In our next piper, wc will present to our reader the first number of an interesting his torical and religions tale, by a gentleman of this place, entitled the "Maktyr Family." We will publish it until the whole is complete, which will give this volume of the Journal a new and valuable attraction. "We bespeak for rt an attentive perusal. The copywright is secured, and when finished it will be publish ed in book form. Clearfield Academy. The trustees of the Academy, have secured fiie services of AW A.' Campbell, and Lady, and the institution will be regularly opened on Monday next. Air. Campbell comes well re commended as a teacher of experience and ability, and his arrangements, which will be found in another column, have been made in a manner best calculated to secure the . pros perity and success of the institution. The people of our county should regard this in stitution as entitled to their especial patronage We have no other High School, within our limits, and it will allord all those who have heretofore been compelled to send their children to a distance to be educated, an opportuuity to confer upon them the same benefits at home, with half the expense. It places within the reach of all, the opportunity of acquiring a good English or Classical education, who have heretofore been deprived of it. We hope it will be well sustained by our citizens. The Candidate for Aisembly. In Alex'r. Caldwell, Esq., the people of Clearfield Count y have a candidate, whom they can unanimously and consistently support, without regard to party preferences. During the late session, he discharged his duties honestly and faithfully, and perhaps no repre sentative was ever received by his constitu ents on his return, with more universal satis faction and respect than Mr. Caldwell, lie was one of the very few in the late Legisla ture who could be dignified with the title of iin honest man, and who commanded the esteem f all circles at the Capitol. Although nominated by the late Democratic Convention, Mr. Caldwell, should neverthe less, be considered the people's candidate, and we" have no doubt he will receive the entire vote of all parties in Clearfield, lie is a man of liberal views, and although professing the principles of pure democracy, be is xcry far from leing an intolerent and bigoted Locol'o co. 'Wc know of no man in the ranks of our political adversaries, we would sooner see elected than Mr. Caldwell. ' The Know Nothings. The Pennsylcanian, and other democratic papers have been publishing a series of articles purporting to be an exposition of the Know Nothings," remarkable only for their glaring inconsistencies. By their exposition it is re quired not only that the father of the member, should be a native-born .American, but also his grand father. Now they charge Judge Conrad, with being a member of the order, and at the same time aver that his father is an Irishman ! Could anything be more absurd ! But they also say that it is made up entirety of Whigs and Native Americans, and yet in another . column complain of democrats who have taken the "blasphemous oath!" They charge Judge Pollock with having been in itiated on a certain day, in Philadelphia, and publish a letter, purporting to be written by him, dated the same day at Milton. They say he was taken to the lodge, by Judge Conkad and Sheriff Allen. The latter denies it most positively over his own signature, and the former is the son of an Irishman ! We have repeatedly denied, and by authori ty that cannot be questioned, that Judge Pol lock: is connected with any "Know Nothing" Association, but with such glaring inconsist encies and deliberate lie staring ns in the face as the above, that denial is unnecessary. Any man who mayread their expositions,without pre udice or partiality, will at once come to the conclusion that they are writing on a subject of which they 'Know Nothing." Precious Metals. For the year ending on the 1st of July, the total amount of precious metals sent from this country to Europe, to pay for the manufactories of other countries, over and above the-amount of ourrxportations, M as the trifle of $18,122,503! Pat of Constables for Attending Elec tions. By an act approved March 21, 1851, Constables are allowed one dollar per day for attending general and township elections to be pai out of the County Treasury. - Lancaster Cocnty. The Whigs have nom inated Hon. Isaac E. Hei'ster for re-election to Congress ; Jacob G. Shuman for Senator; and D. W. Witmer,' W. W. Withers,' J. F. Jierr and Wm. K. Mehafiy for Assembly. ' The News. Three thousand French troops had made a landing near Bomersund, in the Baltic. . The Russians abandoned eight cannons on their approach. The large shipjs of the combined fleet remained at Letsund. The bombardment was expected to commence on the 8th of Au gnst. Prince Gortschakoff has announced to th Austrian government that Moldavia and Wallachia will both be immediately evacuated by the Russians. The Austrian troops which were on their way to Gallicia, Bokovina and Transylvania, have accordingly received or ders to halt for the present. A formidable ex pedition against Sebastopol was preparing at Varna. All shipping available for the trans port of men or stores was being collected there. Geu. Yusuf, at the head of the bashi bazouks, has made a reconnoisance beyond Rarasou. The Russians retired from Bucha rest, after having broken up the road between that city and Kalugereuy. Omar Pacha has sent a message to Bucharest, requiring lodging and provision for 12,000 men inside the city, and rations for 20,000 outside the walls. Be fore leaving Bucharest Prince Gortschakoff assembled the Boyards and thanked them for the manner in which they had treated the Russian troops during their stay at Bucharest The General added, that strategetic reasons in duced him to quit the city, but that it was not improbable he might return at an early pe riod. On leaving . Oursitcheni, several Rus sians corps marched upon Ibraila, for which point the corps of General Luders were alrea dy on the inarch .' The artillery and engineer ing material and baggage, followed the beat en routes, lhe rest of the army marched across the steppes. Besides the epidemic, which severely attacked the men, the horses were affected with an epizootic disease. Be tween Oursitcheni and Obileschti twentv- one villages had been converted into hos pitals a plot to burn the Russian fleet at Se- bastopal, was discovered on the 10th inst. A war council is sitting to investigate the affair. Several captains of merchant men and of the navy nave heen imprisoned. A corns of eighteen thousand Russians had arrived at Tiflis, the capital of Georgi, after a three month's march. The French Government had refused the armistice asked for by the Czar but has an nounced that peace may be secured on the following terms: 1st. The abolition of the Russian protector ate over Wallachia, Scrvia and Moldavia. 2d. The freedom of the mouths of the Dan ube. 3. A revision of the treaty of 1841, with reference to the limits of Russia in the Black Sea. 4th. No power to have a protectorate over Turkish subjects. Judge Smyser. The following extract from the '-Berks Coun- v 1'ress " the democratic orsran in "Olt t; erks," pays a just tribute to the exalted char- aracter and legal attainments of the Whig candidate for the Supreme Bench. It shows in what estimation he is held by those who have an opportunity of enjoying his acquain tance : "The Hon. Daniel M. Smyser, of Montgom- ry count', presided over the August term of our courrt, in the absence of his honor J. P.

Nebraska issce uodged. e nave learned from persons who were present that Gov. bigler dodged the Nebraska issue in his speech in McConnelsbarg, on Monday of last week, lie said it was a purely national mea sure, was not involved in the present State contest, and he therefore would not discuss it. It is evidently Gov. Bigler's ox that is gored now, instead of Governor Johnston's in the memorable struggle of '51. Then, it will be remembered, Gov. Bigler conducted the can vass mainly on national issues, and crushed Gov. Johnston only by the aid of many Whiss n xt . . t v T-V who were deceived by the pathetic appeals of tne democracy in lavor or Union and Harmo ny. But now that confidence has been shame lessly violated by the national administra tion, and with the sanction of Gov. Bigler, and he trembles as he sees the retributive stroke suspended over his head. Hence he dodges ! Chambersburg Whig Illinois.

Editor : There was an act passed du ring the last session-chartering the Franklin Canal Company,' on condition that thev sub scribe 250,000 to the Sunbury and Erie Rail road, which I have not yet seen; but if this be the fact it was in effect a I subscription by the State of that amount, because the com pany onereu to pay tne state that sum lor a charter. Thus the rights of the Erie people were coolly sold to the New York and Ohio men, to accommodate the Sunbury and Erie R. R. Company, and the interests of the Com monwealth, already o heavily taxed, were wholly disregarded, by the wasting for throw ing away of $250,000. lhe mmoermen oi Glearneld nave in vain prayed for an appropriation to remove the ob stacles from the bed of the Susquehanna their natural highway to market, not a dollar could be obtained for that purpose. But a private corporation can fill its enpacious pockets from the State treasury, with the approbation of the Legislature and the Governor. What do the Raftsmen of Clearfield owe to Governor Bigler, for anything he has done for their interests since he came into office? It may be said the Governor could not appro pnate money lor improvements such as -we desire, that it belongs exclusively- to the Legislature. No, but he could have refused his sanction to the bill, giving S 250,000 to the Sunbury and Erie Road, and he could have used the influence, which every Governor ought to possess, to obtain an appropriation which would not have been beneficial, merely to a class or county, but to tho State at large. I have thus hastily scribbled the above, and hope it may afford ground for a more ngthy and ably written article. Should I iiiiu lime, i mav nave something more to sav on the subject. Yours truly, For the Raftsman's Journal. Clearfield Academy. The Principal of Clearfield Academy would respectfully announce, that he has endeavored to procure the best and latest system of Class- books known, and will spare no labor, in so arranging the classes, as may best suit the con venience, advancement, and good government of his pupils. He is prepared to give instruction in all the ranches of a Scientific and Classical Educa- ion; and will fit pupils for any pursuit or oc cupation they may desire. It is his design not to rush students rapidly through volumes, but to make them thorough in each st ud v. The mode of discipline will be mild and be coming yet pupils of advanced years who persist in disorderly conduct will be dismissed without ceremony. - - The united labors of the Princii.il and l.is ady shall be, to make this Institution in jwint of learning, second to none in the State; ami it shall be their constant care, that it meet the most sanguine expectations of its friends and Pifrrms Yv niriTjrrr Principal. Rev. John Chambers. The Free Presbyterian, alluding to the chi- anery of this priestly politician, says that tbeworkandtliemr.il furnish an illustration the '"fitness of things," and that ho "is just the man to play the demagogue for a, political esnit like William Uisrler.'' Ihis is not a cry high character io bestow upon a clergy man, but we presume it to be just, from all the circumstances connected with the fraud which has been traced home to him. It was stated in our columns, in some article eferring to this man, that be was a Presbvte- lan clergyman. Several of our Presbyterian friends have called ou us to disclaim the ques able honor of brotherhood. They disavow all knowledge of him as one of their communion. Since he is not a Presbyterian, what is he ? ho lays claim to religious fraternity with him ? Is there any ecclesiastical body that will own him and bring liim to judgment for his misdeeds ? We know who his political associates are men to whom fraud is a trade and with whom deception is the highest virtue. I hese are low enough to do him reverence; but their reverence is not of that kind which a Christian Minister in the legitimate exercise of his calling, is apt to receive. ' while we are in the wav of asking ques tions we may as well ask, What has become of Chambers? He dropped down at Bedford with 'the Governor's private pledge in his pocket to sign a prohibitory liquor law, para- and put it in his pocket again. Haviug made the contents of the letter rather too public, the affair got into the papers, and since then we have not heard of the reverenddemagogue. Has the letter been taken from him and con fided to other hands? Has Dr. John Patrick's visits to different parts of the State anything to do with it ? Was it found unsafe to trust such a delicate mission in the hands of such a Marplot us Chambers ? Alas ! that in his zeal he should permit himself not only to go far enough to lose the respect of all honorable men, but too far for the wily purposes of his political coadjutors. Despised by those whose esteem is worth possessing, he will be unfor nate indeed if he earns in addit ion the con tempt of the conspirators he was willing to serve ; but those who "Steal tho livery of Heaven - To serve tho Devil in," and serve him blunderingly, must be content with such reward as falls to awkward and un nnprofitable menials. Pittsburg Gazette. Shocking Railuoad Accident. We learn from the Cincinnati Gazette of Sat urday morn ing last, that as the Pittsburg train, Short, conductor, was leaving Cumminsville, they ran into a horse attached to a light grocery wagon, while crossing the Coleraiu pike. Tho locomotive struck the horse and -wagon about the same time, and dividing them sent the horse to the left of the road, and the wagon to the right, breaking the wagon into a thousand pieces, and killing the horse instantly. The two boys who were in the wagon jumped up, and were in the act of getting out when the collision occurred, both of whom were killed. Rki'ort of Chikf of Police. Robert Tay lor, Chief of the Police and Captain of the Watch, submitted his report for the month of July last, showing the whole numler of arrests during the month to have been 2,759, of which number 2,173 were males, and 5SC were fe males. Of the whole uumber arrested 2,308 were foreigners, and 451 were Americans. Boston Patriot, ,iug. 21. - Judge Pollock and The "Know Notb.ing.' The Delaware Republican,- In answer to a correspondent, who has been reading; the Pcnnsylcanian's charge of Judge Pollock be ing a Know Nothing, uses the following lan guage: The above communication comes to us from a good Whig. The questions he puts are per tinent, and worthy of consideration. The source from which he derives his information relative to the initiation of Judge Pollock into the order of Nnow.js othmgs, is not consider ed good authority by YV higs indeed, any po. ntical statement emanating from that onarter is not worth a moment's reflection. As proof ot this, we mav state, that it cave out that Judsre Pollock was conducted into tiie Know Nothing lodge by Mayor Conrad and Sheriff Allen. The latter gentleman denies this statement most emphatically over his own signature. So much for that part of the story That being false, is it not fair to infer that the whole charge is a gross deception, got up to "gammon the .flats The so-called Demo cratic papers, at the head of which stands the Pcnnsylvanian, have opened a herce war upon Know Nothingism, while at the same timo they would profit bjr any private arrangement they could make with that order to obtain votes. It is said, and wc have never seen it authoritatively denied, that Gov. Bigler sought admission into the order in- Philadelphia, and was rejected. Judge Pollock may or may not le a member. W e have reasons lor believing that he is not. The Clinton Tribune, a very respectable Whig paper, speaking as though bv authority from the Judge himself, denies the allegation of the Permsylcanian, altogeth er, t or ourselt, being an outsider, we arc lg norant of the principles and movements of the Know Nothings. We take it, that there has been for a long time, a good deal of corruption and tampering with the votes of aliens, espe cially by the Pennsylvanian and its party. This organization mav have been instituted to cure that enormous evil, and like all reac tions, its appearance may be more anomalous than its reality. It may possibly etlect a cure ot the evil, and if it is destined to act in that way, the conntry may yet owe it a Uebt ot gratitude, and our correspondent may see it in a different light. The author of the letter above is a Repabli can. vt e Know him to ue such, lie snouia not, therefore, permit the mere say-so of a newspaper like the Pennsvlvaman, conducted as it is by an officeholder of the General Gov ernment, to shake his faith in the good old doctrines for the success of which ho has fought shoulder to shoulder with us for many long years. Has he not read, in times past, in the same paper which he is now willing to receive as authority on the subject upon which he writes, some of the most vile and unfound ed slanders and falsehoods known to be such by him at the time upon Whig candidates for office ? W by then, receive its mere itse dixit now, as truth? Wc know Judge Pollock to be Whig to the back bone honest, trust-worthy and true opposed to the Nebraska rasealirj" in favor of the sale of the Public Works in -favor of an economical administration of the Govern ment, the development of the resources of our noble State, and opposed to the institution of slavery. These are some of the qualifications he possesses, and they are of themselves suffi cient tojeommand the vote of every honest w big in the State. Our friend must not suf fer himself to be led astray, by statem ents em enating from the opposition. Know-Nothing-ism will not injure him or any other individu al in like circumstances. No sane man sup poses that our Naturalization laws are to be repealed or essentially changed by the elec tion of a State Executive. Let him, therefore, vote for Judge Pollock, and thereby assist in eleviiting a .-staunch Republican to the Guber natorial chair. All the evils that mav appear in the distance are merely immnginary they will vanish into thin air, andean in no wise af fect him. Things to Remember. Free Democrats, remember that Governor Bigler advocated and signed a Bill granting the use of our Prisons, for the confinement of fugitive slaves; that be recommended an act permitting masters to carry their slaves through Pennsylvania; that he pardoned Albcrti the notorious kidnapper; that his official Journals in Phiiadelihia and Harrisburg are strongly in favor of the Nebraska-Kansas infamy; and that be has repeatedly said to leading Demo crats in Harrisburg, that he approves of the principles of that measure. Nebraska Democrats, remember, that on the day of his re-nomination, Speaker Chase heard Governor Bigler say, "Gentlemen, if the Democratic convention pass resolutions in lavor of the JSebraska Bill, it must nominate another candidate, for I will not endorse and run upon such a platform." Regular Democrats, remember, that when a Senator, Governor Bigler voted against the candidates nominated by the Democratic cau cus, for State Treasurer and State Printer ; and that he appointed James Campbell attor ney General, alter his rejection by the Democ racy of Pennsylvania, lie therefore has no right to Democratic votes. ,'lati-Jesuit Democrats, remember, that Gov ernor Bigler was the means of placing James Campbell at the head of the Post Office de partment; that be has appointed several of the same faith to important offices; and that he or his particular friends have selected Catholics to preside over all the Democratic State Con ventions, since he was elected Governor. Prohibitory Democrats, remember, that the two or three hundred thousand petitioners who have yearly importuned the Legislature for a Prohibitory law, have never been noticed in Governor Bigler's annual messages; that ho retains tho Lager Beer bill in bis pocket ; that he will not promise to sign a law the ex act provisions of which be has not seen ; and that his letter to the Prohibitory State con vention was not satisfactory. - Lager Beer and Liquor Selling Democrats, remember, that Governor Bigler has written a letter to the Dr. John Patrick, pledging him self to sign any constitutional Prohibitory Law that the Lcgislaiure may pass; and- that he has already signed three Lager Beer-bills, for Chester, Clarion, and apart of Tioga coun ties. Tax-payers, remember, that the expenses of theComuiouwealth during the second year of Governor Bigler's administration, nearly doubled those of the last year of Governor Johnston's term. Telegraph. Mi-rdeii of a Playmate ky a Little Boy. The Galena .Advertiser, of Aug. ;th, notes the fact that a lad named George Jackson, aged twelve years, was committed to jail in that city a day or two sinco, for the murder of a play mate, called Elias Horn, aged wixteen. Both boys were residents of Millville. The two went to Apple river together, and Jackson re turned alone. In answer to an inquiry for his companion, he said he was drowned. Search was made for the lody, and it was found that the deceased had been shot, the ball entering his mouth. Jackson now says he shot h in by snapping the gun at him, without knowing it to be loaded. His accusers think he killed him for a dollar and ten cents in his pocket at the timo of th lr;rodv. v OB LAND.

It was said of Greytown that most of the inhabitants were peculators, dis orderly ieioons ar.d niggers. Can that be de niedof Washington? I ask, why should Grey town be destroyed and Washington spared? Is the nose of an obscue chap like Borland of higher national importance than the Hat of our honored President? Sir, I offer the fol lowing resolution: "Rusolced, In view of . the enormity of the outrage offered to President Pierce by the City of Washington, that Secretary Dobbin should de directed to instruct' Conimonder llollins to proceed with the sloop-of-warCvane to that city, and to ojkmi upon it with all his guns for two hours, without intermission; and in case anything should then remain standing, to land a party of marines and burn and de stroy the residue and remainder, unless the authorities shall humbly beg pardon "of the President, and purchase for, him a new hat of such quality and cost as he shall select and approve." Smokel Out. The Rev. John Chambers has lieen smoked out at last. In his recent speech at Bedford, the reverend prelate boasted that be had a let ter in his breeches pocket from Gov. Bigler, avowing himself favorable to a Prohibitory Law, while at the same time the evidence was against him, from the fact, that the Governor's letter to the Temperance Convention, nroves him unfriendly to that measure. Since the notice of that politico-temperance lecture, loud and earnest calls have been made for the letter, and the Rev. gentleman has at length broken silence, and now we have a note from him in explanation. He recapitulates all be said up on that occasion, and candidly owns up to hav ing asserted that Governor Bigler was a firm friend of tiie temperance movement, and would aid sueh.a law as the prohibitionists de- Sire, to the extent of his abilities. lie also alludes to Bigler's great respect for the will of the people, which he (Bigler) considers only secondary to justice and right. Of that con vincing letter, which he had in his pocket at. the time the speech was made, he says noth-' ' ing. Its existence then was probably in his mum s eye, or was one ol the snort-lived tan sies of a fertile imagination; and it would. require the aid of a Spirit Rapper, or some other supernatural agency to cull it forth now into being. Instead of treating the public to the viands which this paper in common with other Whig papers requested him, this learned political di vine, with powers of moral locomotion which enables him to change his place like figures upon a chess board, treats us to quite a differ-- ent dish a dish to which be has. heretofore . been an entire stranger, ne delivers a violent tirade against the "Know Nothings," a socie ty, the principles of which he is of course ig norant, except from hearsay. In 1841, he was . on the other side of the hedge, persecuting lie Catholics, while their churches were in flames. Now he preaches constitutional rights and religious liberty to all, with a zeal which ' is absolutely pathetic. "Truly, time works wonders." A.XOTHER Cleegyman Made Crazy by Spir itualism Rev. John M. Spear's "New Era," Extraordinary Mcchiue of a Lunatia. The New Era. a spiritual papcr.publishesanarticieabont what is called the "Electrical Motor," or "New Saviour. "The Era speaks of its deep sat is fact hat the world is, bv and by, to bo blessed ion beyond conception by this physical Saviour, - through whose instrumentality a permanent . material basis shall be laid for true spiritual salvation. . . - The new "Saviour" is a machine which has been constructed at Lynn, Mass., by the Spir- ; tualists, which they claim to be semi-niechan- ical and semi-human. It has been denominu-; ted a "New Motive Power" and cost $2,000 to '" construct it. The New Era remarks that tho : Electric Motor is an exact cerreSpoudence of- he human body, at least as far as involuntary motion is concerned. It was constructed un der Spirit direction, and chiefly at Spear's ex- ' pense. In the New Era of July 5th, wc fiini . i vision had bv J. oleott, which aevelope.s . what is expected to be accomplished by this machine. It appeared to grow in size, 'and'" threw olffrom itself small machines after its ; own pattern" and these "m turn threw off a multitude of other hUle ones." men ue says ,-- "Next there appeard a movement among the machines, and the. larger ones, which were' now fully developed, moved away over the,: plain into the distance. Iu their path stood o ' great number of churches, of ever siza amtya-...-riety, from the diminutive Methodist Chapel " up to the stately Gothic Ministor and ' St." Paul's Cathedral. But the machines did not' -turn out of their course at all, running over and through those temples, completely de-.. molised them to heaps of worthless rubbish." How two Okgans Differ. The Washing- - ton Union, the President's central organ, .. claims for Mr. Pierce all the honor that is. to redound to the country from the NcbrasK:t' swindle. The Union says: '-""'"' "What opposition journal, North or South, jx has given him (the President) credit for Uio,, Nebraska' triumph, carried through from first "v to last as much by Ar ow energrlic cooperation ' ' with its friends in national legislature, as by ; any other cause?"
