They are sufficient, however, for all useful purposes. The Whigs aro badly beaten, but this is not surprising, as only a corporal's guard seem to have attended the polls'on election day. The way to win elections by staying at home has not yet been discovered, and until it is, we fear the Whigs must reap the penalty of their inaction. The Union maims the Senate stand—Demo orats 18; Whigs 14; Native I;—and the House, Domporats, 70; Whigs, 40; Natives, 4, and claims a majority of 43 over all opposi tions. Next week we' shall give the Official _tables, and list of members of both Houses, complete. Until then verbum sap., which ren dered into English means nuff ced. One thing,is apparent .from the figures we give above—that this unusual Democratic vic tory has not been won by any chang6 of popu lar sentiment or increase of party strength— for the Domocratio vote is forty thousand short of what it was •at tho State election of 1862, and about sixty thousand behind what it was in the ensuing national election. The Whig vote is about forty•ono thousand short of what it was in the State election last year.

The latter, head ed by John Von Buren & Co., complained to the President and asked.that either the Collec tor be ousted himself or that he be made to give n portion of the Government pap to,the •• Soils." To this demand the Administration acceded, so far as to instruct Mr. GUTHRIE, the Secretary of the Treasury, to write to BRONSON at2Vrisist upon a fairer distribution of the spoils. Mr. Gummy, did se, saying in his letter, among other things:— WI That all could not obtain office wag man' feet, and that the distribution could not be exactly equal.amongst the different sections of the port was equally. certain. Yet the dis• tributi intended to he'so made nä to give just cause o complaint to no one section, and it is believed that their intention has been car ried out, not only by the President:hlmself, but by most of his appointees, in respect to the offices under tho.latter. It has so happened that your appointments have bean very getierally made from that par— tion of, the party to whin!: you adhere. This you thought best calculated to secure union and her any. That desirable objeCt has failed toke obtained, and the other portion of the party feel that they have not been fully recognized by you, and, as things now stand,; may not do justice to your motive. I cell your attention to this subject, and to the fact that the President and his Cabinet, with entire unanimity, recognize that port.on of the par ty as democrats distinctly avowing and firmly maintaining the principles of the Baltimore platform, and entitled to be recognized by ap pointment to official stations in your depart ment. Al!ow me to express the expectation that you will recognize them in the only way that will carry_oonviction with it. . This letter the Secretary of the Treasury wrote, as ho gives Mr. Bronson to understand, by direction and authority of the President of tho United:States! What dignified business. to be sure, for that k great functionary, to be thus interfering with the potty appointments of clerks, tide-waiters and watchmen in the Now York Custom House! Many newspapers are calling it a blunder in Secretary Uuthrio to write such a letter But ho only did as he was bid, and hie letter only shows to what a depth of meanness President - Pierce has sunk his Administration. .But Mr. Bronson was_found_to have. morn of the true spirit of a &cerim than thus to make himself subservient to the. mean and pet tyitrty manouvreing of the Administration. He was the fortunate occupant of a conspicu ous and lucrative office, but ho has shown that he values independence above lucre. A few days only elapsed after Squretary Guthrie's letter appeared before Mr. Bronson was out with a manly reply, in which ho gives the Sec rotary notice that he will not obey their pitiful orders, but will bo governed by his sense of duty to the government in making his appoint ments. Listen to his dignified and just rebuke of his would-be masters in the following ex" tracts from his letter : "This is, I believe, the first instance in which a member of the Cabinet has interfered with the disorition of a Collector, Marshal, Postmaster, or any other government officer, having patronage — co — b — eirow,. arid laid down! a rule for his government, in the selection of his deputies, clerks, or other agentsand it certainly is the first instance in which a pith lie officer has boon instructed to go into an in quiry about 'sections,' and see that a just distribution of offices is made between them." lle further states that ho is. aware it is his duty to obey all lawful instructions ; but when the Secretary undertakes to direct mutters which the law has confided to the discretion of the_Colleoter, he will use his own judgment and, in conclusion, adds: fla Budd, W. 110,099 -"So far as relates to the mere dispensation of patronage, without regard to my responsi bility for the acts of the person appointed, I would gladly transfer the trust to another. I have no taste for such matters—aspiratioa.l have none—and my comfort would ho greafli promoted if some one also would perform thel service for Me.

A PROBLABIATION s.] Fellow Citizens: A. merciful and beneficent Providence has blessed our country during the year thdt has just pissed.- His exceeding goodness Mills for an earnest twani-' festatian of our gratitude as a people. A'firm beliet-in the existence of a God, and a just conception of . tho perfections : of His nature—of His attributes of wisdom end power —of His boundless' munificence and mercy, lie at the foundation of true' religion, and consti tute the basis of that righteousness that ex altoth -a nation. . . An humble acknowledgment of dependence on the 'overruling care of "that God who theasuroth the °coin in 'the hollow of His hand," whose will controls the destiny of na tions, and who yet condescends to feed 'the the fowls of the air, and clothe the lilies of the field, is on net of honing° 'eminently be coming n people so peculiarly favored asvwe have been. The blessings of pence have' distinguished the closing year. With the entire family of States our relations are amicable, and . give promise of a bright future. Our free inetitu- _ . Lions of governments have been perpetuated, and religiouaand political liberty vouchsafed fo the people. The cause of education, mora lity, and religion have been steadily on the advance; the arts and sciences have gained additional perfection, and all the great inter ests of the pimple,. physical and moral, have flourished. In our own Commonwealth, the merciful care and boundless goodness of Providence have been most strikingly manifested, • We are under special obligations for his• benefi canoe and mercy. The people have not 'only been spared the afflietions of the plague and pestilence, but they have been blessed With an abundance_ of the -choicest-productions- of the earth. The seasons have passed in their reg ular order. Winter and Spring, and Summer have come and gone, and Autumn is now. " Seed time and harvest" we have, had, and the husbandman has rejoined in the rich re wards of his toil. The valleys and hills, and plains have given of their abundance, to make glad the hearts of the people. .The desolations of famine, which at, present seem to threaten some of the nations of the eastern continent, ne do the' devastations of war, have thus been turned from this people; by the strong arm of Ms pbwer. _ "Thee pestilence. thqt _walketh in darkness, and the destruction, that wasteth at neon day" —whose ravages have sorely affloted the citi zens, of surrounding States,-have not boen permitted to invade our favored Common wealth. It has pleased a merciful rrovidence to restrain the hand of the destroyer, and to bestow on Pennsylvania season of health and unalloyed prosperity. ...- These manifold blessings are in the gift of God, and to Him our-grateful acknowledgments should be devoutly made. Under the solemn convictions of duty, and in conformity with the wishes of many good citizens, I, William Bigler, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, do hereby appoint Thursday, the 24th day of November next, us a day of general thanksgiving and praise throughout the State, and earnestly im plore the people that, setting aside_ all worldly pursuits on that day, they unitein offering thanks to Almighty God for his past goodness and mercy, and beseech him for a continuance of his blessings.

This fast shows the accomplishment of,, the long sought Northwest Possnge, through the Arctic Sea, and solves a problem which British navi gators have for many years been endeavoring to unravel, and the attempt at which has pro— bably been the cause of the loss of Sir John 'Franklin and his daring associates.

The Caloric Shipls described and commend ed at some length, but the Report admits that "its end is'not yet fully attained." A- Harpoon is described which makes the whale kill himself ;,Cho' more he pulls the line, the deeper goes the Harpoon. An ice-making machine has)been patented, which goes by a steam engine.. In an experi mental trial, it film several hottles'of sherry and produced blocks of ice of the size of ,a cu bic foot, when the thermometer was standing at 80 degrees. It is calculated that for every ton of coal put into the , jurnace, it will make a ton of ice. From Dr. • .Gale's Examiner's Rtyort we gather some idea of the value of'patents., A man who had Medea slight imprOvement in-Straw Cutters took a model pf his machine through. the Western States, and after a tour of.eight months' returned with s4o,ooo:—' Another had a machine , to' thresh and clean grain; which in fifteen Months he sold for $60,- 000. .A third obtaineda pident fora printer's ink, refused :550,000 for it, and finally sold it for $60,000. These are ordinary cases , While such inventions as the Telegraph, the Planing, Machine ; and the India Rubber. Patents, are worth millions each. Twenty-seven Harvesters, fifteen Plows, twenty-sit seed planters; eight threshing ma- 1 chines, ten corn-hullers and three horse-rakes have been patented .during the year, in Addi tion to those now in use. Sit new sew mills, Avon single splitters, and twenty new planing machines have been patented during the year. Seven now machines that spin, twenty that weave, and seven that sew, aro also described. Examiner Line's report-describes various new electrical Ittien' Rens. Among these is an electric whaling apparatus by which the : Whale 'is literally !''shocked_•.toideath."_ _Another is tin Electro Magnetic Alarm, which rings bells and displays signals in Case of fire, or burglars. Another is 'an Electric clock, which wakes you up, tolls you what time kis, and lights a lamp for you, at any hour youylease.. Where is F 1 "sound gatherer," a sort of huge ear trumpet,,to be placed-in front of a loco motive, bringing to the EnOneer'snar lilt the noises ahead,rperfeetly distinct, notwithstand ing the rattle of the train. There is an invention that picks up pins f rom a confused heap; turns theM all round with their heads --- up, -- and - stiokty - theMln pa pers, in regular rows. Another goes through the whole process of oigar making, taking in tobacco leaves and turning out tho.perfect ar ticle. Ono machine mitt ebeeeet another scours knives tend forks; anef i et m iltoks boots; ano ther rook stile cradle ; and seven or eight .take. in washing and ironing. Ther6 is a parlor chair patented that can not be tipped back on two legs, and a railway chair that can be tipped back into any posi tion, without any legs at all. Another - patent is for a machine that counts the passengers in an omnibus and takes their fares. when a very fat man gets in, it counts two, and charges double There are, a' variety of guns patented that load thennielvesi afish line that adjusts its own bait; and a rat trap that throws away the t rat. and then baits itself,a nd stands in the corner for another. The truths oftho Patent Office arc stranger bun • , There is n 'machine also by which a man prints insteivd of writing, his thoughts. It is played on like a piano. And speaking of pi tinos, it is estimated that nine thousand are made every year in the United States, giving constant employment to ono thousand nine hundred hands, and costing over two millions of dollars 1 Ono class of inventions, we are glad to see, meets with deserved reprobation. Whatever may be said of others, the Examiners of the Patent Office are not likely 'to exaggerate,- ei ther from ignorance or design. This is Their official judgment respecting burning fluid": There is yet much to bo accomplished in perfecting artificial light; and it is to be re gretted,that inventors should be so generally satisfied with attempts on their part to render the use of dangercius materials popular, rather than occupy therimeives' with the search after something that could be used to supply this want,,without endangering the safety of all who participate in its consumption., • , The desire to render the use of highly cent bustible fluids less dangerous than they can be when burned" in lamps of the ordinary con struction, has given rise to a few .impreve mehis, for which patents have, been granted. Thus far, however, nothing - has teen presented which can render these compounds entirely safe ; while the frequent and dreadful accidents—al most daily recorded from their general use should prompt the public to the utmost oars, if not to banish them from all dwellings, as movable lights, and especially when burned in lamps. of fragile material. Ilta.,A portable machine for sawing wood has been invented by two young men of Cin cinnati. It is constructed on the same pi•inci- pie of tho steam fire engine, which they can wheel about from one part of the city to the other, and when they received a job to saw wood, eanraisenteam in about ten minutes, and in half an hour out a cord of wood in ono or two pieces, as may bo,desirod. • ' glE9 c .New Orleans has at length boon deola. red,. by the local Board of lloalth, to be free from the opidomlo which has boon so fearfully .desolating its Lowe, and the Bee , announces to absentees that thry may now safely roturp.

But however premature this first snow, to the farmer' rind manufauturer it was wel come, for the ground was exceedingly dry and the streams low. Fatal Casually A fatal accident took place in. Allen town ship on Thursday evening last, adding anothor to the many victims of the great destroyer— inteMptirance. As we are informed,, William Fulton, of that township, blacksmith, was ac companying a wagon loaded with coal on it 3 way from Menhanicsburg to his. shop. • The waggoner had occasion to stop ,and leave his .team a few minutes on tho road near Shep herdstown. Fulton, who was walking, over took the wagon and got on the saddle-horse, ailing. the tonmuter ,he w)uld drive awhile.— t is supposed.he guve the horses a. cut .with the whip, as they started off briskly, and had not gone far before be was sln to fall between the two horses across, the tongue of the wagon. Ho was taken up insensible and died in a few minutes. Upon examination the physi cians it was found his neck was broken. He was a hard working meohanio of respectable character, but intemperate habits, and was• intoxicated at the time of the casualty: A gOptal turat)-:-Vialrn Our exchanges from . all quarters of the State ore filled , with details of Agricultural Lahibitiouy iu their respective localities. We read these accounts with warm - interest, and with increasing regret every year that wo havo no such digplay in Cumberlaud : County to Chronicle.. Cumberland County we -ore confi dent has the agriettlltyal.wcaltltand means of making a fine displisy, butif she has not it is time the spirit of her farmers was aroused, and their eyes opened to the rapid advances their neighbOrs are making, Agricultural Exhibitions'pro certainly beneficial, because they excite that ambitioti and emulationtn the Production of artioles which lead I,C('the high wit improvement. Our farmers and mechanics cannot know vrhat 4 progress they are making "Wiffidut " exhibition of their products. Another gieat advantage is in the interchange of ideas and diffusion of agricultural informa tion which' such meetings secure. Let us resolve that next year there shall be such a Fair in Cumberland COunty. Let us have such a gathering of the products, the farming im plements, and stock, as our farmers can bring forward, arid the skill 'pf our mechanics pro ducle—and from the ladies such a display of dowers and plantb, and household articles, Wanl and ornamental, as will show•really how much taste, skill and enterprise is to be found. iu our ancient county. Who will move first in the matter? Our Representatives and Ploitibition. The last Volunteer says, "the Senator and members of Assembly from this county, we have reason to suppose, will support a bill submitting the question [of a prohibitory law] to a vote of the people." This is all the whig candidates would haie- done bad they been eleoted,.anil we hope the Volunteer'B informa tidn will be satisfactory to those whigs who voted for Moser and McKee. A GREAT WAR If war has broken out between Russia and Turkey,, it. will be an interesting sp,entacle.to see the struggles ofn great empire for its last existence. With' the character which Russia now bears, the sympathies of this country will be with the Turks. There will be, in tho Turkish army very many Poles, Hungarians, Italians, and. other political refugees, animated with an intense hatred of Russia, and prepared to ° contest stoutly her advance. The first plan of Turks will be to act on the defensive, and we may therefore, consider Moldavin and Walla chia as lost, to the Turkish I!linpiro Already, unless some groat success crown the Ottoman arms. It can . hardly he conjectured . what course the othe r powers will take. Austria, probably, watithooserto join Russia, and talto the pro• vines of Servin as .her pay. England and Franco will watch all 'approach upon Constan tinople, and may .join in the contest, if that city is threatened. i Not much however can be done on either side until next spring. /21- The popular vote ,of Pennsylvania for election purposes roaches about four hundred thousand; yet in the recent State canvass not more than two hundred and seventy thousand votes mere polled: so that about one hundred and thirty thousand legal voters abstained from the enrolee of the elective-franchise. cOurse, the. majority of theao non-voting citi aens are Whigs, or, opponents of the Demo, erotic party. .llad any considerable proportion of these Whig taken the trouble to go to the pip, Christian Myera would have been elected Surveyor Cleneraby a -handsome majority ; for it appears by \the Fcturgile that over ten thousand persons who voted the regulaiDemo r °ratio State ticket refused to voto for Mr. Draw loy; the .Demooratie candidate for,tbat'office• oporatfves of , the Ilarrisbarg Cot struck for - this ton , hottr kyittem Tuesday .

Upon this ruling, the defendant was acquitted. 13 - '4l..The Cholera was prevailing in Liver pool at the sailing of the last steamer.

Myers—Dear Sir—You have asked my opinion of the influences of your Rook 'Rose Syrup, in any instance of Nursing Sore Mouth which may have come under my notice. • A lady in this city, severely afflicted with this painful disease, and much prostra tion, a few weeks after confinement with twins, commenced using the Rock Rose, under 'Cy ad vice, and received immediate relief. She had previously suffered much floor this disease, with her other_ children, and was generally, for a long time, in a delicate state of health, and suffered greatly from canker. The Rook Rose became an invaluable bleseingdo-her and her babes, who still live, and I trust may bo reared by this remedy. REV. E. R. WARREN. New London, April 8, 1852. DIED.., In this borough on the 10th inst , JOHN SPONNEBENGER, eldest sou of John George and Ana Elizabeth Sponneberger, in the 21st year of his ago.

Ills fellow carpenters of Car lisle, and the Lutheran Choir and Sabbath School, to both of which he belonged, met at the Lutheran Church about ono o'clock, P. M. whence they proceeded wearing the badge of mourning, to the residence of his father, when joining a large concourse of citizens, anxious' to pay their last tribute of respect to his cher ished memory, they 'accompanied his remains to their final resting place, in the Lutheran burial ground, of which church ho was a con sistent, exemplary member. Conspicuous in the procession for their sadness was his little class of Sabbath scholars, whose silent grief spoke eloquently their appreciation of his pi ous labor, in their behalf. Though diffident , and unassuming in his manner, few deaths have, for years, thrown -a gloom, over the friends of s 6 many. of. our citizens, as that of this estimable—we might justly say, incom parable young man. Warm-hearted, generous, and sincere with his companions ; Lie was, at the same time, a a pattern of filial and frater nal affection t and it was this quality more than any other, which joined with a genuine piety, scouted the esteem of his acryuaintan, cos, and 'the love.liitf those who stood in tho toore.intimate relation of parent, ,pupil;' or friend..
