THAT SPREE.
The Volunieer .proirassels to joittin the gen
oral dedunolation Which the late
.. spree" *has' called forth, but charges that it
was "a• Whir . mevement," Volunteer
says, Mr, Slifor i the.Whik Senator froth Union'
county had' the resolution passed through, the
Hentite', and Mr. Henderson ; Whig member
froniCinnberland county,fmoved - its adoption
, by, the House. Now We have taken the trou
ble to examine the proceedings as furnished
by the official "Legislative Record," and find
no mention of Mr. Henderson's name as mov
ing such a resolution. Wo are authorised by
him to say that he was not the ',lover" of the
resolution. Mr. Henderson didaot (by request
of tho looofoco .Speaker,) as chairman of the
committee of arrangements for the House, but
this pOsition put him no more in tho wrong
than any other ,member who participated in
the proceedings—nor mild it make the thing
" a Wig movement." How could that be a
irhig movement whioh was adopted in a House
containing over twenty loeofoco majority I Are
the Volunteer's renders so stupid as to swallow
Such a story? In its malicious endeavor to
'fasten the odium of this " spree" upon the
Whigsoand especially upon Mr. Henderson,
(who must havd been remarkably influential
if he so led that immense locofooo majority)
the Vo/unieerhas hugely overstepped the mark
and only shown its own disregard for truth.
If the Volunteer thinks so much blame rests
upon Mr. Henderson for merely acting as
chairman of the committee of arrangements,
why-does it not alto denounce Gov. Human,
who presided over the "spree" and so warm
ly expressed his gratification at "the good
time" they were having over the sparkling
champagne and other luxuries which Were to
be paid for out of the State Treasury? The
Whigs had a majority of •one in the Senate,
and that very uncertain. The Locos had 'a
majority of over tthenly in the House, and tho
Governor with them. How then could this
" legislbtive spree" have been a Whig-meas
ure? The tax-payers of the State will know
where to fasten the responsibility.

TRUTH vs. VALSEIIOO.D.
r For the "'lterate." '
Ma. tiIITOB.:—In looking over the last nom.
bar of the Carlisle "Volunteer," my attention
was attracted-by an article over the' signature
'of " One iallo knbzcs ," ocnsurins the Faculty
of "Dickinson' Colleie," and endeavoring, by
rt,seriesdef &leo and,unjuet assertions, to fas
ten-upon:them the , guilt_oneing, to P great
ilegree,"thi3 onus; of the late sickness among
a portion of the students; and also that they
could, by a proper and judicious management,
of the affairs of the institution, have prevent
ed, entirely, the unpleasant circumstances
which, he says, exist there at the
: present time,
and which have compelled many of the stu
dents to go back tb their homes until a more
favorable state of things rode:loft praetliable
and safe for them to return to their studies . .
Now, sir,•it must be very clear to every un
prejudiced mind, that thowriter of that article,
Whoever. he tarty be, could have had no other
object in view, when he perined the absurdities
oontained •in his commanioatien, thrill the
gratification of a malicious feeling which he
undoubtedly' cherishes towards the gentlemen
who administer the affairs of • the institution.
The insinuations ho throws out with regard to
tho manner in which the present efficient
Principal discharges his official duties towards
the College and students placed under his
care, bear upon their face the impress of false
hood, and no man, having the slightest regard
for truth or justice, would attempt to pass
them off upon an intelligent community. • But
to the article in question. Let us take, a
hasty glance at some of its principal pointl,
and see how far •it is deserving of a place
the columns of any journal laying claims to
respectability,.
In the first place holacouses the President
of having failed to discharge his official duties
so as to result in the welfare of the institu
tion, by neglecting to exercise a duo precau
tion in providing for the .health and comfort
.of the students. and in support of which ho
goes on to show That the buildings are in a
dilapidated condition, and the opartinents al
lotted t 6 the students unfit to be occupied by'
any one haying the least regard for cleanli
ness. And be further assorts that, had the
President been less spnrrn in the distribution
of fuel during inclement weather, much, if
not all, the sickness'and suffering among the
students resident in the College_ would have
have been avoided. Now in reply to all this
I beg leave to say that every assertion ho has
made is false and without foundation. The
disease he speaks.of as having been produced
by the filth in and around the buildings, to
gether with the "cold treatment" which the
students received at the hands of the President,
is just the very opposite of what in really
• t ine , and to prove which I would here state,
and I have adthority which cannot belues
tioned,..that tho very first appearance of the
disease was in the oleanest room in the build.
tag; and further, that with hut two excep
tions, the rooms are all in as clean and com
fortable condition as it is possible for them to
be under the circumstances.' I visit the Col
lege and grounds frsquently,myself, have been
in • many of the apdrtments alluded to, and
can, most conscientiously, say that I have not
seen the evils whiclustand out in such glaring
relief before the eyes of ".one who knows."
But why this attack on the Faculty Is it
intended to injure the institution, or to cast
dishonor upon the characters of those who
lave-thcananagemont-of its affairs? If this
bo so ihe effort' will prove a 'failure, and ho
Who was silly enough to attempt tho work can
rest assured that the reputation of Dickinsen
College and its kind, able, and gentienianly
Principal stand higher, in the estimation of
every respectable man, than he can over at
tain, at least so long as Leis actuated by such
motives. Common sense, Übe has arty, should
teach him that, in seeking to injure others, he
has only covered himself with shame, and
proven that the objects on which be sought to
visit his spleen are as far above his petty
malice as it is 'possible fiir ono object to • be .
above another.
In conclusion t would merely suggest that,
had the editor of the Volunteer taken the
trouble to inform himself with regard to the
truth of the assertions contained in that arti-
Ole, I feel quite certain_ he would not have
given it room in his paper. But it is a la
mentable fact that some editors of the present
day are not over scrupulous as to the material
with which they fill their columns ; hence, an
opportunity is afforded to "print" `of which
the most unprincipled often take advantage,
and the consevance is thit he who fancies
himself injured is not long in putting his
•grievances on paper, which ho sends to the
nearest - publisher who happens to suit • his
" tas'e," and thO next th ng wo see is a half
column of abuse directed against seine unof•
fending individual. Thus it is that the public
press is often made the means of private wrong.
The columns of our papers too often teem
with abuse when they should' bo filled with
useful information. Editors have a duty to
perfortli in the selection of subjects to place
'before the people,.and if they forgot or wilful-
ly neglect it there is a Way of refrosi ing their
memories. In writing this I have t been
actuated by any other motive than a implo
desire to boar my testimony against the false
assertions contained in the article referred to;
and also to remove any false impressions that
may have been made upon the minds of those
unacquainted with the facts in the case. 'lf I
have succeeded, it I wish.

The late aqt of Congress altering the weight
of our silverieolOs was absolutely necessary,
from the relative value of gold and silver; it
has already had the effect of bringing two and
A half millions of silver bullion - into the mint
for coinage. During the month of April up
wards of formhundred thousand dollars was
coined in dollars, quarters, dimes,• and hiilf
dimes. Those are beginning to circulate
through the country, and wo hope that eye
long we wllrno longer suffer the ineonveni"
ems we are now subjected to for the want of
change. "
The small Spanish coin whiclivve have to
use at present, is so much worn as to bo much
below its nominal value ;,when our own new
coin gets' fairly into piroulaticn, it is hoped
the Spanish coin will be deposited at the mint;
at present the banks, - merchants, and trades
men ought to resolve no longer to receive the
twelve and a half pieces for more than tan
cents, 'or the six and a fourth for more than
five cents, as this fa on an aierage about their
value in weight.
I whighed—some of these coins,, comparing
ono with the other;'and it may be worth giving
the result: The silver quarter dollar by the
ad of Congress of January 18, 1837, was to
weigh 1031 grains, the new quarter dollar „by
the act of February, 1663, 96 grains, or
less.
I tried a Spanish dollar of 1801, little worn,
with four.of the new quarter dollars, rind they
required the addition of 80 grain's to balance;
the same dollar with four worn Spanish quar
ters required 37 grains; the now quarter dol
lar weighed grains lees than a Mexican
quarter, little worn, of the year 1828. I
weighed the new quarter dollar of ;863 with
the, light Spanish quarters now in circulation,
and tried a successively with eight of these
coins, talon indiscriminately; it proved heav
ier than four, and lighter than the other four.
.one Spanish quarter dollar weighed four and
a half grains more, and another five and a
half ~grains leas than the now quarter.
I weighed -a United States quarter dollar of
1831, with two worn Spanish twelve and a
half cent coins and onoditto six and_a fourth
piece, and lotted that it but one and
a half graidoo aCO. the three. - A ten
oentleee of 4881 Weighed inore than ono of
these worn Spanish twelve and a '_half cent
coins, and wanted only onerlsd half grains of
balancing another. A five cent U. S. coin of
1850. outweighed eight out of nine of the worn
Spanish six and a fourth cent bits. A Mexi
can twelve and a half cent piece, but little
used, balanced three six and a fourth cent
coins, wanting two and a half. grains.

opened at the Court House. If our. citizens
appreciate the advantages -of these great im

promptly and eagerly taken. Who can esti
mate the benefits to be derived from a free
supply of pure water carried at a cheap rate
into every dwelling—its promotion of cleanli

against that most direful calamity, fire=the
instantaneous and powerful spring it would'
give to mechaaical and manufacturing .enter

public-spirited citizens ought to consider them,
who can hesitate to lend his aid to the great

construction of gas and water-works, and his
report on the subject Is of 010 most satiafilatei:
ry character. No town in the State, he as
sures us, offers greater natural advantages and
facilities for the construction of such works at
a moderate cost than Carlisle. There are no
obstacles, no difficulties, to cause any fears of
'extreme expenditure. The cost of supplying
both water and gas will be far less thah•what
one of these projects has cost in most places.-
That the investment will be a profitable one
there 6an be no earthly doubt.
Our ancient borough seems at last to have
caught the spirit of improvement. We have
signs of- this on every- hand. This--onward
march will bo greatly accelerated by the erec
tion of gas and water-works. PrOpertj3 is new
rising. It-will be still more enhanced. Busi
ness of all kinds is gradually increasing. A
four-fold &glee of vigor and activity will be
infused into it on the completion of these en

new energy, and now manufacturing enterpri

linprovementa,-The Jail
The work on the new 'County Prison we no
tice is rapidly progressing, although some de
tendon. has been caused by wet 'weather.
The fotindations aro laid and are of Massive
strength. The stone-cutters are also busy in
the preparation of the stone for the walls, and
all branches of the work seem to be pushed
with an activity which warrants the expecta
tion that the structure will be completed at
the specified time. It will be an imposing or
nament tothe town.
In addition to the new jail severalother hn
provements are going on which will make grat
ifying changes in the appearance Of our prin
cipal streets. An elegant and capacious three
story building is in the course of erection by
Mr. Wm. 11. TnopT, Main street, the lower
story of which will show an attractive open
front forstores, and the third story be finished
as a public ball, having been already engaged,
as we understand, by the Odd FellOws Associ
ation.i Another improvement has been com
menced on Main street, by It. M. lIENDERSDN,
Esq., in the alteration and modernizing of ono
of 'the ancient damieils. of that quarter, late.
