Prissmore WllllamsonTß Release
Irrcine of the most memorable aunt of
judicial oppression, one of the most gla
ring inittances of the wresting of the
law to purposes of injustice and tyranny,
was ,eoneluded on Baturday by the -re
kale of Ammon' Williemson. on 'the or
der of the same judge who flung him into
pnson.
if the incarceration of this innocent
mac, against all law and every shadow of
justice, proves that even under& democrat;
is system the private'citizen ie not secure
against arbitrary power and violent malice
on the part of magistrates, his release. as
the New liork Tribune justly' remarks,
equally demonstnites that under such a
system the force of public opinion is sure
at last to right the utmost wrong, and to
bumble the most bold hod reckless con
temner of justice and official duty.
On the 19th of Auguit Passmnre
liamson waiArouglit before Judge Kane,
by virtue of a writ'of habeas , coiling, com
manding him to produce she bodies of
Jane Johnson and her two sons.' alledged
slaves of John H. Wheeler, freed by the
act of their master, and taken' from the
latter'e keeping by the will of Jane her
self, who left him as Soon as she was in
formed by Mr. Williamson that she had
the legal right to do so. To this writ Mr.
Williamion made retbrn that the persons
required were not in his:custeay, and that
accordingly he could not produce them.—
For making this return, •
, Mr. Williamson
was shut up in Moyamensing prison on
ttio 27th of July. on the ground that it
was a false return, and as such conetunp-
Inoue toward the court. '
Since that time Mr. Williamson, and
his friends have .been iucenantly, engaged
in endeavors to extricate him from this no
.just and illegal confinement. As a-mat
ter of course, they 4ist . applied: to the
courts of Pennsylvania, whoa°, manifest
and primary duty iA3s.,lo, , protect the lib
erty'pf,her citizens against arbitrary and
tyrannous violence, from whatsoever quer
ter. The chief justice pusillaniteotiely re
fused to interfere; and then with great
expense and delay they resorted to the full
bench of justices, who again, after long
waiting, gave their notorious decision in
favor of Judge Kano end Ms right to shut
up men in jail without either law or
right.
Meanwhile the universal Andignation of
the country, expressed through every con-,
eeinble channel, had not _only; branded,
the,unjust judge with . stamp from which
hbi'reputation can never recover, but had•
been felt by him WI a burden too great to
be borne. Private suggestions were given
that any reasonable pretext would be a
dbpted for the ralese of Mr Williamson •;
and accordingly Jane Johnson's .iibtition
was, presented, but true as all its state
ments palpably were, and just as were aU
its demands, it was rather too strong to
be allowed. ..At the same time, however,
the court took occasion to open the door
for a different arrangrnent. Other 'pro
ceedings were had, till finally JudgetKane
proposed 'that Mr. Williamson himself
should appear- and take in/mediate steps
for his liberation. • Hereupon, willing to
adopt every means that should - not
promise thelruth or surrender a,
: priori-
Williamsohpetltionpd ,for. leave
to appear before'the court and purge him
self of that con:empi becatise of which he ,
was imprisoned.
'When this petition, was presented, the
districtettorneycontenaed that. the word
i‘legally" should be inserted, en is to
make Mr. Williamson admit dint ha' was
legally incarcerated, which,;of &terse, he
would never have done, But.so dosirous
was Juilge .4'ane of extricating himself
from the detestable position in which be
stood, that be overruled the and'
allowed the, petition tit pass'as it was.—,-
l'hen Williamsc:in Was. to Answer why
he, had not ; produced.. the bodies of Jane
,Indaon and her. children as regnired by
the original writ. To this 'interrogatory
his reply now was , s.Because lives
impossible" Here again the district at-
torney sought t 9 go, further and compel
him to answer whether he would have pro.
duced thou' had it been possible, 'but this
the Judge aleo excluded, and,upordlis an=
ewer: Icileased, the prisoner. . •
The oast then stands thus; Mr. William
son was adjudged „guilty of eontempt, of
court, and etas even dechired by the Judger
to be guilty of perjury. because he bad
made -oath that •Jane Jahnson sod" her
sons were not in his oustody,whprefore he
could" not produce'tbem•
,Vier being held io prison for Burl con
tempt for the period of three mobtha and
one week. he is at last "allowed,to .amend
his former answer' by making oath simply,
that be did not produce those pardons "Be
cause it Rad , impossibie to do so."-
With regard to the essential identify I
between' these' two inSiera, ' comment: is
needless
Had this eclatant act of repentance and
submission been sooner made, Judge Kabe
might have founded ,
npon it soma hope of
regaining some portion of those relics ,of
public esteem which may possibly have re
mained to him after his conduct in the
()lids:lane affair ; hut now it ornate' V
late, and is too evidently enforced by that
supreme , .
of
power public opinion to which
iven the most obstinate and audacious of
fender mast sooner or later bow.;' But the
iti effect of this matter is not confined . to
Judge Kane alone. It has deeply aboci,
ed the public confidence, in the administra
tion; ofjustico in general, and in the effies 7
cy ofour laws to secure the Most' aided
rights. To be a Judge oitCti - iitio
of : respect, but at this rate it, must soon
becoine thd contrary , People talk
iitis'a of radicals and destruotivaii who , sap
iha kutiditioni'of society , and undermin e
;
the basis of publio morals: . - but a .lidge•
like Kane does more at a single bloWk, to
shako the social fabiie and retard the
grew of a people than tho vices of priva\e
criminals in half a century.
In any other northern city than Ivl
delphia such an outrage as that which . , It;
more than the quarter of a year, Mr. Wil
liamson has been the victim, would have,
provoked public, disturbance. Certainly
there wail never an occasion in which a
revolutionary remedy would have seemed
more truly justifiable.' But the result, ai
it now stands, puts those in the right who
hold tbst violence should never be employ
ed even fora right end. Passmore
Hammon' comes from , his prison at the
peaceful 'flat of public opiubiu—released
by the justice of his cause and by the,,vol.;
tntary stibmiision of the tyrant, who im-•
niured him. . • .
The Pay ofLleut: Gem, Ikon.
The news a few days Since telegrapbect
over the country, from the City of ,Wash
loon?, with a great flourish of trumpets,
that,Lieut. Gen. Soott's slain:if& services
had been allowed, turns out to be a mbs..,
take. The shadow of justice has been all
warded, but the substance denied ; thou
word of pronsisekept to the ear. but ,broken
to the hope... The Attorney General has
fully decided in the General's favor *the
principle" of the law., The Secretary of
War, however, bad carefully reserved to
himself the interpretatiox and the adjust
ment, and has used the authority thus re
served to defeat the claim althost. entirely.

Quite a number of bodies have already been
renioved froiti other burial . places,. And a num

iron railings, and otherwise improved_ as the
taste and fancy of the owners Suggested. The
Messrs. Wan:teas of this place:, have prepared
some half a dozen patterns for railing which
they put up at very reasonable rates..—lower,
we believe, than they can be got from the . eities.
The Cemetery grounds attract a' good deal of
interest, and when the improvementa contem

been completed, it will be one of the most at
tractive spots in the neighborhood.

A Ron Road--Itu advantage to
Farmersi.
FAttupts t—ln your long evenings, after the
the day's toil is done, and the crowded crib of
yelloaVears crowns your labors, take up this
paper, which you no doubt get, once a week,
at your homes,' mid go over, for your awn ben
efit, some calculations, and wilt yourself as to
their - correctness. I know that farmer's are
not much given to making calculations ; it
would be much tatter for them if they were.—
They are getieraily-the last people, as a class,
to adopt any thing which is new, even if it has
the strongest recommendation for its accept
ance. There is as much improvement made
by some agriculturalists, in the mode of tilling
the soil, and there is probably as much room
for advancement still, as in all thevarious me
chanical inventions of the present day.
You are•about to have a railroad in Adams
count that is, if you will sufficiently see your
own interest . * tiiifflielp accordingly. Tire idea.
may seem to sortie 'preposterous, that you, and
you alone, could build a Railroad ; but let me
tell you, you'couftl build two or three, and fur
nish them all complete, and be , richer, with the
debtof the railroad ;upon you, the very day then
ware done, than you were at first. Railroads
are much better than common roads, because
they supply you with their wants cheaper, quick
er; and in greater quantities—and take your
products, from this Tact, at a better price to
market than you could otherwise have done.—
If, by the' arrival of a steamer front Europe.
'grain advances 10 or 20 cents per bushel, and.
you wish to avail yeelvea of this price, you.
have the opportunity` of seeding it off in one
day. If the common roads are impassible,
and yoo have , leisu're to haul a quantity of lime,
that, too, is 'at your. commend in one day's
notice, and much , cheaper than you could
before obtain The activity of life; of busi
ness, which always' attends the passage of a
Railroad thimigh a country, will insure the con
stant pale of various articles of farm produce,
Which could be (Reposed in small parcels to
market agents, who are always ready to buy
such things ,in Milting up their loads for
citymarkets. These entail matters,. each as
the ripening of .fruit and vegetables through
the summer andatitumn, which are not in suf
ficient quantities to** the expense of hauling
them far, Woubi . lit the aggregate amount to a
sum; in a year, that Would startle you at what
had been before your .ldee.
The single iteni of linie, if you saved 2 cents
per bushel,'iotild'not be less than $2O to al
most every farmer,' for a 'timber of years, un
til his gtoii. was so rig/013 to require no more.--
Suppose you had.'6oo inurbeht of grain of every
.
description (osell trix&year (and you will ad
• mit ;that this brarearsorrable estimate,) andwith
.
lesslauling Yon elionld get 6 cents per bush
el more than now ! Itrirr.worald be a saving of
$25--;-the . product A.the'dairy and vegetables
for market, I will say sls—which all together
makes' $6O, er 'the , interest on $1,000., Now,
all this cooklie r aised ors 150 acres, and would
•
'be the direst benefit the first year. Now, we
'will suppose that this benefit shouldatleast ex
tend to a listancekt 4 miles on either eider' of
:the railroad. . ; this would make a belt Of coup
try 8 milesbroad and 17 miles long to Hann.
ver--ffeel 175=136. square,miletr ; ' but in each
square mile.there are 646 acres:`: 640 64136'04
87,040aeres. Divided into fertnit'of 160 aces
each, we have froni Gettysburg toEsisterer 580
farms, which, as l'have shown abovir o irtinld be
benefited each, year the interest of $1,000.--
They could then (and be in th'e seine position
which they, now occupy, pecuniarily,) nine
$660;000. This would build one and a half
roads .ofthat length without doubt, in a first
elasirmanner.' But in addition to all this, your
lands would be actually increased in value,
aurlwould at any time eirinmand a ready sale
et much advanced prices: - We will suppose
that near the Road the lands be worth $lO an
'acre More, and that at .distance of 4 mica
they would be worth $4 maze—that would make
an average of $7 , increase in vabie, which snub
tiplied by 87;040 aould give $609,280. ,The

On the sth of October, he Transit
company's steamship, flan Carlos, was
fired into by, thii Government forces from
the fort at the junction of the San. Juan
river and Lake. Nicaragua. The steam
ship had en, board the passengers which

the Ban ' arlos. and also damaged the boat.
The passengers were subsequently

The harvest is over. The result is a
middling crop of rye—the most important
crop in Germany—and a good crop of
i wheat.-- The potatoes have generally done
well. Fruits are more abundant that; they
have been since the year 1847. There is
an immense supply of plume, pears, a.p
plea, Sts. Notwithstanding all this the
priers of bread rises higher from day lc
day,' and the poorer classes are suffering
so severely as to create rt fear of riots and
revolts, particularly toivards the end of
the coining
.winter. There have alma.
dy been premonitory symptoms in somi
of the cities, as, Mayence.and Menotti ,

sent from Hungary and Gallicia but as
the war hinders arrivals from the Black
Sea, the scarcity will become greater, per
haps, than last
.$ ear. America is now the
only country in the world capable of sup
plying the wants of Germany. Notwith
standing the necessities of the country, the
emigration to America is at a very low
rate. The war hal in a measure emptied
Franco, and even England partly, of young
men, and especially of those belonging to
the working classes.

of the existence of God, us the, Creator of all
things! and the giver Of "every good and per
gift," with an humble 'acknowledgement
of cur constant dependence upon the provi
dence,of Him "who rules the army or Heaven
and among the children of men,' is alike the
duty and the privilege of a free , and Chrietian
people: ,
"He has crowned the past year with hie
goodness and caused our paths to drop with
fatness." He has blessed our country with
peace.. The union of the States,. our free in
stitutions, our Civil and Religious privileges;
right of conscience and freedom of woiship,
have been continued and preserved. The
great interests • of Education, Morality and
Religion have been encouraged and promoted,
Science and Art advanced, Industry rewarded,
and, the moral and physical condition. of the
people improved.
The goodness of God has' signally blessed
our Comitionwealth : War with its desolations,
Famine and Pestilence with their horrors,
have not been permitted to come near us'; and
whilst the mvnges of disease and death have
afflicted the citizens of other States we hive
enjoyed the blessings of. health and unusual.
prosperity. The; Seasons, in their anoint
round, have come and gone, "Seed* time and
harvest" have notfailed, smiling plenty cheers
the husbandman ; and, surrounded by the
abundant fruits of Autumn, he rejoices in the
rich reward of his toil. "The pastures are
clothed with flocks, the valleys also are cover
ed over with corn, they shout for joy,' they
also sing."
.Acknowledging with grateful hearts these
manifold blessings of a beneficent Providence,
we should "offer unto God thanksgiving, and
pay our vows unto.the most High."
.Under the solemn conviction of the impor
tance and propriety of this duty, and in con
formity with the wishes of many good citizens,
