HARRISBURG, Sept. 20.—The following ad drers Irom the Central Committees ol :he Whig, Republican and American parties, has been published to the people of this Stale. TO TIIE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA. The Whig party, the Republican party, and the American party, having each nomi nated a candidate for the office of Canal Commissioner, it becomes apparent that such a division of the elements or opposi tion to Ihe National Administration, and iis Nebiaska fraud, would inevitably lend to the triumphant election of Arnold Plnmor, the pro-slavery Nebraska candidate—in view of these facta, a meeting of our resprctive Cen tral Committees of said parlies wus held at Harrisbutg, on Thursday, the 27th of Sep tember, 1855, and their nominees having declined and been withdrawn, Thomas Nich olson, of Beaver county, was nominated as Ihe candidate of the said parties, for lite pur pose of concentrating ihe votes ot the anti- Nebraska party on one man : and he is here by earnestly recommended to all the lovers of freedom in Pennsylvania, as a capable, honest and true-hearted man, who is worthy of the support and confidence of Ihe people. By order of Ihe Committees. JOHN A FISHER, Chairman Whig Slate Committee. LEMUEL TODD, Chairman American Slate Committee. DAVID WILMOT, Chairman Republican State Committee. It was a complaint by the conscientious portion of the Know Nothings that the old parties contained evils, among the most griev ous of which was, that the masses were too much under the control of their leaders. But the above circular exhibits a degree cf pre sumption in parly leaders such aa was never before witnessed in Pennsylvania. Messrs. Fisher, Todd, and Wilraot attempt to lead their several parlies by the nose, and set aside the action of three State conventions as cool ly as the dictator ol France or Mexico could abrogate the election or action of Ihe people. Three parties held their cousultstions, and the people sent delegatos to the several Stale conventions to (elect fit candidates. It can not be pretended that Messrs. Martin, Hen derson and Williamson are not true repre sentatives of their several parties; but the three dictators get together at midnight and knock down the nominees as easily as they would so many playthings at a game of ten pins. Like the same number of bovine gen tlemen in a china shop, they play the deuse with the party crockery-ware of the Know Nothings, Whigs and Republicans. It remains to be seen how tar the trick of the three thimble-riggers can dupe the |reo ple. No person will be deceived by so shameless an amalgamation of political prof ligates except those who wish to be seduced Wilrnot and Todd look back upon the Dem ocratic household like the rebellious and lost Lucifer upon Paradise, with the muttering" of the deep curse that grows from envy.— Apostates are always desperate; for having lost ll.e pride ol self-respect, they have grown callous in the nerve of honor, and indifferent to the respect ol good and honesl men. Their passion of the hate against the cause of the people has eaten out all that was ever noble in their hearts, until that passion has become their master, and they its helpless ami hope less victims. How do you like 111 Those Democrats who have sold themselves to the Know Nothings now find themselves tied down to vote for Whig Know Nothings for Assembly and Sheriff, and in return are promised a paltry vole for a Treasurer who was once a Democrat! That is, the Whig branch of the concern asks the only offices worth having, and leaTes the crumbs to the duped tools who have been tempted from the Democratio fold. Truly these Democrats have •old themselves for a mess of pottage, and a very small mess at that. Let those prodigals see how they have been made hewers of wood and drawers of water to their new task-masters, and how only the husks are held out to them. In a county like this where there is a Democratic majority, auch a ticket a* that formed by the Whig Know Nothing conspirators ia an insult to those Democrats who have been silly enoosh to aell themselves for so low a price. How 4o they like the ticket 1 The office of Member ot the Legislature ia Ihe ouly one of any political consequence of those to be voted for this fall, and that candi date the Wbigs take in the formation of the Know Nothing ticket. The office of Sheriff ia Ihe next in consequence and worth, and that candidate 100 the Whigs take. When the division of officers came to be made, the Wblga seem to have done like the Yankee to the Indian—never onoe to have said " tor key " to the Demoerats whom they had tempt ed to betray their faith and household; True, in aa much aa tbe ticket of the Jacobins stands no ohance of success this ia a matter e( no consequence, except se indicating the disposition and complexion of the party. lie only Spites Himself- IT la a common occurrence that when a man fails to gel e Democratic nomination, or ia defaated for township delegate he joins the Know Nothings " for spite," as vulgar par lance well describes it. This only proves that the party did well in not placing him ill a position ol trust and responsibility. If be is so inuch the victim of his passions and weak ness that he cannot say "gel thee behind me" when Ihe Know Nothing leaders oome around him and tempt hint with the offer of the whole world if he will fall down and worship them, while the poor devils have nothing to give him, he was not a safe man for a leader in the cause of the people. Such men should be thankful if the kindness of their polilioal friends will ouly veil the infirmities of their frail nature in sddhoe. If he cannot resist the temptations of error when the spirits of seduction tap him famil iarly on Ihe shoulder at midnight and explain "how mean the Loco-focoa have used him," he spiles no one but himself in going into the dark gangway that leads to the conspira tors lodge, or in sneaking into woodsheds and butcher shops to swear fealty to their bid ding. He lakes the oath of eternal hostility sgsinst his old politioal household and hence fotth he is an alien to the cause of the peo ple. He has raised his hand to swear against his brother who worships the same God by another form of prayer. He ia frightened at the head of a Christian church, and sells him self to a Protetlaut Pope who knocks down and sets up at his will candidates fur the poor dupe's vote. We pity him, for we cannot hate :he frail ty of his natuie. But he is joined to his idols; let him alone. Alas, that Truth should have come to such a tearful discount ! He has forsworn the teelings of humanity and broth erhood which was in his heart, and from henceforth he must remember his vow to hate und fear his brother of another creed.— I He feels that aoine secret letter binds him j when he meets you, and you notice with re gret that ttie open frankness of his manner has become sicklied over with the pale, greenish cast of suspicion. He dares not de fend the oath he has taken when you con demn it, and his tongue is dumb when you rebuke his new found friends. He hangs his head in silence to Ihe condemnation of thai cojspiracy of which he is a part; and gradu ally wears off ihe shame lie first felt when thrice each day with a falsehood be denied his maslors. Party Hacks. When the Know-Nolhing party begar. its career it proudly vuunted of its purity in ta king men for candidates fresh from the ranks ol the people, and not "old parly hacks."— Let us see how the praotioe squares with the profession. The Know-Nothing candidate for VJ. S. Senator last winter was one of the most unscrupulous politioal prostitutes in the State. In this county last fall the candidates were men who had been faithful to no party and DO political faith. This fall the Know- Nothing candidate for Assembly is a man who once ran as the Whig candidate for Commissioner, and afterward for the same office on the "repeal" ticket. The candi date for Sheriff was once by accident elected to the Legislature, and while he professed to belong to the Whig party he was able to con trol three voters on the locsl question against a division of this count). The county was divided that year, and Johnston and Best sold out Mr. Former, who fell as da fenceless as a lamb. Next year he was want ed to I}F a candidate for Member on the re peal ticket, hut no inan could be found to move in his favor. The Know-Nothing candidste for Treasu rer was for some years a standing applicant for the the legislative i.ominatinii. and was finally elected county Auditor. Two years ago he was on the lookout for the Treasurer nominaliou. On the other hand Mr. Miller, the Demo cratic candidate for Sheriff, never asked for an office, and was most likely never in a po litical convention. The same thißg can be said of Mr. Fahringer, and these men present a character beautifully in contrast with the dilapidated politicians on the Know Nothing ticket. Let the part) of political Jacobins take the beam out of their own eyes before they talk of "political hacks" and "old fo gies" in the Democratio ranks. Abuse and Three ( epics for a Quarter. Our readers will excuse us for the high price of 25 cents which we last week set as the pay given by John Stewart for the abuse of Mr. Mernfield in the Democrat. The editor says we are in ertoi, because Ihe 25 cents was paid not only for defaming Mr. Merrifield. but also fur two copies of the "Democrat" to Mr. Stewart and one to Mr. Merrifield. The price of three newspapers from 25 cents will leave about 12i cents as the pay for the at tack upon the Democratic nominee in Lu xerne for the Legislature, because he did not pay a hill lor printing whioli he never order ed. Or we may say that we were siill rijbt: the quarter paid for (he abuse and the three j newspapers were thrown in lor good meas- { ure. The Colonel says the quarter paid lor the newspapers and the abuse waa thrown in to make up the worth of Mr. Stewart's mon ey. We dou't much care which way the reader counts. The only error we made was to value the Democrat's abuse at t quarter when it is proved to be only worth about 124 oents. For lommisslooer The Know Nothings have coaxed out Philip Cool of Roaringcreek, as we see by the last issue of their organ. Several years ago the same print announced him for County Audi tor, but as the true Democrats oi the county knew that Mr. Cool, like the Colonel, was, as the K tow Nothings and Wbiga say: "no Locn-Foco to hurt".be did not get ou the ticket. We believe Mr. Cool has generally talked Democracy heretofore, und ended by voting with the opposition against tha Dem ocratic tick*!. He was therefore a very prop er pieee of material out of whieh to manu facture a part of the Know Nothing ticket. GT The sale of Mr. Dreiebach'a property has been changed in date to the 3d of No vember. * The Know-Not king Ticket! FOR ASSEMBLY, JOHN STALEY. FOB SHERIFF, BENJAMIN P. F<SRTNER. FOR TREASURER, WILLIAM COLE. FOR COMMISSIOSER, PHILIP COOL. No person would for a moment think of comparing Mr. Slaley's fitness for a legislator with the talents and capacity of Mr. Mont gomery. The Democratic nominee would be an honor to the district and an ornament to the House of Representatives. If it were possible for Mr. Sialey to be eleo'ed and an emergency should arise in which the dis trict would require his influence we doubt very mch whether he could command more voles from his party to serve the inter est of his constituents than the tkrtt which his Whig predecessor • few years ago se oured against division. Mr. Staley may be a good man in his place, but legislation is certainly out of his line of business. For Treasurer every person who knows the two men will admit that Esquire Harris is the more competent business man for the office. He would attend to the office him self and not by dsptdy; and when the people vote for an officer they want him to do the duties of the office, and not some irresponsi ble deputy who sneaks into and out of Know Nothing lodges. I# A Know Nothing always says "you cannot prove I hat I belong to the order," and the Colonel of the Democrat has caught up the strain and says "you cannot prove that I opposed Democratic nominations. He seems to have forgotten that he last fall abused Democratic nominees, and explained in his paper how often the Know Nothing candi dates had fought, bled and died for their coun try, and how the "rising family" of ihe bloody heroes cried out to the people for support.— He forgets how two years ago in the paper published immediately after the election he raised a shout ol joy over Ihe defeat o! a Democratic nomination. Serious Accident at Dunville. DANVILLE, Pa., Sept. 29th.—This morning, at about 25 minutes before 5 o'clock, the largest boiler of six, bursted in Ihe Rough & Ready Rolling Mill—the westend flying out some three feet, and the boiler, 24 feet long torn from its place, carrying ofl bricks, pipes, and tearing out the east end of the Mill.— i The boiler struck the ground and turned a complete somersault in its course, knocked down the out kitchen and went into the di ning room of Mr. John Coker's house, one 1 hundred and thirty-five yards from the place of starting. A boy, son of Jesse Sholes, had his arm broken ; one man had a leg broken ; two other boys slightly wounded by flying I bricks. Mr. Coker and family were sleep ing in the room over the dining-room, and although the wing or Ihe house is a perfect wreck, no one in the bouse was hurt. The loss will be about three thousand dollars.— The enterprising proprietor, Messrs. Han cock and Foly, are already at work with a strong foroe clearing away the rubbish. They will be at work in a fortnight hence. The workmen say that the waler was not low in the boiler at the lime it bursted. J. H. T. The President nt Harrisburg. HARRISBURQ, Sept. 28.—President Pierce and suite, the Judges of the Supreme Court, President Gowen, of the State Society, Sec retary Walker, and Ex-Governor Bigler, at tended the ball last evening. The President was received, on the part of the Committee, by Capt. Bond, of Philadelphia. Brant's Hall was crowded on the occasion. The de spatch of the news by the America was read in the hall and created great sensation. The President left for Washington at 8 o'clock. The PresiJent expressed his gratification with his visit. Visiters are now leaving for their homes. The ploughing match commenced at 11 o'clock, and is now progressing. Twelve ploughs were entered for the trial. The Btate Fair. HARRISBURG. Sept. 28.—Nearly 20,000 per •ons were on the Fair gronnds at 2 o'clock to-day during the address of Mr. Watts.— This afternoon the Judges read the award of premiums. All the Philadelphia exhibi tors received premiums. Mr. Gowen received five premiums for Durham slock Messrs. Evans, of York, and Ewing, of Fayette, also received premiums for Durham stock. Mr. Cook, of Chester county, received a premium for best sheep. Numerous premiums for horses were awar ded. A dinner was given this afternoon, at which the usual congratulations were given. At 8 o'clock the town is comparatively empty of strangers. IRON RAILING.—Iron is now used for al mosi every imaginable purpose—for build ing, for railing, an.! even for ornamental stat uary and furniture. At the establishment of Robert Wood in Philadelphia verandahs, statuary, Newfoundland dogs, greyhounds, lions, fountains, spiral and straight stairs, ta bles, settees, chairs, hat and umbrella stands, flower vases and stands are cast to suoh cor rect taste as to gin admiration from every refined mind. Books of designs with the prices of each article marked can be seen at this office. The establishment is the one at which Ihe iron railings of this town have been generally purchased.

ON Saturday, Sept. 291h, the Teacher's As sociation of Colombia county, met at the Academy in Bloomsburg, Mr. Wearer pre siding. Alter some brief remarks from the Presi dent as to the business and objects of the Association, Mr. William Kahler was called upon for an essay upon the subject of Astron omy, in pursuance to the allotment of subjects by the Executive Committee. Mr. Kahler read an essay, and continued in some addi tional oral remarks. Mr. Abia John being called upon read an essay upon the subject of Physiology in Schools. Some further remarks upon the subject were made by Mr. Wearer. Mr. C. P. Hill, in answer to the allotment of subjects by the Executive Committee, read an essay upon the subject of Reading as an Amusement. Mr. Kahler addressed the Association with some views and suggestions as to the meth od of teaching the full soience of language in connection with reading exercises, so as to embrace a knowledge of the construction of words and their meaning. Further re marks upon the same subject were made by Messrs. Weaver and Burgess) Mr. HiU was called upon for views upon the best method of teaching reading and the best works for that purpose. He was in fa vor of Saunder's aeries of readers except the first number. Mr. H. Coons was called upon for sugges tions upon the subject of ooirect reading, and made some pertinent remarks. Ho recom mended it as an occasional exercise to com mand the voice to give confidence, tone and regularly to the scholars delivery, but mainly as a preparation for learning music. Mr. Burgess followed upon the same subject, i Mr. Burgess was then called upon for sug gestions upon the efficacy of Pelton's Out line Maps in teaohing Oeography. He had used these maps to some extent, and had found that some of the most excellent schol ars in Geography had learned by this system. The key might be used along, or the maps used in connection with any work on Geog raphy. Mr. Weaver followed in some excuse of Pelton's system from the abuses it had sul fered in the hands of itinerant teachers who had dependad almost entirely up or. the ver ses in the book for leaching the scholar. He explained that no system of artificial memory, mnemonics or mnemotechna, can be relied on for permanont and general instruction, but that all science must be learned by the natu ral association of new ideas and facts with those already iu the mind for which tbey have affinity or siiiiffitude. The verses were designed as exercises to interest the young, and to commence the study of music, but not to be learned by rote. Mr. Coons followed in some remarks in the same direction. After some consultation aa to future meet ings of the Association, Rev. Ccnley Plotts of Muncy having arrived was invited to ad dress the Association. He did so to the en couragement and interests of the members. He spoke of the great and good work which the teacher has before him, with earnest zeal for the cause of education. On motion of Mr. John, it was Resolved, that ibe thanks of this Association are hereby tendered to Mr. Plotts for bis attendance and encouraging address. The meeting then adjourned to meet next at Millville on Saturday the Bth of December next. '• Disgust Tor the wild hunt after Office which characterizes the present age" Was proclaimed at Reading as one of the articles of faith of the Know-Nothing party. This tine sentiment was thrown out as a tid bit for innocents to nibble at. No one can be but struck witb the beautiful consistency of ibis principle with the practice of those who promulgated it; coming as it does from Ex Governor Johnston and such other politi cal hucksters, who have been "everything at times and nothing long,"—who chamelion like have changed their principles and their party, and followed every flag that promised plunder if successful. In one view of the case there is a moral in the sentiment which we have taken for our text. Looking upon it as the sincere ex pression of disappointed and despairing men, it is the sad story of experience. After wast ing the noblest energies of their best days in the wrangles and strifes of politics, and after joining, year after year, with unabated zeal in tha hot chase for place and plunder, until, like broken down coursers, they weie turned out by the old parties to graze upon the waste places, or be fed by the charily of the world ; after enduring all this, they sum up their sorrows and proclaim their bitter conviction of "disgust for the wild hum after office." They joined in the 'wild hums,' found little game, and are disgusted. But we are not justified in taking this expression as sincere, for the very men who uttered it, and the very party that clings <o it, aie still baying ami yelping the loudest, and lustiest in that same "wild hunt." Every county has its scores of office seekers in the K. N. party, and they carry this resolution as a mask to conceal their faces: lest otherwise they should inspire in those recognizing them the same feelings for themselves, which, in their hypocrisy, they profess towards office aekers generally.— Harrisburg Patriot. How LONO THE VVsa HAS LASTED.—The war in Europe is already two years old. The Russian ambassador left Constantinople on the 22d of May, 1853, and on the 4th of Jnne the English aud French fleets received or ders to approach the Dardanelles, and they anchored in Besika Bay. On the 26th of June the Emperor of Russia ordered his ar my to occupy the Principalities. On the Utb of September two Freooh and two English war steamers, from the fleet at Besika Bay, went to Constantinople. Oil the 27th ihe Porie declared war agains I Russia and invi ted tha English and French fleets to Constan tinople. On the 2d of November the Em peror of Russia declared war agamst Turkey. The French declaration of war was made in March, 1851. ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. Assault on 8bHopol. The French la Possession of the Malakoll, The British Attack on the Redan Repulsed. The City Evacuated and Destroyed by the Russians. THE RUSSIANS OCCUPV THE NOSTHERN SORTS. LOSS OF UPWAKIM OF 30,000 MEN. NEW YORE, Sept. 28.—The Halifax steam er, America, and the Bremen steamer Wash ington, both arrived yesterday, the latter at New York. The news they bring Is highly important. It tells of the destruction of Se bsstopol by the Russians, after a terrible as sault by the Allies, in which they were re peatedly repulsed, but the French finally ef fected a lodgment in the MalakofT, when the Russians evacuated the town, destroying ev erything in their retreat. The loss of the Allies is said to be 20,000; the Russians 10,- 000. The Russians now occupy the forts on the north part of the harbor, including Fort Con stantino, at Ihe mouth of the harbor, the Cen tral Fort, Fort Catharine, and a number of powerful batteries. The News by the Washington. NEW YORE, Sept. 27.—8y the United States mail steamship Washiugton, Captain Connel ly, from Bremen and Southampton, we re ceive English despatches and newspapers to the 12th instant. She brings 320 passen gers. The steamship America arrived at Liver pool on the 9th inst. The Washington brings (he important intel ligence of the " Fall of Sebastopol On the Bth insl. the allied forces attacksd the defen ces of Sebastopol and the French succeeded in gaining possession of the Malakoff. The English, who attempted the Redan, were not successful. During the night, the Russians began lo sink their ships, blow up their mag azines, and burn their city, and on the follow ing morning Sebastopol was evacuated, and Ihe communication between the north forts and the town broken off. The following telegraphic despatch, receiv ed by izird Panmure from Gen. Simpson, ap. peared in the English morning journals of the 1 Ith inst.: -'Sebastopol is in possession of the Allies. The enemy, during the night and morning, evacuated the south side, after ex ploding their magazines and setting fire to Ihe whole of the town. All the men-of-war were burnt during the night, With the excep tions of Ijtree steamers, which were playing about Ihe harbor. The bridge communica ting with Ihe north side is broken. General Simpson regrets that the casualties in (be attempt on the Redan were somewhat heavy, but there was no general officer kill ed In a supplement of the Moniteur the fol lowing telegraphic despatch, received by the French government from Gen. Pelissier ap pears: Karabeluaia, the soulh part of Sebas topol, no longer exists. The enemy, perceiv ing our solid occupation of the Malakoff, de cided upon consuming the place after having destroyed and blown up by mines nearly all the defences. Having passed the night in the midst of my troops, I can assure you that everything in the Karabelnaia is blown up, and from what I could see, the sa.ne must be the case in front of our left line of attack.— This immense success does the greatest hon or to our troops. Everything is quiet on the Tchernaya. The assanlt on the MalakofT was at noon of the Bth inst. The redoubts and the Redan of Careening bay were carried by storm by the French soldiers, with admirable intrepid j ity to the shouts of Vive I'Empereur. The Redan of Careening bay was not tenable, owing to the heavy fire of artillery which was poured upon the first occupiers of that work. On beholding the French eagles floating on the Malakofl, Gen. de Suites made two at tacks on the Central Bastion, but did not suc ceed. Tbe French Troops retnrned lo tbeir trenches. The losses was serious. The plan of the battle appears to have been as follows :—The place was attacked in four directions. The British troops attempted the storming of the Redan; the French attacked ihe MalakofT. The extreme right of the French made a diversion ol the little Redan, and a united attack of the English, French and Sardinians was made on the Central Bat tery. All the attacks were made simultane ously with great spirit and energy ; but the one which waa moat eminently successful, was led by Gen. Bosqnet and M'Mahon on the Malakoff. Both the Redan and Central Bastion were at times in the hands of the storming parties, but so accurately did the guns of the Russians cover these, that as soon aa the English had gained possession of them it waa found impossible to hold them. „ The following despatch is from Prince GortetcbakofT, and is dated tbe night of the 9th. "'lhe garrison of Sebastopol, after sus taining an infernal fire, repulsed its assaults, but did not d'ive the enemy from Ihe Mala, koff Tower. Our brave troops, who resisted to the last extremity, are now crossing over lo tbe northern part of Sebastopol. The ene. my found nothing on tbe southern part but blood-stained ruins. On the 9lh of Septem ber the passage lo the northern side was ac complished with the loss of 100 men. We left, I regret to say, 500 men previously woun ded on the south side." The intelligence of the fall of Sebastopol was received in London with demonstrations of great joy. At the various theatres and pla ces of publio amusement, the fact was offi cially announced, and the bands at each place immediately played the national an thems of England and Frar.ce, and through-, out England (he demonstrations wets gen eral. The English loss in tbe sjwault on the Re dan is estimated at 2Q&O killed and wound et).

ANDRES FELLOWS, ADAM LUTZ. Holloioay's Ointment and Pills, infallible Remedies for Salt Rheum.—Edward Jackson of Galveston, Texas, suffered unceasingly for four years with salt rheum, so bad was he that for four or fire months at a lime, he was compelled to keep his bed, and the doctors told nim candidly that he need never again expect to be well.
