FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, . WILLIAM II. KEIM, of Berks. PEOPLE'S COTJKTY C02TVEBTI03T. Some weeks since we announced in our pa per that it was designed to hold a People's Convention, during September court, to norni . nate a County Ticket. The County Commit tee, however, at a meeting held last Saturday, finding that the time mentioned touhl be en tirely too late, and thinking it best to call it , at as early a day as possible, fixed upon Tues day the 16th day of August for the meeting of the Convention. We trust that day will suit the conyecience of our friends ; and as, ac ' cording to the plan adopted at the meeting held last Court week, every member of our party can come to the Convention and be a ; delegate, it is to be hoped that the attendance will be large. We take this occasion to urge all who can do so, to be present on the lGth, and assist in nominating a ticket that will be : a credit and honor to the party. Let care be taken to select, as candidates, men of intelli . gence, of worth, and of unimpeachable integ litr, so that no objections on that score, or in . regard to their fitness and qualifications, can be made against them. Let personal prefer ences or prejudices, if any should exist, be laid aside, and a lively desire to benefit the cause and the party, by a straightforward course and honorable means', alone actuate the individual members, and we have no doubt that a gratifying result will follow. What Hk Thinks of Them. Senator Brown ' of Mississippi, a regular flre-cating Democrat of the. South, is represented as a fearless, plain-spoken, impulsive man, and when warm ed up in making a speech is apt to blurt out truths which a more wily politician would carefully conceal. Last winter, for instance, he declared that he favored the acquisition of - parts of Mexico and Central America, solely ; that the South might plant slavery there ; and to supply the market with the requisite amount of nigger' flesh, he would re-open the African slave-trade. His constitutional want of cau tion makes him careless about involving his friends or his party in a fight among them selves in the presence of their foes ; and, be- ing valiant himself, he does not see why, if there is to be scrimmage at all, it shouldn't begin at once, and accordingly pitches into anybody and anything .that doesn't please him. Thus feeling, and his long service in both branches of Congress having given him opportunities for forming a correct estimate of , the character of the Northern Allies of the Southern Democracy, he proposed, in a speech to his constituents not long ago, to dispose of Jf matters at the Charleston Convention in a rather summary manner. He said : - ' "The only hope of the Southern Democracy is to make a fight in the Charleston Conven tion ; to go there determined to have their views incorporated in the creed of the party, or break up the concern in a row. I have no - doubt, as the South has heretofore controlled the party on all great questions, that the Nor thern Free-Soil clement will again yield in graceful submission. If they do not, why then apply the torch to the great temple of Democ racy, and blow the concern to flinders. Rath er than see the party destroyed, the North, which doesn't care lor principle, will allow any thing to be incorporated into the creed." From this it would seem that Senator Brown has a very exalted opinion of the Northern - Democracy. Such a certificate of character should be highly esteemed, and the faithful to whom it is addressed, though they "don't care for principle," should pocket it, and bowing - in "graceful submission" to the Mississippi Senator, say, "Tank ye, Massa Brown !" It is stated that the account between the O verland Mail Company and the Post Office De partment will stand thus at the close of the six months -.Expenditures of the Department, $3,600,000; receipts $60,000; showing a clear : .loss from the route of $3,510,000. . If this be correct, and we suppose it is or it would have been contradicted by the adminis tration editors ere this, it exhibits one of the ! small leaks, which Mr. Buchanan and his Post Master General cannot see, or regard of too trifling importance to stop. Here is a loss of over three and a half millions of dollars in one 1 route, and not a word do we hear about cur tailing the cost thereoh, no. r Because, for- . sooth, some favorites have a hand in it, they - don't attempt it; but, instead, go to' cutting down the mail service in the Northern States, ; where the receipts more than pay the expenses. Let honest-minded men look at this fact, and then draw their own conclusions. The Sunday Travel Question is just now exciting much interest in the cities. Judge - Thompson of the Supreme Court having de ' livered an opinion to the effect that the run ning of passenger cars in Philadelphia is a r. breach of the peace, meetings are being held ' :; i0-hi Purpose of adopting measures to hav6 t . a. I laws, restricting rjublic travel repealed . f Mr. Buchanan has writteu a letter in which he says that his determination not to be a can didate for the Presidency in I860 is "final and conclusive," his fbest judgment andstrong "inclination" concurring "in favor of such a course." "The importance of. this exciting announcement will hardly be "overrated.. " ETJBOPEAN NEWS. The Europa's advices give some additional information, though not so much as was hoped, respecting the treaty of peace- : Sardinia's new boundary is the lino of the Mincio, Aus tria retaining the quadrangle. The princes of Tuscany and Modena returning to their respective States, and a universal amnesty is granted. But we have no further light on the nature of the Italian Confederation and the new powers of the Pope, who had according to a letter from Rome, wiitten Napoleon on the 8th that he should demand of the Catholic Powers armed intervention. It was rumored that Cardinal Antonelli would be dismissed. Count Cavour and his associates in office had resigned, and a new Sardinian ministry, Count Arese at its head, had been formed. This step shows the feeling In Italy, as do reports f troubles in Venetia and Tuscany, disaffec tion in Milan, and a purpose on fhe part of Garibaldi to continue the contest. ' The Pa risan populace murmured at the terms of the peace, but it is probable that the triumphant entry of Napoleon into the capital at the head of the army of Italy will quiet them. The Federal Council of Switzerland have disban ded the troops called out during the war, and will propose severe measures to prevent Swiss entering foreign military service. Orders had been transmitted to the Prussian troops on the march to halt where they were, and the pro posal made to the Federal Diet had been with drawn. Further accounts of the mutiny of some Swiss troops at Naples, affirm that in its suppression, seventy-five of the malcon tents were killed and two hundred and thirty three wounded. An important fact, now first made certain, is that Austria retains all four of the great fortresses, the Mincio being made the western boundary of her tcnitories. . Thus she still holds the key to Northern Italy, and can take advantage of any favorable emergency to re gain what she has now had to abandon. This fact alone shows how utterly unfounded is Napoleon's pretense that he has virtually ac complished his purpose of driving Austria out of Italy. Indeed, it is not too much to say that if he has beaten Austria in the war, she has decidedly beaten him in concluding the peace. She has resigned simply what had been conquered from her, nothing more. France, at an expense of some hundred mil lions of dollars and the lives of some fifty thousand of her sons, has gained the control of Sardinia, much glory for her soldiers, and the renown of a very lucky and moderately successful General lor her Emperor. For him it is much ; for France, which has borne all the expense and suffered all the losses, it is little; and it is not surprising that there should be discontent in Paris. Several days later intelligence has been re ceived by the arrival of the Ocean Queen and the Anglo Saxon. It is announced that Napo leon had arrived at St. Cloud. A conference between Austria, France,' and Sardinia, to set tie the details of the treaty, which is now re garded by all parties, according to report, as, in its present form, "impracticable," was to take place, but where or when was not known The treaty was received with great dissatisfac tion throughout Italy. In Sardinia the popu lar discontent showed itself in a negative rath cr than a positive manner, but in Tuscany, Modena, and Parma, the people and the Pro visional Governments, in their name, declared it a betrayal of their rights, to which they would never submit, and in the Papal States there were many symptoms of trouble. The Austrian army was to remain wherc.it was posted at the tim of the Emperor's interview at Villafranca ; but the imperial Guard and detachments from other corps of the French army, were to march to Paris to receive an ovation. A Paris correspondent states that the greatest activity is manifest all along the French coast, which is being fortified in the most formidable manner. A new Ministry had been formed at Turin, with General Delia Marmora as Minister of War and President of the Council. The Michigan Wheat-Crop. The Detroit Advertiser of the 20th July says : In 1350, Ohio raised, according to the United States census, 14,487,000 bushels of wheat, and Mich igan in the same year 4,926,000. The crop of the present season in Ohio is estimated at 26,000,000 bushels, which would give Michi gan about 9,000,000 bushels, at the same ratio of increase. Considering that Ohio suffered much more severely by the late frosts than Michigan did, these figures cannot be an over estimate.- The reason of our taking Ohio as the standard of comparison is, that besides joining Michigan and greatly resembling it in many respects, in that State the operations of their statistical bureau furnish better data for estimates than any other. Calling the popu lat ion of Michigan . 800,000, and allowing five bushels to each individual and 500,000 bushels for seed, we shall still have a surplus of 4,500,- 000 bushels for export. One of the merriest jokes of the season was the Pittsburgh Post's formal nomination o James Buchanan for the Presidency in 18C0. The administration editors were puzzled to know how to treat it whether to take it up seriously, or simply say that J. B. is a great man, the tallest kind of a President, and that he deserves the honor, but a-hem as he has repeatedly said he would not be a candidate, the country will have to submit, however re luctantly, to tne necessity of not having him ior us l'resmeni anome term. Just at this ticklish juncture, J. B. relieves them by hav- r -a '. 3 ju. : 1 1 j i tug lb anuouueeu uiai iib nm toi uo a candi date for re-nomination, and hence we may ex pect the soft-soaping operation will soon be commenced by the aforesaid editors. A driver of a street freight car in Philadel phia, told a boy, who had climbed up, to get down as it was dangerous, where he was ; the boy refnsed, and the-driver cut him with his whip following him half a square. The boy's father, a rich merchant," enquired out the facts, saw the driver and giving him ten dol lars in gold, told him to double the dose if hi? boy ever repeated the experiment.'

General Sam Houston Is the Opposition candidate for Gov ernor of Texas.; Ho recently wrote a letter in which he stated that he had not known of the existence of the Know .Nothing uraer, or any disposition to revive it, since 1855. He has very correctly and truly added that there are "other isms of a more dangerous character which threaten the general safety ; and we are happy to find that he has given the weight of his patriotic mind to a denun ciation of the principal of these new fangled political devices. The .absurd doctrines of Nullification,Secession and Disunion, he says, are urged on by demagogues, who, in the con fusion of the times, hope to secure places of profit and distinction. Among these men are those who advocate the re-opening of the Slave Trade, "than which no greater evil is to be apprehended to the South." Gen. Hous ton then adds that if the Slave Trade were re opened that the South would be overrun with African barbarians, and society would be subjected to innumerable evils, and that the only sure reliance . of the country is on the Constitution and the Union. A Los Angelos correspondent of the PhiU delphia. 2?ulz' states "that a California pa per started a canard to the eflect that Horace Greeley, of the Tribune, was on his way to California to take command of all the various rag tag and bobtail fillibusters to be gfound there; and that the whole horde, uader the supreme command of the aforesaid Greeley, would invade Mexico and usurp the govern ment of that Republic. A copy of this paper fell into the hands of the commander at Ma zatlan, and he at once issued a proclamation informing the people that "One Horace Gree ley, a most diabolical, bloodthirsty and unmer ciful man worse than the infamous Walker, or even the minions of Miramon a man whose very name struck dread to the hearts of thou sands in the United States, so many were his crimes, and so terrible was bis conduct is now at the head of the most extensive band of fillibusters ever collected, and on his way to Mexico." He then exhorts the people to pre pare themselves for instant action, and con cludes thus : "This dangerous man (hombre ve ligrose) is not of the common school of filli busters; they wish to plunder, he for blood ana muraerons deeds." Just imagine, says- the correspondent, the mild and amiable phi losopher of the Tribune converted into the har dencd fiend this bright greaser makes him." A Great Canal Project. The London Il lustrated News states that the Bay of Biscay and the Mediterranean are to be united, and 1,200 miles to be saved, by a great canal thro' the interior of Spain. The project has re ceived the sanction of the government of Spain, and the Queen, by her royal proclama tion of March 25, 1859, has granted to its pro jector, Mr. Charles Boyd, of Barnes, Surrey, England, two years to make the necessary preparations for carrying it into effect. This gigantic work, which is designed for the pur pose of shortening the passage of shipping to and from the Mediterranean and the ports of Northern Europe by more than 1,000 miles, will be 285 miles in length, 340 feet wide, and 30 feet deep available for vessels of the lar gest and most unprecedented dimensions. It will commence at Bilboa, on the coast of Bis cay, and proceeding through the Cantabian mountains and the valley of the'Ebro, and passing by Saragossa and Estella, will fall into the Mediterranean at the Bay of Alfaqucs, in Catalonia. The cost of this enterprise has not yet been ascertained, but it is almost certain that a large portion of the expenses will be borne by the Spanish government. Potter CouxTY,Pa. During a heavy rain on tho 14th, two clouds met, bursted and fell with perfect torrents of water in Hebron township, near Coudersport. An eye witness says that a 14 quarts pail, standing in the open air, was rained full in 25 minutes. Logs two feet in diameter, laying out of usual water courses, were carried ofF, so rapidly did the water rise. The dam of Mr. Nelson Clark's mill, was car Tied, away by the sudden flood, and at the steam saw-mill of Mr. Wra. JI. Metzger, on another stream, a milk house was carried away, and a large amount of driftwood floated into the mill, so that several days will be re quired to get the mill in running order. The crops in the neighborhod are said to have been very little injured. The frozen well at Brandon, Vermont, has attracted crowds of savans to that place this season. Scientific persons in that vicinity ascribe tho phecomcna to an iceberg, and that originally, or at some remote period in the long past, that part of America was the head of the sea. This hyphojesis is sustain ed by the fact that several year's ago, in build ing a railroad between Claremoht and White River junction, the terminus of the Sullivan Railroad, the bones of an Arctic Whale were found on one of the highest points of land. All tho land near the well is frozen at a depth of a few feet below the surface. : An interest ing scientific report on the subject is under stood to be forthcoming. . Cuinoline was originally the name of a Paris ian modiste one Madame Crinoline, who kept a set of dressmaking rooms in the Rue de la Paix. It eventually came into use to denote the article most in repute at her establish ment. She it was who, by the invention of horse-hair woven into a sort of cloth and man ufactured into petticoats, enabled the fair sex to dispense with that clumsy abomination which always placed them, if not in a headlong hurry, certainly in a bustle. The name of the petticoat was given, from that of the in ventor, as has frequently happened ; the crino line, the petticoat, was derived from Crino line, the dressmaker. Crossing the Hudson in Wash Tubs. We see by the papers that an exciting race for $25 a side, recently came off at the Poughkeepsie ferry dock, across to the Paltz Landing, in wash tubs, four feet in diamcter,witbout oars ; the vessel were paddled by hand. The river was smooth, and at three o'clock in the after noon the contestants started. Both men struck out manfully, nntil two-thirds of the distanco had been . passed, when one had to give up from exhaustion ; the other, having more bot tom, came in an easy winner, in two hours and fifty-five minutes. The vanquished man was towed ashore. . -. - Mr. John Tyson, of Wrightsville, York Co..

A STIRRING THE SOIL. Jethro f ull, an English farmer, 150 years ago, advocated the irequent pulverization of the soil as a substitute for manure. He thought that tho earth and the earth alone, did every thing lor vegetation, and sa he says in his work entitled Horse-Hoe Husbandry, "too much nitre corrodes, a plant, too much water drowns it, too much air dries the root?, and too much heat burns it ; but too much earth a plant never can have." His theory was that all the arable soils in the world were nearly alike, and the difference in their fertility arose from the coarsenass of their particles. With him no soil could be too fine, and no plant could have too easy or free a passage from its roots, through its mellow bed. Manures were discarded because of the taste they imparted to esculent roots and plants, and wonder was expressed that delidite palates could relish vegetables fattened upon the filth of animals, ne undertook, practically, to demonstrate his theory upon the poorest soils and though ho did not prove all he attempted. 'he taught the farmer that a smaller quantity of manure would suffice on lands deeply and thoroughly pulverized, than on those tilled shallow and on old methods. Like some reformers, Jethro Tnll was in advance of his age. He discover ed a great truth, and elated with success he over-wrought the subject with bold and origi nal conceptions. He invented ploughs, hoes, and drills far superior to any before known, and thus fairly won his great title, "the father of drill and horse-hoe husbandry." The doc trine of stirring the soil is one which modern farmers would do well to heed. It produces cleanliness, breaks up the crust formed by rain and subsequent sun admits the nourish ment of air to vegetation, and prevents the deleterious effects of drought. Constant ChI tivation is the price of large agricultural suc cess. Stir, stir, stir, then the soil ; keep the hoe, tlte cuitivater and the plow bright by fre quent use, for iron rust is poisonous to farming. The Kansas Constitutional Convention has adjourned. The constitution is thoroughly anti-slavery, and was adopted by a vote of 34 to 13, every Democrat voting Nay. Topeka was selected as the temporary capital of the State. The "Democracy" will probably do their best to defeat the Constitution before the people.
