That sacred spot where drooping willows mark the tomb of the 'Father of his Country,' is about to be sold, and the question must now be decided whether it shall pass into the possession of a band of nnscrcpnlous speculators, or ; whether it ahall become the property of the American People.' Congress having long and oft refssed to purchase for the" nation the last resting place of our illustrious Washixgtox, it is in vain to hope that their "attention can now be directed to the mouldering bouse and neglect ed tomb ' But we are glad to see, that .while th'e men of our Country have turned coldly away from' the oft repeated , appeals to .their patriotism and gratitude, American Womex have resolved to preserve and adorn the-grave Of WASniXGTOX. . An Association of ladies has been formed for the purpose of raising funds for the pur chase of Mount Yernon, and already the larg esVpbrtion of the $200,000, the value fixed upon it by the present owner, has been con tributed. We have no doubt the entire amount will be raised, and w sincerely hope the ladies of Clearfield will" add their quota to the sum already collected. 'We suggest tbat some of the beautiful and enterprising . ladies of our village, go to work, raise what they can, "and remit it to Edmckd Wilcox, Esq.," 128 Ches nut St. Philadelphia, who is the Treasurer of thf PeDnsylTania Association. A Word to the Wise. We frequently hear our mechanics and business men complain that sonic of our citizens are if the habit of send ing to Philadelphia to purchase articles whicli are manufactured or sold at home, and that it is wrong thus to send the money out of the county, instead of spending it among our own Lpeople for the. mutual benefit of all concerned. This is true, and every'good citizen ought at ence to see the propriety of keeping up the home market, and enabling those to live, to whom he must, of necessity; look for help in the hour of need. But while those who thus complain, can so easily, see the mote that is in their brother's eye, they too often overlook the beam that is in their own.-- It-is-not long 'since" we heard this complaint made by a man who held in his hand, at the time, a Philadelphia paper. ' We asked him if he was a subscriber to either of his county papers, and he said he was not that he could get a city paper" for leas nioney lie forgot that we cau get the same articles he manufactures, in "the city" for less money. But this is not all. The same, man has a suit in our court,, and notwithstanding' thcro are some dozen of resident lawyers living around him, spending their money at home, where it will benefit their neighbors, ho has employed, to conduct his suit, two attornies from Belle fonte, and when he pnys them their fees, they will put the. money in their pockets, and carry it out Of the County. And yet this man ex pects .the resident printers and lawyers to patronize him, because be' lives among them 'and they ought to protect the 'home market.' ; 'It is a poor rule that wot' t work buthways,' and it . we expect to 'live,', we must also 'let live,' by. patronizing each other. For exam wben : the lawyer or printer, wants shoes, clothes, furniture, &c, he. should buy them of the shoemakers, tailors, and cabinet makers at home, and .not send abroad for them. - And just so, when the shoemaker, tailor, or cabi net .maker, want counsel or want a nowspajjer, they bhould obtain them at home without go ing to Bellefonte or 1 hiladelphia. If this rule was more generally adopted and observed, it would be productive of a vast amount of pro fit to every member of our community. , By supporting each other we will ; advance both our own good and the prosperity of all our fellow citizens. , -i-..-, A Word about 'Crowixg. Having waited paitently until our Locofoco friends, with their Roman Catholic cohorts, have got their 'crow' out, we should now just like to know what they've been crowing about T Is it because in this County their majority has been reduced, in two years, from seven hundred to 1hrte hun dred?' Or is it because we have ' elected an American Senator in this District, which was never before known to falter for the Democra cy ? Or do they find still greater'catrse tor re joicing over' the result in tfce State,' winch clearly demonstrates that the Locofoco Ad ministration party is in a hopeless ' inin&ritij and at the mercy of an opposition which waiits only uniLy of action, to be successful ? ' J - We are certainly at a loss to discover what reason our enemies have to rejoice over the result of an election that exhibits the follow ing state of tacts: First, that their candidate is in the minority some three thousand votes, and consequently that Pennsylvania is at this moment, opposed to the National Administra tion.' ' Secondly, that thougli they've polled, their whole vote, or in other words as large a vote as was polled for Bigler, when he was dei'eated, yet there : was nof , by nearly aixty thousand, as many votes polled; at this election, as there was at that time. ' Thus nearly sixty thousand voters stayed a homo at this election,' of whom, it is reasonable to presume, the larg est portion were opposed to the Administra tration. And yet our enemies call this a ri'c tory ! A few more : such "victories," and they'll "sing -dumb."

Dissolving tub Uxiox. The bugaboo threat of a dissolution of the Union, on the part of Southern newspapers and Southern politicians has lost 'all its lorce if it ever had any. The Richmond (Va.)

'.- Texas Rangers Bloody Battle ix Mexico It way bo remembered that some time ago a body of Texas Rangers, under the eocui.ind of Captain Callahan, were with the approba tion of the. Executive, mustered in . the west ern part of the S Stiite.- Tho ol jecl contem plated by them, was to i destroy ihe encnnijw ment of Lipan Indians on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, and to exterminate the warri ors ol that tribe, which had long infested their frontier murdering their' wives and children, and depred&ting upon onr property and sucli Mexicans and negroes as w ould be found allied with them. Captain Callahan, in an address to the peo ple of Texas, dated Eagle pass, the 4th inst., gives a narrative of the campaign. The Indi an camp, he had learned, was bituatcd about S5 "miles west of the river, near thet;ity of San Fernando, in the-State Tamunlipas. Towards ths 2nd inst., about three o'clock, in the . alters r.oon, and when within ten miles of San Fer nando the Indian camp lying on the other sido of tiwn they descried three horsemen approaching them from a mound of timber about a mile to the northward.: ."At first," says Capt. Callohan, (for we now quote his own language,) "these meu were not noticed, we supposing them to be herdsmen but on their approaching within two hundred yards of us we discovered them to be chief tains, ready dressed and painted for . battle ; and they were evidently striving to decoy us from our position. Forming my. men into a line along the road, I waited for them to begin the battle, for by this time large numbers of them had emerged from the timber, -seemingly with the intention of attacking us; they soon spread out in front of us, and to our right and left, to the amount of several hundred horsemen, and commenced to fire onus. About this time one of my men fired upon a chief, two hundred yards distant, and broke a leg of his horse. Perceiving that the enemy, coin posed -of Indians and Mexicans, were trying to outflank us, I ordered my men to charge, which was executed in fine style, and thirty of the enemy, were slain. . .'.-: - While making our charge, the left flank of tho enemy, which extended fur nearly, half a mile, came in on our rear and opened on ns a very severe fire, during which four of our gal lant men were killed. The front and right on which we charged, after a gallaut fire, fled be fore us,' leaving us in possession of the posi tion which it was our object and determination to gain. ' . ; Then we. discovered that our enemy num bered some 0 or 700, and their footmen wore concealed in tho timer, rind had not advanced in view on the prairie. My men formed in a strong position lieneatli the - bank of a small creek, on which the enemy had been encamp ed, and their whole fo:.ce coming.up against us, we continued the bjttle for about' three hours, when they fled in th direction of San Fernando, leaving, as we heard this evening, some 85 killed, and with the loss of one hun dred wounded. ' This we learn from some Mexicans who were engaged in the battle, and from other scources since my report to his Excellency ,the. Don. E. M. Pease. The same Mexicans have also informed me .that the actual number of our enemy was seven hundred and fifty mtn: I "After the retreat of the enemy, which was about dark, we, supposing-., that they would come on us again before day,, with large rein forcements, fell back to the Rio Grande, where we would be sal frem any number of men, arid any quantity of artillery they m-ght bring aguinjst us. .'" . , - , -.. - . ., Approaching the town of Piedras Ncra.s about suniitse. we took possession of and now occupy a position opposite Eagle Pass, on the west bank of the Rio Grande.

The sketch of his life, which has just been published, alludes to a scene at Havre de Grace, immediately after Mr. -Wise and Mr, Menifee had spoken : . , "Prentiss was shouted for, and came up as he always did, nothing t flecting him like a courser in perfect keeping.

A number of citizens interfered ..with his effort to forcibly carry off the colored man, and demanded of him by what authority .he' made the arrest, 'which he 'refused, staling that he acted under tho laws of Congress, and cursed the laws of Pennsylvania.- Not being in possession of the . requisite authority for carrying off" the negro, he was , permitted to run at large. A warrant was tlieni issued for the negro catcher, which was served, and the defendant bound over in the sum of two thou sand dollars for his appearance at this term of our Court.

The rv.port'of the lust of the three hun dred sympathetic guns has died away in the dim distance, and the grand Te Deum, which awakened the echoes of the old cathedral isles, is over. During the live long day the blood of Sevastopol's slain has been remeinliered in claret, and the glorious charge of the Allies, in the charges therefoi. A great day down town was yesterday, and unique were the re joicings. But the allies of the Allies had it all to themselves.. The ships in port: (with but few exceptions) refused to honor the occasion by a display of bunting, and up town stood a loof. Sturdy draymen drove their drays about as if nothing rem-irkable had taken place, and as if Celt and Saxon had not the slightest in terest in the gloiifieitions going o.i. At eve, when the vesper chime rang out its tintiuabulations on the- startled air, crowds gathered around the old cathedral, and rush ed within it, with eyes agape, and ears eager for melodv. There, over and jn front of the flower-wreathed alter, the allied flags hung iu honored place, while far m the back ground was that banner, for the nuking d" which Freedom,. ' - i - . . tore the azure robe of night . And set its stars of g'ory there."' Aisles, .pews and jralleries were all filled when the ceremonies of the- evening commenc ed, and for the first time, the old Cathedral or gan gave voice to England's national anthem. Afterwards, an address in French was deliver ed, but we were at too great a distance to judge of enthusiasm displayed, save by the gestures of the orator. - u hen tire address was closed the chanting of the Te Deum commenced ; and grand, glorious and majeatic it was, in its march of solemn sounds ! The music was a treat, even to those who have no sympathy for the ciuse which called it forth. - - . . " The eculiar display, of fligs, and the Te Deum chanted in the old Cathedral, have some thing reminiscent in them. Time was some foTfy years- ago when, in that same Cathe dral of St. Louis, "2'c Deutn laudamus" was sung, because "the meteor flag of England" had been humbled on Chalmette-'s plain. Since then, how things have changed ! Before that time, too, Te Deitms had been chanted for the success of Spanish arms, and then again for those of La Belle France. What cause shall claim the oblation next? From Washington. Nothing has transpi red in relation to the negotiations pending in London in regard to the Central Ameitcan dis pute. But the questions heretofore in dispute, have assumed a new aspect, and Mr. Buchan an is charged .with their adjustment, under new instructions.' The President's Message, at the opening of the new session of Congress, will of course set this subject fully before the country, and perhaps he may in that docu ment, be able to announce its satisfactory ad justment. ' - The result of our complaints against the British Government on account of the viola tion of our neutrality by recruiting men in our limits for service in tiie Eastern war, is not yet known.' " Of course1 our government has made a strong remonstmnce, and- demanded redress. So far as MriCrampton is concern ed in this matter, his position here is ns yet in no way affected. No demand has been made for his recall. The fact in relation to him is simply that this Government have morally convicted him: of part cipation in an offence against our laws and sovereignty. Wu have, of course, demanded of the Brit ish Government redress for tho offi-ncc com mitted by their officers, and we leave it to tho British Government, as they please, to dis claim or to assume Mr. Crampton's acts. If they disclaim his act, and say that he acted without due'authority, and from an excess of zeal in her niajesty'ii service, they will proba bly punish him by a compliance with his long deferred desire of promotion to a higher and more EfT.ieable situation than Washington; with which disposition he will of course be content; if she eonffirm and approve his act. we can havo no complaint against him, and must settle the question as we best can, with the .British 'government. , If that government persists in' the" same offence, and with the co operation of its Minister and Consuls, it would involve a tetmination of diplomatic and con sular functions in the United States. But the British government will probably explain the matter and give assurances against the repe tition of like ; offences. Iu any event, Mr Crampton will no doubt be speedily transferred to some other post. rTiiE- Missixo Eroxabt.' The Cincinnati rime says that on the 3d inst., a number of persons in that city plainly saw a balloon iu the air, w hich, by "a powerful glass, was dis covered to be a wreck, and infers that it may have" been tho balloon of the missing aironaut, Winchester, who made an assension at Nor walk,Ohio, on the 2d inst., and has not bince been heard of. The mystery involving Lis fate has excited a wide spread interest and cu riosity, which possibly may never be satisfied. The most plausible explanation is that be prob ably fell into Lake Erie, over which ho was last seen, and that his balloou afterwards wan dered uncontrolled through space till Its gas wasexpended. ' ' ' ' - ' 1 "Thb Successor of Henry Clay." i"uch is the title which some Pemociatic journals give to Senator Dixon, of Kentucky, who has just announced his having joined the Dcnio cratic. ranks. Of course partizan journals are to bepaidoned lor endeavoring to magnify the importance of tha persons deserting from the opponents, but in this instance the title be stowed upon Senator dixon is singularly inap propriate. Mr. Dixon is a senator from Ken tucky, and so was Henry Clay, but there the similitude ceasea. Mr. Clay was the author of the Missouri Compromise. Mr. Dix on was the author of its repeal. When senator Douglas introduced the Nebraska bill, it did not pro vide f. r the repeal ofths Missonri Compromise. Mr. Dixon introduced an amendment express ly repealing that great measure of pacification, and this was at lenghth accepted by Mr. Dou glas Mr. Dixon originated the Tepcal.: What ever praise or blama attaches to it belongs to him ; hut it is difficult, to see how lie can be the successor of nenry Clay; "whose only po litical act of note is the undoing ol that which constltated the greatest triumph of the genius and eloquence of Clay. The illustrious Ken tuckian has handed down ids name as peculi arly identified with that compromise. His career was that of a pacificator, aud in this line Mr. Dixou makes no pretence whatever to folow him. Ilis policy in the Senate has beeo thoroughly iniiucal to that of Henry Clay. Ha may a t on' the same piece of wood in the cap itol which once held Clay, but as to a success to Henry Clay pho ! S'orUt Jlmer. Irish and German Know Nothixos. No set of men on the face of the earth have been more rigid and unyielding Know Nothings at home than the Irish and Germans - who' have come to our country since the last republican f.iiluv in Europe.- For what did Daniel O'Conncirfceep ii p" peaceful hoslIlTtIes"(fo ue an Irish bull) against the British Government, lor thirty years, but Tor the right ft Irishmen to control the destinies of Ireland ? And lor what was the rash and imperfect rebellion of 1818 ventured upon, by O'Brien, Mitchell and Meagher, but to enable the Irish to rule their own country And what was the secret of the Hungarian Revolution Was it not to rid that unhappy country of Austrian rule, arid brinsr it under the government of the sons of the soil I And the Italian revolution Vanie net for what wai that undertaken?, Clear ly like the others. It was to enablo natives to shape their own laws free from any foreign control. As the Irish and Germans are thus shown to have been rigid advocates of the principles of Know Nothingism in their own native lands, it is truly miraculous to find them taking the opposite ground here, and raising up in bloody rebellion against tho claims we Americans set up to rule America. Why can they not. show some consistency ? Why will they not concede to us the riht for which they entered npon a revolution to se cure to themselves at home ? J Let every A uierican Democrat propound these questions to the Foreign Democracy, and he will con fuse and perplex them, though be may fail to bring them ov.;r to the tru2 f tith. 3ilt. Clip. .

Tim high price of poor' wood, and the almost total absence ol" good, renders the use of coal a iw.itterof econ omy. Hence anylhiug relating to the manner of burning this precious mineral will be of ser vice to some 'if not all our readers- An Al bany paper says : '"There has been a great deal said and written on the true principle ol burning coal. The ait of, burning coal is not yet properly understood as is ought to be. -Too much coal is usually placed fu the stove, by which the draft is destroyed,, and gatses are imperfectly consumed. Stoves should be constructed with air-tight doors, and means, of eupplying'air to the top of the coal fire as well as the bottom. The feed-door should never be opened except to supply fuel. ; Whon open., of course cold air rushes in and cools the sides of tho stoves, wasting coal. . When t.oomuch aii gets in at the ' draft-door and ash-pity the' draft is so strong, that either your stove be comes to hot, oi you open the feed-door to correct the evil losing heat. When no air is supplied" to the top of the fire, about half of your coal escapes as vapor of carbon, unburn -ed for want of air, without which,' combustion cannot be perfect. -Small fiaes should be in the stove, to admit a stream of air heated, by contact with the. stove,, and distributed to mix with, the gas on the top of the fire v'. ' A Presidential Programme. Washiugtosi letters state that tho Presidential programme is already arranged, so far as the Democracy is concerned. It is as follows." It is neces-. sary for the South, in order to sncceed, to car ry Pennsylvania, . This, it is believed, can be done with a Pennsylvania candidate, and Messrs. Buchanan and Dallas are fixed upon as the men, awl the' Democrats of Pennsylva nia are to choose between theml Iu this con test Mr. Buchanan is expected to be the ; win ner, and it is asserted that re , is already, sure of moro than half the delegates. Either of these gentlemen aro expected to be. ' entirely subservient to southern interests. AH the. other northern . States are to bo given up. , Pennsylvania is to stultify aid degrade her-: self for tho sake of the offices aud patronage. There is a hitch in this arrangement, however. The people may refuse to ratify the bargain. There is a steady advance of light ou the sub ject of the encroachments and designs of sla very, and Pennsylvania may finally emancipate herself by the next election! If the opposi tion forces can -be cordially united' this will most certainly bo the case. All tho energies of honest nin, who have the real good of the country at heart, should be bent to effecf th.is purpose.
