FOR SURVEYOR G EN ERA L, JOHN ROWK, OF FITANRI.IN COUNTY. Montour County Convention. The Democracy of Montour met in Coun ty Convention on last Monday and made their regular county nominations. There was a good turn out —every township rep resented by two Delegates—and the pro ceedings all passed off harmoniously—every one seeming pleased with lite nominations HON. SAMUEL OAKES received a unani mous nomination by the Convention for Assembly, subject to the District Confer ence. The Convention concurred in the nomination of HON. GLOBCE D. JACK-ON, of Sullivan, and appointed Conferees with in structions for the two ex-members. As for Columbia county, we apprehend no ditfi culty in those two men—Oakes and Jack son—getting a unanimous nomination They are deserving, capable and honest, and in them we make a good choice. WILLIAM C. JOHNSON, of Danville, received the nomination for Register and Recorder without a dissenting voice. He has served the people for several years with credit to himself and satisfaction to them. His elec tion is sure. FREDERICK BLUE, of Liberty, was nomina ted for Sheriff over Daniel VVoodside. WILLIAM SEIDEL, of Derry, received the nomination for County Commissioner. The proceedings in full will appear in our next. DEI.ECATK ELECTIONS.—We wish the Demo- j crats throughout the county to remember j that Saturday a week is the day fixed for 1 holding their delegate elections. We hope every one who has the interest of the party j at iieart wilt attend and assist in electing delegates who shall represent them in the l County Convention. We should like it to! be a fair expression of the wishes of the' people, and the candidates nominated to bo | those actually desired by a majority of the ! Democrats of the Courtly. When the peo- j pie do not attend the delegate elections ; J when they pay no attention to electing ; delegates, they throw away a great privi-1 lege, and entrust that which they should all; do, to the hands of a iew. We hope they I will not do so this lime. This will be one j of the most important conventions held in j this county for a long lime, and we would j therefore ask the people to attend to it. ITAI.T AND THE WAR OF 1859 — This is the title of a neat and well-written book, by JU LIE MARGUERITTES, with an interesting intro duction from the able pen of Dr. R. SHKL TOM MACKENZIE, containing a Map of the eeat of War, with portraits of the most prominent actors in the late difficulties— such as Louis Napoleon, Francis Joseph, Victor Emanuel, and Ouri'ialJi. This little work gives a pretty fair history of the late war, including biographical sketches of its he roes. It is well worth the price—one dollar and a quarter. But we would state, upon the receipt of one dollar, and twenty-one cents to pay postage, G. G. EVANS, publish er, and proprietor of the Original Gift Book Establishment in Philadelphia, will send you a copy of the book and a splendid gift. It is no small volume ; it contains three hundred and ninety-two pages ; handsomely printed, upon good white paper. Send in your orders to G. G. Evans, 439 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. WE TAKE great pleasure in announcing W'm. Saint Clair Clark, Agent for D. W. Clark's Great Philadelphia Gift Book Eestab lishment, will visit this place in a lew days, and remain with us probably a week or two, for the purpose of selling Books; As far as we can learn, ho has given general satisfaction wherever he has been. We will just state, that you get the worth of your money in the purchase of a book, and a handsome gift besides. We stepped into his rooms at Danville on last Monday and purchased a book, to our own taste, at the cost of one dollar, and was fortunate enough to draw a five dollar prize. We then came home rejoicing. In an other column of this paper will be seen a more extended notice of this Book Establishment which we copy from the Milton Democrat. Read it. THE Atlantic Cable is bound, it appears, to be able before long to convey news from shore to shore, across the mighty ocean.— The Atlantic Telegraph Company have lately decided to make the conductor of the next Cable consist of six wires, about six times the size of the old one. The new Cable is to bo guarantied in all respects, and to be ready for business early next summer. C. W. Fields, Esq., occupies two columns in a New York paper with a full statement of the affairs of the Company. The Amer ican public will have an opportunity to subscribe to the new stock, which is guar antied by the British Government. TIIE Slate Teachers' Associa'ion met at West Chester on the 2d inst. The constitu tion has been changed in respect to the membership of females, who now mako an annual payment of fifty cents, as the male teachers hitherto have done. Dr. Parrish, the head of the School for feeble minded children, delivered a valuable discourse on the proper education. DANIEL E. SICKLES, of New York, it is credibly announced, has voluntarily surren dered his claims to represent the Third Congressional District. The plan is now to hold a special election, and it seems that the contracting partios agree to nominate an Auti-I.ecomptou Democrat. Harvest Home. On last Thursday the quiet little village of Espy, übout two miles from Bloomsbnrg, was alt alive with people. One of the largest celebrations ol the kind ever witnessed in this county was held at that place on said day. People came from all directions, far and near, old and young, large and small, to participate in the grand demonstration, which proved, as ii purported to be, a most excellent affair. Extensive preparations were made for the convenience anJ com fort of all tho-e who were in a 'tendance and participated in the exercises. The celebra tion was an appropriate one, on a proper occasion, and at a suitable pluce, right in the midst of a thickly settled community, composed of tillers ol rich and alluvial soil We are an advocate of Farmers' Jubilees when gotten up with the right kind of inten tion. They should alway aim at the promo tion of agricultural interests. With this matter in view, was the one in question es tablished, and effectually carried out, to the | satisfaction, it is hoped, of ail who were I present. The exercises of the day were inviting and interesting ; calculated to bring together a large assemblage of people.— Speeches were delivered by able men— practical orators—Dr. A. T. Brundage and C. F. Bowman, Esq., of Wilkea-barre. A stand was erected for the occasion in rearol Mr. Hudson's Hotel, where all things passed oil in order and harmoniously. Ihe ser-< vices of HOWKK'S CORNKT BAND of Blooms hurg, were appreciated at this celebration. This Band was engaged to enliven the ex ercises of the day with some of their most excellent music. This company is, we are informed, gaining golden opinions wherever they go. Success to them. The citizens of Espy and vicinity are de- J serving of considerable credit in the getting j up of this demonstration. They are certain ly a go-a-headative class of people—leave nothing fail they undertake. The two landlords spared no pains in ma king preparations to accommodate the three thousand people which were supposed to have been present. No small amount of eatables could satisfy the devouring propensities of so large a crowd. The wire-walking across the river, a dis tance of twelve hundred feet, and in the neigh borhood of fifty or sixty feet above the wa ter, by THEODORE M'D. PRICE, was no small feature in the exercises ol the day. It is said that this feat was accomplished noltly, in less than twelve minutes It is certainly a very daring and wonderful feat to be per formed by man. He ascended the post to which the wire was attached about 1 o'clock, P. M., a little before the advertised lime, on account of the wind ra-ing more the longer he delayed the hazardous feat Very few men live in this or any other country who could have performed this feat Blondin, the Frenchman, will have to look to his laurels. LECTURES TOR THE PEOPLE, by the Rev. Hugh Slowell Drown, of Liverpool, has been received by us ; and it is an interesting vol ume of four hundred and fourteen pages.

This work can be had of G. G. Evans, 439 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, by enclosing to him one dollar, and twerity-one cents to pay postage. For this amount a book and a splendid gift will be forwarded to any ad dress. PLAGIARISM DEEINKD AND ILLUSTRATED In Rev. Dr. Adams' discourse at the funeral of Mr. Clioale the following passage occurs: "A very short time before he was to deliver his address belore the New England Society at New York, f asked him if he had written it. 'Not the seven thousandth part of a word,' was his idiomatic answer. 'But,' said he, 'I believe that I shall appro priate a speech made at Park Street Church the other evening.' It was a charge at the ordination of ayounglriend from Geneva, who was to labor as an Evangelist in Cana da. Coming as the candidate did from Ge neva it was natural for any one who ad dressed him to speak ot the Puritans in their connection with Geneva. The few unambitious words on that topic, on that occasion, reported®!! a newspaper, were an accidental spark which entered the furnace chamber of his great mind, and kindled it for a performance which will not soon be forgotten. It was like him thus to recognize one who had done him a service even un intentionally; nor did he fear the imputation of plagiarism ; for his taking of another man's thoughts was as when the sun pla giarises the waters, and turns them into showers, and rainbows, and gorgeous sun sets, and harvests, and grass upon the mountains, and herbs for the service of man." Pope's Eloise to Abelard is said to have a resemblance to Crashaw's "Elegies on St. Alexis." Hayley in defending Pope from plagiarism' says : "If Pope borrowed anything from Cra shaw in this article, it was only as the sun borrows from the earth, when drawing front thence a mere vapor, he makes it the de light of every eye, by giving it all the tender and gorgeous coloring of heaven."— Boston Daily advertiser.

TEITSWORTH, announcing a church organization; nl-o an attempt at a history of the rise ami progress of Christian ity in the section of country located about the head waters of Fishingereek. 'iruth, Justice, and Religion, demands a reply to that article; or at least that portion of it cal culated to mislead the minds of ihoe who may be ignorant of the real truth. With the Old Lop Church and those pioneers who caused its erection, I have nothing to do, and concerning them nothing to say. Surely it must be an object of exceeding interest when H man of education assures us that thuse who have not worshiped there "could not improve llteinselve# better than by go ing ten or eleven miles to enjoy the treat." Mark not to hear the gospel, for this the Rev Gentleman says is not very inviting as he presents it—(and in this 1 assure him most of the inhabitants dwelling around the "old log church" concur! but a treat we in fer from the article to sit and gaze upon lite weather stained logs that compose the buil ding. The venerable relics of other days ; (perhaps the Rev. Gentleman finds it a treat to -'hold forth" to the same old logs ) The scenery around the old church is truly in teresting. but all this display of the Kev'd Teilsw orlh's descriptive faculties does not excuse the gross and palpable misrepresen tations that follow. He 6ays that, "after the Episcopalians had abandoned the ground the Unitarians or Millerites came in and took possession of the field." This is not only a misrepresentation but an absolute falsehood. First, I aver the Unitarians never haSli So ciety 011 the waters of Fishingcreek. Sec ond, there never was a Society of the peo ple formerly called Millerites (How extinct! in existence in the neighborhood referred to, and if Mr. T. has been otherwise inform ed this will set him right ott the point. But I plainly see what the Rev. Gentleman is aiming at. There are at the present time several flourishing societies of the people known as Christians, in existence on Fish ingcreek, and it is these people who are thus vilely misrepresented in the article re ferred to. They claim no other name, an swering to none other. They hold to the unity or Oneness of God, but are. as distinct from the Unitarians as they are from the Presbyterians. For many years they have maintained their position on the creek and were regularly organized churches before, long belore Millerism had an existence any where. Whatever the Rev Gentleman may say or do let him remember the divine pre cept, "Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor" Again ho says ":hey have been active in sowing the seeds of heresy". Who made him a Judge in these matters'! I want no better evidence of an intolerable bigot than hearing him cry wolf or heretic. Wiio were the first to cry heresy in the days of Romish cruelty and persecu tion but those blood thirsty mons'ers them selves. Let us look for a moment at the grounds ol the organization of these Chris tians. 1. We are Christians to the exclusion of all the names ol fnctiun and party, but not to lite exclusion of the pood ol any parly. 2. The Bible is our Rule to the exclusion of the creeds, covenants, disciplines and articles of Faith, ever prepared by uninspir ed men and imposed upon the church 3 Christian Character ie our only lest of fellowship and communion to the exclusion ol all the Shibboleths of party and tests of bigotry ever urged upon the humble loliow ers of Christ. These are the principles which the Rev. T. is pleased to call heresy atid place side by side with Mormanism. " 0 Bigotry whete is thy shame !" We will bow to his superlative wisdom and say with Paul the Apostle, "After the way which they call heresy so worship I the God of my Fathers, &c." This was uttereo by the venerable servant ol God when accused in like man ner by a like spirit. One thing is true how ever, the Christians on Fishingcreek have been active in sowing the seeds of liberal Christianity, and Mr. Teitsworth may yet learn that the acknowledgement of Lyman Beecher, "That it is too late in the day to cram creeds down the throats of intelligent men," will be true in his case. Again, the Democrat's correspondent says, "Ignorant men have risen up pretending to be teach ers of God's word," &c. What k : nd of men have arisen among Mr. T's shadowy Unita rians and formless Hitlerites, dwelling a round the old Log Church. I cannot say, but one thing is ceriain, the christians have, as far as 1 can learn, sustained preaching if not by men possessed of as much superfici al education, by those endowed with quite as much of nature's great gift, common sense, ar.d whose labors have been blessed in the conversion of men from the bondage and thralldom of sin, or brought from under the galling yoke of Sectarianism, as many who boast of such wonderful attainments. Well has it beer, for some men that schools have been established to fill up the vacuum that Dame Nature has left uusupplied Was not this the case 1 fear some pulpits would ever, now be vacant. Another expression is, ''many of them are wolves in sheep's clothing, palming themselves off as angels of light," &c This vituperation of the Rev. Gentleman sounds very like the language of a certain class in olden times, who said to their neighbors, "stand thou by, come not near me, I am holier than thou," and as the meok and lowly Redeemer, Jesus, the son of the living God, openly rebuked tins class when tabernacling in the flesh. Even now would he say to the Rev. T. forsooth, first pull the beam out of thine own eye ere you attempt to pluck the mote from thy broth er's eye Once more, lam aware that there are a great many good people about the Mills referred to, and not nay heathens as we would inler there are from the expression that "a brighter day is about to dawn upon this people." I would recommend however as a medium by which the light or brightness is communicated, a truthful and Christian man, and not one who will falsely accuse a neighborhood and people. In accordance with the wishes of a community, who feel themselves outraged, and many friends who are not willing to be thus misrepresented, to a candid public, I have penned this sketch. Of doctrines I have said nothing; with Mr. T. and myself this may be an after consideration, but above ull things let IVuth prevail. J. G. NOBLE. Jlenton, August 9th, 1859.

W. {CLARK'S Great Philadelphia Gilt Book Establishment re ceutly visiied this place, and dij an exteci sive business Although somewhat allied to the Gill Book Enterprise oursell we are free to coniess Mr. CI.ARG a gentleman of honor, and u lair dealer with his patrons. He was one ot the first to inaugurate this mode of selling books—one ot the pioneers in the Gift Book Enterptise. Until within the last two years, ha was an equal partner in the business with G. G. Evans, who is said to be the originator ol the Gift Book Sales in the United Slates. We do not hesitate to say that of the hundreds of dollars worth of hooks sold, and gilts dislriouied, by Wrn. Saint Clair Clark, while in Milioti, not one purchaser has signified Ihe least cause ol complaint. All are satislied ; probably the strongest evidence that the fullest salisfac tion was in all instances given. The indorsement o! the leading Publish ing Houses in the United States, and the al most unanimous and unreserved -upport of the press, have sustained him from the first of his dealings with the public, and we have yet to hear, against him the first word of complaint or censure. In purchasing of Mr. Clark the buyer has nothing to lose, and everything to gain; for the Gift System is no lottery as many have been prejudiced lo suppose; if it were there would be a hazard or possibility of loss to the investment, of which '.here is none. It is known lo the purchaser that he is to receive an equivalent for his money ; the book selected is furnished at Publishers prices, which are.usually from twenty to twenty-five per cent., less than they are sold Dy booksellers generally. Aside from this investment, which returns an equiva lent, a present is made with each purchase, which be it worth filty cents or one hundred dollars, is yet clear gain. It is a cause of wonderment to many who have benefited themselves, by giving him their patronage, that he can render a business profitable, when conducted on so liberal a system. It is for this very reason that he is successful The channel of trade is always diverted to that course whicll af fords the most marked facilities, so that when the regular dealer finds difficulty in circulating but a few of his publications, the Gift System will easily dispose of thou sands. The majority of expenses in publishing arise frnm the cost of Stereotyping and ad vertising. the outlay being nearly the same whether two thousand or twenty thousand copies of a book be disposed of. If a book be successful, the average cost is comparatively small, if otherwise, the pubilcation MAY prove-a IOSB. ff the sale of a publication could be insured, the price of books as with all other goods would fait to a much lower standard Through the Gift System Mr. CLARK in sures the sale of the publications that he may advertise. If a new book is issued, he first ascertains if it is of a high standard of merit, and if so, he purchases in large quantities, often an entire edition, and in variably pays ash, advertising the book himself. Thus he saves the publisher a heavy expense,and protects him from heavy loss, and it is quite evident that he can ob tain his books at nearly one half the price paiil by those who buy a few at a time on the cretlit system. As with the books so with the gifts, lav ishing!)-sea terei! among his patrons His goods are manufactured for, or imposed to, him direct, economising the many profits which accumulate before the same class of goods reach the final purchaser. We reiterate, distinctly that this system is no lottery. The gilts which he advertises accompany the books.in every instance The Enterprise commends itself, the plan of operation being plain, simple and hon orable. To persons whose means are limited the opportnnity is presented of possessing a valuable libtary, at a comparatively small outlay. From the manner in which he has arranged his enterprise—a secret known to himself alone—the value of a gift does not depend in the ieast upon the price of the book purchased, for olten a person purchasing a dollar book obtains a gift worth from fifty to a hundred dollars.
