S. B. ROW, EDITOR AS1 PROPRIETOR.
CLEARFIELD, PA., JAN". 0, 1858.
1858. In commencing this new year, we
will speak a few plain words to our patrons.
Jt is now two years since the present proprie
tor took possession of the Journal office. Du
ring that period we have, we believe, missed
issuing but two numbers. All must, there
fore, acknowledge that we hare been punctual.
How has it been with our subscribers ? Some
bare paid us promptly. We thank them for
it. Many hare, howerer, been very remiss.
For example, take Clearfield and Curwensville.
Persons receiving their papers at these places
eee ns frequently ; and yet many never think
worth while to even inquire abont their ac
counts, though some have been punctual in
paying. On subscription alone, there is as
much due ns from those lifting the Journal
in the places named, as would pay our paper
bill, which is not light, for an entire year. We
hope these interested will immediately come
forward and make amends for their former re
icissness. There is, perhaps, no class of the
business community which feels more sensi
bly than the proprietors of public journals the
effect j of the derangement ol the currency, and
other consequences of the present money pan
ic, which still embarrasses the whole country.
Under a certainty of this fact, we feel that no
una of our readers will take exception to the
request, that every one who knows himself to
be indebted to this establishment, and is in
circumstances to afTrd it, will forthwith re
mit to ns the amount of his indebtedness, or
at least a portion of it.
Ix Trcble. Com. Paulding, who arrested
Gen. Win. Walker, in Nicaragua, has got him
self into trouble about the matter. The Ad
ministration at Washington censures him for
having, as they contend, violated his instruc
tions. They say he was only directed to ''vi
gilantly watch and promptly intercept any il
legal expeditions bound for Nicaragua," and
not ordered to land on a foreign soil and use
the flag and force of the United States to cap
ture a man absolutely beyond the jurisdiction
of cur laws. On the other hand, Capt. Chat
ard, of the Saratoga, is found fault with for not
arresting Walker before he landed. Paulding
Id a dispatch to the Government, explaining
his arrest of Walker, reads the Administration
a sharp lecture on the enforcement of the neu
trality laws, and plainly intimates that the of
ficers of Government have been very derelict
of duty in allowing party after party of "out
laws" to leave "our shores for the purpose of
rapine and murder." In the meantime, Walk
er has been released, and we wouldn't be sur
prised to bear of Com. Paulding being court
luartialcd.
The Moemos War. Brigham Tonng has
written a spicy letter to Gov. Alexander, the
new Executive recently sent to Utah by the
President. Brigham commands the Governor
to marshal his troops, and leave the Territory
without delay, and profiers hint the necessary
aid to do so, if aid be reqnired. He says, it
can be of no possible benefit to waste treasure
and blood in efforts to exterminate his people,
inasmuch as they understand their own posi
tion much better than they can learn it from
their enemies. The President comes in for a
full share of invective, and he declares that
"if Washington was now living, and at the
helm of our government, he wonld hang the
administration as high as he did Andre, and
that too with a far better grace, and to a much
greater subserving the best interests of the
country." Brigham seems in earnest, and
with the five thousand men he has mustered
into service, may yet cause considerable blood
shed before he can be dislodged from his pres
ent position.
Asd Desvfh, too! General Denver, the
new acting Governor of Kansas, it is affirmed,
has declared openly his approv&l of the course
f Walker and Stanton, and that the Admin
istration is mistaken if it supposes he will not
follow their example. At the urgent request
of a large party of Free State men from Law
rence, Governor Denver has given up to them
the arms taken by Governor Geary during his
administration, from the large body of immi
grants who reached Kansas by the northern
route. What will Buchanan think of all this !
P-ACinc Wagox Road. Lieut. Bealo, in
charge of the expedition to establish a wagon
road from Fort Defiance to the Colorado river,
has announced to the War Department his ar
rival in California, and the establishment of a
fine road over the whole distance. The sue
cess of the expedition has been expedited in
a great measure by the use of the camels, at
tached to it, which art; subjected to trials that
no other animals could endure.
Letters from Kansas state that the militia
law ,which was passed over Mr. Stanton's veto,
is inoperative on account of the failure of the
officers to certify to its second passage. The
bill repealing the act which created the Con
vention shared the same fate, as did also the
repeal of the rebellion act.
President Buchanan is aid to approve
strongly of Commodore Paulding's letter, and
to condemn tho morality of the filibuster en
terprise, while ou the other hand the Southern
majority in the Cabinet disapprove of the
Commodore's act.
.FKOM KANSAS.
Civil Wau Kagisg ViotrscE asd Blood
shed. Kansas dates to the 24th, received by
the St. Louis Democrat, say that civil war is
raging in Bourbon county. Several conflicts
have occurred between the Free State and
pro-slavery men, and a number of prisoners
have been taken on both sides. The United
States marshal, with a force of 80 men, de
manded the surrender of the Free State party,
but the demand was answered by a volley of
mnskct balls.
The fire was returned, and the fight lasted
for an hour, when the pro-slavery party re
treated, with the loss of one . killed and two
mortally wounded. The. marshal was danger
ously injured.
Gen. Lane was entrenched at Sugar Mount,
and was determined to fight the dragoons if
attacked. A battle was regarded as inevitable.
Exciting debates had occurred in the Law
rence Free State Convention. The commit
tee on resolutions had presented three reports
The majority report disapproves of voting for
State officers; the first majority report re
commends the nomination of a full State ticket,
and the second recommends a participation in
the election for the purpose of destroying the
Lecompton constitution. That no man be
nominated who refuses to pledge himself to
crush it. That the Topeka constitution be
submitted to the people, and that loyalty to
that instrument be made the test of fealty to
the Free State party. That the Legislature
repeal the present code of laws, &c. The
most radical revolutionary speeches were
made.
"The Defection of Douglas. " Under this
head the Richmond South, a radical pro-slave
ry paper, in its issue of the 12th Dec. devotes
a column of denunciation to Senator Douglas,
commencing the article thus :
Wc are no longer allowed to entertain
a doubt of Senator Douglas's determination
to abandon the Democracy and enlist in the
service of the Black Republican party. In
his speech of last Wednesday, he not on
Iv reproached the President with the ut
terance of radical and essential error in the
Message, but distinctly declared himself
champion of the Llack Republican inter
ests in the Kansas controversy. Of course
tLis apostacy was greeted with the unaffected
applause of the party to which the Senator
from Illinois so suddenly transfers his allegi
ance. Seward and Hale bore the most con
spicuous part in the ceremony of initiation,
but all Pandemonium welcomed the lost spirit
with an energetic grasp of friendship, while
hallelujahs resound from every anti-slavery
paper in the hireling States. W e cannot af
fect indifference at the treachery of Senator
Douglas. He was a politician of considerable
promise. Association with Southern gentle
men had smoothed down the rugged vulgar!
ties of his early education, and he had come
to be quite a decent and well-behaved person."
This is the way the Southern fire-eaters talk.
So long as a man will consent to do their bid
ding, they will fawn upon and flatter him
But let him, as Judge Douglas has done in re
gard to the Lecompton Constitutional swindle,
take a positicn against an attempt to crush the
will of the majority, if it does not happen to
meet their views, and immediately he is villi-
fied and abused by them, and must needs be
told that only by his "association with South
ern gentlemen" had he "come to be quite a
decent and well-behaved person."
The Democracy of Chester Col.ntv. The
West Chester Republican, one of the most ef
ficient aud earnest democratic papers in the
Commonwealth, refuses to sustain the Presi
uent s views on the Kansas question, ana in
this it fully represents the feelings of the par
ty to which it is attached in Chester county
the democracy there being unwilling to fo!
low an administration which seeks to endorse
the Lecompton swindle, after it had, througl
its agent, Governor Walker, solemnly promis
ed that the whole Constitution should be sub
mitted to the people. The' are unwilling to
see slavery forced futo Kansas, even by the
President whom they supported, against the
will of nine-tenths of the residents of that
Territory. Speaking of tho sentiments of the
people on the subject, it says:
"We have made dilligcnt inquiry in this
community to ascertain how the democrats
stand on the proposition to submit the Le
compton constitution to the people of Kansas,
and thus far we have found or heard of, but
seven straight out men in favor of submitting
it in the form suggested by the convention
that framed it ! The enabling act of Mr.
Douglas is concurred in on all sides. The
oldest and the steadiest friends of Mr. Bu
chanan, in this part of his former Congres
sional district, while entertaining for him an
unabated regard, are nevertheless firm in their
views, that nothing less than the submission
of the entire constitution can fulfil the pledges
of the democratic party. The thoughtful and
hard working masses are universally for popu
lar sovereignty, as defined by Judge Donglas."
A Novel Affair. A donation visit was
given to the Rev. D. A. Magie, of Boouton,
A . J., on Thursday 24th Dec. A barrel of
flour and a fat pig being tendered to him, pro
vided the ladies would draw it thither, it was
accepted, and in the afternoon, twenty ladies,
preceded by a brass band, placed the provis
ions on a lour wheel truck and drew it to the
parsonage, amid the applause of all the vil
lagers, who turned out en masse to witness the
spectacle. About $150 was also contributed.
The people in the South are much excited
by the arrest of Fillibuster Walker, and are
determined to fight somebody. Lots of vol
unteers were going to Nicaragua, and there
was a deal of swearing because of Commodore
Paulding's interference.
Senator Garlington, of South Carolina, es
timates the loss sustained by the South from
the depression of the market for cotton, in
consequence ot the late commercial crisis, at
more than $70,000,000.
Chancing Ground. The New York Jour
nal of Commerce, heretofore a strong Free
Trade paper, has changed its position and
come out in favor of a tariff that will protect
the manufacturing interests of our country.
The Old Fraud Over. Johnson County,
Kansas, gives 2000 majority for Slavery," it

MostcomertCouxty. TheEpisccpalChurch
at Norristown was robbed on Monday night of
last week. The thieves get a quantity of the
church furnitnre. the bible, the communion
table cover, and other articles to the value of
from fifty to one hundred dollars Anoth
er horrible murder was perpetrated in Upper
Marion township, on the loth ult. Robert
Smith, a depraved Irishman, has been guilty
of cruelly and brutally killing his wife. No
one saw him commit the deed, but screams
were heard during the night, and when the
noighbors repaired to the house, they found
Mrs. smith in a dving condition, bhe appear
ed to have been murderously beaten. uShe
died in a few momenta after being discovered
bv the neighbors. A post mortem examina
tion was made and the opinion was that' the
deceased came to her death from bruising and
beating. Smith had a hearing and was com
mitted to prison.
Beaver Coixtt. The dead body of an in
fant was found on the morning of the 18th
inst., at M'Donalds Ferry opposite Economy,
wrapped up in linen cloth. An inquest was
held by James Irons, Esq ; the jury expressed
it as their belief that it was an illegitimate
child, and had been drowned to hide the shame
of the mother James Allison, employ
ed in Woodiow's Grist Mill, near Frankfort,
while engaged in unshipping a pair of burrs,
was caught between the trunnel and crown
wheels, and most frightfully mangled. His
left leg was ground into small pieces, and bis
breast almost wholly severed from his body.
It is supposed that he died instantaneously.
The deceased bore an excellent reputation ;
was about 45 years of age, and leaves a wife
and two small children. It is only about five
vears since Mr. John Rallston lost hi life in
the same mill, under nearly similar shocking
circumstances.
Isdiaxa. Coustt. The Methodist Church
in West Lebanon caught fire on the 21st Dec
The fire originated from the stove pipe and
burned between the ceiling and roof; it being
a flat roof the want of air saved the church.
. . . . Joseph M"Coy while on his wav from
West Lebanon to Indiana on the 21st, was rid
ing a wild horse, and it ran against the fence
and cut his lace most horribly ; he went on to
Indiana, and Dr. Hilderbrand dressed bis
wounds. He is doing well.
Clabiox Coc.nty. A Mr. Mohney, who re
sided near Reimersburg, was kicRed in the
stomach by a horse from the effects of which
he died in less than twenty-four hours. He
was walking along conversing with a person
on horseback, when to avoid the worst part of
the road be crossed over behind the horse
when the animal kicked him. He suffered
most excrutiatingly until death came to his re
lief. Truly "in the midst of life we are in
death."
Uacphix Corsrv. A valuable black mare
was stolen from the stable of Mr. Zarker, a
bout 1 mile lelow Ilarrisburgh, on the 1st inst
A reward of $30 is oflered for its recovery with
the thief Some evil disposed persons
broke into the fetate Arsenal on the 1st, and
plundered the State of a lot of "munitions of
war," consistinjof sabres, &c. .No clue has
been obtained which will lead to the detection
of the perpetrators of the act.

Interestic Statistics for 18-37. From
number of statistics, published in the New
1 ork Herald, we glean the following:
During the year 1837 there were 227 fires in
the United States, where the loss at each was
over $29,000. The total loss is estimated at
$15,792,000, against$21,159,OOOinl8-3G. The
number of lives lost .it fires this rear was 158
last year 173.
Number of steamboat accidents this year.
6; lives lost, 322, and 76 wounded. Last
year there wore 29 accidents, 358 killed and
I'll wounded.
Number of railroad accidents, 126; persons
killed 130; wounded, 530. Last year there
were 143 accidents ; 195 were killed, and 629
wounded.
During the present year 20 revolutionary
soldiers have died, as have also 25 persons of
one hundred vears of age and over.
The United States are composed of thirty
one states ana nine lerntories. They con
tain a population of 27,000.000, of whom 24,
000,000 are whites. The extent of sea coast
is 12,550 miles. The length of the ten prin
cipal rivers is 20,000 miles. The surface of
the five great lakes is 90,000 square miles
The number of miles of railroad in operation
is 20,000, which cost $70,000,000. The length
of canals is 5,000 miles. Within her borders
are 80,000 schools, 500 academies, 2-34 col
leges, and 3,800 churches.
A Sharper. The Hartford Times tells of
a man who objected to having Christmas bough
taken from bis farm, and demanded $5 of the
ladies who were dressing a church. It was
finally settled by the pastor offering to marry
him for nothing it having been ascertained
that he was preparing for that interesting event
which was agreed to, and the controversy en
ded.
Very True. Gen. Cass, in his reply to
Gov. Walker's letter of resignation says
"Your resignation is accompanied by a long
argument on the affairs of the Territory gen
erally, to which you are well aware U mould be
impossible for the Department to reply." That
is an honest confession, and complimentary to
the sagacity of the venerable Secretary -
Good Living in Minnesota. Mrs. Swiss-
helm, formerly editress of the Pittsburg Sat
urday Visitor, sends from ber new home at St.
Cloud, Stearns county, Minnesota, to that
paper, the following appetising picture of the
plentcousness and cheapness of "creature
comforts" in that region :
"There is a very good snpply of cattle here,
and the beef killed off the prairie is quite
equal to any stall-fed I hare ever eaten.- This
is selling at ten cents a pound all round ; line
venison at fourteen lor haunches and ten for
fore quarters ; rabbits, twice as larg-j as in
Western Pennsylvania, for ten cents apiece.
Pigeons 1 grew tired of, and pheasants 1 care
nothing at all about. Wild ducks and prairie
hens are delicious, and we have had a very
fair supply. But the fish Mr. M., with two
others, speared fish two hours last spring, and
his share of the proceeds was something over a
barrel of cleaned fish, principally pike and
pickerel. In half an hour I caught three
bass, so mucn aliKe one coma scarce distin
guish them, and each wanting from two to
three ounces of four pounds. The whole face
of the country is interspersed with lakes and
rivers teeming with nsh.
"The finest flour is selling in St. Paul at six
dollars a barrel. A team can go from here
and return with a load in four days, aud about
every second family has a team. There has
been abundance of work for mechanics all the
summer, at three dollars a day, and laborers at
two. Squashes have grown, since the grass
hoppers left, to weigh sixty pounds, and have
sold for less than the twentieth part of a cent
for a pound. Henry Swisshelm went up Sank
river two miles last week, lor a load of pota
toes, stopping at every house in a region where
every one hundred and sixty acres lias its
claimant. He found no family profess to have
less than two thousand bushels in their cellar,
while some had five, and no one would sell a
bushel holding on lor high prices in the
spring. He got what he wanted next day on
the street at fifty cents, and others have pur
chased at fortv."
Discharge of Gen. Walker. The Wash
ington Union of the 80th, announces Walker's
arrival and discharge as lollows: "We learn
that Captain Rynders, the United States Mar
shal for the Southern District of the State of
New York, arrived in this city last evening,
accompanied by Gen. William Walker, the
leader of the A icaragnan expedition. In the
course of the evening the Marshal called upon
the Secretary of State at the State Depart
ment, having General Walker in his custody,
and informed him that he had received a com
munication from Commodore Paulding an
nouncing the arrest of Gen. Walker for cai
rying on an unlawful military expedition a
gainst Nicaragua, and that the latter had
promised, upon his honor, to surrender him
self to Captain Rynders, as Marshal of the
Sonthern District of New York, upon his ar
rival in that city. General Walker had done
so, and Captain Rynders had accompanied him
to Washington to ascertain the views of the
Government. The Secretary of State replied
that the Executive Department of the Govern
ment did not recognize General Walker as a
prisoner; that it had no directions to give con
cerning him; and tnat it is. only through the
action of the judiciary that he could be law-
fullv held in custody to answer onv charges
that might be brought against him. The Mar
shal then informed General Walker that he
had no authority to hold him in custody any
longer, and tho two gentlemen immediately
withdrew."
Strange Story. Last winter a lad named
Sage was missing, in Connecticut, and a man
named A ngent arrested as hi3 murderer. A
body was found in the Connecticut river with
out a head, supposed to be young Sage, from
marks on the body, and portions ot the clothes.
Some months after, a sailor, named Benson,
returned from sea and confessed that he saw
Nogont kill the lad, whom he described, and
helped put him in the hay mow. A true bill
was found, and N ugent was about to be tried,
when the boy Sage turned up in Pennsylvania,
not dead at all. Now the questions are. Did
Benson see Nugent kill any one? Whose
body was found in the river? and How did
Benson come to guess so well at voting Sage.s
appearance and clothing which he described
exactly ?
A Terrible Fate. A terrible occurrence
took place recently at a gentleman's bouse
near Wimborne, Dorsetshire, where a pack of
lox-.iounds are kept. '1 he dog-feeder, hav
ing beard the dogs fighting in the night, left
his bed, and, without dressing, went down to
try to part them. They fell upon him and
tore him to pieces, and then ate him. The
whipper-in could not make out next day what
had become of the poor fellow, until he went
into the kennel, and there he found his head
and one of his legs only, the rest being eaten
by the hounds. English paper.
AMouss in a Child's Stomach. A few days
ago, a child named Tomlinson, of Green Lane,
Sulcoats, N. Y., died after a lingering illness.
It appeared that in May last, the child passed
a full grown mouse, minus its head. The
mouse had run down the child's throat while
playing in a field near Stone Ferry, where the
parents then resided. After that time the
child continued ailing more or less until its
death, the immediate cause of which was sup
posed to be diarrhoea.
The Kentucky Legislature. The editor of
the Bardstown Gazette, writing from Frankfort,
says that the Legislature of that State "is
composed ot fine looking, well dressed and
well behaved men, and that among the whole
number there arc but five druukards, and only
eight or ten fools a smaller number than was
ever counted in any previous General Assem
bly." There are now seven women in Pennsylvania,
under sentence of death for murder. Of late
years, it has been customary in Pennsylvania,
in case where women have been sentenced to
death, for the Governor not to name a day of
execution, and thus, virtually, tne sentence is
one of imprisonment for life.
The St. Louis Evening Xeu-s, the State
organ of the American iartv in Missouri.
openly approves of the armed movements of
incrree state men in Kansas. It publishes
an editorial headed "Civil War i n Tv nn qfi-B-
TtS Righteousness Let the People Arm for
nesisiance.
The slogan of the Democracy a short time
since was, that "the negro bad no rights the
white man was bound to respect." Mr. Bu
chanan has improved cn this, and enunciates
the doctrine that "the majority have no rights
which the Democracy ought to respect."
Progress of St. Paul. In 1851 Burbank &
Co.'s Express carried the whole express freight
in the pocket of the messenger. In 1857,
during seven months, it brought $3,440,000
to St. Paul, and in the same period took out,
$2,007,000 in currency and specie.
The prospect is, from tho emptiness of tho
Treasury, that Congress will restore the duty
on Iron, Wool, Cotton, Fabrics, &c, thrown
off last winter, in the present free trade tariff.

The union of EMERSON'S MAGAZINE and
TUTNAM S MONTHLY has given to the consoli
dated work a circulation second tu but one similar
publication in the country, and has securod for it
ably unrivalled by aoy other magazine . in the
world. liunnif the urst month, toe sale in tec trade
and demand from subscribers esceedci 90.000 co
pies, and the numbers already issued of the con
solidated work arc universally conceded to have
surpassed, in the richness of thtir literary contents,
and the beauty and profuseness of their pictorial
illustrations, any magazine ever before iisucd from
the American press. Encouraged by these eviden
ces of favor, the publishers have determined to
commence the new volume in January with still
additional attractions, and to offer such induce
ments to subscribers as cannot fail to place it, in
circulation, at the head of American magazines.
With his view they now announce the following
splendid programme. They have purchased that
superb and costly steel-plate engraving.
'THE LAST SUPPER,"
and will present a cony of it to every three-dollar
sub;cribcr for the vear 1S.8. It was engraved at
a cost of over 6,000, by the late celebrated A. L.
Dick, from the original of Raphael Morghen. after
Leonardo Da Vinci, and is the largest steel-plate
engraving ever executed in this country, being
three times the size of the ordinary S3 engravings.
The first impressions of this ensravins are held
at $10, and it was the intention of the artist that
none of the engravings should ever be offered for
a le.-i sum than $5. being richly worth that amount.
Thus every three-dollar subscriber will receive
the Magazine one year cheap at S3 and this
fplendid engraving, richly worth S3 ; thus get
ting for S3 the value of Eight dollars.
We shall commence striking off tho enjrravinzs
immediately, yet it can hardly be expected that
impressions of so large a plate can be taken as fast
as they will be called fr by subscribers. Weshall,
therefore, furnish them in the order in which sub
scriptions are received Those who desire to ob
tain their engravings early, and lrom the trst im
picssions, should send in their subscriptions with
out delay The engraving can be sent on rollers,
by mail, or in any other manner, as subscribers
shall order. v

TnE NEW-YORK STE y SAW-MILL
AND MACHINE COMPANY CAPITAL
230.000 This company has been organized with
the above capital for the purpose of supplying the
demand for the Continuation POICTA B I.JZ
STEAM SAW-MILL, and other Improved Va
rhiry. They have purchased th entire machin
rr business heretofore carried on by J. M. m...
son id., also the Montgomery works at Yo&kerii
on the Hudson, near this city, and with the expe
rience and facilitie combined in its organisation
are prepared to furnish machinery of all kinds at
more liberal rates, than has ever been offered at
anv other establishment.
THE COMBINATION SAW-MILL, was patented
October, 1S56, and is now generally acknowledged
to be the cheapest, most practical, and cCcient
lumber manufacturing: machine in the world. A
large number of theui are in successful operation
in different section! of this country. Canada, Cuba,
and South America, and wherever their merit
have been tested they are being adopted by lumber
manufacturers in preference to all other mills.
The following letter expresses the general opin
ion of those who are using the Combination Mill :
Messrs. Exersox & Co Gentlemen : I have tried
the saw-mill purchased of you. and will say that
it perforins well, and more than meets my expea
tatious. I am well pleased with its performance.
I set it up on a small stream that afforded constant
water abont as thick as my little finger, which j
much more than sufficient to supply the boiler.
We are able to cut 3.000 feet of beautiful lumber in
12 hours, with something less than one cord of
wood. It is the very thin: we have needed in our
county for a long time. W ith a little trouble and
expense, we are able to move it from five to ten
miles per day, and set it up in the heart of the
timber, which saves the great burden of hauling
the logs a long distance to the mill.
Y'ours. respectfully, Jesse Kerr. Jr.,
Louisville. Teuceswec.
