to them a'source of no little gratification
to find men of his own political persua-
sion making false and scandalous charges
against him. We speak of them as a
party, always willing and glad to applaud
individual exceptions. Gen. HALPINE,
familiarly known.; as " Miles O'Reilly,"
comes to the defence of Gen. GRANT in
the following true an'a forcible language:
It is altogether probable, só far as I cap
rum see, that The Citizen (meaning his own
paper) may be obliged to'opposothe election
of Gen. GRANT, in consequence of the plat
form upon which the Radicals are-endeavor
ing to plane - him ; but it is no part of the
Demooratie.crecilEas—it-was riaugh t -me- in
the old-time councils of Tammany Hall, to
fight with poisoned arrows. 'Let me, there
fore, after full examination, denounce all
these recent charges affecting Gen. GRANT'S
habits as utter and damnable lies,"
Gen. HALPINR is an avowed enemy
of the Republican..party ancl all its mea,
sures, and, therefore, his testimony upon
this.subject cannot be said to be influenc
ed by party prejudice. We do not pub
lish the remarks of " Miles O'Reilly" to
refute the absurd charge of intemperance'
which has been go industriously circu
lated 'of late, but simply as a rebuke to
those who would knowingly and, design
edly injure the character of a great Sol
-dier, " by= utter and degmable lies," for
the simide reason of gratifying a politi
cal animosity which has its origin in
their fear of his strength.

Casey, on returning .to Phillipsburg, was

him into tho.,crime of fraudulent. voting.—
Mrs. C'Meera testified. that 'slio made the

'Mr, O'Meara, an hinkeeper,. swears that his

'goes to show that some of the county offi

this plot. The fraudulent papers purport to

'Combining - all — grades- or 'schools - into - one

On the lowest plain:lof the argument lie
these general considerations.:
! The moral and material. interests of-the
Commonwealth afe inieparablo from each
other. Physical labor, to be-properly pre- .
ductive, must beguided by intelligence.
The brute 'tialy reaches his end - 14 untaught
instioet ; man, by instructed reason . ; end to
reach the highest point of utility, in nanny
departments of indust4,demands the largest .
scientific attainments and the best forms of
culture.- ' •.
Yet with these facts so_commodand so
obvibus before us, the other and strange fact
:stance - tlle the face, that wlthenrencunrege -
went and pecuiniary aid, a large part of the
citizens of any State would remain -entirely
uneducated. • The wisdiiin of the legislation,
'therefore, orthis Commonwealth has estab
lished the cot:ninon school in every neighbor
hood,,enci'fostere the system by the munifi
cent appropriatiog of nearly half a million
of dollars annually. ,Thwelements of emu
' mon education are thus made free to every
child in the State,
HL-In the highest departmenls of education,
the same necessity for aid exists as in the.
first steps. -It has accordingly been the poli
cy of this commonwealth, from - the - period
of her_olonial nistory' - to establish colleges
and foster their growth. For the last twenty
years; lipwevet, the State had made no appro
,priation to the aid of her colleges. These
institutions have been left to the beneficence
of _intliVicluals.„,-As - a consequence; they
have not been able to compete witn similar
institutions in other States where tegmlative
aid has been more liberal,
_ This State is.unprecedentediy rich in those
resources . which denuihd tile best scientific
knowledge to stimulate and ghide their pro
lier 'development. Labor is abundant, eapi ,
33t theurcorribiried - are
but halt 'productive. Treasures
-of- untold
extent lie buried 'for lack of the dde pro
portion-of educated-minds to ivield these in
strumentalities ; wealth that might .enrich
a nation lies in embryo, waiting theAiiiinh
oC;seience to give it vitality..
To meet thrse great and pressing wants
sieare, to day, dependent an foreigners, ch. *
on the colleges of other State -. Our young
men go abroad to seek that education which
is itidispabsible and w hieh 'ought t.l be fur

complete a State system of education that

that is herein asked .fur our. colleges. One
direct result of the measures herein proposed
would be to retain most of that money at
home, - and; in : ddit on, to draw to our uivrt,
college., a much larger patr.Onago from the
States to. be south and east of us. The
direct financial gain to tho Slate therefore,
would be many thousands of dollars over

! diverge frOM' any agreement on the sub
ject.
'This, perhaps, is attributable to several
causes. • WO have-not here,_asthey have in
older countries, confined our exertions to a
single operation. - In England and-Germany
very much of; their land is devoted to the
raising of beets, : turnips and root crops gen
erally, as food for cattle, only diversifying
their labors,to the extent rendered necessary
to lay,lca - propel< rotation and, therefove,:
they do not produce'gra' r enough in these•
countries for their own übsistanco: They
have - Escove - HEthatraising roatS and breed=
ineand feeding cattle and sheep,..produce
the most profitable results, and their atten;:
tion and skill aro directed to that object.
We have not arrived at such perfection in
agricultural calculations ns : to onable• us lo
depart from the regular routine of raising
everything of which our soil and climate are
capable. We are heard constantly to assert
that wo agnnotnogipetawith-the great West,
in raising - cattle and hugs and'hories, and
wo aro only thus engaged co far as is neces
-sary-to-supply our-own-wants. - The-whole
subject, in our opinion, resolves itself into
the exercise of our judgment as to what are
out: farm and'situations best adapied. If our
farm be-composed-of- meadow and upland,
and we be located near a town or. an eaten
side manufacturing people, there is nothing.
we nark- raise which- will produce half the
profit as that which we call "small market
ing"—butter, eggs; vegetables, fruits, ripe',
- dry and - preserved. Wo know of no busi
ness so profitableas this. And yet-if-our lot
is cast fuither off, tot/ far to afford the facil
ities of a daily Market, it equally behooves
Us to exercise our judgment as to what is the
next most profitable occupation'. In our
vicinity, we know that we are very much
dependent upon the growth of clover its - a'
grass. Our limestone,' unlike . that of the
: limestone laud of Kentucky, does not Seem
to be well adapted to the-growth of the green
,grasses and our slate land, lacks suffi
cient moisture in the,summer months; - we
cannot, therefore, ever hope to compete with
Alin West and Seuth-wesfin- raising hogs Mid
cattle, nor even horses; our attention must,
therefore, lafdirected to something elie: We
-conclude, then, that wheat; rye, - corn, oats,
and potatoes are the natural productions of
: ,our soil,-and to raising these we-must-give
our attention, and to this, let, nib add, far
, More- attention - than - we, have - been - ft: the
habit of giving: Look around you and count
the number, of good farms whose 'owners
stand,in: point of meads, just where they'
stood thfriy years ago, not-having added an
acre 10-their estate, and their improvements
no better than they ever were. This is at
tributable to careless, indifferent farming ;
because_ the.business is profitable if properly
pursued : like all other' effs'ployments; it re
goi. es ability, - energy ifful capital,"for you :
may, force the earth to produce by the lip:
plication of the-same-means employed by a
merchant, a manufacturer -r:, : „tneelutnierto.

the farmer he assured that the application
of capital in the shape of manures, addition
al labor, additional plowing, and more bar
rov•ing, will -pay, and doubly
,pay for all
that he commits to the'earth. ' That his seed
should be perfectly cleansed, and if neces
sary over and over again, and then washed,
all of which requires but little expense in
point of timennd labor ,y and which will as
certainly produce its good fruits as the clean-,
fag and-care of an animal will promote its
health and condition. Diseases aro inoc
ulated into seeds which cleansing and Wash
n will remove. There is_no more familiar
-instance - of - tits - theft - that of strut T adi6ease'
. 'with which any grain - may inoceulated ;-
corn, by the black excressanee which grows
upon its stock or cars ; barley or oats, by
their blackened head, and wheat by, its more
distinct - blackened — grain. The aintact of
either of : thesgOubstances with sound grain
will communicate the disease as certainly as
Striall-poN may tie communicated to the hu
man systeth : and experionco has shownthat
this contact may bo washed off: and the
farmer Wherdoes not wash it off, must trade
his misfortune of having smutty. wheat right
back to his own 'negligence. We have no
syMpathy for the farmer who han smutty
wheat. It was because he did not care abant
whether his seed was clean or -not, But
_ what we wish to impress - upon 'you Is, that
smut ..is_nOt the only disease that affeets
grain, and its growth. - - Arid:whilst we may_
. not venture to specify the many kindred

that there are a thousand others, which may

NORMAL SiitiooL.—A highly success
ful effort has been made at Huntingdon, Pa.,
to raise funds, by subscription, for the es
tablishment of a "Normal School" for the
Seventh distriet; composed of the counties
of Cumberland, Adam's, Franklin, Fultoh,
Bedford; Huntingdon and' Blair, under the
act of 20th May., 1857. The sum of nearly
thirty \ thousand dollaia has been subscribed.
If the State shows the same liberality tp this
institution that it has to others of the same
kind, the school will not. only bo a 4 "grand
success but an ornament to Huntingdon and
thq °Thor counties of this normal district. _
