Last month the counties of Northampton, Montgomery and Berks paid the whole of tlgrir State tax for 1867 into the treasury. Of these Northampton paid $30,000, Montgom ery over SIO,OOO and Berkt over $e5,000. We like the steady German industry and thrift which lias proved ilsell on many occa sions the main pillar of the stale. It is this reliable and respectable element in the char acter oT our people that alone can keep our honest old Commonwealth from bankrupting herself by indulging in every wild stock speculation, and trom disgracing herself by running into every political fanaticism that springs Irom the distempered brains of New England men. The German Democrats of Berks, North ampton and Montgomery have a solidity of character which make* thorn worth mote to keep the stale from rocking into disorder and misrule than a dozer, of the Republican doun rics like Bradford or Potter. The staid and solid Gorman character has • hearty rever ence for God and an honest respect for bis country. He lives by thrift, and not only by "hook or by crook"—by honest toil and not by dishonorable (ricks—by a conscientious devotion lo duty, and not by cunning craft. A to Yankee ' smartness" in sustaining j schools take the following example from Bradford Last year in one district a school tax of ten mills on the dollar was laid, which yielded a trifle over one hundred dollars, and uus spent in unwise litigation. In another dis trict the superintendent says of the school house: —"I pity the children and teachers who meet here. A humane man provides better shelter for bis sheep. Should say the model of this house was a canal shanty, but it ie a bad imitation." One district reports m>cn schools, and levies £217 t*x for their support. Another reports ten schools, and levies £3OO school lax. The Republican roc ord goes on to say : "Wilmot township is more remarkable for petty law-suits than excellent schools. It is new and chiefly lumbering dis'rict. Thir teen mills school tax is panl by the people, and still die amount raised from it is not suf ficient lo bet-p open lour months' decent schooling. This is hard. When will trie slate be just to these oppre.-sed parents and wronged children I "There was but ono school open in Wilmot last winter, and that was lint lint-rate. The directors said they had not the means In pay fair wages lor teaching, and could not get in structors at such prices ns they wsre able to pay. Number seven is a lair school bouse but lies a bad location. Number three is to! erable. Found two other frames of little val ue, and th'ee log houses or the poorest sort." Some of these people come down in win ter to teach the "Pennsylvania Dutch." One starts out to peddle a receipt for makiug "A Universal everlasting soap." One goes oil a vagrant tour to preach spiritualism. A third lectures on phrenology. A fourth goes out to make hie "tarsal fortui" as a Homrspaihic doctor. Another sells "Magio Oil" lo the un itiated, end the remainder cry our lo Berks Co. "come up and help us lo pay our school lax for we have sore need ol your aid just now." • We say lo these men look after your "op pressed parents and wronged children" at homo, and leach them to make honest,steady unit usefnl citizens before yon trouble your selves about the people of the South. It seams there ie quite enough work to do in some of that Republican North until the ec'.iool houses shall become equal lo the hou aes ol many blacks in the South. Popntitr Sovereignly. The lasl number of Blaelcwood'i Magazine lias a strong and ablo article upon the sub ject of representation in Parliament from the Britieb American colonies. It was long since proposed to allow each of the Canadas two members, New Rrunsvvick two, Nova Scotia two, New Foundlend one, and Capo Breton one; but the Tory propensities of the ministry resisted and defeated the project. Now, however, the danger of losing these colonies ia becoming lon imminent; end the qjd cry of "no taxation without representation" again ■wells over the Atlantic. Judge Halliburton has gone to Euglsnd, like Franklin in 1774, to demand |lw right of self government for the British aubjnots of the American colonies, and even Blackwood agrees to give them a voice in Parliament. This ia a significant sign of the times, as indicating the spirit of self government or popular sovereignly even in die subjects of a" liberal monarchy. It indicates 100 that even the strong, strict government of England is compelled to listen to the voieo of its people; and that In this aga men will not be ruled by sn irresponsible power three thousand mile* away. A id if even the least liberal of the British statesmen begin to concede this right of self government to distant colonists, would it not be strange if republican America refused il lo her children in Kausas? If the Canadas will not be governed by strangers in London, wby should our people of the territories be ruled by those who are as much strangers lo them at Washington city! LIU Glvlag u up. The hjmttmr American, the new Know- Notfcing and Republican peper of that coun ty, feels the ground sliding en t from under its feet, and surrenders tho political battle in the Inflowing language " from present indications, titers is no prospect of defeating Packer. A triangular fight must result in the defeat of the opposi tion Jjhnd In oAir ptpeelil divided state we ( mayis well let it ge by vfn feel assured that we haserlhe Jumorioal I strength lo succeed, if united on a single tick el, We are not defeated by the popularity of Gen. Packer or the prestige of the Demo eratic party, bet we are sell-defeated act! reo rdered powerless by the imprudent zeal of vl i fra Republicans and intense Americans. The settled conviction of our mind has ever been, that 'united we stand, divided we fall.' " Montour County. Valentine Best announces himself as a can didate for Congress. George [). Boiler anil William 11. Johnson of Danville are candidates for Prothouolary. Mr. Childs will not be a candidate for re elec lion, but designs to take to the practice of la\v for which tie has been preparing himsclt. He made a very competent officer. The Treasurer of Montour paid off the whole amount of stale tax due from that coun ty for 1857. Bishop Tolter last week ordained as Dea cons of the Episcopal Church, Hurley Baldy and Isaiah Gougler ol Reading. Struck by Lightning. On last Monday evening Sheriff" Miller re ceived a despatch from Air. Alaley of Pitts ton to arrest two passengers on the Packet— one Mary Maley, his wife, who had eloped with a man named Byrant Yard. Thia was the man to be arrested. The Sheriffhastcn ed to the Canal, and, along with Morris Van Buskirk, found the runaways on the Packet and arrested them. Tliey had two trunks wiih them which the Sheriff secured. They had through tickets to Philadelphia, and no doubt Jhink tho lightning played lhom a scurvy trick. THE Pa ESS. —We have received the first number of Col. Forney's new Democfaiic daily—"The Press." It looks well, reads well, and bears all over it the marks of the gentleman and the scholar. It is just such a paper as we wonld expect from Col. Forney's capacity and experience. The terms are for (lie daily $6 a year; for the Iri-weekly $3 a year, for the weekly as low as $1 a year to clubs of 20. A FANDANGO.—Our town was awakened on last Monday from its noon nap by tho display and pomp ol a party of colored gciniuen and their sweethearts, on a fancy excursion to Orangevillc. Several of them dove a span in fine style, and they had no doubt a merry time at the "ancient village." BP*Judge,Wilmot lately in hu'Upng style challenged/ Gen. Packer lo stuui|> the State together ofprr rho fashion of thd. Southern hot bloods. For commanding and dignified reasons lh : s plan of discussion is declined, but by no means discussion itself. We will publish the correspondence next week. riT The Upper North Branch Extension Canal will be opened in August. The Wilkes barre Retard learns from Col. Hollenback, who ha* just returned from the Junction, that the repairs of dams at Johnny Cuke, on the Chemung, and at Horse Race on the Susque hanna, are progressing rapidly, and will be in a stale lo fill their respective levels in a few weeks. The great excess of water this season has delayed the canals and interfered with the mines. DEATH FROM GRIEF. —An instance of death from sudden grief has jusf occurred in this city. It is that of a slave woman, named Mary Jane, aged about 30 years. She had been the nurse of on interesting infant of Mr. Paulus Thyson, of 7th street, which died on Sunday morning last. As soon as the spirit of the little sufferer had passed sway, the faithful-nurse sunk into unconsciousness, and thirty hours thereafter expired, without other apparent cause thar. .the grief that had over powered her. She belonged to Mr. Thyson, and had been (he nurse of nil bis children.— This is but another illustration of the fervor of the affections that so pre-eminently char acterizes the African race, especially when educated under the influences of kind and gentle associations.— Washington Stales. ty The sale of lots at Port Treverton on Saturday, the 25tb, attracted quite a large assemblage of persons. There were about 80 lots Solo, at prices ranging from 930 to £lls. These lots are 25 feet front and 150 deep. The best lots were not put up for sale. Mr. Bennel, of the great auction firm of F. W. Bennet k Co., Baltimore, was the auctioneer on the occasion, who kept a hun gry end thirsty crowd in constant good h.u mor. for several hours, by bis short and wit ty speeches. After the sale the refiehn;ents were served Oil !ho tables, under the shade trees. Iu consequence of a break in the ca nal a number of boatmen were present, who after Indulging in a free feast, concluded the performance, on their part, N tn a free fight.— Sunbwy American. As OED INFIDTT.-— The Hon. J. R.Giddings has written a characteristic letter to the Tit hunc, in whioh he saya thqt the "God of Abraham" is not his God; that he despises Sim and holds him in contempt; that he is n idol or the deii/'of the slave holders, and they are right in worshipping him. He (Bid dings) don't wotship nor beliove in the God of the Bible, but he liae one of bia own— that is, an anti-slavery God—a nigger, we suppose, some odious creature who winks at pillage and theft. Seriously, though ia it not disgraceful that a widely circolated newspa per should givo currency to this old driveler's blasphemy ! tST It is said that Wilmot spends half his time in Philadelphia, drinking ale aad lager beer, iu order to convince the Germans that he's not a fanatic on the temperance ques tion. Lottery SiprcuhUlmn--Their Nutare. Since our financiers undertook to quarrel with lotteries, thpy have given the world a worse thing in |ho shape of fancy Btocks, which promise a great deal, and seldom ben efit any one excopt the managers. Well conducted lotteries, like the Jasper County Academy, managed by Messrs. Anderson & Son, at Macon, and Savannah, Georgia, are not, in our opinion, liable to any objection, The purchaser inows he is to run the risk of fusing his money; but ho is equally well aware that he may win largely. Their next drawing, we understand, will take place on tho 17th day of August inst., and should it come oil' as expected, it will bo one of the greatest of its kind—the capital prizes being $60,000, $20,000, SIO,OOO, $6,000, $4,000, $2,000, and so on down to throo thousand prizes of S3O each, making in aU, 3,286 pri zes, and only 30,000 tickets issued against them, being one prize to every nine tickets. Those wishing to purchase tickets, which vary in price from two and a half to ten dol lars, had better send their orders as soon as possible lo Anderson Si Son, Macon, Geor gia, as "delays are dangerous." Thoir small schemes are drawn every Saturday—tickets from one to four dollars. IN THE PACIFIC.—WhiIe the eyes of Enrope arid America has* baen directed to wards the movements of Great Britain, in la king possession of Periro and trying lo get one of ihe Bay Islands, they have entirely overlooked what is occurring in the Pacific, among the guano islands. The island of Elide, in die Pacific, a nr.ile and a quarter from Ihe coast of Lower California, was re cently visited by some Americans from San Francisco, claiming it and its guano under a Moxican title. There were two other parlies claiming under other titles, and one of these fitted out a schooner, sailed for (he island, where they found thp first party in possession, landed eight men with eight rifles and a pis tol, and took the possessors prisoners and seized all their property. The island was then fortified, and the prisoners sent to San Francisco, lu the latter city they entered a complaint against their captors, who were arrested. Thd Court has now tfcc subject of jurisdiction under consideration. But it it supposed that no more blood will be shed. jy The straw Bonnet business appears lo have been overdone in Massachusetts, and hence there are groat complaints of dull timer; in the trade. In Franklin mill ions of straw bonnets have been manufac tured, enough for one quarter of the heads, great and small, old and young, in the Uni ted Stales Many people have the idea, that fashionables in our large cities ROH'ro! the style of bonnets; in o'her words, that the fashionable buyer, and not the manufacturer, decides the styles of bonnets to be made.— This is not so. The manufacturer controls tliis matter completely. Last fall there was an association of bonnet-makers organized in Massachusetts, for the purpose of making thoetjle uniform, and it is said they have entirely succeeded In their purposes ' New Lisconery bj Guano. — papers contain accounts of the successful ex ploration of the new guano island Eletle, on the Coast of Lower California, about the own ership of w hicli there has recently been a law suit in San Francisco. A cargo of one hundred and twenty tons was recently brought to Sail Francisco, and >* safti to be equal in quality to Peruvian guano. The island was sold by Mexico to American citizens some time ago. The property is in Americans, but the sover eignty of the island is in Mexico. The Direct Trade between Europe end the South. —The linn. Win. B. P.-eslon, of Vir ginia, will sail for Europe on Saturday, op liia mission to secure the establishment of a line of steamers from England to the waters of the Chesapeake. It is stated that all the railroad companies in Virginia, and some in Kentucky and Tennessee, have joined the movement, ami that the parlies now pledged to the enterprise represent a capital of $59,- 000,000. It will probably require all that to force trade frogt the channels it naturally flows iuto when left unrestricted. GONI TO THE BOW-WOWS !—Col. Humphrey Marshall ir, tho course of a political speech at the Court House in Louisville, Ky., oh Saturday evening, pronounced the Know- Nothing organization dissolved, ritual, oslh, and all. He said hevlaimed no man's vote on the ground that ha had taken the oath of the order. lie said he didn't know how many degrees lie had taken, but he knew he had Hone a good deal of hard swearing; bul he considered himself and all others released from their oaths by the action of the order. —— • fif The Honduras Oceanic Railroad, it is paid, has been completely organized in Lon don, and will proceed at once to locate and construct the road, which would open anoth er communication between the Atlantic and Pacific. From the statements of ny, it "would appear that they are a "little short" of tho amount necessary to complete the road, ' ~ *" * SUGAR.—The sugar speculation has reached its culminating point, and prices are now on the decline. The probabilities arc that, with the vast product Ibis year from the sugar car.e, the maple tree and the sorghum, with the stock unsold of last season, we shall soon hare cheap sugar as well as cheap bread. t#" A conference of the Lutheran church, embracing 20 or 30 Ministers and Elders, was held in "Lowitburg, Monday and Tues day of last week. iff' Clayton B.

Hot as tjie weather. is, we ||iave patiently waded through two colunra*>df wliat purport* to be a reply tp certain interrogatories ad dressed to Judge VVilinot by some of bis sup. porter* who are anxious to make him Nothing. U The first interrogatory re*ds thus : .JTDO vou liold that in the election or ap- hem Atneri <fn \ to replied o f onr Statu establishes a wise And safe policy in re spect to the poinT embraced in jotir first in terrogatory." Well, then, if the history or our State shows that "a wise and safe policy" has heretofore been pursued in regsrd to lite appointment and election of naturalized citi zens to office, the Know Nothing creed and assertions 011 that point are alike false. Hence "is Wilmot a Know Nothing ?" But he en lightens us further by adding that "occasions may arise, when an enlightened and faithful discharge of duly, would demand our suflra ges forthe naturalized citizen, in preference to one born on jour soil." Immortal Know Nothings, where are you now f Does your creed admit that you vole for a naturalized citizen in preference to a native born 7 Now give us a speerpaen of your consistency, your sincerity, and your honesty ! "Americans ■ 4 " srt—w I I. you> "Americans" must jfcrralt the Republicans' to whip you into the harness and make you vote for a man who repudiates and scorns your creed ! Oh, how fallen, ye ramparf'iri tense" Americana! 2. Are you in .favor of the protection of American labor, American righla, and Amer ican interests? To this, your second interrogatory, I shall content myself with a simple affirmative an swer. In the name of sense, who would not give an affirmative answer! Every free trader in the world will say AMEN to that. But they could not make him say he was in favor of a protective tariff as advocated by Clay and Webster, and the Pennsylvania Whigs ! To the 3d interrogatory, a rigmarole abon'. "purification of the baltuf .box," "reform in the natoratizs'rioh lasv*," 'jforeign paupeu," Ac., he says: "It has evpr been a source of just pride to the true American, that his country opened an asylum for the oppressed of every land. God forbid that we should be so ungrateful for his blessings, as 'o refuse to share them J with the honest and industrious of whatever : dime our country ; but it is an outrage upon our hospitality, and a violation of in lernution al law, for the Government of the Old World to ship, cargoes of criminals and paupers on our shores.'" There is more Knqw NothingistjiJor you! , Ila! ha! ha ! "Js Wilmot a Know Nothing?" "Oh, ye Gods and little fishes, Leather spoons and paper dishes !" But thon follows a little salve—the 4th in terrogatory : 4. Are you opposed to sny interference of Churtsh H6trrh*ei< pofttie*} To jtour four lit interrogatory I answer: that I am opposed to the interference of Hierarch ies in politics. The office of a Christian Minister is second to no other in dignity and responsibility. I would not detract from bis functions, or impair the respect due to his character. I acknowledge his right, and as teacher of other people, believe it to be his duty, to speak openly and fearlessly against social and political evils, destructive of public morals and at war with the interest and hap piness of mankind.' 1 ' The plain English of this answer is, that if thy "Christian Minister" preaches aboli tion politics, then he is right for the ministry to engage in that occupation, but not other wise. Bah, David, that is beneath you. You ! would have scorned such demagogueism in your Democratic days. You coolly assume, too, that the tjjiiluiiics ate all Democrats, and then you condemn them for the mere fact (as you issert} that in politics they act together. Dtord you assert, David, that such was the fact previous to Know Nothing times I Dare you assert that the Republican party of the North assume that position ? You dare do neither, and well you know it. Is it singular, reader, if it be true, that the Catholics alt leave a pafty which opposes and denouncos them, and for the same time act with one which refuses to mingle relig ion with politics In any form? Bet, Mr. Wilmot, you well know that the Quakers are equally unanimous in opposing the Demo cratic party, and have maintained that stub born attitude ever since the Revolution.— Should they, therefore, be held up to public execration? Yon have not the manliness to arrnigit all denominations that do these things. Why then select the catholic for "'Mil see £our trick as plain as the Jews saw the pillar of fire. But the'letter winds up in a "blaze of glo ry." • Here is the sth interrogatory : 5. Arc you in favor of Free Schools for tho edufatimi of oil classes, with the Bible as a text book used thrtein T " To your fifth Interrogatory I answer that I.am In favor of froe schools for the ed-' ucation of all classes ; and am opposed to any exclusion of the Bible tlicrofrom." There you are, on our own platform, just where you have no business to bo. Why did you'not answer the question that was as ked: are you in favor Of the ÜBO of the Bible as a Text Book in school ? You answer that you are opposed to its "exclusion from school"—very different subjoctsl In our connection with public schools we have al ways Opposed she use of the Bible m a text book, because Ve> regarded such use as ir reverent and ifr3R£ißl>!f. a well as improper for other reasons, but hawo always insisted that the schools should be opened everyday by the teacher reading a email portion of the scripture to the pupils. Now, friend David, we are at a loss to know whether you en dorse our views or not We guess you do, or else you would have answered the ques tion frankly. Now, we challenge the K. N. organs and orators to show ue front this letter whether Wilmot is aK.N. Pr not. 1U dare not state hit rial position on lhdt iisuel He is a Cow Boy candidate, fighting on all sides for booty —a freebooter politician, catching at every thing aud dodgingevcrything, to catch votes. If elected, he must cheat half the men that vote for him, and will most probably cheat all. We have given a fair, frank version of his letter, and it is by snch a deliberate sys tem of double dealing ovasion and amusing duplicity that ho expects to be elected, if kuch a wild dream ever crossed his imagi m%tjpn.—Clinton Democrat. FOUR DAYS fATER FROM EUROPE. TH lltl)lsy|)||'lNy INCREASING. QCEBVC, July 27.—The Steamship North American has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 15tlt instant, lour days later than pre vious advices. Advices by the overland mail announce an alatming spread of the mutiny among the native troops in India. Twenty-three regiments have joined the mutiny. They were defeated by the Gov ernment troop* outside of Delhi, but the unity still remainod in the possession of the insur gents. General Anson, the British Commander in-chief, had died o( cholera, and haa been succeeded by Sir Colin Campbell. The news from India has caused a decline of Consols in the London money market.— A reduction in the rstes ot discount by the Bank of England was anticipated to take place on Thursday. The fail of Delhi was looked for hourly when the Indian man tell. The loss to the Bengsl army in consn. quence of the mutiny was estimated at 30,- 000. It was believed the crisis had passed. The latest advices indicate n panic. The 1 desertion among the insurgents was acting vigorously. Sir Colin Campbell started at a few hoars' notice. • Advices from Calcutta to June 7th, repre sent that disaffection is entirely confined to the army. The native trnopa had been disarmed, and most of them stationed in Punjuub. The latest from Delhi states that the Heights around the town are in possession ot the Government troops, who attacked and drove the rebels within the walls, capturing twen ty-six guns. The Bambsy and Madras armies continu ed firm If Ijybt, ■ -i. The.sieamnhip Erin, from Bombay, with China mails, had been wrecked on the coast of Ceylon on lite 6th of June. Her passen gers, mails and specie wero all saved. Her catgo, valued at a million of dollars, and the vessel, were lost. FRANCS.—The details of the conspiracy in Paris, which have lately been brought to light, present it in a more 3erious form than had ever been anticipated. It is alleged escaped in a ship carrying the American fiag. The Paris correspondent of the London Times says that the recently discovered con spiracy was more serious than any known, considering the character of the conspiracy, the extent of the ramifications and objects proposed—which included the assassination of the Emperor and revolution throughout We whole of Southern Europe.

NEW YORK, July 27.—The United States mail steamship Illinois, from Asptnwall on the 19th, with California dates to the sth iual., arrived at this port at 2 o'clock this af ternoon. Business in San Francisco was unusually dull, and there were several heavy failures. The primary election of Delegates to the Democratic Gubernatorial Convention, re sulted in the overwhelming defeat of tire Brodertck party. Mr. Weller was doubtless nominated on the first ballot. .The miuers held a meeting, denouncing Fremont's Mariposa claim, and threatening resistance. The "Know-Nothings" are taking mean ores for the re-organization of the party in California. Tin) markets of San Francisco are glutted with all kinds of produce. There being no demand, prices were rapidly depreciating, while money was accumulating, and rates tending downward. Gallego Flour was nominal at sl3.

TTAS established a greater celebrity than has ever been obtained by any other Starch. This has been the result of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni j lormity. i The public may be assured ot the continu- I ance of the h gh standard now established. | The production is over Twenty Tons daily, j and the demand has extended throughout the j whole ol the United States, and to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and | under a rigid system, they are aide to secure , a perfect and uniformity in the quality tnrough j out the year. This is the great Desideratum i in Starch-making, and ia realized now lor I the first lime. The very best starch that can be made,and no otlur, is always wai ted by consumers, aud while litis will be supplied to them by the grocers, as soon as their customers t)*ve learned which is the beet, and ask for it otherwise they would be likely to gel that article on which the largest profit can be made. Mr. Kingsford has been engaged in the manufacture of starch continuously for the lest 27 years, and during ihe whole of the period, the starch made under his supervis ion has been, bevond anv question, the best in the market. For the first 17 years, he bad the charge of ihe works ol Wm. Colgate &. Co., at which period he invented the procom of the manufacture of corn starch. Iy Ask for Khigsford's Starch, as ths name Oswego has recently been taken by another fac tory. T. KINGSFORD & SON'S OSWEGO CORN STARCH, {For Puddings, Ifc,) Has obtained ao equal celebrity With their Starch for the Lanndry. This fcrtiofe is per fectly pure, and is, in every respect, equal to the best Bermuda Arrow-Root, besides hav ing additional qualities which render it inval uable for the dessert. Potato Starch has been extensively packet! and sold as Corn Staroh, and has gtvon false impressions to many, as to the real merits of our Corn Starch. From its great delicacy and purity, it is coming also into expensive use as a diet for l infants and invalids! E. N. KELLOGG & CO., Agents 196 Fulton Sueel, N. Y.
