FRIENDS :— "Last week's issue of the, American closed the Seventh Volume of the New Series, and also closed my con nection with the paper. The establish ment has parsed into the hands of Thos. Robinson, Ksq.,of the Citizen, with which it has been consolidated, and the joint concern will hcroaftcr be under his exclu sive control. This, doubtless, will prove mutually advantageous to Mr. Robinson, to myself, to the patrons of the two pa pers. ami to the interest of the Union Re publican party of Butler county. I make this announcement with min gled feelings of gladness and regret:— Glad that I am relieved of the cares, re sponsibilities, anxieties, nay, even grieft, of editorial life ; and, on the other hand, rogrctful at seperating from friends with whom T have held wfVcly communion for so many years. The subscription list of the American has been transferred to Mr. Robinson, with whom T have made an arrangement to furnish the Citizen to fill the unexpired term for which advance payments have been made for the American. Tendering my grateful thauks to the many friends who have stood by me thro' evil and good report, I take my leavo of the editorial chair. . WM. IIASLKTT. By the above it will be seen that MLT. IIAST.ETT retires from Che editorial chair of the Butler American, and that that paper has been consolidated with the Citizen. Of MR. HABI.KTT,OS a publisher and editor, we need say little. For a period of twenty one years ho has been a constant as he has been an efficient and devoted advocate of the principles of the Whig and Republi can parties respectively. Of his faithful ness and ability as an editor, the readers of the Amtrican need not be advised.— Wherever his lot may be cast in the fu ture we trust that success may attend him. Ilis many and successful efforts in behalf of the right, will long be ap preciated by the friends of truth. Of those who have been sccustoyied to read his views, so aptly expressed and so ably sustained, we would ask indulgence while we, from our more obscure stand point, and with loss experience, attempt to sup ply his place. As we havo former y intimated, our business has not been a suceessful one in a financial point nf vitie. Believing that the exktanee of our paper was necessary, we determined to issue it during the con tinuance of the war whether it was "self sustaining" or not. Wo sent our paper out in liberal numbers to our Butler couuty friends in the army, and were pleased to know that, even a small por tion or them, reached their destination. As the war went on, paper, labor and every thing connected with the public action of a newspaper, went up to famine prices, almost. Believing that this state of things could not last after the termi nation of the war, we nyccted the advice of friends, wbo urged uf to. raise the price of our paper. We believe out readers generally, are desirous that we continue to puhl : H h c good readable paper, eueh as we have been publishing. We also be lieve that they dou't wish us to publish such a paper for nothing; but on the contrary, that they ore desirous that we carry ou our business in such a way as to make it profitable to ourself as well as interesting and beneficial to our readers. We are now giving the financial depart ment of the paper a careful examination, wlieu that is concluded we will communi cate the result to our readers, and .-adopt such changes only as will be necessary to carry on the business successfully. We believe our friends will all say this is right. We have always labored to niaka the Citizen a welcome visitor. By keeping its readers posted on all subjects of either gen eral or local importance, by throwing its columns open to the discussion of all sub jects of interest to its readers. Wo iutcud in the future, to give even more attention to making its columns both interesting aud instructive, and in return we would solicit the activo friendship of all who believe in the existence of a free press.— We have now the largest circulation ever attained by any gaper in the couuty —our list might still be increased, and the use fulness of the Citizen thus promoted.— Will our friends lend us the weight of their influence in its behalf? THOS. ROBINSON. I JEWrK. J). DtWolf. i wj.. whose death is J I itinoimeed in our paper tlifs week, was ! not attached to us by the usual ties of re lationship only, but by those stronger tics of ■tcnrni personal friendship. In an ac quaintance of over thirteen years, our ap preciation of the genuineness of his char acter r.s & citizen, a friend , and a christian, has beeu strengthened by every fresh op portunity we had of observing it. With out ambition himself, he had no jealousy toward others. Iu the prime of life and usefulness, ho has been taken from us. — He died after an illness of eleven days. We just reached his bedside in time to take him by the hand and bid him a "last farewell.' As he lived he died—in peace and charity with all men. When strick en friends were grieving,he ouly said, "It is all for the best, let :nc go iu peace."- A« his latter end approached, we are in formed, his prospects of a glorious immor i tality brightened—his only regret being that he had not, in early life, lived in clo ser communion with his God. Local Ifamnt}' I.n*». As the war progressed, and from time to time fresh calls were made for men to fill up the army, fresh legislation was from time to time asked, and not unfrequent ly had. Our own belief was that there was too much legislation. Still wo know full well that it was difficult for Legisla tors to refuse such legislation. The ma jority of a district, under the lead of a few individuals perhaps, wonld petition for certain legislation ! it would accord ingly be given. Iu a few short weeks the representatives of a different sentiment would rally, and they too, would get tha majority to ask the repeal of the very law for which, but a few weeks before, they had asked 1 And the law was according ly repealed. Thus things went on. The result was, great uncertrintly prevailed. Since the adjournment of the last Legis lature, there has been much speculation by the people as to what they had better do next! Legislation, it is said, will be asked for, for the reliof of this or that in terest. For the purpose, therefore, of letting all see what the present law is, we have gone to the trouble of re-publish ing all the laws passed on the subject, for our county. By a careful reading and study of the original law and its supple ments, as here published, the readers of the Citizen vill be enabled to see how the matter stands, aid what further enact ments, if any, are needed. Iu the fu tuie, as iu the past, we advise conciliation ami, if possible, unity of action on the part ol the people of the different dis tricts. Legislate™ will be slow to act on this vexed question, unless the Community, asking relief, can be substantially agreed among themselves. We don't make those suggestions for the purpose of serving any particular locality or interest. Wo have mo special views of our own to urge, nor do wo intend to take any part in this matter, further than to advise that nil those who went into the service, upon promises of bounty, be treated fairly.— To nil, wo would say, save this paper, so that you can refer to these laws, as we do not intend to publish them again. l>r. A. W . Crawford. During the continuance of the gigantic struggle from which we have just emer ged, we sometimes almost forget some of our formei friends whose duty lias placod them a groat distance from us. Such in deed was the case with Dr. Crawford. Four years ago last March ho took his lcavo of friends aud home to dis charge the responsible duties of Consul of his Government at Antwerp, in Belgi um—one of the first commercial cities of Germany. And there the Doctor remain ed during our long struggle. Great must have been his anxiety as the news of the varied campaigns of the war reached him. There can be no better evidence of his faithfulness as an officer, tlian the gratify ing fact that he is continued by tho pres ent Administration. Wishing to aee his friends at home once more, he procured leave of absence for a few months, ami is now, once more among ns. We were somewhat surprised, and much pleased, on meeting him a few days since, and taking him once more by the hand. is pres ence brought vividly to our mind tho sit uation of the country on his departure; and of the various and somewhat conflict ing opinions of even tho true friends of the country, as to what policy was most likely to bo adopted, in the pending cri sis, and which was the most likely to be successful. Some believing that the re pealing of a few obsolete statutes would suffice, while others as honestly believed ■that the whole matter would have to be submitted to the arbitrament of Jthc sword. We would Jike to have talked those mat ters all over with our old friend ; but time would not permit. The whole matter has uow been solved and the result is be fore us. We were glad to learn that the Doctor has enjoyed good health during his entire abseuce; but were sorry to miss tho i presence of his estimable lady, who ac | companied him abroad. Slto has .{(one '■ the way of all the earth." Iler health ; was not good when she left home; and it i was hoped that u visit to the cast would i improve it. liut there seems to have been no relief for her. Her remains w. re sent home, and interred in the Allegheny Ceui etry. The Doctor will bouu leave again to resume his official duties ; but unlike 1 the sad forebodings that ho must have i experienced four yearn and a half ago, 1 ha now returns with the proud satisfac-! i tion of kimwing that .his country is reas sured before the world as ono of the first < powers of the earth, -rmd as the great ar biter of American politics. Tivc Fair. The fair is now over, and although it was not all wo could wish, still wo hnvo nothing to regret in urging its importance upon our people. Such institutions are found in every enlightened and progres sive country. "Why it is that more inter est is not taken in perfecting the thorough organization of this truly worthy institu tion in our county, we are unable to say. The attendance was unusually large, but every body cauie to see rather than to as sist in the exhibitions which should be the chief object of all. The fair, how ever, was not without interest, aud we trust benefit to the community. A deci ded improvement was manifest in some classes of stock—"horses in particular;— Tt must be remembered, too, that the sea son was sot favorable for an exhibition. The great amount of rain that hail fallen preventing the farmers from finishing up their work, made many feci unable to take the time necessary for the prepara tion of their various commodities. The weather too, bid fair to be unpleasant, thongh it was finally pleasant. Complaints, too, were heard, that the premiums wore too on some things, and too low on others, that the regulations were not perfect fee., all this may have been true, but for all this there is a reme dy. Let us learn by experience. Let us endeavor to iiuprove every year; lot those Who think that the premium list could be improved favor the society with their presence and their counsel—they will bo made welcome, and their sugges tions shall be carefully considered, and their voico heard. Let those, if any there he, who complain that the exhibi tion was notwhat it should be, goto work and assiyt in making it better next year. In fine, let all live and learn. Improving on the errors cf the past, let us goon iu the good work so well "begun aud great results yet await us. In many parts of the state the free school,ssystemveryunox ecptable to tho people, yet its friends stuck to it until it lias been recognized I>y all to be no efthe indispensibles of a free progressive people. Lot the friends ol progress not despair, but press on and grand results arc before them. Xlic Commercial. Over two years ago, tho Pittsburgh Gatctle , the oldest and most reliable pa per in the interest of tho Union cause in Pennsylvania, took it into its head to de feat the re-nomination of (Jov. Curtin in a series of ably written,.but ill timed papers. The .pcoplo in tho mean time went quietly on and nominated and elec ted him. About that time the Com mercial came into life, and proating by the error of tho Gazette, became at once a leading journal. It soon took tho place of the Gazelle in our locality, mainly after tho cause already stated. During the progress of the present campaign, however, it has seen proper to pcrsuo a course neitlter wise nor censistant. Had it given a little more attention to Copper heads and a littlo less to "negro suffrage" and Thad. Stevens, it might have been much bet'er for itself. No journalist— not even Horace Groely, can run success fully against public opinion. And our neighbor the Commercial should remem ber that"llcvolution never go backward." If the Commercial wishes to retain a hold upon tho tonfidenco of the people, it must never again attempt to check their ad vancing sentiments COM .111\ HATIO.VN. For tho CifizeQ. A Serenade. Mn. EDITOR : —As politics are now played out for the season. I have no doubt your readers will like to hear a local item even if the subject should be a serenade. A small affair of this kind came off last evening iu the quiet and orderly Tp of l'enn. A widow lady whose husbrfnd had died a few years since, loading an estate worth about 810.000 with six small childrch and the aforesaid widow, commenced some six months ago to have ' the proporty divided under a proceeding in O. C. (four of the children having died iu the mean time.) Her neighbors thought she was foolish for disturbing mattors. Recently, however, it was re ported that she contemplated matrimony, t and yesterday madam rumor suid that she and her intended had ginc up to the county seat to have tho " knot tied."— In the evening she was seen coming , home on foot and without the groom, manifesting some bad feeling too, at madam rumor, for having concerned her self BO much in other peoples business. About an hour afterward, however the oh I gentleman was seeeu approaching her residence by "gradual advancos," (as McClellan approached York Townw) — This cowardly way of doing things exci ted the indignation of an outraged com mu iit i/, the younger portion of which determined to take revenge by a " dem onstration iu force," in tho shapo of a serenade. .The attack was mane about half past eight but up till-half past uinc no response was receive J from tlio be sieged.. A retreat was finally ordered, but before the party had ' withdrawn re inforcements were beard in the distance, whereupon order to retreat was re called at which time TTO left. The hnp py couple, it was beKercd. -had retired for the night, and it was thought doubt whet her a resposo froui them could bo elicited. OBSERVER. We are decidedly opposed to anything in tlie shape of a serenade.—En. A'CAKI*. Having retired from the printing busi ness, it has become indispensably and ab silutely necessary for «ie to close up the business of the late American. It will b® of mutual advantage, to me and to those indebted, if they will pay at an early day. without having any trouble or any bad feeling. I need not say that the large amount due to mo, is needed—our friends know that it is. foetus hope that this appeal will be Met by an honorable and prompt response. DAVID 11. MACKKY is our authorised traveling agent, and his receipts for mon ey paid will bo good. lie is now, iu con nection with other business, engaged iu traveling the county, and we hope our friends will respond promptly when ho presents a bill.

After tlmt date, Tiro Dollars a year will be charged inva riably, without respect to pcrsom. WM. IIASIJKTT. BroiLED lIOI>ES AND PI.A.NS. —The successful termination of our civil war has spoiled a number of great projects. The slaveholders' scheme for a separate and rival government Jms been •effectually frustrated. Tlie hope of European mon archists and all the schemes connected with it. looking towards the failure of re publican government and the ignominious overthrow of its great American represen tive, havo been sadly disappointed. Mug. lisli manufactures and English commerce still sec their rivals iu the field, peaceful ly pursuing their onward way with ener gy undiminished ntid with hopes mliin-, ined. The French interest in the i wue• of the war was more political than pecu niary, as the prestige of power outshines that of unoney iu the Kmperor's eyes. The erection of an empire 011 the ruins of one feeble republic wo ild offer facilities, as well as inducements, for the extension of the effort to another feeblo republic on 1110 borders of the first. The indebted, exhausted and exasperated confederacy, ruled by an aristocracy that was practic ed in the processes of treachery, would be as easy a prey as Mexico. But this sec tion of the game is blocked by the issue of the war and the maintenance of the Union. Whether the first part.shall prove a finality and a success remains to be seen. If the Monroe doctrine shall always re main nuiong attractions, dissevered from all praetial application, the thing may work well for monarchy. But it may turn out otherwise. —The steamship Daniel Webster, from Ncw-<>rlcans 011 the 22d ult.. for New- York, put iu here short of coal.

He told tlieai that the country for which they had so nobly fought, was as much their country as any body else's, and they should soon return as citizens to the walks of civil life, lie endeavored to impress upon their minds what appeared to him the duties in which they should engage, and the rules of conduct which should regiiluto their life. Many, lie said, talked about equali ty bofore the.law, and all that, but where vor one man k more meritorious than anothor, what becomes of this equality ? The man most meritorious is the superior. 1 He theu endeavored to inculcate in them the paramount duty of flcvdloping and improving their talents, and all Che moral qualities, assuring them that just public judgment would mete to all a reward for merit, without reference to color. This he did ngain and again, in the courso of his speech. This is a Government, lie said founded not only upon freedom, but equality, with out reference to color; but liberty did not mean freedom to idleness, to worthless ness, or to loafing, but freedom to work, or to enjoy the profit of the products of our own labor. 110 shrewdly and some what skilfully avoided all direct refowiice to the g!cat question of universal suffrage now agitating the nation, but told tl*>ui the country was under the operation Sf a great and exciting experiment, to determ ine whether the whites and blacks, with the respective prejudices of the two races, could be incorporated or aswimi'ated in one harmonious unit or common body politic, or that it would bo necessary for the two to separate, lie hoped that tlio sop ration would not bo necessary, but told them that it wus with themselves to determine the problem. They must, by their own conduct, upon returning to the pursuits of peace, by abandoning all hub] its of idleness and immorality, by a steady appliimsion to labor, and by development I ot intellectual and moral qualities prove themselves as meritorious citizens as sol diers ; as capable of self-government and worthy of hoingentrustod with the high er duties of citizenship. Ho concluded by again thanking, them for the compliment of tho visit say ng that ho hail talked plainly,hut not with the object art any sense of wounding the most delicate sensitive ness, bnt with the purpose of inciting and encouraging them to a course of conduct that would elevate them in the judgment of the world. ihiring the delivery of the speech there was uo enthusiasm manifested by the soldiers, or by their colored friends, all tho applause elicited emanating from tho whites who were present. Ono incident attracted our attention. When the President remarked .hat liber ty consisted in freedom to work and toenjoy the profits of one's labor, n Sergeant among the colored soldiers immediately in his front exclaimed, " Thank (iod, it it means that much." —At the Kalamazoo horse fair last week the trial of mntchod teams resulted in favor of Mr.Clark, of Chicago, his team winning two straight two mile heats in 7:13 and 7:0!).

The house was filled with men, women, and children, who were aroused about wo o'clock in the morning by a suffocating smoke,which pervaded every chamber in the immense building. When the terrible truth burst upon every ono that the building was on fire, the confusion consequent thereupon is indescribable. Men and women, in dithabille, were running to and fro in a state of frenzy, while the screams of the females were heartrending.
