" Is a man.who'Avcelay advertises himself as
a " RATE" worthy•thahigh ind honorable posi
tion of an editor, and should he not be si.w•ned
from the society "and' felloUtOdp honorable
men ?"—llurtiinguon American.
Why ask"that question.' Don't you know
that the honorable fraternity everywhere by
an established rule despise and condemn a
ratting individual as unworthy the " society
and fellowship," the countenance and sup.
•port of honorable. men ? The editor of the
"Journal" is a RAT, he rats his advertising,
and lie rats in his job'work, such' as it is, and
would you believe it, he glories in his shame.
in the most conspicuous places of our town
he has posted bills-upon which 'are printed in
large tut- scarcely legible" characters the as
_
tunniling infofrnatiOn that job work can be
Jone 2,o2per -cent. cheaper - than 'at any „
other
and upon which are also displayed
the pictures of a: monstrous big rat! We
therdfore Say he is, not '',worthy the high and
honorable - position of an editor;” he - should
44 be spurned from the'society and felloviship
of honorable men." . .
There is no law (among printers) forbidding
the ; destruction of "rats," and if the editors
of the American have no conscientious scru
ples,about engaging in the business, we will
cheerfully furnish them with an excellent re
ceipt for that purpose. VVe have tried it on
the varmints in our cellar. It works well.
COMMUNICATIONS.
MR. EDITOR : It will be necessary for the
Danoocratvic'party •in • a short time to select,
among other candidates, one in this District
for Congress, and the attention 'of the voters
rA - rould lie tut:tied - to:the ieiy best riteirin our
midst for. that:office and to none others. It is
time to wipe out the disgrace of being repre
seated' by men Who are intellectually and mor
ally the inferiors of , nine tenths of their con 7
stituents. • •
now' respectfully bring to
,the notice of
the party in this county arid dis
trict a worthy'man and a good democrat who
has never intruded himself upon public notice,
TILIDDEUS BANKS, Esq , of .Hellidaysburg..:---
He has the qualities whichare needed to make
a good representative ; ability and integrity:
both manifested by his success and standing
in his own profession: It may be that it
would require a personal sacrifice by
,Mr.
BANKs to accept any political (Alice, but that
is just the reasou .why he,should. be elected.
Men who seek office becanso - their own mer
its cannot . secure success in any thing else,
have disgraced therpeciPle long enough. Let
us select those who. do not seek it, but attend
diligently and successfully to Theis 9-war busi
ness. Such a -man is Mr. Banks, and it-would
afford his numerous friends in Huntingdon
county pleasure to have the oppoitunity of
supporting him for. Congress.
HUNTINGDON ; ; June 9; 1856
TRAPPE D PA., June 1855
MY DEAR spent--a short time at
Pottstown, your native place—the scene of
your youthful sports, and pranks of halcyon
days. Anxious to visit The Trappe,villa is
easily accessible ;by daily stages; 1 came here.
There is t - nuch of interest that clusters around
this place. There is the old, Lutheran Church,
venerable with age." The tornbS; that hold
the.remains of great and good men, are here
—of such as the Mohlenbercie, of "Honest
Franlc," once goyernor of Penniyloirania.—
The scenery, as far as eye can carry, is of
the most imposing kind. The people are en
terprising, moral, intelligent, courteous—the
stranger feels at home arnidst 'these sternly
honest GermanS. : The facilities for- educa
tion are unsurpassed: Three of the very
best educational establishments within a dis
tance of one mile and a half—all well attend
ed. Each deserving a special notice: The
first in order, ,is The. Trappe Washington
Hall, commenced March 703,1830, now con
ducted,by _ABEL RAninc, A. 8., a graduate of
Pennsylvania College. He has been here
seven years. His accommodations are am
ple. The course of instruction liberal r and
-thorough. The terms reasonable. There is
one thing peculiar and worthy •of resnar.k :
the Principal, though assisted by that widely
known teacher of Music, Professor 13ntatx-
FUSS, imparts instruction in vocal and instru
mental music - hiraselr once or twice each
week. I
So w,ell known is this HALL, because of its
thorough English, Classical, Lingual, Mathe
matical and'Musical course, that pupils flock
to if from every part of the country. A visit
to tlie_place—a personal interview with kr.
RAALBO, convince the most sceptical and
parsipionious that this is the place to have
his son 'prepared for• a Teach,er, of a school of
.advanced standing—for college—for business'
in general. The charges, per annum, inclu
.ding board and tuition, about $125.
Catalogues giving particulars, will be sent,
I believe, by addressing ABEL RAMBO, A.
Trappe,"Pa. . ,
Fearful that I may prove too tedious,
_I
must close now, and hereafter notice FREE
LAND Swaim/Lair of which Rev. HENRY A.
HUNSIGKER, is Principal ; arid, THE PENN
SYLVANIA FEMALE COLLEGE, at Peiliomer
Bridge, Montgomery county, Pa., established
1851 and chartered 1853. J. W. SUNDER
LAND, L. L. B. is Principal of the latter.
Lamc—Tho reply of the Jouinai to the let
ter of A. W. Benedict. That's so, entirely.
Is anything more contemptible, more,nusil,
lanimous thaw the cringingof jackanapes to
to
men they despise, because forsooth-tliey may
answer their purposcs. such is the pscsent„
feeling between Lewis. of the Globe, and his
stool pigeon, little Aidy Benedict. Lewis de
spises him, hilt Lewis is incapable of, writing ;
Aidy can .biacliguard, therefore Aidy answers
Lewis' purpose. —Huntingdon Journal.
It is but necessary for. us to sayin replying
to the above, that it comes from the hand of
the "juvenile associate" alluded to in the let
ter of, A. W. BEN.EDICT, Esq., published_ in
the Globe and American two weeks ago, and ,
which: , we may hereafter .re,publish for his
especial 'benefit arid consolation. " Without

said," but the ipso dixit of a self-convicted
perjurer can be of little account.

POSTAGE ON LETTERS.L-It deems that there
are great-many people who will not under
stand that pre 7 . payment of postage is, in -all
cases required by-the law--:and that unless
the'postage is paid upon their letters, when
put into the office, they must be detained by
the Postmaster. If persons or parties wish
their lettets to reach correspondents—they
must, in all cases;pay the postage.
THE BROAD Top Pic Nic.—The excursion
party-composed of ladies aruf gentlemen from
Philadelphia, Lewistown, Miillintown, Hol
lidaysburg and Huntingdon, with an excellent
brass band, froin Altoona; which left this
place for Broad Top on yesterday 'morning,
had i a most delightful time of it. Walt
son, . President of the Company, and Mr.
Boon, Superintendent of the Road, took
charge of the train, and with the assistance
of several of their careful employees,- the
party arrived at a beautiful grove at the town
of Barnett ; some thirty miles up the road, and
returned in - the evening without the slightest
accident occurring.
The extensive collation - , prepared by Mr.
Eclaris Thomas, cannot be beat.
THAT CatavENTroN l .—The Republican Coun
ty-Convention which assembled in this place
on Saturday 31st ultiino, was a decided fail

country being in attendance. The " Conven

Wra. Brewster delegates to attend another
Con vention•somewhere else. The William

beautifully less."
[I:7I3.LAER COUNTY- ART UNION!—It

We would therefore advise all- who intend to

this ,paper.
fr'Bliss E. McClure, teacher of one of
the public schools in I.Twchlan — township,
Chester-county, was recently dismissed by
the beia - rd of directors, for refusing to open
and sweep out the school house, and make
the fires every morning, as they demanded of
her. For the purpose olaseertaining wheth
er the directors had any authority to exact
such service from her, in addition to the du
ties they employed her to preform, she ad
dressed a letter of inquiry to the School De
partment, and received the following prompt
reply :
MADAM :—YOur letter of the 18th, just
received, discloses an almost incredible
amount of stupidity and perversity on the
partof your-directors. The services they re
quire of, you in the way of making fires fg.c.,
are- do part of 'your professional duties, and
do not enter into your contract—and if the
directors continue to refuse to make provision
for the schools in this matter, we shall with
hold the State appropriation from that district
for the current year, in which.case they will
become indiViduaily liable for the amount
thus lost through their delinquency. -
Please give me the names and post office
address of the Presiderit of the -Board, so that
I can write to them on the 'subject. Very .
respectfully yours,

VERITAS
MURDER.—Saturday evening last, several
soldiers were coming up East Louther srteet,
when one of them named Richard M'Greevy,
drew a knife and stabbed another named
Thomas M'Gary, in the side, inflicting a
wound from which M' Gary died on Monday
morning. They were not quarrelling at the
time, but we understand, that there has been
a "grudge" between the assassin and his vic
tim for some time. The perpetrator . of
.the
deed is now .in our jail - awaiting his trial
for murder, at the August term.. An inquest
was helion the body by coroner Thompson,
and V-e fact was clearly proved, that the
death was caused by the wound inflicted by
the prisoner.—The following is the - statement
made on oath by M'Gary, shortly after the
occurrence:
"On Saturday evening the 31st of May,
between 7 and 8 o'clock, I met Richard M'-
Greevy and asked him why he called me a
son of a b—h, and I . drew back to strike him
and he left and r went up street. I spoke to
him again and then .he turned round and
stabbed me."
While we cannot but regret the commis
sion of the deed in our borough, we are glad
that it was not done by any of our citizens,
and we hope•tbat it mill-prove a warning to
those valorous persons who carry weapons,
for the laudible purpose of resenting insult,
and flatter themselves that they mean only to
use thetnin self-defence.—Carlisle Demberat

STILL LATER FROM KANSAS ! !
EIGHT AUIN BILLED ! I
Outrages by the Abolitionists 1 0 1
KANSAS CITY, May 27.
This following highly interesting and au
thentic letter we take from the Independence
Dispatch, Extra. The rumors collated of this
foul and bloody massacre are so uniting that
there is but little space, if any, to doubt its
correctness—however, much we hope to hear
it reliably contradicted. If true, there is an
indignation which will be avenged against
each who so cowardly participated in the
INHUMAN deed! In human,' we say, becalise
these hireling Free State mauraders fled from
1, -the face of their foe—a foe that had met_ them
; at their own solicitation, to 'the settlements of
I peaceable citizens, and there committhe most
dastardly outrages, ever' chronicled. The
following pro-slavery men are known to have
been killed—three, by, the name of Doyle,
three Sherman's, a Mr. Whitaker and Wilker-
Son. The messenger whubrought the infor
mation to Franklin, Icy., states that he_ saw
the - party who were murdered ; . they we're
cut to pieces and hop - ibly- mangled. ,
Here is the letter. i
FRANICLIN COUNTY, K. T., -
. Sunday lVforning, May 25, 1856.
To the Hon. Governor of ..Kansas Territory,
or the Hon. Daniel Woodson Secretary of the
Territory : - ' •
GENTLEaIEN :—I will inform your Honors
that there is a mob of the Yankees iii this
part of the Territory, - committing dreadful
outra g es-of the most savage character. •
An Expressarrived this morning at my
place of residence, from Potawafomie Creek;
with information that an organised band of
Abolitionists, at a very late hour at night,
attacked the houses of the Pro-Slavery men
and tore them from their families and murder
ed them in a most savage manner.
The informer states that he believes nearly
all the Pro-Slivery• men on Potawatornie'
Creek were murderd last night.
This is to inform you that it is 'now high
time to send troops, without delay. Send
immediate relief until other arrangements
can be made, and further information can be
had.
Yours in baste,
SAM'L M. ROBERTSON,
Countj , Commissioner of Franklin C 8
Pro-Slavery Families Driven Awav
Since the above was in type, we have just
learned that two Pro-Slavery families, were
roughly driven from their homes on Hickory
Point by a snob of Abolitionists. They were
not permitted to take with them any of their
stock (about 200 head) of cattle or. - negroes.
The negroes, though afterwards made their
escape and followed their masters to this place
and crossed with them into Clay county.
The names of the Pro-Slavery men are Feelan
and. Jones.—These families were the last to
leave Hickory Point, the balance having been
driven away previously.
The Abolitionists went .to 'their housea
about 12 o'clock at night - , ordered them to
leave immediately without making any
preparations whatever. They then gathered
around a,negro man and.troman, and told
them to' remain in the Territory—that
they should be free &c.—to which the two
consented; a young ne,gro' girl" refused to'
remain with them, and was,' after great hes
itation porrnited to accompany her master. •
From the Kansas City' Enterprise of May' 31
Kansas---Purtlier Particulars
We are'permitted by Jos. C. RANSOM, Esq.,
of this City, to make the following' extract
from a private letter addressed to him by
Mr. SHARKEY, of Osowattomie. The state
ments of Mr. S. are en ttrely'reliable and fully
confirm the horrid murders spoken of it: our
extra of the 27th. This letter as will be seen
shows the number of persons murdered to be
dire instead of eight as reported:
"OSOWATTOM.T.E.', K. T., May 28.
* There is quite an excitement in
this place and all the country is in an uproar
in regard to the murder of five pro-slavery
men. There' was a party -of persons who
went.to their houses last Saturday night and
called the parties out and then killed them.—
Mr. SBERMAN had his head split open and
was otherwise mutilated, and then thrown
into Potowattamie creek. Mr. DOYLE was
called out and stabbed in several places—
head split open and .cut across the face and
his ears both cut - off. His two sons were
killed at the same time, by being stabbed in
several places and cut' all to pieces. Mr.
WILKERSON was used in the same manner;
his head was cut open and body cut in sever
al places. It is one of the most horrible out
rages that has been committed in Kansas.
There are hard times ahead and we do not
knoiv what will come to pass."
In addition to this, we are informed by Mr-
STOTTS, who left Osovvattomie on the 28th)
that the citizens of that'plice were highly
inflamed at the perpetration of these diabol
ical murders, and bad arrested• one and per
haps three of.the murderers, and were using
every exertion. to bring- the others to punish
ment, who, he informs us are known and
number sixteen, well armed and , mounted,
and very desperate. Mr. Sroras further in
forms us that while passing in the woods
near Osowa:tomie, on Tuesday- last, he met
one of these. desperadoes, who presented a
gun to his faCe and demanded, to know if he
was a Free State man, and upon being an
swered in the affirmative, the dastard brute
permitted him to pass without further moles
tation. Such are the legitimate fruits of Bee
cher Bibles, and the . rebellion instigated by
the British emissaries to whom RI:EDER, Rom
/MON, BROWN' & Co., have been playing sec
ond fiddle, in instigating this wicked insur
rection. ,

To School Directors : Decision No. 11, on
page 56 of the Pamphlet copy of the " School
Law and. Decisions," does not correspond with
the general practice over the State, and is also
ihund to he erroneous to some extent as a matter
of law, inasmuch us it improperly exempts
" trades, occupations and professions," of a less
value than two hundred dollars, from taxation
for School purposes. it.was so regulated to cor
respond with the State tax on occupations, but
the 29th and 30th sections of the School Law
. adjust the School tax to the County as well as
State tax; and as occupations under two hun. ‘
dred dollars are not exempt from taxation for
County purposes, it follows as a necessary con
sequence that they •are liable to taxation for
School purposes. The various acts of Assembly,
with regard to County tax arc exceedingly ob
scure and unintelligible with regard to the man.
ner of assessing the -tax on occupations; hut
the soundest rule of practice to' be gathered
from them will.iie for Directors to assess ‘ oc
cupations" for School purposes at such rate per
cent., as the necessities of the District may re
quire, not exceeding thirteen mills on the dollar,
except where the tax at the rate thus fixed
would not amount to fifty cents, in which case
it should he fixed at that specific sum, accord.
ing to the proviso to the 30th section of the
School law.
•
Where the duplicate has-already been made
out,'Directors can recall and amend, it. accord
ing to the instructions contained in this circu
lar. The other tax decisions in the Pamphlet
copy of the School Law conform to the acts of
Assembly and decisions of the courts, and arc
