MERRY CHRISTMAS!—Monday was "a pet day," so bright and beautiful that its ger ial air seemed a special gift to heighten the joyousness of the festival. Our streets were vocal with the shouts of merry young - 7 stern, while we regret to say also that the day was .marred by not a few scenes of drunkenness and disorder.. Family gather ings and luxurious feasts' *ere of Course the Order of the day. 'There were also several demonstrations and - exhibitions of a public kind. At our newly opened "Old Drury,'' (for our progessive borough boasts of a Madre just now) there was an afternoon and evening exhibition. At the Garrison the soldiers partook of a grand dinner and in the evening made a brilliant illumination of their quarters. In the evening an interest ing exhibition by the pupils of the Sunday School of the Lutheran Church took place. A large audience was in attendance and the youthful speakers acquitted-themselves-with great credit. Thus another happy Christmas has vanished into the past, but many a future hour will be gladdened by its joyous memories MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT HARRISBURG. —Arrangements have been made by the "Musical Union" of Harrisburg for a Mcsu:At. FESTIVAL, to come off in that place early in next month. The success of the first "Con vention" at Harrisburg, held iu the fall of '53, far exceeded the anticipations of its projectors, and many ladies and gentlemen of o \t( . borough will recall waft: plenittiillie entertaituttents of that occasiou—tbe pleas ing and instructive lectures of Professors Johnson and Frost, and the charming voice of Miss Smith, who assisted them. We learn that Professors. J. and F., with Miss Smith, will again be present, and they have added to their company Miss S. E. Whitehouse, a vocalist commended in the highest terms by the eastern papers. In addition to the musical talent of Har risburg, it is expected that Carlisle, Lancas ter, York, Gettysburg, Chambersburg, and all our neighbor cities and. towns will be well represented. The committee extend a cor dial invitation to all lovers of song, and we trust that our town will send a goodly num ber of fine voices to add to the enjoyment of the Festival. The meetings will commence on Tuesday, the ninth of January, and continue about one week, in the course of which several public performances will be given. ScnooL CONVENTION.—A convention composed of School Directors, Teachers and others from the various districts of the county, was held in our borough last week, continuing from Thursday to Saturday. The attendance was large from the country dis tricts, but a good deal of disappointment . was felt at the lack Of interest manifested by the great body of our citizens in the proceed ings. We regretted this, as the various ad dresses, discussions and illustrations of modes of teaching, &c., were exceedingly interest ing and instructive. During the sessions of the convention addresses were delivered by_ T. H. Bunnows, Esq., of Lati'easter, editor of the "School Journal," President CoLLINs, of Dickinson College, Mr. SHELLY, the County Superintendent, and others. No reL port has been furnished us, but we hope some sketch of the proceedings will be prepared for publication. . The friends of Common Schools have reason to congratulate themselves upon the judicious selection of a Buperintendant of Common Schools for this county. - Since the election of Mr. SHELL; new life,and energy has been infused into the School system of this county. Careful examinations of the qualifications of teachers are now made, the schools are regularly visited by the Superin tendaut; and a harmonious and active co operation of Directors and Teachers secured which cannot fail to work good results. Al ready the tenehers of. the county feel, and re joice in the new interest which has been awakened. ,The apprehensions which ~,;ere felt by many in relation to the new otligof County Superintendent are entirely dispelled, latipt hut fly c frrinilii eirrit.

UNEON LBCTURES.—The third of -- The Union Fire Company's course was delivered on Thursday evening last before a large au-, dience by LEMUEL. Tom), Esq. Subject—" Our Age." We were unable to be present, but learn that the lecture • was tnost eloquent. and interesting, securing the fixed :Men• tion of those 'who, heard it. The next lec ture will be delivered by the Rev. Jons McChni-rocx. We have not learned the subject. •! • SAVANNAH DEBATING SOCIETY.— Monday Evening, Dec, 18th, 185-1- The sub ject adopted at the-last meeting, as the ques tion for debate. this evening, viz: "That the annexation of territory is averse to the best interests of the Union," was taken up and discussed. John Lee and Dr. Win. G. My ers appeared in the Affirmative, and Geo. W. Leidigh. and Jas. Lee in the Negative. The decision of the Judges was given in favor Rf the Affirmative. On motion of Emanuel Line, the follow ing was adopted for 'discussion, viz: "Re solved, That a law prohibiting the manufac ture and sale of spirituous liquors, ara - bev: crage, would be detrimental to the agricul tural interests of the corn Mon wealth." Messrs. Thomas bee, jr., John Fishburn, jr., and John Scoby, were appointed Judges by the President, to decide upon the above subject. Society adjourned to-meet Monday Evening 25th inst.

They are, that the Five Powers shall be a joint protectorate for the Christian popula tion of Turkey, and over the Principalities, subject to existing Russian treaties; the Tree navigation of the Danube shall he conceded, and the revision of the treaty of 1811. As regards Prussia, it is stated that the King has determined to unite in the treaty with. the allies above noticed, with a view to bring the war to h close. It is added, that his recent speech to the Chambers announced that the Prussian army shall be at once made ready_for mar-- Most of—the smaller_ StatZwitif Germany are doing the same; and in the Germanic Diet Austria insists that her north-eastern frontiers are sufficiently threatened to warrant an- immediate support from the federal troops. At Sebastopol there has been more fighting, in consequence of sorties from the garrison, but affairs remain unchanged. The French camp was attacked on the 14th of November, but the Russians were repulsed. The Frencli - troops in Greece I have been ordered to the Crimea. The allk.d. army is- to be increased by the addition of 36,000 French. In Spain the Chiiinbers have decided to support the present dynasty. The Ministry had resigned, but resumed (Alec again. Mr. Soule had arrived at-Mad rid. The Danish Ministry have resigned. There is no news whatever of importance from the seat oC war. Frequent- sorties are recorded, and the Russians were generally repulsed without much damage on either side. The allies were continually receiving reinforcements, and were mainly engaged in strengthening their positions. • The main interest of the news is centered n the negotiations, which had become com plicated, and of vast importance. lIIII=II t 4 .Miss Bunkley has a card in the Nor folk-News, in which she intimates that she will soon publish a letter in reply to the .statement of the " Mother Superior, of St. Joseph's," touching her esead,l from Em mittsburg. Speaking of the later of the Mother Superior, Miss Bunkley stvs.,: "This . relter. is,conched in such terms and has such apparent air of charity 'and truthfulness, that it wopld not be .wonderful if. it were generally credited. Let it be so for the present,- -but- the American public will shortly have an opportunity of judging between us, and Ido not fear the result of their verdict, when the whole truth is made known, notwithstanding the unfair means by which it has been attempted to be fore stalled."

SEVASTOPOL.—AS there seems to be some doubt as to the correct pronunciation of Se vastopol, we'would inform the curious that according to the Penny 'Cyclopedia, and - its decision is adopted by other authorities, the right pronunciation is Se-vasto-pol, the ac cent being on the antelaniultimatc, and the final syllable pronounced as if it were writ- ten plc, and notpo/.
