BANK_ DIRECTORS.—On. Monday last .
the following gentlemen were elected Directors
of the . Bank of Gettysburg : 71 George'Sirope,

Dr. D. Homer, D. Wills, Henri Myers; Wm:
Gardner, Lewis Metter, Alex. S.' Hines, Wm.

The aoWl3'oard will meet on Itiondiy next
and oigaeize. They will doubtless re-elect
the present officers—President, George Swope;
Cashier, John B. McPherson ; Teller, John
H. McClellan. Mr. Swope bas,been the Pre&
ident of the Bank since the fall of 1849. Mr.
McPherson has heen the
,Cashier since the
Bank commenced operations in May, 1814--a
period of 41 years. We doubt whether the
same can be said of any other Cashie r in the
Union. Mr. McClellan has been Teller since
1834. The Institution has had a long and
prosperous esistence, and was never in a
sounder condition thaw at present. Its stock
commands a considerable premium in the
market.

remarks, how many there are, who think they

was for a long time regarded common proper
ty, being used upon the celebrations of nation

years, however, it had been exclusively appro
priated by the Democracy, and assisted in pro
claiming their political triumphs from the e•
!action of Porter in 1848 doirn to our last
State election. It was intended to bring it out
in honor of the anticipated Foreign triumph
in Maryland—but that was no go. The Yen
entble old field-piece seemed to be quite will
ing to "speak" for the Democracy in days
gone by, but didn't like the idea of being used
in the service of Anti-Americanism, and so
gave up the ghost—e premonition of the fate

May we not indulge the pleasing thotight,that
the time is not far distant, when the gloomy
reign of indolence will pass away, when our
county-will "defitie her position," sited nobly
sustain it Yea, that time is now bere, and
with it, the neeessitj to shake off our despots
dency and apprehenaion, and start iti'the rare
for fortune and renown—to wipe out, the blot
ted page of the past, and hasten to enjoy the
ftiture. The opportunity for this is here—the
door is open, and the beautiful structures, ba
sed upon energy, prudence, foresight, and e
conomy, are brightly shown within. To us
the Railroad project is of impertatece bSyond
measure : its Accomplishment would be the
first buckling on ofour armor—our first full step
on the pathway of State prosperity. No won
der, then, the friends of the measure are so in
tensely solicitous for its completion—no won
der, then, the Board of Directors are bending
to wholesome action their every energy—are
striving to change the poor, feeLle, and drivel
ling condition of the county to one from which
she may proudly march on the highway of pro
gression and prosperity. Citizens of Adams
county, why slumber ye, then, h, the way-side ?
Know ye not that it is a weaknessahnost crim
inal to urge excuses for the nun-performance
of imperative duties ? You have a land of •
which you can be justly proud ? You
have the homes - of your sires, to • which
Jou are affectionately endeared. Oh trans
mit there, to your posterity, with all the advan
tages the improvements- of the age bestow—
encircled and engirded by a mouiunin range,
across which the breath of pestilence does not
come ; and beautifully spread out before you,
as a panorama, are the gentle undulations of
your tillable lands, dotted, here and there, with
elevations of mineral wealth, rich evidences of
the divinity of God's benevolence : and iet you
lie supinely by—you arouse not the vigor of
your manhood, to break the shackels which
chill and cramp your energies. The counties
around you, and sisters to your own, e're . tbr,
;eery far beyond you in their means of cloches
tic intercommunication—the canal, the rail
way, and the telegruph, are constantly subser
ving the interests of the people, and' there the
legitimate and busy employment of capital
meets its reward—there, energy is encouraged,
talent is fostered and protected, and not forc
ed to pass beyond their borders to find a thea
tre for its display. Have those counties suf
fered from the erection of these works ? Dore
trade languish and droop there ? Do the me.-
ral and intellectual condition of their citizens
retrograde ? Do their citizens represent the
outlay of capital in the completion nflthose
works, as useless or injudicious? Thnt such
is the case will only be asserted by him who
would stop the tide .of public prosperity, and
turn it to the channel of his own wretched e
molument. If I am rightly advised. $15,000
only are yet yantedin order to close n contract
for making our Road, and the Board of Dime
tors are using every means within their power
to obtain that timonnt of additional stock sub
scriptions. We bid them Ood speed. May
success crown their efforts, and the memory of
him who would raise let or hinder:ince to the
enterprise be enshrouded in eternal infamy.
Citizens of Adams county, will you, when
this mere pittance of $15,000 is neeeed—when
the boon is within you grasp—fail to reach,
it, and show to the world, either thatyon are
too poor to accomplish this enterprise, or too
deeply sunken in the depth of apathy to have
a just appreciation of the prosperous condition
of your' neighbors, or of that to which you
might easily attain ? Too poor you are not.
Your assessed valuation of $5,000,000 , repudi
ates the idea. Apathetic you hare been, and
the time is now here to tell whether you will re
main so. Oh, if you are patriots, rise up—ar.

further adds : • • • • ' •
"It is abundantly manifest that in both
countries there exists in the minds as well
of governmeot as of people a right appre
ciation of the value of mutal peace to
each, with a correspondent determination
not to let go its advantages for secondary
or inadequate causes.
"It is true that one most important ques-
tion is the subject of earnest discussion
between the two governments, namely the

though there is a very serious difference
of opinion between them on some point.,
yet that difference? is a matter belonging
altogether to the domain of negotiation."
A CRUCIFIXION IN CHINA.—AII Amer
can, writing from China to the New York
Times, after giving an aceountof the num
erous executions of the rebels, says:
Fwo weeks since, to vary the scene,
they had a crucifixion. A woman was
sentenced to be crucified for the crime of
having given birth to one of the rebel
chiefs. If a father is a rebel, hie family
iv considered the 'erne, and the whole
family, from the old mar. of four-score to
the child of four yeart, share the saint fate.
The poor woman was nailed to the cross
while living, a gash made across the fore
head to the bone, and the skin pealed
down so as to hang over her eyes ; after
which the breasts were cut off ; they then
proceeded to break every bone in her body;
■ large knife was then thrust into the
throat and passed downward, cutting the
chest open. The executioner then
thrust in his hand, and grasping the heart,
tore it from its socket, and laid it beating
and reeking before the judge. At Shang
hai, they drown them by dozens.
