EarA Now PAnTr of the Native American
stripe figured in the late Now York city elec
tion,. though without any open organization,
distinctive name, or nominations. It is pop
ularly called KnoW Nothing," and is in the
nature of a secret order, the Societies being
called wigwams. It selects its candidates from
among those nominated by Ober parties, and
seeks to put down the influence of foreigners
in elections. The name above given seems to
be derived - from the answers given by its mem
bers, when questioned in reference to it. This
party polled several thousand in New York
city, at the last election: It has also been or
ganized in Newark, N. J., where it has 2500
members.
M.A.:in. Charles G. Atherton, U. S. Sen
ator from New Hampshire, who had been lying
dangerously ill for several days, from paraly

the warm personal and political friend of

plunged the President in deep sorrow.

prosperity of these places, and the publication
of local daily piers will add materially to their

LOCOFOCO TESTIMONY
In noticing a statement made by the Pitts
berg Union, that the funds appropriated for
the completion of the Portage ltnilwny had
been exhausted and the debt not yet paid, the
Westmoreland Argos, the Looofoco organ of
that county, remarks that the lust Legislature
made appropriations exceeding five millions of
dollars, and that yet in advance of the meet
ing of the'next Legislature, a new, loan of for
ty Mousand dollars is about to be mode for the
Portage Router:, y. This it strongly condemns,
and says t
If the people do not soon open their eyes to
the alarming condition of our finances. it will
be too late. When' will these bans cease? Aro
the Democracy of the State unequal to the
task of placing honest and able men in power,
who will guard and protect their rights and
interests Must the people forever remain
silent and inactive while the Portage road, and
the Cormorants who grow rich on its spoils,
devour their toils and substance ? This •is a
question that belongs to the people and it is
for them to make the reform. If they aro un
able dr unwititig to guard their interests, they
cannot expect that others will do it.
INTERESTING FROM E1.1.4011E
The steamship Arabia; with Liverpool dates
to the'sth, arrived at New York on Thursday
last. In Liverpool flour had declined IL sixpence
to a Shilling per bbl. The news film the East
is of a conflicting and contradictory character.
The rumor, however, is col:dirtied, that a Turk
ish force of 80,000 had crossed the Danube,
and it was announced that they had occupied
Ralafat. It was also reported that they had
been attacked there and defeated by the Rus
sians in a pitched, battle. - • -
Omar Pasha, before crossing, the Danube,
addresod a spirited proclamation to the army,
stirring up their patriotism, and declaring be
would " sacrifice his body and soul, to be re
venged on the fnvaders of his country. Ile
kept hie word as to the Russian evacuation
Of the Principalities, and at the expiration of
the fifteen days, the Turks were actively em
ployed in transporting troops to certain por
tions of the Danube, from which they could
cross with little further obstacle, to the oppo
site banks held by the Russians. The passage
of the Danube by the Turks under command
of Omar Pasha was effected without opposi
tion.
The reason assigned for the evacuation of
Kalafat by the Russians, was the great mor
tality which prevailed among the troops in the
different camps. it was rumored, however,
that the Russians afterwards returned to Kai
slat, and in II pitched battle, had defeated the
Turks.
Prince Paskiewitoh bad left St. Petersburg
for Bucharest, to take charge of the Russian
army in the Principalities. She main force of
the Russians were in position near Bucharest,
where several hundred pieces of artilery were
posted, and every preparation made for de
fence.
The latest accounts from Bucharest report
that 2000 'finial had "appeared off Guirieers,
and fired into the town. In the conflict, which
is stated to have been very dospyrate, many
Russians and Turks were killed. The Turks
recelyeil the worst of the fight, and retreated
up the river, closely followed by the Rus
sians. •
At Kalafat it was reported that there were
daily" skirmishes between the Turks and Rus
sians, though they amounted to nothing seri-
Another dispatch from Vienne; by way of
Paris, under date of Nov. fid, announced that
a battle had taken place near Kalafat between
the Turks and Russians. The Turks number•
• ed 8000, and the Russian force was only 2600.
Tho engagement was a desperate ono, and
lasted about two hours, when the Russians re
treated with a kcavy loss.
Prince Gortchakoff had left Bucharest for
Karaiova. Ilia departure produced a pro
' found sensation. " A battle was expected to
take place in that direction, ' Karaiova was
full of Russian troops.
It was supposed that the Russians would
purposely allow n cOnsiderable - porthin ef - the
Turks to establish themselves In Lesser Wel.
• laohia, in order to bring ihem to battle as soon
as possible; and as the Russians felt confident
of victory, they would, after driving, backthe
Turks, quietly await a settlement of the affair
'on much- terms as the groat •Euroopan powers
thought reasonable.
p The latest reports state that martial low
had been proclaimed .by theßussians in But
cheroot, and in all the other.towns of the Dan
ubian Principalities. All intercourse with the
Turks was prohibited under pain of death,
and any person , found corresponding with a
Turk summarily executed.
The endeavors of Austria were still directed
towards inducing the Czar and the Huhu' to
adopt the Vienna note, and there were some
hopes of success attending the effort.
The latest telegraphic accounts report that
there had been battles :Circassia and Dha-
Igietnn, and that the Russians were defeated
by, the mountaineers. .

The Sabbath to the Working Nan
The following extract from a prize Essay on
the Sabbath, written by a Scotch journeyman
printer, is, one of the most truthful and elo
quent appeals ever put forth for tho Sabblith
as Colvil blessing. If there was no divine or
human law on the subject, there are a thou
sand reasons to be drawn from the laws of na
ture why man should
_observe it .strictly as a
day of rest : -
...
' ' Yokefellow ! think how the abstractiori-oc .
the Sabbath would hopelessly enslave the
working einem, with whom we are identified.
Think of labor thus going on in one monoto
none and continuous and eternal cycle—limbs
forever on the rack,. the fingers forever plying,
the eye-balls forever straining, the brow for
ever sweating, the feet forever plodding, the
brain forever throbbing, the shoulders forever
drooping, the loins forever noising, and the
restless mind forever scheming.
, Think of the beauty it would efface; of
the merry heartedness it would extinguish;
of the giant strength that it would tame ; of
the resources of nature that it would exhaust:
of the aspirations that it would crush ; of tile
sickness that it would breed ; of the projects
that it would wreck ; of the groans that it
would extort; of the lives that it would immo
late ; and of the cheerless graves that it would
prematurely dig! See them toiling and moil
ink, sweating and fretting, grinding and hew
ing, weaving and spinning, strewing and gath

A HUNDRED MILE TROTl—About the , Most
brutal amusement, next to prize fighting and

THE POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE of PA.
- From the Phina. Corn. itegistor.
• The establishment of a College, devoted to

have-been—establishoditledialtolleges, Den

Secand only to those arts and institutions,
which guard life, liberty and happiness, arc
the arts of individual and notional progress,
and these, aided by all the light of modern
science, it is the peculiar and happy purpose
of the, Polytechnic College to leach.
48 a school of EMI:I ' I.MM NO alone, it claims
and we believe will receive, en extensive pat

as now followed, calls into constant requisition
an amount ofeolenne and skill which renders
his ono of tbo most difficult, responsible and
honourable of human pursuits. From the first
survey to theituccessful Completion of n rail

topography, but in geology, chethistry, hy
draulics and kindred natural Sciences constant
ly recur, and on their: true solution does the
fortunate termination of the work depend,—
Millions have been squandered through the ig
norance of miscalled engineers. how much
property has been destroyed, and how many
human lives jeopardized and sacrificed through
faulty construction of roads, tho statistics of
companies in this country may hint, but ales!
never reveal. In the skilful construction of
our great lines of intercommunication, very

" Schools of mines" are indispensable to the
preparation of en educated corps. of profess
ional miners, without which, mining operations
must be rather games of 'chance than tlidsure
results Of scientific foresight and direction.—
We think it may be assumed that more than
twenty-five per cent, of the whole amount on
nualfy expended in opening mines and buil
ding smelting furnaces, might be saved to the
country. if properly educated men in all cases
directed the enterprises. Nay more, we do not'
doubt that were the money squandered in one
year in ignorant experiments among the min

endow the new College more liberally. than any

The premises occupied by the now College,

the passenger depot of the Central Railrood,
have therefore the atmosphere of engineering
about them. "Ticket office" and "bar-room,"

November Cimrt,
The oases tri ed at tho November Sessions
being mostly of nn unimportant character, we
have not prepared a full report of them. The
case which elicited greatest interest was that
of the Commonwealth vs. Dr. Jacob Zitzer,
who was Indicted, first for the seduction of
Lucinda Marble—second for fornication. The
,trial occupied a day and n half, and great
ability and skill Was exhibited by counsel on
both sides. The jury found the defendant not
guilty, on the first count of the indictment, but
guilty on the second. Sentenced to ply $l5
and the costs of prosecution. Bonham, Mil
ler and Penrose for the prosecution—Watts
and Hepburn for the defenoo.
ADDRESS of Prof. 0. U. TIFFANY
Deliuersd at (he Opening of the Pennsylvania
l'emale College; Harrisburg, ,Sep(. 5111., 1853.
We are indebted to the author for a copy of
this address, which'we have read with great
pleasure and interest. It is an able and pol
ished production, replete with sound thought
and eloquent passages, and the entire address
is no less practical than ele_gant. A corres
pondent who was present upon the occasion of
its delivery, scuds us the subjoined communi
cation, which speaks at 'greater length and in
warm terms of the merits of the address. We
publish it with pleasure.
For the " herald 3'
Happening to be, in Harrisburg on the sth
of September lest, wo had the pleasure of
hearing the above address in actual delivery.
The occasion, orWhich it formed the principal
feature, was the opening of a Female College
at the capital of our State.
During the excitement attendant upon the
presence of a large audience, and the rhetori
cal effects of a good elocution, one has neither
the inclination nor the ability to pass a critical-,
judgment upon the matter, the method, or the
style of a literary composition. We surrender
ourselves to the influences of the moment.
We aro willing to be delighted, without inquir
ing into the rationale of the process. We
postpone the dry labor of "parsing our plea
sure" for another and less happy mood. We
hold in reserve, for some "blue iiletulSy," the
grim joy, of handling the analytical dissecting
knife.
The address lies before us, neatly done up
in a pamphlet of twenty pages. It is well
'Printed on good paper, and, bating a few ty
pographical errors, now speaks as perftctly to
the eye, as it formerly did to the ear. We
Clod, after having given it a careful perusal,
that it has lost but little by the abstraction of
the charm which a graceful and earnest deli
very lent to its contents. It reads almost as
well in the olosei as it road from the rostrum.
The selection of the tepid was in good taste,
and suited well the inaugural ceremonies of a
Female College. Tho subject-matter consists
of a wholesome body of doctrine, in reference
to the question of Female Education," enli
vened by some timely home,,thrusts at those
peripatetic philosophers in petticoats, who go
about the country holding 44 Women'titights
Conventions," and preaching themselves ; into
masoulino hoarieness upon the subject of
44 Woman's Wrongs." This part of the address
called forth, in tho Ilarrieburg *graph of
that following tveek, an article, of which the
main characteristic was a wiry . length. It
was found, upon being subjected to a careful
measurement, to have elongfited itself over
ffvo feet ono and three-filurths inches of the
columnar space of, an ordinary newspaper. It
counted about ono hundred lines to the foot,
and averaged a fraction over eight words to
the lino. As it lacked both goal and method
it possessed no inherent tendency towards
coming to an end. It reached n terminus by
breaking off for want of room,-,or out of sheer
exhanstion. By n proper economy, t,f material,
one might possibly have cat out of the paper
thus covered with printer's ,ink a full sized
• pattern of a Bleeder skirt.

cIILMESE FEMALE TIMILIIEOTIO2L—A female
insuireition occurred recently' at. the city of
Ningpo, In Chinn. It appears that large num
bers of women and chil/yen went to the houses
of the wealthy, dem(fitliisg food and money,
ond, when refused , t icy broke open_ doors,. anti
feir - eed_a_passage_through house walls. The
anthorities were only, able to quell the first
riot by a daily distribution of elms, which the
wealthy were obliged to provide at various
temples. Subsequently, a terfible scene occur
red in consequence of thesiitlistrifiblions.—
Through berme mismanagement on the pert of
the officers or distributors, the crowd, at one
temple became so great that not less than forty
persons Were trampled under foot, of whom
thirty five were either dead or dying N.hen re
lief arrived. At another temple a similar scene
took place at theta - me anie, but, fortunately,
no lives
,were lost. Inflamed by these disas.
tors, a Mob of excited men sacked the rest
denco of ono of the officers, and destroyed
everything it contained.
Tun Moran SUPERSEDED.—The English
papers speak of a new machine, the " Rotary
Digger," which threatens to supercedo the
plough as nn instrument of culture. Even
with six or eight horses it is said to be infinite•
ly cheaper and more effective than the plough.
The machine is the invention of Mr. Samuel
son, of the Britannia Works, -Banbury, and is
very simple in its , construction, according to a
wood cut representation which we have Seen.
It consists of a simple frame, running on a
couple of wheels, resembling an ordinary field
roller. The weight and traction combined, as
the apparatus is traversed over the land, caus
es a series of digging-forks, or prongs, to dig
into the earth, and thus, with five or six hor
ses, according to the state of the soil ander
operation, two men are enabled to work down
to something like eight or ten inches over a
width of three feet, thoroughly pulverizing the
soil, to the extent of five or six inches s o dig.
EmtanATtoN. 7 -The lowa Reporter says the
emigration
.into that• State, this year, is im
mense. The prairies of Illinois are lined with
cattle end wagons, pushing on fur this pros
perous State. The addition to the pepuistion
from September Ist to December Ist, from
emigration alone, is computed at 50,000.
A THOUSAND A. DAY.-TllO animal emigra
tion of foreigners to New York, is at the rate
of about a thousand a day. What country,
beside this, could receive'snch a daily occess•
ion of such a population, without its being
followed by revolution and disorder ? Yet this
is only what is received at one port.
llons—The Indianopolis Sentinel of the sth
inst., says that on Ft iday morning 1,5 car-luads
of live hogs left-that city via Indianapolis and
Bellefontalue, and New York and Erie rail-.
'roads, on their way to New- Yurk, where it is
expected 25,000 more will go within the next
sixty days.

ofithe murder of a runaway slave,--L.Two eth.
erg aro to ho tried for aiding in the murder,
Tali* frotn the' eviience, exceeded in barba
rity anything ever heard of, The Charleston
Courier. says that the murdered slave was a
runaway, whose owner was unknown; that the
demons in human shape, who murdered him,
first shot and whipped him--thou put him in a
vice and tortured.and lacerated him with un
exampled barbarities; next set him loose and
ran him down with blood hounds, and finally,
as was supposed, cut him up and fed the doge
with his flesh.
AMOUNT OF FOOD REQUIRED ox ANIMALS.—
Of hey an ox 'requires two per cent. a day Of
of his live weight. That is if the ox weighs
200 p lbs. he requireslolUß. of hay. if he is
working, ho wit take two and a half per cent.
A lunch. cow should have three per cent. as
she is proportionally lighter than the ex, and
port of the substance of her food goes to form
milk:. A fatting ox may_be fed fire.per cent.
at first four, and a half per cent. 'when half fat,
and afterwards four per cent. This is indepen
dent of other food. A grown sheep will -take
four and a third per cent. of its weight in hay,
to keep it in good store condition. Animals iu
a growifig state require most food, and it is
very poor economy to stint them. -
HOTITIIBLEI MUILDER OF A SLAVE.-A fiend
in human shape, named Thomas Motley, has
been convicted at Walterborough, S. C., for
the murder of a runaway•slave. It was proved
on the trial that be first shot the slave, wound
ing Lim severely, and then wyipped him; af
ter which, he put him in a vice, and subjected
him to the most excruciating torture. He
then set him Rose, started blowliMunds after
him, who ran hinqtrfi - wn, mangling him horri.

with his flesh. '

at the present day, devote all their talents to

diseases to which man is liable, and which may
