HEWITT, of Huston Tp. THE APPROACHING CONTEST. Thus far there has been but little stir about the election ; nor doe 3 It seem likely that tanch will be made, as a general thing. And ret much importance attaches itself to the re sult. Should the Democracy be successful, it will be hailed as an" endorsement of Mr. Bu chanan should they fail, it wilt be regarded as another rebuke to the President, by the people of his own State. It will also, which ever way it goes, have its effect upon the con test in I860. This being the case, it cannot fail to produce pleasurable emotions in every member of the People's party to learn that, in all sections, the popularity of Cochrah and Keini, our candidates for Auditor and Survey or General, is daily increasing, and that their success is now looked upon as certain. The only danger is the confidence that all feel, and which is bnt too apt to produce apathy. We trust that bo such feeling will be allowed to take hold of even one voter in our party, but that all will, at the proper time, come forward and do their whole duty. Assembly Casdidates. Isaac G. Gordon Esq., of Jefferson county, and Wm. A. Nich ols, Esq., of McKean county, having been for mally nominated by the several counties in our Representative district, they are now be fore the public as the candidates of the Peo ple's party for the Assembly. We are author ised to state that Mr. Gordon accepts the nom ination, and we presume Mr. Nichols will also accept. Mr. Nichols last fall, when there were three Opposition candidates in the field, withdrew, to give Mr. Frank, of this conty, a fair chance. Mr. Gordon is well known to many of our citizens as being possersed of more than ordinary ability, of the strictest in tegrity, and of the most irreproachable private character. If the moral tone of the commu nity is not strong enough to induce hundreds to lay aside mere party prejudice and support fcirn in preference to such a man as Dr. Boyerj Ihen, Indeed, are they, like Ephraim, "wedded to their idols," and talent, probity, and recti tude of conduct and purpose, may be regarded as of little consequence in our lawmakers. The Washington Constitution, the Adminis tration organ, comments upon Senator Doug las' article i!t Harper's Monthly thus : "As a contribution to the political literature of the day.from a prominent candidate for the Pres idency, it will attract general attention, and the popular magazine in which it figures will give the additional advantage of its wide cir culation. Reserving any extended observa tions for the present, we may remark that, at a time when the Democratic masses in differ ent, parts of the nation, holding somewhat more or somewhat lesson the question of pop ular sovereignty and other subordinate ques tions, are ready to unite on a safe, practici ble, middle ground, the appearance of this production is, to say the least, unseasonable." Is Tows. Hon. James Gamble, the new Judge, and Hon. Al. White, the Lecomptonite who was defeated by Judge Halo last fall, ar rived here yesterday evening. From the ma noeuvres this morning, it is evident that they are on an electioneering excursion, and White has doubtless accompanied the Judge for the purpose of fixing up matters with the Lecomp ton wing of the party in this county. The Judge, though an affable and courteous gen tleman, is, however, bound to be defeated. The reception of Horace Greeley at Sacra mento, California, was an oration such as the white-coated ptiiloSorihef never before receiv ed. He increased his popularity by making a strong speech for the Pacific Railroad, with out reference td the route, so that it was be tween some place in the Mississippi States and California. The curiosity of the people re garding him was very great. ' Our political friends in Clinton County hare some trouble on hand just now. Two conven tions hare been held and two candidates nom inated for Assembly. Wm. Fcaron, jr., mem ber from that county last winter, iJ the nomi nee or one convention, and B. Rush Petriken of the other. The next electoral college, if Kansas should be admitted at the approaching sessijn of Congress, will consist of 306 members, 154 of whom will be necessary to a choice. The non lavoholding States will have 186 electors, and the slave holding States 120. PENNSYLVANIA ITEKS. PREPARED FOR THE ".RAFTSMAN'S JOURNAL." Cambria Cocstt.

Blair, where he quarreled with a boarder, who, after Williams had used some insulting language, struck at him and knocked his hat off. Wil liams sat down, and presently rising to get his hat, staggered backwards and fell, his head striking some stones lying in the street. Not getting up, the bystanders approached.carried him into a stable, and summoned a physician ; but all to no purpose. He expired in a very short time. An inqeust was held, and a ver dict returned that he "came to his death from injuries received from a tall whilst intoxica ted." Centre Cc-cstt. On the morning of the 17th Aug., David Eckle, living near Pine Grove, was found dead in his own house, hav ing committed suicide by shooting himself in the head with a shot gnn. He was GO 3-ears bf age, and it is said that domestic difficulties induced him to commit the rash act. ... A son of Mr. John Weaver of Taylor township, aged about 6 years, was bitten by a rattlesnake on the 2-jth Aug.-, whilst playing with a cat in the garden.

Soon alter this, the manacled man sprang from the dearborn, and strange to say, the irons dropped from h!s limbs and he made his escape. . . . The Ty rone Star says Mr. Thomas Symington of that place killed thirty-three copperhead snakes near the Bald Eagle Creek, just outside the borough, on the 27th, and that another person killed 2!) 01 b"0 more a Couple hours afterwards.

Miss Melissa Best died suddenly Aug. 2Cth, in Cook township. She was found dead in a field, which she was crossing on her return home from a visit. Cause of death heart disease. . . . Several days since a man named Cu.st, aged about 80 years, left his son's house, in Ligonier,to visit another son residing in Shade township, Som erset count'. Not arriving there at the time he was expected, search was made for him) and his dead body was found near his son's residence, in the woods on the Alleghenies. It is supposed that, darkness overtaking him, and being much wearied, ho lay down to rest, and getting awake during the night, he wan dered off, leaving hi3 baggage.

On day last week, two children of Mrs. Ranch, resident on the cor ner of Wood and Water streets.Fittsburg, one a boy of nine years of age, the other a girl of about four,left home to ramble over Sligo hill in Lower St Clair township.just beyond South Pittsburgh. It is supposed they were in search of nuts. The little boy climbed a tree on the hill, and a limb breaking, ho fell to the ground and was instantly killed. His sister was so much frightened that she started to run down the hill, slipped and fell over a precipice of some sixty feet in height, into a quarry below. She was, of course, very much injured, but had no bones broken, and we believe is expec ted to recover. The children were named Len ders, having been those of a f ormer husband. Indiana Cocntt.

SCHOOL CELEBRATION AND PIC-NIC. A school celebration and pic-nic was held by the citizens of Pennfield and vicinity, at Penn field, on August 2Gth. A lew days since, a number of Pennfield's patriotic cjtizens delib erately concluded that the prolonged monoto ny of this place should be broken ; and that a celebration and pic-nic should be the meaus of disturbing the usual routine of this quiet ri cinity. Their conclusions being made known, the inhabitants at once acquiesced; and jtic vic was echoed by every one. Every person immediately set themselves to. work making preparations for the coming fes tival. The pl&cc selected for the pic-nic was a beautiful grove of apple trees, seemingly constructed by nature expressly for occasions of this nature ; seats. . tables,-and all the et ceteras necessary for the celebration were con structed ; and flags, banners, wreaths, &c, in great profusion, served as ornaments for the occasion. On the morning of the eventful da, at II o'clock, the company assembled at the school house near Mr. Hiram Woodward's for the purpose of forming a procession, and march'ng to the grove. J. B. Hewitt. Esq., and Mr. John Thomas, were the appointed mar shalls ; and each, wearing a beautiful regalia, mounted their gray matched steeds and per formed the duties obligatory to them in a man ner truly creditable. The two schools of the vicinity were arranged in procession with their teachers in front ; each school carrying a ban ner with appropriate mottoes. The young la dies of each school were adorned with Wreaths. The procession, numbering tvo hundred and filty, then proceeded to the grove, and being arracged in seats by the marshals, listened to a lecture by Dr. C. It. Early, on the subject of the common school saystcm of Pennsylvania. The Dr. addressed us in his usual, familiar, and interesting manner, and was listened to wjth marked attention by all. The company then proceeded in order to the table, which was bountifully spread with the good things of earth, reflecting much Credit to the ladies. A blessing being asked by Grandfather Hewitt, each one regaled himself on the bounties spread before him in a manner which showed that the labors of the ladies were appreciated. After dinner the company' were again seated and T. W. Letts addressed the audience on "the necessity and progress of education in our township as regards the past, present, and future." The lecture was delivered in a man ner which would have done credit to one much more experienced. After the address of Mr. Letts, C. II. Powers, took the stand and de livered an oration on the advantage of an ed ucation, and the means requisite for obtaining Sutih. The manner in which Mr. Powers de livered his oration was truly creditable to him as an orator and teacher; alter which 5L; C. I R.Early again ml lrcssed the company in a short but pointed speech on the education of children. The company then dispersed feel ing that it Was good to be there. X. The Gift Book Business. We copy the fol lowing from Forney'sH'eckly Press of Aug. 27 : "The gift-book business, which has sprung up within the lasfrfour or five years, is pecu liar to this country, and, from 'its popularity, has become entitled to be designated an "in stitution." It was originated by Mr. George G.Evans, now occupying very extensive prom ises at 430 Chestnut street, only half a dozen doors from the publishing office of The P reus. You buy a book, out of a multitudinous col lection, including all the new publications of merit, and with each book receive a gift, vary ing in value from 50 cents to $110. In the last six month, between two and three hundred gold and silver watches have thus been distrib uted, and over $2j0,000 worth of jewelry. . He hare seen the receipts for money paid for wat ches and jewelry, by Mr. Evans, since Christ mas, and they cbffvberate this statement to the fullest. No more than a dollar is paid for a dollar book yet a gift is presented with each purchase. Mr. Evans, who is not connected with any other house, in Philadelphia or New York, buys books cheaply for cash, and in such large quantities that the discounts he re ceives are great. Moreover, he is himself an extensive publisher, judiciously "spreading himself," in that line, also, with first-class books. He is .'Ibel for any cxterpri.se requir Mr. Evans publishes a ing spirit and capital. classified catalogue of the largest assortment of books, in every department of literature, in the country, which will be sent, free of ex pense, to any person in the United States, by addressing Georoe G. Evans, Gift Book Es tablishment, No. 433 Chestnut street, I'hiFa. TiiE Lumber Business in Maine. Lumber ing, it is believed, will not bo prosecuted as extensively in Maine the coming winter as in previous years, owing to the high rate of "stump.ige" charged by tho proprietors of timber lands. Stumpage is the tax charged to operators upon the amount of timber cut and in Maine is regulated by the market price of lumber ; at St. John, N.B. it is now S3 per ton for timber, and $5 to $G per M for logs. For some years it has been slowly advancing, until it has become so high as to render lum bering a more hazardous and less profitable business than ever, and many who have opera ted largely in Maine for years past, are now prospecting in the forests of New Brunswick, where the rates are far less onerous, though the timber is not as good as in Maine, and the facilities for driving logs less ample. Significant. In the late speech of Hon. John Hickman at West Chester, filled,as usual, with bold and nervous thoughts, he took occa sion to litter the following significant sentences: "As far as I individually am conccrr.ed.there can be no fraternity In the Democratic party until the last spark of political life shall be crushed cut of tho Lecomptonite; and the best way to kill him is to exclude him from office. We may not bo able to elect men whom wo would prefer, but we can certainly cause defeat to a faithless enemy ; ard such a defeat will be by no means unimportant. It will indicate a salutary lesson, and by remov ing bad principles from the niaiket may cause a demand for good ones." A correspondent at Fort Laramie, Nebras ka, in the course of a business letter to the editor of the Delaware County Republican; gives the following as the prices of various ar ticles at that place: "Flour is selling at 25 cents per pound, sugar 50 cents, pilot bread 3-3 cents, soap 10 Cents, New York prison whiskey $10 a $12 per gallon, rice SO cents per pound, and every thing else in proportion. The price of Height puts everything we use at hisrh fisures. Government navs SSfl nor r barrel for the transportation of flour from Lea venworth city to this point, and $18 per hun dred from Lawrence City to Camp Floyd:" Rowdyism in Baltimore has reached such a height, and the authorities seem so powerless to repress it, that the citizens hare called a public meeting to take such Measures as may bo necessary to preserve tho public peace. The latest notable incident in the reign of rowdyism was the attack, by one of the noto rious blackguards of the city, upon an editor n an omnihus. The latter shot the rowdy in irJmttack?' SUCCessfull-v defending himself Dr. Hayes, one of the companions of Dr. Kane, will organize shortly another Arctic ex pedition, under the auspices of the Scientific Association. The English papers announce the destruc tion by earthquake, on the 2d of June, of the ancient city of Erzroom, in Turkish Armenia. According to official returns, 380 dead bodies had been taken from the ruins, and about 200 wounded. Over 2000 houses were laid in ru ins, 1500 nearly destroyed, andsomo 1200 oth ers injured. Shocks, more or less severe, were felt at intervals during eight consecutive days. It is a singular fact that the destruc tion was almost entirely confined to the Mos lent quarters of Jhe "city, and only twelve Christians lost their lives. A negro boy was kidnapped in Cincjpnntti, on the 20th, taken to a sawdust room in an engine house, hand cuffed, and then taken to the Kentucky shore, and lodged in Covington jail. He was ferreted out by his lriends and returned to them. Officers Slater and Leou ard, of the Cincinnati police, are implicated in the kidnapping of the lad, who was a resi dent of that city, as is Deputy U. S. Marshal Butts of Kentucky. The parties will be held to answer. The Gazette says there is great excitement about this outrage. There is some excitement at Lafayette, Indi, in consequence of the disappearance of Mr. Palton, of the firm of Johnson & Palton, of that city. He left some three weeks ago with bis little son for a short excursion to Chicago, and has been traced to the Mas'sasoit House in that city, but has not since been heard from. It appears that the great forgeiy of Quarter master's checks, detected in Utah, was perpe trated with the connivance of Brigbam Young, M'Kenzie, the engraver, making the plates and striking the checks with Brigham'5 knowl edge and approval. Ex-Judge Watson, of Charlton count', Mo., has been indicted for robbing the County safe of $5,000 about a year since, when he was act ing as county Judge. He is a man ef wealth and of respectable standing and association. Th? notorious Si ux chief Red Iron, who was engaged in the Spirit Lake niassacree.has been arrested, and is now in jail in New-Ulm. Two indictments have been found against him one for murder, and one for theft. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. GENE HAL ELECTION PROCLAMA TION.
