SOME CHAT ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.

similar, we coufess, are our feelings, at the
end of one month, in perusing divers public
verdicts upon the addition or-Lsioa Chi jitt

much amusement to observe how toriirf have
been those comments how erroneous the as
sertions of some and how diametrically op
pntile are the judgments different editors have
pronounced on the same point. We might
perhaps attribute not the most liberal feelings
to some, who stand as rivals; but we prefer
to let such scrutiny of motive pass, and to let
cur readers enjoy, with ourselves, a dozen of
the notices worst and best that lie before
us. E. g.:

A little hasty, Messrs. IJitt & Bowta.
Can anything be more appropriate for the
name of the oldest paper in a county.honor
ed with its official publication, and enjoying
much the widest circulation it it, than that of
(he county itself! Instead of being merely a
local sheet, circulating almost exclusively in
one neighborhood, and completely overshad
owed by half a dozen older papers in the cen
ter which circulated in every quarter, the
CaaomcLS has become the best sustained and
official paper of the county, and is issued from
he seal of justice itself. Obviously, to shut
ourselves up against our own county, and go
abroad to the world as only a town paper,
when our patronage extends over lne whole
county, would be ungrateful, would be folly,
and a "gross misnomer." There are good
reasons for retaining our old title and name
of town. There is a "Lewisburg Chronicle"
in Virginia, which has troubled us somewhat.
and there are divers Lewisburg towns and
Union counties : oth the names fix our loca
tion definitely, are appropriate, aud we are
sure in no sense "misnomers." This is an
age of expansion and progress, fn which we
desire to participate. Would the I'rest have

t write for and to reap in ? As to the "Gen.
Jackson" supposition, we modestly decline
hazarding an opinion, as il is hardly relevant
to the subject!
The XiUionaJ Vedette, of Jersey Shore, says :
"The editors of the Lew it-burg f AronicJV seem dipnfl

We hope the Editor is usually more accu

more careful as a Vedette, Gen. Washington
never would have said of him. "Put none but

The intense question as to Mr. Obwig's
right to sell the .Vur, is easily answered : he
was the sole, bona 6de, legal, undisputed, and
undoubted owner and proprietor of it, and as
such had the exclusive right to use or not to
use and to dispose of it, and he did formally
and legally make it over to us as our property
at our cost and risk. The material on which

The various Star owners did, to our know

We alwayt find something in the Uazette to
smile over, and are happy to have returned
someibing of the same healthy and cheering
nature. Renewed in our youth also by a
stroke of friend Voi-stonss's pen, we yet
hardly know how to credit his decision that
we are "rather slavish." Too much indepen
dence in all things, is generally attributed to
us by our best supporters. All sorts of sla

LEWISBURG, UNION CO., FA., FRIDAY,
Putting on airs fur its age, is one of the annual
accomplishme nlsof that paper. It every week
parades the fact, " Eitablirhed by den. Henry
Frick, in 1S16." The. card on its business
envelopes claims for it the fame of "the
largest,oVA-,and best circulated paper" in its

This fixes the issue of the Miltonian two
years and a half after that of the Union. But
we cheerfully bear testimony to the fact, that,
for 43 years, the former paper has been issued
with much regularity, and has lived well up
tolls Prospectus. Locally it has been a use
ful and faithful journal, through all changes
of party, and has not often been allowed to be
an organ of abuse and vituperation. Politi
cally, it tlill believes in the Declaration of In
dependence. It has most of the time been in
the family of its founder. It has only once
changed its name to our knowledge. The
WeeJily Miltonian it was which abused Lewis
burg and its people as vilely as it knew how,
and denounced "Union county a potato patch,
soon to become bankrupt ;" but lhal was not
under either of its present editors. In unbro
kennefs of issue, punctuality, and fair print,
it has surpassed most or all of its cotcmpora
ries on this side of the river, and generally in
this region. Success to it and its editors !
"Tbe Chronicle, which is a paper of influence, abound

This will do. There is an attraction in a
"good old age," even among newspapers, and
some prnit too, for Ihey command patronage
if conducted with ordinary energy and tact.
Thus Mr. Hetbich of Easton was recently
claiming lhal (although under several names
and parties) he had issued substantially the
same paper for some thirty years.
The rf daily paper in the United Statct we
believe is ycl continued, and dates lo 1710
albeit there are several big "gaps" in tracing
backwards.which a critic might object to. The
Philadelphia VArt was first issued, weekly,
by one Dunlap, then bya Claypoole, became
a Daily Adccrtier,iiai within our memory was
published by Zachariah Poulson. "Poulson's"
was next merged in the United Statet Gazelle,
and tbe A'orM American joined that. So the
huge daily AurM American and V. S. Cmxmtte,
now before us Vol. LXXXIX. No. 24,146
has entirely dropped the names "Philadelph
ia," "Packet," "Poulson," and "Daily Advertiser," and
bears only that or tbe Continent and Nation wherein it
circulates and is known. IU multitudinous changes of
owners, names, types and materials, have not deprived
it of the honor and influence doe it in its 001b year.
Probably lAe ofoVjf JHfper ta lAc worfct is the English
weekly, eallod"7A Lincoln, Rutland and Stamford Mfr.
cary," started in 1095, and now thriving in the mature
glories of lot years decidedly ahead of the jYiUoniow,
and even of the Sar Cknmide- We have two No's,
of this paper on our table. It has doubtless swallowed
up scores of eotemporaries, and bad numerous changes
ot titles, publishers and materials, aud yet is alive and
flourishing a fortune to its owners.
The brethren'' editorial having pretty moch all
had their say, we drop the subject with the remark that,
after all, the proverb is true of journals as of men
"Wisdom is tbe gray hair to man, and an unspotted
life is old age." W ho, then, conducts his sheet with the
most sense and honesty who steadiest combats error
and advances truth is the best and most venerable.
A mong oar patrons, also, it is evident that there are
"many men of many minds." We give a synopjs of
some of the comments of tbe yeomanry" and others :

VISIT 10 TBE F.UiUElM' IIK.n M IIOOL.
We last week visited tha 1'eDnsjlvania
Agricultural College. The Manager, Mr.
Waring, and bis assistant, Mr. Gilliland,
bad tbe kindness to show ns over tbe most
attractive parts of the farm, wbicb contains
400 acres, all in one field, and upon wbicb
great deal of labor bas already been per
formed. Tbe nursery contains innumera
ble trees, shrubbery, &e., from different
parts of tbe globe. Tbe; are planted in
families. Mr. Waring pointed out to us
GO different kinds of willow trees, and this
novelty will be found among all tbe trees
and shrubbery on tho farm, some to tbe
number of 10, 20, CO, 100 and perhaps
200 different kinds. The wheat fluid con
tains 100 different kinds of wbeat what
a feast for the eyes of farmers ! Tbis is
also tbe case with other kinds of grain.
Seeds are . brought from all parts of tbe
world, for tbe sake of experimenting, so
that farmers may learn wbicb kinds are
the best suited to our soil, and wbicb are
the most productive. Persons desiring
any of tbe different varieties of tbe pro
duets of this model farm, such as orna
mental or fruit trees, shrubbery, seeds, or
grain, ean in time get them at tbe Insti
tution. Tlie barn tA wotkmkof belong
ing to tbe college, have a great many ob
jects of interest. Tbe main building is
only about one-third completed ; it is five
Btories high, built of stone, and makes a
very imposing appcarauce. We were eon
ducted through tbe post-office, library, and
reading-room, tbe latter containing news
papers from all sections of tbe State, for
tbe benefit of students. The philosophical
apparatus is complete. The institution
numbers 103 students. A more contented
and happy looking set we never saw, and
we full as though wa could always be
among them. Students are required to
labor on the farm three hours each day,
which they do in classes ; whilst there, out
sot were engaged in planting beans, ano
ther at harrowing, others plowing, ic.;
and Mr. Waring assures us that they are
always ready and willing to perform tbe
labor assigned them, and do it oheerfully.
Tbis speaks well for them, and is a promi
sing omen. Mr. Whitman is l'rofcssor of
Natural Sciences, and wo feci assured that
tbis important station is filled by the right
man. Every farmer in the State should
visit the Agricultural Coll. All ara wel
come, and have the privilege of going over
the farm and through the buildings, but
can not expect to bave any of those con
nected with the management go with
them, as tbe number of visitors is too
great, and it would require all their time.
We hope tbe institution will go on, as
the commencement bids fair to make it all
its friends could desire. Aaroiuburj Jicr-

For whites to preside over colored con
gregations, is very common. Hut a gen
tleman of Mississippi, who was formerly a
resident of Giles county, in Tennessee,
bas furnished the following statement, for
tbe truth of which he vouehes to the
Quul A'mnc ;
"On Lynn Creek, Giles county, Ten
nessee, there is a haptist chursb, suppor
ted by a number of wealthy communicants
of that persuasion, who, for several years
past, bave had fur their regular pastor a
man, black as the ace of spades, known as
'Bently's Old George,' belonging to the
estate of one Matthew Bently, deceased.
George is said to be a most excellent man,
and good preacher. Some time ago be
had a publie discussion, lasting four days,
with a white preacher, on tbe subject of
baptism, front-which the white man was
said to coma off 'seoond best' The
Church wants to buy George, bnt be is
unwilling to be sold out of bis master's
family, and is, witbal, a regular 'pro slave
ry parson.' George is the 'preacher in
charge' of a large congregation, nearly
all of whom ara slave holders, and who
pay him a salary of $000 or 5700 fur bis
pastoral services,"
Tbis is a new story, but may be true.
Some years ago, one of tbe moot noted
clergymen in Vermont was Lemuel
Haykes, a colored man, who was a long
time the respected and useful pastor of a
CoDgregational charcb, almost if not ex.
clusively of whites, in tbat State. lie
had famous debate witb a Uuiversalist
preacher, and bis life was tbe subject of
a pub'iration. ws think ia book form.
JUNE 3, 1859.
THE SARDINIAN CONTEST.
"Vow tell us a.1 about thr war
And what they kill each other for."
It is generally vain to attempt to say
who is in the wrong iu disputes between
great powers. Too often, if not always,
it is bad ambition, avarice, or revenge,
that prompts one or both parties (no
matter what reason or exi-uie they may
give.) Austria and France bave bad a
great many bard battles, in times lung
past. Italy, for many hundreds of years,
bas been drenched in human blood a fa
vorite field for many combatants, as His
tory tells. At present, both Napoleon of
France and Francis Joseph of Austria
want to get tbe upper hand of the northern
part of Italy, and olu grudges raukle in
their bosom?, and in many of their sub
jects also. Who is most to be blamtd,we
do not judge, but thousands and probably
millions of innocent men, women and
children, may suffer the most agooiiing
terrors, pains and woes. Vet
"War is a game, which, were their subj -its wise,
Kings would not play ml."
We bupe there may be common sense,
honor, aud virtue, enough, in America, to
keep us out of tbe seething caldron of wo
and carnage, and wa should be thankful
to God (hit our lives are in such secure
places. England and Switxerland also
seem determined to preserve an armed
neutrality.
But a gigantic war in Europe seems to
be a solemn fact, and most of us will, per
haps, for mouths to come, be engagvd in
reading tbe details of tbe eon test. A
confusion of ideas may be prevented with
some, by giving a correet notion of the
eouutries engaged in tha war. France
and Austria are pretty well, but SarJiuia
is not so well, understood. Iu th war
news, the names of "Sardinia" and "Pied
mont," ara iudiseriuiiuately used : tbey
are two names for tha same eouutry. It
ia most called I'ieduiont, from one of iu
principal provinces, or divisions, of that
name. Sardinia ia located in the northern
part of Italy, and is separated from France
by a high range of mountains, among the
most oelebrated in tba world, known as
tha Alps. Franea is to tbe west of Sar
dinia ; on tha east ia Lombardy, that part
of Italy forming a province of tbe Aus
trian empire. The river Tioioo, wbieb
th Austrian troops crossed, fluffs between
Lombardy and Sardinia. Turin ia the
capital city of tha latter eouutry. Tus
cany, Modena, Parma, Lucca, &0-, are all
small countries in Italy lying south of
Sardinia and Lombardy, which, though
not directly under supremacy of Austria,
bava been governed indirectly by her,
through ber great military influence.
Tho followiug is a rough diagram of tbe
position of the contending armies, as de
scribed in the London Time.

Suppose tbe above to represent Sardin
ia. Tba Austrians have entered its nor
theast portion, and, so far, bave encounter
ed no real opposition ; but they approach
the two lines wbicb the Sardinians bav
fortified tbe river Dora, running north
and south, and tbe river l'o, rousing east
and west. Tbe two line at right angles
to each other, may be supposed to meet at
Turin, the Itoyal City, which the Aus
trians hope to capture. It is evident tbat
tbey ean not proceed westward, to break
through th line of the river Dora, with
out leaving their left flank exposed to at
tack by the line of tbe river Po. Nor can
they proceed southward, to break tbrongb
the lino of the river Po, without lufiiog
their right flank exposed to assault by tbo
line of the river Dura. Tho ouly alterna
tive is to divide their force and assail both
line simultaneously ; but this involves
the necessity of wcakeniug their strength
by dividing it. The French, meantime,
ara marching in to the aid of the Sardin
ians, by tbe two dotted lines. Those who
have come by sea are landing at Genoa,
and pushing np to reinforce tbe line on
the Po. Those who have come over the
Alps, are pressing forward from Susa to
reinforce the Una on tha Dora. As both
point are connected with Turin by rail
way, tbe transit is easily made, while the
Austrian bav tbe disadvantage of being
in an enemy' country, where roads will
be blocked, briJges burnt, fields flooded,
and everything done to retard Ihcni. It
looks somewhat as if tbe easy viotor.es
which have given tbe Austriaus control of
a quarter of the kingdom, were only a tiap
to calcb them between two lints of truope,
and crush them.

1 Sunny scholar's lira r " "he ValT.I.
" j jirtt step was a walk to tbe sea
shore one Sabbath day."
So wrote Stani-ficld Itutter, as be lay
in an English jail, last summer, under
sentence of death. In bis boyhood, be
was a Sunday school scholar ; but, having
put away tbe instructions of his Sunday
school, be entered on a career wbicb end
ed in tbe crime of murder and a felon s
destb. Only think of it a Sabbath school
scholar bung !
It is not often tbat Sunday school schol
ars beeome great criminals. Tbe good
influence of the Suoday school keeps near
ly all of them from falling into crime.
But, wben on of them does sa fall, it is
well to ssk bow it happened.
Stantficld Rutter said hi first step was
lo take a pleasure walk on tbe Sabbath 1
Tbat is, he began bis wicked career by
breaking tbe Sabbath. As be walked
along the saudy beach on tbat sunny Sab
bath da;, laughing with bis gay compan
ions in sin, do you suppose he thought he
bad entered the real to the gallows?
Nut he. Ue says, in bis letter about bis
life, that be fit Lad, because be knew he
waa doing wrong. But be bad no idea
tbat he had started on a journey to the
scaffold. Yet, it was really so. That Sab
bath walk was his first step in the read to
ruin 1
Boy and girls, beware of these first

you are safe ; but wben you once form the
habit of doing what makes you feel guil

tbat h makes fir paia yoa when you

but tha pain make you pull it away
right quickly. So, doing wrong makes
you feel bad tbat yoa may stop doing
it before it rains yoa. Do yoa under

A Bishop ox tbe Carbiagc Abuse.
Tbe Catholio Sentinel contain a letter
from Bishop Tiiuon, of Buffalo, ia rela
tion to a rnle recently promulgated by bim
respecting tbe number of carriage to be
allowed in attendanceupon funerals among
Catholics in th diocese over which be
presides. He says :
"The abuses of funerals, often making
them become a pastime, a pleasant drive ;
tbe frequent desecration of a sacred rite
and duty ; the unchristian scenes at times,
occurring even in the graveyard ; the out
raged feelings of real mourners ; tha wid
ows and tha orphans who, next day, had
no food but what charity supplied, yet
seldom the charity of the Jricmh, who, the
day before, so freely speut their money to
hire twenty or thirty carriages fur the al
most frolic of a funeral ; the tyrranny of
a worse than pagan custom, forcing the
poor man, on pain of being called mean,
to give his last dollar for a carriage, and
leave bis family next day without bread ;
the uubonorcd grave of tbe dead, unmark
ed for months or years even by a eroM,
after all tbis friendly display ; all this,
and more, occasionally scandalizing the
faithful, and exciting tbe scoffs and ridi
cule of others, bavo lung called for an ef
fectual remedy."
Birds Protected by Law. We again
call the attention ef sportsmen lo a law
enacted by the last Legislature fur the pro
lection of birds, which makes it nnlawful
for any person within this Commonwealth
to shoot, kill or in any way trap or destroy
any blue-bird, swallow, martin or other
insectiverons bird, at any season of the
year, nnder tha penalty of two dollars.
Wa hope tha law will be enforced against
all offenders.

American Tract Society.
The American Tract Society csmmene.
ed its Thirty Fourth annual meeting ia
New York, May 11. The room was
crowded by life members mostly from tho
city. Tb officers of the present year wera
! re-e;tCted. All attempts to get an ex r res-
s;on 0f tBS Society against the African
Slave trade, were hooted, hissed, and voted
down. It was alleged that tract on this
subject eould not be circulated at tbo
South; tbat discussions of these "abstract
questions could result in no good to tha
Society ; that, if the Society expressed it
opinion on tb African Slave trade this
year, next year it might be called on to
express so opinion on the question of Sla
very in the Territories, &e. On tbe other
hand, it was said that the Society treated
the question of Slavery very differently
from others ; tbat it bad refused to pub
lish tracts sgainst Slavery, oi tbe vices re
sulting from Slaverv, and it now refuted
to publish any against the African Slavs
trade, a great wickedness which tbe gov
ernment of the United States bas for fifty
years branded a piracy ; while it ittutd
tract against Intemperance, Dancing, lad
the us of Tobacco.
From the remarks of Rev. Dr. Bacon,
w extract the following :
"We should use a little moral sense,
litt'.e eoninion sense, and walk right thro'
tbe cobweb mc.hes of such speeches as
tbss. You doubtless remember tbe word
of Him who said, 'V who biud heavy bur
dens, grievous to be borne, and lay them
upon other men s snouioers, yei win no.
touch them witb one of your fingers.' Sir,
is there any member of tbe Executiva
Committee of this Tract Society, just re
elected, on whose table sparkles the red
wine J J know there is ! Cheers, crie
of "Good'' and hisses. Is there any mem
ber of that Executive Committee whosa
parlor echo to the feet of tbe merry dan
cers? liuoio tlureis! Mora cries of
Good, cheers, and hissea Is there any
who uses tobacco 7 Sir, 1 have just vers
it pasiinj among them on this platform.
Cheers Tet hera we ara binding tbeso
burden about dancing, lubacco, and trine
drinking, and laying them on men's shoul
ders, when our shoulders do not bear tba
least part of that burden. Is it not time
to have don with such tom-foolcry a
tbat, and address ourselves to the weight
ier mattersof the law,sueh asrighteousnessi
great cheering, mercy, renewed cheer
ing, and truth 1 Sir, I have beard to
day, as I heard a year ago, what I consider
slanders upon the South ; and though a
refutation of them baa been given hero
to-day, itill, I must speak of what I know.
A few year ago I bad a friend at tbo
South a son ; in fact, one of th 'little
liaeons' who spent soma time ia Near
Orleans. It waa at th time wben that
fclebrated work, a 'South Side View of
Slavery,' wa issued by this Publishing
Committee. He went on a pilgrimage to
tbe book (tores of New Orleans to see if
it eould be found. It wa not there ; bat
wherever he went, be found 'Uncle Tom
Cabin.'" Immense applaus.
Mr. Bacon then charged upon tbe Soci
ety and Exeoutiva Committee that they
had been faithlasa in regard lo tb South,
and tbat tbe statements in relation to tha
lack of Anti-Slavery feeling at the South
wera in fact slanders upon tb best por
tion of tb Southern Slates. Daring this
portion of hi remarks, Mr. Bacon was in
terrupted and almost silenced by continual
hisses, cries of "Question," "Older," wills
shout of "Go on," "Go on."
After, on motion of Rev. Dr. Spring
(fearing tbey had gone a clep too far,) tho
Cotton party tbat wa present passed a
resolution, disclaiming any fritndskip for
the slave trade, although refusing to say
anything against that littl peccadillo,
which tbey regard a unworthy the Belie
of a "great national aociety of evangelical
Christians." Such gigantic sin as To
bacco, Dancing, and Wine, are worthy of
their batteries, but not Slavery and tbo
catalogue of crimes it includes 1
Slavery destroyed th Whig party,
tb American party, acd bids fair to de
stroy th Demccratie pnrty. It has sepa
rated nearly every Christian denomination,
and many national benevolent operations,
and will probably rend .under the I'.
S. Traet Soeiely also. Everything and
every man mottt bend to Slavery, er bo
mam while it pursue it own secret or
open plans !
Ahead. The Opposition are ahead of
th Democracy, in Kentucky, on th Sla
very question. Hell, the Opposition can
didate for Governor, goes for a Federal
Slave Cude, for the protection of slavery
in tbe Territories even if the people of
the Territories are opposed to it. Magof
Gn, tbe Democratic candidate, is iytd
to Congressional intcrvcntiii,fir or .ijraiust
slavery, iu tbo Territories. Our reader,
will perceive tbat the pro.-pects of a union
between the n.-pub:icau.sa'idS.iu'UeinOp-position,
in 1'0, is remarkably brilhaut !
Slavery in Cuba. A correspondent
of the New Orleaus Delta, was a witues
to tbe will of an African negro woiuiii,

least thirty-five years old when she was
taken from Afiiea, and brought to Cuba.
