On Sunday, however, the fellow dressed himself in his best clothes and came boldly to the Summit, thinking, we presume, that he could not be arrested because it was Sunday. He was speedily undeceived in this opinion, for he no sooner made his appearance than he was arrested, and escorted to Ebens burg, and safely lodged in jail to await his trial at our next Court. We understand that the indignation of some of the citizers of the Summit was so great against him that it was with difficulty they were pre vented from laying violent hands on him.

Johnston recommends the 29th inst. to be set apart and observed as a day of Thanksgiving. The Gover nors of several other States have appointed the same day for the same purpuse, and we hope the people will duly observe this long established usage of our country. A PROCLAMATION. PEXXSYL VAX LI SS. In the name and by the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: by WILLIAM F. JOIIXStOX Gover nor of the said Commonwealth. A beneficent God has blessed pie of this Common- th health and abnnd- ance. 1 he neids nave yielded bountiful returns to the labors ot the husbandman. The enterprizes of the citizens in all branches of industry have been appropriately rewarded, Peace with all nations has been vouchsafed to the coun try. Civil and religious libert', under the institutions of free government, have been preserved inviolate, and the largest mea sure of earthly happiness, has been graci ously dispensed by an all-wise and merci ful Providence. These blessings demand our gratitude to Him in whose hands are the issues of life and death who controls and directs the affairs of man whose will is omnipo tent to save or destroy; and who mingles in the justice of His judgments, the attri butes of His mercy before whose power nations are exalted or cast down, and they call upon us as one people to unite in sol emn Thanksgiving in humble supplica tion, and praise to the Almighty Author of every good and perfect gift, for these his undeserved blessings to his weak and sin ful creatures. They require the profound reverence of penitent hearts, sensible of t'.e unworthiness of humanity and of the t. during mercy of a righteous God. Relieving these solemn truths; deeply nMpTesscu with the duty of devout adora tLn, and humble prayer; in compliance with a venerated custom, and the desires of the great oody of the people; I, Will iam F. Johnston, Governor of the Com monwealth cf Pennsylvania, do hereby appoint and designate, THURSDAY the t!FTnr: Election in New York Michi gan and Mississippi tock place rn Tues day last. At the late elections the dem ocrats have triumphed in seven States which gave Taylor a majority, and we have no doubt New York, Michigan and Mississsippi will follow suit. The Pacific Railroad. The editor of the Chicago Tribune, who was at the St. Louis Convention, has the following remarks, among others, upon letters addressed to the convention. Mr. Van Burcn"s Notwithstanding the convention postponed the reading of all letters, when Mr. Van Buren's was called for, the "outside pressure," was too great to resist, and the reading cf it, in connec tion with one or two others was ordered. Ms. Clay's. Is decidedly non-committal, and not much longer than the Cass letter to the Chicago Convention. He says "As to the project itself, the means of its execution and the termini of the road, I clonal 0rfontl 3iauu J 1 1 1 lil UlJLUIXillllllCUt Gen. Cass Is somewhat lonsrer than his Chicago letter, and not so long as the the one he wrote to Nicholson. He has avoided the extremes that characterized those productions. After freely endorsing0f Damascus. the oojects ot the convention, he savs he hopes its action "will insure the speedy completion of the work as soon as circum stances will permit. Mr. Calhouns Is very satisfactory. He advocates the measure in a short letter and in conclusion says, "I regard the work to be one of too great magnitude and im portance to be influenced by local or pri vate considerations." Further that "the work should look to the whole union, and the general commerce of both the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans." Gov. Seicards Fully endorses the scheme. I quote one paragraph: "When we look upon the full tide of European im migration beating upon our eastern shores, and consider the volume that is about to break upon the Pacific coast, the ultimate units of the races of men reveals itself to its, and we are irresislably . impressed with the conviction that that unity is to be j)erfected in our oicn country , and un der our Democratic Institutions. It is a letter worthy the philanthropic character of the distinguished Senator. John G. Palfrey s Covers three close ly written pages shows he regards the moral as well as the pecuniary character of the work. I quote: "It seems as if the good Providence, which has always had in its chaige the welfare of this nation, had by these seasonable inventions, (the engine and telegraph,) been providing securities against its greatest danger. No sooner, by the sudden expansion of our country, has the question arisen, hrm- so vast a ter ritory is to be kept united, by the light bonds of republican government, than it is solved by the railroad and the telegraph, which practically established the B relations of neighborhood between communities on the opposite shores of a continent.' Sorts of Paragraphs. riTThe Albany Knickerbocker pithily says: 'Three of the most expensive lux uries that nations can possibly indulge in, are "wars, base drums and heroes;' and in proof states that in England the Duke of Wellington since 1811, has received in military pay, bounties, grants, &c, about $14,000,000! or some 400,000 per year more than we pay Congress, Senate, President, and thirty-one State Governors. Why, that great sum would educate some 25,000 of the poor children of the English peasantry, and yet it is all spent on one man. iSP Among the pupils attending the lec tures of the Medical College recently opened at Syracuse, N. Y., are Mrs. Gleason, of the Glen Haven Water Cure, Mrs. Davis of Mt. Morris, and Miss Mary M. Taylor, of Buffalo. ESir Moses Montefiore has founded at Damascus a large hospital and two prima ry schools for indigent Jews, among whom he has also distributed 160,000 Turkish piastres, (about 40,000 francs. The Jews of Damascus, in order to testify their grat itude to Sir Moses Montefiore, for these acts of benevolence, have bestowed on him the title of Nassi, (Prince) of the Israelites FOREIGN NEWS.

They were arrested in Pittsburg by Constable Hague, on in formation of Patrick Regan, and brought to this place on Thursday last. Several counterfeit notes on the Ilarrisburg Bank and the State Bank of Ohio were found on the person of one of them. As their case will undergo a judicial investigation at our n?xt Court, we forbear making any com ments relative to their guilt or innocence. Separate and apart from their case, howev er, we may be permitted to remark that it is the very general opinion that a regularly organized band of men arc engaged in the j business of manufacturing and passing j counterfeit money. Their agents are dis- j tnbuted throughout the State, who have managed to put a large amount of their i spurious money into circulation. It is the opinion of Constable Hague that the plates from which these notes were struck are concealed cither in Blair or Huntingdon of 'general Thanksghing throughout the State, and I hereby recommend and earn estly invite all the good people of this Commonwealth to a sincere and prayerful observance of the same.

The objects of the meeting were to memorialize the Legisla ture to ask the Congress of the United States to favor the annexation of Canada. Party lines are now strongly drawn in that new territory. dThe Sunday ordinance at Norfolk, Va., imposes a fine of 85 for a barber sha ving on Sunday. EP'El Siglo, of the 22d ult., states that the late victory of Gen.

The hostile indians on the frontiers have received severe chastisement in sev eral encounters lately, from American guerilla parties in the service of Mexico. EiPGen.

A convention of the editors of various journals throughout the State assembles in Ilarrisburg to-day, in accordance with a resolution adoi.ted by the editors of the 17th Congressional District.

Sir John Franklin has been seen by a clairvoyant of Bolton, England. This discovery was issued several days before the vessel ar rived which brought the news which we have already given our readers of that unfortunate navigator. 1 he clairvoyant was uninstructed, and unable to read and write, but when asked to point to the place on the map where she had seen Sir John, she put her fingeron the north west side of Hudson's Bay. bhe says it is Sir John's expectation to be in England in nine and half months. There are three companies with him. Some cf his men are frozen in the snow, and parties of them are following on. She visited Sir John Ross' ships, and says they are frozen into the ice, and that he can't turn his ship lound. When asked to show where he was on the map, she pointed to Banke's Land. She expressed great as tonishment that clo cks varied so much be tween the points occupied by the two navigators, and said that a watchmaker should be sent to repair them. She des cribed the person of Sir John Franklin, and mentioned respectfully that he i was The account cf this mesmeric an I nouncement is autnenuc, anu uaumuy before the arrival of the vessel which brought the news, and occasioned much speculation, and has lost none of its inter est since it has ma measure been verified.

An outrage of the most flagitious charac ter, was committed on the person of a little girl of eleven years of age, the daughter of Mr. George Nagle, residing near the Sum mit, by a man named Meloy, on Saturday last. The little girl was passing through the woods on the way from her father's house to school, when she was met by this fiend in human dress, who dragged her off the road a short distance, where 'he horrible outrage was committed. As fonrt ns the fact became known warrant u'Thc last Lebanon Advertiser pre- i scuts the name of Jacob Weidel, Esq., of that county as a democratic candidate for State Treasurer. Mr. Weidel was the Cemocratic canuiuate lor :tate senator in that district in 1845, when he reduced the usual whig majority of six thousand to about seven hundred. He is highly rec ommended as a thorough and energetic business man, and a sound and ardent democrat. CP' All the speculations and comments ot the press both in England and America relative to a war between Russia and Turkey, turn out to be entirely gratuitous, and this prollic theme for leaders can no longer be used. By the late intelligence from Europe we learn that the Emperor of Russia fearful of the consequences, is disposed to pocket the affront of Turkey, and thus all the alarms about a European war have ended in 5inokc. Correspondence ot the N. Y. Tiibuno. The Nicaragua Dlspnte. Washington-, Oct. 25, 1819. You are aware that Mr. Rives, after he left this country, proceeded at once to England, instead of going to Paris and first nresentin? his credentials. The ob- iiect of this was to hold a free and full con versation, under instructions irom mis Government, with Lord Palmerston upon the subject of the claims set up by Great Britain to the exclusive navigation of the San Juan River, &c. The result of that interview has been communicated to this Government, and I have reason to believe thatit is of a nature as to leave little or no reasonable doubt of such an adjustment o the matter as will throw the Nicaragua route, open to all nations upon the same terms and footing. All real or imaginary apprehensions, therefore, as to a serious difficulty arising between the United States and ttngiana m tne nnai aujustment o this question, can at once be dissipated. CFKnOck-down arguments are often times productive of evil, as they become SO-FIST-lcal. Austrian Atrocities The Turkish Dif ficulty Riots in Ireland Xew Hun garian Constitution. Sackville, Nov. 3. The Hibernia arrived at Halifax last evening, after a rough passage. We are in receipt of dates from Paris up to the 18, and Liverpool to the 20th ult. The Hibernia brings 100 passengers, among whom is Mr. White and family, the American Consul at Hamburg. We learn that Richard Rush, the late Minister to France; Saunders, Minister to Spain; Sales, charge in Austria; and Flen niken, charge to Denmark left South ampton on the 25th ult., in the steamer Washington for New York. From Constantinople or St. Petersburg we have no additional information, and as yet have no. solution of the difficulty be tween the Porte and the Autocrat. The generalbelicf howeier, among well inform ed circles, is, that Russia will pocket the affront rather than provoke a collision with France and England. A correspondent, writing from Belgrade, 1st ult., states that the Hungarian refugees are still at Widden, ready to set out for any destination they may receive. Prince Alexander of Servia has behaved well to wards them, allowing them a free passage and provisions, through his territory. Bern, Dembinski, and others, had embraced Is lamism, and entered the Turkish Army. Austria. Haynau, in his administration of milita ry affairs, loses no opportunity to preserve the bloody epithet so universally applied to him. He has murdered, under guize of court martial, 13 Hungarian generals, who delivered themselves up at the end of the war. Count Bateyany, the prime minister of Hungary had been shot also. He was to have been hung, but his wife sent him a dagger, with which he cut his throat. He did not succeed however in committing suicide, and fell pierced by Austrian bullets. Several Hungarian officers, who were furnished with passports from Comorn, have passed through Berlin on their way to the west. Some are going to America. Kleppa was said to be among them, and had embraced the resolution of crossing the Atlantic, with a hundred others. Hungary is to be divided into ten dis tricts, each to have its own provincial council, yet deputies are to be chosen by a majority of the votes in the population. Italy. The accounts from Rome are the re verse from satisfactory. The return of the Pope is still talked about, but, when, is still a subject of conjecture. Garibaldi has left the island, Santa Madalina, for Gibralter, from whence he will sail for London, and ultimately proceed to Ameri ca. France. The news from France, England and Ireland is very unimportant. 1 he trials of the riotors of June 13th, are going on at Versailles, attended with much excitement Ireland.

It is also a singular fact that, in the P0 hsh revolution, Russia never required Aus tria or Prussia to render up the exiles that had taken refuge in those countries; and the peremptory bearing now assumed to wards the Porte is more preposterous and inexcusable. Every thing shows that the demand of the Czar was hasty and incon siderate.and that the general voice of Eu rope will call upon him to desist.

Jour, of Com. Cuba. The Democratic Review makes the fol lowing remarks upon Cuban affairs, and they are pregnant with meaning: 'Under the inflnence of annexation, the property of the Cubans would immediately equalize with that of similar property in the United States, and the sugar planters of Louisiana would find in the hitherto i ntDuched sail of Cuba, the means of underselling the world in sugar, while the capacity of Cuba to purchase and consume beef, ham, flour, and other supplies of the western States, would develope itself in an almost limitless degree.

The whigs made this the great question of the cam paign, and as Mr. Gamble is elected by an overwhelming majority, of course the peo ple have expressed their satisfaction with impression seems to be that a falling out out among them might afford a profitable lhe tariff as it is, and do not desire its des truction, or even any essential modification verification of the old proverb.
