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

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

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."

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

this selection in a strong editorial.

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

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

of the price and twenty cents to pre-pay

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.
