The .debato .was• continued up to the hour,of adjournment. U. S. Senator k -- rOn Monday last thst two branches of the. Legislature met in joint convention to elect a United States Senator, in place of Mr. COOPER. Ex-Governor ,Tixor.in. was elected on the first ballot, receiving 82 votes to 48 for Hon. H.l. Monate, a member- of the House from Philadelphia. The latter was the candidate of the Amer. jean ma Republican members, and reedy- , ed their entire vote. The Americans. emit Republicans hold a comma on Saturday evening previous, and after uniting upon Mr. 3101111113 as their candidate, unanimous. , ly adopted the foll Owing resolutions : Resolved, That we are opposed to the ad-, mission of any more Sloo.States into , the Ifni& ; theretbre _ L Resolved, Thatlamins and NehraaltashdrOd only be admitted into the sisterhood as Free States.

The antiamerican caucus had a rough time of it. Gov. BIGLER succeeded in getting the nomination only on the 16th ballot after a bard stryggle, he himself being on the ground 'and personally la- Oortuning membe;s for their support.— The 16th ballot stood Bigler 43, Bucka low 11, Foster 18, Jones 7, Robbins 3-- necessary to a choice 42. Tho'caucup pre vious to the balloting, had adopted it res olution pledging thesupport of all present to' the nowinee---thus heading 'off all chances for mutiny. Bigler belongs to the Campbell faction of the Democracy, and was warmly supported by that entire interest; The Harrisburg Telegraph thus adverts to his election : "The election of Gov. Bigler is not his own triumph; It is a victory of the same desperate politicians who forced Postmas ter General Campbell upon the Democratic ticket in 1851—the same men who, when rebuked by the people. again forced him into . Governor Biglor's Cabinet in 1852, and the same men who again forced him into the most important Cabinet position, in a political point of view, under Presi dam Pierce. '[he party had ~rtrvoltad at each step thus taken to fore,' a man into power against their Wlil , and the stroke of that vengeance fell upon Governor Bigler in 185.1, - as it fell upon Judge Campbell in 1851. Still defiant, however, the pro gramme is played steadily toward comple tion, whenever the voice of the people can be stultified by a Legislature or an Execu tive. So Gov. Bigler goes to Washington, owing his place.not to the fairly expressed wishes of the Democracy, but to President Pierce, Postmaster General Campbell ; and their engines of political warfare." 0::71ho "Pennsylvania Telegraph" under the control of Mews.

Ilicttaansort replied in these inter rogatories by remarking that in voting for the Kanin-Nobraska bill; he intended the !people of the territories to decide' the gees lion of slavery 'themselves, and he Would admit them as States with or without sla., very. Ho bad said that slavery would not go iberit, - but he cover urged that as a rea son why he voted for Alio bill. As to the constitutionality of the Wilmot proviso, he voted for tha-sprinciple applicable to the Mexican acquisition,: in a spirit , of cotnpro miss. but it ivoql be unjust to incorporate it in a' terrOrial bill. In hls, judgment, the i tienstitution does , not carry slavery into the territories, l i,bat it protoots both sec dons of the country alike. Mr. emote was then called out, add the members dret np their chairs arouneririm. Ho did not feel' obliged, he said; to answer the questions. He had not - solicited the stipport.of any. lie said of his friends as Othello said of 'his wife, "They had eyes and they chose' me." Ho distinctly re marked that he (lid not regard the Kansa s bill as. promotive of the fortnriion of Free States. •He believed in the constitutionali ty of the Wilmot Provisp ; but did not be Here that the • Constittition carries slavery into the, territories. He recognized the right ofjhe protection of rroporty at the North artirSouth alike—bur not property in man. lie believed the constitution an instrument of freedom, and Congress wrong in repealing the Missintri Compromise.— [Applause from the Ifepublieans, and con fusion, with cries for Mr. Fuller.] Mr. FULLER said he was ready at any time to retire groin the field of protracted contest. lie did not regard the Kansas bill as promotive either of free or slave States, and had never advocated the cAnsti• tutionallty of the Wilmot Proviso. Slave ry exists independently of the constitution. Congress, therefore, had no right to legis late slavery ipso. or out of the territories, and only the right to legislate so far as to protect the citizens in the enjoyment of their property. . Mr. PxsortNaroN was then called for loudly lie said he had no idea so obscure and unpromising a candidate as himself would bo required to define his position. Ho wa.loutaide,Of the triangle.

It was of no consequence what were the individual opinions of the presiding officer. . Mr. BAltmaruze followed with a set of interrogatories as to whether the candida -1 t es were members of the Know-Nothing ' party ; also seeking light as to their views in yegard to the abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia—the equality of the white and black races—a modification of the Tariff, &o. Mr. RICHARDSON replied that he was not a member of the Know Nothing organ ization—:that he was not in favor of abol ishing Slavery in the District of Columbia —that be did not wish to promote the e quality of the black and white races by le gislation—that he was not in favor of the exclusion of naturalized citizens and oath°. lice from offee—and that ho was in favor of a modification of the tariff. Mr. BANKS replied that ho was nomina ted by Democrats and Americans, and by them elected ; as to the Tariff, he referred to the record of last year; and on equality of races, he stood by the Declaration of In dependenco, with the addition that ho be lieved that the stronger race would absorb the . weake.r. The other questions were subordinate, to that prohibiting Slavery in Kansaij ho would unite with all to inter dict Slavery in the Territories. Mr. Fur, radt said he was not in favor of the Missouri Compromise; he was opposed to the aboliiion of Slavery in the District of Columbia ; he did not believe in the equality of the mbite and bleak races ; preferred native born citizens for office; he would proscribe no man for his ~religious opinions ; he would invite rather than re pel foreigners,_ tint in all things pertaining to legi elation, he world have America gov erned by Americans.

GENTrAstxlv :—Your Board of Direc tors, according to the requirement/. of the Law, beg leave k to submit the following brief statemeprOf the coddition of the Company and its management during the past year. To those who co-operated with tie In the arduous and vexatious tsak of se curing stook subscriptions we return our Allure thanks. And as it is an enterprise of so general interest, and one which in volves in its success the' future welfare of the county, we regret that there were some persons to be found in the eons amok.), who Would not lend a helping hand. After excessive and indefatigable labor wo have succeeded in raising the requisite .amount of stock to justify us in contract ing for the building of the Road. We have flied upon three points for the routs of the roac;---the starting point, at the un Pnished work of the Gettysburg extension of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at the grade of said road at Carlisle street, in , the Bor ough of Gettysburg—thence East, by the most practicable route,' through the town of New Oxford, so as to out the town lots, and thence to Hanover, to intersect the Hanover Branch Railroad. The length of the Road is limited, so as not to exceed the length of the line surveyed by Mr. Haupt's corps of engineers, which was seventeen and one-seventh miles. This route, although longs& than the direct route to Hanover, will only oust the excess of the iron required to lay the difference in the distance of the two routes—the gra ding on the direct route being more expen sive per mile on an average, than via Oxford. The advantages of adopting the latter route are that it will accommodate a larger portion of our County, secure a bout 820,000 more of stock subscription, and, above all other considerations. is 10 miles on a direct line to York, with which latter place a railway connection is very &mirage. IVe have, in the selection of this route, thus kept in view the future interests of the Company—the probability of 'ultimately extending the road to York —without in the least sacrificing its pros- ent interests, but in reality increasing its means to build the road. A proposition was made, during the fall, by Messrs. Intvirt & TAYLOR., to perform the work, of gradation of the; road, by the route adopted, for the sum of $105,000, of which sum $20,000 would be taken in stock of the Company. , After mature deliberation, and atter giving ;to the public the benefit of the proposal.l so as to awaken a competition among bid dert, the Board ultimately closed a contract, I with Messrs. Irwin & Taylor on the terms proposed. The work of gradation is to be completed, under the supervision, if desi red, of ttie Company's own Engineer, with in the period of 18 months. The Board agree to pay them monthly, according to' the estimates of work performed, which 1 payments aro not to exceed *5,000 per' month, and retaining 15 per cent of the cash and 15 per cent of the stock pay- I meets, as a security for the completion of the work. But should the Board be ena bled to call in their payments more rapid. , ly than specified in the conditions of: subscriptions, the work is to go on proj portiotitdly faster. And in order to effect! the more speedy completion of the Road, the Board recommend.. that inducements shall be offered to stockholders to pay in their stock in a much shorter time than le gally required, by allowing a discount on stock thus paid. Subsequently, a proposal was made by the same party to furnish the iron and lay the track 'of the Road, at a price to be reg. slated by the cost of iron at the time it is purchased, which proposal has been ac cepted by the Board and the contract thus virtually completed—the signing of it hav ing been deferred on account of the ab sence of ono of the parties to the contract. As soon as it is sealed its specific terms, it is intended, will be made known by the next Board of Direetors. The amount of stook subscribed is $130,200, nearly all of which is available. But the Company must sell more stook in order to complete the superstructure,' or, on a failure to sell a sufficient amdunt of stook, secure a loan of money. They have a promise of $5OOO mare of stock subscrip tion,-dependent on a very probable con. , tangency, and it is confidently hoped that the sale of stock in the County will still continue:, The laud holders along the proposed line of the Road have been generally liberal in releasing the right of way, and Tjth a few persons who are still extravagant in their demands there is still a prospeet of effect g a satisfactory compromise. Part of the Road will pass through awe-, tion of country abounding in rich quarries of limestone, the transportation of which to the country along the western end of the Road, will Make:it a source of profit to the. Company,. while the superior quid ity of Granite Rock in the vicinity of Get. tysburg will furnish another lucrative trade for the Itoad. • Your President and Directors have al lowed themselves no recompense what ever for the time and money expended in securing stock, and the reponsibility and consequent anxiety of mind attendant . up on their fi duciary capacity. Consequent ly the Company have been at no expense during the lastyear. All that the retiring Board4alt as a recompense at your hands, is your hearty approval . of their acts in their attempt at a faithful and conicien siotis discharge of duty in their official re-I Wilms toward you. MEM The trust Is no pleasant one. Bicker ing' and wife have been engendered by conflicting interests in reference to the western terminus of the Road.- Paying due deference to the public will, and with an eye single to the present. and Swore interests of the Company, unbiased by any ascii( nal prejudices or feelings, we have fixed the western terminus for the irada. tion of the Road at the commencement of the unfinished work of the Gettysburg Extensional Carlisle street. This should and will satisfy all reasonable Parties (in interest,) and promote the. true Inter ests of the Company. . $ The prospects for the entire trample lion of the Road within 18 months are verj flattering. A great and responsible task devolves upon the Board about to be elected, and if the plane which have been commenced arc faithfully and impartially executed during the ensuing year, success may safely he predicted. Without judi cious, skillrul, and economical matiage ment, the progress of the work will be greatly retarded. Weara mo et ardent in our hopes, and re commend to all the friends of the Enter prise a concert of action, and a speedy completion of the work will crown their efforts. ROBERT M'CURDY, Pres't.

AFTER many years of lqborions , research and experiment, I hay the gratification to announce to those of the p MO who May:be afflicted with'baldness or pre titura grey` hair, p li that I have succeeded in the preparation .of an article that is an infallible remedy for either of these disorders: For a' considerable length of time I have been in the habit of using it up• on myown customers, and in no instance has it failed to reader the most , entire satisfaction. Having . long entertained the belief that, in a vast majority of eases; Baldness and prema ture grayness were induced by disease, or want of viger.and `vitality of the scalp,. rather than being the necessary consequence of mere as i cumulation of years. • . My whole attention was directed to the dis covery of some preparation, which, by remov ing the dandruff and other foreign matter which; in spite of the utmost precaution,' will collect upon the scalp, would restore to this part all its vigor tuid vitality,. and thus remove the great cause of both, these diseases. In offering this preparatieu,to the public, I have full.confidence that it will , not disappoint the expectatiOns of many who may feel inclined to give it a fair and iinpartial trail. It more ef fectually, than any other preparation, removes the dandruff and cleanses the head, thus re- moving all obstacles to the growth of a new and luxuriant crop a hair. For the prema• tune grey, it reatores to the hair. the free circu lation of its natural fluid, and, in an almost in• credibly short time, brings to it its. natural healthfulness and color. Although this prep, iration has never been brougbefore the public through the medium of adve *lifigi yet' h.t. by its own Inherent virtues, it haw n Its way into favor in many of the counties of this and neighboring, States. At the, solicitation of many of my Mends and" patrons who,have. been benefittedly it, I have been, induced to give it to the public; and hi doing:this; I do it with the confident dasurance that any wheinay try it, will find it to possess all the merit` Claim , odfor it' , In case of partial baldimai when ::used a. greeably to 'directions, this,Restorative has not failed, in a single instance ' to produce a luxu riant growth of the natural hair. • • rp the hands of mothers and nurses, it is a capital ouration for all those diseases of the scalp incident to infant children. • In fine, an a toilet article, it should be in the hands of all who wish to expel the $ ndvutif, . preserve the lair, prevent it from f g off, and render it soft, glossy and wavy. • lifir•Prepared and sold, wholesali3 anO retail, by ItfcCRACKEN; (second door to the 'nion Botel,) Shippensburg, Cumberlind county, Pennsylvania. , CERTIFICATES Sat i ..A few of the innumerable certificates in the possession of the proprietor, showing, the virtues of this remedy, are annexed, and must satisfy the moat skei.tical : . • • Selenagroc, Union Co:,, Pa.
