KOTICE. We will continue to eend
out bill to those of onr patrons who are in
debted to u for one, xro, and thru,, year's
nbscription to the Star until the first of May
next. All those indebted to os for three
year's- subscription, (S6 00) who do not pay
prompt attention to these bills, we will be
under the necessity of placing their accounts
in the hands of an officer for collection, and
discontinue the paper. We have quite a
number on our books who have the first
cent to pay os. Many snch delinquents
would break op a printer, unless his panta
loon pockets were daily lined with cash
from some other nocrce. We are necessa
rily obliged to make close collections up to
the time above staled, and we therefore
slope onr patrons will heed the call.
The British, Press on American Affairs.
The European Timet, of the 23d oil, has
a very sensible and candid article on the
troubles of the United States, and in which
the gravest distrust is manifested as to the
ability of the present Administration to cope
with the mighty events involved in the cri
sis through which we are passing. It thinks
that "the Inaugural Address of the new
Frtident is a sensible enough document,
as far as it goes," but adds :
"All the professions which Mr. Lincoln
makes of fairness and impartiality to the
receding States will not be sufficient to lure
them back, and if bis resolve be carried
ont of retaking the Federal properly and
collecting the duties, it is clear that civil
war mot iollow, for it will be impossible
to do either without lighting the torch that
leads to collision."
The Times argues that notwithstanding
the peace policy which appears on the'sur
face of Lincoln's inaugural, "the whole
spirit of it points another way." It also
expresses the opinion that the new Coufed
eration is rapidly gaining in the respect and
confidence of Europe. It 6ays ;
"In fact, the recent course of. events on
the American continent has weakened the
sympathy that has existed is England for
the preservation of the Union since the pol
icy of i lie Southerners became developed,
and many people, who first regarded the
secession a an unmixed evil, now view it
as the best remedy. We do not share this
opinion. We siili cling to the belief, or
at least the hope, that the Union wilt be
preserved in its integrity, for its disruption
would, we hold, be a calami tj to the world
at lariie."
What an ignominious spectacle does the
government of the United Slates present to
the eyes of the world ! that government
which, when firt established, commanded
the highest admiration of mankind. Now
racked with dissentions, and threatened
with a speedy precipitation into all miser
eries of a cruel intestine war, and for a
cause which is disgraceful to human mind,
arising from the abstract question whether
slavery may go into frozen and barren ter
ritories, or the liberties, peace, union and
happiness of a free and enlightened peo
ple be sacrificed and destroyed io resisting
it. Can it be possible that history, faithful
ia its record, will have to chronicle such an
inquiry 1
. We really had imagined that after the
election of Mr. Lincoln, and the commence
ment of the extreme Southern movement,
the shock wocld have aronsed an olden time
sense of patriotism in the breast of at least
him opon whom the Republicans had cast
tracy, and would have aleo revived in his
political friends, thone considerations of
duty and love of country taught by the ge-nioua-of
American liberty, and, until now,
supj csed to have been inseparably connect
ed with American birth, education and as
sociation. Tut demands of the Border States tbrongh
their propositions of compromise were emi
nently just. They asked only to be onr
equals, and to share an equality of rights
Had this been granted, Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Ter.ceee, Missouri,
and Arkansas would have rallied unchange
ably, to the national flag the secession
movement of the Golf States would have
died out for the want of incentive and the
trong hearts of a patriotic people. North
and South, Toald soon have rescued and
restored the Union But the AboIitionUu,
who are now merged and lost ic the Re
publican ranks, have other motives than
peace or the restoration of the Union.
Their principles and designs ; have neither
been lost nor abandoned, but are really now
enthroned for development at the Capitol
of the nation. To force their long rejected
heresies, therefore, through blood and fire,
upon a protesting people mar be, and un
doubtedly is, the design ol our Abolition
rulers.
Oppoped to Sklt Goversmcvt. The course
of Mr. Lincoln, in his attempt to subjugate
the South, is in direct opposition to the
principle of the Declaration of Indepen
dence. That :m mortal document declares :
: M'fhat governments are instituted among
inen, deriving their just powers from the
consent - ot the governed; that whenever
any form of government becomes destruc
tive of these end it is the right of the peo
ple to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundation on
Mich principle, and organizing its powers
in such forms a to them eball seem most
hke!y to eBezl their safety and happiness."
Mr. Lincoln wonld. of course, say tnat
the "safety and happiness" of the South
are not intended lobe disturbed, but so said
George the Third. . .-

War Began J
On Friday last the whole connlry -was
apprised of the fact that war had aetually
begun.,The ball was opened, and war inau
gurated the batteries on Sullivan's Island,
Morris' Island, and other points, commenc
ing fire on Fort Sampler, about '4 o'clock
in the morning of the day above mentioned.
Maj. Anderson returned the fire, and a
brisk cannonading was kept up for nearly
two days and a night, when Fort Sampler
was unconditionally surrendered.
Maj. Anderson ceaed firing about 7
o'clock, on Friday evening, to be resumed
at day-light in the morning. It was sup
posed that he was resting his men, as he
did not reply ; and as was anticipated, he
commenced to return fire at 7 o'clock the
following morning, but seemed to be great
ly disabled. The battery on Comming's
point done Sumpter great damage. Two oi
its port holes were knocked into one, and
the wall began crumbling from the top.
The fire from Morris' Island and Moultrie
was divided between Sumpter and the ships
of war. It was reported that three vessels
were seen over the bar, and seemed to be
preparing to participate in the conflict.
The batteries cantinued firing on Fort
Sumpter the whole of Friday night, save at
intervals of twenty minutes. In the morn
ing all resumed their work more fiercely
than before, the Federal Fleet outside the
bar participating with the best of their abili
ty under the circumstances
After the surrender, which took place
during Saturday, Maj. Anderson's men,
under gnard, were conveyed by boats to
Morris' Island, where they were well pro
vided for, and the Major left for the city of
Charleston, where he was the principal
guest of General Beauregard. The people
generally sympathized with Anderson, but
expressed abborance for those steamers off
the bar, and in sight of them, and did not
even attempt to re-enforce the Major.
The Fort was taken possession of, the
night alter the surrecder,by the Confederate
troops. They immediately sent three fire
companies to Sumpter to put out the fire,
as the woodwork of the Fort and the offi
cer's quarters were all being burnt out. It
was feared the fire would soon reach the
magazines, and result in much damage
The Fort is much Injured. Three of the
barbette guns were dismounted, and a cor
ner of the Fort opposite Moultrie was
knocked away
It is reported that altogether two thousand
shots were fired ; and also that no South
Carolinians were hurt. But we think this
report greatly exagerated. It is rather sin
gular that so much j6hooting should be
done ar.d "nobody hurt." We cannot credit
the report. It is true we have dispatches
that several of Anderson's men have been
injured, and but one fatally.
We hsveinformation-to the effect that
President Lincoln has issued a proc
lamation,2caIling out Seventy rive Thou
sand Volunteers to re-take Fort Sumpter ;
also a proclamation calling an extra Sess
ion of Congress on the fourth of July next.
The ''Shinplaster" Knisance.
Among the many bltsnngs already bes
towed, and to be yet bestowed upon the
people of Pennsylvania by the present en
lightened, honest and patriotic legislature,
the paage of a bill empowering the banks j
to issue small notes the next protective
measure on the tapis. Notwithstanding the j
House defeated this obnoxious attempt to;
foist a depreciated rag currency on the peo- I
pie, a few days ago, serious and jat alarm '
is felt that this swindling project will yet '
succeed A mushroom member by the
name of Seltzer representing one of the
districts of Philadelphia, but an original
plant of Berks County, a most ferocious in
tense Know-Nothing Republican is the ad
vocate of this Shinplaster Scheme. This
transplanted vegitable appears to be con
stantly haunted by the ghost of some ('lo
cofoco"apd considers himself in doty bound
to "go in" for everything the "loco-focos"
are opposed to. and vicu versa. The Led
ger's correspondent at Harrisburg holds the
following language in regard to the small
note question and the other small subject :
'The House considered, at yesterday af
ternoons' session, the proposed amend
ments to Free Banking Law, the leading
features of which empower the banks to
issue small notes of the denomination of
one two and three dollars, and repeal the
provision reqnireing one fifth oi the capital
stock of each bank to be paid in specie.
The small note scheme was defeated by a
vote of 53 to 34, although it was strenuously
pressed by members from Northern and
Western counties, who were backed op by
one of your city representatives Mr. Selt
zer. I: was not my good fortune to hear
what arguments he advanced in favor of
debasing the cerrency of the State by a flood
of dirty labor-robbing shinplasiers, but sup
pose he disco vored that the Hocofocos" were
opposod to this measure, and that this fact
was to his mind conclusive evidence that it
must be right. This member is in a bad
way ; visions of gloomy and vindictive
locofocoa" pursue him relentlessly, and
be seems to have a fatal presentment that
they will some day be the death of him
No doubt he is right about that."
But drop a very small subject for a very
important one, it is not certain that this
vote puts an end to the small vote business.
Its advocates are perxistert, and will bring
it up in some other form. No depen
dence can be placed upon the legislature,
and the verdict recorded yesterday in the
House may be reversed next week in con
sequnce of new light and fresh information.
The Legislature proposed to adjourn on
the lSib inst., and the Senate concurred in
the proposition : but the affairs of the nation
have assumed rather an alarming aspect,
lor the last few days, consequently we
could not expect this body to adjourn with
out doing something to assist the President
to successfully carry out bis administration.
Yes, something has been done already :
an act has been passed and became a law,
authorizing the State Treasurer to pay out
S503,000 for the purpose of equipping the
State.' The next intelligence we hear will
be the terving of notices upon the different
volunteer companies in the State, summon
ing their aid to Washington city for the
purpose of assisting the administration in
the carrjing out of its laws. .-''""'
The Apportionment Bill.
The bill apportioning - the State for the
election or members of Congress, is a 'cu
riosity from ita brazen political rascality
and hardened recklessness. It would seem
to have been framed solely for partisan
purposes, and the ingenuity of the commit
tee has been put to the severest test to ac
complish sach an arrangement of the Dis
tricts as would most surely destroy the in
fluence of the Democratic counties, to
which end no discrepancy in population be
tween one District and another has been
allowed in any way to influence them.
The total population of the State is 2,906,
370, and the State being- entitled to 23
members of Congress, makes the vote 126,
363. We find, however, that various Dis
tricts largely exceed the ratio, while others
fall equally short of it, and in almost every
case political considerations have influenc
ed the arrangement.
The 11th District contains a population
of 159,281 exceeding the required ratio
by?2:9l8; while the 14th District has a
population of but 101,427 or 24.936 less
than the ratio, making the difference be
tween the two District nearly half the ratio.
The five largest Districts having the greatest
excess over the required ratio are as follows:
1 llh District . . . . 159,281
10th do . . . 136.615
7th do 143,819
19ih do . . . . 135,650
12th do . . . 133,187
708,552
If we compare these with the five Districts
that have the smallest population, viz :
16ih District .... 101,427
1 4 h do ... 109,058
13ih do . . . 114.957
8th do ... 116315
6ih do . . . . 115,647
557,404
We find that the five first named Dis
tricts exceed in population the five lasi
named by 151,480, or more than sufficient
population to form another district, and
more than any District contains, except the
I llh.
The bill is, in every sense, purely parti
san, and its designers anticipate large ad
vantage Irom it ; but we apprehend they
are doomed to disappointment.
Apportionment Bill.
AN ACT to divide the Slate into Congress
ional Districts for the election of repre
sentatives in the Congress of the United
Stales.
- Sec I. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Commonwealth '
of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and
it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same,
That for the purpose of electing represents
tives of the people of Pennsylvania to serve
in the Hou?e of Representatives of the Uni
ted States, this State shall be divided into
twenty-three districts, as follows:
1st. Second, third fourth, fifth, sixth and
eleventh wards in the city of Philadelphia.
2d. Frst. seventh, eighth and tenth wards
in the city of Philadelphia.
3d. Twelfth, thirteenth, sixteenth, seven
teeth and nineteenth wards in the city of
Philadelphia.
4th. Fourteenth, fifteenth, twentieth,
twenty-first and twenty-fourth wards in the
city of Philadelphia.
5th. Twenty-second, twenty-third and
twenty-fifth wards in the city of Philadel
phia, Bucks county and that part of Mont
gomery county embracing Moreland, Ab
ington, Chelteham, Horsham, Upper Dub
I'm, White Marsh, Springfield , Montgomery,
Gwynned, Aatfield, Towamassing, Franco
nia, and Lower Salford.
6ih. Delaware county, Chester coonty,
Upper and Lower Marion, borough of
Bridgeport, in the county of Montgomery.
7th. Berks county and the balance oi
Montgomery county.
8ih. Lancaster county.
9th. Schuylkill and Lebanon counties.
10th- Lehigh, Pike, Monroe, Carbon and
Northampton counties.
Uth. Susquehanna, Wayne and Luzerne
counties-
J2ih. Bradford, Montour, Columbia, Sul
livan and Wyoming counties, and the bal
ance of Northumberland county not inclu
ded in the thirteenth district.
13th. Dauphin and York counties and
Lower Mahonoy township, in Northumber
land county, not included in the 12th dis
trict. 14th. Union, Snyder, Juniata, Perry and
Cumberland counties.
15th. Somerset, Bedford, Franklin, Ful
ton and Adams counties.
16th. Cambria, Blair, Huntingdon and
Mifflin counties.
17th. Tioga, Potter, Lycoming Clinton
and Centre counties.
18th. Jefferson, Erie, Warren, M'Kean,
Elk, Cameron, lorest and Clearfield coun
ties. 19th. Crawford, Mercer, Venango and

20th. Indiana, Westmorland and Fayette
counties.

and Allegheny rivers.
22d. Alleghany coonty north of the Ohio
and Allegheny rivers, any Butler and Arm
strong counties.
23d. Lawrence, Beaver, Washington and
Green coonty.
The arrangement of the districts bears
evidence of the moat studied and unscrupu
lous partizanship, and in many cases the
grossest injustice is done to Democratic
counties, with the sole view to Republican
ascendency. The case of Montgomery
coonty is peculiar, portions being divided
among three different districts, in order to
destroy the influence of her Democratic
majority. The 12th district, as yon will
discover, is made into a clumsy one. ' It
has been so arianged as to make it Repub
lican. . As it was it answered every pur
pose. Both parties labored hard to accom
plish their ends, and the result was against
us nearly as often as in our favor.

Saturday ships of war and transports, with
troops, provisions, stores', amunition and
arms, large and small; tools, sandbags,
spades and other seige tools ; stalls for hor
ses, boats boat, howitzers for landkig, and
"all the circumstance of war,"clearsd from
New York, with sealed orders, for parts un
known. ' The city was like a camp, and the
excitement wasjntense. Some of he offi
cers of the army, knowing the bloody mis
sion on which the Powhatan and Atlantic
were sent, resigned rather than mingle in
the fratricidal conflict. The ships which
have sailed are but the van ; others are pre
paring to follow them, not only from New
York, but from the navy yard of Charles
town, Ma6s., where there is the same war
like activity as at Brooklyn and New York.
, It is thos evident that a bloody cival war
is resolved opon by Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabinet. After long hesitation, the Presi
dent has screwed his coorage to the fight
ing point. At what precise spot he intends
to commence hostilities or to provoke them
whether at Charleston, Pensacola, the
mouths of the Mississippi, or in Texas,
where there is an evident design to excite
"domestic insurrection," or at all of these
places together does not yet appear; but a
few days will unfold the mystery.
To Mr. Lincoln, his Cabinet and the lead
ers of the Republican party three courses
are open first, to yield to the Confederate
States and to all the slaveholding commu
nities their just rights as coequal partners
in the Union, which would have had the
effect of healing the breach and reuniting
the sections ; second, to permit a peacea
ble and bloodless separation, either in the
hope of reunion at a future day, or at least
of a friendly alliance for mutual defence
against foreign foes, and for the establish
meet of commercial relations, which, if not
specially favoring the North, would not at
least discriminate against her ; and third, to
wage a war of subjugation against seven
sovereign States, which will be ultimately
extended to fifteen, to compel them to sub
mit to the authority of the government at
Washin gton, and to pay a tribute to it, in
contravention to the great principle for
which the colonies fought and conquered
the mother country ic the revolution of 1776
the principle that without representation
there can be no taxation."
The first of the three courses was the
best, and would have been that of a states
man. The second is the next best course.

lead to. the same result after inflicting an
amount of suffering and calamity is appall
ed As for now restoring the revolted
Slates to Xr 9 Union by war, that is the wild
est chimera that ever entered the brain of
man.
Tfcs third course has been adopted, and
that ii unquestionably the worst of all. It
will be desiructive to the prestage and to
the interests of the North, to say nothing of
the overwhelming expense and debt which
it will entail upon the country, the many
hearths it will leave desolate, and the feel
ings of bitter eternal enmity which it will
have engendered.
The pretence of carrying out the laws of
this Union in the Confederate States, enfor
cing the federal authority and colleciing the
revenue, is too transparent to deceive any
person. It has been clearly demonstrated I
that it is impossible to accomplish these
objects without civil war of the most fero
cious kind. To make the attempt, there
fore, is to deliberately commence a war
whose end the present generation may not
live to see, and whose disastrous effects will
be such as to annihilate the accumulated
wealth of the country at a blow, and throw
back its progress half a century The real
object of the war is to collect revenue, nor
to assert the authority of the federal gov
ernment, nor to protect its property. It is
a war of propagandism a war against the
social institutions ol fifteen States a war to
extripate negro slavery, if not to extermin
ate slaveholders It is the irrepressible
conflict predicted by Mr. Seward and Mr.
Lincoln, and for which Garrison, Giddings,
and the blood-thirsty abolitionists of their
fanatical party have been laboring for the
last thirty years. N. Y. Herald.

been accustomed to show to his predeces

strict accountability for their acts, but Mr.
Curtin seems to be acting more like a king
than a servant of the people. Through his
partizan Legislature he disposes of millions
of State property, with coolness and impu

The Philosophy of Fact !
A writer in HalTs Journal of Health, com
bats in a very forcible manner the prevail
ing but erroneous opinion that sudden deaths
are invariably the result of heart disease.
Nothing-could be farther from the truth as it
has been ably demonstrated from scientific
investigations that 5j per cent, only arose
from disease of the heart, and that the mor
tality from costiveness alone was threefold
greater than from the heart, apoplexy, or
pulmonary affections. This universal and
popular fallacy should be dissipated at once
and the real cause of sudden deaths, with
the best preventive measures submitted to
the people This has been the docirine ol
Dr Holloway through a long and arduous
career in all parts of the civilized worid
In almost every disease he prescribes his '
celebrated Pills, whose immediate action is
on the stomach and bowls. Unlike ordi
nary cathartics, however, which create a j
necessity for repitition until the functions of
the bowels have become paralyzed, Dr
HoIIoway's Pills penetrate to the seat of the
disorder, and not only expel the acrid mat
ter from the stomach and viscera, but to
renovate and invigorate them that a future
recurrence of the malady is actually impos
sible. The influence of those remedies is
not confined to these organs alone. Their
active principle combining with the blood
is conveyed to every part of the system, so
that the whole constitution become invigor
ated, and ibe general health of the patient
established on a more firm and durable
basis than ever.
During Dr. HoIIoway's brief sojourn in
the United Stales, he visited our principal
cities, and gave several popular lectures on
the cause and origin of disease in general
clearly showing their effect upon the sys
tem. He also explained in an easy and
familiar style the peculiarity and operation
of his Pills and Ointment in all phases and
types of disease. -'Electic Expositor."

k now led go what yonr t-artwitarilla baa done for me.
Having inherited a Scrofulous infection, I hre anflered
from it in Tarious ways fur years. Sometime it bant
out in Ulcers on my hand and arm; sometimes it
turned Inward and distressed me at the stomach. Two
year ago it broke cut on my head and corered my scalp
and ear with one sore, which wai painful and loaihnotne
beyond description. 1 tried many niedklne and several
physicians, but without much relief from any thing. In
fact, the disorder grew worse. At length I was rejoiced
to read in the Go pel Memenger that you had prepared
an alUtrativs (araparilla), for I knew from yoar repwta
tiou that any thing you made must be good. I sent to
Ciuciuuatiandgot it, and need it till it cured me. I took
it, as you advise, in small dose of a teapoonfal over
muth, and used almost thre bottles. New aud bealtby
skin soon began to form nuder the scab, which sfter a
while fell off. My kin it now ch-ar, and 1 know by my
feeling that th disease bit gone from my vtem. Yon
can well believe tbut 1 M what 1 am saying when I tell
you, that I hold you to be one of the apostle of the age,
and rewaiu ever gratefully. Yours,

eaten away a considerable part of it, so that I believe the
disorder would soon reach Lis brain and kill him. Bat it
yielded to my administration of yoar SaraaparilU ; the
ulcer healed, and he i well again, not of course without
some disfiguration to hi face. A woman who bad bees
