' Fird. On Saturday evening last, about 8 o'clock", the people of cur town ,: were thrown into quite an excitement from a 'bright light easiof this place, and ringing of bells. IC was generally supposed that a house or ' barn'was on fire, but after repairing in ; the direction from whence the light proceeded; it " was soon discovered to be a board-pile, lying ontlid bank of the river, belonging to F. P. Ilnrx thal. They bud been hauled and piled there for the purpose of taking them to market ns soon as the river would raise. There were about one hundred and fifty thousand feet burnt to ashes. . : A'man, living in that neighborhood, by the name of Benjamin Lounsberry was taken up on suspicion of having set tiro to the boards, brought to town and tried. lie was held to bail in the sum ol $1000 for his appearance at Court. .

Now, that the election is over; and having resulted so gloriously, it is notfiing more than right and proper to refer to those whose labors, "aided to achieve so brilliant a victory. To'Jc -sure, the people of all parties contributed to the election of the Hon. James Pollock ; but we kn.ow'bT "uo oii'e who" labored more zealous ly for the success of Pollock, than Col. Cur tin, of Centre county, chairman of, the Whig State Central Committee. "Wc therefore ful ly endorse the following from the Phi la. Duihj Sews. . - , , Col. Clktix. We would do injustice to meritorious-services of an able and faithful Whig, if we were to withhold the meed of praise due to-Col." Curtin, tho indefatizable Chairman of the "Whig State Committee, for His gaiiant ana, noiae ocanng throuzhout the entire canvass, which has resulted in such a brilliant and unprecedented victory. Of all the duties ncrtaiuing to such a canvass, those of the Chairman of the State Committee, arc tne most arduous and embarrassing, requiring not only a great amount ol energy and perse verance,but sound tliscrction-nnd consummate - tact and skill. '- Col. Curtin so conducted the canvass as to avoid all show or parade, and to accomplish the greatest amount of good in .the shortest space' of time. Instead of following the ex- ' ample of the Chairman of the Loco Foco - State Committee, and keeping the columns of .. tho papers of his party nued with long addres ses from the opening until the close of the campaign, he confined himself to' two brief and pointed addresses, issuing one at the com- ; mencement, and the other at the close of the canvass. He adopted another and more effi cient mode of effecting a thorough orjraniza -tion, and ensuring success. . His aim was to serve his party, and promote the election of us canuiuaicgj ami ne aui not nesitate to take the steps most likely" "fri "accomplish the ob , jeet, though in doing so he could not make the display of himself in tho papers as Mr. Bonham did." The result attests the w isdom and correctness of his conduct, and the effi ciency of his labors as chief manager of the canvass. All honor to him for his luithfulaud efficient services. Editorial Correspondence.:?; r ; .; ;.. v Mount . Vkexon Uouse, ' Philadelphia, Oct. 28. y '. Dear Journal r--After a tiresome journey of four days, by way of Bellefonte, Lock; Haven, "Williamsport, and Milton, we find ourself seat ed in the comfortable parlor of the" Mount Vernon House, -amid the noise and confusion' of tho great city of Brotherly Love, indicting this epistle to our ovn chair5 '-away hack in Clearfield." Furnished, by our accommoda ting host 3Iaj. Barrett, with the morning pa pers, and surrounded with all the comfort and luxuries of this elegant house, wo feel perfectly "at home," and cannot avoid recom mending the Mount Vernon to our friends as the ne plus vlira of good ' hotels. Xo ' atten tion is spared, and no means left untried to render its guests comfortable, and consequent ly ' the nous'e is flourishing 'beyond the most sanguino expectations of its enterprising and gentlemanly proprietors." It is emphati cally a "Clearfield House,' and should receive the patronage of our citizens visiting the City, who desire 'comfortable quarter??" ' ' '"' " During our" journey', wc visited the Govern or elect, at Lis heme in MiTfon. If we admir ed Judge Pollock' as we knew him through the medium of the press, and the rcpresenta-: tions of others, that admiration is' increased almost to idolitry by an bours familliar inter course. Never before have we met a more perfect gentleman, nor conversed with oiic who exhibited such familiarity with all the great questions of the day , while his easy, un assuming manners, and unpretending deport ment, led us to believe we were conversing with tTic most intimate friend of our youth. He spoke of his election as a triumph' princi ples, as an American, not a "Whig vietorv. Of Governor Bigler he ypoke in terms of great re spect and esteem, regarding his defeat as the result of a combination bf now elements in the party politics-' of the country; and not the effect of personal dissatisfaction or dislike: To the people of Clearfield he " returned 'his grateful acknowledgements, for their confi dence and support of himself as the exponent of American -principles, while they had in the field one of the ir own estimable and worthy citizens. On iiie futnre cf Pennsylvania, and the course of his Administration, he 'convers ed in such a manner as' 'that we mav safelv prebict for him one of the most ' brilliant nd successful Administrations in the'-'historv of our Commonwealth-' We left him; prondthat cur labors and our -vote had been given-to a good man, a sincere - American," 'a' true heart ed Pennsylvanian, and art estimaMo citizen. Among the ntinres'spoken of for the speak ership of the next Ifonse, we hear 'mentioned that ofour friend David C. Boal, the-success ful American candidife: nr. Centre". ' We know of no one who woull.occujy the chair of John Ilaudcock, with more gracv;, ability, and dig nity than our friend David. Wc hope lie may be the man. ... The most excithig topic of .conversation among the politicians here, is ,the: contest for United States Senator. Of all the names men tioned, the claims of no one are more general ly allowed, than these of our friend Col. A. G. Custix. His brilliant, laborious and success ful services in the late contest, . as Chairman of the State Central Committee, together with his marked ability, and sound position on ail the groat questions c-f.the day, point to him as the man, ofidl others, best entitled to that distinguished position. That he has the best wishes of the masses of the party, there can be no" doubt, and' it is to.be hoped be will also stand as fair in the Senate and House.. . The case of Dr. Bk.vle, the Dentist, who was convicted yesterday of an attempt to com mit ;in outrage on the person of a young lady, while under the influence of Ether," creates a good deal of talk' in all circles of the city. An application lias been made for a new trial. Business ii still brisk.' The hotels are well 'filled,' and the city full of strangers. , Ned.

The Russian's have blocked - the entrance of. the harbor In sinking several largo ships, with all then: guns and rigging, but it is proposed by the allies to employ the Simoon, a powerful iron steamer, to act as a batteri-ng-ram, ami force a passage through tins sunken barrier. The remainder of the Russian fleet .pro also ready to be sunk iii the inuer harbor if there is danger of their being taken by the allies. Ten thousand men have been landed from these ships to assist in the defense of the. place. Admiral -Dundas has sent a similar reinforcement. to the allies from the British ships which have no longer anything to do.

On. the other hand al lied reserve had sailed from' Tarna must have reached the camp before; -Sevastopol before the loth, giving the allies at least live days to assail the . place- before the Russians could make any-grca.t. movement against them. In these five days there must have been a great deal of tremendous fighting. In Asia Shamyl has peon defeated by Prince- Andronikofr, who is again crowding tho .Turks and threatning Kars. Of Omer Paslas movements against Besserabia we have no news. The allied fleet in the Baltic is ofl Revel, but will probably do nothing this fall. . : The Austrian Government is supposed to be acting with the allies, and all ol them together are trying to force Prus sia into a more decided position, cither for or against the Czar. In consequence of this tho Prussian Prime ?din!ster, Menteu.Iel, has re signed, but was persuaded to.iemaiu in ollice; it is expected in" England that Prussia will give in and join the allhmce. The Yemains of Marshal St. A maud have arrived in France and are to be interred in the Invalides. The great hoax, of the Fall .of Sevastopol appears to have been a French invention, having origina ted at the Paris Bourse, From China we hear that ; Canton is still besieged, but that the re bels are advancing elsewhere. The cotton market has declined at Liverpool; wheat, and Hour have slightly impiovcd. ' Tiie. Struggle in Eansas. From the day that, the Kausas-Xebrask bill was clothed with the forms of law, we have done what we could to encourage' the emigra tion to Kansas of capable, energetic, indepen dent farmers and mechanics, who would en deavor to make, her a Free Territory and in time a Free State. Wc have never represen ted that region as a paradise, though we be lieve it contains very much .good land, enjoys a fair, mild climate, and lies on one of the great future highways of commercial inter course between Western Europe and Eastern Asia. AYe do not believe every one fitted to succeed in Kansas, and have uniformly dis couraged the migration thither of any- hilt res olute,, strong-handed workers,' who would be likely fo succeed' any where. And, though the false cry tliat the-.Uastcrn Anti -Slavery men were sending paupers into the new Ter ritories has been echoed through Missouri and along the' border until many believe it, we are confident that a letter ciass of immigrants, one more able to-sustaia'- itself, has never yet settled in any now country than that which has left New-York' and 'New-Englaml to uphold the .ig of Freedom in Kansas: ' '' From the d-iy Knnsas was organized to the present, we have hoard of no single act of out rage or rojjbery Iry ,iiny .member, of the Anti Slavery emigration. It has not even been al ledged by the' Missouri ' Pro Slavery journals that any person m their interest has been mo lested or menaced by any set tier from the East. Xo impediment has been offered to the freest influx of emigrants from the Slave States; no one has even pretended 'to' keep -away from apprehension?, of wrong or violence from our sort of people. " Xo meeting was ever held by Anti-Slavery . pioneers to denounce or deter immigration1 from the South. Yet, on the other hand, meeting after meeting has been held by Missourians, now on one side of the line, then on the other, at which violent and threatning resolves against Anti-Slavery im migration were passed, and every indication, of a settled purposed to crowd Slavery into Kansas, peaceably, has been given. "Pop ular Sovereignty," in the Missouri acception, is the sovereignty of the rifle ar.d bowie-knife; nd it is the arbitrameent- of these, and not of the ballot-box, that the Pro Slavery party in and near Kansas has constant!- invoked. We ;tg our readers to note" these facts: It js very plain that bloodshed iu Kansas is only to be avoided by extreme meekness and for bearance on the; part of Anti-Slavery men. We ask all to consider the state of incipient civil war already existing in Kansas, and judge whether Congress ought , to throw this fire brand of Slavery agitatioiV' into each new ter ritorv it mav organize. Is it not better to ainreiitec to every newly organized territorv a tn:ly Republican constitution, thus preclu ding the subjection of one man to another as a chattel, and allowing the st-Hlers to prs.'cni. their arduous labors in peace and harmony A". I. Tribune. , I . ; The American aad Foreign Population. The JersyCHyScwiit says, "it appears from the census that there aro seventeen; pi illions, seven hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred and five native born inhabitants in the United States, while there aro but two mill ions, two hundred and ten thousand, eight hundred and twenty-eight who were born iu foreign lands;" aud yet, strange as it may seem, a very large portion of the offices not only in the gift of the people, but iu the gift of the, present jiationril admini.stratjon.with not a few state administrations, arc held by for eigners. Even should wc admit their right to i proportion of these places of trust, in accord ance with their numerical strength, tho comp utation would fall infinitely far short of ths number of offices they now hold in this coun. try. Xow, we ask, if so small a quota of aliens have already wielded such an immense influ ence in the United States, as to secure a much larger portion of the offices of trust than Americans have meted out to themselves, (and in many instances have held the balance of power between the two parties, which thcy have sedulously turned to their own purposes, and to the advantage of Papal supremacy,) what -would be the state of things in this coun try five years hence, if uo cltecks were inter vened by the sons of the soil, against the un natural and monstrous inroads which have al ready been made upon our most sacred civil and religious rights, through our own misplac ed and much abused confidence in the thous ands of foreign born w ho have been welcomed to our shores 1 .' Wiry the consequences- could be better imagined thau described by the most prolific brain, or the pen of the most ready wrlter in the Union. ;'.- The editor of tin: Trenton True 2merictin jumps at the strange conclusion that because there are but deceit foreigners to every one hundred Americans born, there is no danger to be apprehended from that quarter, or from the causees which have already produced suchdis astrous results, not only in the body politic of our land and nation, but in. the body physical of no small portion of our countrymen, who were actually guilty of" exercising the rights and privileges of American citizens, as guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the Statea immunities which happen tq be at va rienee with the decrees of the Pope of Rome, and with the secret. plotthigs of his Jesuitical tools, whom ho sent here for tho purpose of robbing Americans of their inheritance, sub jugating the nation, and turning this glorious land of promise into a wilderness of woe, and i-harnal house bf the Devil. It will not do, Mr. Trenton American, to palm off such idle speculations upon the "natives," or, if yon like the term, better, upon "A wakened Ameri ca !" for though she is yet an infant ingrowth, when contrasted with other nations of the earth, yet she is "too old a bird to be caught with such chaff." It is worse than useless thus to attempt to daub her with "untcin pored mor tar ;" as !he is now probing the wound which has been inflicted upon her to the very core, and will not rest content till the cause of cor ruption is thorough- eradicated from the parts ellected. 'Facts are stubborn things!" aye! they are .stubborn, indeed, now-a-days. Xeed we point the editor of the I'nie.'lntcriata, and every oth er Locofoco editor in tiie laud, who sides with him in Jj.is anti-American, doctrines and dog mas we repeat, need we point these infatua ted repsentativc.s of thtf -Press, who appear to be frightened nf their "own shadow,' and In-gin to be "horrified at the phantom "Know Xotli ingism," to the unnumbered outrages upon Americans and American rights by misguided and deluded foreigners, which come teeming upon us from every part of the land, through the public prints which arc so frequent, that it is utterly impossible to keep track-of tlitmi, and so henious and unprovoked. in their char acter, as to cause Apollyon himself to blush at the thought that bis dominions are to be peo pled by such demons in human shape? Wo will just point to one instance nf those gros and insufferable interferences with our civil and religious ri.srhts. We allude to the late attempt of the German Roman Catholics at Cincinnati to prevent the Presbyterians from opening a Sabbath School of their persuasion in a location suited to their own convenience and purposes. Tell it not in America! pub lish it not in Rome, that in this laud of civil and religious freedom in the nineteenth cen tury Amkuicaxs have actually been forbid by foreigners to exercise privileges which would scarce bo denied them in heathen lands, and which both England aud France cheefully ex, tend them rights which arc theirs not only by inberitence but ly the laws of God and the true leadings of hi' Providence. But we forliear there is not sufficient descriptive powers in the English language to portray the enormity and reckless impudence of these degraded worship ers at the unhallowed shrine of Popery. Sun. Shocking jIi rber and Si icide near Xew BtrnGir,. X. Y. Ou the 22 inst., some of the neighbors of a man and his wile named Smith, who lived alout fonrmiles from Newburg, en tered the dwelling of Smith and found the wife dcid in her bed and the . lifeless- form of lior husband lying in a pool of blood on tho floor, with his throat cut from ear to car. But the strangest feature of this sad affair is that the body of the woman bore not the slight est mark of violence and appeared as though she" had fallen asleep in death; and what adds still more to the mystery is the fact that the neigiibors were in the house the evening pre vious and found both in their usual health. The persons who called upon theni state that Smith was usually rude iii manner and very blasphemous, and upon his wife's upbraiding him and telling him that she did not think his conduct a proper prcperation for the Sabbath, lie remarked that she need not worry herself about tint, as neither of them would ever spend another Sabbath in this world. .As it was his habit to make reckless speeches notli ing serious was thought of this expression, but the morning's, light revealed a scene that fully realized his fearful assertion. Coroner Farmenter, of Xewburg was summoned to hold an inquest over Ihe bodies on Sunday, but the rasult of the investigation we have not learned at the time of our going to press. It is supposed, however, that Smith adminis tered to bis wife some kind of poison which had an immediate .and deadly efiect. The affair is a mysterious one altogether. Police Gazette . . Jcsr So. The Xew'Albany (Ind) Tribune presumes that it is pretty well understood by th is time that the day has gone by when a man, and more especially a foreigner, can walk up to the polls, armed to the teeth, threatening to '"shoot any man who dare chalk ngft his vote," and not meet with the just punishment such conduct richlv deserves. - . 3 I -i m r.- Mi I! ; :.'-i i-, !( H?
