THE COUNTY NZWSPAPER.—We agree
with the Bucks County Intelligencer that at
this season, and during a time wh,en Teach-
er's Institutes and the subject of education
are being discussed by almost every parent
and teacher in our community; is a very
suitable occasion to advert to the advantage
of newspaper reading, and to children espe
cially. The boy or girl who has access to a
newspaper and regularly reads the contents
of its columns, is far superior in general
knowledge to that child deprived of these
advantages, and is better fitted to take his or
her place in the great battle of life, after arri
ving at years of maturity. The contents ofa
well conducted newspaper are indispensable
to the education of a family of children and
this kind of reading should be encouraged;
because it presents to them a condensation,
weekly, of the news of the whole world, a
rouses and keeps alive a spirit of inquiry and
thirst after knowledge, and besides, it pro
duces well informed men and women. We
plead for their children if parents cannot see
the benefit of newspaper reading to them
selves. Take papers for your children's sake
if for no other reason. We more particular
ly allude to this subject, because we know
that even in this county, a false notion, of
economy prevails among many persons, and
for the sake of saving a dollar and a half a
year, refuse to subscribe for a paper—others
again, have no time to read during the sum
mer. Their children must forget all they
learned during the two or three months of the
winter. Parents, your children were not
intended merely for machines of labor,—to
work, eat and sleep, and to allow the immor
. tal mind to grow up in ignorance and sur
rounded by weeds.

UNITED STATES AND ENGLAND--
CONSEQUENCES OF A WAR
A late Liverpool journal ridicules the idea
of a war between England and the United
State, and says it would be a "gland act of
national insanity." The same paper thus
speaks of some of the consequences of 'a war
between the two nations:
"England is at present engaged in a war
which costs her thirty to forty millions a year,
and is adding about twenty millions a year
to her already enormous national debt. A
war with the United States would double her
expenses, and leave her, at the end of it, with
a national debt of a thousand to twelve hun
dred millions of pounds sterling.
"England has already an urgent necessity
for every solder whom she can raise fur ser
vice in the Crimea; but, if she ;00S to war
with the United States she must find 50,000
to 60,000 additional soldiers, or abandon her
possessions in America; for, loyal as are the
people of Canada and of the British West In
dies, it is not to be supposed that they will
either be able or willing to resist the whole
military force of the United States, year after
year, during a long and desperate war, with
out the aid of a powerful English army.
"England is at present aependent on the
United States for three-fourths of the cotton
which employs her manufacturing popula
tion; and, if any considerable quantity of
grain or flour is to be obtained from any
where, this year, it will be from the United
States and from Canada. A war with Amer
ica, therefore, means bread at starvation
prices, and half our manufacturing population
starving and rioting in our streets.
"England, at present every year sends a
broad manufactured goods, and other products
of British industry, of the value of a hundred
million sterling, and receives an equal a
mount of products of foreign industry in re
turn. All this prodigious amount of national
wealth, with the ships which convey it, will
become lawful prize to a swarm of American
privateers from the day on which war is de
clared.
"In addition to the miseries and the crimes
which. such a war will produce during its
continuance, it will leave behind it the most
deadly hate between the people of England
and a people of a kindred race, who will, in
a few years, form a great community, of a
hundred millions of souls, stretching across
the North American continent, from the At
lantic to the Pocific oceans.
The writer, however, draws some consola
tion from the supposed fact that, in case of
war ; the United States would have to fight
not only England, but France, Spain, Tur
key, Denmark and Austria; that we should
be borne down by heavy taxation, harassed
by privateers, and be in danger from the
slave population. He concludes, therefore,
that both countries, would lose by a war, and
that the people had better see to it."that no
- such fratricidal conflict shall take place."
From the St. Louis Republican.
The Future of the Keystone State---
New York and Pennsylvania.
New Yoik is and long has been, the Em
pire State of our confederacy; but there aie
causes at work which are likely to reduce her
from her present proud eminence, and elevate
a sister State to the imperial position and
character she has heretofore enjoyed. Penn
sy Ivauia is the towering rival, whose porten
tious crest is looming up out of the shadow
cast by her neighbor, and reaching forth to
snatch the sceptre which that neighbor
thought would always be her own.
New Yorkers are a demonstrative people;
Pennsylvanians are the reverse. The former '
are always in commotion—holding meetings,
passing resolves, writing, speaking, talking
trading and working noisily, and thereby im
pressing on their neighbors and the world a
bewildering sense of their superior activity,
energy and enterprise. The Pennsylvanians
seem slow and steady-going; yet they are
generally earnestly and perseveringly at work
for the accomplishment of some great work,
none the less important for being less talked
of. New York has greater population, and
more votes in Congress than Pennsylvania;
but this order of things will be reversed in a
few years. Pennsylvania will be the first,
and New York the second star in the politi
cal firmament; Pennsylvania will rise, and
New York descend Doe step, thereby rever
sing their present relative positions. Does
any one ask how this will be, and is being
brought about? The answer is easy.
New York has been building railroads
from one centre—her chief city—towards the
West. - Instead of having to cut through, or go
over mountains, as Pennsylvania did, she
could go round them. Her huge canal and
gigantic lines of rail, converging at Manhat
tan Island, radiated towards the lakes on the
north. and the opening betweer. the lakes
and the mountains on the West. The enor
mous trade of nearly the whole West rolled
along the Erie and Central Railroads, orfloa
ted along the Erie Canal, to be deposited for
distribution in the warehouses and on the
quays of her chief city
But while these railroads and this canal
carried this foreign wealth through the State,
they also bore home wealth out of it. The
high prices paid within the last few years for
the very western - produce which sought a
market at New York city, together with the
facility which the railroads of the State of
fered to emigrants going West, has induced a
heavy emigration from the Empire State to
the cheap farming lands of the Northwest.
The consequence . is, that while the stream of
trade from the West has swollen the dimen
sions of New York city, the stream of trade
to the West is depleting New York State.
The former has been built up to its present
imposing proportions, at such a fabulous rap
idity, at the expense of the latter. In short,
the internal improvements of New York
State were built with an eye to commerce
alone, and nut with a view to the develop
ment of her hidden elements of wealth. The
business they do is enormous, but it is a through
business ; whose benefits are not scattered by
the wayside, but deposited in a lump in the
coffers of the merchant princes and ship own
ers of glorious Gotham.
Pennsylvania, with all the old-fogyism
charged on her, has pursusd a wiser and more
discreet policy. The Alleghenies long lay
as an almost insurmountable. barrier between
her and the West. The building of tunnels
through, and roads over, them was the work
of years. She could not run over the Alleghe
nies, to the West, as nimbly and quickly as
her rival could around them. She had,
therefore, to give up the West, measurably,
to New York, and look to a less remote
source for wealth. She turned her eyes
homeward, and saw coal veins and iron beds
inviting labor, and promising riches to those
who would turn them up. She built mills'
factories and furnaces, and filled them with
the workers whom New York sent abroad.
She built farming towns in her valleys, .and
manufacturing towns among her coal and
iron hills, and connected the two by railroads
that the farms might supply the mills with
food, while the mills supplied the farmer
with manufactures. In short, Pennsylvania
built roads to serve as channels for the reci
procal
trade of her own citizens, as well as
for the transportation of foreign through trade.
Her industry was therefore diversified, en
larged, and enhanced. She kept her citizens
at home by giving them work. No one can
fail to remark the paucity of Pennsylvanians
to be found living out of their native State, as
compared with the number of New Yorkers
to be found scattered throughout the West.
The results of these causes are what we
might naturally suppose they would be.
At the last census, New Yoik lost two Rep
resentatives in Congress, while Pennsylva
nia gained two. The causes which led to
this disparity are still at work, and will pro
duce more palpable relative changes in the
future. Peunsy Ivania is not now equal in
population or importance to her sister State ;
but she is marching to physical power and
political importance with surer and steadier
strides than her neighbor. She is increasing
more rapidly in proportion, and even the next
census may show that she has achieved the
same level with New York, from whence her
elevation to a superiority is inevitable.
In 1860, the Keystone will be also the Em
pire State of the Union, first in the developed
elements of physical wealth, first in commer
cial and political importance, and first in ca
pacity to influence the destiny of the nation.
We have no regrets to express at the prospect.
Pennsylvania is eminent for the conservatism
of her political tendencies, the soundness of
her economy, and the sagacity of her states
men. Her elevation to the post of Empire
State would insure stability and consistency
to the nation.
The Purchase of Cuba
The writers of the public press have much
to answer for, if at this crisis they do not
place before the people of both nations the
various positions of the points at issue be
tweea the two Governments. I take it for
granted that the principal bone of contention
is Cuba. The United States want it.—
France and EnglanJ are determined that it
shall not forcibly be taken from Spain. The
solution of the matter is simple. Buy it.—
Powerful as the Cabinets of the Emperor and
her Majesty are, they rely upon public opin
ion, and they must bow before the Bourse
and the Royal Exchange. Money' is the
greatest power. It is a fine thing for Lord
Palmerston to talk of the necessity of preser
ving Cuba to Spain, lest the United States
acquire undue preponderance in the West
Indies—he talks to the winds. If the Uni
ted State will give two hundred millions of
dollars of Four per Cent. Stock, one half to
be applied to the liquidation of the foreign
debt of Spain,"and the other half to the_liqui
elation of the home debt, his Lordship's ob
jections go for nothing.
Aboat three years ago, Spain decreed, with
out ia any way consulting her
. Bondholders,
that as she had not paid any interest for
many years, that she would not pay it, ex
cept by reducing the interest on the capital
from five per cent. down to three per zent.,
and by funding the arrears into a passive
debt to become active in process of time. It
now is'represEnted thus: £9,000,000 Active
Three per Cents, £30,000,000 Passive, £52,-
000,000 Defered, $7,000,000 Certificates.—
The whole of this ..£100,000,000 sterling of
Spanish indebtedness, the owner&would glad
ly exchange for the same amount in dollars,
say $100,000,000 of 4 per cent. United
States Stock ; and as this stock, though in
British currency, is largely held by Dutch,
French and Germans it follows that the own
ers would become missionaries of peace ur
ging on their governments to compel Spain
to sell Cuba. It was a sad, sad mistake,
when the United States bought the large sli
ces from the Mexican territory, that they did
not stipulate that a portion of the payment
should be in Mexican stock. Had they done
so, the capitalists would have been only too
anxious for the United States to have bought
this lot of Cuba, and would have looked anx
iously forward to the time when New Grena
da, including Panama. Ecuador, Venezuela,
and Guatemala, would have been purchased
and absorbed into the Union.
If we could believe the reports of the Span
iards themselves, the Minister in Madrid
who would mention the sale of Cuba would
be assassinated; but the question widely al
ters if he adds that the money will not only
release Spain from the incubus of a fereign
debt, bia also give in cash to every holder
of the home debt half his claim, and pay off
the whole of the current liabilities of the
treasury.—London. Correspondence of the N.
Y. Enquirer.

FALLING OFF IN IMMIGRATION
The leading journals of the Germen press,
which, previous to the rise and progress of
know-nothingism, were strong advocates of
emigration to the United States, are now, with
one accord, as strenuous in their advice to
their countrymen not to quit their homes to
settle in a land where religion and foreign
birth incapaciate them from the possession of
social and political rights.
The Allgemeine Zeitung, the paper which,
next to the London Times, has the largest
and widest circulation in the Old World,
despite its absolutist tendencies, used former
ly to contain articles on this country describ
ing our institutions and our laws in the most
eulogistic terms, and advising all those con
templating emigration to settle in Amerrca.
This is quite changed. Their correspondent
in New York, whose letters used to -describe
us as living "in the sunshine of freedom,"
(wer leben im sonnenschein, derfreiheit, ) and
our population as "the people of the good ex
ample," (das vollc des Ifuten Beispiels,) writes
no more, mid his successor here, as well as
the other correspondents of this journal
throughout the Union—men long established
in this country, of high literary standing and
republican opinions—now warn their coun
trymen against settling here, alleging as
their reason the crusade waged against all
foreigners by the know-nothing party. This
paper also devoted two columns, in two of its
numbers, to a description of the election riots
in this city, in which the full particulars of
these disgraceful proceedings were given,
with remarks the more wourding to our na
tional pride as they were undeniably and
literally true. The Ausland, another paper
of very great infl.lence, founded specially for
the diffusion of information in Germany con
cerning foreign countries, contains the fiercest
attacks upon our country and its system of
government, and not only seeks to dissuade
migrants from coming amongst us, but endea
vors to create a distrust of American securities
The Kolnische Zeitung, (daily circulation
20,000,) which used to regard every one as a
dolt or a criminal who ventured not to agree
with it in its enthusiastic laudation of the
United States, has also changed its tone com
pletely, and is as violent as the rest of its
contemporaries in its denunciation of the
know-nothings and of know-nothingism.
The National Zeitung, too, a very influen
tial daily newspaper in Berlin, the organ
more particularly of the middle classes in
Prussia, and more dem3cartic in its opinions
and tendencies than the Kolnische, now ad
vocates the same opinions concerning the
know-nothing movement and the emigration
question,
and
in other respects it ap
proves and admires the principle of self-gov
ernment as practised in the United States.—
These journals are sustained again in their
views of the above question by publication
such as the Atlantische Studien, a periodical
published since 1853 in Germany, written by
Germans resident in the United States, and
highly valued as a calm anti sensible exposi
tion of American affairs.
In the grand Duchy of Hesse Darmstadt,
whence, notwithstanding the most active ex
ertion of the government to prevent it, num
bers used to emigrate every year; since the
riot in Louisville and Cincinnati have been
made known there, emigration has almost
entirely ceased; and throughout the country
panoramas are exhibited by showman in the
streets—by express instigation of the govern
ment—representing the slaughter of the. Ger
mans by the know-nothings. These exhibi
tions, accompanied by the most inflated and
exaggerated description of the horrors they
purport to represent, naturally have a very
great influence on the minds of the peasantry,
and deter them from taking their means and
their labor to a country where they are told
that their brethren are oppressed and illtrea
ted) if not murdered because they are foreign
ers.
The consequences of this are obvious: they
are exhibited in the great falling off in the
number of German immigrants during the
last year. The loss of labor and capital is
easily calculated, and, we ask, is it compen
sated by the advantages which the know
nothings promise to confer upon usl We
distinctly answer no. The damage which
the anti-foreign party has already done and
will yet do to the vital, material interests of
our country, by the check given to the tide of
foreign immigration, is palpable, and may be
computed; while the benefit to be derived
from the triumph of know-nothingism is
mere matter of conjecture.
Fria the Phila. Evening Argus.
Pardon of Dr. Beale.
The State Executive has granted a pardon
to Dr. Stephen T. Beale,who was sentenced
in November last for four years and six
months imprisonment for an alleged outrage
upon Miss Mudge. The case was peculiar
in many of its aspects, and there hris been
from the first in public mind great doubt as
to Dr. Beate's guilt, and this sentiment has
induced constant and peraerving effort to se
cure his liberation. The Governor in grant
ing the pardon states his reasons for so doing
at considerable length. He had received ,
communications from about one hundred and i
forty dentists, twenty-three physicians of ,
this city and country, stating their belief that
testimony as to matters transpiring under the
influence of ether is unsafe and unreliable;
from a number of other physicians named, i
that they believe him innocent; from a large I
number of the bar, and citizens of various
States, including the names of Governors,
Attorney General, &c., that they believe he
was convicted on insufficient testimony; from
a number of Clergymen, that they believe ,
him innocent; from - the Mayor of Philadel
phia, and fifty members of the Philadelphia ,
City Councils; from members of the Legisla-
Judges of the Supreme Court, editors of
Philadelphia newspapers, and five thousand
other citizens of Pennsylvania and New York
with five of the jury on the trial, all asking
for his pardon. After enumerating all these
facts, the Governor says:—
And Whereas, The Board of Inspectors of
the-said Philadelphia County Prison, (as ap
pears by their communication on file in the
office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth,
have unanimously recommended the pardon
of the said Dr. Stephen T. Beale, because, in
their opinion, the end contemplated by the
law in the moral reform of the prisoner has
been attained—because full and ample satis
faction has been rendered to public sentiment
by the imprisonment he has already under
gone—because his health is undoubtedly
breaking down under the sufferings of body
and mind, which he has already endured, and
because the destitute condition of his aged
parents and bereaved and sorrowing wife and
e,
children imperatively demand the presence
and support of their son, husband and father.
And whereas, after a full and careful ex
amination of the facts and evidence in- the
case, aided by the scientific discussions to
which it has given rise, (without any inten
tion to reflect upon the prosecution, who no
doubt testified to what she believed did occur
nor to impugn the integrity of the learned
Judge who tried the case, nor the honesty of
the jury who convicted the prisoner,) I am
now satisfied that the defendent, Dr. Stephen
T. Beale, is not guilty of the crime whereof
he stands charged, and was convicted upon
evidence unreliable in its character and in
sufficient in amount.
I do, therefore, in consideration of the
premises, pardon the said Dr. Stephen T.
Beale of the crime whereof he is convicted as
aforesaid, and he is hereby fully pardoned ac
cordingly.
The pardon was brought to the city on
Wednesday evening, and Dr. Beale .immedi
ately released from prison. He had served
out about one year of his term of imprison
ment.
r7The opposition papers are commenting
on the release of Passmore Williamson as a
victory over Judge Kane. On this subject
the Philadelphia Ledger, an independent pa
per, comments as follows:
"The efforts made to mislead the public in
reference to this case, were as injurious to
the supremacy of the law, as they were fatal
to the prisoner himself. It was Passmore Wil
liamson's misfortune to be made the tool of
politicians, who clamored in his behalf for
their o wu purposes, but who never cared for
his sufferings, and who now that their ends
a:e served, at last advisee him to do just what
he should have done when first committed.
if the case had nothing to do with slavery,
there would be a universal agreement that
Mr. W. was in the wrong. In any other
case, if a respondent had defied or evaded the
writ of the Court, his commitment for con
tempt would have been regarded, by all, as
simply a necessary vindication of the law."
MURDER OF A YOUNG WOMAN.—The.Pitts
burg Journal gives the following particulars
of a shocking murder committed on the 4th
instant near Guify's landing, on the line of
the Pittsburg and Connellsville railroad :
"The murdered girl was Mary Madden;
the murderer a young man named Linehan.
Mr. Madden, the father of the deceased, keeps
a grocery shanty. On Sunday afternoon
Linehan visited Madden's shanty and asked
for liquor, which was refused him. He be
came enraged, and angry words passed from
both sides, when Linehan left, but returned
some time afterwards and forcibly entered
Madden's shanty with a loaded pistol in his
hand, and avowing his determination to
shoot Madden if he did not give him whis
key. Miss Madden, seeing Linehan raising
his hands to shoot her father, rushed in be
tween them imploring him not to shoot her
father. Linehan fired, and the girl received
the contents of the pistol, the ball passing
through her hand and thence through her
abdomen. The unfortunate girl survived but
a few hours. The murderer escaped."
KNOCKED DOWN.—The Philadelphia Sun
day Mercury tell a good story of a fellow in
that city, who, a few days since, stole a firkin
of butter from a grocery store, and ran off
with it on his shoulder. When the butter
was missed, the thief was of course pursued
by the owner and a crowd of men and toys,
crying, "stop thief !" Being fleet of foot,
the rogue had every prospect of escaping; but,
in an unlucky moment, he attempted to
shift his load from one shoulder to the other,
and in doing so, passed it under his nose,
when (as he himself declared•in the Mayor's
office) the scent of the butter was so powerful
that it immediately knocked him down! This,
of course, enabled the crowd to overtake and
capture him.
SAD EFFECTS OF ADULTERATED LIQUOR.
Coroner's inquests were held, on Sunday, on
the bodies of two men, whose lives have deen
brought to an untimely end ,under peculiarly
painful circumstances, by the use of spurious
liquor, which is evidently sold by the small
measure in many parts of the city—in secret,
if not in open defiance of the law, and to the
imminent peril of the drip kers' lives, to say
nothing of the disturded peace and good or
der of the community. One case, held by
Coroner Baldwin, especially - betrays a pro
gress in this criminal traffic which is truly
startling. The body of a man was found,
Sunday afternoon, lying dead under a shed in
Lock street, and on examination of the case
by Dr. G. Grant, indicated that the death
was caused by a powerful narcotic poison.—
If appeared, moreover, by further investiga
tion that he had indulged too-freely in a com
pound called "Cat," which is supposed to be
a mixture of cider, spirits turpentine sulphu
ric acid and tobacco juice, and it is said to be
sold in all-the low groggeries of that vicini
ty to boatmen and others. The Coroner re
turned a verdict of death by .poison. He
leaves a wife and family, who reside in Acad_
emy street. When found he had a bottle in
his pocket containing some of poison . —New -

ILL'e RAILROADS DO FOIL FARMERS.—The
following paragraph from the Athens (Tenn )
Post shows what railways do for farmers The
farmers of the three counties named derive a
clear profit this year alone on the single article
of wheat of more than $200,000, from the rail
way. Their 400,000 bushels of wheat sell for
more than it would have realized if there had
been no railway to take it off :
C-Wits.AT.—The price continues at $l, One
hundred and nineteen wagons unloaded at the
depot here on Thursday, the 16th. This coun
ty will export, of the late yield of the harves',
one hundred and sixty thousand bushels. Oth
er counties along the line of the railroad will
perhaps do as well. The three counties of
Bradly, McMinn and Mon oe, from the informa
on now in our possession, we have no doubt
will sell for export over 400,000 bushels at an
average of $1 per bushel. Here then is the snug
sum of between four and five hundred thousand
dollars diffused among the people of these coun
ties for the single article of wheat alone, the pre
duct of a single harvest. Bo x much wheat
did these same counties export before the rail
road was built, and at what price ? Not from
than twenty-five thousand bushels, and that
small amount was sold at an average of fifty
cents per bushel. In the mean while lands have
quadrupled in value, and the owners have actu
ally become rich by the enhancement, almost
withott an effort of their own."
A CRUCIFIXION IN CHINA.—An American )
writing from China to the New York Times
after giving an acconnt of the numerous exe
cutions of the rebels, says :
Two weeks since, to vary the scene, they
had a crucifixion. A woman was sentenced
to be crucified for the crime of having given
birth to one of the rebel chiefs. If a father is
a rebel, his family is considered the same,
and the whole family, from the old man of
four-score to the child of four years share the
same fate. The poor worrian was nailed to
the cross while living, a gash made across the
forehead to the bone, and the skin pealed
down so as to hang over the eyes; after which
the breasts were cut off; they then proceeded
to break every bone in her body; a large knife
was next thrust into the throat and passed
downward, cutting the chest open. The ex
ecutioner then thrust in his hand, and grasp
ing the heart, tore it from its socket, and laid
it beating and reeking before the judge. At
Shanghao they drow them by dozens.
TilE Curca.oo GRAIN MinKET.—According
to the Chicago Journal there has been shipped,
since the opening of navigation to the present
time, thirteen millions one hundred and sixty
two bushels of grain. This does not include
shipments by railroad. Over seven and a half
millions of the above amount consisted of corn,
and upwards of four and a half millions of
wheat.
