From the Femwyttoinjan.
The Mate Senate.
The recent election in ear Commonwealth
but pieced iti (tie Stale Senate tome men of
rfipf* Utah ordinary ability— men who trill
■riffle' rtie'teputation -of' that -branch --of the
flia'te Legislature, and inrpire the parly with
hop* ari'd'confidencein the future course of
■jTrfinsyfvania legislation opon all important
Questions. For some years the majority in j
thai parly has been against the Democratic
sentiment of the State, and although the
Democracy wete honestly anil ably 'repre
aenled by such mer- as Forsyth aud Bucka
lew tfnd Browne and Wright, still they could
_I0I stamp tlieir principles those enactments
' which Were to govern the people and influ
ence the future destiny oi the Old Key
stone.
Now, however, the rase is different. The
Senate to meet in January next will be a
faithful teflex of ihe popular will, while ai
the same lime it will rank among its mem
bers men who are widely known for their
intelligence and devotion to Democratic pno
ciplss. In the front rank o( these will stand
fttto. Chatles R. Buckslew, the member
'elect from the Xll lib Senatorial District,
'composed of Snyder, Northumberland, Mon
tour and Columbia counties. Mr. Buckalew
fa unquestionably the shiest man of his
iu Pennsylvania. As a legislator, he
ia eminently safe and trustworthy. He i
progressive without being tinctored with
•grariaoism—cautious and conservative yet
uol fogith nor wedded to old forms wnich
hare long since lost their force and vitality.
As a logical and convincing debater, Mr.
Buckalew enjoys a high and deserved repu
tation. Bold arid tearless in his denunci*
lion of wrong, clear and lucid in arranging
and presenting the truth, no subject can paw
through his mind without receiving from that
process either additional reasons why it
should command the respect and support of
plhers, or becoming so analysed and dissect
d as to exhibit its defects in all their made
deformity. The present crisis demands jant
such a man to meet it, and hence we hail
with more than ordinary satisfaction the elec
tion of Mr. Buckalew to the State Senate.
Tli* election of Hon. Win. P. Schell Irom
Bedford, Huntingdon and Somerset counties,
composing XlXth District, ia also a matter
of just pride to Ihe Democracy. Mr. Schrll'e
nomination was unsought by him. Nothing
but the most ardent solicitations from his nu
merous friends would induce him id accept
she nomination after it had been tendered.—
After consenting to be a candidate, he went
into the contest with his usual characteristic
enthusiasm and ability, and has won a vic
tory almoßt unprecedented in our Srate. Mr.
-Schell has served two sessions in the house
of Representatives, ihe last of which he was
chosen Speaker, toil presided over thai body
with marked ability. He is Mill a young
~ man, with the brightest future before him,
' and will hold a commanding position in (he
Senate, although composed of some of our
most talented men.
' * The lid District will be represented by
Hon. Thomas S. Bell. This gentleman was
. for many years an Asociie-Jo* ice of lire
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and will
make a highly intelligent and useful mem
ber of the Senate.
At Pennsylvanians we feel a jnst pride in
thus alluding lo ihe mental and intellectual
rtatnre of the prominent newly elected mem
bers of the Slate Senate. They will make
their mark npon the coming Legislature o'
the S:a'e, and at a timtf when most impor
tant questions will be presented lor consider
ation. It is alike fortunate tor themselves
and the Commonwealth, that Ihe right men
have been elevated to power at the right
time.
tar Barnum, it is said, is on his feet again,
a richer man than before, having bought the
claims against him at from five to twenty-five
- t enls on the dollar, .with the exception of
•ome 515,000. His assigned property, it is
said, has been returned to bim again, and
Iranistan is being refitted for his resdideuce.
The story needs confirmation, Barnum, when
he left for Europe a short time ago, said he
waa as poor as a church mouse.
A WARNING —A singular and serious acci
dent happened at Stamford, Connecticut, on
Friday evening last. A lady had been ap
plying to her hair a mixture of castor oil and
alcohol, end approaching to near a lighted
lamp, her hair became enveloped in a blaze,
and the flame waa not extinguished until the
lady was so severely burned that she it now
considered in a critical aituaiton.
HIDING AWAY. —The St. Louia Intelligen
' ccr says that nol leu that three millions of
dollars hare been withdrawn Irom the banks
and bankers of St. Louis, in the fast thlny
' day*. Tbis was mostly good money, too;
nor bat it left the city. It ia stored away in
secret places, aud will retnrn to active em
i ploymeot, sod to the Bank results, wilb re
turning oonfidence.
Proposed Enslavement of Sepoys —The Eu
ropean Times (Liverpool,) speaking of the
se<sabjugatinn of India, and how to treat the
natives, says the way "is to deport them to
lbs colonies, and make tbem labor, for the
remainder of their lives, in raising sugar aud
•other tropical yroducts."
fc#" "Martha," said a lady to her colored
•chambermaid, "that is the third silk dress
you have worn since you came to me; pray
how many do you own V' - ,Ottly seven mis

"Sovon! What use are seven silk dresses
to you 1 Why, 1 don't own so many as

does. Yon see you quality white folks eve
rybody knowsis quality; but we better-most
kind obcuiled pussons hab to dreßs smart to
"etinguish ourselves from common niggers."
So critics, who denounce the present extrav

the paraphernalia of hoops and flounces,
eilks, velvets and laces ia very astounding,
think: Well, poor thing*! they must do
something to distinguish themselves from,

FROtXA NATION,
Governor Pollock has issued the following
Proclnmation, appointing Thursday, the 26th
of November, as a day of general Thanks
giving and Praise, in this State:
PLJNNSYLVAMA, 88 :
In Ihe name and In/ the authority cf the Com
monwealth 0/ Pennsylvania, JAMES POLLOCK,
Govti not of the said Commonwealth :
A PROCLAMATION.
Fellow-Citizens: —To tender to Almighty
God, who controls the destinies of nations
and men, the homage of 'devout gratitude
and praise for his goodness and mercy, is
tho appropriate and solemn duty of s free
and highly favored people. As the giver of
every good and perfect gift we should ever
recognize His hand in our mercies, and ac
knowledge our dependence upon His Prov
idence; and although adversity may throw
its dark shadows across our pathway, yet
we should be asured of this, "that the Judge
of all Earth will do right."
During the past year the bounties of a
kind Providence have not been withheld
from our Commonwealth. Our free institu
tions have been preserved, and our rights
and privileges, civil and religious, enjoyed
and maintained. The arts and sciences,
and the great interests of education, morali
ty and religion, have claimed attention and
received the encouragement of an intelli
gent and liberal people. Honorable industry
iu its varied departments has been reward
ed ; and although recent and severe finan
cial revulsion has filled with gloom, sorrow
and distress, the hearts and homes of many
of our citizens, yet no fear of famine, no
dread of impending public or social calami
ty, mingles with our emotions of gratitude
lor past blessings, or weakens our trust for
the future, in the Providences of Him who
wounds but lo heal, and "whose mercy en
dureth forever." A plenteous harvest has
crowned the labor of the husbandman—
peace, with its gentle and refining influen
ces, and unwonted health with its benefits
and mercies, have been vouchsafed to us.
In acknowledgment of these manifold
blessings, we should offer unto God thanks
giving and pay our vows unto the most High;
and call upon Him "in the day of trouhle;
He will deliver thee and thou shah glorify
Him."
Under the solemn conviction of tho propri
ety of this duly, and in conformity with es
tablished custom aud the wishes of many
good citizens, I, James Pollock, Governor of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do
hereby recommend Thursday, the twenty
sixth day of November next, as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving and praise 'hroughout this
Suvc, and earnestly request the people that,
abstaining lrom their usual avocations and
all worldly pursuits they assembte on thai
day according to their religious customs, and
mile in offering thanks to Almighty God for
his past goodness and mercies; and while
humbly acknowledging our trangression,
and imploring His forgiveness, beseech
Him, with sincere and earnest desire, to re
turn and visit us again with His loving kind
ness, make us worthy of His bounties, and
continue to us the rich blessings of His prov
idence and grace.
j Given under my hand and tho Great Seal of
the State at Harrisburg, this nineteenth
day of Ootober, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven,
and of the Commonwealth the eighty-sec
ond.
By the Governor.
JOHN M. SULLIVAN,
Deputy Secretary of the Commonwealth.
Where will Uusiuess Re-opes-
The whole machinery of the commercial
world is at a dead lock ; the only important
question is how it is lo bo salely and legiti
mately set to work again. It is not war, and
it is not famine, nor is it pestilence, that ha
prcduced it, but the diseased internal work
ings of commerce itself. There are thou
sands of honest, able men, who would
work, but cannot. Others, who have all the
ma'erials, and would like lo employ these
men, dare not. They know it would be
ruin. Others who have goods ready manu
factured, would like 10 sell or fill orders,
but dare not," lest they should not get their
money. Others hnve wheat and produce of
all kinds but ca not -hip it to Europe, be
cause no man will putchase their bills of
exchange on London. It is the very heart
of commerce that has been palsied, there
seems to be no vitality, no oxygen in the
calculation, [t has been asphyxiated by
the poisonous vapors deep down in tho
mines and wells of traffic.
The first successful effort at restoration
must be to produce a deep iiia|>i ration, a
heaving of the muscles of the chest , that shall
produce a vacuum—a demand. Fresh liv
ing air will then soon rush into the lungs,
oxygen into the blood, and a tide or lire
and animation to every part.
All business life has got lo begin again,
to be in anew, and ihis must be where all
business begins—in Ihe retail trade and not
in Ihe wholesale. He who would catch the
first impulses of the coming new life of
trade, must catch it there. And he who
would promote the restoration of wholesale
business must begin by promoting it there.
| All attemp's 'o stimulate a restoration of
wholesale business not foun ed on that of
the rotail trade, is like straining the eye
balls and distorting the limbs of a corpse
by galvanic action ai d mistaking that for
life. To push goods by wholesale on the
market through longer credits can only pro
duce an ultimate glut.
It is the retail trade that wants starting
anew upon a cash basis. This will create a
demand for goods and afford the means to
pay for them. So far, there have been com
para ively very few failures in the retail
trade, but there will be in the course of a
few months, perhaps weeks, if care is not
taken to avoid it. Not one quarter, hardly
a tenth of the business is done in any large
retail establishment now, that there wa
last; ear, at this time, and the prices leave
absolutely no profit. This cannot last.
Let every family then pay their retail
billa, if they pay no others—settle up all
their domestic expenaes at once and at any
present inconvenience. There are many
families of undoubted means, wlte, be-
cause it is inconvenient and difficult to get
money, pot off all their domestic bills as
long a* they possibly can. If these persons
would only put themselves to one hundredth
part of the inconvenience to pay these, that
they do to prevent a note from being pro
tested, they would easily accomplish it.—
And if they would only go round and pay
up every small and domestic debt they have
in the world and keep no more accounts,
but pay as they go, it would givo such an
impetus to the retail trade, as to create a
demand for goods at remunerative pricos,
and put money in circulation in all branches
of business. If no more such accounts
were opened, it would make this whole
crash end in a great blessing to all, and but
little inconvenience to any.
Every honest and honorable man has got
to pay, and expects to pay, and has no
doubt that he will pay all these debts some
day. Let him do so MOW. For him lo wait
until times get easier, is leaving the man
who has trusted him to struggle on through
his difficulty without the aid to which he
was entitled, and if lie survives, lo help
him when it is of no use. There never
will be easier times with such. So far ihe
cash lias only been lor large sums and not
for small. This is all that it is at present.
But it must begin and continue to pinch
tighter and tighter upon small sums for
even the largest men, unless averted by
such a restoration of healthy trade as that of
which we speak. The man who puts off
the milk bill, and the grocery bill, because
it will be easier in a month or two, is ihe j
man to whom it will then be far harder. In '
fact he is josi the man that will be very apt
not to pay at all.
But he who will now begin thus a*d al
ways buy his household goods with ready
money, it will not only take a world of care
and shame off his mind though he should
fail for a million hereafter, but lie will get
through all Ids expenses ata much less cost.
The pressure on the money market will
then act as a break upon the cable of his
personal expenditures, and prevent it run
ning out too fast, while what he does get
will be obtained for far less.
We see that in New York the largest
wholesale houses are now seeking the re
tad cash trade, to catch the first breeze of
restored business. Of course these houses
. can afford to sell cheaper without loss. This
will at least start business again ou the
" ready money basis, the otdy thing to put
money in circulation or restore credit.—Led
