THE GUILLOTINE AT WORK.—
Postmaster Goner:id cAlipnEtz is still at
work binning up 4 Knoit Nothirgs," and
bringing the guillotine to work, wherever
suspicion attaches to ono of his subordin
ates. The latest instance that has come
under our notice, is the decapitation of
Dr. JOSEPH A. WOLF, Postmaster at
Wrightsville, who is charged with being
an American. Dr. Worm is a sock of
WILLIAM Worx, of East Berlin, and
while a resident of this county, was a prorii.
itient and influential Demourat, as is his
father—both of them having frequently
represented the Berlin district in our Dem
°dada County Conventions. Better or
worthier citizens we don't have in the
County.
SkirWe have recently had very unfa
vorable advices as to tho prospects of the
Wheat crop in the Western and Northern
sections of the county. With some ex
ceptions, the grain came up thin, and,
with the protracted drought and attack of
the fly, now looks exceedingly unpromir..
ing. We have heard of several instances
in which cattle have been turned into
grain fields, and of others whore the crop
' has - been offered for the value of the . reed,
- and declined. Grass is also suffering from
the protracted - drought, rendering the hay
prospects gloomy. Tho above remarks
hold good more particularly as to the
Western and Northern sections of the . ,
county. In other sections wo have 'un
derstood that the Wheat looks well, saving
hero and there a field damaged by the
On the other hand our farmers put out
this spring an unusually largo crop of
'Corn, which asset looks well. Should it
havo a tamable season, tho product will
go far towards making good any doficiency
in the grain.
P Our attention was drawn the other day
I to a lot of some five acres, belonging to Mr.
JOILY Gummi', to the north of the Bor
ough, which shows 'what good farming
can and will do. It is as handsome awl
promising a field of wheat as we have ever
seen, sufficiently advanced beyond serious
damage from drought or fly, and ought to
turn out full 25 bushels to the acre. Some
three or four years ago Mr. GILBERT
bought the abiive lot at $5O an acre, its
full, value at that limo. The crop of this
year alone bids fair to realize tho entire
original•cost of tho land, with a fair mar.
gin for cost of working. So much for
thorough farming. We have often thought
that our farmers generally make a grand
mistake in undertaking to manage ton
much soil. Thirty or forty acres melt
termed will pay better than ono hundred
acres half farmed. '
liCPThe anti-American journals have
been quoting liberally from the Lancaster
Examiner, hitherto a Whig journal of the
Old Hunker school, but which has recent
ly given evidence of its inclinations to
wards Locofecoistn, by bitterly assailing
the State Administration and the Ameri
can movement generally. The Harrisburg
Telegraph gives the key to the Examiner's
position, in the statement that the name
of the editor was before Gov.,PoLtocx as
a candidate for the post of Secretary of
State, and that the Governor did not see
fit to make Mr., DARLINGTON hip special
adviser: •

ii:2"Tho Virgil:at' Election seems to be
a perfect "God-send" to the anti-Ameri
can party. Judging from their extrava
gant exultation. over the election of Mr.
Win in a State which has, without flinch
ing, uniformly gone for the Democracy
since the re-organization of parties in
1801—a period•of fifty-four years—the in
foreclose is fair that they regard the Amer
ican movement an inviticiltle one. Either
that, or their present jubilant manifesta
tions are to be regarded , as mere "tricks of
trade," designed to revive the drooping
spirits of their followers, and rescuscitate, if
possible, the prostrate carcass of Locofoco
ism. An oligarchy of Riohmond -politi
cians have ruled Virginia as with a rod of
iron for the last, half century, 'even the
storm of popular enthUsiasm is the Har- I
risen campaign of 1840 not• being able to
swing the Old Dominion from her stead
fast moorings. As often as danger threat
ened, all that was deemed necessary to
keep things straight in Virginia, was for
the Richmond Junto to issue their edict or
dering the thumb-screws and other ma
chinery of partizan organization to be
worked more tightly ; and under the viva
voce system, that compelled the voting
musses to go to • the polls and publicly
record their' obedience to their political
masters, the Junto have uniformly come
off victorious. At the recent election this
political machinery was worked more ac
tively than over. The stately march of
ilmericaninn over the land—its signal
triumphs among the fastnesses of New
Englind being but tho echo of previous
unparalleled achievments in the Middle
and Western Statee—had evidently struck
`terror and disappointment into the hearts
of tho demagogues who now load the anti-
American crusade. Everything seemed
to yield to the advancing forces of the
mysterious "Sam"—New Hampshire giv
ing evidence that even the hitherto im
pregnable fortresses of Locofoeoism wire
not proof against his assaults. Under
these circumstances the Virginia election
approached. Beaten at almost every
point, the anti-American party here de
termined to make their last stand, relying
upon the well-tried fidelity of the Democ
racy of Virginia to the behests of her long
acknowledged political masters, to stay the
tide of disaster. The most gifted and suc
cessful declaimer in their ranks—a rene
gade Whig, but man of brilliant genius—
ems selected to (=piss the State and bear
with him the party standard. Thethunab
4rews of party discipline were put to work,
the entire force of the General and State
Governments being brought to bear in ap
ifying the requisite degree of pressure.—
The viva wee system contributed powerful
ly to make this'systein of operations effective,
•and the result is—what ? Why, the elec
tion of Mr. ,Wisp by a handsothely !edu
ced majority; aomparod with theilast

jubilations. They remind us :nue!' (bor
rowing the suggestion of a friend) of a
party of little boys, who, after fishing all
day along the banks of a stream, with
scarcely a nibble to relieve their disap
pointment, at length succeeded in dipping
a single s.un-fish from a pool that had never
failed to furnish a similar specimen—and
immediately, in the simplicity of childish
joy, returned to their homes, more than
satisfied with the consoling idea of having
caught at least something—though it was
a sun-fish ; and that, too, from a pool
which had -never before failed to reward
the angler with similar trophies of his
toils 1
But seriously—we do not know that
there is much occasion to regret that the
Virginia election has resulted as it did.—
Under the peculiar influences to which
we have alluded a differCnt result could
not reasonably have been -expected. A
mericanism is of scarcely more than a
year's growth. It has already achieved
wonders—wonders unparalleled in the his
tory of political . organizations. Its great
est darter ovidintly lay in its too rapidly
augmenting strength, while yot it has
scarcely emerged from its chrysalis being.
It needs a careful development in taking
its place as ono of the permanent parties
of the country. Uninterrupted triumph
is not always the best political school.—
Adversity is necessary to chasten the as
pirations and suggestions of enthusiasm.—
The revertfo in Virginia will thus subserve
cause of Americanism and do it good.
“Place none but Americans on

ItCrThe paternity of,this sentiment, at

OtrORESTEB A. BROWNSON, the noted
editor of the Boston Catholio . Review,
`who recently announced his Church ortho
doxy, by affirming not only that his Re
view is published under the authority and
approedt of tho Bishop of that diocese, but
that he writes nothing . and publishes noth
ing on theological &introverted topics that
does not first undergo the supervision of the
Bishop or his special agent, utterly repu
diates the view, maintained by Mr.
Chandler in regard to the temporal power
of the Pope. In a recent lecture at Now
'Orleans he used very strong language in
discussing "oho Mission of the Catholio
Church in the United States." After de
nouncing the Protestant Church as false in
theory and anti-Christ, and unfitted to
control the action of the State, and direct
the conduct of the individual, ho insisted
that this was the mission and office of tbe•
Catholic Church, the only true Oh**
recognized of God. Speaking of that
church he says :
f.lt must become the arbiter between
the state and the subject. It must guard
the man, by interposing the flaming sword
as a defence. 11 mat construe consti
tutions and expound laws, dooidingwhere
is the limit of centralized power and what
is its absolute•duty to perform.
"For the individual it must decide what
is the 'higher law,' giving licenses to o
bey one civil requirement and declaring
it sinful to resist another."
We take this to be a clear, bold, and
explicit enunciation of the right of the
Pope, (who represents the Church, and to
whom the Church is subordinate,) to in
terfere in , governmental politics—in other
words, to exercise temporal power by,inter-•
faring between government and the sub
ject. However this may be, it is very cer
tain that Mr. BROIVHSON maintains pre
cisely the same ground occupied by the
Popes in centuries past, when they dethron
ed 'refractory Princes and Emperors at
pleasure, and now occupied by the present
Pontiff in denouncing his anathemas against
the refractory Legislatures of the Dahill
States.

"We are engaged in a great struggle.—
The question involved in that struggle

in which we are now engaged. There are
arrayed upon ono side of that mighty con
test two great oations—(hear. hear) upon
the other stands a gigantic and colossal
power ; and the issue of the struggle be

minute arrangement. Upon that issue it
depends whether England and France shall
continue to hold among the kingdoms of

occupy--(hear, hear,)--whether they
shall sink down to the condition of inferior

KrThe Expenditures of the national
Government have become enormous.—
There have been appropriated for the sev
eral Departments, this year, a sum forming
a grand total of about 875,000,000. John
Quincy Adams was accused of eXtravagance
in his day, but under his administration
the expenditures only reached about four

Virginia Election.
• r:rThe contest in Virginia has result..
ed RI the election of Mr. Wree. the Dem
°emetic candidate for Governor, by about
10,000 majority over FLOURNM Ameri
can. The• returns are somewhat conflict
ing, but his majority will not be varied es
sentially from that figure by complete .re:
turns. The Whigs had no candidate, and
a large number, it is said, voted for Mr.
WISE. The entire Democratic delegation in
the last Congress is thought to be elected,
as also &Democratic majority to the Le
gislature. Gen. Pierce carried the State
in 1852 by 15,281 majority, showing a
Democratic loss of some 5,000. The heav
iest American gains were io the central
and eastern comities. The Western coun

KANSAS.—The condition of that Ter
itory, is, from all accounts, deplorable. It
appears that a secret society has been form
ed there, and that members are pleciged,
not only to act in concert, but to share e
qually the plunder or property that .nay
be obtained by the agency of the combin
ation. When a man is proscribed, be is
often ruined without knowing the cause.
In this manner, whole communities are
overawed. A writer even asserts that
times there are worse than "they were
In Franca in the days of Ilobz.spierre.'—
It seems that the National Administration
is too imbecile, or too indifferent, to de
vise measures for the American citizens ir.
that quarter, as nothing so far has been
done to check the outrages which are so
'frequent in Kansas.
FRUITS AT NORFOLK.—On Satur
day, 40 bushels of cherries, 1,300 baskets
of strawberries, and 100 barrels of peas
were shipped from Norfolk to Now York.
The price of cherries at the former city is
$3 75 per bushel, and of peas $3 per bbl.
The cherries were of a moderate size and
unripe. The• Norfolk Argun says the late
rains hsve improved every thing in that
vicinity. The peach and pear crops will
bo large, and the fig trees are well filled,
although somewhat injured by cold wea
ther.
THE CROPS IN ENGLAND.—Pri
vate letters by the'lale steamer state that
a favorable change has taken place in the
weather. Copious rains have fallen, of
timely" service to the farmers, who had
been troubled for some weeks with a
drought, and a selreity of fodder, which
caused much mortality among the sheep
and the lambs. The favorable change in
the weather has checked the previous ad
vancing tendency of the market for wheat
and flour.

Baltimore.
One .of . the most destructive fires
that has occurred in Baltimore- for a
number of years past, broke out on
Saturday evening
. last, between 59V011
and eight o'clock, at which time the
bells sounded en alarm and the firemen
promptly repaired to the scone of dis
aster, but were unable, in consequence
of the great headway the fire had gained to
subdue it, until four largo warehouses,
together with their contents, had fallen a
prey, and several others with the stock itt
them, considerably damaged.
The fire originated in the cellar of tho
wholesale clothing warehouse of .Messrs.

one door east of Howard. These gentle.
men closed their stores as usual in the even

afterwards it was perceived that the cellar
had been fired in'several places. Some of

I to their closing the store, and applied the
torch. There being a large amount of in-
Iflammable goods stored in !he cellar, the fire
rapidly ascended from story-to story. con
suming everything as it went, until it
showed itself above the roof. There was
not even the vestige of a raiment recover
ed, and a very scant portion of the walls
left standiug, and that which was left is in
a tottering condition and must fall.—
These gentlemen estimate their loss at
from 525,000 to $30,000. Insured for
$20,000.
The flames next communicated to the
house occupied by Messrs. De vries, Steph

merchants, on the corner of Ita!tonore
and Howard Streets. The building was
burnt to the ground, and their large surd:
of goods, with the exception of about 53,-
000 worth saved, was destroyed. Loss
from 35,000 to 40,000. Insured for $30,-
800.
The house to the east of the one where
in the fire originated, occupied on the first
floor by Messrs. Norris, Caldwell & Co.,
wholesale grocers. and Mr J. Travener,
saddle and harness maker, and on the see.
and and third floors by Mr. Theodore S.

DESPRRApi OUTRAGE AND MU naa IN
Der.AwAtte.—George Parker, a negro des
pante character, living rear Dover, Del
aware, got into a quarrel, on Wednesday
last, with his wife, who was sick. rind be
came so enraged that hsseiaed a gun and
fired at her horse, ehattaing her arm dread
(ay. Several white men,who hurried to
the house, were compelled to retreat to
the woods to save their lives, as he at
tacked them with savage ferocity. His
subsequent conduct is (hue related by the
Raiford Beacon:
"The negro, not being satisfied with
his evening's exploit, proceetle3 after
night to the house of Mr.' George Slaugh
ter, in, the same neighborhood, knocked at
the door, and, on its being opened by
Mr. Slaughter himself, he raised hip gun
to fire, and that gentleman only escaped
with his life by slamming the door to in his
face and fastening it. The desperado be
ing thus dispointed, and a thirst for blood
still raging in his heart, went to his own
dwelling and set it on fire, the light of
which drew some of the neighbors to the
scene; but, before any assistance could
be rendered, he had actually cut the
throats of two of his children, one of
whom he thrdw into the fire, where it
was consumed, and the other he threw
into the yard. By this time a posse of
men arrived from Dover to arrest the ne
gro, who still held possession of the gun
and ammunition, and, after firing several
ineffectual shots at him, the villain, taking
his turn, also fired, het without affect ;
one of the party, taking advantage of
the opportunity, while the negro's gun
was unloaded, advanced within a few paces
of him and fired, nearly the whole charge
taking effect in the negro's face and fore
head, but' without bringing him to the
ground, merely steggering him for the mo
ment. He was, however, felled to the
ground, secured, and taken to jail."
