The large steam mill of Cobline St Allen, at
Town, was destroyed by fire, on lest
Friday night, a week. The fire is suppOsed
to have originated from the boiler. On the

A correspondent of the Lancaster Intelli
geneer, writing from Harrisburg of the debates
in the Legislature last week, says : "The
evening session was opened by a speech from
Lowry. The wonder is how this man ever
got into any public, position. He knows
very little, antrhis manner of telling what
little he doeii know is the driest that can be
conceived. He can't even rant well, an ac
complishment so common among Abolition
orators. The pith of his speech is contained
in hie bold declaration that a negro is fit to
walk with a white man any distance, and
when he has a vote he will ride or walk with
any man—even through the bogs of Ireland,'
an insulting fling at our Irish fellow oitixene."
A Convention of Sabbath School teachers
and friends of the cause convened in Park

its sessions until Wednesday evening. The

The law providing for the extra Judgeship
in our district, held by David Derrickson, and
passed in 1856, we' limited to ten years, mad
the time will expire soon. We notice that Mr.
Lowry has introduced a bill into the Senate,
which has passed that body, providing for re
taining the extra Judge, although the necessity
for the office has gone by. Any one who is ac
quainted with the manner in which our courts
have been conducted for some years past,
knows that one Judge is sufficient to transact
the business, and a decided pretest should go
up from the people against continuing the
expense of an extra officer any longer. We
learn that there is some doubt of the passage
of the bill in the House, as a movemest is
being made for the establishment of a new
judicial district, to be comprised of Crawford
and Venan4o, leaving Erie and Warren to
constitute the present one If the law is
adopted, Judge Derrickson will probably be
nominated by the Republiosasfer meleetlon.

We are informed that, Mr. Lary actually
designs to be a candidate'for Congress east
fall, relying confidently on receiving the sup
port of Erie county. , It iii not known Whether
Mr. Scofield has concluded to be a candidate
for re.election. He is said to have boasted
that he could retain his seat es long u Fe
likes, and as he igoesessee considerable influ
ence in the smaller counties, each of which
has as large a vote in the nominating convent
tion as Erie, it may be flat his bout is true.
Time will disclose whether the Republicans of
this county are willing to be carried about in
Mr. Scofield's breeches' pocket any longer or
not. The interests of our city demand that
we should have a representative who knows
something of our local requirements, and will
labor to secure them ; and Mr. Scofield has
thee far proved himself to hue much greater
devotion to the negro than to the wants of his
constituents.
The revival movement in the let Presiyte
rion and Baptist churches continu le with in
creasing interest and almost unequalled
sue ese. Bev. E. P. Hammond, the celebrated
revival preacher, has been in attendance
during the week, and delivered several ad—
dresses daily to crowded audiences. Services
are held in one or the other of the two °burettes
morning, afternoon and eveeing, and it is as
tonishing to see the influence which Mr.
Hammond'e preaching eraicisen over the
audiences. Owing to a previous engagement
in Elmira, this gentleman, much to the regret
of many, will not be able to remain in Erie
longer thin the close of the week. It is hoped
by his friends that he may be induced to re
turn in the course of a few weeks.
Col. John J. Lawrence, late Superintendent
of the Middle Division of the Philadelphia &

intendent of the Erie & Pittsburgh Road
He has already formed an extensive acquaint.
ance with our citizens,' and created a more
than usually favorable opinion. Thp people
of ReIMOTS, where he resided while connected
with the former road, presented him with a
substantial mark of their esteem, on Saturday
last, in the shape of a handsome office desk
and service of plate, costing over $7OO. The
proceedings, we are: informed by persons who
were present, were of an extremely pleasant
nature.
Chu. M. Lynch, late Lieutenant Colonel of

Instivrisa —We find the following in Tues•
day night's telegrams :
"Scofield, of Pennsylvania, made a few
remarks concerning the harbor Qt Erie.—
The House then altournee.,'
; Thus it is that talent and eloquence are
appreciated in Congress. The peer of Pitt
and Wilberforce—the superior of Clay and
Webster—the august orator and unequalled
statesman. Scofield by name, rises to make a
speech, and the House, as If exhausted and
disgusted by the effort, adjourns immediately
after, without even so much as adopting any
action on the subject upon which he addressed
them! Oh, ehatne, where is thy blush ? We
have fallen upon degenerate times, indeed,
when eloquence and virtue meets with such a
reward as this ! In the same night's dispatches
appears the following:
"One evening last week Bye or six mem
bers came together and immediately -ad
journed, and to-night a representative had
the slim auditory entirety to himself for a
few momentrAwhile'he 'poke of the harbor of
Erie. Nobody else cared to continue the
gloomy proceedings by letting off hie care
fully prepared ear or speech to empty
tenches."
A "slim audience" to hear suck a repre
sentative (so-called) as we have—is it possi
ble ? Why, we have been led to believe that
the bare announeementikat he was to speak
would call out admiring thousands! There
must be a mistake, purely. Some mean spin.
ited reporter, jealous of our Congressman's
rising fame, has sent out this falsifying dig.
patch, to bring a stigma on his fair reputa
tion.
PASBIOII OP A BILL TO MAUI NIGRO=

week. in the Senate of the United States,
the amendment declaring all persons born
in the United States. not subject to for
eign Powers. except Indians not taxed, to'
be citizens of the United States, without
any distinction on account . of color, was
adopted by a vote of 31 to 10—all'the Re
publicans, except Mr. Cowan, voting for
it, and all the Democrats voting against it.
Thus, one after another, the barriers of
distinction which have existed between
negroes and white men are 'being broken
down. Rent upon forcing upon the coun

e It is high time the masses should rise up

" Senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania, elected
as by the Republicans, made a very sensible
• n speech in opposition to Senator Trumbtill's
.e bill to guarantee to all persons the same
of political and civil rights. The people of
certain States,he said,were'not represented
•here, and this bill_ related almost • exclu
sively to those States. All republican
governments were based °nth° consent of
the governed, and it was • but right and
just that we should wait until those who
were to be so much affected were represen
ted in Congress. The people of' the South,
be declared, had done all 'that tbe most
hopeful and sanguine could expect. The
bill confounded the people of the South
with the rebels and traitors. He was tired
of hearing so much talk about treason and
traitors. Mr. Cowan said he had great
doubts ss to whether any large number of
people in the South had collectively corn.:
matted treason. He expected to have
them brought back to reverence and love
the old flag ; but this legislation was not
the way to do it.
