FOR CORONER, JACOB 11. FRITZ A moment's Haiti Talk to our Kcutlcrs We have a few suggestions to make in relation to our candidate for County Com missioner, and perhaps a more favorable opportunity may not present itself than the present. As this is an important ulTicc, it is of equal importance that the voters know something about the material which com pose the candidates for Commissioner this fall. There are two candidates in the field asking for*your votes. On the Democratic ticket we have JOSKFU K PATION, of Green wood, who was ragularly nominated in our County Convention, and who has a wide spread circle of friends, ready to aid him with their support. We have the first word to hear uttered against this man's private or public character, —he siatids before you with clean hands, untarnished by the waters of bigotry and fanaticism. He possesses all the qualifications requisite to make a good and efficient officer. With his abilities, experience, and good sound judgment, the functions of this office will be well attended to—-tlie interests of the county carefully looked after, and a more sound and healthy systern adopted for the governing of county affairs may not be expected. He is an ex perienced man—lias been Commissioner before—in Northumberland county—and proved true to bis constituents and the county's interests. To this fact the records of that county will attest. He knows well your wauls, and is able to put machinery in operation to supply them. By electing him you do a creditable piece ot work—you place a man in office who will take a clear and comprehensive view of county afTairs and act in accordance with his mature judg. ment, which, his past official career teaches us to say, will be to the best interest ot the county. No belter man is. or has ever come, before you lor your suffrages than JOSKFU K. PATTON of Greenwood. Wo never had the pleasure of supporting a mar. for County of fice whose abilities and qualifications were superior. The Opposition have nominated a man for Commissioner by the name of John Slaley, with whom we are unacquaint ed, and consequently kr.ow but little about. They say he made a good official. Well this may be so. But is that any reason why Democrats should sacrifice their candidate when he is equally as good if not better than Mr.Staleyl No. This is unnatural—unrea sonable Tho Democrats are not guil y of doing the like, and will not allow them selves to he persuaded into any Opposition arrangement of the kind. They tell us that we have a very good man. They are free to acknowledge this fact. But then they have tho audacity to turn round and say they havo a better one, and "that man is John Stalcy." This would do very well at some places for them to preach while s diciting votes, but it will not do here this fall. The Democrats think quite different. They have a man worthy of their support—one in whom they place übiding confidence, and they intend to make it manifest at the ballot box on the second Tuesday of October next. If the Opposition have votes enongh of their own to elect Mr. Staley it is all right, we havo nothing lurther to say. But we havo a word to say when tho Republican party puts forth its bread and butter stories, spread over with molasses, in order to catch Democratic votes. Give them one member of the board this fall, next fall they will want another. Then, should thoy be sue cessful, a Republican board would bo the result. Ah! this won't do. The Democracy of old Columbia will not allow that. Place and power is what the Opposition want This is all they strive for, and to accomplish this, they will make use of every thing, right or wrong. They talk about scretos loose, purse strings, "the pockets of all," &c., and tell you by voting lor their man your pockets will be filled, and a good tirwe in general will be experienced. When they tell you this, they are not to be bolieved ; for there is no truth in it. They harp about skinplasteis. It is true there are some paper issued, but at the present lime no great amount outstanding. What county is it that does not issues shin plasters ? Is not Columbia county good for all she issues 1 Has she not always paid her debts 1 She stands clear on the Records at Harrisbnrg. Those who make the loudest noise let thy* undertake to collect taxes these tight times and they will find out where they stand and how it goes to keep up county finances. Some of them would not earn their salt—let alone keeping the County Treasury flush. Some of these chappies are in arrears, and had belter fork over to Mr. Collector, or forever hold their peace. LIFE OF COL. DAVID CROCKETT —This in teresting volume was written by himself and contains a very correct history of his early life, hunting adventures, services un der GEN. JACKSON in the Greek War, elec tioneering speeches, career in Congrosß, triumphal lour in the Northern States, and services .in the Texan War, &c. An ac count is also added of Col. Crockett's glori ous death at the Alamo, while fighting in defence of Texan Independence. Col. David Crockett was one of the most re inarkatile men of llio times in which lie lived. Born in humble life, but pilioil with a strong will, an indomitable courage, and unremitting perseverance, as well as an aptitude for accumulating information from his intercourse with men of superior educa tion, he rose to posts of high honor and dis tinction. The life of Col. Crockett was, as we have said before, written bv himself, is entirely without literary pretensions; but i: is full of interest as well as instruction. It shows how much may bo accomplished by a right aim, a strong will, and att indomitable spirit of perseverance This book contains four hundred and five pages, most handsomely printed. It is very prettily bound in red cloth, with splendid gilt work upon it. A copy of this book and a handsome present will be sent by mail, postpaid, upon the receipt of 41.00 tor iho book ami 21 cunts lor postage. Persons wishing to purchase a book or more, will address G. G F.VANS, publisher, 139 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. This is a reliable establishment WE HAD suppesed those men who get of fended at editors, because they do not sup port them every lime they corno out for of fice, were all gone: but this is not the case ; Ave yet have a lew of that stripe loft Some men, it appears, have an idea dial an editor must support them, whenever they come up for office, if they only takojthe paper, regardless of qualifications. Not sorry to say, we had a candidate, judging from hi! actions, of this character, praying before tho County Convention this fall for a nomina tion, and ho was defeated. After the strng gle was over, and he finding himself laid upon the table to rest, in order to let oir some ot his malice and spleen, and display a portion of his unsound sense, he called around to discontinue his paper. We did not consider this over smart on the part of the candidalo ; had he acted different we should not havo known that he was hurl. There are several things very essential in the qualifications of a man to fit him for of fice. This candidate, from experience, has been taught that such is the fact. He is satisfied, probably, that his services were not needed, that tho people oI this county made good selections. Stick to the ticket, my good fellow. TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT. —WhiIe in our pen, paste and scissors career," we never witnessed a more amazing and exciting time, than the one we are about to relate, which happened a few days since in this place, just as our peaceful village was about preparing itself to enjoy a sweet nap in the arms of Morpheus, by the sudden arrival of a large assortment of new and fashiona ble goods at Mr. David Loiecnberg's clothing emporium, one door above the AMERICAN HOUSE. J\lr. L. has been very careful is his selections, and purchased to suit the times and the people. His goods are from the cities of New York and Philadelphia. Any thing in the wearing line, lor men and boys, can be had at his store, from the highest price down to tho lowest. He makes up clothing to order, and also keeps ready made clothiug on hand. Give him a call. THREE PER CENT, A MONTH, or the Perils of Fast Living : A Warning to Young Men, by CHARLES BURDF.TT —Ibis work is pub lished in Philadelphia, by the popular Gilt Kuturprise man, G. G. Evans, ami it is most an excellent little volume, containing some thing like threo hundred and ninety-three pages, if our memory serves us right. The title of this book sounds rather singular— Three per cent, a month —but its contents are as good as its title is singular. The book con tains thirty-uine chapters; and it is very well written. To give our patrons an idea what the work is like, we will name some of tho contents : " Looking for a Home " The First Bummer in the Country " The Fast Man's Holiday" The Car pernor's Weddiug day,'' &c. This work can be had, with a splendid gilt accompany ing it, by sending $1 00, and twenty-one cents for postage, to G. G. Evans, 439 Chest nut St., Philadelphia. COSMOPOLITAN ART JOURNAL:—WO are pleased to announce that we havo received tho September Quarterly Number of this most excellent Journal, published by the Cosmopolitan Art Association, New York.— Price Fifty Cents a number. It is most handsomly embellished with portraits, Bur passing everything of the kind. The liter ature contained in this publication is of tho first class. It is moral, instructive and in teresting. A great deal ol pains are taken in the execution of this work, to make it desirable and agreeable, and we think the publishers have accomplished this—a most beneficial object. Those ol our readers, wishing something splendid, and the worth of their money, we would advise them to subscribe for the ART JOURNAL. HON. G. W. BAKER has token editorial charge of the Daily I'eimsylvauian, publish ed at Philadelphia; NIMROD STRICKLAND having retired. Tho while under charge of Mr. Strickland, was ably and fearlessly edited ; and advocated Dem ocratic measures and the Administration with much force and ability. Mr Raker is an able and lucid writer. The paper will not luck in interest. The Opposition will find Mr. Baker's pen a severe one to con tend with. AT tho sale of Government arms, which took place at Washington on Wednesday, rifles sold at Iroin $1 to $4 ; muskets, $1 to $2 50 ; cannon, $8 to $l2. The harness averaged about $3 per set; flints, 1 cent per hundred. GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK. —We are free to ac knowledge that this magazine surpasses all other publications in richness, finish and beauty. This number for October, which is already roceived, is a most splendid one. It is certainly not more than simple justice to Mr Godey, the oldest magazine publish er in this country, to award to him the ere dit of being far ahead of all competitors in catering to the tastes of the ladies. This work as we have oft told our readers, is published in Philadelphia, at the low figure of S3 per annum. By club it can be had still cheaper. r<T Wo are sorry that the Mechanics' 1 celebration at Kspy, Columbia county, was I not successful. Gen Clement, the Demo cratic nominee for District Attorney in this county, was invited to address them, and went on for that purpose, but had not a fitting opportunity of giving the me chanics of that county a specimen of his fine oratorical powers. The General is a fine speaker, and is appreciated as such not only in this but in the neighboring counties. At the late term of Court, in the trial of an important criminal case, he displayed unusual abilities, and made an impression upon the people in attendance at the Court that will act with great force at the October election. If the question of ability has any weight with the voters, (and we believo that it lias great weight,) Con. Clement will receive a large majority of the voters in this county— Sunbu ty Gazette. HON. DAVID TAGGART, President of the Pennsylvania Slate Agricultural Society will please accept our thanks for a complimen tary ticket to the State Fair, which will be held at Powelton, Philadelphia, on Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, tho 27th, 28th, 291h, and 30th instant. It pur ports to be a grand affair. A large attend dance is anticipated. Wo had tho pteasuro of visiting the Fair Grounds last week. It speaks well for the Society. AUTUMN. —The local of the Buflalo Repub lic says a pretty thing in the following : "We saw a dead leaf fall yesterday. It may not bu the first token of Autumn—the dying year—yet we look upon it with about tho samo fouling that a tnan experiences when he discovers his first gray hair, or the mis ery felt by a fashionable lady when all at once the fact comes home to her that her eldest daughter is a marriageable female.— The crow's leel in tho corners of the eyes are the falling leaves of life, and the dead twigs tho gray hairs that have lost their sap, and tell only of what has been. Yet Au tumn has i'.s fruits,as ago has its experience; with experience comes faith, as plenty comes with autumn. Let us then hoard up faith, as Autumn gathers up its bounty." CARBON COUNTV.— The Democracy of Car bon County have nominated the following ticket: —Assembly, Z. H. LONG ; District Attorney, ALI.BN CHAIG; County Commis sioner, ABRAHAM SHOKTZ; County Treasur er, ROBERT KLOTZ ; Coroner, EDWIN BAUER ; County Auditor, DANIEL II EBEKLING ; Coun ty Surveyor, HIRAM BELFOIU) ; Director of the Poor, GEORGE STETLKR. THE Pcnasylvanian of 10th inst., contained lire card of Judge STRICKLAND, announcing that he has retired irom editorial manage ment of that paper, the experience of a few mouths having assured him that he could not, with a proper regard for health, give that personal attention and supervision ne cessary to conduct a daily journal. He is succeeded by Judge BAKER, a gentleman of talent, education, and a ready aad forcible writer. ARTHUR'S Home Magazint lor October has been recoived at this office in good time.

MVSTERIOCS AFFAlR.— Harrishurg, Sept 9. —A report has been current here to-day, that a rnulato girl had made a statement be fore an officer in Carlisle, Pa , to the effect that money had been paid her to keep quiet in regard to what she knew of the murder of a man by a citizen of Philadelphia, du ring a quarrel which occurred in a gamb ling hell of this city, and of the burial of tho body of the murdered man near the house. She was brought hero and made a similar statement before Judgu Pierson and the District Attorney. When tho murder was committed is not stated. The Coroner and District Attorney refuse to give any particulars regarding the affair, until they havo made an investigation. It is known here to night that the parly suppos ed to be implicated has been arrested in Philadelphia, on the strength of a telegraph ic desputch from tho authorities of this city. FIRE AT RASTOM .—EasIon, Sept. 17. —The stabling attached to tho United States Hotel caught on fire this morning. The stables were occupied by the horses attached to Dan Rice's circus, and twelve of them were smothered. Those lost, however, were mostly team horses, and his loss will not exceed £5,000. The fire originated through the carelessness ol a driver, who let a fluid lamp fall, causing it to burst and scatter the flames among the combustible contents of the stables. The damage to the hotel was trilling. THE GREAT FAIR OF THE MISSISSIPPI VAL LEY.—The St. Louis Agricultural and Me chanical Association have issued a premium list that surpasses in extent and liberality anything ever before issued. There are of fered more than $20,000 in premiums, and among the number are three premiums of $l,OOO each which are given for "best blood ed stallion," for " best stallion in harness " and for "best blooded bull." These pre miums, which will be paid in cash, will bring whatever blooded slock there is in the Union to the " Great Fair," and whoever will visit St, Louis on the occasion will see the finest exhibition in tho stock lice that the world oversaw before on one occasion. Lf Tlio following telegram lias been sent all over tho country. II il is hot a " sensa tion item," manufactured for the occasion, it would appear that Mr. Breckinridge does not intend to bo a candidate at the present time for the Presidential nomination. Mr. Breckinridge is one of the most brilliant statesmen in the country, young, talented, ardent and enthusiastic. His Democratic record is pure, and)ie has the confldonce of his countrymen w{jo would delight to do him honor, lt has before been intimated that the Vice-President was content to look to the future and would Icavo the present battle to bo fought by older con testants longer in the field. Although not accustomed to lake for gospel everything which appears as telegrams wo have reason to believe that the inlormation contained in the following dispatch, is correct: WASHINGTON, Aug. 28, 1859. Attorney-General Black, in conversation with a Democratic editor in I'eunsylvania, said that he was in receipt ot a loiter from Vice President Breckinridge, in which he said that he was not, and would not be, un d-r any circumstances, a candidate (or the Presidency. This is from a source entirely trustworthy. Tho New York Herald announces tho same faqt in the following words : Judge Black has received a letter from Vice President Bruckiltridge, deprecating any use whatever of his name in connection with the nomination for tho presidency. It is said that Üb-ptefters a nout in tho Sou alo. Tho reebnily' elected Legislature of Ken'ucky will elect him as the successor to Mr, Crittenden, whoso term expires March, 1860. HARD TIMES AMONG WESTERN PREACHERS. —The Upper lowa Conference, which clos od its session last week in lowa City, we j learn from the Notlhweatem Methodist advo cate, must be a hard field. Many of the former preachers have labored in the faco of absolute want, not merely of money, but of the necossarios oflifo. Tho "daily broad" has been wanting, and many families on tho frontier have lived on hominy instead The editor remarks : "Wo have said that there were hard times in the northwest, such as nowhere else, and so ho says now. What would somo of our eastern brethren say to going to ([uarterly mooting, and after coming wiihin-fittMniles be compelled to leave their horses and walk through tho slush? After preaching, tho class leader says, 'We have nothing to eat;' but finds in the meantime some meal has been pro cured, and the preachers shate it. Next morning, love-feast is held without bread, for there is none ! The service is preached and tho audience dismissed without the ad ministration of tho Lord's Supper, for the people can provide no bread! Yet the Methodist preachers who endure these things say not a word of desisting. Truly the days of heroes are not past. Tho men who are there will not desert the sheep in tho wilderness. In some instances, but for the small missionary appropriations, our brethren and their families would have been utterly penniless. Yet there is no flinch- J ing. Men stand true to their post. They can afTord to die, but not to desert. They share with the pooplo in their poverty, and when days of abundance shall come the people will share with them of their plenty. Some of the preachers were compelled to work, "laboring with their own hands," to j provide for their families. Yet the senli ; ment of the Conference against a seculari zed clergy was clear and unmistakable.— I By the way, some time since, a "frontier I layman" reported that an lowa presiding j elder received from one circuit, as his claim, J for one quarter, two chickens and one pound lof butter. We have seen the preachet,in charge, who says there were fifteen chick ens and six pounds oi butter sent in quar terly conference. Of these the presiding elder received six chickens and bought four pounds of butter, and the pastor desired the matter corrected, as his people believe in paying up the presiding elder !"' But Methodist preachers are not alone in their sufTorings. A Presbyterian missions ry in one of the Western States writes to the Central Herald : "I have not a dollar in cash, and not a dollar's worth of provisions | in the house. 01 those who subscribed S2OO to my support last November, I know not a man to whom 1 can go for a measure of meal or a pound ol meat. Times have been awfully hard for six months past.— Johnny-cake has been the slafTof lifo, and almost life itself." THE PUBLISHING HARPERS.— Tho family originally came from England and settled on Long Island, near the village of Newton. The father and mother became the followers of John Wesley,and we believe that a major ity if not all tho present mcmbors of that firm belong to the Methodist Church, and have pews in the §L Paul's new marble Methodist edifice in Fourth avenue. So cially they are all excellent men. The seni or, James Harper, ex-Know-Nolhing May or of New York, is fond oft good joke, and enlivens the company he may associate with by relating many a laugh-provoking anecdote. John, the next oldest, is an ex cellent man with a clear head, active habits and great business tact. Fletcher, the third brother, is a kind-hearted, pleasant and agreeable man; also laughs heartily at a good joke, and is, when not absent in Eu rope on business, the talking man ol the concern , with authors, idlers and outsiders in general. Wesley, the fourth, wo believe is the youngest of the brothers. He is the local and active business man of the firm, under whose supervision all the various mechanical operations of the houso are car ried ou. He is quick, industrious and of few words, buf has a mind that is as keen as a briar. The "quarto" of brothers de serve great credit for their success. They commenced in humble but respectablo spheres—the eldest as printers ; and James, the eldest, we are told, in his younger life worked many a day pulling at a hand-press in a job printing office. From printers they got to be publishers, and have arrived at the head of their business.— Richmond In quirer. FOR PRESIDENT.— The Chambersburg tal ley Spirit raises the name of Judge BLACK to tho head of its columns for the Democratic nomination at Charleston, and advocates this selection in a strong editorial. A HISTORY OF ALL RELIGIONS l Containing a statement of the origin, deve lopment, doctrines and government ol the religious denominations in Kuropo and the United States, with biographical sketches of eminent divines, liy SAMUEL M. SMUCKER, LL. D. Published by Duuno Itulison, Quaker Lily Publishing House , 33 South Tliird Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The subject of Religion and the Doctrines of Sects must always have an absorbing in terest for the thoughtful observer, and a work which atlbrds the desired information, in a convenient and accessible form, at a moderate price, has been urgently demand ed, and will bo sought for with avidity, and must command a large sale. In the present work, the origin, develop ment, doctrinal belief, Church government and pecularities of over eighty different re ligious sects, are treated in a style clear, compendious and accurate, and will afford all the information which might be procured with great difficulty and expense, and much labor and research, Irom the larger polemi cal works and encyclopedias. Dr. Smucker has evidently prepared this work with much care, and it exhibits great ability and learning. The articles oil the dif ferent religions are very impartially written, and show the careful study of an unprejudi | ced and sound mind; and the importance [ and value cannot bo 100 highly estimated of such superior and unbiassed effort in a work of this kind, as 100 often, those pre tending to give correct information upon such snbjectsare prejudiced in favor of some particular sects or denominations, Mr. Itulison has brought out the work in a very handsome lorm, and the public is indebted to him for a very valuable, instructive and useful book. The price, 61.00, is remark ably low for such a work, and in order that it may have a rapid and extensive circula tion, he will send it to any address, accom panied with a valuable Gift, on the receipt of the price and twenty cents to pre-pay postage. Mr. Rulison will send free, on applica tion, his new, enlarged and revised Catalo gue of Books and Gilts, containing all infor mation relativo to the establishment of Ag encies in tho Gift Book business.

THE ERIE RAILROAD RIOT.— -A r eta York, Sept. 18.—In consequence of the Erie Rail road being blocked up at the Bergen tunnel by tho laborers, who refused to let any trains pass until the arrears of their pay are forth coming, tho Company has dispatched a steamboat to Piormont to curry thither tho passengers destined lor tho West, and to bring to this city those detained there that had arrived by trains from tho West. New York, Sept. 13— Evoning —Tho ob strucliouL on the road have been removed, and forty of the rioters have been arrested. Tho trains are now running regularly. A strong force of polico and military remain on the ground to prevent any renewal of the disturbance Holloway's Ointment and Pills have effec ted another wonderlul Cure ol Sore Legs Anthony Harrison Scurd, of Martinsbnrg, was a sufferer for twenty-eight years from sore legs, so bad at times, that human na ture could scarcely bear it, as they were covered with wounds and proud flesh. His friends had given up all hopes of his ever regaining the use of his limbs, as lie was in so pitiable a stale, the more especially as the doctors told him it was constitutional. Having heard from several people the good effects Holloway's Pills had produced in cases of this nature, he made up his mind to give them a trial; after using them for a few weeks, he felt much better, and by continuing them for two months and a half, he was perfectly cured, after being 23 years a cripple, and considered beyond human aid.
