It is not very long since public curiosity was excited by the discovery of the California Ballot Box Attention was attracted by the accounts of its ingenious construction, and its extraordinary capacity to elect anybody, des pite of the popular will. At the time of its discovery, it was considered to be the ne jJtts ultra of electioneering devices. We are hap py to inform the natives that it has been bea ten several spots, in a rural district in Cam bria county. A few plain, unsophisticated rustics in Richland township have thrown the California box, and all ether boxes far into tho shade. They have invented the Peripa tetic ballot, box, which w&.s applied with sur prising effect at the recent Presidential elec tion. Nothing can exceed the simplicity of its construction. A wooden Box, plain, and of whatever size may be necessary, is put into the bands of a Know-Nothing election officer : the machine is then ready, and is started off at a sort of a jog trot through the woods, "over the hills and faraway." It will run on until stopped by the operators, who can control its movements entirely at will. An astonishing number of votes can be gathered up by this simple machinery, and no expense is necessary, except a few drinks occasionally to lubricate the passage. The Peripatetic box has not yot been paten ted, but this will doubtless soon be attended to. A yankee friend of ours, who is great on ,l fixing." has his eye upon it; he says it works "darned Slick." Tho friends of tho late Mr. Fremont regret much that the box was not discovered and brought into general use at an earlier period. They are persuaded, that through its assis tance, the lamented John Charles might have made the landing An opinion in which all practical men will coincide. Tanneries. In our cursory notice of Washington town ship, last week, we inadvertantly neglected to mention the large Cambria Tannery of Messrs George and lteusch, where more leather is turned out, and first rate leather too, than at any other establishment west of the mountains, unless it may be the Quitman Tannery of Sheriff Murray in Cambria town ship. The manufacture of Leather is looking up in our county. There is every inducement for capitalists to invest in that business. Wa ter is advantageous and abundant, and bark is unlimited, and can be had in any quantity at about 2,00 per cord. Our county being traversed in every direction by railroads, plauk roads, turnpikes, the facilities for ship ping to the eastern and western Markets are unrivalled. We confidently look forward to the day when our mountains will be dotted over with tanneries, and our population will realize the soul stirring truth that "there-is ncthing like Leather." Cambria County on Sectionalism. The vote in our county against sectionalism and Abolitionism, is most gratifying. It is as follows : Buchanan, 2987 Fillmore's (Union) 861 Straights, 107 3055 804 3151 Abolition Fremont It is thus seen that out of 4759 votes cast in Cambria, but S04 Sectional votes, leaving a majority in the county of S151 votes against Sectionalism and nigger worshipping aboli tionism. This evidence of the strength of the Union sentiments in our county is cheer ing, that isms is laid out forever in Cambria. Loop Gift Enterprise. Our enterprising friend Henry Harbcr, of St Augustine, announces by handbills, a list of Gifts which will be disposed of at the most favorable terms. It is a first rate chance to get a profitable return from small invest ments. He has also a million of drinks which will be disposed of at abcut a half-a-dime each, or " at a much lower figure when taken by the thousand. The drinks are composed of the most popular fluids of the day, and will be warranted to give eathfaction Henry is worthy of patronage. He is determined that bis friends shall have a chance, and the best thing that they can do, will be to reciprocate. Vexisgn ! Blair was last week regaling his boarders on fresh Venison.

It affords us pleasure in giving place to the subjoined communication, relative to the se lection of Speaker of the House of Represen tatives. The Democracy ot Cambria, " the Star of the West," will esteem the election of their Representative as a favor to be reniein Dcred : From the Pittsburg Post. Beaver, Nov. 27. 285G. Messrs Editors ; I see by a number of our eastern papers that Captain G Nelson Smith, of Cambria, will be strongly supported at the approaching session of our State Legis lature as Speaker of the House of Represen tatives, and I here boldly assert that no better selection could be made. I have had the plea sure of the Captaiu's acquaintance for many years have watched closely his course as a politician as an Editor as a Legislator as a Democrat, and I am free to say his record is as clear and pure as the breeze which wafts over his Allegheny home. Cautious, affable and gentlemanly in his deportment, impartial and fearless in the dis charge of his duties, possessing a strong mind, well cultivated and richly stored with all the necessary qualification for the Speakership, the Democracy of the House could fiod none better able to preside over their deliberations. "Little Cambria," too, with her twelve hundred Democratic majority, is clearly enti tled to some consideration, and here is a chance for the "assembled wisdom" to re ward her devotion to the glorious cause by the election of one of her champions. BEAVER. The Humors of Falconbridge. We have been favored with a sample sheet of the above work, issued from the popular house of T. B. Peterson, No. 102, Chestnut street Philadelphia. From the very many notices the work has received from the press generally, it is a sure guarantee of its worth and will meet with a ready a!o Wc tasc pleasure in publishing the following notice of the work taken from the Philadelphia Ledger: The IIumorr op " Falcoxb!iidue," T. B. Peterson is about to issue the humorous writings of Jonathan F. Kelley, better known as 44 Falconbrlige," recently one of the most popular and genial contributors to the maga zines and newspapers in the country. They are to be published for the purpose of creating a fund for his widow and children's support. They will be issued in a beautiful style. Price 1. Ix Lock. We were male a preseut cf a prime turkey on last Saturda-, by our young friend Philip S.

We promise to do full justice to the turkey. Court. Our next Court promises to le one of unusual interest. A great many cases are on the list for trial, which will bring quite a throng to the county seat, and many who arc our subscribers, whom wc expect to call on us and settle their subscription. Sale of Valuable Property. We neg lected to notice in our last issue, that our young friend Howard J. Roberts, offers his beautiful residence for sale on reasonable terms. The property is situated on the Plauk Road immediately orposite the residence of Col. Wm. K. Piper, it has all the conveni ences that could be desired, for a private res idence Any persons wishing to purchase a residence of the kind can have a bargain by calling on Howard, as he is determined to iro up Salt River on the first boat. Lager Bier! It gives us pleasure to announce, that this grand conservative element, will be furnished to patriots generally, by Gottlieb Halm, at the Ca Munixus Head Quarters, on Horner Street. He receives it from the celebrated 44 Action Brauerei" of A. Vowinkle & Co , in Altoona: Come on : " Das Jahr isl gut, braun Bier itt gerathen." Tender of Independence Hall At a meeting of the City Councils of Philadelphia on Thursday last, a resolution passed both branches tendering the use of Independence Hall to the Hon. James Buchanan, "Presi dent elect of the United States," for the re ception of his friends, on tho occasion of his visiting Philadelphia It will be recollected that a resolution tendering the Hall to Mr. Buchanan on his return home in April last was voted down by the then Know Nothing Councils. Death of Senator Clayton. The tele graph states, that Hon. John M. Clayton, United States Senator from Delaware, died at Dover, on last Sunday evening, at seven o' clock. Mr. Clayton was Secretary of State under Gen. Taylor, and had served nearly twenty years in the United States Senate. He was an able conservative Statesman, and held a high position both at home and abroad, am ong the leading men of this country lie must have been near seventy years of age. General Cass. Not only, says the Cleve land riiindeahr, the entire Democratic par ty, but thousands of others in the Middle and Southern States, will be grieved when they ascertain that the result in Michigan will de prive the United States Senate of the acknowl edged wisdom and sound experience of the illustrious Cass. But go where he will be his fortune what it may the veteran states man will ever enjoy the high regards of his countrymen. A sox of Hon J. C. Breckinridge, Vico President elect, was severely burned a few days flince by an explosion of powder.

Hon. Arnold Plumek. The Meadville Sentinel recommends the selection, by the President elect, of Hon. Arnold Plunier, of Venango, as one of the Cabinet. It says: " r. PImncr has been a long and faithful friend of the President elect a man of emi nent ability and unswerving Demoeracj', and one whose private and public life iVwitdout a stain. The positiuu of Secretary of the Navv Postmaster General, or Secretary of the In terior, would admirably suit his well known bu sincss habits ; and, in cither position, he would do honor to himself, and Le a benefit to the country. We do not know that Mr. Plum cr desires or would accept of any appointment but we do know that ho is eminently qualified to fill either of the above named positions, and that he would carry with him the best wishes of the people." Ciir Vice President at Home. A cos respondent of one cf the New York journals, writing from Lexington, (Kent'y.) ! speaks as follows of the Vice President elect. " After a pleasant ride among the beauti ful but fertile fields of Kentucky, I am once aain safely esconeed within this beautiful place, that was so long the abiding place, cf Henry Cla. and now is the residence of that noble son of honor and fame John C. Breck inridge. To know bim is enough to prove the scholar, gentleman and statesman, who will fill the office of Vice resident by vir tue of the election held on Tuesday the 4th day of November inst. He is all that the part' could wish for, as a champion of their principles. He 1 commenced life poor and friendless (his parents being dead.) He be gan as a teacher of a common school, and, through perseverance and hard study, he en tered upon his collegiate course with the avails of his labor. At this period of life a wealthy uncle became much interested in him, but ap. on hi3 avowal of democratic principles the bond of friendship was severed. Yet this young and aspiring genius continued on, and finally graduated with the highest honors in his class. As an orator, he combines the clear and comprehensive soundness of a Web ster and Clay: and in connection has a benu tiful and flowery style of expreesiou, and a copious supply of words, of a chaste and re fined character equal to the greatest. To use the expression of a neighbor of his 'when he opens his mouth, it i3 but to give utterance to the most beautiful, chaste and classic lan guage, like a rare collection of buds, which, as they open and expand, develop new beau ties continually In his social position, with such a refinement and cultivated manner, he is esteemed by all who know him. He will add a lustre to our party, unequalled in the history of one so young." Thete is a Presbyterian church in North ampton County Pa., composed entirely of la dies. They are twenty-two in number. There is not a single male member among them, and cf course, as they have no elder ship, they are not a properly organized church; but the ladies hoping almost against hope, have persevered in their sisterhood, and they have actually increased in members more than many churches with a settled pastor and the regular administration of the sauctuary. The Church is called "Holmes Church," after the late Dr. Holmes, of Philadelphia, who was a liberal contributor towards its erection. Gex. Walker, Commander-in-Chief of the army and Supreme Dictator of Nicaragua, has issued a decree recognizing the institution of Slavery iu that country.

The Southern counties of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, all show large Democratic gains. This fact proves that those people of the free States who re side near the slave States, who have opportu nities of perceiving the practical workings of slavery and who have had for years, a consid erable negro population among them the very people who know most practically about this question, are the most determined in their opposition to the crusade upon the South in augurated by Black Republicanism. In the States and Counties farthest removed from the Slave States, Northern Illinois, Northern Indiana, Northern Ohio, Northern New York, and Vermont, Maine, and Massachusetts, where negroes are curiosities, where little is known of their characters, or the practical workings of slavery and where the greatest amount of ignorance on this subject prevails Black Republicanism receives its largest ma jorities. 17., . rr -t m. i nail) U3i A 1HOI.MA JtAILKrtAD.

Accounts from Ireland state that the failure in the potato crop this year will be by no means so great as was anticipated at the early appearance of the mysterious blight In the districts where it was supposed the crop was irretrievably taint ed, it has been found that the injury never went below the stalk, and that the root itself remained sound.

Philadelphia, November 15 U o'tU r si. It is with the deepest regret that wo record another terrible disaster at sea an e- vent attended with incidents of horror and suffering, almost unprecedented in the annals of ocean peril. The iron screw steamship Le L)chnais, Capt Vaix, sailed on Saturday, November 1, for Havre, with thirty-nine cab in passengers. Besides, there were on board, including the oHicers and crew, engineers, firemen and steerage passengers, near one hundred and fifty souls. She also bad twenty thousand dollars in specie ori freight. On the night of the 2d inst , while in a fog off the Nantucket light-house, a ship bearing N. N W., and distaut sixty miles, was run into ly an unknown vessel, and it is probable that she went down immediately. Not so with Le Lyonnais. She remained with her after part full of water, and her bow liigb. out of the water. All hands staj-ed by the wreck until next day, wheu it was abandoned. The ehip was pro vided with six boats, only one of which was a life boat ; that boat only haf been heard from. The following arc the names of the passen gers saved: Mr Shalerand wife, Flora Solo mon, M. Domingo. Mile. Ernestine Bollef. Mr. Shaler and wife remained on the Bremen bark, the others arrived at New York on the Hamburg bark. FURTHER PARTICULARS; The Hamburg bark Elise, Capt. Nelson, arrived from Hamburg. She reports bavin"- spoKcn, on tnc lUth, a IJrcnien Lark, having on board sixteen of the passengers of the French steamer Lyonnais, which vessel was run into by a large ship on the night of the 2d iust., and abandoned next day. These sixteen persons were picked up in a boat on the 9th, two others having died. Fourteen of the rescued were taken ou board of the Bremen vessel. Among the saved was the second mate of the Lyonnais, whofurDishes the above. The second mate, and those with him, left tho steamer on the afternoon of the 3d, and wer The XolHsion occurred in a de r.se fog at the stem of the ship, which was cut cletr off. She latter had forty on board, but it is supposed they could not have lived thriBh the roujrh weather that followed. The boit picked up was only a life boat. On board nothing is knoum.f th raft and the five other boats. t is fern-d that those on them, numbering abut 130 pers-orss, have perished.
