Nervous people need not be (booked by (he romon of a war between: .the Un ted and England, for even sensible Eng lishmen are now ashamed that any of their •countrymen made Judya of themaelvea by ' -attempting to raise a "muse." England has 'had every nerve and muscle rackeJ by the 'Crimean war, and her people will not suffer her rulers to begin another war. But It is now evident that if the Allies had ■crushed Russia with one blew, this republic would at least be annoyed by insolence and arrogance from John Bull. The present is really an auspicious time for the United Slates to settle every difficulty in relation to the Mosquito territory, and to establish for ever the Monroe doctrine that tx> country ahsll build up ■ pseudo-monarchy at our door to vex ua. The demoralizing effect of the present war will be felt by England as severely as the grip upon her treasury. And it will be years before she can reonver from the shook. This demoralization wilt run through her people, and the cost of this contest will for ages crush down the energy and -industry ol the loiUman. Her old debt did already enough of that, but now there is a new load of tax upon her labor, and of desolation, despera tion and.ruin upon her families. It will be wel] for ber rulers to remember that it ie'the last feather which breaks tha camel's back. CUNUHRM Will again assemble on Monday week, Dec. 3J. Already a number of members have ar rived at the Capital, and there will, without doubt, be a quorum present at the opening of the session. The peculiar complexion of the House—neither of the three parties into which the members ure classed, having a majority by itself—may cause a delay in the election ol Speaker and organization of that body, eimilar to wbat was experienced in tbe organization of the House of 1849-50. For this reason, we suppose, it has beer, de termined that no copies of the President's Message shall be eent out to the newspaper! of the principal cities, in adrance of its do livery, to Congress. We anticipate a protracted and stormy ses sion, growing out of the slavery question, and tbe somewhat unsettled slate of our foreign relations. The House of Representatives will be the great arena of strife—but we look with confidence to the conservatism and pa triotism of the Senate and Executive, to'save the gjuntry front the recklessness and inca pacity of the factions whose possible fusion in opposition to the Administrstion, may give them tbe dominance in the lower branch ol Congress. The Troth admitted. If will be remembered that immediately after the enactment of the blnody scenes whicheharsctetizvd the Louisville election, the Know Nothings everywhere attempted to fasten tbe responsibility of these sanguinary outrages upon the Democratic party and its friends. Pious editors labored ardently to convince the public that Know Nothingism wae not to blame for iheee outrages—that tbe supporters of that parly were beyond cen •ore—that Democracy end Democracy alone, wae to shoulder the awlul responsibility.— Conscious of.its innocence, the organs of the Democatic party remrined calm, and quietly awaited lor a time to clear the record. The 'National Intelligencer,* a paper which stands confessedly at the bead of the opposition to Democracy in the Union, thus speaks on this -snbject.* We ask the oandid of all parties to read: "After a careful examination of ell that we have seen bearing on the point, after an un prejudiced study of the articles that have ap peared on tha subject in the Louisville jour nals, we believe that the blood of the slain is on the hands of the Know Nothing*. The .proofe are many and convincing." The Crimean War. Tbe sanguine expectation* entertained by the public in England and Franco of the speady evacuation of the Crimea by the Rue sians have ptoved alogetber unfounded.— Further then this, it ie generally admitted that Ihe.allied forces will not undertake to drive them out of the pen into I* before the spring of 1866, The Russian* will unquestionably defend all the positions still held by them ■with tha same tenacity and bravery with which they defended the fortress of Sebaeto pol. The Allies have not yelthown the hold pest to follow up their successes agaioslKhi bum and Ocyakoff", by proceeding further in to the ipterior and at tacking Nicofsieff and Cherson, and tbue interrupting the supplies for the Russian army in the Crimea. There Is ho more talk about tha Russians being surrounded by the Allies ; on the con trary, -ii appears from advices from the' Cr imea that (he Allies,themselves are expect ing an attack from the Russian*.

" PAPER MAKING— It affords us pleasure o note the improvement in the quality of ne paper, now made at the mill of Messrs. Win. Mi'Kelvy & Co., at Csttawisss, Colum bia-Co., Pa. This mill has recently uttder ;ono the most thorough repairs, which has run their slock of paper rather low, but we believe in no instance have their cos omers been obliged to go elsewhere. The mprovement in the newspaper of their late tnanulacinre—of which this sheet ia a spec men—is not inferior to the best of York State manufacture for newspaper purposee.— There is also a uniformity in the stock that saves the pressman much vexatiou.

OF" Tin LIQUOR LAW IN LANCASTER —The Grand Juty of Lancaster county have refused lo find bills of indictment against the persons charged with tbe violation of the new liquor law, on the ground that the law is unconsti tutional, and have directed the prosecutor! to pay the costs. The number of cases thus disposed of is 84, and the Suturday Exprett, a high prohibition journal, it full of wrslh at tbe result. It exclaims: "Great God! has it come to this, that a ju ry el Lancaster county, many of whom nev er read lite constitution, presumptuously set them Jelves op as the supreme judicial powet of the Stale, and boldly bid the most daring oudawa go free, because, in their opinion, the law under which they are indicted is 'un constitutional.'

The faeU of the case,. aa near aa we can lean them, are aa (ollowa; John Veiungruber resided in Elkland township, in this county, on I •mall farm, with hie wife; they had alwayi lived in peace together till last Spring, when Kane came to the house of Veitangrabpr tt live. Veitangruber and Kann frequently had quarrels, and on the- 15th of May last, Vei tangruber auddenly disappeared, and it war alleged by Kann and Veitangrnber'e wife, that he had gone to Canton, Bradford Coun ty. A short time after his disappearance, Kann was seen to have on Veitangruber'i clothes and watch, which, together with oth er circumstances, excited the suspicion of the neighbors, that all waa not right, and Kann and Veitangruber'a were arrested, and brought before John Black, Justice of rhe Peace, in that township, but nothing beir.g proved against them, they were discharged. One day last week, as Joseph McCarty was crossing the field, a feaf rods from Vei- house, became to ■ tree just in the edge of theewoods, which had been blown over by the wine, and immediately under the roots of which, had been a hole Hug and filled partly up again. The tree had been cut off, and efiorts been made— judging from appearances, to turn the stump back to its natural place. The loose dirt was taken from the hole, and several pieces of human flesh were found in the dirt—a part of tho fool and hand, and one toe-nail and a portion of the face and whiskers. The body had evidently been burieJ there,'with the intention of turning the stump back again, am/ thus covering the grave entirely op, but being unable to pry the stump back, the body was disinterred, end concealed in an other place. No piece was found large enough to be identified as that of the body of Veitangruber, but it is evident that foul means have bben used on some one. Since the disappearance of Veitangruber, Kann and Veitangruber'a wife have been liv ing together in an unlawful manner.—Sulli van Democtat. Illegality of Know-Nolhlnglsra. The AJississippian publishes a letter from Judge J. S. B. THATCHER, of Natchez,giving it as his opinion that Know-Nothingism is a criminal organization, a conspiracy to do an unlawful act by depriving Roman Catholics and naturalized citizens cf their rights; and that the law providet a full remedy. Similar opinions have been given by Hon. J. M. porter, Hon. Wm. B. Reed, and John M. Reed, Esq., of Pennsylvania, and by Hon. J. D. Freeman, late Attorney General of Mississippi. This, to say the least, is very good authority, and should cause the honest masses to think seriously on the subject of thd legality ol this oath-bound order. Human liberty is a blessing not to be tri fled with; and whether that liberty iaexcer cised in a religious, a political, or a social I way, it is one of the most cherished rights ol man. It is the love of it that has kept the Circassians for ages in their mountain faalne, nnJ nerved ilieiu to resist 'the countless hosts of Tartary and Russia. It was a love for this Heaven-promised boon which rang in the voice of HENRT when he electrified an American Congress with his eloquence, and thrilled their hearts with tbe sentence —" Give nte liberty or give me death I" It was a love for it which drove our lathers to bleed at Bunker Hill and Sar atoga, and conquer at Yorklown. All past history goes to show that the human mind panis for it, strives for it, flourishes with it, and, without it, pines and deteriorates. Civil liber'.y is defined lobe "the liberty of men in a slate of society, or natural liber ty, so fsr only abridged or' restrained as is necessary and expedient for the safety and | interest of the society, slate, or nation. A restraint of natural liberty, not necessary or | expedient for the public, ia tyranny or oppres sion. It >s an exemption from the arbitrary will of others, which exemption is secured by established laws, which restrain every man from injuring or controlling another."— The Governments under which we live have I established laws calculated to preserve to • very man the enjoyment ol this liberty.— These laws have, in the opinion of the 'dis i tiuguished gentlemen whose names we have oiled, and others, been violated by the order commonly known as Know-Nothings! That this has been done, a candid public must ad mit. The Constitution ol the United Stales de clares that ''Congress shall make no law re specting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."— Know-Nothingism declares that Protestantism only shall be recognized aa a religion, and that persons professing the Roman Catholic fail" shall not be permitted to bold office under the Government. The electioh laws of Pennsylvania provide thst no man ahall unduly influence or overawe a voter in the discharge cf his duty. Know- Nothingism does unduly influence and over awe men who have become connected with it, and coerces them iuto supporting Its men and measure*. Here we have two direct vi olations of the Constitution and laws of the country, by an oath-bound political associa tion. Is it.astonishing, then, that men who love their country, and reverence religion, shoulJ speak out against such an organiza tion I— Harrisburg Patriot.

W All who attend the Association will be entertained free of expense. W. B. Iy On last Saturday eleven teachers were examined. The ranks are Riling up, but there ia yet a demand for more. HT Directors should in no instance hire a teacher before he has a certificate. His qual ifications may, upon examination, prove very poor, and not at all deserving the wages agreed to be paid. It it important that di rectors grade the wages according to the pro ficiency of teachers. This is done ia every other bovine as. The expert receive* good wage*, while he who i* imperfect in bis art must take test. The only way to induce teachers to qualify themselves ia te pay good wagos to good teachers and poor wages to poot teachers. MENTAL ARITHMETIC.— -We hope 100 see this important branch of education thorough ly pursued during this winter's schools. All children should commerce the study, as soon as they are able to rpad jr) the 2d and 3d Readers. ARITHMETIC- The old system of teaching arithmetic is very defective aud slow. If the scholar is set in a comer to guess out hie problems, he will try different methods until accident and not undemanding, brings the answer, and then he is much more pleased than instruct ed. But the rules should be learned by clas ses, and there should be recitations and exer cises on tho blackboard in arithmetic ae well as ia geography. After the recitation of the rule, enough problems under it should be worked out on the blackboard to show that it is understood. Orsl explanations by the teacher can inspire much iniefpst in the class, and all in the class can thus learn at the same time. It lightens the labor for both teacher and scholar. All the late works are arranged to be thus used, and have a series of questions under each rule which are designed to be answer ed by the clas3 as they go through and mas ter each rule in its turn. In our visits to the schools this winter we hope to find that they have been more generally thus used than heretofore. A Mistaken Notion, " He's not a good teacher, but he'll do for our backward school," and such like expres sion* antl mowigM have sometimes oome 10 us in reference to a poor teacher. But we answer if your school is backward you need a good teacher to bring it up—to inspire life, interest, and a taste for study inlo the schol ars. II their instruction has been poor they need some better, or else they will come to look upon all study and learning as dull, dry aud heavy. If we should eend a teacher to your district and ssy "be is poor but will do for your children" you would feel insulted, and yet ibis the spirit of your own message. In visiting the schools last winter we found cases where the scholars had not been taught to answer the most simple questions in the spelling-book, and where scholars bad read three winters without being taught the use of a single pause or mark of explanation. They had not been taught to know a comma from a period, and only knew that all these marks were "stops." The sum of all this is, that if "backward" teachers are continued in "back ward" achools the scholars will always go "backward." Learning Grammar. We copy the fallowing from the Randolph Cilixen :' Ma. EDITOR I hav bin sendip' my darter Nancy to school to a schoolmaster in this na borbood. Last Friday I weut over lo the scool to aee how Nancy was gellia along, and I seea things I didn't like by no mean*.

The moat important feature of the week'i news is the effort made by France and Eng land to bring Sweden into active alliance with them. General Canrobert is in Stockholm, charged with <his mission, and Sweden is re quired either to assent or refuse. THE CRIMEA. From the Crimea there is absolutely noth ing to report. The armies are engaged ic builui.n? hats for the winter, with occasional military promenades and exchange of Ion; shots with the Co"Mk P'cquets. Several rumors of Simpberopo hare tamed out to be fslstf. Letters from Bebastopol say that Ruaeiar projectiles from the north side reach aim' o * every part of the city, and that a desultory fire is kept up on both sides. The Allies say that the Russians, although keeping up a continued fire, are making prep arations for a retreat. Gen. Le Vaillant has been appointed by the French Governor of Sebastopol, Sir Charles Campbell, taking offence at the appointment of Gen. Codringten, has asked leave to return to England. The following is the anbstauce of several official despatches and letters The French will garrison Kinburn; conse quently the Englieh returned to Sebastopol Nov. 3d. All the Turkish force intended for Asia has eft Sebastopol. • A despatch from General Simpson, of Oc ober 27th, says the westber was then mag lificent, and the British troops were heal by. An exchange of prisoners had anived from Ddessa. An Anglo-French force from Enpatoria, mder General d'Allonville, made a recon toieance on the 22d, and falling in with a large force of the enemy, offered battle, but he Russian* retired after an exchange of a ew rounds of artillery. The Allies burned the Village of Schadd- Fka, Karagnrt, Tuzela, and the town ol Saki; ileo, many farms and stores along the route, md on the 24th retained to Enpatoria. Intelligence from Odessa, on the 27th of Dctober, lays that Todtleben is fast rendering Nicolaieff defensible below Passka, where be river is only 600 fathoms broad. Gunbohts manned by the crews of the for ner Black Sea fleet, are stationed, and bat eries are being erected on both aides of the :iver. The inhabitants ol Nicolaieff and Cberson ire informed that those cities may be attack id, and large numbers have gone into the Interior, at government expense. It is reported that Odessa will be disarmed, and the guns were sent to Nicolaieff. General Luders, with the grenadiers and cavalry, is posted botween Kinburn and Chor ion. It is confirmed that the Czar and the Grand Duke Constantino witnessed the oaptuie of Kinburn, from Oichakoff. St. Petersburg despatches say the Russian irmy in the Crimea has provisions for eight months.

VoUt of New York and Philadelphia. —The Philadelphia papers have published acom cara'.lve table of votes given by New Ynrk rad Philadelphia at the recent elections, in crder to prove that the latter oity is coming close oq the heels of New York in point of copulation.

To ad drees, then, to this inflammable people such language as the Times ases in reference to to tho misunderstanding between the two countries, can have no other object than lo precipitate hostilities, and produoe the very calamities which the writers profess to de plore. See, for instance, how a desire for peace can be insultingly conveyed: "We de sire above all things'" says the first leader in ihe Timet of Thursday, "a continuance of peace, but if it be the determination of any large portion of the United Stales to force war upon us, we shall know bow to meet It end repel it, without relaxing for an iqptaot oar gripe on the throat of the reeling and totter ing giant of the North." This may appear striking, bnl in onr judg ment it is very foolish writing, just that kind of bragadocio in which the filibusters them-' selves indulge. There is no determination' on the part of any "large portion" of the peo ple of the Union to pick a quarrel with us— quite the contrary. All the man of property and position in tha country, alt tho classes' which have the greatest influence on publld opinion, would deeply regret a rapture with England, and nothing short of national dis honor, or national insult, would induce them to discountenance it; bat it must be olear lo every cool and reflective man that this defi ant style is the most effectual method of neu tralizing the moral fnflueoce of tho olassee to which we refer, and of strengthening, in Ihe same proportion, all the loafers and UK busters who are anxious for mischief.—Liv erpool Times.
