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

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.
That Shingle Machine,
:.:We noticed, a few days ago, the Iron . City
Shingle Machine, the invention of a Pitts
burgher, now ' on. exhibition at Dilworth's
Planing Mill, corner of Seventh and Grant
streets. Its merits as a very valuable inven
tion are becoming known to our citizens whO
have seen it in operation, and, from present
appearances; it will not be 'Ong until it will be
in general use. Shop rights, county and State
rights ails enquired <for, and < this .inveilter is
likely to . be.well_i:einibursed for the time and

It is undoubtedfg a valuable invention, and
parties with as - mall capital can make money
log; of it. .4ights for got:pities and States,and
for can be bought at low• rats, as
it is the design-to sell out at once.
That it is thelosest thing of 'the kind ever

superiority over all‘thers will bring it speedily

Interesting Prelentixtbin Ceremony.
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

I suppress, with difficulty, the utterance of
my estimate of the integrity, intelligence and
zeal which distinguistrthe officers of the Penn-,

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

developed and the amenities of life promoted.
These are the iron-bands by which the East
and West are bound together, forming a har

all our people, and destined to confer countless

WON'T./RY IT AA:UM—Some weeks ago,
two Englisbinen, - residing near Irwin's Sta
tion, started out iunning, having a shot-gun
between them; which, after reaching the woods,
they found could not be discharged; they were
about giving up in despair, when one of them
suggested the idea of putting in another charge,
which was accordingly done, and another effort
made to discharge her; but it was no go. 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. Sold by Dr. Key
ser, 140 Wood street.

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.

I.H.II4.ESTOWN, VA., November 2.—Messrs.
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.

If more is'necessary, to protect the lives and

There is no doubt that the President will
promptly present this subject in his annual

conservatism, and refused to regard anything
as government, or any statute as law, except
those which conformed to his own sense of

not a nation—all these so called governments
were organized piracies, end . John Brown was
to-day the only real and true government on

We regret that we are unable to note any generalna im

say that many of their regular customers have not yet
