THE "LEHIGH REGISTER" HAS A LARGER CIRCULATION BY SSVERAL HUNDREV THAN ANY OTHER ENGLISH PAPER IN THE COUNTY. 1011 GOVIANOB: Col. Andrew Gr. Curtln, OF CENTRE COUNTY The Irrepressible Conflict in the Demo . °ratio Party. In the year 1856 it was boasted in apoliti cal harangue by a Democratic United States Senator, that the Kansas Nebraska bill had broken the back-bone of the old whig party, and never after its passage were the opposi tion. able to hold a National Convention, in which all the States were represented. Sena tor Douglas was lauded as being the great in strument in effecting the disruption of the old whig party. Four years later the same Sena tor (Richard Broadhead) as a Delegate from Pennsylvania to the Charleston Convention co operates with the bitter enemies of Douglas, and in the same Convention is witnessed the strange spectacle of the withdrawal of the del egates of eight or ten Southern States. The secession was brought about in consequence of the passage of a platform, proposed by the friends of Senator Douglas, the same man, who fathered and fought through the Kansas Nebraska bill. In other words . the same cause, which ruptuled the old Whig party, has finally split the Democratic party irrpoon (Melly in twain. But strange to say, the same party, heretofore so loud in donounoing the sectionalism of the Republican party, wit nesses in the bosom of its own National Con vention a fierce, bitter, and uncompromising struggle between the North, almost unani mously in the interest of the little Giant, and the South almost a unit against him. The friends of Douglas :are'firm and unyielding, and equally so are his opponents, and after the fiercest wrangling, such as has never be' fore been witnessed in any convention of the party, an adjournment is, effected until June without a nomination. Northern Delegates, coming from Districts so strongly Republican, that no Democrat can find his way to the Halls of Congress, are fighting Southern Delegates, coming from districts sending altnost the en tire Democratic Congressmen, who aro so for tunate as to find their way to Washington. In .. other words the adherents of Douglas are fighting the same men, whom Republicans are fighting in the Halls of Congress. If the Re publican party is sectional, then sectionalism has found its way into the heart of the Dem . ocratio party itself. If the demands of the South must be contended against, why not. make the opposition in the only political or }lmitation, in which it can be effectually made, in the ranks of the Republican party.? The Convention was entertained by address es from distinguished Democrats of the North. • who supported the platform, proposed by the Douglas men, by the opinions of Southern men expresssed in 1854, 1856, and 1856. In other words it was conclusively shown, that the Southern men, whoa few years since clamored for popular sovereignty, and the right of the peo ple of a territory at all times to regulate the institution of slavery, have completely revers ed their position, and now not only deny the right the people to interfere at all in the matter, but demand that Congress should protect Slavery, which they affirm is carried into the territories by virtue of the provisions of the Constitution. Why is it, that Southern men now unflinch ingly demand what a few years since they did not dare to claim? It is because the " Little Giant" first taught them to be arrogant, domi neering, and dictatorial in their drands of polioal parties; The serpent warmed into life, has but recoiled to sting its benefactor.— Douglas has turned upon his enemies to ruin the Democratic party. The South has turned upon Douglas to dig his political grave. The Philadelphia Election The result of the election in Philadelphia may be claimed as a grand triumph for the opposition and as a sure proof of how Pennsyl vania may be expected to go at next Fall's election. In the times of the old Whig party, the city and county of Philadelphia, now the consolidated city, together gave a Democratic majority of about 3000. In the spring elec tion of 1856, immediately proceeding the Pres idential election, Mawr Vaux, the Democratic nominee, was elected by a majority of about 6000. In the Ihll the majority for Buchanan overx phined Fillmore and Fremont vote, was about the same. In the Spring of 1858, when the Anti-Lecompton Democrats first commenced to make their power felt against the regular Democratic nominees, Mayor Vaux; was defeated by a majority of about five thousand. In 1859 the Opposition majority was about 2000. To show the spirit, with which the recent canvass was conducted, refer once need but be had to the foot that the vote exceeded the vote at the Presidential election of 1856 by about 2,000. At the recent elec tion the Democracy had harmonised. It was said, that the result would tell on the election to be held in the fall. Appeals were made to the wholesale merchants to swell the Demo cratic vote for the purpose of saving their Southern trade. Philadelphia is the only spot in Pennsylvania, which cap be reached by appeals like these and yet, in the face of all, • the Democracy have been beaten. The State of •Pennsylvania can be easily carried next fall with a Democratic majority in the city of Philadelphia of 5000, or more. With Phila• delphis certain there can be no doubt as tc where Pennsylvania will stand in-the Presi idential contest; • DILLAWARZ REPUBLICAN STATIC UONVENTION. -,ACIn Wednesday last a Republican State Con vend= fo'r. the State of Delaware assembled at Dover, . All parts of the State were full:, represented. The Convention is eaid to have been the largest, which ever assembled in th• the city. The Convention was eloquently ad dressed by Gov. Corwin. Delegates were a.- leeted to represent tho State in the Chicag. Convention. Bsitttto ON TOIL Puu•sisilszta ELECTION.-, So confident were the . Democracy before th recent municipal election in Philadelphia t: elooting their candida • 'or Mayor, that larp amounts of money war., ge-cd on the rosut If is supposed that as high as $lOO,OOO ohnnt ed bands on the result. Some men lost iron, two to three thousa \ nd dollars. iircweiiimilidthe Charleston Convention. EIGHTH DAY. Mr. Benning on,behalf of the Georgia Del egation announced their withdraw.' from the Convention. The delegation from Arkansas withdrew. Mr. Montgomery from Pennsylvania said, if there were more delegations, which , wished to withdraw, let' them withdraw. A resolution was carried, that the Conven tion proceed to ballot for candidates for the Presidency and that a nomination rewire 202 votes or two-thine of the full Convention.— Twelve ballots were had, on the first of which Mr. Douglas received 147} votes. The twelfth ballot stood as follows: Douglas, 150* Johnson, 12 Hunter, 38 I Dickinson, 4 Guthrie, 39 Davis, li 1 Lane, 5 • The Seceders from the regular Convention, met at St. Andrew'B Hall. Mr. John C. Pres ton, of South Carolina, presided as Temporary Chairman. The Convention adjourned to the City Hall, where a large and enthusiastic as semblage was addressed. NINTH DAY. The Convention continua to ballot, with but a little variation in the vote for Mr. Don glas and a change in favor .of Mr. Guthrie of Kentucky. The fifty-fifth ballot stood as fol lows : 1151* I Lane, 01* Dickinson, 113 Davis, Douglas, Guthrie, Hunter, TENTH DAY The balloting for mindidate for the Presiden cy was suspended and the following resolution was adopted Resolved, That, when this Convention ad journ to-day, it will be to meet in Baltimore, on Monday, the 18th day of June, in order to afford the gtates,•that are not now represented, an opportunity to fill up their delegations. The Convention then adjourned. 'SSCEDERS CONVYNTION.—The Seceders re solved to adjourn and that a call be issued for a Southern Convention be held at Richmond, Virginia, on the second Monday of June next. A. resolution authorizing an address or nar rative of the grounds of seceding, to be pre pared and published with the proceedings of the Convention, was adopted. The Convention then adjourned sine die. A Divided Democracy The Democratic party at Charleston broke up into two hostile factions. Such will be their condition in the future, we are satisfied. No appliances and manipulations of politicians can restore the unity of the party. Two Con ventions are to bo held for the purpose of nom nating Presidential candidates, one at Balti more, on the 18th of June, and another at Riohmond, Virginia, on the 11th of the slime month. The Democracy have , heretofore ex ulted over the dissensions of the Opposition, and now' they will have enough to do, if they reconcile the distractions in their own camp.. They may endeavor to patch up matters, so as to present the appearance of an unbroken front in the Presidential struggle, but the ef fort will come too late to remedy the harm. which has been already done. The moral in dunce of an undivided Democracy is gone.— The question of slavery has broken the back bone of the Democratic party, and henceforth there Will be a Democratic party North and a Democratic party South, just es for the past few years, there has been a Republican party North and a Pro-Slavery party South, when the different sections of the country, through their representatives, have come into antag onism in the Halls of Congress. The Demo cracy by this time should be satisfied, that the position of the Republican party is right, that there is no such thing as indifference to the question, as to whether slavery should be "voted up or voted down" in the territories.— Sides must be taken either one way or the other on the question. There can no dodging. As the issue is thus forced-upon the Democrat io party, the more must honest-minded Dem ocrats be satisfied, that the position of the Re publican poky is right. Virginia Republican Convention WHEELING, .May 2.—The Republican Con vention has assembled here, delegates from all parts of the State being present. Josph Applegate, of Brook county, was elected president,, with eleven vice presidents. Hon. Alfred Caldwell, E. N. Norton, of Ohio county, J. C. Underwood, of Clark coun ty, and W. A. (lett, of Montgomery county, were appointed delegates at large to Chicago, with full district delegates and alternates. The Committee on Resolutions reported a long address, with a aeries of resolutions pledging the support of the nominee of the Chicago Convention, favoring a tariff affording protection and encouragement for the produc tions of the white laboring men of our country against that of foreign countries; the equality of rights among citizens ; opposing proscrip tion on account of opinions or place of birth ; denouncing the action of the Administration regarding the impressment of naturalized cit• tens when visiting the country of their birth ; approving the homestead bill, and favoring plan• of colonization, Speeches were made by J. C. Underwood, J. Wilson, of Indiana, and F. P. Blair, of Mis souri. The next Convention will be held at Rich mond. COUNTY SUPIRINTENDBNT or PUBLIC SCHOOLS. —By the proceedings of the Convention of the School Directors of tip county, held on Mon day last, and to be found in another column, it will be seen that Mr. Tilghman Good, of Allentown, was elected County Superintendent for the ensuing three years. Mr. Good has been an acceptable . Teacher in the &hells of our Borough for years, and several years since held the same position for the unexpired term of Charles W. Cooper, Esq., under appoint• ment from Governor Pollock. His experience as a teacher poculiarily fits him for the posi tion, to wbioh he has been elected, and we save a firm assurance, that the duties of the Afice will be discharged to the entire satisfao :ion of the.pablio. RETIRING STATE 0 ITICEII3.—The lion: Jacob ..?ry retired on Tuesday of last week from the (floe of ,Auditor General of the State, the (bl ies of which were that day assumed by his •ucoessor, Hon. Thomas E. Cochran, of York. •lon. John Rowe, the same day relinquiebed im'office of Surveyor General of the State to Inn. Reim, who was elected in October last to 4noceed him. CONGRESSIONAL NOLINATION.—The Repub. bean Conventions of the KXlst and XXIInd iAtricts of thie; State, last week re nominated Moorhead and Robert McKnight for ;Jongress.. The nominees are able and influ• andel members of the present Congress. The Prise light. The referee in the prise ,fight between Heaton anti Sayers has not set [lntent:Lai his decision, licennti claims the be lt as having been won at the recent meeting. We copy the following letters, written by Heenan and pent to the London Times, and published on the 22nd ult. " Lae by your article of SaturAay that you misunderstand my wishes; and it doesme great injustice. I have no difference to settle with Sayers, except such as I tried to settle with him on the Nth ; and, instead of being called a ' Boy,' I ought to be termed a 'baby,' if, after having got a settlement, I should be wil ling to relinquish' my purpose for a few good natured pats on the back and being told I am' a fine fellow. I have received a great many' anonymous letters, asking me if I am not as- hamed of myself, a great fellow like me to come over to whip a little Man like Sayers. Under ordinary circumstances I should not think of sending a challenge to a man .of Sayers's size ; but England thinks him big enough d io defend the belt. I want it. and cannot get it except through him. The inclosed letter, which I sent to Bell's Life, when I heard that they in tended to call in the surgeon to name the day before which Sayers could not finish the pend ing affair, will show my position ; and as Bell's Life has not published it, you will do me a great kindness in letting the English people hear what I have to say. If the late meeting is not to be resumed, and the belt is not to come to me for what has already taben place, I claim to be the first on the list to meet Say ers again for the next chance to conquer it." The following is the letter to Bell's Life: " Not having been able to obtain from you as a referee the final decision upon the fight of Tuesday last, I desire to demand through you a new meeting within the present week. I make this demand from having been informed that it has been suggested on your part that I should give Sayers sufficient time to recover from certain injuries received by him. Now Sir, while I am willing to accommodate him in any 'proper way, I must not be unmind ful of my own right. I also received injuries, but I bargained for them ; and I put it to you, as a man of honor, whether, if I have been de prived, through the effects of the said battle, of my eye-sight, or the use of my arm, as in the case of Brettle, when disable by Sayers, you would have made Sayers wait for me for any length of time that might be dictated by my private doctor. "When this match was made, the date for the battle was the 16th or as soon as we could get to • fight ; and, according to the rules, if the battle should be interrupted, it was my un derstanding, and I believe it is the law, that we should fight within a week. We did meet according to contract. The battle was to be unfinished, and I am prepared to renew. it at any moment within lawful limits. If Sayers is not, on account of injuries from me, andcan not meet me according to the rules of manly opposition, I.demand and claim that he resign to me the belt, which he is not, according . to the rules of the prize ring, entitled to retain. Hoping to receive an answer from you before this'areek expires, stating your views in full, I am, Bce.,_ P. S. You will please understand I don't wish to compel Sayers to fight because he is represented to be in a disabled state, but I wish to obtain what I think . I have already won, and which I will cheerfully hand back whenever he or any other person thinkshecan take it from me." Two hundred pounds are said to have been subscribed in Liverpool by American captains for the benefit of Heenan. OPPOSITION GAIN IN PHILADELPHIA SINCE 1856.—The recent vote for . Mayor in the , city of Philadelphia stood as follows Henry, People's candidate, - Robbins, Democratic candidate, Total vote, - - - Total vote for President in 1856, acme°, - - • - The voto for President, in 1856, stood For Buchanan, For Fillmore and Fremont combined, - Buolianan's majority over all, Henry', majority on Tuesday, - Gas, Buchanan's majority over Fillmore and Fre mont, in the whole • State of Pennsylvania, was 1,026. There has therefore been a sufficient change in Philadelphia alone since 1856 to carry the State by 6000. But have not other sections of the State changed in a like degree against the Democracy? Lbw will Democrats pretend to get 1100 majority in Lehigh, 700 in Carbon, as in 1856 ? And so we might pass through the list of Democratic counties. Democratic suo• cess in Pennsylvania next fall is an impossi bility. &BNB IN via Housx.—Punning Extraordi nary. While the Pryor-Potter controversy was going on in Washington, a vote of the House was called upon some minor matters.— When Mr. Potter's name was called, an old Dutch member from Pennsylvania, who never takes up time unless he has something to say to the point, rose in his place and excused Mr. Potter thus. " Mishter Shpeaker, I will'shust say ash how Mr. Potter hash a Pryor engage ment.„ Both sides of the House and the gal larks united in an uproarious explosion of mirth at the honorable member's sally of wit, and it was only checked to be redoubled, when, after the name of Mr. Pryor was called, the same old Hans arose and said: " Vell, Mish ter Spheaker, Mishter Pryor has gone to pe ash clay in to hands of to Potter." For some moments the scene in the House was indescrib able, and, for . the once, five pound bowie knives and shotted rifles were at a discount. PIIIIADELPHIA. MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—The Municipal Election in the city of Philadelphia last week resulted in the triumph of the whole Opposition oity ticket. The following is the result: Alexander Henry, the People's candidate for Mayor, is elected by 882 majority. Mr. Lex, the People's candidate for Solicitor, is elected by 1,658 majority. Mr. Hufty, the People's candidate for Control ler, is elected by 101 majority. Mr. Hamm, the People's candidate for Receiv er of Taxes, is elooted 1,186 majority. Mr. liousetran, the People's candidate for Commissioner, is elected by 1,742 majority. The Select Council is tied between the two parties, and the Ccimmon Council stands : Op. position 53, Democrats 41. SOUTHERN DELEOLTES TO CHICAOO.-TllO States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Via, ginleyand Missouri have already elected dele gates to the Chicago Convention, The Con -vention will represent about the same number of electoral votes, as did the Charleston Con vention, after the seceders left it. Can it be said with any show of reason, that the Repub lican Party is more sectional than the Demo .cratic Party itself? CormitsssroXitt.-On Friday last, the Hon. Henry C. Longnooker addressed the House of Representatives on the subject of the tariff.— The Washingtdn Correspondent of Forney's Philadelphia Press gives the following notice of the speech: '• The argument of the young Representa tive froth the Lehigh district, tBARRY Lorca• :mesa, on the Tariff question, was in admi rable taste and temper, and was heard with mull attention. CAI. AFFAIRS. *S.AII the rage-Shnker bonnets. Itti'Sabbath evening service in the Meth odist E. Church will hereafter commence at 6 o'clock. NOTARY PllRLlC.—Governor Packer has commissioned Valentine Weaver, Esq., Notary Public for the borough of Cataeauqua. • ODD FELLOWS' HALL STOOL—A semi annual dividend of three per cent has been declared upon the stock of the Odd Fellows' Hall Association. ,ISome of our farmers have planted corn, but the season is too cold for that generally. It is rather a backward Spring. Wheat is doing uncommonly fine, and promises well, everywhere. Fruit, we think, is safe, Never do up . a package of Goods with out putting in a circular, card or handbill. Thus you will compel your customers to assist in•making you known, and at the same time be setting a good example. MORE cATTLMst week eighty-two cattle cars, with 1200 head of neat cattle, pas sed through this place, en route for New York. This shows that this route with all its tempo rary drawbacks is preferred by the drovers. LEFT FOR CHICAGO.—Joseph Young, Henry J. Saeger, and George Beisel, two of whom are delegates and the third alternate delegate to the Chicago Convention, left town this morning, en route for the Convention. MAP OF LEHIGH COUNTY.—In anoth er column will be found an advertisement of a Map of Lehigh county, to be gotten up by G. A. Asbach, Esq., of our borough. We shall call further attention to the merits of the map in our next issue. THE EASTON AND NAZARETII RAIL ROAD.—The Commissioners, named in the bill incorporating the Easton and Nazareth Railroad Company have held several meetings at Easton and Bethelohem, preparatory to opening books for subscription of stock. HATS AND CAPS.—We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of our neighbors, CHRIST & SAURS, in another column. They have a splendid lot of Hats and Caps on hand, and as they offer to sell at cost, great bargains may be obtained. Give them a gall• and satisfy yourelves. • MILLERS' LICENSES.—For some yeas past the millers of this as well as of other counties have been paying an annual license, the same as storekeepers, for the privilege of selling . flour, feed, &o. A recent decision of the Supreme Court would seem to define the law as exempting millers from this tax. BATTALLION. The Battalion on the coming Thursday promises to be a grand af fair. We havp learned, that the Head Quar ters of Major General Brown and Staff for the day will be at the Allen House. Major Horn and Staff will be quartered at the Amer ican. FOUND.—The body of young SHARPE, of Belvidere, who was lost at the time of the ex plosion of the ill-fated steamer Alfred Thomas, was found floating in the river, near the Rail rpad Bridge, Easton, on Tuesda evening a week.

Preparations are al so in progress for the opening of another Com mandery at Easton, Pa., shortly. • COSMOPOLITAN ART JOURNAL.—We have received the March number of this ele gant publication. Beside a variety of matter of general interest, it contains several illustra tions, the principal one being a splendid en graving entitled " The Good For Nothing," engraved expressly for this publication. The subscription price $2 per annum. Office 548 Broadway, N. Y. MILITARY ENCAMPMENT AT BETH LEHEM.—At a meeting of the National Guards of Philadelphia, held on Thursday evening last, a committee appointed for the purpose of selecting a site for an encampment, reported, recommending Bethlehem.

Orosh, a carpenter of West Bethlehem, while at his work trod on a nail, which severely wounded his foot. For some time the case did not appeir to be of a serious character, and on last Saturday he attended the funeral of a relative. On the following day the foot began to swell and pain most violently, and lock-jaw setting in, the patient lingered until Tuesday morning, when he died. -rrfiethlehern Advocate.. THE MAHON r RAILROAD. The project for the on.truotion of the above rail road, besigned to connect the Lehigh Valley Railroad with, Tamaqua, is now earnestly agitated by the people of Carbon and Sohuy.l - counties. The Commissioners named in the act of incorporotion will open books for the receipt of Subscription of, stook, in Tamaqua, on the 19th inst. The proposed road would prove a beneficial out-let to the coal trade of the Schuylkill region. CONVICTION OF HARDEN.—Rev. Jacob S. 'Harden, whose trial for poisoning his wife has been progressing at BeWider°, Warren county, N. J.,several weeks past, was found guilty of murder in the first degree, on Wed nesday last. He has sentenced to be hung on the 28th of June. When sentenced, he said he had nothing to say, why sentence should not be pronounced. The evidence to his guilt, although circumstantial; was strong and con clusive. SURGICAL OPERATION.--A)rs. WilsOn and Martin, of Bethlehem, removed on Fri dty, thellth ult., a large tumor about the size of a goose egg from the front part of, the neck of a German. The operation was very skil fully performed, Sad the patieut is now doing very well. Dr. Wilson also shortly 'removed a tumor as large as a walnut from the breast of a young lady residing in Bethlehem. The operation was skilfully and successfully performed. SORGIIIIIIL—NcarIy every farmer has tried the cultivation of Chinese Sugar Cane on a . small scale. Few, however, have entered upon its cultivation largely, or thoroughly tested its adabtability to our soil and climate. Should ita cultivation prove successful, a new mine of wealth would be opened to the tiller of the soil ; and instead of depending upon foreign countries for supplies of sugar and molasses, they could be had.at our own &ore, =nee°• tured by our own people, LECTURES.—Dre. Haynes k Sadler' will commence a course of Lectures at the Odd Fel lbws Hall, on Tuesday,.May, Bth. They pro pose to give three Lectures on Tuesday, Wed-' ndsdlty knd,Thursday. SUBJECTS :-"Physiog nomy" 4 ' Mind yotir own Business," and " Seittitility;" Dr. Haynes is considered a superior phre nologist to Prof. Fowler, who visited us a few months age. These gentlemen can be consult elat the' American House. admission to the lectures, 25 cents. He will visit Bethlehem next week. We select the following from one our exchanges: " ' Mind your own business,' by Dr. Hay nes, was admirably handled. We give a brief synopsis :—" Man is a curious creature —born in a curious way—in a curious world, and the greatest piece of curiosity would he to find him no curious. Curiosity is a great ele ment of man's nature—more particularly of woman's. There is a natural desire in mantel ask questions and to try experiments. Our true business in life is to obtain health, to cul tivate morals, and to improve the intellect.— Political and sectional animosity was severely reprobated and denounced. The inconsisten cies, of popular churches and societies—their extravagances, ite., was clearly set forth.— Many excellent rules were given, in regard to the manner of minding one's business, and how to succeed in life. The Second Lecture, —" The Human Face Divine," by Dr. Hay nes, was better attended than the first,—the lecture was larger, and contained more variety and spice. Much was said in regard to the characteristics of the face and head, which was certainly very amusing and instructive. The wit was of a sober sort, deep, but not broad ; some saw the point, and some did not. We had no idea that there was such n variety of noses,--Cirecian, Roman, Hooked, Cchs-ti al, Terrestrial, Snuberial, Snub, Bottle, S i onsh, and noses all over the face. The peculiarities of the eyes, mouth, chin, and color of hair, were well explained. This was strictly speak ing, a lecture on Physiognomy. Tha Dr. made several Phrenological examinations, which were considered faultless, some were very re makable, and true to the letter. Dr. Sadler's . private lecture was fairly attened, and the subject well treated. The follies and vie of youth were depi2ted in all their lonthsorhr de formity, and their consequences emolainerto the fullest extent. The vices of Paris, and large cities, were detailed, and their fearful re sults shown up. Some very fine explanations of the fatal work of sensual vice, on the physi cal, moral and intellectual powers wore given! —Consequences of which but few see, until it becomes too late to correct. Dr. Sadler gave some excellent advice 'toyoung men, on the importance of chastity, and the great utility of employment, especially that of a physica. na ture. The Dr. evidently understands his sub ject, and it would be well for those who have been iffiprudent f in such matters to consult him before he leaved the city." ELECTION OF COUNTY SUPERINTEN DENT.—The School Directors of the county assembled at the Court House, on Monday af ternoonlast at 1 o'clock P. M., for the' pur pose of electing a County Superintendent of Public Schools. The attondauce•of Directors was large. Mr. Joshua Hunt of Catasauqua was select ed President, and Henry Saeger, of Allen town and George W. Hartzell, of Lower Ma-. oungie, Secretaries. On motion of Major M. H.'Horn, of Ca'in.- sauqua the reported of the press were re quested to take seats within the'railing of the Court room. , A motion was passed, that the Convention proceed to.nomination of candidates; when the following persons were placed in nomination, H. H. Schwartz and Tilghman Good, of Allen town, R. Clay Hamersly, of Catasauqua, and Oliver S. Fell, of Millerstown. Three ballots were had with the following result : Ist 2nd 3rd Tilghman Good, 49 54 56 11. 11. Schwartz, 40 42 41 R. Clay Hamorsly, , 9 6 8 Oliver S. Fell, 6 6 6 On the third ballot, Mr. 'Tilghman Good, having received a majority of votes, was de clared• duly elected. On motion it was resolved, that the salary of the County Superintendent be fixed at $5OO per annum. On motion it was resolved that the newly elected County Superintennent be requested to discontinue the occupation of Teacher in the public school. Adjourned sine die. REPORTED MURDER NEAR EASTON. —The Philadelphia papers of the Bth inst., contain the following telegraphic dispatch re porting a murder near Easton:— EASTON, Pa., May 7.—A horrible murder was committed in this vicinity early to day. Mr. Thos. Richardson, an old, wealthy and re spectable farmer, residing three miles above this place, on the Lehigh river, had an alter cation with two of his laborers, which termi nated fatally to all three. One of the men caught Mr. Richardson around the neck with a scythe, pulling him down upon a fence, and holding him in that position while his com panion beat him on the head with a rail, final ly jamming the rail into his brain. Two sons of Mr. Richardson, on coming to his assistance, were threatened with death, and the murder of the whole family, and burning of the farm house,, if they were interfered with. One of the boys, however, went into the house, and getting a double barrelled gun, shot both the munierere dead 1 Whilst going to Press, we have learned from private sources, that the report is a hoax, hav ing been first put in circulation by some crazy rOll3Oll. MILITARY HALL ASSOCIATION.—At an election held by the stockholders on Satur day afternoon last, the following persons wore elected Trustees of the Allentown Military Hall Association: Thomas Yaeger, Peter Weikel, George Beissl, Reuben Guth and Jon athan Reichard. We are pleased to :learn, that through the energy and perseverance of Capt. Yaeger, all the necessary stock has bee:: subscribed, except about sixty shares. This number, IN'e trust, may be aoon made up by the liberality of. our citizens. The enterprise is certainly worthy of the fullest share of public favor. Capt. Thomas Yeager. was elected President of the Botird, and Peter Weikel Sec retary and Treasurer. THUNDER STORM.—On Monday after noon last, this vicinity was visited with quite a violent thunder storm. The lightning struck in in several localities, atthough not so, as to cause any serious injury. Major M. H. Horn, of Catasauqua, _at the depot of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in this borough, on his way from the Convention of the School Directors of the county, which he had been attending, suffered quite a severe shook froM lightning.— The Major was not injured but only tempora rily stunned. We aro pleased to know that his escape was so fortunate.

Like Institutions throughout the State declare annual dividends of from 8 to 12 per centon their Capital Stock. We see no - reaeon why a Sav ing Bank can not declare as large a dividend in Allentown as anywhere in the State. Such an Inetitution is . really needed in our Town and would greatly accem.modate tradesmen, &orbs, mechanics, laboisrs, servants, Minors, married momen, and others, who have small or large sums to , depoeite, thus securing for them their money with the interest thereon whenever they may have occasion to use it.

'Ora number of years the railroad companies have been trying toper suade the shippers of stock to ship their cattle, hogs and sheep through this part of the coun try, and now since the connection is co m pl e t e between the West and New York city twhich is the principal market).by way. of the Ulm non Valley and East Pennsylvania Railroads, the stock is rushing in faster than the accom modations at the different feeding points can accommodate. " The drovers need some atten tion paid to their wants in the way of good lota and plenty of room for their cattle to run and rest themselves after a long ride of, say 40 hours without water or feed. We saw some of the Western men lately, and talked with them. They are pleased with the route via Harris burg,. Readineand Allentown, and are willing to bring. all their stock over this route provid ed the persons at the different stations pay some attention to their wants. One man told us that ho arrived at a station with 81 head of beeves, at 12 o'clock at night, and could find no one to help him, to direct him, or to sell him what he wanted. This man was one of six, who all had more stock than he had, • and for the purpose of accommodating those meal there should be commodious grounds providedr with plenty of good timothy hay at hand for the stock, as the drovers will not allow their corn-fad cattle to have grass after fasting for . some Wm. The stock are shipped at different points in , the West—Chicago being the princ ipal point to which all drovers are taken previous to be ing.sent by 'railroad to the several points of destination. .As this route is a new one, and the trade going more extensive than was first expected, the accommodations and facilities for shipping, stock are yet but small, and to the shipping of his first lot likely to discourage and drive him to his old route, either by way of New York State, or by driving, either of which is by far too expensive and troublesome, when compar ed with our route, which is about 130 miles shorter, and the expenses about nine dollars per car less than by any other route. If any of those men' who have tried this route and been disappointed, will but try it again they will be agreeably surprised and pleased to find that•the towns and cities they have to pass through are awake to their wants, and are pr viding every convenience for them. In Harris burg e 2 company of men have leased a large quantity of ground for a term gf years, and are now fitting it up for a droveks yard, with all the necessaries to make their Western friends feel easy, and know that they will find all they want by the time they come along again. • All along the Lebanon Valley Railroad we notice cattle yards, and at Reading they have ordered a large piece of ground to be fitted up in a similar manner. To give some idea of the number of cattle that pass through here on their way to New York, we will give the result of what we saw in one train : J. B. Loeher, Noblesville, Ind., 80 head of beeves and 300 hundred more on the way; Maj. W. Smith, from New Haven, Conn. 123 beeves and 118 hogs, from 111. ; J. F. Alexander, 81 head of beeves, Morgan county, Ill.; J. Dobley, 64 head of beeves, Springfield, 111. ; J. B. Alexander, 183 hogs, from Morgan county, 111., with 214 head com ing on the way ; Geo. Alexander has 104 head of beeves coming from Missouri ; McClung and Williams 221 head from Towa.—Reading Daily limes. CENSUS OF 1860.—The taking of the Oen commences on the Ist of June.

M., passing through the Lehigh Gap, Mauch Chunk, Weatherly, Ilas olton, White Haven, Cobb's Gap; and arrive at Wilkesbarre at 6 o'clock in the evening.--- We believe baggage is checked, and tickets sold through from all the stations on the Le high Valley Railroad. FROST.—Several mornings last week, frost was seen upon the ground, and ice was formed to a considerable thielmess. The north wind blew rather boisterously and oold, and old winter reigned again for a brief period. But soon the sun disputed his sway, and made his fetters; yield before its warm and softening influence. The trees are now putting forth vigorously,, and the • whistle of the merry ploughman is mingled with the songs of birds, as ho turns up the soil, confident of a harvest in proper time. 18... The now coinage :of Dimes and Half dimes, have made them appearance, and are a very neat coin. Wo trust they may be sub stituted for the miserable copper and nickel fairs now in circulation. tierWe learn frotn'the Chicago Prem & Tri bune that 240.000 bushels of corn were sold in that city last Friday at prices varying front 60 to 67 oents,
