To our Readers. -
Another election lies passed, and with
the close of apolitical campaign we expect
— for a while at least some cessation from the
broils and acerbities incident to every warm
ly contested election. As Editors, of the
Register we have deemed it our duty by all
fAir and honorable means to defend the in
terests of the party, to which we owe alle
giance. In pursuance of this duty, it was
incumbent on us at times to act on the ag
gressive, and at other times on the defen
sive, and to publish, what might prove un
pleasant to some of our readers. The task
was im unpleasant one, but nevertheless
sternly demanded by what we considered the
claims of duty and of right. We have
made it our fixed purpose to publish noth
ing which was untrue, and which we were
unable to substantiate. We deem it beneath
the purpose of a Journalist to undertake to
hoodwink and delude an honest public: f
at times we have been mistaken, we are al
ways open to conviction and correction.,—
Whatever may be the success, either to
ourselves or to our party, attendant on such
a course, we shall none the less have the
satisfaction of knowing and feeling, that it
is right. -
For a while duty shall call us in a differ
ent direction from that pursued for the last
two or three months, and we 'shall in our
columns cull the attention of our readers to
other matters not political, and devote more
attention to our local department, which cir
cumstances and want of space have compel
led us to neglect. A newspaper, although
partisan, should meet all the wants of a
community, and shotild be the channel of
ftws of all kinds, such as would make it a
lolme visitor to every fire-side in the
county. This we shall make the purpose of
,the Register.
The Election.
Philaddphia, Win. B. Mann, the Peo
ple's candidate for District Attorney elect
ed by 3500 majority. The opposition State
ticket has a majority of about 2500. The
city of Lancaster gives an opposition major
ity of 300. llarrisburg opposition majority
165.
Whilst going to press it would seem that
after an enormous vote and an unexampled
effort on the part of the Democracy the
county of Lehigh has been carried for a
•art of the Democratic, county ticket by
ow majorities. C. B. Haintz, the demo•
(vatic candidate for Sheriff is elected by a
majority raging from fifty to one hundred.
Charles Klein the Opposition candidate lhr
Treasurer is elected by a slight majority.—
Joseph Saeger opposition candidate for Re
corder is eleeted by a majority of several
hundred.
The Opposition candidate for CommiS
sioner and Director of the Poor, as well as
the candidates for the legislature are sup
posed to be elected. The day was a glori
ous result for the Opposition of " Little
Lehigh." It shows that an Opposition as
cendency in the Couuty is a possibility.—
What Republican will not say that Lehigh
hereafter shall record her votes, in opposi
to the free-trade p&ifty of the Dh meeratic
party. That she should, must be conceded
That she will, sturdy efforts must determine.
Later dispatches give Long and Eisenhart
one hundred majority in Carbon, which
would seem to indicate the election of
Kistler and Long.
One day last week. Mr. John Avent, of
Nash county, North Carolina, living within a
mile or two of the Halifax line, came suddenly
to his end, by the accidental firing of his gun.
It appears that he had with his dog and gun,
(a double-barreled one,) gone out hunting.. -
Hid dog having treed a squirrel, he phot and
fiilledit. On stooping to take up_ the squirrel.
it is supposed that of he was in the act of rais
ing himself, his dog reared upon him, and in
powing down, hit the trigger of the undis
b,hsrged barrel,which was no doubt full spiting
causing it to fire, and killing Mr. Avent al
most instantly—the charge passing through,
trOtd the 'ewer jaw, one aide of his head.
A Bustrum WELL.— A singular instance of a
burning well occurred last week in Milo town
ship. Mr. A. J. Nevitt was boring a well scitni
25 feet deep, to the depth of about 60. when he
bad some suspicions that it contained intlamn•
ble gas. A lighted candle was taken wi hin
about eight feet of the well, when the gas
aught, and the flames rose to the height of
about twenty feet. It was so ne rto the house
that a part of it had to he removed, in drder to
'prevent a . conflagration. Various methods
were resorted to extinguish the fire, but all
proved unsuocessful. It remained on fire from
Wednesday afternoon until Sunday morning.
Tureen& Co. (111.) Rep., 21st ult.
03Mr. Joseph Smith, a wealthy farmer of
Kent, C. VV., having been enraged by robie.
ries from his grape vines, loaded his gun and
told his servant girl to watch and shoot any
hodg 'who apyroadhed to pick from the vines
He then went out upon business. On his re
turn, eritively forgetting the direction he had
so recently givon' he went straight to the vines
•to pick a bunoh of grapes. The girl not re
cognising hie person in the dim light,linstant
y fired upon him, and the charge took, fatal
effect io 'the groin, killing him in a few minutes.

At a special meeting of the Columbia Fire
Co. held on Friday evening. October 7th 1859,
the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
Whereas it has pleased the Almighty to ea-•
ter our midst and suddenly remove from
amongst us. in the full career of his usefulness,
our esteemed fellow member. Augustus J. Ritz
and whereas we in. common with his numerous:
friends, deeply feel the afflictive bereavement
which , has thus befallen us, by which our com
pany has . been deprived of a useful member ;
therefore he it.
Resoi•ed,, That we mingle our sympathies.
with his family, and deeply deplore the calami
ty which thus suddenly turned their joy into•
mourning: .
Resolved. That, as a last mark of respect to
the &Ceased, the Engine and the gall of the
Compani be shrouded in mourning for the
Space of thirty days, and that we attend the•
funeral in a body.
. Resolved, That these resolutions be entered
on the minutes of the company, and be pub
lished in the papers, and a copy of the multi
be transmitted .to the family of the decease&

.Tres REPUBLIC or LIILERIA.—A late letter
from Liberia speaks of the encouraging ad
vance of that country in the following terms :
Liberia is on the rapid march to a degree of
eminence we have all been long desiring to see
her arrive at. Colored men of capital. of bitsi
nem habits of education ; men of mind, genius.
and long practical knowledge of mechanical
arts, are coming over to share this glorious
home with their 'race. And, more than this,
the'long neglected treasures lying in the soil
are being developed. The sugar cane especial
ly. is being cultivated in a much larger quan
tity than ever before, and sugar mills and
plantations are multiplying on the noble St.
Paul's River."
PASS nn ROUND.—Sylvanns P. Lowry+, the
democratic candidate for Lieutenant• Governor
of Minnesota. is the man who headed the mob
which destroyed the press of Mrs. Swissholen.
at St. Cloud. a year since. The spirited lady
has. of course, undertaken to defeat him anti
will do it, whatever becomes of the rest of tha
tiohet.
