ONONDAGA Co., N. Y., July 23d, 1855
Mr. LE.wis, Esq.,—Dear Sir :
I hope you have better harvest weather
with you than we have. It rains here every
day, or every other day at furthest, and has
done so lam told since the middle of June.
Farmers have not been able to cultivate their
corn and a failure of that crop is anticipated
here. But the fields of growing potatoes we
see here are enough to gladden the heart of
an Irishman. The soil of this county is as
rich as the garden of Eden, and vegetation
of all kinds attains a growth and luxuriance
here surpassing any thing I ever saw.—
There is little or no wheat grown here—the
ground is too strong for it, and the milk wee
vil is very destructive in this section of the
State. Hay, oats, barley and potatoes are the
principal and most productive crops of this
comity. Forty to fifty acres constitutes a
good sized farm here', and the land sells at
from sixty to one hundred dollars per acre.
Woodland is also valuable, and the. getting
out, and sale of wood for the salt works at
Syracuse, constitutes a very large item of
business and wealth along these rivers.—
Some six millions of bushels of salt were man
ufactured last year in this sounty, some by
evaporation in the
. sun, but the largest por
lion of it by boiling, which must necessari
ly consume large quaatities of wood. Coal
from Scranton in Penna., is begiuning to be ,
used but does not answer the purpose as well
as wood. The Onondaga Indians occupy a
reserved territory in the heart of this county.
They are good farmers, have good schools
and in all respects are an industrious thrifty
people. But like the Indians every where, I
and not unlike many white folks either,
they are fond of whiskey, and when they
get out to town, generally get drunk when
ever they can get the liquor. The Prohibi
tory liquor law is now making the first steps
in a successful experiment in this State.—
Considerable opposition is made to it in the
cities, especially in New York City, but in
the rural districts and in some of the interior
cities, the law is obeyed. Some liquor is,
no doubt, still sold and bought and drank,
but like any other business or thing con
demned by the law of the land and the mor
al intelligent sentiment of the community,
it shrinks into disgrace. If the people of
this section of the country do not enforce
this law better than they do their Sunday
laws, I fear it will not be of much value to
them. For I regret to say it, business is as
brisk on the Canal-here on Sunday as any
other day of the week. Yesterday, in going
to meeting past three river point, the stores
were ell open, the shutters back and doors
wide open, their wares displayed and busi
ness as brisk, and some say brisker, than on
a week day ; and while setting in church we
could see farmers in their hay fields busy at
work, and in the evening a team came haul
i a load of hay into the, village. This
state of things is a great draw back on this
section of the country. I would. not live
here, or rather, I would not bring up a family
of children here on any conditions in the
world. There is nothing settled or orthodox
here ; every thing is in a transition state.—
The Professions of Divinity, Law and Medi
cine are filled - with Quacks, and all the isms
of the day find here willing devotees; and
Atheism and Universalism here boldly rear
their rebellious standards and gather their ar
mies of followers. Yet there are many good
people to be found here, mourning over the
desolation of Zion, and peradventure en
ough to save this land from the penalties of
broken divine laws. We come by a new
route here this time. We went to Harris
burg one hundred miles, thence by the Dau
phin and Susquehanna road sixty four miles
to Port Clinton, on the Reading Railroad,
thence nearly due north by Tamaque, Dan
ville, Williamsport and Elmira, two hund
red and sixty-five miles to Canonclaigua,
thence by Syracuse on the N. Y. Central
road eighty-five miles to this place. The
Cattiwissa Railroad from Tamaque to Dan
ville is the greatst achievement in railroad
making I have yet seen. It skirts the tops
of a mountain most of the distance, and cros
ses ravines on bridges two hundred feet in
bight. Some of the curves look like the let
ter S, and some of the grades reach eighty
feet. And yet with all this they run over
this road at the speed that would be called
lightning on the Penna. Central Road. But
I must draw this rambling epistle to a close.
I had no idea of writing a letter when sat
down ; but what is writ is writ—it is at
your service either to insert in the stove or
the "Globe" as you see proper.
I remain yours, very truly, B.
Educational Meeting
Pursuant to a call from the County Super
intendent, published some weeks since, an
Educational Meeting composed of the mem
bers of the Huntingdon County Teachers'
Institute, and other friends of education, was
held in the Court House in Huntingdon, on
the tegth ult., at 1 o'clock, P. M.
The meeting after being organized was
addressed at some length by the President,
stating the object of the meeting, and calling
for an expression of sentiments from those
present on the subject.
Remarks were then made by Messrs. Bene
dict, McDivitt, J. S. Brown, J. McDonald, B.
F. Brown, and others, after which the follow
ing Resolutions were offered by Mr. Bene
dict, and after some discussion unanimously
adopted :
Resolved, That the County Superintendent
be requested to call meeting s of the County
Teachers' Institute, at Manor Hill, Spruce
Creek, Marklesburg and Scottsville, each
meeting to be held at such time as will be
most convenient, and that in each call, he
enumerate the townships to be especially in
terested, and that he appoint a Committee of
three residing in said townships to make the
necessary arrangements, to make the meet
ing interesting and profitable, and accommo
date the teachers in attendance.
Resolved, That the County Superinten
dent be requested to correspond and consult
with the teachers in the several localities, as
to the time of meeting and the order of busi
ness, and in relation to the employment and
selection of lecturers and instructors.
It was then, on motion, Resolved, That a
committee of three be appointed to report on
the propriety of establishing a permanent
Normal Institute in this county, and report
at the next annual meeting of the Institue.—
Albert Owen, D. F. Tussey and J. B. McEl
roy were appointed said committee.
Resolved, That a committee of three be
appointed to report at the same time, on the
present great deficiency of good teachers—
the cause, and the remedy. J. A. Hall, John
McDorr6l,l and Miss C. T. Benedict were ap
pointed said committee.
Adjourned to meet at 7 o'clock P. M.
EVENING SESSION.
Prayer by Rev. N. S. Buckingham,
A paper was then read by Mr. Benedict,
on the subject of the reciprocal duties that
exist between the School Teacher and the
School Director, and adopted.
On motion Resolved, That a copy of the
report just read be requested for publication.
Addresses were then deliverec, and re
marks made by J. Sewell Stewart, Esq., Rev.
N. S. Buckingham, Wil t tiam Colon, and
others.
The following committees were appointed
to report at the next annual meeting of the
Instituate, on the subjects assigned them,
viz :
The importance of securing a uniformi
ty of text books—A. W. Benedict, Henry
Wilson and B. F. Brown.
Best methods of enlisting the interest, and
securing the co-operation of parents, in the
cause of edugation—R. McDivitt, U. W.
Miller and Miss Kate M. Shaw.
The convention then adjourned till the
next annual meeting of the institute.
- J. S. BARR, Prest.
R. 11 , 1cDrvITT, Seery.
The County Superintenedent has appoint
ed B. F. Brown, Samuel Keith and Henry
McKibbin, a committee to make the neces
sary arrangements for holding a Teachers'
Institute at Spruce Creek, for the Districts
composed of Morris, Porter, Franklin and
Warriorsmark townships. It is desirable
that the committee take immediate action,
in order that said Institute may be held at an
early day.
William Stewart, J. B. McElroy and Rob
ert Stewart have also been appointed a com
mittee to make arrangements for holding an
Institute at Manor Hill, for the districts com
posed of Jackson, Barree and West town
ships. The School directors of the districts
particularly interested in these Institutes are
expected to aid and countenance the teachers
in their efforts for self-improvement.
Public examinations will be held at the
conclusion of the sessions of each Institute.
The Committees for other Institutes pro
posed to be held, will be announced in due
time.
Know Nothin gism
There will be no want of materials to
write its epitaph. Its rise was rapid, but
the rapidity of its fall is marvelous. Last
year it was a vigorous young giant, with a
fair reputation fur purity, now it is a decri
pid old sinner, reeking with corruption and
offensive from its disgusting rottenness. In
some quarters it is already pronounced dead.
In several States it will not figure in the fall
elections, arid in others its decease will be
recorded after these elections are over.—
Those papers which were most warm in its
praise at the first, are in the greatest hurry
to pronounce its overthrow. The New York
Times, speaking of them, says :
"But the game is all up, the bubble has
burst, and a most profitable lesson may be
learned from the fate of this secret Order by
all who may hereafter attempt to form a new
party. As an element in our political orga
nizations, the Know Nothings are not, now,
of much account, and they will be of much
less a year hence. They will go the way of
all parties that' have deserted their own stan
dards. The objects of the Simon Pures of
the Order were to prevent the spread of
Romanism in this country, and to amend or
abulish the naturalization laws; but they soon
abandoned thoSe great objects, and termed
themselves into a league to strangle at the
North the sentiment of freedom, and to make
the Free States mere second fiddles for the
Slave States to play upon. It is a sad alter
native that political parties are reduced to,
but it seems to be inevitable that, for a while
at least, great national questions of policy
must be abandoned until the sectional issues
are diSposed of which the Know Nothings
have been active in raising. But "Sam"
himself is a used up impersonation, without
the U. S. to give him substance 'and respec
table personality."
The cause of this sudden fall aro mainly
to be sought in the un- American character
istics of the order, and in its intolerable pro
scription and oppression, both in and out of
the order. The Louisville Courier exhibits
these latter in their true light:
"In this free country, an odious oligarchy,
a close corporation, in every evil feature of
that term, undertakes to make an iron bed
stead, to which they declare every man shall
be fitted. if he is not long enough, he is to
be streched to the standard measure ; if too
long, he is to be cut clown to-suit tho inquis
itorial body which owns the instrument of
torture. No door of escape is open to the
wretch thus caught. In a land of religion
and republicanism, where every man is guar
anteed the enjoyment of civil and religious
freedom, a band of Thugs have associated to
gether for the purpose of strangling every
man to death who dares to exercise the rights
which nature and law declare are inaliena
ble and sacred.
The political bearings of Know Nothing
ism are intolerant, bigoted, proscriptive and
demoniacal. They sharpen the dagger for
every one who either cannot, or will not pro
nounce Shibboleth according to their meth
od. But we cannot help believing that
when the people come to understand the in
tolerant, proscriptive, and persecuting prin
ciples and practices of these enemies of civil
and religious liberty, they will sweep their
present organization from political existence,
as they have often swept away unendurable
evils. All men who claim to be free should
show their freedom by breaking the collar
these men have fastened on their necks.
Nothing can equal the tyranny of Know-
Nothingism except the unblushing impudence
which it exhibits in assuming the hallowed
name of "Americanism." It is by "putting
on the livery of heaven to serve the devil in"
that has heretofore enabled Know-N.othing
ism to hold up its head in decent American
society ; and, now, that its true principles
are being made known, its secrets exposed,
and its policy proclaimed abroad in the light
of day by a free people and a free press, hun
dreds and thousands of American citizens
are leaving its tyranical councils, determi
ned that hereafter they will be free men in
the noblest sense of that term.
Americanism, in the true sense of that term,
is not afraid or ashamed of its policy or its
principles, and never attempts to fetter the
utterances of free speech by free men.—
Know-Nothingisrn, on the contrary, is a se
cret, oath-bound society, tbat would both
fetter the limbs and put a padlock upon the
lips of its members. Americanism is wil
ling at all times to admit its policy to the
reason and judgment of the Americana people,
but Know-Nothingism would ignore the
great mass of the people, unless they are
,
willingto be governed by its edicts and con
trolled by its secret councils.
All organizations, societies or churches in
this country, with which we are acquainted
permit their members in good standing to
leave at any time without let or hindrance.
But the tyrariical and corrupt -leaders that
control the Know Nothing councils have the
cool impudence to tell American citizens,
that they shall not withdraw from the order
until it suits the interests of the Know Noth
ing party to permit them to do so. A tyran
ny more oppressive, a surveillance more gal
ling, or a secret espionage more objectiona
ble, does not exist in any free country upon
the face of the earth. It is no wonder, there
fore, that true Americans are leaving the or
ganization by hundreds and thousands. It
is no wonder that, in its extremity, Know-
Nothingism is changing its platform to suit
all creeds and all localities. Nor is it any
wonder that the sober second thought of true
hearted American people is consigning the
spoils-seeking originators of Know-Nothing
ism to the depths of political degradation
and infamy. Let every true American bear
in mind that he who would be free, himself
must strike the blow."
The Steady Progress of the Abolition
and Know-Nothing Coalition.
There is something audacious and defiant
in the triumphant march of abolitionism
since it has gathered the new secret party
under its black and pestilential banner. It
moves along with the majestic tread of a
conqueror. It seems to exult, for The first
time, in the prospect of the success of its ac
cursed plans. For years it has struggled
against mighty odds. At one time it had
the Church against it; then the press took
up the assault; then the politicians; and at
last it had become as odius in the North as it
was hated and feared in the South. The pop
ulation of our great cities responded to no
sentiment more enthusiastically than that
which held up to scorn these enemies of the
constitution. They were treated as outlaws,
and their assemblages of whites and blacks
were always sure to provoke the utmost ex
citement. At no time were the people of the
South so secure in their homes, so strong in
their rights, so fraternally united with the
northern people. But the abolitionists did
notrest quiet. They persevered with stubborn
ness and zeal, and now at last they rejoice
with exceeding joy over the promise of com
ing victory. They feel that they have secu
red an ally more formidable than any that
has heretofore enlisted in their ranks. Wiel
ding with consummate tact the anti-slavery
predjudices of the North, and taking advan
tage of the necessary conflicts of opinion in
Congress, whenever the rights of the States
have been sought to be invaded by cunning
lawers and sectional leaders, they have final
ly contrived to bring under their influence a
sentiment which is as hostile to their assu
med idea of the perfect equality of all the ra
ces of man, as that idea, as hypocritically ad
vocated and presented by them, is hostile to
all the understood and covenanted obligations
between the citizens and States of our bles
sed Union. Now, for the first time, we say,
does abolition rear its horrid front in stern
and confident contempt of all tlielears of
the patriotic citizen. Nov does it hurl its
"fire-brands, arrows and death" among
those it has so long and so recklessly assail
ed: State after State has presented the spec
tacle of a congregation of all the-isms under
the lead of abolitionism. We have already
counted Ohio, Pennsylvania, 'lllinois, Indi
ana., Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Connectibut, New Jersey, 'Michigan,
lowa, and New Hampshire. Every day
presents new evidences of the magnitude of
this fusion. There has as Yet been no ex
ception to it in the North. Nowhere has the
new party, which arrogates to itself the name
of "American," been effectual to stop the ad
vance of this monstrous anti-American and
anti-Union crusade. Everywhere has it
yielded before it. Every where has it sold
out for a price, until at the moment we
speak there is scarcely a considerable body
of know-nothings in any free State that dare
honestly to say they regard the constitution
arid will honestly carry its provisions into ef
fect. Over all the mantle of abolition is
spread like a pall. The little politicians who
were the first to blow up this tempest against
the foreigners and the Catholics, against Prot
estants who were adopted citizens, and na
tive citizens who were Catholics, are uncer
emoniously ordered to the rear, leaving Se
ward, Chase, Giddings,ale, L. D. Camp
bell, W. F. Johnston, Henrye Wilson, &c., in
the advance as the generals in command of
the great fusion aimy.—W askington Unzon.

Horrible Accident.
One of those dreadful accidents, the bare
recital of which causes the blood to curdle in
the veins, occurred on the New Portage Rail
road, near the foot of Plane No. 9, on Monday,
between 6 and 7 o'clock P. M. The loco
motive Hercules left the foot of Plane No. 8,
taking on board, before starting, a huckle
berry party on their way home; and, pro
ceeding at a rapid rate, came upon a land
slide, which had occurred during the after
noon, at the east end of the deep cut, near
the foot of Plane No. 9. The lecornotive in
its rapid course passed over the slide, the
concussion throwing those on board down an
embankment thirty feet high, the locomotive
following. The tender and a train of cars
attached parted from the locomotive, and re
mained upon the track. All were more or
less injured, and William Berry, son of Jacob
Berry, of Gaysport, aged about 14 years,
was most horribly mangled and instantly
killed. The following is a list of the inju
red:
Ann DeArmit, daughter of John DeAr
mit—fatally scalded; Jemima Long ; a young
lady residing at Mr. J. DeArmit's—severely
injured; Porter DeArmit—foot smashed; Ma
ry Brisbane—severely injured internally.
Mrs. Longanecker, wife of Jona Longaneck
er) Gaysport—badly bruised and cut; James
Jones, Gaysport—severely bruised; Eli Yo
der, Engineer—severely bruised and arm
scalded; Richard Shellhorn, son of Ed. Shell
horn—legs and shoulder bruised and cheek
cut; two German girls named Lonemeyer,
one a leg broken and the other severely brui
sed; Lucy Lowe, daughter of John Lowe, of
Gaysport—hand injured; Daniel Kneedler—
leg hurt; Geo. Crawford, fireman—head cut;
Geo. Aughinbaugh—slightly bruised. A
number of persons who were on the coal
cars attached, made their escape by jumping
off.
Owing to the confusion and distress exist
ing, and the many contradictory reports cur
rent, as well as the early hour at which we
go to press, the above are all the particulars
of the melabcholy event that we can glean.
Fortunately, the embankment over which
the locomotive was precipitated, had been
rendered soft by the recent rains, or the
probability is that more than half of those
injured would have been gilled.
