So far as we can judge, the crop of wheat will fall

compelled to omit several articles Intended for
this week's paper.
03Mr. F. M'CRaADY has taken a Room at the
house of. Mr. Wm. Gillespie, for the purpose of
teaching the arts of Penmanship, Drawing and
Painting. From a hasty glance at the performan
ces of this gentleman, we are justified, we believe,
in bespeaking -for him that which his talents rich.

TO THE PUBLIC.
A sense of duty to the public, as well as to my
self induces me, reluctantly, to appear, in this
manner, in my defence against an attack made
in the last Star, a paper printed in this place, upon
my "fidelity and official integrity." lam there
charged with- violating my "fidelity and - official
integrity," in visiting Jacob Lefever t in prison—.
_find a m i sstatement as to facts,
As this charge is made in a public paper; and
the "facts laid before the public, who will judge"
of them—it is becoming for me to meet them in
the same manner before the same tribunal—a tri.
-- burtariTn - Whith - T iepof full corifiZtirce, for a cm.:
- ' reef verdict.
What are the duties of a Prosecuting Attorney?
He is "appointed and deputed by the Attorney Gen.
• tral to implead and prosecute in the name and
-on behalf of the Commonwealth, allcriminala, what.
soever for any qffences done or perpetrated within
hie county. And to sign all indictments in and
with the name of , the Attorney General; and to
sue out all recogmarances to the Commonwealth
which may became forfeited, or ought ho be sued,
• in the saidlAotiety on behalf of the said Common
wealth; and to do end perform before all courts
and tribunals aft WA+ *logs which of right are,
-or heretofore have been incident to the duty of a
public prosecutor." . Hence it is evident, that af
ter 'a person is convicted,-and sentenced by the
court, my duty and authority terminate. The
'convict is ordered into the custody of the Sheriff,
who is the officer to carry, the sentenceinto effect.
I have no right to control or interfere with his
duty in that respect, in any way. Consequently
that part of the charge, which represents it to be
my "duty to Bee the impartial execution of the gen.
tence;" "and that, instead of comforting and aid
ing the prisoner it was his (my) duty to see that
he (Lefever) suffered those privations, which his
sentence was intended to inflict;" either emanatos
from an ignorance of my duty or, which is
more probable, from a disposition to impose a fa.
brication,upon the public, to my prejtidice.
' What was the charge against Lefever and what
his sentence ? Ho was charged with writing and
- publishing in the Republican Compiler of which
he is the Editor and Proprietor, a libel. This is
considered in law a misdemeanour, not a crime— .
and is indictable, because it has a tendency to a
' -breech of the peace Crimes are felonies, such as

OUR REMARKfI.
We/ insert the communication , :of ANDREW G.
Miu.aa, Esq. because w' b will never shut our col
umns against any man, who may deem himself
agrioved by any remarks of ours.
We took occasion to inform the public ofesrtarn
acts ofbis, which we thought unbecoming his.sta.
tion, as-publka prosecutor, and, we-will-nolo add,
unbecoming any respectable private citizen. We
will see how far the -facts stated by himself, and
his vouchers, disprove what we stated. He has
exhausted his legal lore to show that his imprison.
ed friend was not convicted of a crime: We aro
not skilled in law, (not having had even the piacti
cal knowledge of our brother of the Compiler,) but
•we had always supposed, that all public offences
which wore proceeded against and punished by
indictment, were called crimes, however they
might be - sub=divided into felonies and misdemean
ors—so at least, in common parlance they , ire
underetocid, and that is enough/or our purpose.
I Mr. Miller RR
filler says, that he happened to be at the
Post-Office, and that he and Mr. Dell were con
versing about the unexpected severity of the sen
tence when they agreed to go to the jail to visit
the convict. That while there, they held no con
fidential or legal conversation' with him; and that,
that was the only - time that he was there that daY,
and that he did not then give advice against the
Comm onwealth. The exact time when an act is
done, is not material, either in law or morals, as
the learned gentleman is aware- We will put •
few questions to hi.n, which, it he answers truly,
will show what he did do:---
Did you visit the prisoner in jail at any other
time during that week, or the first day of the
next? And if so, what was your business there;
was it connected with liberating him from prison?
Did you give any counsel or advice relative to
procuring his pardon; sign any petition, or write
any letter to the Governor thereon.
Did you visit Harrisburg on the succeeding
Sunday- and while there, did you visit the Gov.
ernor relative . thereto? And if so, did you advise
in favor or against the Commonwealth?
Answer these questions, and.we willf probably,
then state cortainfacts which are connected with
thorn. •
But let us look at the case, as he has presented
it, and see how it stands. Ho has given his own
statement, and two certificates. These witnesses
all belong to the same firm; are all supporters of
the "handmaid." We do not sly, that their tes.
timony has any I"mental reservation;" but we
• tatathiaract,_that-tho- people-rnay-judge-of r tbei
credit, when testifying -in masonic matters.
Mr. Miller says, he considefe his duty as ended,
when he has prosocuted_the offenderto_nenvietion.
.it to be understood, that when sentence is pass
ed, the corotnonwealth's counsel have no fbrther
.supervision over the prisoner ?. -- Tae Ts permit.
ted to escape, has the prOsecuting attorney no du.
ty to perform in relation thereto? If the sentence
ie imperfectly carried into effect, is the State's At
torney to close his eyes,& permit it,because he has
prosecuted him to conviction? In short, is he to
him round the • next moment after sentence, and
do all in his power to nullify it? Are such acts
as these consistent with "drain/ integrity?" We
think not, end that nnthing_but ignorance wouflii
suppose so.
Mr. Miller seems to_ think that a man who is
convicted of a misdemeanor, and sentenced to im
prisonment therefor, is not subjected to an "in.
famous" punishment, 'but is enjoying his "ease
with dignity:" is sitting for company; and that it
is no disgrace to visit, console and sympathise
with him.' We know not how the public prose.
outor may view thia herding with convicts, and
condoling with them, because flurries has everts
ken them. It may suit "birds of a feather;" but
honorable men would shrink from thy contamina
tion. Mr. Miller would wish the public Wunder.

severe and sinelpected. Are those Men really en.

sentiments? If they do, It proves that they have
placed too. low an estimate upon t, fair character,
to be able to understand its value in themselves
and others. Bever* sentence indeed t VI be inflict.

And is it en, that he who mourns or sympathies
because the guilty are punithed, is not censure:

-the-enlprit—himrlf?--Bnt--pyringstuthe
leansed gentleman will quote precedents. We
know *he can find ene,..analogous to this in all its
points Eli Bruce,filieriff of Niagara coupty, New
York, was convicted of a "misdemeanor" fin' con
spiring to kidnap and carry away Capt. William
Morgan, and sentenced to _two years imprison-
ment in the jail of the county. His 'friends"
proclaimed him a "rrsecuted" man. (By friends
we do not mean relatives, except of the .mystic
tie.) Thiy set about wiping off the disgrace ofhis
punishment; attempting to undo what the law had
done. They "sympathised" with him under his
"unexpected" sentence. The most respectable of
the Fraternity in . that neighborhood--among oth
ers, a Clergymaeof the Order—visited him in
prison; iiay, they even brought their wives and
daughters . to visit him, and take tea with him:—
And when the term of hie sentence had expired,
they carried him from the jail in triumph, in a
coach and four, followed by several carriages, fill
ed with well dressed . "friendly': Was not this
mocking the laws, and "counselling against the
Commonwealth"? Will such conduct either there
or here, be vindicated by any man of honor? By
any, but the servile lacquies—the shameless pan
. ere of this "Whore of Babylon"? If the Mason
ic Post -muster, and Deputy Attorney General,
find matter of boasVn such things, we envy , not
their sense of honor, or "honest duty."
The:gentleman says--a" Mr. Martin and Mr. lien
were kind enough to hand him their certificates"!
Now, the truth is, the certificates which wore acci
dently handed to him; Fate all in his own hand
writing, except the signatures.
Mr. Miller intimates, that we are attempting
to hang clogs to him to prevent his ascension.—
He says, "I wish 'not - tii fiiie on the downfall of
any person." He would do well then to leave off his
malignant scribblings for that vehicle of infamy,
the Compiler. Nothing was farther fiom our
thoughts than to attempt to retard his flight.—
"Rise on the downfall"? He rise indeed! Who
ever thought of such an accident? Not we, sure.

fected in the same way that feathers and balloons

We have done with Mr. Miller. We believe
the public, as well as ourself, are sick of him.—
We despair of reforming him. Giving him good

reason. None on the other tickets can be genuine

-RPORT:
That we ran the route,.frogs the head of
Monococy on the east side of Rock creek,
to the ofßack'rui, where we re-cross
ed said Week, and thence up said 'run to its
souroti and to the toummit, on &mil Sloan's
farm, andliem thence to Get tysburg. We
found the distance from M onococy to, the
summit to. be 2479 perches; 1650 of which,
to wit, frOn they-foot of Mcinney's meadow
to the summit, is an inclipe4 plane, on which,
in the whole distance; there need not be a
foot of rise lost; but a continual ascent kept,
(probably, With moderate digging in 2 or 3
places, a continual rise might be kept up,
from Monococy the;' whole ;distance;) that
the ground is remarkably even except in .&
places: the Aid, a bluff of red, sock
Allison's of perhaps 50 perches, but not high;
the 2nd a space of small rocks below Mieh'l
Miller's of about 80 or 90 perches—and the
other aawe of rocks on. huld,of Jacob

f West Streets is 380 parches, in which there
is but 24 feet fall, (about 20 filet to the mile,)
and may be kept at a Continual descent the
whole distance with very little digging, as
the ground is very level.. . We have also as
eel tauied, principally from actial. levelling,
1
that the summit is 175 feet highe than the
head of Monococy, which ia2479 perches:
therefore, if the same grade cool be kept,
the rise would be about 22 feet to the mile.
The whole distance we found to be 8 miles
arid 299 perches, (which is one mile and pa
perches more than a direct line)L---whic.h,
from the goodnetis of the - , gnotn:Kl, need not'
be increased much - in locating the road.
(Ilion the whole, we think it perfectly 'prac
ticable, at a reasonable expense; and the
best route we have ever seen for that pur
pose; and recommend to the meeting to take
immediate measures for obtaining a charter.
After the above report was read, the fol
lowing resolutions, offered by T. Stevens, ,
Esq. were adopted--
Resolved, That it is expedient for the ci
tizens of Adams county, to petition the next
Legislature, to incorporate a Company to
make a Rail Road from Maryland line to
Gettysburg, to intersect the Rail Road now
making from Baltimore to the heads wa

Resolved, That a committee of twelve
be appointed to procure signatures to said
petition.
