The Bishop of the Rhine, who monopo lized the corn, refused to Bell, and was eaten up by the rats, may or maj not have been real : it in at least a good fable. In a time when the aggregate crops of the Uuited States as well as of the Old World seems to be of an unprecedented large amount, it does not hurt the feelings of any decent innn to learn that the heart less speculators in the "staff of lift)" are reaping, cveu in this life, some of the fruits of their misdeeds and oppressions of : the poor. Wheat has been contracted for in Buffalo city at SI, and in Louisville at .I5 cents, in large quantities ; and yet there are these in the seaboard cities, and in the best grain growing vicinities, who contrive to keep up the price of Wheat at 62, at a time when wages and salaries gen erally are not increased. This is necessa rily a hardship to the poor and middling classes in community, who, although they dn and must avoid superfluities and ex travagances, must feed their households. As the poor ars generally most blessed with children, the hardship of course most affects them.

He de livered a very able address "The oldest Printer on Record," was earnestly reques ted to furnish a copy for publication, but respectfully declined, which proves be has also an abundant stock of modesty. He is a monster potato, and many in a hill. Dr. J. Henry Puleston, ( Pittston 0t- ette,) is so thin that we are unable to com prebend how he keeps his "vittlcs" warm in cold weather. But, on the "glorious 4tb," the thermometer was up lo 98, more or less, in the shade, and the Doctor ap peared as natural as the next man. The Doctor is about SO years of age; his weight is of no account. ClIAHLES Cook, (Danrille Drmnernt,) is just what every editor should be intel ligent, sociable and modest. He is about 40 years of age, stands six feet less six inches, and is a very agreeable and good looking man. Dr. 1). U. B.

KWrrf, That in the revelations of Cod's Providence of late, we see encouragement lo further labor and prayer for the extinction of slaver? in our land, anda sinking testimony lo lhe usefulness of labor and prayer in this cause heretofore. A curious wager is under way at New Orleans. Col. Williams is to eat a thou sand eggs in a thousand hours, on a bet of $1,000. Ho has yolked himself to a difficult tak. If it is underdone be will have to shell out. He will have a hard job even if the eggs should be soft boiled. It will take fourteen days sixteen hours to accomplish the feat. He has made a big lay on those cgjs and should hatch success. ' Why a MlnUter Left hla Church. aavTAL, caataacs, as. cwwabbii ct- bawBS in Late. The Rev. Samuel Sawyer, a graduate of tbe N. T. Union Theological Seminary, and for the past nine years pastor of tbe Second Presbyterian Church, Rogersville, Kast Tennessee, was recently driven from his Church in consequence of bis course in regard to the beating of a slave named Anthony by his master, one Colonel Ne therland, an elder io his church. Mr.Saw ycr has published nothing in regard to the affair until driven to it by slanderous re pot ts, prejudicial to bis character as a min ister, have been circulated and forced him to his own defence. He therefore pub lishes a long statement io a supplement to the Knoxville (Tenn.) Pretlyterian Viit iteavt, tbe truth of wbicb is vouched for by Messrs. Jos. Hoffinastcr and J. M. John son, elders of the Rogersville church. Tbo Colonel Netherland, whose brutality is so disgustingly shown, has been elected a delegate to tbe secession convention called by the pro slavery ministers of the New School Presbyterian Church, to meet at Richmond op the 27th inst. It appears that a slave, formerly belong ing to tbe children of Dr. Ross, was owned by Col. Netherland, and was sold in 1856, to be sent to Mississippi. Rather than go "down South," the negro ran off to the woods, and remained concealed for more than a year, until found and brought back by some hooters. He was then band ed over by Col. N., with bis chains on, to the trader who bought him, who took bim I back of the church, in a field, and there, in the presence of a crowd of spectators, beat bim with over three hundred and thirty llowt, laid on with a leather s'rap, nailed to a board, while the slave was tied down on his back, naked and blind-folded. The trader whipped him to make him con fess who bad harbored bim, and probably would have "beaten bim till Saturday night," if such an excitement bad not been caused by the first instalment of scourging. But this was not the worst Col. Neth erland owned an old gray haired slave who bad nursed him in infancy, and suspecting that he knew more about the runaway and who had harbored him than be chose to tell, he banded bim over to tbe same ne gro trader, to be taken to a neighboring County afcwww fci iln atA eliaawaal.ai, make him confess. The trader took the old man to a place called Bean's Station, in the next eounty, (Grainger,) and there, on Sunday morn ing, in a stable on the public highway, stripped and tied bim naked on a plank, strapped his feet to a post and tied bis head forward to a brace, and then whipped him by striking with a carpenter's hand sawMississippi way, which raises large blisters and bursts them, cutting the bide in pieces. lie whipped him that Sunday till all the neighbor doted their door whipped hint tilt the neighbor put down their window and doted the curtain whipped him till the women, driven wild by hearing the blow and the neyro agon izing eriet for mercy, cried out against it till one man declared if he did not stop he would return bim to court till the land' lord of tbe tavern, after hearing in silence the infliction of at least three hundred blow with the taw, went to him and told bim that he must put an end to it that he himself was liable to indictment for suf fering such tbiogs on his premises, and that he was unwilling to bear it any longer. Tbe trader became very angry at tbis in terference, and told the landlord that he had sent a boy to get him a bundle of whips to scourge the negro's back when the flesh should be too much cut op by the saw and, finally, finding he could not go on, he tumbled the negro in to his wa- eon, in disgnst at the Bean Station people, and went to Ilutledge. The slave had two fits in consequence of the beating, but notwithstanding, the trader tied him np again in Rutledge jail, while the jailor (who would hardly have allowed it) was away, aud beat bim with three sticks from a loom over the raw flesh until he was tired, and then told him be would try it again the next diy. Tbe Iospectors,bow- ever, refused to let the jail be used for such purposes, and the negro was sent borne io a week no information having been ob tained from him. Thereupon a great excitement arose at Rogersville,and tbe Church Session mildly requested Col. Netherland to come forward and show be was not responsible for the outrage. He refused to do this ; declared he had a right to beat bis negroes as much as be chose, or have it done ; that churches had nothing to do with politics, and finally wound up by declaring Mr. Sawyer an abolitionist, and that bo must leave. Mr. Sawyer, thinking that tbe church would be divided if he stayed, and bis friends being too much afraid of being called "ab olitionists" if they stood np for bim, re signed tbe charge of his church with its most righteous elder, and eatno away. Nothing baa been done with Netherland or the trader, and they are supported by tbe pro-slavery strength of tbe neighbor. hood, who stand together on all questions of this kind, and who declare that if a slave owner whips his chattel till he die "be Is bis uo.ney," and there the matter ends. AUGUST 28, 1857. How t Attala) Old Age. At the meeting of the Alnmni of Yale College, Rev. Daniel Waldo, now m'ne-ty-fioe years of age, delivered tbe first speech. He gave some interesting remin iscences, and said that when he was a Freshman he bad to ran on menial servi ces for every Sophomore who chose to call upon him. Gambling and playing cards was a common occupation of the students at that time, particularly in his class. Said Mr. Waldo, "I have seen nearly a century. Do you want to know bow to grow old slowly and happily ? Al ways eat well masticate well. Go to food, rest, and occupations, smiling. Keep a good nature, and a soft temper, every where. Never give way to anger. A vi olent tempest of passion tears down the constitution more than a typhus fever. Cultivate good memory, and to !o this yon most always be communicative; re peat what yon have read ; talk about it. Dr. Johnson's great memory was owing to his communicativeness. You, young men, who are just leaving college, let me advise you to choose a profession in which yon can exercise your talents tbe best, and at the same time be honett. The best pro fession is tbe Ministry of tbe Gospel. If you have not talents enough to be a min ister, be a lawyer, but bo an honest law yer. Pope's line should be altered to read, "An honeat lawyer la the noblest work of God." More Democracy. The proclamation that Slavery is not to be confined to tbe colored race, is not inculcated exclusively by the Democratic papers of the Sontb. Hear what the New York Day Book, a staunch Democratic sheet, says. Here are the exact words of tbat paper in speaking of tbe poor wbite people. "Sell tbe parents of these chil dren into Slavery. Let our Legislature pass a law that whoever will take these parents and take care of them and their offspring, in sickness and health clothe them, feed them and bouse them, shall be legally entitled lo their tnoice and let the same Legislature decree tbat whoever receives these parents and their children, and obtains their services, shall take care of them as long as they live." This is what the Democratic party pro pose to do with the poor American, Irish ana uermam ana ineirrnuaren. Tbe Richmond !raiRtRer,auother model Democratic paper, now merged with tbe Enquirer, which is the leading Democrat ic paper of the country, said : " Tj ntil lately, the defence of Slavery has labored under great difficulties, because its apolo gists took half-way ground. They confin ed tbe defence of Slavery to 'mere negro Slavery ; thereby giving np tbe Slavery principle, admitting other forms of Slavery to be wrong. The line of defence, howev er, is now changed. The Sonth now main tains that Slavery is right, natural and necessary, and doe not depend upon differ ence of complexion. Tbe laws of the Slave States justify the holding of Whim MEM io bondage." Lewis and Veech. In complimenting our candidates for the Supreme Bench, the Berk County Pres justly uses the following language : "Mr. Lewis is a sound lawyer, an hon est, sober, and sincere man ; a man who has no deceptions about him, and who en joys truly the respect and esteem of all his neighbors and townsmen. Tbe people of Chester county will roll up an overwhelm' ing majority for their cherished son, for all party lines disappear at the mention of bis name, and all good citizens unite in his support. "The same may be said of Mr. Veech, He is the ablest lawyer in Western Penn sylvania. He too, is a man who will dig nify and honor the post to wbicb the peo ple seek to elevate him. The Convention which nominated him sought a man learn ed in the law not a mere politician, and they have found the objects of their do sire in the candidates presented. They will be elected, regardless of party chi canery. In a matter of such vital im portance to the people, as the choice of Judgcs.it is the duty of every voter to ex amine into the character and qualifications of the candidates; and where real merit and genuine capacity, honor, high minded integrity and manly virtue are found, for such it is our duty to vote. Our cindi dates can pass unharmed through the or deal of such an investigation. Capt. Joshua A. Patten, whose misfor tunes and sufferings, in connection with the ship Neptune' Car, have been the theme of much publie comment, died at the M'Lean Asylum, New York, on Sun day, aged 30 years. Deaf, and blind and sick, as he had been for months past, his heroic wife refused, nevertheless, to sur render him to the care of strangers ; and it was not nntil Friday, when it was appa rent tbat bis reason wu gone and he was utterly unmanageable, that she consented to his removal to the Asylum. Mrs. Pat ten herself is slowing recovering from tbe effects of fever. , "Little boy, can I go tbroogh this gate to the river ?" politely inquired a fashion able dressed lady. "P'raps so, a load of hay went through this morning," was the Lorrid reply. ' ESTABLISHED At $1,50 Per Jadge Wllniot'a Appolatmeatit. By appointment of tbe State Commit tee, Hon.

The following letter from a former well known citixeu of Lancaster county to tbe editors of the Express, confirms the re ports that are daily reaching us from oth er sources : Lawrence, K. T., Aug 12. Three months ago, Kanjas was at per fect peace now, she is on tbe very verge of civil war. Three months measures the reign of Robert J. Walker. Tbe old charges of last summer are resurrected. The slumbering fires of that fearful con test are about to be lighted up. Villains of the deepest dye, like vultures scenting from afar, are returning to Kansas. Tbe notorious "Border Ruffian," Col. Titus, is now here stirring up excitement prepara tory io anoioer invasion. J udge Cato has given an opinion that the payment of tbe Territorial Taxes is a necessary pre-rcquisite of voting at the October election ; if tbis is to be, nearly one-half of the Free State men will be disfranchised, as the legal voters will only be those tbat have been hers six months previous to tbe election. It seems tbat the peaceful policy that Gov. Geary inaugurated, is to be abandon ed and we are to be carried back to the dreary horrors that characterised the in famous reign of Shannon.

On a steamboat on Cayuga Like, be went to the breakfast table with tbe other passengers. Just as he took Li seat, a dark colored wbite man called a waiter, and asked if colored persons were admitted to the table with white folks. The waiter did not know exactly what to say, so he called the captain, who on en tering the cabin inrpired who bad called for Li in. "I, sir," said Mr. Brown, point ing to the dark stranger; 'I desire to know if it is your custom to allow colored people at the regular table ?" The enp tnin replied that no oljectinn bad ever been made btfore, and seeiug tbe dark wbite man evidently annoyed in spirit, ap pealed to the generosity of the colored ora tor, to allow bim to remain. Mr. Brown finally consented, and at this turn of af fairs tbe white man, wbo was so black as to be passed for a negro, left tbe table, in utter disgust, and unable to speak his thoughts.

Potatoes, Sugar, Orchard products, From tbe above table it will be seen that if "cotton is king" it has not honest ly come by this pre-eminence. The crop of Indian corn in 1955 was more than twice and a half the value of that of cot ton, which only ranks as fifth among agri cultural products. Last year and this, too, tbe products have been immensely increased, and the differenco ia much greater. Richmond, Virginia, was all agog with wonder and excitement, one dark evening last week, at beholding two mysterious globes of light, of a faint 7ellow color, in the eastern heavens. The people turned out en masse i everybody was gaxin with gaping wonder ; mysterious conjectures and theories as to the probable character of the strange visitors were indulged in, but with little satisfaction. A man with a night glass quickly discovered tbat they were lanterns swung at the end of kita tails in mid-air. The crowds went to bed. Col. Fremont. Col. Fremont sailed for California in the Illinois last Wednes day. He goes ont to look after his busi ness in that State. Tbe recent decision in relation to tbe right of the Merced Mioing Company to continue their operations on the Mariposa Tract, renders it very doubt ful whether CoL Fremont is ever to 'real ize much from his California possessions.

Even tbe Ger man lager-beer dealers have to succumb. One ft How nut over his shop "No ad- i - mittanre on Holy Sabbath, except on Private Matters," and in German "Hin fere Thuer Oifen for Meine Boarders." So much for the new Police !

A late arrival from Rio brings news cf an advance in coffee, and a great reduc tion of stoek on hand. The flour market wis also looking up.
