Til 15 TIIKBT.
Daring court this week we liave beard u
number of prominent Democraia express
tbeir pleasuro and satisfaction with the Dem
ocratic county ticket. Every person grants
that all the nominees will make excellent
and competent officers ; and the Know-Noth
ings alone seem troubled as to what is beet
for tbera to do. They don't even hint that
the country would be ruined by the officers
now on the Democratic ticket, but they
strongly intimate that they would like all lite
offices themselves.
We ate very sorry to see our clever friend
Mr. Cole in the company end control of the
Know-Nothings. He submitted his claims
to the Democratic comity convention ami
was fairly and honorably treated by it. No
disrespect was intended, and no injury done
him when another competent gentleman re
ceived the npmination.
When a man submits his claims to a con
vet:lion anil is faitly treated by it, lie can
gain neither respect nor profit by deserting
the party because be did not receive a nom
ination. Each candididate before a conven
tion expects the others to support him if he
is successful, arid honesty would recpiire that
if he is not nominated he should treat others
as he wished to be treated. The men whom
wo have seen lately flattering Mr. Cole are
uoterious Know-Nothings who never born
any love for the Democratic parly, and who
were both last year and in the fall of 1853 the
leading spirits in opposition to the Demncral
io ticket. By tbiuking of this coolly the can
did portion of the voters will understand tlio
motives which have made Mr. Cole a candi
date.
Court Prncccdiucs.
Court opened in this place on last Mon
day. There was a pretty good attendance,
though but few casea were for trial, and none
of these of any general interest. Solomon
Neyltard Esq., of Centre was appointed fore
man of the Grand Jury.
The only civil case tried was an appeal—
Joseph Hampton w.Samuel Henry, iri which
the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
$32.65.
The only other case which went to a jury
for verdict was Com.'rs. AnJrew Freas for
aseaull and battery. Verdict not guilty and
the prosecutor for costs.
Court adjourned ott Wednesday forenoon.
The report of Iho Grand Jury will be found
in another column. The court directed it to
be published and notice to be given to the
supervisors mentioned in the report.
QT We publish in an other column tlio
advertisement of the "Savin/ Fund of the
United States Insurance, Annuity and Trust
Company," South East corner of Third and
Chestnut Streets, Philadelphia. It is the pi
oneer 5 per cent. Saving Fund of tha 1 City,
and is esteemed one of the best Savings In
stitutions of our country. Monies deposited
witb ibis Institution draw 5 per cent, inter
est, and are paid back on demand without
notice. The direction embraces some of the
best men of Philadelphia.
GT Whenever a disappointed Democrat
turns against his party the Know-Nothings
fuck him in just as easy as the whale did
Jonsb, and declare he is the most clever and
gentlemanly fellow alive, even if only a
short time before they übused him us a

Union and Harmony. m
The Columbia county Democratic Conven
tion, and the Representative Conferees ol
Columbia and Montour, have unanimously
conosirred ill the nomination mar.e by Mon
tour. of John G. Montgomery, Esq., for As
semfdy. Of Mr. Montgomery's election lberu
can be no doubt. Mi. Maxwell was urged
by indiscreet friends, to tun ugninstthe Tick
et,. but lie does himself credit by declining to
accede to such request, and pledging hitnsell
to support the ticket.
Mr. Tenter, of Derry, has likewise been
solicited to run as a volunteer, but he declines
to have his name thus used by the opponents
"of the democratic organization, and will him
self support Mr. Wagner. Mr. Terner thus
strengthens himself with the Democratic par
ty, and as lie is a gentleman of excellent
character and good qualifications, he will be
favorably remembered hereafter.— Danville

M bat the Hussions !Sny-
The official organ at St. Petersburg ex
presses the opinion that the Allies, by their
inactivity and want of enterprise, have allow
ed the opportunity to slip by when Seba-lo
pol might have been taken. It now says the
city is impregnable ; that it can replace one
hundred dismounted guns in a night, or can j
exchange 50,000 fatigued troops agiinst 59,-
000 fresh troops ; the Allies cannot, with
double the force thoy can disposo of, cut off
the communication by Perikop ; tliat the
Russian army, fighting for its country and its
sovereign, is animated by a belter spirit than
ia rhe heterogeneous mas of French, Enghsh,
Turks, Egyptians and Sardinians, contending
for an abstract ides and a con fused interpre
tation of the duties of civilization. There is
some force in these remarks, and the Allies
themselves appear to be impressed with the
same idea for the preparation of defences
they are making a l . Kamiosh look very like
a protection in the event of being compelled
to re-embark.
Sanbury and Erie Dai/road. —The jjastern
link of this road from Northumberland to
Milton, will be completed and formally op
ened on Thursday 20th inel. By the com
pletion ot this link, which, by usiugfiat boats
on the basin of the Susquehanna river at j
Northumberland, western New York will be ;
connected with the coat fields in the middle j
anthracite region- Col. A. S. Diven, Presi
dent of the Willtamspoit and Elmira Railroad j
Company, has had u large number of coal j
cars built, and (he locomotives arc ready lor.
the coal trade, which will begin on the 21st j
iust. This link will also afford another pleas- |
ant route to the north and west, via the Penn
sylvania railroad to the junction, above liar-1
risburg, and passenger boats from that point j
40 miles to Northumberland.
REPORTED UOUBERY OF THE COUNTY TIIKAS- |
uuv AT LANCASTER.—A letter Irom Lancaster
informs usthat the office of the County Treas
urer at Lancaster was robbed of from SBOO
to 81000, on Sunday night. The Treasurer's
Office is on the first lloor of the now Court
House, and was entered by the western door
leading to the corridor. The door loading to
the office was also opened by fulse keys—
no appearance of the lock Itaviug been fore
ed in either door. The sal'e-key was gener
ally kept in a small desk in (he office, which
was forced open, and the safe-key taken out,
by which the safe was opened. The Coun
ty Commissioners are investigating the mat
ter.— Ledger.
AMERICAN IRON.—Everything at presentin
dioates a prosperous condition of the Ameri
can iron trade. Our pig iron is now in far
better repute und demand than it baa been
for a long lime, und by the attention of the
manufacturers it has been so much improved
as to possess all the valuable qualities of
Scotch pig. The Philadelphia American stales
that the Mount Hope and Hibernian iron
mines, in New Jersey, are doing a large bu
siness. The rolling mill at Rockway, N. J.,
has been enlarged,and is now driven by
steam, instead of water power, the aleara be
ing generated entirely from the waste beat of
the puddling and heatiDg furnaces, so that
no more fuel is used than under the water
power system. The mill ia now constantly
employed.
{F The people very generally seem pleas,
ed with the nomination of Mr. Montgomery
for Representative, and be will receive a very
fine vote in tbii county.
■lore Developemeuts.
We invite the attention of every honest
man to the card of Mr. Henry Craw of Mun
cy which we publish below. At least a doz
en men in this county have come to us and
told an experience very much like this man's,
for the plan of Ihese conspirators is every
where the same, and honest men are every
wbero leaving them in disgust. Hereafter, if
occasion requires, we may put some of the
revelations of those who pave seen the hol
low heaitedness of Know-Noihingism in this
county into a proper shape for our readers. —
For the present Mr. Craw's experience will
| serve as a sample.
| To the Independent Elector* ol' Lycom
! nig, < liuion mid I'olter Counties.
The undersigned has been induced to ofTer
his services to the people of this district, and
permit his name to be used in the approach
l ing canvass, as a candidate for a seat in the
j Pennsylvania Legislature.
the fact is admitted by the members of
| the parly with whom I have previously aot
j ed, that their candidate, nominated by fraud,
! is to ntuke no public avowal of his principles,
but being disgusted with these" dark lan
tern" practices, I have determined to make a
frank, open and public exposition of my
views upon the various questions of public
interest. The principles of the Whig parly
have been and will be my principles; I have
louglil for tlicm, and voted for them, and as
long as breath remains in mybody, will retain
fresh and green the resolleclion of the glo
rious lessons taught us by Clay and Webster.
When the great reform movement on the
subject of temperance was started [ lent my
voice, and what little influence 1 possessed
to koep the ball in motion. In the midst of
onr great success in this reformation project
my Whig and Temperance friends commen
ced organizing Know-Nolhitig Lodges. I was
assured by Whig friends that it was reolved
by our party to tush cn masse into this move
ment as the sure and effectual way of break
ing down the Democratic party. I was also
assured there would bo no sacrifice of Whig
principles, that our party in iho order would
be largely in the majority, and the minority
of Democrats woulJ be compelled to suo
culhb, and finally come into the support of
Whig men and measures—l was assured by |
temperance Iriends that this Know Nothing ;
movement was the only means by which ■
men could bo selected and elected, who
would pass a prohibitory liquor law—l was
told by holy and reverend gentlemen ivith white
cravats, that the deception a man would bo
called upon to practice towards bis neighbor,
prevarication and equivocation to which ev
ery member would Uo forced to resort, that
the war which was to be waged against a
small and contemptible body ol Christians
and against all loreigneis whether l'rotestant |
or Catholic, would be justified by the great '
end to bo attained. In consequence ol these j
various assurances, I joined that dark and ;
prescriptive order*in whose midnight coun- j
cils the glicsts of men, women and children j
slaughtered in Cincinnati and Louisville, pass
in sad and solemn array before the eyes of
pale, trembling and terror-stricken congrega
tions of conspirators. How appropriate one
of the places of meeting in this Borough ! j
viz., a butcher shop ! the President stand- J
■ ing behind the ineat block, tlio initiated col
lected in a circle around, while a member
, holds in one hand a candle (their only light)
and in the o'.ht t a box of matches, so that
upon the first alarm the light may be extin
guished, and bo lighted when the danger of
detection passes away.
I was one ol tbe ciiarter members of the
Mur.cy council. Wo organized in a lavern;
1 met with them, acled with them, and for
the good of the temperance cause end with the
example of temperance men and Preachets
of the Gospel, and iu their company, at an
I hour when all nature was hashed in repose,
when sleep had 010-od the eyos of iho un
suspecting, stole forth from our families lo
meet in councils, held ut the houses we had
been in* tbe habit In our temperance speech- ;
es of styling " rum shops'' our ingress being
through tbe stables, over the fences, creep-
I ing along under the shrubbery of the gar
| ilens, and egress iu the same humiliating
[ and disgraceful manner.
The limits of this communication will not
I permit me to give all the reasons in addition
| to the foregoing which influenced nte to re
; nounce and free myself from the moral con
j lamination surrounding this order. From
i the assembling to the adjournttiont of the last
I
| hour." Every measure of any importance
j was passed in secret council and duly went
j through tho forms of ratification in the Sen-
I ate and House of Representatives. We 6ent
I a majority to pass the piohibitory liquor law,
and with the will and inclination, they lack
ed the courage to do their duty, but placed
upon the statute book, that miserable abor
tion known ar.d appropriately styled the
'• Know-Nothing Jug Law." if this was the
only infamous measure passed by that Leg
islature, it is enough to cover the authors
with disgrace. I herein pledge myself i(
elected to do my utmost to effect the repeal
of this odious law,and substitute in its place,
a Regular Simonpure Ned Dow Maine Law.
Mr, Beck the Democratic candidate it is said
is in lavor of the repeal of this law, but op
posed to n probibitorv law : Mr. <?aldive!l a
drinking man, is pledged in writing to iho
temperance men to sustain the law; and us
the position of neither of these gentlemen is
satisfactory lo myself, and, as I believe, to a
number of Whigs ar.d temperance men, I
have rasolved to enter upon this canvass in
order to test the sentiment of this district re
specting the "Maine Law and the abomi
nable order of Know Nothings. With these
sentiments emblazoned upon my shield with
lance in rest, I challenge to combat tbe vis
ored champions of Know-Nolhingism," "and
God defend tho right."

The I'rpjodlOto of Color- *
Of all llie prejudices that warp the human
breast, it might have been supposed the pre
judice of color would be the last one to affect
the sensibilities of Horace Greeley. He is
known, far and wide, ase zealous abolition
ist, and the almost daily indignant protests of
the Tribune against the exclusion of colored
persons from public stages and railroad cars
in the city of New York, and the prohibition
of their promiscuous association with whiles
in places of entertainment, has given color to
the idea that he is an amalgamationist as
well—at least, so far as the intermingling of
whites and blacks in social intercourse is
concerned, But it is not so. With all bis
love for the negro, Mr. Greeley finds, wher.
the experiment of admitting, hia colored
brethren freely into the society of whiles, is
brought practically before htm, that his prej
udice is a stronger feeling, and much deeper
rooted in his nature than he supposeed.—
He "starts" at the sight, with a shudder
of disgust that he makes no efTort to con
ceal.
lu his last letter from Europe, Mr. Greeley
gives an account of a visit he paid to the
"Cremorne Gardens," a place of cheap and
general resort at the extreme West end or
f.ondon, and this is the result of his "experi
ence" :
" I looked in with a friend one evening,
and found some three thousand people there
—as many as six or eight hundred of them
dancing at once under the open sky on a
slightly raised floor surrounding the tall stand J
or tower in which 'he musicians were seat- I
ed. There were not far from a thousand I
women preser.t, most of them quite young, I
and the majority manifestly lost to virtue if
not quite dead to shame. What struck inn
with surprise was the fact that many obvi
ously respectable and undepraved girls, min
gled and danced in the throng, including
mere children of 10 or 12 years, who could
not fail speedily to comprehend the errand !
on which the lost ones come hither. I had
heard much of the decorous depravity of the
Parisian dancing gardens, though 1 never
visited them; here the decorum were dubi- i
ous and llie.depravily unmistakable. The
English are not skillful in varnishing vice—
I at least, I have seen no evidence of tfieir tact
lin that line. I endured the spectacle of men
i dancing with women when rather beery Bnd
! smoking but at last the sight ot a dark and
by no means elegant mulatto -waltzing with
a decent looking white girl while puffing
away at a rather bad cigar proved too much
for my Yankee prejudice, and 1 started."
GKN. HOUSTON AND HISTORY. — G*n. Sam
Housing in giving in his adhesion.to the 'se
i cret order,'justifies his course by saying the
| firs'secret political society formed in this]
j country was the Cincinnati Society, that |
! General Washington was one of its members,
j and that no man was eligible for member
j ship in the society unless ho was an Ameri
i can. General Houston's knowledge of the j
history of his own couutry must be rather
deficient for one who professes so much na
tive patriotism. The Cincinnati Society was
not political at all, nor was it a secret organi
i zatton. It was formed by the officers of the
i revolutionary arrry, to perpetuate their long
cherished friendship and social intercourse,
and that they might, at regular annual peri
ords, communicate with each other, and re
vive a recollection of the friendly bonds by
which they were connected. A fund was
also provided to relievo any of the officers
who might become unfortunate. Such na
j live born citizens as Lafayette, Steuben, and
Kosciubko were members of the Society.—
Sam must not go so far off the track if he
wishes to "run" successfully us the leader of
' Young America," lor youth can scarcely
| excuse ignorance or perversion of the history
j of nue'6 native country. — Ledger.
j "WASHBURN'S INDIAN AMPHITHEATRE AJ<D
j CIRCUS" is announced in unother coitmin to
perform in this place on the 21st, September.
One o! the numerous notices which wo have
seen of this company, is the following from
the Boston Evening Times:
The success of this equestrian company,
which concluded its three days' perform
ances in this city on Saturday, has never been
surpassed since noble steeds and daring ri
ders first exhibited their lraii#g and rkill
within the limits of a Circus ring. Appear
ing, as this great Houpe did, for ibu first time
belore our citizens, with one-half the amuse
ment seekers ul the encampment in Quiucy
and foul weather to contend against, it re
quired the very best talent and most superior
petformancos to attract' "paying buuses,"
therefore, when wo inform our ftiends that
each exhibition, excepting the first, was
crowded, (ant! over a thousand people turn
ed away on Friday night,; the quality of the
performances can bo correctly judged. We
speak undcrstandingly and justly in slating
that the severul equeslrain artistes and gym
nasts attatched to the company cannot be
excelled by any troupe in this or any oth
er country. The Indian performers also pre
sent a most attractive feature, and their vari
ous feats uro both wouderful and interesting.
Of the clown, Geo. O. Knapp, we must set
him down as the embodiment of fun and
wit; he plays the fool wisely, never offend
ing by the use of broad and indecent jokes
to make the vulgar laugh and the judicious
grieve. In brief it is a model company, un
der excellent management.
Aflttirs tn Washington.
WASHINGTON, Sept 3.--Tbe Cabinet held
a meeting to-day, all the members being
present. Several matters of importance wero
considered, including despatches from Mr.
Buchanan am,' Mr. Mason. Much business
has accumulated during the President's ab
sence.
Senor Almonte, the Mexican Minister,
doe* not apprehend a recall by Carrera, the
Provisional President; who is his intimate
personal friend.
Vf The official result of the Kentuoky
election reaohee us by telegraph. Moore
head, the Whig and Know Nothing candi
date, has 4,403 majority. General Soott, in
1862, bad 3,20? majority; Taylor had 17,421;
and Clay, in 1844, 9,287. Verily, the Know
Nothings have won a tremendous victory!
The Flisbl or Santa Anna'
The flight of Santa Anna from Mexico is
confirmed by the late advicos from Havanna,
to which port, it appears, he has safely fled.
The abdication wua not without tumult, and
has left an open quarrel for the Presidency,
which may give some trouble to bis succes
sor. Carrera is provisional President ol Mex
ico for six months, but there ere others who
will want to have a hand in the business o f
President making, and then the trouble will
begin. Santa Anna, before be left, issued a
proclamation, depositing the Government in
the hands of Pavoni, Vega and Salas; but
those gentlemen did not seem to be am
bitious ol retaining the honors. In the City
of Mexico, the populace showed their appre
ciation of their new-found liberty by mob
bing und robbing the bankers. Tha military
fired upon tho mob, and killed some and
wounded others. The new Government sent
expresses tp the various Governors of the
Departments or States, requesting them to
pronounce, and at the same lime they sent
to the commanders of tho liberal forees, to
inform them that everything had been regu
lated according to their views, and to request
them to come to the capital alone, leaving
their forces behind them, for tho purpose of
electing officers and arranging tho Govern
ment. The libentl party, however, were not
satisfied, and sent to tho commander, tell
ing them to bring their forces, and that they
would be able to carry out their plans. Tho
Government was, in fact, composed of a
■ large proportion of tho members of tho last
| one, closely united with the Church, for
j which reasons the liberals could not unopt it.
Tho press is now free and the Verdatl, the
Monitor Republicano, the l'atra and the Rev
olution, had reappeared.
Republican Convention.
rtTTsnußG, Sept. b. —The Republican State
Convention assembled here to-day. There
were about 3000 persons in nttendnnce from
different parts of the Sta'e. After a prelimi
nary organization a committee on officers
was appointed, who reportod the Hon. VVm.
| Jessup, ol Susquehanna, for President, and
the usual number of Viae Presidents and Sec
retaries.
9 o'clock, P. M —The Convention is still
in session, and has just nominated l'assmore
Williamson for Canal Commissioner,- amid
great enthusiasm.
Joshua Giddings is now addressing the Con
vention. It will probably adjourn to night.
EMIGRATION TO MINESOTA.-— Our Western
Territories are being settled with hardy pion
eers, with a credible. Among
others, Minesota is fast being covered with
-intelligent and enterprising citizens. Large.
! numbers, says the Chicago Daily Press, are
| exploring Southern Minesota. Many arc al
so wending their w%y northwest to the south
bend of the Minesota, and up tho valley of
that beautiful river. Most of the country be-
I tweett Lacrosse and Mankato is very fine,
well watered, with timber at convenient dis
tances. The soil of the prairies is excellent,
ami everything invites the industrious and thu
enterprising to seek a home in that fertile
and healthful region. Laud can bo had at
government price, of the very best quality.—
Ibq settlers are principally Irorn northern N.
Yoik, Ohio, and Canada West. A year ago
a pioneer by the name n[ John Robinson,
settled in "High Forrest," in southern Mines
ota, and at the time his nearest neighbor was
thirty mihis distant, in the difbetion of a town
called Lacrosso. There are now seventy-two
houses on the same road. Mills and stores
have also been erected, and improvement is
the order of the day.
STRONG PROOF OF POPULARITY. —A corres
pondent of the New York Post, who went
out with Colonel Kinney on his "mission"
to Nicaragua, speaks in very high terms of
the Colonel's purposes, and his popularity
among tbo Gieyiovvn people. Nobody can
resist the influence of the lascinatingKinney.
An Irish sailor was so charmed with him
and his mission to establish the "church and
the school house," that lie could not be kept
on board his vessel, but jumped from tho
rigging) where he liad been sent, into the
soa, preferring to rrn the risk of becoming
a meal lor an alligator rather than not assist
the Colonel in his pious work. The tempta
tion was too strong for the alligator to resist,
anil he accordingly took the matt in; but, by
anticipating the Colonel in this way, it saved
tho Irishman a deal of disappointment.—
Ledger.
SANTA ANNA, when he abdicated, issued
an address, denouncing the " scandal, dis
honor and petfidy of his enemies had reach
ed the extreme of associating not only with
tbo fillibusters of the North, but with troops
of the United States, who passing the fron
tier in the disguise of desetters, are led by
rebels ar.d unworthy Mexicans, who teach
them tho road by which to invade their na
tive land ; to assassinate with rifles the Mex
ican soldiers who defend the sovereignty and
integrity of their territory." In tho midst of
the excitement in the capital, caused by San
ta Anna's flight, the American injuister pro
cured the release of the only two American
prisoners there.
IMPREGNABLE. —A Russian, iu New Yo'k,
says Swoaborg is impregnable, and that the
Allied fleet could have done nothing more, in
their late attack, than destroy a few buildings
by burning ; that the works could not be in
jured by the kind of fire the licet appeals to
have directed against the place We shall
know the lacts in a lew-days. The despatch
es from the Allied admirals are certainly
unsatisfactorily brief; but whether designed
ly so, from the lack of any decided results or
not, the next news will probably determine.
—Ledger.
receipts of the first nigh! of Rachel
in New York are "estimated" at 85,000. —
The critioisms of the New York press on her
acting are agonizing. The critics roll up their
eyes in a fine phrensy and talk deliriously of
her hair, her nose, her eyes he;- form, her
breath, the folds of her dress, nnythitig but

The extraordinary effect these Pills have up
on all complaints peculiarly incidental to fe

In the female hospitals in Vienna, Paris,
ami Berlin, they have euiiroly superseded the
use of all oihor remedies; because, where a
cure is attainable by medicinal agencies,
they are certain of success. Their astonish- !
ing efficacy would be almost incredible, if |
