Aso 'r FIRES AND FIRE COMPANIES is a very natural circumstance that people should' beeeme More or less alarmed when their prop artYis being destrofed by the terrible element fire ; bat that they should so far lose their self possession - arid control as to remier abortive both their own and the efforts of others to rivictrelheir property is bothleolish and repre liieniilile:' Discipline is - just as necessary (or , more so) in the emergency of fires as with mil itary organizations; and it is utterly impossible (hat a regularly organized fire department can Work to advantage when cumbered by an un, disciplined and frightened lot of people. We. are lid to these remarks from the manner in which 'n:istny fires in our city are conducted. We have now a fire department of nine corn, : pinks. Bo far as we can learn, none of these have any drills. This is entirely wrong;.all our fire companies should have stated times for. drill, and their officers should have as'perfect dOmmand as those of the military service. By eo doing, , when their sergices would be required at lire, every man would know his.place, and be ti better able to do his duty,-with more ease and effect than is accomplished under diet prey eat system. We throw out these suggestions' for the benefit of our firemen, and knowing that they belong to the. progressive class, have every reasm to believe that they will give them the consideration they deserve.

At an early hour last evening: quite a pleasing episode in the dry routine of the professional dales *of the participants, as well as to the spectators present, took place at the passenger depot of the Pennsylvannt-Railread. The oc casion was tbit of the presentation of Gen. Will A. Stokes, late Solicitor .of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, with 'a beautiful service of plate by the officers of the Company.. The service consists of a large and massive silver salver,' three feet in length and two in width', on Which is etched in the highest style of art, a view •of the Susquehanna river five miles West of Harrisburg, the railroad bridge, crossing it at tharpoint; and the Pennsylvania Railaoad tmversing the shore, with the sur rounding scenery, forming a picture of rare beauty ; and an enormous tankard, with a stem of elegant design, representing a forest tree en twined with parasites, and on the bowl of which is a rich - view of the residence of Mr. Stokes at Ludwick, near Greensburg, and the adjoining grounds. The salver and goblet bear the following in scription To their late associate, William A.,Stokes, the officers of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company present this testimonial of their respect and esteem. Accompanying these was a smaller goblet, very neat,. presented to Mr. Stokes' daughter by T. Scott - Stewart, Esq., inscribed, simply : Aggie Stokes from T. "Scott Stowart24 These beautiful specimens of art were made to order by Messrs. Meyer & Warne, No. 704 Chestnut street, Philadelphia; and reflect great credit upon the-firm., Displayed in their win dow a few Weeks since they attracted universal attentionandadmiration. The engravings far surpass anything of the kind welave,ever seen and arikhighly:creditable.to the artist. A numerous concourse of the friends of Mr. Stokes, and the officers and employees of the Company were pre.sent. Mr. John ,H. Hampton preiented Mr. Stokes with - the service, in behalf of' the ofncers, with the-following remarks: Ma. SroKus--The officers of the Pennsyl vania Railroad Company, remembering and admiring with what singular devotion and un tiring energy, , for a- long series of years, you have served the CoMpany, desire me, on their behalf, to present to you this service of plate, a well deserved tribute to yout talents' as a law yer, your worth as a friend and your fidelity as a companion in duty. Apart from the profes sional relation you have sustained to the Com pany, with so much honor to yourself and benefit to them, the unbroken intercourse of genuine friendship which has so long existed, prompts them to assure you, by this offering, that they mingle with the recollection of your fidelity as an officer, your genial manners and proverbial hospitality... They trust that in this attempt to acknow ledge the great worth of your past labors, and to testify the continuance of their kindest feel leg for you, they have, been fortunate in se lecting a view of one of the Company's no blest works, surrounded by the most grand and picturesque scenery of our ancient Common wealth, and causing the whole by the delicate hand of the artist to be engraved upon the plate, fit emblem to recall the years you spent with us; of the persevering men who laid a great pathway for commerce over the territory of an entire State, binding the seaboard to the Ohio—men whose ambition cons quered the rocky passes of the mountain, and defied the wildsrushing rivers, that lay in their way. Whenever you behold how the hand of the artist has thus spread upon this glittering surface a landscape of unrivalled beauty, adorned with one of man's highest ex hibitions of skill, may you recollect, and that too with pride, that you were with those men who aided in carrying to completion Ponnsyl• vania's greatest improvement. Not more en during will be the work of the artist, than the remembrance by us of your aervicos in this great work. Accept, then, from me, the representative of the Company's officers, this free and heart-felt expression of their high esteem for you, and be assured that they entertain now, as in times gone by, the warmest and most affectionate re •gard for you; one and all they invoke on you as you approach the sun-set of life's weary day, long seasons of unclouded joy, in which, blessed with health and prosperity, and happy amidst the shades and flowers of Ludwick, surrounded by a devoted family, you may long live to see your fame brighten and your_ professional laurels grow green with' age. Mr. Stokes replied in substance as follows; I thank you, Sir, .for the more than courte ous terms of unmerited compliment in which, as the representative of the officers of the Rail Road, you have presented this testimonial to ono long connected with them. To you, gentlemen, who are hero present, and to all who are officially united with you, I beg to offer hearty and heart-felt sentithents of enduring gratitude. I cannot easily say more. I am unaffectedly and unexpectedly embarrass ed,. not only by the splendor of this magnificent present, which rather commemorates your gen erous kindness than any merit of mine, but also by an expression of spontaneous feeling in your cordial greetings to-night, which has taken me somewhat by, surprise. While life 'lasts I-shall revive, whenever I look.oh these gifts, the recollection of an inti mate intercourse during many years with those who made labor pleasant by cordial concur rence in our common duty, and among whom I have formed friendships never to be dissolved. My children will preserve these precious proofs that their father was considered not unworthy of .your - esteem. . I suppress, with difficulty, the utterance of my estimate of the integrity, intelligence and zeal which distinguistrthe officers of the Penn-, Sylvania Rail -Road - .Company, for that es; tlmate - is too high to be. told to your faces; but the result is apparent in the success which crowns your labors, which have given"this'' road ungiteliticthed pre-eminence among the improvements of the age, and to every true rerinsylviga.p st, pride in that un ion of skill and power which mountains have been pierced and rivers passed, by which corn mermal intercourse is facilitated, society is con solidated, the resources of the Commonwealth developed and the amenities of life promoted. These are the iron-bands by which the East and West are bound together, forming a har monious whole, assuring the brotherhood 'of all our people, and destined to confer countless blessings on the coming generations. Under all circumstances, my - friends, you will find me hereafter as heretofore, ready to prove the interest which I feel in all which concerns your prosperity; and now, taking leave of you, I wish you all health and happi ness. Altogether the ceremony was. pleasing and impressive, showing the esteem in which Mr. Stokes, the !worthy recipient of this munifi cent present, is held by his late associates. The occasion will long be remembered by all who were present.

One of them then said he was not afraid to let the gun be fired at him, so after placing himself in a position which he thought most suitable for a target, he let his companion bang away. This time, unluckily, the gun was discharged, pros trating both Englishmen. Ono of them was so severely injured by receiving the contents of the gun, that ho was removed to the Poor House.

THE CRICKET CIZi THE HEARTH.—Every body reads, or should read Dickens, and ail who have read admit - that his sprightly novel, the Cricket on the Hearth, is one of his finest productions. This pathetic story has been dramatized by the great novelist himself, and will be produced this evening at the Apol lo Theatre, with Miss Jean M. Davenport as “Dot," the principal character in the piece. All her admirers, and their name is legion, will of course be present, and th,, success with which she met in the East in this character, will attract others. Her rendition of the part is highly spoken of, but it is unnecessary to say this, as Miss D. attempts nothing in which she does not, succeed triumphantly. The pre sentation of-this drama to-night will be a rare treat for the lovers of good acting, and we hope to see all such present. The farce of "The Secret" will close the entertainment. To CoNsuMPTlVES.—Persons of a consump tive tendency have need to be very careful en the outset of a cough, and betake themselves in time to a proper remedy. . A cough is always evidence of irritation in the throat and lungs, resulting from some obstruction of the skin. In order to prevent these attacks, wear flannel next the akin, guard the feet from damp and wet, and above all, take Dr. Keyser's Pectoral Cough Syrup upon the first approach of a cough or sore throat, and check the disease thereby in its infancy. There is nothing like attacking a disease on its first approach. By due attention to this advice you will save much suffering, and sometimes prolong life. Even when consumption has become seated, this medicine will mitigate the suffering, and has cured some very bad cases.

The audience at the Pittsburgh Theatre last evening was as large as on any previous night of their engagement, and the entertainment pleased as much. To night another good bill is offered, when Mr. Florence appears as Connor the Rash, in the brilliant serio-comedy of the Knight of Ar lin," in which character he has obtained some celebrity. The protean farce of' "Michievous Annie' will also basilderformed. In this Mrs. Florence personates Annie Spruce, assuming a number of disguises. and introducing some of her best songs. Mr. Florence also plays Tim Souns in the same piece, which was writ ten by himself, and is very mirth.provoking HESIRDT FOR DYSENTERY.—The follow ing is said to be a vory successful remedy for dysentery :—Take the pith of the common mullen stock—as much, say,as will he found in a foot and a half of the stock—boil it a few moments in a pint of milk, and let the patient drink it at his leisure. The mullcn does not affect the taste. The beneficial effects of this simple and pleasant remedy, in several cases that have come to our knowledge, have been speedily witnessed. Everybody should try it, •'it can do no harm, if ft does no good." But we are cymtldent that it will do great good. It may be old to some of our readers, but proba bly new to others. SHAESPEAAEAN O.

THE LATEST NEWS 13'2" Maryland State Eleetion-Outrages ai Beatimore--Several:Polior!s Shot. DALTEMORE, November 2.----The State elec tion. is now in progress. There is a great struggle in all the wards of this city, as far as heard froM. The polls of tho 'Third ward are blocked by rowdies, and the police are doing nothing to hinder them. In the Tenth ward the Reform Judge of Election was intimidated and compelled to leave his post. Hinsley, who was appointed by the acting Mayor and rejected by the Councils, has been reappointed. The Reformers have been driven off. James Jeffers, a son of Madison Jeffers, was shot in the aide and beaten over the head by the Reformers, whom ho had maltreated. In tho 16th ward, Adam B. Kyle, Jr., merchant, doing business at No. 88 Hanover street, and a Reformer, has been shot in the temple, and is in a dying condition. His brother, George H. Kyle, who came to his rescue, was also shot, and is dangerously wounded. In the Fourteenth ward, a desperate struggle occurred ; the Reformers wore resisted with arms. Sonny White, alias .Itune.s Johnson, a, notorious rowdy, run an awl into a Reformer, and was shot dead on the spot with a pistol ball. Two other rowdies named Harris and Duffy were shot in the legs. Henry Starr, a Refonn or, was also shot in the leg. Wm. Stiles, a Reformer, was shot in the arm and the leg. Theodore Woodall was badly beaten. Dr. C. Richardson, a Reformer, was pursued by the captain of the Thbnderbolt Club with a drawn sword, lie took refuge in a store, and the rowdies, pursuing, broke the windows. Ri. h. ardson, however, managed to make his es cape. Judge Giles, of the U. S. District ('curt, met Sheriff Creamer in the street, and told him in decided terms that he was to be held accountable for all the bloodshed to-day. lie also told him, as a judge and a lawyer, that ho had the authority and it was his duty to in terfere. In the Eighteenth ward the rowdies took possession of the polls and gave the Re formers notice to quit. Felix McCurly was severely beaten. In the Fifth ward the Reformers wore driven oil at an early hour. The son of Ron. Joshua Vansant was badly beaten while attempting to vote. Several shots were tired, injuring no body. The First, Second and Fourth wards are in the possession of rowdies, to the total exclusion of all who oppose them. In the Twentieth ward the rowdies knock down and maltreat whom they please. The police will not protect tho citizen , . The rowdies have brought a swivel on the ground in the Twelfth and Sixteenth wards. A gang of rowdies from Washington, fully armed,are aiding the Balti more Roughs. The indications now are that the Reformers, as a general thing, have abandoned the contest, finding it impossible to vote without risking their lives. In the Fifteenth ward, a boy has been mortally wounded by a shot in the breast. There is much talk in the streets, among the Citizens, of the propriety of estab lishing a Vigilance Committee. [THIRD DESPATCH.] Mr. F. Preston, the Democratic candidate for Congress in the third district, is now lying at Barnum's Hotel, badly beaten about the head with a billy. The outrage is said to have been committed in the Seventh ward. In the Eleventh ward, which is the strong-hold of the Reformers, Mr. George McGill, a promi nent Reformer, made a speech sand Announced the withdrawal of Mr. Thomas, the candidate for Attorney General. The Reformers then all withdrew, finding it impossible to accomplish anything. - Mr. Adam EL Kyle, who received, a pistol ball in his temple this mondng, at the election polls in the Fifteenth ward, was reported dead at two o'clock, but he was still alive an hour since. His case is hopeless, as the ball is buried in his brain. At three o'clock - Dr. Robinson; of the Central Reform Committee visited the polls in the Eleventh ward and announced that the Reformers had beets drlVen froni every ward except that 'and the Eighth ward, end he thereforb counseled the Reformers to with draw to avoid further bloodshed. Dr. Thomas, the Reform +tag° retired, and the Contest was abandoned. The Reformers throughout the city took the same course, leaving the polls in the hands of the dominant parties. ' Numerous reports are afloat, with regard to minor out rages on the rights of the citizens in the several wards. In the Second, Charles I3arkaid, a German, was shot in the hip. In the Fifth ward; a Man whose name is unknown, was dreadfully beat en: 'ln relation to the assault upon Mr. Wes ton, the most reliable report, is that it occurred at Govanstown, in the Ninth district, Balti more county. One accoant says the assailant was an Irishman, but it is difficult to arrive at the truth, with so many conflicting reports, this evening. The streets are nearly deserted, except by the victorious party. The 'stores were generally closed at dark. The proprietor of the Exchange having - been threatened with an assault upon hie office, has made a demand on the city authorities for protection. VOURTH DZITAMO/t.3 The Americans are rejoicing over their vic tory in the city. The Reformers, however, deny that anything that can be called an elec tion has taken place. It will be late before any returns of the vote can be obtained, as there were a large nnmber of officers voted for, and all on one ticket. In the Seventeenth ward, it is reported that tbe - average vote for the American ticket is 860, and tbe highest vote on the Reform ticket only 24. Folt.

Russell and Lennett, attorneys from Boston, reached here to-day. Cook was brought before the magistrate's Court, but waived an examination. He was committed for trial. Cappee's trial is resumed. No witnesses were called for the defense. Mr. Harding opened the argument for the Commonwealth, and Messrs. Hoyt and Grit wold followed for the defendant. Mr. Hunter closed for the prosecution. The speeches were of marked ability. - Mr. Griswold asked for several instructions, which were all granted by the Court. The jury then retired. Brown was then brought into the Court House, which was immediately thronged. The Court gave its decision on the motion to arrest the judgment, overruling the objections made. On the objection that treason cannot be com mitted against the State except by a citizen, it ruled that wherever allegiance was due, trea son may be committed. Most of the States have passed laws against treason. The objec tions, as to the form of the verdict rendered, were also regarded as insufficient. The Clerk then asked Brown whether be had anything to say, why sentence should not be pronounced, when Brown stood up and in a clear voice said: "I. have, may it please the Court, , a few words to say. In the first place, I deny everything, but what I have all along admitted. The de sign on my part was to free the slaves. I in tended certainly to have made a clear thing of that matter, as I did last winter when I went into Missouri, and there took the slaves with out the snapping of a gun on either side. I moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again on a larger scale. That was all I intended. I never did intend to commit - murder or treason, or to destroy prop ertY, or to excite or incite the slaves to re bellion, and make an insurrection. I have another objection, that it is unjust I should suffer such a penalty, had I interfered in the manner which, I admit has been fairly proven, for I admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who have testi. tied in this case. Had 1 - so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so called great, or in behalf of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife or children, or any of that class, and sacrificed what I have in this fhterference, it would have been all j right. Every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than Punishment. This court acknowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible or at least the New Testament, that teaches me that all things whatsoever I would that men should do to me I should do even so to them ; it teaches me further to re member them that are in bonds as bound with them; I endeavored to act up to that instruc tion. I my, I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I be lieve that to have interfered as I done; as I have always freely admitted .I have done in be half of his despised poor, was no wrong, but right. Now it is deemed necessary that I should mingle my blood further with the blood of my children and with the blood of millions in this slave country, whose rights are disre garded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments. I admit; so let it be done: Let me say one word further. I feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have received on my trial. Considering all the circumstances it has been more generous than I expected, but I feel no consciousness of guilt. I have stated from the first what was my. intention and what was not. I never had any design against the life of any person, nor any disposi tion to commit treason, or excite the slaves to rebel, or make any general insurrection. I never encouraged any man to do so, but al ways discouraged any idea of that, kind. Let me say also in regard to the statements made by some of those connected with me : I hear it has been stated by some of them that I have induced them to join me, but the contrary is true. Ido not say this to injure them, but as regretting their weakness. Not one joined me but of his own accord, and the greater part at their own expense. A number of them I never saw and never bad a word of conversa tion with till the day they came to me, and that was for the purpose I have stated. Now I have done. While Brown was speaking perfect quiet prevailed. When he had finished, the Court proceeded to pronounce the sentence, after a few preliminary remarks. He said no reason able doubtcould exist as to the prisoner's guilt. Ho sentenced him to be hung in public on Fri day, the 2d of December. Brown received the sentence with composure. The only demon stration made was with the clapping of hands by ono man in the crowd, who is note resident of Jefferson county. This was promptly sup pressed, and much regret was expressed by cit izens at it. occurrence. The verdict in Cappee's case is guilty on all the counts of the indictment. After being out an hour, the jury in the case of Cappee returned with a verdict, declaring him guilty on all the counts in the indictment. His counsel gave a notice of motion to arrest judgment, as in Brown's case. The court then adjourned. Washington City Items. WASHINGTON Cul - , Nov. 2—Mr. Conner, the United States Consol at Mazatlan, is now here. lie has obtained from the constitutional government several concessions, of a commer cial chaster, one of which is the permission to run a steamer on the Mexican Pacific coast, under the American flag. lie has, partially made arrangements with one of the stearaihip companies to connect with its line At Acapul co, thereby affording a direct steam communi cation on that coast twice a month. • • -. The dispatcher from counsel Black to the State department, shows that Ormond Chase was most maliciously murdered in Mexico, by the officers belonging to the Church party. All that it was in the President's power to do, will be or has been done, j{; yjcw of that crime. If more is'necessary, to protect the lives and property of American citizens in that coun try, Congress must provide further means. There is no doubt that the President will promptly present this subject in his annual message. The friends of the Constitutional government in Mexico, think that it is highly essential that Senor Lerdo should immediately return to Vera Cruz, in order to exert his in fluence towards the constitution, of the pending treaty with the United States. ,Gen. Span, the Minister from New Grena da, is in the city'. The prospect, now is that the *public will ratify the treaty, as amended by the United States Senate. The Congress of New Grenada will not, however, meet till next February. The Postmaster General left the city to-day, for a brief visit to Charleston. Therefore, no dealt° 'action on the bids for carrying. the mails between Portland and New 9:leans will he made till he returns. Wertde4 . 4 :11 4 11 P 3 Q l 4 BrOWn• ; I. ENC : TOR*, November 2.—Wendell Phil lips, of Boston, delivered a lecture last night in .Hrooklyn, in which he argued that John Brown was the only American who had acted boldly up to the true American idea ; cast aside also those false and fatal wrappings of an effete conservatism, and refused to regard anything as government, or any statute as law, except those which conformed to his own sense of justice and of right. Virginia was not a State, Mi. Wise was not a Governor, the Union was not a nation—all these so called governments were organized piracies, end . John Brown was to-day the only real and true government on the'soil of Virginia, and had an infinitely bet ter. right to hang Governor Wise than Governor Wise had to hang kim. He also said, "I think you can matte abettor. use of iron than forging into chains. Tf you must have the metal, put it into Bharpe's rifles. It is a great deal better than a great clumsy statue of a false great man for men to kneel down and worship in a &ate House." Tom Corwin, of Qio, was present on the platform, and being tailed upon . for a speech, said he was there merelrby accident, andbag ged to be allowed to reflect upon what he had heard before giving his vote upon the matter.
