hold opinions simi lar to the above, which it seems are erroneous. Auditor General's Mice, 1 . narrisburg, February 8, 1858. J Dear Sir.—YouTil letter of the 3d inst. was duly received. In reply I have to state, (in re ference to the matter of -- —,) that if he retails liquor by the quart and gallon, in connection with tnerchandize, he is liable for the amount of license with liquor. His taking out a license for a tavern does not authorise him to make a business of selling liquor by the quart or gallon,—in fact they are two, distinct and separate kinds of business, the keeping of a tavern and selling merchandise with liquor, notwithstanding both may be carried on under the same roof.' lam very respectfully, &c. E. BANKS, And. Gal. Lutheran Synod. The 109th annual session ofthe German Evan gelical Lutheran Synod of Pennsylvania and adjacent Stales, was held in Lancaster during the present week. This is the mother Synod of tile Lutheran Church in the United States. It comprises as numerous andinfluential a body of Christians, as ,constitutes any ecclesiastical, organization in the country. The sessions were held in the Lutheran Trinity Church, of which Rev. G. F. Krotel, is the pastor, one of the largest and most attractive church edifices in the country. There were over 100 clergymen in attendance, with a numerous lay representa tion, for by the Church government of the Lu therans, the laity enjoy the most liberal and ac tive participation in all its affairs.! Rev. Benjamin Keller, of Philadelphia, was chosen President of Synod ; Rev. J. Vogelbach, of Allentown, Secretary; Rev. A. T.*Geissen !miner, of Trenton, Assistant Secretary ; Rev. O. W. Schaeffer, of Germantown, Treasurer. Reading and Lehigh Rail Road. We are gratified to learn, says the Reading Journal, that one-tenth of the capital stock of this company has already been subscribed, which authorizes an immediate organization, when our citizens generally will be asked to take part in the stock. A survey of the route has been made by M. E. Lyons, Esq., and his report is about being published. We under stand that the ground is unusually favorable to the making of a road, and with none of those impediments which must in many caps be over come at so much cost. Tho road can be made cheaply and quickly ; the enterprise is in good hands, and it . deserves the hearty co-operation of our citizens. Supplying, as it does, the only link wanting between the great western roads and those leading to New York, it cannot fail I to pay, and the only wonder is that a road which is so obviously necessary and which I must prove so profitable an investment, was so long delayed for want of a charter. Complexion of the Cincinnati Convention. The New York Herald, after a careful analy sis of the predilections of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention, divides the Convention thus :—Mr. Pierce 107, Mr. Buch anan 01, Mr. Douglas 48, Mr. Hunter 5, Mr. Dickinson 1. New, York and Missouri are not taken into the account, inasmuch as both these States send two sets of delegates. The New York Softs are said to be partial to Mr. Buch anan, and the Hards are certainly opposed to Mr: Pierce, so that, no matter which set is ad-. milted, it will not hold Mr. Pierce as its first choice. The Benton faction in Missouri is also favorable to Buchanan, and the . old liners may be likewise, for aught we know. At all events, Mr. 11. seems to stand the best chance for a nomination—but not having a two-third ma jority, rossibly some obscure man may again be put in nomination. Col. Frethout. The St. Louis Intelligence). is inclined to the opinion that the moveinent among a portion of the Republicans of the North and West in fa vor of the nomination of John Charles Fremont, as the standard bearer for the Presidency, will produce a split among them. Our cotempora ry says : • This movement is not at all acceptable to the ultra anti slavery men of the free States ; And we should not .be at all surprised to sed a great schism, in the Republican party, resulting in the use of his name. The more moderate men of the Republican movement will strive, by pro claiming for Fremont to resume a more healthy national position than they have heretofore held. It is thought that the entire anti• Pierce and Douglas Deinocracy of the country will be wil ling to unite on Fremont. It is mien supposed that the Diekinson and Bronson Democrats of New Yorlc will sustain Fremont against either Pierce or Douglas. o_i"There are sixtyone batteries, castles and forts on our coast, which• it requires a force. of thirty thousand, four hundred men to equip w•it t war garrisons. They mount 6,198 guns, and cost. the government $21,172,186. The amount required to ccrinplete them is $6,436,- 732. (U - Among . the late arrivals at one of the St. Louis hotels is one that reads—" E. Smith and four wives, Salt Lake." Presidential Tyranny. The Philadelphia North American says that " scarcely a monarch in Rurope would dare to hazard the security of his throne by such out rageous tyranny as has been for the last two years, practised upon the unoffending settlers of Kansas by the order of President Pierce, for the sake of gaining for 'him a sufficient popularity at the South to procure his re-nomination for the Presidency." This is strictly true ; and it cannot be that the people of the United States will long tamely submit to such gross and un mitigated tyranny and wrong. The grievances suffered by our fathers under the 'parent gov ernment, which led to the Revolution, did not approximate in enormity the shocking outrages which have been perpetrated under the official protection and encouragement of President Pierce. This subversion of law and justice cannot go on much longer. One act of tyran ny will lead to another' to sustain it, until offi cial wrongs become unendurable by those even who now, under the force of party drill, sus tain them ; and the wrong-doers will be check ed and rebuked, if the people have to do it at a cost which now startles the thoughtful to con template. Those who hold the reins of govern= inent may think they are intriguing successful ly to take the power from the hands of the peo ple, and that freedom is already throttled ; but in the hour when they think not, a power will arise in the consecrated name of liberty, to res cue the nation from its oppressors.—Exchange. Gross Outrage In the U. S. Senate. ASHINGTON, May 22. Immediately after the adjournment of Con gress to-day, while Mr. Sumner was still in the Senate chamber; Mr. Brooks, of South Caro lina, entered, and approached Mr. Sumner, ac cusing him of libelling South Carolina. and his gray-headed relative, Mr. Butler.. Mr. Brooks then immediately struck Mr. Sumner with his cane, and Mr. S. fell. Mr. Brooks repeated his blows until Mr. Sumner was deprived of the power of speech. When he desisted, Mr. Sum ner was taken up and carried to his room. It has not been ascertained whether his injuries are serious or not. When the attack was made Mr. Sumner called for help, but no one interfered until Mr. Brooks ceased the assault. Some, who were eye-witnesses of the occur renee,,say Mr. Brooks struck Mr. Sumner as many asjifty times over the head. Mr. Sum ner was sitting in an arm-chair when the as sault was made, and had no opportunity to de fend himself. Opinions on' the subject are contradictory, many applauding the act, and others denouncing it as a cowardly attempt to beat down freedom of speech. It will undoubt edly give rise to an excited debate in the Senate' to-morrow. Mr. Brooks has been arrested. The complaint against Mr. Brooks was made on the oath of William Y. Leader. Mr. Brooks appeared before Justice flollingshead, and was held to bail in $5OO, for his appearance to-mor row afternoon. Mr. Sumner has two severe, but not danger ous wounds, on the head. Mr. Brooks' cane was shattered into a number of pieces. SECOND DESPATCM—Washington, May 22. When the attack was made upon Mr. Sum ner, there were probably from fifteen to twenty persons present, including Messrs. Crittenden, Foster, Toombs, Fitzpatrick, Murray, Morgan, and other members of Congress, Gov. Gorman, and several officers of the Senate, and stran gers. The attack was so sudden and unex pected, that Mr. Sumner had no opportunity to place himself in a defensive attitude. The first blow stunned him, and the stick, which was gutta percha, was broken into many pieces by the time the assault terminated. Messrs. Crittenden, Toombs, Murray and others interfered as soon as they could, and probably prevented further injury. Great ex citement was caused by the occurrence. Mr. Sumner sank to the floor, where ho lay till he was raised by his friends. Mr. Sumner's wounds bled profusely. His physicians say they are the' most serious flesh wounds they ever saw on a man's head, and deny his friends admission to him. The assailant, Preston S. Brooks, is a Re piesentative in the house from the Fourth Con gressional. District of South Carolina, embrac ing Orangeburg, Barnwell, Beaufort and Col !der Districts. Content Affec lon. 'The men must h 3 e ore jus ice done to them in the matter of affection. A young German; who came to Ohio seventeen years ago, was be trothed to a fair young girl in his own country, but they were too poor to marry. After he.had been here a short time their letters were inter rupted, and the girl becoming an orphan, mar ried another, and had three children, when her husband died, leaving her destitute, and she went to the_ poor house. Meantime our hero worked hard and kept his faith till he had earned enough" to justify him in: returning to Gdrmany to see whether his betrothed was false or dead. The facts did not change his true heart, and ho married her and biought her and her children to his little home in Ohio.

Important from Kansas. Sr. Lows, May 19.—We 'have Kansas dates to the 14th inst. Sheriff Jones was then con valescent. George F. Brown, editor of the Herald of Freedom, had been arrested while en deavoring to leave the torritiiry. Governor Reeder had fled, but it Was thought would be re-captured. Judge Pane, of Georgia, had been appointed Sheriff' until Jones should resume his duties. It was reported that Judge Fane had been shot at tvifiCe. It was said there were 1,500 men at Law rence, armed with Sharpo's rifles, with a strong ly fortified breastwork and two pieces of artille ry, who declared, that they will resist all at tempts at their arrest. About 1,000 men have responded to the Marshal's proclamation, and are encamped in the vicinity of Lawrence and Lecompton, the avowed purpose being to compel the people of Lawrence to acknowledge the Territorial laws. LATER.—Sr. LOUIS, May 20.—A steamer arrived hero last night from St. Joseph's on Friday, 16th, bringing intelligence that large numbers had responded to the proclamation of Gov. Shanon and the United States Marshal, and a battle was anticipated shortly. 600 men were assembled at Lecompton and 400 at Franklin. A large • company were to leave Kickapoo on Saturday for Lecompton, with two cannon. They are all well armed and provi sioned. It is reported that Ex Governor Ree der succeeded in making his escape, carrying away with him a considerable amount of funds belonging to friends. The Vigilance Committee of Kansas city on Saturday took off from the steamer Arabia a large field piece consigned to Lawrence. STILL LATER.--CIIICAGO Wednesday, May 2 Dates from Leavenworth, Kansas, to Satur• day last aro received. Wednesday (to-day) had been fixed upon for the attack on Law rence. There is a general reign of terror in the Territory. Two cannon had crossed the River at Chison, destined for Lawrence. Be- FORD'S companywere enrolled in the militia, and furnished United ,Sates arms by Governor SILINNON. The Free-State men want arms and ammunition. DorravosoN, the United States Marshal, has proclaimed his intention to make clean work of what he has to do this time. Gov. ROBINSON is still at Lexington. -The correspondent of the Jefferson (Mo.) En quirer states that a petition is being circulated .in the Border Counties, praying forlho immedi ate removal of Col. SUMNER. Mr. BROWN, Editor of the Herald of Freedom, writes that a mob entered the hotel at Kansas City, where he was staying, and dragged off a man whom they supposed to be himself. On discovering their mistake they returned and demanded him of the proprietor, who refused to deliver him up to them. A company of I Michigan emigrants then entered the hotel to protect the occupants. , The mob were still surrounding the hotel and gathering reinforce ments at the close of his letter. No authentic intelligence has been received concerning his (BROWN'S) fate since his capture. The Kansas correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes, under date of the 16th inst., that eight to twelve hundred men were encamp. ed near Lecompton. The people of Lawrence had sent a note to Col. SUMNER, asking him to station a body of troops in the vicinity to prevent the mob from proceeding to sanguinary extremities. He de• chned, saying he had no power to move with out orders. • Mr. Cox, of Lawrence, waited on Marshal DONALDSON, to ascertain if anything could be done peaceably to prevent his monster posse en. tering the town. Mr. DONALDSON said their demands must bo complied with ; that ever man against whom a process was issued should be surrendered ; that.all munitions of war in Lawrence should be delivered up ; and that the citizens of Lawrence should pledge themselves, under oath, to implicitly obey the enactments under which the Territory is governed: Upon receipt of this the citizens held a meet ing, and drew up a letter to the Marshal, stat ing that any person acting under him would be allowed to execute legal process against any in habitarit of Lawrence; and that if called upon they would serve as a posse in aiding the ar rest.; that there would not now or at any future time be any resistance to the law, and that they only awaited an opportunity to testifly their fl delity to the Union and the Constitution. They claimed to be law-abiding, order-loving citi zens, and asked the protection of the constitu ted authorities. ;'The purport of the Marshal's answer was, that he did not believe the promises of the pee. ple of Lawrence ; that ho regarded them as re bels and traitors, and that they should know what his demands were when ho came.
