THE LEHIGH TIEGISTETI. ALLENTOWN, PA. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1856 O. F. HAINES, EDITOE 13:7" , Limon" was unavoidably crowded out this week. Mr. Buchanan's Position. The position of Mr. Buchanan is no very pleasant one. On taking his seat in the Presi dential chain it will be expected of him that he will pursue the same course followed by Presi dent Pierce in regard to the government of Kansas. The Slave Power demands this, and unless its expectations are realized a disruption will be the consequence. Extension of slavery or disunion is the cry of the South, and if by this scarecrow they can„suceeed in making' the Executive a pliant instrument to carry on their dirty business, their ends will be reached. Bu chanan cannot fail to see that he is a President of the South ; that the North is against Lim ; that he must take a conservative course, as the only safe ground to save his friends at the North and escape the vengeance cf his partizans and the South. The South wants the balance of power re stored to them in the Senate, which California gave to the free States. As an offset they pro pose that Kansas shall be a slave State, and for every additional free State they demand an ad ditional slave State. Some consolation might be drawn from this proposal if it would satisfy the greedy slave extensionists. But when once the balance of power is restored, they will be pretty sure to keep it, making. such use of it that there will be no end to slavery aggression. If we give them a foot they want a mile ; if we give up one State, they want another ; if we al low them to catch slaves in the free States they will soon want to bring them here to labor And so their unnatural longing for the " bal ance of power" will keep on until there shall be nothing more to ask for, or till an indignant people shall arise in - their might and declare that thus far they shall go, and no farther, and the rights -of a free people shall no longer be imposed upon. Perhaps Mr. Buchanan by some ingenkous course of statesmanship, can reconcile the northern and southern wings of the democracy, so that all that is asked of both will be, nomi nally at least, obtained, but by what act o jugglery this is to be tilhoted, if it cau be effec ed, it is difficult to conceive. A New Territory. Another Territory is about to be organized by a portion of inhabitants of New Mexico. On the Ist of September, an election was held at vari ous points in the Gadsden Purchase for dele gates to the Territorial Legislature of New Mexico, and for a delegate to Congress. The latter, it is expected, will present to Congress a petition for the separation of the' Gadsden purchase from the northern part of New Mex ico, and the erection of an independent Terri torial Government. To this post. Mr. IL P. Cook was chosen. llow much of New Mexico they desire to have included within the new Territory, we are not informed ; but the advo cates of the separation say that the country is naturally divided, by the intervention of deserts and mountains, into two States of Governmen tal jurisdictions. he Gadsden purchaSe, or Arrizonia, as the residents sometimes style it, contains a total population of perhaps a thou sand persons, of whom one•half are Indians, and a third Mexicans of a very low class.— The rest ni•o. Americans and Germans. The principal village is Tucson (Tooksone,) which aspires to he the capital of the new State.— There is a fort in the vicinity of the place, with a small gari icon of United States troops. The 11, rportlonment A ne w apportionment of our State into Sena• tonal and Representative Districts will have to be'ntade by the Legislature which meets next month, and the Reading Gozeile, whose edi tor, J. Lawrence Getz, Esq., belongs to that body, thinks that with a Democratic ma-. jolity in the house, on Opposition inquiry in the Senate, and a Governor who is claimed by the so-called " American" p-(rty, it is not possible that a bill can be framed to secure the concurrence of these conflicting interests, with out considerable difficulty and delay. The ses sion, therefote, for this cause alone, is likely to be a long one. Representatives are apportion ed iu (he ratio of one member to every lion• ilredth part of the whole number of taxable in habitants in the State. What this total 'is we cannot know until the Auditor General makes his annual report to the Legislature. Last year it was 56.5,000, and this year the Pittsburg Gdzruc thinks ii will be probably not far-from 580,900, which would give 5800 as the ratio. That paper also says that the amendments to the Conttitntion now pending, and which will come before the ensuing Legislature, propose to change the rule of representation so as to per mit the city of Philadelphia and such other cit ies as are large enough for that purpose, to be cut up into single representative districts. Election of United States Senator Our State net of July 2, 1830. Fixed the sec. and Tuesday of January for election of U. S. Senator, but the act of April 18. 1853. changed the time to the second Tuesday of February. The act of Janiutry 4, 1856, repealed the act of 1833 ; so that the election of U. S. Senator will take •place on the second Tuesday of January next, the 13th. Nebraeka. An election for members of the Territorial Legislature has just been held in Nebraska. and we learn from the Wyo Ming (K. T.) that though party lines were not drawn ihe members chosen, so far as heard from.• are nearly all strong Free State men. The editor of the Nebraska City News, a pro slavery pa per, was defeated. Nicartiglta. Walker is carrying on whit a high hat din is country. He orders men t.) be shot down for the smallest offences, and conducts a- war ' on the most barbarous principles, shooting his prisoners in retalliation for aggrievances on the other side, which are not always of a similar character. In every sense of the word, he is a savage ; he does not attempt to rule by justice or love, but by sheer brute force, resorting to powder and steel ns his Primo Ministers in the administration of affairs. His own word is law, and disobedience to his edicts is punished•with death. A reckless adventurer who ran away from an indictment and the halter or prison in • his own country,' he uses the power he has usurped in a strange land to oppress those under him. In consequence of a quarrel between Gen. Goicouria and President Walker, we have a startling expose of the real objects of Walker's operations, showing hint to be quite a mod ern Napoleon in designs, if not in actions. It seems that Gen. Goicouria, a native Cuban patriot, and a man of character, joined Gen. Walker last spring, upcn the condition and promise of the latter that he would help the in vasion of Cuba as soon as he had settled him self firmly in Nicaragua. Recently he commis sioned the General as agent to go to England, with a view of securing from the British Gov ernment the port of San Juan, (Greytewn,) which would give them a naval force in the Ca ribbean Sea—precisely the thing most needed for a successful invasion of Cuba. When the General arrived in New York, Walker sent him a letter, in which he " showed his hand." Walker it seems, had not before let the General into his views, but in the letter alluded to, lie announces his plan of a southern Slave Republic, and the capture of Cuba for annexation to it. In his letter, which Gem Goicouria has publish ed, Walker sayS You can do more than any American could possibly accomplish, because you can make the British Cabinet see that we are not engaged in any scheme for annexation. You can make them see that the only way to cut the expand ing and expansive Democracy,of the North, is by a powerful and compact Southern Federation based on a military principle. Cuba must and shall be free—but not for the Yankees. Oh, no ! that fine country is not fit for those bar barous Yankees ! What would such a Psalm singing set do in the Island ?" Gen. Goicouria, it seems, did not choose to become a party to any such schemes. lle de sired the independence of Cuba, and was also in favor of the annexation to the United States. He wrote as much to Walker, whereupon the latter removed him as Agent to England. The General then published his letter. Tho Farmor's High School The farm selected by the State Agricultural Society fur the Farmer's High School, is located in Centre county, twenty miles .from Spruce I Creek Station on P. R. It., and thirteen miles from Bellefonte, the county seat, and as near a geographical centre of the State as was prac ticable. It is at the head of Spruce Creek and Centre Valley, with a Southern and Eastern exposure, slightly rolling, in a most beautiful region of country. • The amount of land for the farm is 400 acres, 200 acres of which was donated by Gen. James Irvin, of Centre county. The other 200 acres were purchased from the same gentleman at $6O per acre, payable in five years. The improvements on the property now are a harp which is nearly completed, 72 feet front, 50 feet wide, 24 feet high from the cellar wall to the square, with wings extending back 44 feet, which is intended for corn-cribs, wagon. house, etc. The whole building is well lir . - ranged, and well finished, at a cost of .$3,500. A faim-house is under construction, of which we have not got the particulars, but had the appearance of being plain and comfortable, without any unnecessary cost or finish. The main building is put under contract and work commenced. It is to be 300 feet front. 50 feet deep and four stories high, with accommo• dntions for four hundred scholars. Each Congressional District of the State is to have an equal number of scholars, and no dis trict will be allowed any more than its pro rota of students, unless some °ther districts do not send their full number. The time altogether for full course of study will be four ycnt:s : at an annual cost to the student of about $75 : no scholar admitted un der sixteen years of age. ' 111:7Indiana has gone stronger pro-slavery than any other Not them State: There is nn reason for disappointment. The white native citizens of Indiana, over twenty years of age, who could not read and write in 1850. num bored 09,440,—greater than the same class numbered in any other State. North or South, except Virginia and North Carolina, and more than double the number New York contained, with three times the population. The vote of Indiana is thus accounted for. But the future promises well. The census from which we get the above facts, shows that at the same time:. Indiana had 220.901 children attending schools, but a few hundred less than the number sent by Massachusetts, and fully in proportion with the number sent by New York. Ohio. Conn, cticut. Maine, Vermont and any other great Republi can State. The rising generation will redeem Indiana in duo time. Saving the Union.

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, D'bCEMBEIC 3, 1856. Expense of the Prosidortial Elution It is computed that the cost of the Presiden tial election just over will exceed twenty-fire niilllons of dollars—all of it the voluntary offer ing of the people. to secure the 'choice of such a President as they desire to see elected. The aggregate is much more likely to exceed this es timate than to full below it—as it does not in elude the money raised by exertion upon office holders, or contributed in large sums by can didates, to be used for purposes less legitimate, but more costly. Much of it goes into the hands of working men,—printers, laborers, and others, who fairly earn it. But immense amounts go to fill the pockets of political gam blers and swindlers, who look upon a Presi dential election as the harvest of their profes shin. Speculation is rife in certain quarters as to who will be honored with places in the new Cabinet. It is stated upon good authority that Mr. Buchanan has not yet given the slighest intimation as to whom he will select. His pur pose is to keep himself entirely. uncommitted until he has full and fair opportunity of con sultation and reflection, and the motive of re serve will no longer exist. 07" No less than four new States will pro bably be knocking for admission into the Union at the next session of Congress, to wit: Ore gon, Utah. Kansas and Minnesota. Some dif ficulty may be apprehended in regard to the " peculiar institution" of Utah. • U' There are more free colored people in the Southern States than at the North. by a very large majority, notwithstanding their exposures to danger, as numbers Of them are kidnapped and sold into Slavery every year. The reason is, the ne,;ro naturally loves a warm climate. and will seek a home in one if he can. It is only stern necessity that drives him to a cold country. Many persons do not scent to be aware of the fact. A SINGING MOUSE.—We were shown this morning, a living curiosity, in the shape of a mouse, which possessed and exercised musical powers somewhat similar to a Canary bird. It was captured a few weeks since at No. 329 Broad street near Fair, 1)% a gentleman, who, while sick made it quite tame, and was accus tomed to hear it sing every day, sometitnes for hours without ceasing. It is in appearance similar to a common house mouse, and was first heard on the shelves in the store, and subse quently appeared in the gentleman's sleeping room. The sountt produced are of a varied character, and denote most distinctly the pres ence of not only fear, distress, but contentment and pleasure. Its voice is not very loud nor powerful. but still posses: ca conmidirable corn paso, and the transitions from one note to an other arc made withsemarkable grace and Ac curacy. When Iningly it generally sings the loudest. in a somewhat plaintive tone, as if ask ing for food.—Newark Dads Advertiser. PEOPLE WHO Livi WITHOUT WATER. -. 4 ' 1 . 110 day before we reached the Orange liver, says Anderson in his Four Years' 'Wandering' in South Africa. we full in with a krall of Hotter'. tots, whom, to our surprise we found living in a locality altogether astitute of water!. The milk of their cows and goats supplied its place. Their cattle, moreover, never obtained water. but fimnd a substitute in a kind of ice-plant (messembryanthemum) of an exceeding succu lent nature, N7hich abounds in those regions.— But our own oxen, not accustomed to such diet, would rarely or never touch it. Until I had actually convinced myself—as I had often the opportunity of doing at an after period—that men .and beasts could live entirely without water, I should, petha;,s hate had some difil• culty in realizing this singular fact.". PAPER Baca Mitnr. Dv STEAM.—Thera is a innnufnetory in Philadelphia where paper bag are made by steam. There are six inaehines in operation, producing nn average of 60.000 bags per day. of sizes to contain quantities averag ing from Ito 25 pounds. There is an appnr at us also for spooling and cutting the paw the required width, and a press for cutting the hags after they are inanufact tired. After this process of spooling the paper is taken to the , machine. which cuts the paper in the shape de sired. fold's it, applies the paste. turns the edges required to be pasted, and then passes the bags, on tapes and rollers, into a drying room, in which steam pipes arc introduced. Through this the bags are conducted by continuous tapes rollers over and surface of about fifty feet, and when thrown out on piles, the bags are dry and ready for packing..

A 'man, killed by a railroad accident nt Tarry town, was reported to be Patrick Burke 0 itieW York, and his wife at once proceeded to the spot. On arriving she saw the body, and having her mind made up fur the worst, with out no icing deco ised's (ace, concluded that he was her husband, an forthwith made arrange ments for the funeral. The supposed Patrick was brought to the city in a neat mahogany coffin, the expenses and tuxury of an old rash ioned wake was incurred, five carriages were hired. and as the fUnetal was-about to cross over the Williamsburg ferry on Thanksgiving day, the real genuine Patrick Burke mot his bereaved friends and in full health—as Mrs. Burke, on her testimony, expressed it, to their utter " dismay."

This makes the most durable, and is cheaper than any kind of roofing mat.,rial now in use. It is not affected by the change of atmosphere, and is adapted to every climate.

G.:7'On Monday night our citizens were re galed with an uncommon species of music, got ten up in honor of a happy pair who had taken upon themselves the vows of wedlock. Such a creaking of horse-fiddles, rattling of casti netts, ringing of dinner bells, beating of bass drums, sounding of ton-johns and ringing of hewgags, was enough to make the pence-lov ing and law-abiding citizens of the locality fear that the " grand final" of terrestrial concerns was drawing nigh, if not really present.
