HOW MUCH IT COSTS.
From an article headed "Imports and Ex
ports," which we find in one of our exchan
ges, we learn that within a period f eight
months, reaching from the first of January to
the last of August, loreign goods to the a
mount of $179,451,000 were received at the
port of New York alone, being an increase of
$81,420,000 over the importations of the same
period last year. The immense receipts of
gold from California are wholly inadequate to
pay the enormous European debts contracted
for these goods. During this period of eight
months, our Exports in Domestic Produce a
raounted to but $38,525,000, with an addition
of $4,338,000 of Foreign Goods re-exported,
making $42,863,000 in all; and our exporta
tion ot specie during these eight months has
been $48,660,000 ! Thus our exports in pro
duce, specie, etc., were $92,523,000, while
our Imports were $179,454,000 in Foreign
Goods, with- the small item of $1,649,000 in
Foreign Specie, making the imports in all
$181,100,000, leaving against us the enormous
balance of $88,577,000, to be paid in still oth
er drains of our gold and silver. Thus, under
the present policy of Locofocoism, taking the
figures of this one port as a basis, we are pay
ing over $400,000,000 a year for foreign fab
rics that we can manufacture equally as well
at home, and many of which we could dispense
with altogether, with great advantage to the
moral and physical interests of the American
people. That is what the "progressive free
trade" system ol ihe pseudo-Democracy costs
us it transfers that amount from the hands of
American laborers to those of Europeans.
Samuel Lisx.Esq. This gentleman is now
fairly before the people of the 24th Judicial
District for the position of President Judge.
Flis popularity as a man and a lawyer is
well known, lie has, however, bitter political
enemies contending against him, and these, in
their efforts to preent his election, not only
display a great deal of acrimony and malevo
lence in their attacks, but are attempting to
spring all sorts of issues which they think
might in the least injure him. Among other
objections urged against Mr. Linn, we have
heard it said that "he is too good a lawyer."
Shades of the Sages! who would ever have
dreamed that a man could be "too good a law
yer" to be a Judge ? It is the Grst time we
have heard of such an anomaly, and the as
tute individual who delivered himself of the
profound idea must have felt much relieved
after such a mental feat. Whilst we doubt
that his oljection will seriously damage the
prospects of Mr. Linn, we wonder whether
those who make it, would have us infer that
his competitor is in no danger of suffering in
this way that he is not overburdened with a
stock of legal knowledge I We trust not,
though we presume it makes little difference,
as Judge Gamble's defeat is now general!
regarded as "a fixed fact."
Discontinued Among the "Post Office Af
fairs" appearing in the daily papers, we see an
item to the effect that the post office at Bald
Hills, Clearfield county, Pa is to be discon
tinued. Whilst the Department is thus cut
ting off the mail facilities of the people, for
the purpose, as is alleged, ot curtailing its ex
penses, it continues to transmit cart loads of
documents, without charge, to Senators and
Members of Congress. At almost any time
during the past two weeks, ten or a dozen
largo canvass bags of documents, directed to
Hon. James L. Glllis, thus sent, could have
been seen in the post office in this place, wait
ing till the mail carrier could manage to haul
them to Ridgway. This is a specimen of the
retrenchment that is being effected by the
model administration of the great J. 5.
Our town was last Friday afternoon honor
ed (?) with a "pop visit" from Augustin Dur
bin, the Democratic Molly Maguire candidate
lor the State Senate. What harried hita off
the next morning, -we have not learned. We
hope, however, he may be here during Court
week, so that ihe people of our county can
see him and judge for themselves whether he
is the kind of man they wish to represent them
for the next three years in the State Senate.
The Maine State election took place on Mon
day a-week, and resulted in the success of tb
Republicans. Got. Morrell was re-elected.
THE BELIGIOUS AWAKENING.
Mr. Editor : I wish to call attention to the
fact that for some months past there has been
an awakening ot religious sentiment in many
sections of the world, which is likely to ex
ceed the great revival of 1858. Ireland has
been more particularly aroused than any other
country, and the spread of Vital piety and
Christianity in that proverbially benighted
land is, indeed, astonishing. The excitement
has extended to its uttermost borders prayer
meetings aro daily held in cities, towns, and
country, and thousands upon thousands are
flocking to the standard of the Redeemer and
seeking his forgiveness and favor. In many
sections of our own land, religious revivals are
in progress ; thre seems to be an unusual
outpouring of the grace of God, and the cause
of Christ is gaiuing a stronger bold upon the
hearts of the people than was ever known be
fore, and numberless sinners are brought to
repentance. - Whilst these demonstrations and
revivals among Protestant denominations are
meeting the favor and approbation of Chris
tians generally, it would seem that they
are a matter of deep solicitude to the head
of the Romish church. The Pope is evi
dently alarmed at the rapid progress of Pro
testantism, even in Catholic Ireland, and it is
not surprising, therefore, that he should make
an effort to counteract a movement which is
well calculated to deprive him of the control
of many who might otherwise have been
brought within the pale of the MotherChurch.
If anything were needed to satisfy any oue
that he is alarmed, the evidence can be found
in the efibrts that are now being made to build
up that Church in the United States. Every
where the Catholics are busy with their peo
ple, and meetings of an nnusual character, cal
culated to strengthen the faithful and confirm
the wavering, are being held in many sections.
At some of these meetings it is not only con
tended that they are the only true chuich and
that all who do not belong to it must and will
be inevitably and certainly lost, but the entire
congregation are asked to pledge themselves to
adhere to, maintain, support and defend the
faith and the church, even with their last drop
of blood, to the end of their lives ! Is this a
spirit of christian liberality ? What necessity
is there to maintain and support a church with
the sacrifice of blood and life ? Should not
its mission be Peace and good will to man,
and should it not rather depend upon the
truths of the Bible and the protection of God
as a stay and support? Such ultraism, as I
have referred to, can do no good, and can on
ly have the effect of arraying the feeling3 of
other deuominations against that church, and
of making itself appear selfish and uncharita
ble. Let this, however, be as it may, it is to
be hoped that the revivals will continue, and
that much good to mankind will follow.
September, 1859. Spectator.
School Exhibition.
Pexssville, September 13th, 1859.
Tlfc exhibition which was held in the new
school house in this place on the evening of
the 9th inst., under the superintendence of the
teacher, Miss Emma Tate, is deserving of a
passing notice. The attendance was large,
the exercises were interesting, instructive and
somewhat amusing, and were performed
throughout so successfully, even by very small
scholars, as to win the admiration of all who
were present, who feel an interest in education
at least, and to reflect much credit upon the
efficient and attentive instructress, whose la
bors among her pupils for the last four months
will not soon be forgotten by them.
. Ocaasional exhibitions, well conducted,
would no doubt be beneficial in all our schools.
They tend to promote a harmonious feeling
and union of sentiment, resulting in a concert
of action between the teacher and the pupils,
as well as between the pupils themselves,
which is of the highest importance in the gov
ernment of schools. J.
Minnesota Politics. The Hartford Press
says a private letter from St. Paul,of Septem
ber 2d,from a gentleman well qualified to judge
expresses an opinion, speaking as one of "the
great Democratic party," that "the Clacks are
going to whip ns .awfully." He thinks the
days of that party in Minnesota are numbered,
and adds : ''Electioneering is carried cn
briskly, both parties have speakers from the
East, and the only difference from former
times is, that argument is taking the place of
whisky only because the candidates are too
short to change the treat much." Good for
Minnesota.
At the New York Democratic State Conven
tioh last week they had "a free fight." The
Fernando Wood or Hard faction came the
snap game in organizing, but the Softs also se
lected a chairman, Mr. Stryker, who was soon
knocked down by a blow from one of the
Hards. Much confusion ensued, and as one
faction adjourned the other would meet. The
same State ticket was nominated by both fac
tions, with the exception of the Clerk of the
Court of Appeals. The Softs selected a full
delegation to the Charleston convention.
A Brooklyn lady, a few days since, accom
panied a little beggar girl to her home and
left S5, to help pay the funeral expenses of
the child's father, whose coffin stood in the
corner of the room ; but coming back unawares
to get her handkerchief,she found tho missing
articles in the hands of the dead man, who
was consulting tho detector to see if the fire
dollar bill was good.
A young lady was recently left by an
elderly man at a hotel in Williamsport, in this
State. She died soon after, having been ille
gally treated to conceal the evidences of her
motherhood. Her name has been discovered,
and the parties to this affair, including her un
cle, are to be arraigned for their conduct.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The enterprising publisher Geo. G. Evans,
No. 439 Chestnut street, Phil'a, has just added
to his extensive list, the following new books :
The Life op Col. David Crocket, written
by himself. Comprising his early life, Hunt
ing adventures, Daring Deeds in Border and
Indian Warfare, Services under General Jack
son in the Creek war. Electioneering Speech
es, Career in Congress, Triumphal Tour in the
Northern States, and Struggles in the Texan
War of Independence, together with an Ac
count of his Glorious Death at the Alamo. In
one 12mo.Vol. Handsomely bound. Price $1.
We copy the following from the Philadel
phia North American, : Colonel Crocket was a
character. His autobiography has been long
out of print ; his reputation for eccentricity
has been presumed upon in the publication of
all sorts of outrageous nonsense, in coarse al
manacs, and other vehicles lor low humor.
This volume is a republication of the genuine
work, with necessary additions ; and will be
new to the present generation of readers. It
is as marked and characteristic as the subject
Was ; his portrait faithfully drawn, nnd none
the less so that it is without an effort, and per
fectly naive and sincere. We well remember
the amiable original in his northern tour, and
recall many of tho incidents to which his
book alludes. We have never looked upon
his like since; and rejoice in this republica
tion as an act of justice; to retrieve an hon
est man from vulgar misrepresentation.
A copy of the book, and a handsome present
will be sent by mail, post-paid, upon receipt
of $1 CO for the book, and 21 cents for post
age. A new Classified Catalogue of Books
nnd Gifts, with inducements to Agents, will be
sent free, on application. Address, G. G. E

Three Per Cent a Month, or the Perils
of Fast Living ; a Warning to Young Men, by
Charles Burdeit, Author of "Second Marriage,'
"Elliott Family," "Marion Desmond," "Nev
er too Late," tic. One vol. 12mo., cloth, $1.
From the Gazette : "This book deserves to
be singled out and noted as above the many
novels which are published. Both In structure
and style it is entitled to the name of art. It
is a Tale of Domestic Life, rehearsing the in
terwoven histories of a round of every day
characters, and its aim is to show the follies of
the too many, so called, passions and pleasures
of fashionable life, touching in no part upon
ground that properly belongs to tho vast do
main of romance. The Bachelor Millionaire
Uncle George, is a character reminding us of
tne Brothers Chceryble, and although he tea
ches the"sweet uses of Adversity"with severe
discipline, it brings out the true beauty of
character, and shows how few there aro who
can go through the trials of every-day life,
and in the end prove their constancy."
Copies of either of the above books with a
handsome Gift worth from 50 cents to $100,
will be sent to any person in the United States
upon receipt of $1 00, and 21 cents to pay pos
tage, by addressing the Publisher. A new and
Classified Catalogue of Books in every depart
ment of Literature, together with a list of
Gifts, and every information relative to the
establishment of agencies in the Gift Book bu
siness will be mailed free to any one by Geo.

Strumous or Srofulous affections arc the
curse, the blight, the potatoe rot of mankind.
They are vile and filthy as well as fatal. They
arise from contamination and impurity of the
blood, and are to bo seen all around us every
where. One quarter of all we meet are tain
ted with them, and one quarter of these die of
them : die foolishly too, because they arc cu
rable." Ayer's Sarsaparilla cleanses out the
Scrofulous corruption from the blood, renders
it pure and healthy, and effectually expurges
the foul contamination from the system. No
longer groan under your Scrofulous disorders,
since the irresistable Ayer has provided his
masterly combination of curative virtues that
he calls Sarsapharilla. Democrat, Water

News has been received from Japan dated
the 5th of June. The Emperor had ordered
that the cities of Jeddo, Nagasaki, Simoda
and Ilakodadi should be united by telegraph,
and a line was being built from Jeddo to his
summer residence. All the ' vessels in the
Imperial fleet were to be turned Into steam
propellers, and one of them the Nipon, had
already left on a voyage of discovery, manned
by a native crew and native engineers. An
American having discovered a copper mini?,
was permitted to work it, on promising to di

The Treaty which Mr.M'Lean has concluded
with President Juarez of Mexico, is deemed
very important, in view of tho results likely
to follow. Its points are: A perpetual and
secure route across the Isthmus of Tehuante
pec, a free port on the Gulf of California, and
a route therefrom to Arizona, the adjustment
and payment of the claims ot our citizens
against the government, and the payment by
us of about five millions of dollars to the gov
ernment of Mexico, one halt of which is re
served to pay the American claims.
Frederick Wiliner, a German, "half seas

strong enough to come back the same way,
and some cruel fellows on the other side re
taining his clothes, he started across the sus
pension bridge inpuris naturalibus, and en
tered Wheeling at a run, driving crinoline in
wild flight before him. He was arrested, and
thought it was a h-11 of a free country where
a man couldn't go naked when he had "noth

pounds. These creatures are not found in
that locality once in 20 years. He was quite
fat, and his fore arm was as large as that of a

a bucket of water on it,checked it. She then
ran for assistance, but no men were near, and
but for the undaunted heroism of Miss Mary
Scholl, who ascended the roof and by the aid
of several buckets of water quenched the fire,
the entire block would inevitably have been
destroyed.
