CARLISLE, PA.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1855
LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
We learn from Washington this morn
ing. that no Fpeoh•er was elected yesterday. The
House adjourned after the seventh ballot. the
candidates standing nhnut ns on previous votes.
The result )43 altogether uncertain.
'Alartning reports of mit ?car in Kansas
are corning in. The Missourions were going
in by hundreds to the conflict. Goy. Shannon
had ordered out the also
elegrsphed to President Pierce for U. S
Troops to quell the strike.
THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE.
The season is just. at hand when news
,papers are most interesting awl when eve
ry body needs one. Congress has coin
nieneed its session and our' State Legisla
ture will convene next month . Theb
Proceedings are of importance to ever
citizen and should be regarded with in
Acrest by all. Another great Preside ntiai
contest is also approaching. State and Na
tional Conventions for the nominations of
candidates will soon be bold, and their
proceedings will be :if especial interest—
fur in this' free country where every man
has a vote the course of po.iticians and
parties should be closely looked., after.
Then there is thq,news from Eitrope, with
the exciting scenes 'of the great Russian
Wa'r, the end and the tremendous conse
quences of which cannot ho foreseen.
With such great events, transpiring at
home and abroad, who would be 'without
a newspaper? In addition to all this is
the weekly freight of general news, mis
cellaneous reading, poetry and tales,
which makes the newspaper a welcome
visitant to the family fireside. Besides
this 'a correct re mrt of the Carlisle and
City Markets every week, keeping the
Farmer advised of the rise or fail in pri
ces of ~rain, may be worth to him inti•
nitely more thee► the paltry amount of
subscription.
We appeal to our friends to aid in ex
tending the circulation of our paper
There is no man in the community. -how
ever poor, who cannot afford to. ipay oni
dollar and fifty cents a Dear for the //G
-rata. As a newsptiper it may be defi
cient in man respects, but- nevertheless
no one will deny that its fifty-two weekly
numbers afford full value for the sub
scription of every reader. While we shall
endeavor, anti me rolls on, to enhance
its value and interest, we earnestly urge
the co-operation of our friends in promo
ting its circulation. Let each one of our
country friend's exert himself to secure
us a new sulAcriber
AMERICAN HoTEL.—To our friends
visiting "Philadelphia we, can cordially
commend the American Hotel, on Chest
nut street, opposite the old State Ilouse,
as a very desirable Stopping place. Its
location is at a central and attractive
point, its management is of the best char—
acter, giving it all the comforts, luxurieg
and conveniencies of a first%lass Hotel,
and. its proprietors, with their, numerous
assistants, assiduous in their atPentions to
guests. IVe speak from recent and most,
pleasant cxpe'qence7OT - its comforff, - and
feel sure that our good opinion . veill be.
confirmed by all who
. payit a Visit.
CANT AFFORD IT INDEED
received a very touching story, oecupyin .
several pages of foolscap, front a corret
pondent who signs'hituself "Ciro," an
wl.io in aprivtrte note ntodestly suggest
that if the "effort"is considered worth
of publication_ he will charge us only
for it. He is kind enough also to int.
mate his willingness to "write a piece f
our paper every week." We arc coi
strained however, to, decline the offe ,
notwithstanding the cheapness o'f the art
cle. Ciro will excuse us.
' ME ETINGI OF CONGRESS.
The first session of the Thirty-fourth
Congress ei - uniqnced on Monday last, un
der peculiar circumstances. The Senate
contains a decided majority of the friends
of the administration, but in the House
of Representatives, containing 234 mem
bers, the clear democratic or administra
tion party dues not exceed 75 members.
But the anti-administration party, though
so powerful in numbers, are neither so fra
ternal or united as they ought to be, and
hence the difficulty of effecting an. organ- .
ization. The accounts from 'Washington
for several days past repreisent
excite
ment in reference to the election of Spear
ker as intense, and make it very, uncer
tain whether a harmonious union could
be effected between the Americans and
Republicans so as to elect a Speaker,
clerk and other officers in opposition to
the administration.
By the papers of yesterday we learn
as was feared, that no election of Speaker
was effected on Monday. Both - Houses
met at 12 o'clock. The Senate simply
organized, received the credentials of new
members and adjourned. In the house
225 members answered to `their names
and the balloting for Speaker immediatly
Alt meneed. After four balluttings with
out a choice the House adjourned. On
the first Mr. Richat dson, dem. of Illinois,
h a d 74 vot e s ; Mr. Fuller, American, of
Mi. 17 ; Mr. Campbell ; of Ohio Repub.
53 ; Mr. Penington of N. J. American,
7 ; Mr. Marskall. of Ky. American, 30;
and Mr. Banks, of Mass. Rep üblican,
21, with a number of scattering votes.
On the last ballot- , Mr. Campbell run up
to 57, Mr. Banks to 22, while the vote of
Messrs. Fuller, Marshall and Pennington
remained teitiefore and Mr. Richardson's
vote fell to 72. The following despatch
es appear in yesterday's papers and give
the latest intelligence we have :
WAsittxuroN, Deo. 3.--There is a gond deal
of caucussing going on to night. It iegen
erally understood that the Republicans and
Free-Soilers will concentrate to-morrow
on Mr Batiks, of Massachusetts. numbering
together 123, and being sufficient to elect ;
The caucus of Southern Know Nothings and
National Democrats and IVhigs. numbering 73
resolved to reject all fusion with the Free Oil
factions, but have no hopes of defeating them.
Greeley, 11 cod and Seward have been work
ing day to fuse the factions, and are un
det stood to have succeeded tonight. We may
therefore look for an organization to-mrrrow,
and the message on Wednesday.
[st;coND DEsrArcu]
•
WAsnlNciros, Dec. 3, 10, I'. Nl.—The
tional Americans will to morrow vote for
ry M. Fuller for Speaker. and endeavor to
draw the entire Democratic tote to him, by
conceding to them the Clerk and Printer s thus
forming a 1111i , 111 party against the Free•soil
factions. They deny that the Republican.'
can, by a fusinti. poll more than 105 .-totes,
while 113 iv necessary to elect
The President persists in refusing to print
the message, and it will ho sent to the two
Houses in writing.
• THE — PRESEDEricY.—The candidates
for the next President arc beginning to
he freely canvassed in the papers. The
New York Herald, of a late date, states
upon what it regards as reliable authori
tv, that Gov. WISE, of Virginia, has re
cently written a letter to ti friend in
Philadelphia, withdrawing his claims to
the Democratic nomination in. favor of
r fAmEs 131:cllmstAN.. nov. Cobb, of
(4eorgia, an influential member of the
party South, has also come out in favor
of Buchanan. Of the delegates to the
next 4th of March Pennsylvania Loeof
co Convention, Buchanan is said to have
\llO to Dallas' 20. thus far. According
to this the vote of Pennsylvania will go
solid for I?uchatiab in . the Locofoco Na-
clonal Convention, and that may influence
other States to fall into his support.
President Pierce is presumed to be active
to procure a re-nomination, and if the
two-thirds rule prevails, he and Dallas
may det?l,,4:l34ll ° 'clianan in the end.
MEE
MissOunt SFNAToas.—The contest
for U. S. Senator in Missouri seems like
ly to end in a coalition of the Benton
democrats and the whip, by which eaeli
will have a Senator, as two vacancies will
soon happen. The anti-Bentonites want
Mr. Atchison elected, and they seem wil
ling also to unite with the whigs; but
ktelkit , ‹ is More 'objectionable to that
party than Benton. Colonel ,Doniphan,
who distinguished himself in the Mexi
can war, will be the Whig candidate.

AMERICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION
The President of the American Na
tional Council has issued 'a call for the
election of delegates by Congressional
districts, to the National Convention of
that party which is to assemble in Philal
delphia in February, to nominate candi
dates for President and Vice President.
Another proclamation to the same order
gives notice to the State Councils rind
delegates to the National Council that
there will be a special meeting of said
Councils, at Philadelphia, on Monday,
the 18th of February for the transaction
of sucli business as may be brought be
fore it.
SECTIONAL SKIRMISHING
Massachusetts last winter passed what
was called "a personal liberty bill," the
practical effect of which is to nullify the
fugitive slave law and prevent the recla
mation of runaway slaves. The Legisla
ture of Georgia has now under considera
tion a retaliator!' law. The bill, after
premising that the citizens of the State
of Georgia have: been wronged and in
jured in their property by the failure of
certain States to comply with the terms
of the fugitive Slave law, provides that
whenever a slave shall escape from service,
or he carried into another State, and upon
demand beitr- made fur the rendition of
sueh slave upon the Governor of said
State, by the owner of said fugitive, the
slave shall not have been delivered up at
the expiration of thirty days following the
making of such demand. then each and
every citizen and body corporate of said
State to which such fugitive may have
escaped, shall be deemed bound as debtors
to the owners of such shire to the • full
amount of said slave's value. That is, if
a slave escapes to Pennsylvania, for in
stance, and is not returne l by - the au
thorities of the State, then if any proper
ty can be found in the State of Georgia
belonging to a Pennsylvanian, it shall be
seized for the 'Value of the negro I This
is a pretty- strong atten!pt at retaliation,
but if the law passes we suspect there
wont be much investment of Northern
capital in Georgia manufactures or other
business.
Goob RuuDANoE.—Senator Toombs
and Hon. A. H. Stephens,"4 Georgia,
have formally gohe over to the Locofoeo
Marty, and at a recent public meeting in
that State announced their .adhesion to
that organization. This is a good rid
thence. For a number of years past their
highest ambition was to be leaders of the
tire-caters,of the South. They warred
against Henry Gay because he was nut
ultra enough on the slavery question torl
suit their notions They opposed Gen.
Taylor, for the same reason., and did all
, .
they could against Scott in the lasrrrest
dential campaign. The American party
of GeOrgia and the whole country, may
congratulate itself on getting rid of these
everlasting blusterers.
)2EO_ The New York Evening Post says
a very careful counting of noses in the
next Congress gives a majority of sixteen
in favor of admitting, Governor Reeder
as the representative from the territory of
Kansas in that. body, and against the ad
mis-ion of Whitfield, who brings the
eertiticke' of \ Gov. Shannon. This in
cludes no vote of any Southern State, nor
does it include the vote of Valk, Kelly,
or Havens, of New York, who will proba
-bly-vote-aßtinst-tho-admission_of—either
eandidke.
WISCONSIN ELECTION.- 1 4{01111IS have
now been received from all the• counties
in the State, except two thinly-populated
ones - , and the vote for Governor, stated
by the aggregation of majorities, may be
given thus :—For Bashford, Republican,
8969'; for ilartstow, - Democrat, 8097:
This renders it pretty certain that Bash_
fordis elected. .•
INVLUENCE OF EDLICATION,—During the
yenr.-18154 one hundh•ed and sixty•fico men
y/C.ro'iMeg in the United States for murder.—
Of this number only seven could read and
write. What a lesson:
E.rotnit [nth (founts) Miatters.
SECOND LECTURE.—The second lec
ture of the Union Fire Companfs course will
be delivered to-morrow evening by William
11. Welch, Esq., of York, who was elected to
the Senate from that district at the last elect
tion. Mr. Welsh is reputed to be a gentleman
of fine talents end literary taste from whom
we may expect an interesting lecture.
INTERESTING LECTURE.---Rev Dr.
Bettelheimer, n Hungarian clergyman, who
has been laboring for several years past as a
missionary in the boo Choo Islands under the'
government of Japan, will deliver an address
in the First Presbyterian church on Friday
evening which the public is invited to attend.
THE NEW HOTEL.—The Democrat
iy/reviving the new Hotel project and proposes
that it shall be erected by a joint stock associ
ation. That n new first class Hotel is needed
in our borough is universally admitted, and
that it would pay handsomely is not doubted.
We have urged the project frequently in our
columns and reel disposed to persevere uril
like the water and gas enterprise its realiza
tion is a fixed fact. We therefore second our
neighbor's suggestion. It would be well for
those who have the project in .view to remem
ber that property is rapidly rising in value,
and that in a year or two more it will not be
possible to procure an eligible site for a Hotel
for any thing like the amount at which good
locations now rate. Let the matter be taken
hold of lu earnest and without further de
lay.
TILE GAs WoßKs.—The new gas
Works in the Eastern-section of the borough
are rapidly progressing to completion. 31-r.
Craft. of Philadelphia, the contractor for the
Gasometer, arrived in town last week with a
number of workmen,es•ho are now industrious
ly engaged on the work. The other buildings
and machinery- are also being pushed forward
with energy. and the probability is that all
will be ready for the manufacture of gas enrl
in January. The works it is admitted, will
be of the very best character. As the burning
of gas will undoubtedly be good economy, our
citizens should hasten the introduction of the
pipes and fixtures into their dwellings.
NEW N. E. eIIURCIL—We learn that
the members of the Second M. E. Church,
now worshipping in the College Chapel, have
purchased a spacious lot at the corner of Porn
fret and %Vest streetil with the slew of erect
ing a new church edifice. It will probably
be commenced next spring and we presume
will be built in a style that will render it a
fine architectural embellishment to the town
FIRE.—The dwelling house of Mr.
Benjamin Hosier, of North Middleton town
ship, we are sorry to learn, was burned down
on Thursday idea Inst. We learn that the fire
originated from it stove pipe after the family
had been in bed for some time. The house
was enveloped in flames before, thhy were
aware of their danger and they made their
escape with some difficulty. None of the
furniture we believe was saved. We aro not
informed whether there was nny insurance or
-not, •
THE COUNTY TO PAY.—The suit in
stituted by Thos Symington, the contractor
for furnishing sandstone for the new jail, was
decided in hie favor nt the last Court, though ,
•
for not so large an amount as he F criqumed
ThetticoMmissioners had rc'erved 20 per cent
on the anrount of his contract, alleging that
he had not delivered the stone with the prothp
titude that his agreement called for. lie
proved it,,j defence that the delay was caused
by the miscalculations of the architect, and
the jury accordingly rendered a verdict in his
favor for s7oo—it3oo less than he.claimed.
NIGHT SCHOOL.-Mr. IsaWi Baker
proposes opening a night school for young
Men, and requests all who are de:tin - Vim of
joining it to meet him for that purpose at
Marion 1101, next Friday evening. Mr.
Baker is a gentleman of good character nod
qualifications and tliose young men who arc
:de:barred fronTtlie umunt - Means - of. education
would do well to avail themselves of his pro
position.
NEW BRIDGE.—A new county bridge
has just been completed over the Canedoguinet
Creek at James Orr's, in Hampden township,
which the viewers appointed by the Court
report- to be built in a substantial and work
manlike manner, much to the credit of the
undertaker, Mr. jinnly.
STEAM SAW MILL.—The Steam Saw
Mill tind_ largo body,of timber land advertised
for sale by W. p. Seymour, dffors great in
(1110mi-tents to any one desiring to enter into
that business:
Tho . weather has been truly beautiful

INSTITUTE.—The 4t-nnber
land County Teachers Instituie will meet at
Mechanicsburg, on Tuesday tii,e 25th inst. It
is expected there will bo an attenatmce of se
veral hundred teacheis and othu•s, and the oo-
elision promises to be one of great interest to
the friends of education. We
_understitnd
that Gov. Pollock has accepted au invitation
to be present, accompanied by the Deputy
Superintendant of common school-, on the
26th, when,he will deliver en add , , s ts. The
interest which Gov. Pollock nutnitc ti in the
school system, the amount of time and labor
which he- devotes to visiting the schools • in
curious places, delivering addresses and enter
ing into familiar intercourse with teachers and
pupils, is a 'source of great encouragement to
teachers and is warmly appreciated by the
community'
