TIIR STIR AND BANNER. CIETTIIS NU. Friday Evaning, Jam .28, 1853. Encouraging tflPidtlerirork-ofselisieinsebseriptions of Stock for the Gettysburg Railroad is being pushed forward with mach visor in our county. The Board of Commissioners have called upon a number of active, in fluential citizen's in the townships, to take measures for presenting the Books to every citizen in their bounds. We under stand that the following appointments have been made: For lionsiltonban township—Hon. Jan Wilson. • Liberty—Maj. John Musselmqn. Franklin—Caps. Frederick Diehl, A.- braluon Mickley, and Jacob Deardorff'. Cuntherland—Caps. Robert McCurdy. Freedom—Abrn ham - Krim. - Mountjoy—Stimuel Durboraw, Micha el 'Frostle and Michael Fissell. Mena//en—Win. B. Wilson, James J. Wills. Henry Comfort. Butler—Daniel Markly, Alexander Co. sec. John Hoover, Jacob Shank. Sfrabon—John Weible, Josiah Benner, Joseph 'Weible. A generous response is being made by these gentlemen to the call of the Com missioners. There is one thing that has given character to the efforts heretofore made, and that is the freedom with which those efforts have been bestowed—no com pensation having been demanded or be ing expected, except in the anticipated publio benefit nod prosperity. The Board have acted wisely in thus husbanding the resources of the Company, and we have no doubt that the same economy and self-de nial will characterize their further opera tions. We have no doubt there are active, lib eral citizens in abundance, who will be willing to discharge the duties of President and Directors of the .Company when tit;:' ganitod, without pay for their services—at least until the ,Toad.shall have been com pleted. The Stockh . olders should and no doubt will see ,to it that such men are elected. Railroad Movdnientm at York iszr-We notice in the York papers a call for a Railroad Convention in that place on the Ist of February next, to "devise ways and means to construct a Railroad froth York to Gettysburg." The call is numerously signed by the leading business Men of York, and also by numerous citi zens from the neighborhoods of A bbotts towc, Oxford, aturGettysburg, iu this county. Tho same papers contain the proceed ings of a preparatory meeting of the citi zens of York, held on Friday evening last, to wake arrangements for the Convention on the Ist of February. Citkonoti S. 3lott- RIS, Esq., presided, who addressed tho meeting in favor of 'tho project, and was followed by Messrs. Samuel Small, G. E. Harsh, J. Garrctson, C. A. Morris, J. L. Mayer, A. Demuth, P. Mclntire,. D. E. Stnall„and Wm. D. Ilimes—all of whom warmly pressed the great necessity and impntanee of the Road to the citizens of York. The following gentlemen were appointed a Committee, representing the different branches of trade, by the chair, to pre paro business, and make such other ar rangements as they might deem proper, for an adjourned meeting - which was to have been held last night. D. E. Small, , Eli Lewis, P. NICI n Li re, G. W. Ilaenfrita. Samuel Small, Dr. A. Small, 11. Kauffeli, Joseph Garretson, Daniel Kraber, Hon. D. Durkee, J. Edward Hersh, S. J. Shay, GM. John Hough, David Small. Charles Weiser, D. F. Williams, George A. Heckert, D. A. Prey, Henry A. llama, Daniel Smith, George S. Morris, Daniel Hartman, Henry F. Thomas. These proceedings look as if our York friends were in earnest, and something practical may result from them. The peo ple of York have it, in their power to secure a Road from this place to their town if they see 5t to do so. But everything will depend upon the:nselves. It is our object to secure for Adams county and its county seat the benefits of a Railway communica tion with the Cities, and we believe there is no longer any doubt that a Railroad will bo made from this place. Tho point at which it may intersect the Roads in York county, whether at Hanover or York, must of courao depend mainly upon t h e , induce ments that may be presented from those . , In this spirit we conceive it to be - the duty of our people to continue to bend their energies in favor of a Railroad with ,out regard to its location.

Farmers' Hlib Sobel°ll. at - At the meeting of the State Agri cultural, Society in Harrisburg, on Tues day last, a resolution was passed providing for the appointment of a Committee of five to report on die expediency of adopting measures to establiali a State Agricultural School, to be called "The Farmers' High School of the State of Penneylvania."— iThe committee are Messrs. Algernon 8. fßoberts, A. 0. Hiester, Joseph Konigtna cher, James Carothers and David Melling er. They reported in favor of the project, and offered a resolution that an Agrieul -1 tural convention bo hold at Harrisburg, on Tuesday, March 8, to adopt measures to establish the Institution, with a model farm attached. The delegates are to bo equal in number to the representation of each district in the Senate and House, and to be appointed by the Agricultural Societies, or where they do not exist, by the friends of agricultural education. rWe have been favored with the Ca talogue of Dickinson College, for the Aca demical year 1852-3. The number of Stu dents in attendance during the year was 155, distributed as follows :—Seniors 13, Juniors 24, Sophomores 30, Freshmen 39, Preparatory Department 40. In the Fresh men list we notice the name of LEONARD M. GARDNER, of this county, a graduate of the "Star" office, who, with the energy peculiar to the craft, seems disposed to work his way to usefulness and distinction in one of the liberal professions, and, we may add, with fair prospects of success.— Tire catalogue speaks encouragingly of the effort to secure an endowment of the In atkution by the sale of Scholarships, which are said to be going off rapidly.

Thus, after so long a lapse of time, the . resolution of Congress adopted in 1783, to erect such a statue to the great Champion of American Independence then just consummated, is about to be carried intoeffect. We rejoice in it as an net of patriotic gratitude long and shamefully postponed. More Corruption The removing and rebuilding of the Mexico leek and sequeduet, which was lately up for letting, has been awarded to Col. S. E. 'knelt. one of the editors of the Miffitmown Register.

THE LADIES AND THE MAINE LAW.—There was a novel p base in legis lation at Albany, N. Y., on Friday. The Houso gave permission to a committee of females from the Women's State Temper. unce Convention to present, in person, a petition with some 28,000 names upon it, asking for the Maine or some other simi lar law. There were four composing the committee, who were conducted into the centre aisle of the Houso, by Gen. Bur roughs, one of whom, a Miss Clark, of Le Roy, stepped forward, and delivered a ve ry appropriate and neat address. THE PARDONING POWER.—A bill has been reported in the Pennsylvania Senate requiring the Governor, whenever he shall pardon any convict, to cause to be published as soon as practicable thereafter, once a week for two weeks, in,at least one newspaper printed in the county in which the penitentiary or jail in which such con• viot shall be °paned may be located,•orin which such accused person may reside, the reasons, if any,' vrliieh have IntluenCed him in granting such pardon, together with the names, if any, of such persons wife may have petitioned for the pardon granted.

Whig Governor les Males. 111CrThere is a queer state of political affairs in Maine, which has led to the.eleo lion of a Whig Governor for the ensuing year. Gov. Hubbard, the incumbent, no minated by the Looofoces for re-election, was in favor of the famous Maine Liquor Law, which was not so highly esteemed by some of his thirsty partisans, who, in the extremity of their drought, brought out one Chandler to oppose him, and bring a bout a repeal of the obnoxious statute.— The result was no election by the people, a clear majority being required, Hubbard leading the poll—Crosby (Whig,) next, and Chandler (wild-eat) third, with a free- Boiler still further in the roar. When the Legislature met, it turned out that the Whigs had a majority of the Senators elect ed-13 to 9—(for there were vacancies there too in consequence of the majority system,) while the looofooos—both stripes, rum and cold water—united, controlled the House. Tho question was whether rum and water would mix or not ; and it turned out, contrary to ordinary experi ence, that in Maine at least they would not. The House, in the first place, instead of filling up the Senate with the locofoco candidates before the people, took a drink of what is sometimes called 'half and half,' and chose four Whig and four locofoco Senators, thus leaving the former a major ity in the Senate. It WO then left for the House to select two of the candidates voted for by the people for Governor, of whom the Senate should select one. They I were in a tight place, for if they sent up the two locofocos, Hubbard and Chandler, tha . Whigs would be very likely to take the former, and that would not suit the ru mulles. at all. So they sent up ono of the locofocos and Crosby, Whig, whercup. on the Whig Senate very naturally elected Crosby—and so Wm. G. Crosby, Whig, becomes Governor of •laitie;frni the year ensuing by virtue of a difference of opinion among the Locefocos about the respective merits of ruin and water.—Fork Repub lican. Slate Teniperance Convention lita"The -Harrisburg "State Journal" says—"We learn that letters have been received by prominent Temperance men here, stating that Neal Dow, the 'Father of the Maine Law,' is expected to visit Harrisburg in the course of a few weeks, to address the people on the subject of Prohibition in this State. The friends of the cause coriteluplitte calling a Mass State Convention at Harrisburg to welcome Mr. Dow to the Capital of Pennsylvania, and also to adopt such measures as may be deemed necessary to unite and concentrate the efforts of the friends of Temperance, and secure the speedy enactment of a Pro hibitory law similar in its featur:s to that now in succegifill operation in several of the Eastern States. Judging from the movements throughout the State, WO are on the eve of an important and exciting Temperance Campaign. WirTwo murders Were perpetrated in New York on Monday last. In one in stance a wife was shot dead by her hus band, and in the other a husband who was beating his wife, was so severely used by spectators who interfered, as to die in con sequence of the injuries ho received. in. The sister of Gen. Pierce, (widow of the late Gen. Tohn McNeill,) for whose relief the House has just passed a special pension bill by an overwhelming majority, had been in vain pressing her claim on Congress for years' past—ever since the death of her distinguished husband. The good fortune of her brother, however, has happily influenced her fortunes also, and she gets her pension. 10.-A member of the New York Legis lature has introduced into that body a bill for the relief of husbands from debts con tracted by their wives. It should be so a mended as to prevent the rum-drinker from taking his wife's clothing to pay his rum bill.

Subjects of publie interest and impor. lance have been before both Houses of Congress during the last week. In the Senate, Mr. Cass' resolution reaffirming the Monroe doctrino relative to the Amer ican Continent has been up for considera tion, and elaborate speeches have been Matte upon it by Messrs. Cass, Butler. Hale and others. Much of the time of that body has been spent in Executive session, and the nomination of Mr. Badger,. of North Carolina, to the vacant seat on the Bench of the U. S. Supreme Court, is presumed to hare been the subject mostly considered. lie has not yet been confirmed. The Bill to make a Rail Road to California has also been up, and various propositions to vote money away have been broached- We observe that a bill has passed the Senate to give the widows of officers and soldiers who died in the Mexican War an additional live ytrars' pen sion to what they are entitled to. The Military Academy Appropriation Bill has also passed ; and, by a joint resolution they have authorized Mr. Clark Mills, [who has recently completed the Jackson equestrian statite,] to erect a similar one to Washington at the Capital. and have ap propriated $50,000 for that purpose. The House had various masters before it—good, bad and ditlerent. Among them was the old subject of establishing a Mint in New York City, and the "fight" there on was renewed by Messrs. Chandler, of Philadelphia, and Brooks, of New York others also took part in the debate.— Judging from a vole upon it, we think that Mr. Marshall's proposition to place HI, 000,000 of dollars at the disposal of the incoming Administration, so that we may he prepared for any war emergency, meets with little favor.

It took the magic of the last Presidential election to work a change among the members, good souls that they are !
