KEEP COOL AND RESERVE TOUR FIRE.-If
tho Whig party will only keep cool and reserve
their fire; says the Vicksburg Whig, till the
groat battle of 1866 commences; the' various
factions of the Democratic party will have so
belabored each other, that the conservative
portion of the people will gladly unite upon
or-President Fillmore, the Ron. Edward Eve
rett, William C. Rives, Gov. Jones, or any
,other good conservative Whig that the party
may nominate for President.
)I€?_. If it isn't "respectable" in us to inti
mate t hat the Democrats will now have njolly
time on the people's money, neither is it res
pectable in the Volunteer to tell a flat false
heed in saying that we stigmatized Slessrs .
Bank's and Forsythe as robbers and thieves.—
We did no such thing. The mercenary hordes
on our public works it scorns mayhave a jolly
time with the people's money, without those'
"respectable" gentlemen having anything to
do with it. But there is no use of mincing
matters in speaking of our public, works. Did
not the Democrarey of old Berke feel perfect :
ly assured that there must be outrageous cor
ruption, when they deliberately resolved last
summer that "it is utterly impossible to have
the public works well and honestly managed
whilst in the hands of the State ?" Have not
loeofeco members of the Legislature over and
over again, during late sessions of the Legis
lature,'denounced the public works as shills
of iniquity and corruption ? Don't the people
every where feel, as 'the 'State appropriatic;n
bill is regularly increased nearly half a - million
a year that there is "something rotten in the
State of" Pennsylvania? If to allude to and
expose these iniquities is "federal malignity,"
we fear our neighbor will find us frequently
guilty of it. porno of these days we still hope'
the people will arouse in their strength and
scourge the plunderers from the Treasury. -
WESTMORELAND BOMBSHELLS
Gov. BIGLER has stirred up a hornet's nest
among the democracy of Westmoreland. The
two democratic papers there are down upon
him furiously on account of his interference
in their cciuniy strain. It is alleged that' ho
has tampered with ono of the Westmoreland
delegates to the State Convention by giving
him an office. Tho delegates are all opposed
to Bigler's re-nomination: BRILER is also es
tablishing a new looofoca press there to advo
cate his nomination. This dictation and at
tempt at whipping-in has aroused the bitterest
feeling towards BILLER, and the cry of the
papers is " down with BIGLER and CLOVER."
There are strong signs of a Hardshell party
being organized in Westmoreland, which will
teach Biailtn"siiiika lesson as the Hards of N.
York have. given PURG.
THE LATE STATE TAtn.—The executive,.
Committee of the State Agricultural Seciety
hold a meeting at their office in Ilarrisburg,
last week; when it was asceitained that the
receipts at the exhibition held in Pittsburg
amounted to $17,200--deducting $B,OOO paid
in premiums and other expenses, a balance,
will be left of $4,000 ; which, added to the
appropriation of $2,000 by the State, and the
sum in the Treasury and invested in stocks,
will reach the sum of $15,000. Ii is contem
plated by the officers of the Society, to use
this sum for the purpose Of establishing an
Agricultural school,'a r nd application will be
made to the Legislature for an act:of incorpo
ration for the purpose. It is believed by the
officers of the Society, that an institution of
this kind, established upon a. proper batis,-
could bo sustained by the resources of the So-'
ciety. -

The New York 'Times thus alludes to the result
as between the 'Herds' and d Softs e.
Of the relative strength of the, Herds and
'Softs, our returns are not complete etioegh to
warrant any deffinito judgement. The Softs,
however, have done better in the oity, and the
Herds out of it, than was 'expected/. In the
interior the Herd vote is unexpectedly large.
In Schoharie county, for example, the Herds
have 1000 majority over the Whigs, while the
aggregate Soft vote scarcely reaches 100.—
According to present appearances, the Demo
cratic vote will be pretty equally divided
throughout the State, shelving that the dis

MASSACHUSETTS ELECTION.
The 'Whig• Triumphant
Tho Telegraph brings partial returns of the
election in Illuesachpselts on Monday. The
Whigs have achieved a complete triumph.—
Three candidates being in the field there is no
choice for Governor by the people, but there
is a large plurality of Whigs in the Legisla
ture. [which will secure the Governor. ' The
new Constitution advocated by the Free Soil

- The result in New York, says a cotempormy,
is indeed a terrible rebuke to Preldent Pierce's
Administration, and' cannot fail to exercise a
powerful influence in fomenting and widening
the dissatisfaction' which Guthrie's conduct has
given rise to. But for his interference, it is
now manifest, the lards would have signally
triumphed over the Softs. Even with all the
power and influence of the National and Sqate
Administrations arrayed against them, the
Harris are likely to have polled a larger vote
in tho'Stato than the Softs. They haVe thus
made their mark, to use the language of Guth
rie to Bronson, in a 'way that will carry con
viction
with it," that they aro the stronger
party, and more to be feared than the Van
Burenites—a fact which will be felt by the Ad
ministration; and not be without its effects in
raising voices against it that would have other
wise been mute. The tote cast for the Hard
Shells is not 'Maly a terrible rebuke to Presi
dent Pierce, but cannot fail to teach Guthrie
that ho committed a most egregious blunder
in removing Bronson for not. appointing Free
Soilei-s. The President is ddubtless now sat
isfied that it'ffas a grand mistakecii - mixing
the National Administration up with Gov. Mar
cy's quarrel. We suspect Marcy and Guthrie
will have to give way to Caleb Cushing and
Henry A. Wise.
A ConrEsstonl—The Now York Herald, one
of the earliest of the PiereO advocates Baps:
" This is the result of the Presidential can
vass and election of 1862. 'A sorrowful thing
it is for all of us to look back upon the toils,
the exertions, the fears, the proud hopes and
exultations of that exctiting period, and to re
flect that this is all the fruit they have borne.
To think that when gallant old General Scott
—whose name is coupled with almost every
victory that has shed luster on our national
name—whose reputation as a soldieris not ex
celled by dny of the greatest criVtaine of Eu—
rope—whose honesty anti integrity-have never
been sullied by a single breath of suspicion—
when this noble veteran came before us, and
asked us for our vote—to think that we refus
ed it, in spite of personal feelings, solely
through the fear of wblitlias - really happened
since. For it is well that' Gerieral -Pierce re
collect it, had it not been for there killing sus
picions of lukewarmness on the elrivery
tion Which hung round General Scott, the
present incumbent of the highest office in this
country would never have left Concord."
BANE POMMY AT Yens, Pa.-L-On Tuesday
last a stranger presented at the'counter of the
York (Pa.) Bank, two checks, amounting to
about $430, which purported to have been
signed by Abraham Hiestand, Jr., of Hallam
township, in flint county, and endorsed by J.
Sampson. The checks were cashed, and the
stranger, who' is described as a well dressed
person, about thirty years of age, and of the
medium size, pocketed the funds and departed.
The Press says he is supposed -to be a man
who called at Mr. Heistand's mill, the day be
fore, and represented hielsolf'ais ono of the
firm of Buckner & Walters, commission mer
chants of Baltimore, and solicitedshis custom.
In the course of the conversation the stranger'
requested the use of Mr. H's desk for the pur
pose of writing - a letter, ,which was freely
granted. While the letter was being written,
the stranger was left alone, when he abstraCt
ed fromlhe desk two ,tilank cheokS, which ho
filled and used as above stated.

WILL LATER
The steamship Baltic arrived at New York
on Monday with four days later advices from
Europe. The'news is very uncertain and - noff;
trndictory. One report is, that the Turks,
thirty thousand strong, crossed the Danube on
the 27th; •two days after the period assigned
by the Sultan for th'e Russians' evacuation of
the Principalities ; another is, that Omni Pasha
had received orders not to cross the Danube,
nod that an armistice, for an indefinite period,
had been agreed upon, with further diplomatic
notes for a settlement of the difficulty. It ap
pears, however, that the Sultan's orders for
postponing hostilities until the first of Novem
ber, was to be considered as void if hostilities
had commenced when the order reached the
Turkish commander-in-chief. The anxiety ag
to what the next few clays would bring forth
was very great. The money market, in Lon
don, rose under the reports of an armistice,
and fell off again slightly on the reported
crossing of the Danube. The prices of bread
stuffs were generally well supported at former
rates-.
TIIE FAILVICE OF TUE BANE Or .MASSILLON.
The Western papers speak in strong terms of
the failure of the. bank' of ftlassillon, 'which
blow up under "very peculiar circumstances."
It moo chartered in 1835 for twenty years.,
Capiial stock s2oo,ooo..with privilege, to issue
$400,000. R. Dwight, of Now York, bought
enough of its stock to give him entire control
of the concern. Ho employed about $259,000
of its bills in builditig-the Chicago and Nlissic
sippi Railroad ; so that that amount of its bills
is is the pockets of the :Western farmers end
laborers. Dwight 'has possession - of about
$360,000 of its assets, it is said,Ad has lately
failed in New York, tho bank gees deign, of
course,' with no present moans to redeem its
bills. Nearly the entire funds of the bank`
appear, from this representation, to have been
monopolized by One man.
i
StrlE WAIL IN CHINA—ITS BARBARIT/EB.--The
advices from China give shocking accounts, of
the barbaiities which are committed at the
sacking of towns and on the field of battle.—
It is stated that in one engagement oacAhou.
sand were killed, besides a large number who
were drowned by being pushed into a river; in
another, seven thousand were killed; in another
seven hundred wore burnt to death and three
hundred killed, only ninety prisoners having
been brought in by the victors; but they had
the heads of ono hundred and fifty others.
Numerous engagementa are mentioned where
thousands perished. The Emperor appears to
set the example of barbarous cruelty. When
ono of his officers is defeated ha takes his head
off. Every general, therefore, is fighting for
his own head.
noun TRADE AT ROCIIEBTER,-It may' be
of interest to thoso abroad, says the Rochester
Union, who have never visited the flour mills
of that city, to, know something of the extent
of their operations talkie season-of the year.
There are 92 run of stones in motion hero, all
engaged.in merchant grinding. They manu•
facture daily seven thousand.barrels . of flour, for
for which they take in thirty-one thousand htts..
hels of wheat, tho total value of which is over
forty-one thousand dollars. To purchase the,
stock and operate these mills, over twelve hun:
dred thousand dollars are drawn from the bank

Crno. Perry entered the.moutli of the Gulf of
Jeddo, proceeded . up several miles, end:then
turn e si—lielhad_no_diree nt erenuro o with
the Emperor or his Court, and did not go within
fifty miles of the' Imperial city of Jeddo, nor

mony Of landing, a short distanCe froth the
town of Crop, seems to have been performed
with .sutlicient , pomp—gulls were fired.when
the Commodore left his ship in a, boat, and
there . was all the music necessary to the solem
nity of the Occasion. The President's letter
was delivered to a. man of rank sent down from
Jeddo for 'that purpose—the Commodore re
embarked, promising to return for an answer
in the spring, and went to sea. All this strikes
„us as a very frivolous end trifling performance,
;) when considered in connexion with the parade
and pretensions which have attended the or
ganization and movements of the Japan Expe
dition. The reception of the letter promises
nothing:. The Japanesenteceived a letter from
President Polk ,some six or .seven years.ago,
which they returned with a pOlito but peremp
tory refusal to make a treaty into nuy negotia
tions. When Com. Perry goes brick, six months
hence, they will no doubt make him a similar
answer; and in' the interim they will prObably
'strengthen their, defences, and prepare them
selves to deal summarily with his little fleet,
in ease he should hesitate about departing. It
is evident from the hasty glimpses obtained of
the Japanese,: that lhe civilization and intelli
genet, of the people aro of a much higher
grade than we have been accustomed to sup
pose, ' They knew far tnoro of the U. States

.last, we are gratified,to find by the reports of
the daily press, was entirely successful, as we
were confident it would be:
The Evening Bulletin says :—" Mr, &mu-
MACITER reoeivod more applause than any of
the other porformers." The P, nnlylvanian
says:—.. , Mr: If oxen SCJIUMACEIERi the violinist
of the, occasion, although evidently nervous,
showed himself to bo . a master hand ; his stac
cato bowing was tremendous,.while - the great
expreseiou with which ho played his 'tunes,
we have rarely heard equalled." The Daily
Register, after giving a pretty long description
of the ability of the other performers, with
whom his'Opitio was not altogether satisfied,
says, "opthe five artists, perhaps, Hon- Senn
maonoet was the most satisfactory, and he do
ser idly received very great applause."
The New Rail Road
Tfio friends of the proposed rail road from
York by 'way of Dillsburg to Green Castle, in
Franklin county, are urging their project with
great earnestness and energy. We learn that
t . fie last meeting, held
,in Centreville on the
sthinst., was largely attended, The Shippens.
burg News says several speeches were delivered
on the occasion, setting forth thepractraability,
expediency, importance, &0., of tbo rood.
Capt. J. MIFFLIN of Shippe.ishurg, an Engineer
of. enlarged experience and practice, having
previously gone over the route by request' of
the friends, clearly demonstrated its feasibility
and the superior adaptation of the - face of the
country to the easy and cheap laying of the
road. Ho was' followed by Gen. T.. C. Miller,
who not only concurred in. the sentiments of
the Captain, but hazarded the opinion that the
road would be made, and expressed the belief
that it would eventually be the great connect
ing.linlc between the groat east and • the Ten
nessee Valley, The General's speoct is spoken
of in the,highest terms as having been a close
and forcible exposition of the superior olaims
of the road to the attention of monied men,
'and tho benefits and advantages it would af
ford not only to the country through which it
would pass but to the east and west. The
meeting was a very interesting one, and ever s y
man exhibited that zeal which is necessary to
a successful issue.. They adjourned to Moot
in Fayetteville on Saturday the Ditb.inst.

Tot Loot SVILLE TB A GED v.--Th c late trag
edy at Louisville, in which an eminent and
accomplished teacher, in the full ti , le of health,
activity and usefulness, came to a sudden and
violent death, by the hands of n mail of wealth
and fashion, has excited a profound sensation.
The offence of the teacher, who had formerly
been a favorite teacher in Mr. Ward's family,
was, that he had chastised a young brother of
the Wards, for a violation - of the regulations
of the s l ebool, and telling a falsehood to hide
the offence. Matthew War, the brother, and
another brother, armed themselves, one with
loaded p stols and the other with a bowie knife,
went to the school and shot the teacher, Mr.
Butler.
The evidence of the scholars, on the examin
ing trill, which resulted in Ward and his bro
ther lt - e'ing committed for murder in the first
degree, all concurred as to the shooting end
tho character of the provocation.
TIIF. BIBLE Ilst TIIC PUBLIC SCIIOOL9,—Mi:,
Randall, the Superintendent of Public Schools
of New York, has given a decision relative to,
to the reading of the Protestant version of the
Bible in the public schools. It appears that a
Catholic had been sending one of his children
to a school .in Washington county, in that
State; that the boy was requested to read
the Bible, (King James' translation,) in oppo
sition to the express commends of his.parents.
The pupil chose to obey his father and mother
rather than his echo ltnaster. The schoomas
ter then chastised I.itu for his contumacy.—
Thereupon the parents appealed to the Super
iittendent as to the right of the schoolmaster
-to compel-a Catholic-to-read-a-Protestant Bi
ble. The Superintendent decided in favor of
the Catholic.
DISOBEDIENCE OF OIIDER9.-A coalitiOn has
been formed between tho Looofocoa and Free
Soilers of Wore:ester County, Massachusetts,
and a Itst of 'Sentifars nominated with three
Free Sailers and two Looofocos. Tho Loco
foco convention resolved that they held sacred
the right of each State to conduct its own of
fairs in its own way " without dictation from
any source."
TERRIBLE RAVAGES or CHOLERA,—A letter
dated Remepois, Cuba, October llth,says that
in the limited and sparsely peopled district be
tween Matanzast,and a point below Seguelo
Grande 20 leagues in extent, 13,000 slaves have
boon carried off by the Cholera, according to
the offioial accounts, winch aro known to be
under the mark. The attacks were very shor t
Borne of them only lasting an hour.
