Philadelphia, has been appointed by Gov.
Carlin Attorney General, in place of S. A.
Purvianoe, whose resignation we published
last week.

436.—We have received from the author a
copy of this work, the fourth edition of which
has just been published ; but we have not yet
bad an opportunity to read it, and if we had
. we should feel incompetent to write a critical
notice of it. Suffice ikto _say, that it has re
ceived the highest commendations from some
office most eminent literary mon in the coun
try,-•-Prof. Binding, as a native of the country
of which he writes, has brought to the task
not only a highly cultivated. mind, but an
ardent patriotism, which has made. it a "labor
of love" as well as of duty, and his work
opens an interesting field of research to those
who would study, the early history and char
acter of these old sea kings of the North, who
once controlled the destinies of England, and
even penetrated to this continent, centuries
before its discovery by Columbus.
Seizure of Arms at Manchester, Md
Amember of . the Duryuense Greys, writing
to the Pittsburgh Dispatch, from "Camp Ken
nedy," Baltimore county, on the evening of
June Ist, says:
"Hurrah for us. We have got forty-nine
muskets in our possession, which we seized nt
the Military Academy at Marichester, Carroll
county, Maryland. We started on our jour
ney Thursday evening at nine o'clock, A. M.
We were told the distance was about sixteen
miles, but fond that it was nearer twenty.
When about e* ht miles out we_met with a six
horse wagon, nd ,the men took turns at rid
ing; it was t oughest and .ugliest road I
ever was on We kept on, though, without
stopping, and arrived in sight of the village
at half-past three o'clock, A. M. The men
were rested - until daylight, when we marched
for the Academy., which we soon reached, and
were halted in front of the'bUiliiiiig. Caiifalia
Xennedy knocked at the door, and. asked for
the Printfipal, who came down dbortly. Cap
tain K. soon made him aware of the object of
his mission. The gentleman did not know
what to 00, but, after taking one or two looks
nt the array of talent drawn up before him, he
Concluded to give them up. The guns were
noon brought. out, and Capt. Kennedy wrote
a receipt for them, something after this fash
ion:
"'Taken from the Military, Academy, at
Manchester, by order of the United Slates
government, forty-nine muskets.'"
"Each man ebouldered. an extra musket,
and marched back to the wagon, where they
were deposited, and we started for the camp.
We arrived at the paper mills of Mr. Louck,
within eight miles from camp, at S A. M.,
where we sat down to a splendid breakfast,
kindlyfurnlshed.by Mr. Louck. After a short
rest we started. for camp, where we arrived
about 12, M., having travelled about forty
miles in fifty hours, without topping except
for breakfast. Captain K., Lieut. Coltart and
Several of the men walked all the way. -
THE GnEAT GUN ii UNION.”
For several months a force of mechanics
have been engaged at Fort Pitt Works, at
Pittsbuigh, in the casting of a great gun of
upwards of twenty:five tons, designed to be
mounted on Fortress Monroe. Being eOm
plated, the gun was transported on a massive
platform car, via the Central Pennsylvania
and Norther Central Railways, and reached
Bolton Depot o Sunday last, about noon. A
detachment of one dred men was despatch
ed by Col. Lewis from t• egiment to guard
the gun from injury. It was n to the
Camden station by a locomotive to
. warded to Washington city. The weight of
the gun is 52,005 pounds. The dimensions
are—length sixteen feet, in diameter two feet
screen the mouth, and four feet three inches
at, the end. The bore is one foot in diameter
and will accommodate a ball of the Minnie
style of six hundred pounds. It is what is
called a rifled gun: Major Knapp, ono of the
proprietors of the works, superintended its
transportation. _
GOV. ANDREW ON THE WAR
Gov. Andrew, of Mass., in a letter to Gen.
`Walbridge, New•Yorlc, approving the Genet--
stl'eliolicy of enlisting half a million of men
for the, war, says:
The day of compromise with treason has
irrevocably passed, and the day of absolute
victory shall be made to come if we fight
for a century. There is a perfect unanim
ity of sentiment in Massachusetts. Party
names and party creeds are utterly ignore('
and forgotten. The preservation of the Union,
the Support of the Government, and the em
phatic punishment and solemn extinction of
traitors are, the catholic religion of us
And it is a religion of-mercy. We have
always been impressed with -the wisdom of
Washington, who, when advised that five
-thousand men-would - suffice to quell Shay's
Rebellion, replied: " Tboir . 1 will send fifteen
thousandr There can be no mistake about
that.

MONDAY
A fight took'placo on Saturday morning, at
the village of Fairfax, which was quite a bril
liant affair. A body of United States cavalry
under Lieutenant Tompkins, accompanied by
three or four officers of the New York Fifth
regiment., ftB volunteers, while reconnoitering
in that direction, fell in with the pickets of
the rebels. After challenging them and driv
ing them back, they rushed at a charge thro'
the village, and were fired at from hotels,'
houses, and frotn behind fences as they pass
ed. Returning, they were met by three sev
eral detachments of the rebels, who had
turned out into the streets, one of them having
field piece. The cavalry cut , their way
through, killing twenty seven of the rebels,
and making prisoners of five. The United
States troops had only ono man killed, one
missing, and four wounded, among whom was
Lieutenant Tompkins himself.
Jeff Davis has arrived at Richmond, and
we learn from the Enquirer of that city, had
been well received. Ile was accompanied by
Wigfall and Toombs. Ho made the following
speech to the rebel soldiers:
"My friends and fellow citizens: I am
deeply 'impressed with the kindness of your
manifestation. I look upon you as the last
best hope of liberty, and in our liberty alone
is our constitutional government to be pre
served. Upon your strong right arm depends
the success of our country, and, in asserting
the birthright to which you were born, you
are to_remember that life and blood are noth
ing as compared to the great imtereets you
have at stake._ (Cheers.)
" It may be that you have not long been
trained, and that you have much to learn of
the art of war; hut I know that there beats
in the breasts of southern sons a determine
tiou never to surrender—a determination never
to go home but to tell a tale of lionicr. (Cries
of • never !' and applause.) Though great
may be the disparity of numbers, give us a
fair field and a free fight, and the southern
banner will float in triumph everywhere,—
(Cheers.) The country relies upon you. Upon
you rests the the hopes of our people; and I
have only to say, my friends, that to the last
breath of my lift I am wholly your own."—
(Tremendous cheers.)
A dispatch received Sunday night says that
the company of cavalry made another raid
upon Fairfax and recaptured their 'dolikades
who had been left there and were about to be
hung. Young Washington, one of the rebels
seized, has taken the oath of allegiance to the
United Stittes.
General Patterson has arrived at Charn

Three whaling vessels have been captured
and taken into New Orleans by the privateer
Calhoun.
The rebels nt Montgomery, Ala., are pre
paring to remove their capital to Richmond.
Skirmishes at the outposts of our forces in
Virginia either seem to be very frequent, or
e7some of the parties are busily engaged in
aggerating very trivial affairs.
A skirmish took place on the Potomac on
Saturday mdr.ing, inconsequence of another
attempt ../he rebels to seize the ferry boat
'yin_ 4)l:melte 41iamsport. A' company of
oyal volunteers at Williamsport fired upon
them, when a fight ensued, which lasted an
hour, in which several of the rebels were
wounded, and the boat remained in possessiim
of the loyal men.
The - rebel batteries at Aquia creek, Va.,
have been twice severely bombarded. In the
second action the depot blildings were des

lic.. A statesman who lately received for the
Chief Magistracy of the Union, a vote only
second to that by which the President was
elected, and who had every 'reason to look
forward to a long career of usefulness and
honor.
A patriot who defended with, equal zeal and
ability the Constitution as it came to us from
our fathers, and whose last mission upon earth
was that of rallying the people of his own
State of Illinois, as one man, around the
glorious flag of our Union, has been called
from the scene of life and the field of his
labor.
This Department, recognizing in the loss
one common to the whole country, and pro

We are right glad to learn that the gallant
Col. Kelly is not killed, as was stated by yes
terday's dispatches from Cincinnati.
The following dispatch received by the firm

The New Orleans gentry have been treated

steamer Brooklin has captured and, sent to
Key West the btirque A. J. Spearing, from
Bin de Jenerio, bound to New Orleans with a

Although Mr. Lincoln's most staunch and
able political opponent, ther:e has been that
degree of magnanimity in his attitude toward
the Administration, which itself bespoke him
•the possessor of a great mind; and when
Treason, began to exhibit its hostility to the
Government, in plundering mints end sub
treasuries, attacking the forts, arsenals and
navy-yards, when State after State withdrew
from the Union, and our little army and navy
was iq danger of being demoralized and' ha—
ken up, by the resignation and desertion of
mon who had been supported in ease and lux
ury, Mr. Douglas was not slow in declaiming
his condemnation of the rebels, and boldly
and manfully declared his intention of sup
porting the Administration even to the shed
ding of his heart's blood.
This was the character of the man the na
tion mourns to any, and Americans wilt Cher

The Wesleyan Missionary Society, recently
held their anniversary at Exeter
.Hall, Lon
don. Our former townsman, the Rev. Dr.
ArClintock, now in charge of the English
Chapel.a.t Paris, attended on that occasion, and
we take the following allusion to his speech,
from the New York Advocate :
DR. APCLINTOCK AT EXETER HALL.—The
London Watcpnan, in reviewing the great
AnniversarT:neeting of the Wesleyan Mis
sionary Society, of which ere gave some ac
count in our last issue, thus alludes to the
speech of Dr. hPClintock
"Americans will road how he maintained
the cause of his country before, an English
audience, and Englishmen will not despair of
the future of the great republic, if the con
test is to be ittii he puts it—as doubtless it was
a few months ego, and after some perilous and
ineffctual offers of compromise, it is becoming
again—one between free soil and the exten
sion of slave territory. Thal, at least, was
the original ground of the quarrel and cause
of secession; so that under no circumstances
can we symi athize with the South. Yet, while
Dr. M'Clintock was speaking, the news ar
rived, not only that the North and South were
calling forth militia and volunteers by the
hundred thousand against each other, but
that the border States, from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi, had at that crisis refused
send troops to the aid of President Linoci
and the Federal Government, „against IA
planting States. Whatever our honored frie
may have felt, he allowed qo shade of sad
nese or misgiving to appear in the presence
of Englishmen, though he knew that great
assembly, at any rate, could be relied on as
the friend of his country and 'of his Church.
The course he took was even More consummate:
ly skillful as it was strikingly bold ; and we
& er'tiefore saw Exeter Hall in - pleb a - tu
mult of acclamation. Alew wise and weigh
ty,words expressed by the chairman perfeote
the general impression, The response was
Asa such as became a great Methodist meet
ing, uttering in a moment of generous enthu-
siasm its true feeling toward the Free United
States."
We have received a letter from Dr. 111.Clin
took corroborating the above statement of the
good and true toeling on behayof our English
brethern toward the free s t ly4s of the North.
We cannot conceive hovii could be otherwise
with the wholsDritishMittion, than that there
should btu,erfettiimanitnity of sentiment in
favor orilie government in resisting the re

This was an-error. It has a sandy 'foundation
and the idea of axoTernment built. upon it
'when the storm came and the wind blew—
fell.' Our new goverinetl la founded _on ez?
actly opposite ideas; its foundations are laid,
its cornerstone rests upon the great truth that
the negro is not equal to the white man; that
slavery, subordination. to .the white race,, is "his
'ikaturaland moral condition. This, our new
goVnent, is the first in the history of the world
Las upog this great physical, philosophical and
moiattruth.".
Thus, according t0,11 . 1r._ Stephens, the en•
slavement of the African, and the porpetua
ation of that slavery, is the foundation and
the chief corner-Stone of the Southern Con
federacy, while all who adhere to. the Consti
tution 'Of the United States and unite in its
maintenance are denominated " insane fount
ice." It will be seen that the great point nt
issue between the North and Smith is freedom
and slavery.

DEPARTURE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS.—
On Thursday morning at 10 o'clock, our three
companies, under Captaitis Henderson, Todd
and M'Cartney, left this, for Camp Wayne, at
West Chester. The companies were not quite
foll,but will he soon rhised to the war stand
ard by new enlistmenft. --..
These companies are composed of The very
best men in our country, taken from every
avocation and pursuit, and, if in the fortunes
of war they are called upon to face the boasted
chivalry of the South, wo hope the elegant
and punctilious gentry of that region will not
complain of being pitted against the mer
cenary hirelings" of the North.
The Fencibles, just before leaiing, were
presented with an elegant satin flag, mounted
with gold fringe and tassels, having inscribed
on its folds, the motto t , May God Defend the
Right." The flag was a gift from Mrs. J. W.
HENDERSON.
As the companies were drawn up in line,
preparatory to embarking, the little girlifrom
several of our public schools appeared at Mr.
flmititros's door, with a neat little flag; hav
ing inscribed on it the words " God and our
country," which was presented with the fol
lowing address, which was repeated by Capt.
II ENDERAON : •
TO TILE VOLUNTEERS.
The girls of the Borough of Carlisle, desire
to express to you-on leaving your homes, -the
interest we feel in the successful issue of the
noble cause which you g.) forth to defend, at
the hazard of your health and lives. We have
no fears that your bravery and, courage will
fail to bear aloft the stars and stripes in the
hour of conflict, if you should be called to the
battle field.
tor-hestristres ,, of The young girls of your
own town go with you. Our hopes and pray
ers accompany you. May this cheer you
amidst the trials and privations of the soldier's
life. " None but the brave deserve the fair!"
Take this our little flag its a token of our best
wishes and these wreaths of flowers—we glee
them to you, our brave volunteers, 'in the ea-
Pectation that if an opportunity is afforded
afforded you, that on your return you will de
serve wreaths of laurel.
The train then moved off, the welkin rang
with oft-repeated cheers, and though tears of
anguish, unspeakable, were wrung front fond
mothers and loving wives, parting with their
best beloved, the universal feeling was that
no sacrifice was too great, to save our country
from the impious hands raised for its destruc
tion.
To our old comrades, we would say that
though a sense of duty impells us to remain at
our post here for a time, we hope yet to have
the pleasure of grasping each hand, and tak
ing o#Wronted place in the ranks. And now
through the hot tears that blot the page upon
which we write, we would say to each man a
hearty God speed, and may the blessing and
protection of the "Father of us all" over rest
and abide with you.
P,M0231 Cautten.—We learn that Dr.
11. NIL-Johnson has accepted the invitation of
the members of this church to become their
pastor as a temporary supply. The afternoon
service, during the summer, will commence at
6 o'clock.
UNION.— Take notice that the Union
Fire Company will meet at their hall on Thurs
day evening, June 13. A full attendance is
requested, as business of importance will be

TILE SUMNER RIFLE e .—A letter from
WILSON VENARD, a memb of Capt. Ilieus's
Sumner Rides, dated at C mp Longnecker,
Wednesday, June sth, says, "we are ordered
to leave hero to-morrow morning, for Chem
bersburg, to join Gen. PATTERSON'S command."
If this be true, the Sumner's will have an op
portunity to see their. numerous friends and
relatives, if only long enough to say good bye.

sick list.
FIRE.—On Thursday evening last, the
back-building of a small house in North St.,
belonging to , and occupied by a colored man
by the,name of Buchanan, was discovered to
be on fire. The alarm was given, and the
Unibn engine arriving promptly, soon suc
ceeded in extinguishing the flames, before
any material damage hid 'been done. The
rewas communicated from the stove pipe.
An accident occurred during the fire, by
which Wra__S.__Monyer,_the_piposman -of- the
Union, was thrown from the roof, his feet
catching on theiiose. His head was cut bad
ly, and his ankle sprained, but beyond that
ho is uninjared. ......... •
A DECIDED ZELL.—On Montj'ayinorn
log lust, the word being passed around that a
number of recruits from the 'Barracks were to
leave for NoW Merrieo, , , , end the large train
confirming the report, a number of our gen
tlemen ofieisure got on the ears at the depot,
with the intention of riding to ,the gee house,

and belongs to company I 18th regiment.—
He knows nothing of hew the accident oc•
curled; having gone to sleep on leaving Har
ris burg, and not waking until he found him

DRUMMED OUT.—The Court Martial
which sat at. Carlisle Barrocks some two weeks
ago, sentenced three deserters to be flogged,
branded, and drummed out of the service.
The sentence was executed on Tuesday last,
when they were tied up to the gun-carriages,
received thirty lashes, and were escorted out
of the garrison, in the presence of the entire
command, to the tune of the "rogue's march,"
Tarred and feathered .
And kicked to the Devil,
' Weeds° they were deserters."
HOUSE CLEANING. We once read
some advice to people 'about. tiiiiiVe';'perhapa
a slight alteration to suit the season may not
be inaplicnble at the present time. '
In the first place, dont 4' clean house." -
But if this advice comes too late, don't
keep the house in confusion a month, a week
is long enough to exist in chaos.
Don't undertake to " clean up" generally ;
if you do you will probably put your hus
band's best coat in the ragbag, and burn the
receipts along with the old newspapers, just
to get them out of the way.
Don't feed your household on cold beans
and lukewarm tea, or condemn them to sleep
in floor-beds, merely because you.happen-to
the " cleaning house."
Send your husband about his business
early in the morning, as ho will only be in
the way.
Even if you are a small woman, convince
every one that you are the director of affairs,
and if you hear anything • jingle, don't look
round until you have counted twenty. Be
resigned to whatever may happen, and re
member that as everything else e011:109 to an
end, so also does "cleaning house.!'_
THE FORT SUMPTER GARRISON AT
CIIASIBERSOUIIG. —Capt. Doubleday, with two
companies comprising the Fort Sumpter Gar
rison, passed through this place about 12 o'-
clock on Monday night last.
They are thoroughly recruited and are rea
dy and anxious for the fray. Depend upon it
a good account of them will bo given, when
the little affair at Harper's Ferry comes off.—
Late as was the hour, a large crowd had col
lected at the depot, who cheered vociferuosly
as the gallant 'band passed through. A full
park of artillery is now en route for Cham
bersburg.
A R6BItERY.—We understand that our
friend H, W. Kanaga, of the U. S. Hotel, Phil
adelphia, met with a serious loss last week,
by a clerk of the house, named John Brown
awell, who robbed the safe of four hundred
dollars in gold, belonging to Mr. Kanaga, and
several smaller sums belonging to other per
sons, amounting altogether, to over five bun
,dred'dollars. Brownawell was a young, man
of very preposessing appearance and pd
dress. He bad been with- Mr. Kanaga, for
some five-years, and had the confidence and
good will of every one connected with the
Hotel. It is much to be regretted that a
young man so efficient in his department,
should have yielded to the temptation, and
thus for a month's gratification, destroyed all
his prospects for a life time.
CAPTAIN EDWARD UNDERWOOD.—It
will be Been from the annexed article,taken
from the Humboldt (Cal.) Times, that our for.
mer townsman, Capt. EDWARD UNDERWOOD,
although far removed from the scene of re
bellion in our midst, is likely to witness some
pretty niarm brushes with the Indians. .The
people of the Hoopa Valley are fortunate in
having the services of so bravo and accom
plished an officer as Capt. Thinanwoon, in this
emergency.
Mr. John Chapman, mail carrier. between
Arcata and Weaverville, left Hoops Valley
early on Tuesday morning, the 801 h ultimo.
From him.we learn that an extensive plot has
been discovered among the Indians to make
war on the white, inhabitants, in consequence
of which families are preparing to leave—
those who remain in the valley are fortifying
their dwellings. A note from a gentleman in
the
Capt. rwood, commanding Fort Gas
ton, has den "ded the arms of the Indians—
coming in slowly, with evident reluctance—
much hostility evinced by the Indians. They
know their power and are prepared to use it
The greatest anxiety is felt for the safety of
families. .The,gornmand at Fort Gaston is not
large enough, although every man is on the
alert. There are at least oi.e thousand war
riors within twenty miles,—.opposed to them
but 00 soldiers and about 80 citizens. ;Every
thing looks like war and but for the high wa
ter no doubt a stand up fight weuld have come
-off-ere this. Indian canoes are hth away and
thO squaws are taking the 'grub' to the moun
tains. Without doubt there will be a big
struggle, for the Indians think titid'le their
last chance to whip the whites. This they,
say to us with determination.
"Capt. Underwood bee displayed great en-.
ergy and promptness. nod receives the heart
felt thanks of till. Ills little command will
give a_good account _AAA hems.eLv_esaf_______
comes to worse, and so will we all. If we
must 'go in' here, surrounded by hostile In
dians and cut off from all the world besides,
we will make iriCilarto - riette from.
There is a chain of guards stationed for a
half mile up and down the river in front of
the fort-000 Ul& La

DOLLAR JEWELRY.—"Anything you
choose for one dollar." This hcajing stares
you in tho face from many and
persons in the country are furnished with cir
culars by mail, and affectionate entreaties
just to send one dollar, and any article of
jewelry marked on that catalogue will be for
warded. In ordv to show ".bargain hunters,"
the secrets of this'" dollar jewelry," we extract
the following on "bogus jewelry," from a co-
temporary :
"The principal composition used in the
manufacture of the jewelry, is termed Oreide,
and is simply an excellent quality of brass. It.
is the most positive imitation of gold that has
ever been discovered; it wears like it—not
discoloring nnything it touches, as common
brass or copper will; it may be engraved or
chased—being the same all the way through;
it is much softer and more readily fused than
gold, however, and its value may be imagined
when we say that a dozen finely chased spoons
of this metal can ho bought for $4,60, with a
profit - tethe - retailer,-oven - at - that price, of
over thirty-three per cent.
Of this metal, the New York Scientific Amer
ican, most excellent authority, says:—
"Oreide or gold, of Which so many cheap
articles of jewelry are now madei,, is simply a
very beautiful brass, without a Ingle grain
of gold in its composition.
"The costliest part of the , Oreide' opera
tion is the molds and forms in 'which the jew-
elry is shaped and cut. Were they obliged
to have these melds made expressly at each
change of fashion, it would materially reduce
the profits; but they avoid this diffioulty by
purchasing the molds in which the jewelers
have made the real , gold jewelry. and thus also,
'obtain the 'latest patterns —Probably the mosy
expensive looking piece of this jewelry dodc
not cost for the metal," molding, putting to
gether and making up, forty cents.
