Jcffcvsoninit Kcpubliran. Tliiirdny, December 4, 1S5E. TJieCitrist mas Brother JosintlKtia The appearance of this elegant holiday Pictorial will astonish every body this year. Tt is really and truly the most spirited and beautiful sheet of pictures ever issued in America. The grand feature of the paper is the wonderful Christmas Journey of that jolly friend of good boys and girls known as Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas. This fine large picture occupies two entire pages of the pa- per. The latest report is that over 80,000 copies of the Jonathan were sold during No vember. Well, it would not surprise us if twice that number were circulated before Christmas, at 12 cents per copy for it is by far the best thing of the kind ever issued. B. II. . Day (successor of Wilson & Co.) is the publisher. Subscribers to the weekly Brother Jonathan (one dollar a year) receive tins beautiful pictorial free. j Address B. H. Day; 4S Beekman st. N. Y. !

Many are coming forward for recharter, and the recent stoppage of one in the neighborhood ofthe seat of Government, in Lancaster, will not tend to limit the sever ity of the scrutiny. The Reading Railroad will most certainly become the object of scrutiny, and its course of conduct can ill bear the light of investiga tion. It has most lamentably failed in its ob ligations to the public, and is of consequence sinking rapidly from the estimation in which it was once held. The remarks on Bishop Hughes, in The . , Tribune of Friday, meet with a warm and ready response in this meridian, where the people are strongly wedded to the Common , School system. j ; Distnrlmi;: a Cbarcli. i iuyWcUjUuMg.UB1, aim JSf wl-iC arraigned before Judge Heister,!n Harrisburg ; last week for congregating around the church, of the United Brethren, using profane and j obscene language, and insulting females and , ,thers obliged to pass that way.

We have received an address delivered by Thomas H. Burrows, Esq., before the Lancas ter county Educational Society, on the 4lh ulL, which, among other matters of interest, exhibits the magnitude of the Common School system ofUbe StatP, which is highly credita ble to the character of the Commonwealth, ! and shows lhe'deep interest taken in the cause of general education. In the seventeen years that the system has been in operation, the people of Pennsylvania have expended over Jijtccn millions of dollars in support of this noble effort, exclusive of the large sums an nually paid to sustain the numerous private academies, seminaries and schools which are also giving their invaluable aid to the cause of general education. The number of schools in the State has increased from 772 to 9200, and the teachers from 608 to 11,500. The pupils number half a million, and the annual cost ofthe system is nou' 1,400,000. Few States in the Union have done more than Pennsylvania to dispel ignorance and qualify its rising population for the duties of citizens required under ils free Constitution. OCrfn the Union of the 13th ult, says the Washington Republic, we find half a column of the foulest aspersion of the entire Metho dist Church ofthe Northern States. It styles them robbers and theives, and accuses them of defrauding and stripping their brethern of their goods. This numerous and highly re spectable body of Christains are described as "plunderers," and. the " perpetrators of a bru tal outrage." The pretext of this wholesale denunciation is the result of the recent con troversy in the circuit court of the United States for the circuit of New York involving the property of tiie Methodist Book Concern. We are not familiar with the merits of this litigation ; but we submit that this violent in discriminate abuse of "the Northern Metho dists," as a class, is altogether unwarranted and unjustifiable.

The prisoner, who is a young man of about thirty-five yean;, of tall and slim person, displays much, self-possession. The following is a list of the Jurors .to try this cause: Robert Elliott, of Perry ; James Wilson, of Adams; Thomas Connelly, of Gar bon; Peter Martin, of Lancaster; Rob't Smith, of Adams; Win. R.

He related the particulars of his visit to the 'Gap' near Christiana, in company with others, for j the purpose of arresting the slaves. With a guide, they approached Parker's house near daylight, witness a little ahead; within forty yards of the house saw Nelson, one of the slaves, who ran and witness after him ; the latter fell, but got up and ran on, reaching the house after Nelson. Witness called up stairs to the landlord and told who he was, and who he was after. They denied that such persons were there, and thrust a pitch fork down at him. He went out and asked Mr. Gorsuch to talk'lo them from outside. They fired a gun and witness fired a pistol. He read his warrant three times, and remon strated with them. Hanaway then rode up to the bars; witness asked him several ques tions, to which he replied, 'it is none of your business;' he also refused to assist, and advised that the effort to arrest be abandoned, as blood would be spilled said the blacks were armed and had a right to defend themselves. Manv blacks were now in and around the housej armed with guns, scythes, clubs, &c. Fif teen or twenty came up in the same direc tion, and alter Hanaway. Elijah Lewis (white) came in his shirt sleeves. Witness begged these men to prevent the blacks from firing, and he would withdraw his men. -Hanaway said something to one of them. Soon after they cried out "he's only a depu ty," and fired. Again some of them fired over the head of witness. D. Gorsuch being wounded in the arm, witness asked for a doc tor and was told one was at Penningtonville. Lewis and a boy left the ground, and witness did also, to go to Penningtonville ; did not know old Mr. Gorsuch was shot then. Met one of his men, wounded took him to a store and washed his face. When the train came up, put the wounded man in a car. Offered any one five dollars to go back to the place-rr- was advised toslay away; now heard that old Mr. uorsuch was dead, and his hodv was ' I. Witness remained where he was till next morning, and then 'started for Christiana; heard that two ot Ins men were wounded, and in the woods; met a young man,, who told him his friends were : safe. Witness was rigidly cross examined and 1 said I had withdrawn from the ground before ; the firing was commenced that killed Goreuch There was not a soul said to me, at the mill, that I ought to have come away before the firing commenced. I knew more' of the blacks besides Harvey Scott, who were there, 1 don't recollect their names. I did not name them at Lancaster; I described them. Mor gan was there, Henry Sims was there before the firing. George Williams was there. I can't recollect by the name that Nelson Car ter was there. I have seen all the prisoners in jail. All that I pointed out were there. r I don't know whether all were there. I don't recollect Charles Hunter by name. Mr. Stevens, to the Court. It is uecessary that these prisoners, now in jail, may be bro't into Court. We deem this essential. We wish to show that the witness has identified most of these people and that his testimony is entirely false. Mr. Ashmead said he had no objection, as it was only a collateral matter. ? Mr. Stevens. Oh no. this is no collateral matter. It is alledged that war has been levied we want to see the soldiers. The charge is treason let us see the traitors. We will go on with the rest of the cross ex animation and ask the Court to send for the prisoners in the morning. Tin's was agreed to, and ordered by the Court that they be brought in at 10 next morning-. Nov. 29th.-After some conversation among counsel and with the Court, II. H. Kline was called to the stand, and cross-examination continued. fb new facts were elicited ex cept such as tend to show that the prisoner was a mere spectator of a portion of the drama. Dr. Ihos. Pearce, nephew of Edward Gor such, was next called. He testified to the same facts nearly as Kline. He related the proceedings of the fracas, the firing, beating with clubs, &c. saw his uncle struck and shot, and his cousin wounded. Several other witnesses were examined, but nothing new elicited. Court adjourned to Monday morning. Trcainscul of rehesusriiiE&an fcy licuiosfi .Ernce. Dr. Rees, of Gray's Hospital, London, is of opinion that lemon juice is very excellent for chronic rheumatism of the gouty order By using lemon juice along with small doses of the tincture of the scsquichloride of iron, he has several cases, effected cures which had ba filed every attempt made before for that purpose. In one case, a lady who had ! been a cripple for several years, was eventu ally restored, after persevering in the use of the lemon juice for eight weeks. The doses used are from one to two ounces even six. hours. . OtTAn enterprising gardener, near Cincin nati, promises green corn on Christmas. OT A State Convention of the friends of !

The Convention declared that they had ; the fullest conviction that " there is no man ! jn the country in whom the great masses Lf the people have higher confidence." and that in the estimation of the civilized world the name of Washington alone was entitled to stand higher than his. It now remains for other States to follow the example of Massachusetts .and Daniel Webster will be fairly before the people as a candidate for their suffrages.

The Jaw in regard to them allows $3 for ser ving a summons or any other process, by which an action is commenced; for travel, fifty cents per mile ; for a bond, $2 ; for a certified copy of the bond SI : for serving a subpoena for each witness, and for every mile travelled serving it 1. It appears from the returns ofthe late cen sus that Texas contains a slave population of j fifty-eight thousand one hundred and sixty one.

A man named Moore, aged aout 40, and his wife, both of whom had became in toxicated at a house-warming of a friend, are supposed to have quarrelled on their return home, and Moore look up a double-barrel gun, with one barrel of which he siiot his wife, blowing off the right side of her head and then shot himsilf through the heart. Mrs. Moore was found in the yard, her head lying in a pool of blood, and her husband was discover ed lying near a stove in the house, with the gun by his side and his two little girls, 3 and 5 years old, standing over him weeping.

It has been decided, too, that the troops of all German States shall be in readi ness to take thc field earlv in the coming year, and the garrisons 'of the West are to be so disposed, that they may be concentrated and directed towards the frontier at the shor test notice. These measures are said to be only pre cautionary. " There is no reason," observes the Vienna correspondent of the Times, "for supposing that the northern, powers will ac tively interfere in the internal affairs of France; but anything like a propagandist or offensive policy on the part of the French Govern ment would assuredly lead to an armed in tervention." :s(!ia:aa. Fesialu Odd Fellows Daughters of Rebecca. Grand Representative Colfax, of South Bend conferred the new degree of the Daughters of Rebecca on a number of ladies in this place, in the Lodge Room, on Wed nesday last. Mr.Colfax, as llepresantative to the Grand Lodge of the United States, hav ing received a copy, is enabled to confer this degree. This new degree, as we have al ready stated, was prepared and submitted to the Grand Lodge by Mr. Colfax. This de grce is a most beautiful and chaste production, and the apropriate, clear and eloquent style which characterized Mr. Colfax's delivery of the charges, lectures, &c., connected with it added much to its effect. It is truly a noble production, and one which, by making the la dies acquainted with the true nature and de sign of Odd Fellowship and extending to them its advantages by enabling them to recogizo Odd Fellows and make themselves known when needing any assistance, will do much toward dispelling the prejudice which exists with some against the institution.

Instance the late election. All through the region of the North Branch Canal, where the people are u nanimously in favor of the completion of that improvement, their leaders, with Col. Bigler at their head, promised to stand by this measure, and to continue it to completion without delay. How well and faithfully they performed this prom ise, may be learned from the following article from the Bradford Argus of the 1st inst. It needs no further comment : a As we predicted some four weeks since, the work on the North Branch Canal has been abandoned 1 When we aid that Contractors would receive no- tice to quit work immediately after elec tion, wc were met by the opposition with a plump denial, and all kinds ot maledic- tionswere heaped upon our heads for gULUUg Up U,U UJUUHUUUCilUg UUU1 bug.

If its re-commencement de pends upon such contingency as the sus pension of the Sinking Eund Act, we have not the remotest hope of its going on j ior however free the party leaders were, before election, to pledge that that law should be suspended and the funds arising from it applied to the North Branch, there is not the most distant prospect that they will redeem their prom ise in regard to it. Nor do we 'believe that a loan will be effected for any such purpose. While it would do very well to hold out as bait to catch votes, the prospect of getting the money, even if a law fchould be passed, is'to say the least, far froin good. And if by any possibility funds could be borrowed, the Portage Railroad would come in for the Lion's share, leaving the Canal in the same lurch thatit was left by the Legislature last win ter." rise PeunssyEvaBfiia E2isltn jcai Society.
