man can't die till his time comes, and that he's just as safe one place.as another, I should like to have you charge at the head of your column ; and mark me now, don't you fire till the enemy has dis charged every gun, then take aim at the whites of their eyes, and having fired, stop for nothing, but grapple them by the throat and make sure work of it." "Very well, Colonel," says Bucket, "I'm always willing to test my faith by my works." Accordingly Bucket took his position at the head of his command, which was about 500 strong, and received the fire of 700 of the enemy. He stood it like a man, only winking a little as the balls came whizzing past him in showers. But he obeyed hte orders to the letter; and, having received the 700 bullets of the enemy, he advanced f':;rward, poured in a deadly fire, and immediately grappled hand to hand with the foe, which soon decided the fate of the day. After the action was over, the Colonel remonstra ted with him good humouretlly, for killing so many of the enemy. " Why Bucket," said he, " this was altogether useless ; half the number would have an swered every purpose. How come you to cause such a useless waste of human life I" "Don't know how it was, Colonel," replied the preacher, " we only fired once, and I rather think it was be cause their time had come." Bucket is still living and preaches to this day in one of the Westcrn States. National Morals. The question is an interesting one whether crime and vice generally are actually on the increase in this country, as most journalists confidently assert, and as most people actually believe. That with a rapid increasing population, the number of offen ces against the law should be greater is not only probable but certain. But are they in the ratio of the growth of the population I Are they not rather multiplied by slow degrees competed with the rapid accession of inhabitants to the country from births and immigration? Yet we not unfrequently hear and read of the great and alarming decrease of pub lic morality that has taken place within a few years in this country. The examples of a few murders among the population of seventeen millions of active, ambitious, energetic, impetuous people, and the in stances of breaches of trust and swindling defalca tions which have grown out of a corrupt banking system, and confined to persona dealing in monies and engaged in speculation,—these have given rise to the opinion that bloodshed and fraud have alarm ingly increased. But we must not so judge. We must io ok to the amount of existing good and not exclusively to the extent of evil, to arrive at a just conclusion. Is not education beginning to be uni versally diffused with us? Is not Temperance spreading with marvellously rapid force? Are not good feeling, charity, doctrines of peace and religion extending themselves freely and constantly with us? Is there not increased independence, too, of word and action, and a clearer and more definite view of the spirit ends and aims of republican government ? But too many Americans seem unconscious of the superiority of their social forms, their true position and destiny, and without looking to the good, com plain of the bad. Be it remembered that the freer a people are, the more they complain. In India they are slaves and there are no complaints. In Russia no popular chagrin is expressed. Austria is no better. Prusia has some grumblers, being more free. France yet more. In England, complaint is considered a birth right of every loyal subject. In America, the lib erty of speech is perfect, and the privilege of fault finding has found vent through innumerable chan nels. All that is wrong or criminal is blazoned forth in thousands of newspapers for million. of readers; nothing that is had published in one part of the country, escapes record and notice in every other part, while countless examples of noble, virtuous and fruitful charities which are eminently the result of free and enlightened institutions pass unheeded. They are not out of the way ; they are common, ordinary, and therefore unnoticed. Our counsel ler—consider your own country actually and com petitively, before you take part in this cry of im morality and retrogradation in tonna feeling arid pursuit, that is brought against her.—Philadel phia Museum. A runny Incident. The last number of the Miners' Journal contains an account of a " little circumstance" that recently transpired at Washington, which is quite too rich to be lost. It is as follows : A large number of Mail Contractors assembled at Washington for the purpose of bidding for con. tracts. While these contracts were pending, a meeting of the Contractors was called; for what purpose, a large portion knew not. Gen. Eaton, of Troy, was called to the Chair, and the meeting was organized, when lo and behold, a series of res olutions were introduced, denouncing Van Buren, and lauding John Tyler to the skies for his vetoes, &c. The Van Buren men were all taken a-back ; their months were sealed—because the contracts were pending—all seemed to pass off harmoniously, when the President arose, and addressed the meet ing to the following effect Gentlemen--I have been caught—l did not know for what purpose this meeting was called. I do not approve of the reso lutions, and I wish to be distinctly understood, that lam a Clay man from the shoe strings to the very top of my head r and as regards a Na tional Rant, Igo in for that by the Star load.'

The proceedings of the meeting held at the Old Court House, on Tuesday evening of last week, will be found on the first page of to-day's paper. It wan, considering the early state of the campaign, a demonstration after tl.e fashion of the Tippecanoe gatherings of 1840. The meeting was large, and characterized by spirit and enthusiasm. Many of our old and our young men were there from the dif ferent townships and boroughs in the county. Our tarmers, our Manufacturers and our Mechanics— our laboring business men of every class, were pre sent, and seemed to glory in the principles cherish ed and advocated by the Great Whig Party. Gen. S. M. GREEN, on taking the Chair, addres sed the meeting in a neat and lucid speech, in which he stated the object of the meeting, and adverted to the course of the lower branch of the present Con gress on the subject of the Tarilt He was listened to with much attention. After the meeting was fully organized, JORN BLANCHARD, Esq., of Bellefonte, rose by request of the meeting and delivered a most able address, in which he contrasted the principles of the Whig and Locofoco parties in this country. When he was speaking of the Tariff and the inconsistency of the Locos on that subject, we saw that the interest felt in it was not confined to the Whig party only—se veral old and respectable members of the opposition party, were standing outside of the bar, and listened to the remarks of the speaker with evident pleasure. It satisfiof us that rAnTr is no longer first with them, and COUNTRY a matter of secondary impor tance. We may safely assert that 4, Old Huntingdon" will do her duty next fall, and give a majority for CLAY and MARKLE far greater than sho gave in 1840 for the lamented HARRISON. Locorocoissr REBUKED In New JERBET.-The Locofocos in the Legislature, employed the most of their time during the late session by gerrymandering the State in such a manner as they conceived would secure their ascendency; but the People have thwarted their rascally designs, and so far as heard from Whig principles are triumphant! Trenton was divided into four wordage nicely arranged, that the loco legislators thought there was no doubt but they would be able to carry three. The honest citi zens thought different however, and they resolved on Monday last to teach those reckless Represents fives, that there is power in the ballot box. The result is, the Whigs elected their candidates in three of the Wards and part of their ticket in the other! Well done Trenton! In Middlesex town ship, also, the Whigs made a clean sweep—electing their entire ticket !

What Industry Cannot Do. It is often supposed that industry is of chief im portance in making a great intellectual reputation for a man. Thin doctrine is very comfortable. It puts people all on a level, and attributes to each in dividual the power of raising himself, if he closes, to any mental height among his fellows. Many a poor fellow, duly impressed with this idea, sets vig orously to work to be a Newton, Shakespeare, Burke, or Byron. Many is the apprentice boy, who fired with the example of Franklin, tries by reading and manyfold study, to lay the foundation of a similar reputation. But after many a fruitless strug gle; after, perhaps, tears of enthusiasm and tears of regret, he comes to the conclusion that he needs the preception, the judgment and the memory, for a great man. But lo ! here we have the learned blacksmith! an example of our own day! How brilliant ! how satisfactory ! And the erudate Vul can once assured us in a public lecture, that as lie has done, so all can do; that each man can shape and build urintellectual material to the moat tow ering point. Well then, why does not this really great linguist paint like Raphael, or speculate like Locke? Why not take up romance where Scott left it? Because he cannot. He has the talent for languages, and can learn them readily. Thousands of adult students, we dare affirm, have applied them selves with more soul-withering intensity, to the acquisition of all the forms and hues of a single foreign language, titan has our scholastic hammerer to his batch of fifty-two tongues, and have severally failed to gain their simple and modest point. The differences in physical constitution, as appa rent to the eye, are slight compared with those per taining to the mind. The destruction between a snub and an aquiline nose; a blind and living eye; a hunch-back and erect form; between a Hecate and a Hebe, are trivail, compared with the incalcu lable odds between a dry, sapless, common-place in tellect, and the ever rich, impetuously flowing and rare genius. What folly to deny this marvel of ge nius, or the more diffused gift of talent. He who holds the argument, that all men are created equal" in mind, outrages his creator by failing to be less than any of the greatest who may be imita ted. If determination be triumph, let him not only be a Shakspeare, but a Shakespearein fifty-two lan guages, and the master of all schools of art. Hu man perfection in art requires no life time. Genius, and according to our theorist all have it, jumps at its conclusions after a few years of study. Many a clever cobbler has been spoiled in aspira tions after histrionic fame, and many a worthy wheelwright has passed his days in the delusion that perpetual motion was within the grasp of his inven tive faculties. The time and engergies of like clas ses have been often devoted perseveringly to the ac complishment of purposes In themselves impossible, or which extraordinary intellectual powers alone could achieve. We think there is no danger of discouraging genuine ability, or limiting original effort or production, through the advancement of this ilootrine. True genius is always conscious of itself. It requires no external light to reveal its existence to its own preception. It is a fire which spontaneausly illuminates its own path. Sir Hum phrey Davy never essayed a Childe Harold's Pil grimage, nor did Lord Byron analyze soda and polasse with the expectation of discovering their metallic bases. Each felt his own native strength in his own mental department, and guided by uner ring instinct, labored with perfect confidence of glorious success. We do not mean by all this to repress the spirit of industry. Heaven forbid! Vt e only wish to keep it from going astray, and mistaking its means of usefulness. No amount of puffing and straining will make a bullock of a bulfrog. Of this fact there are many around us, who seem to have no knowl edge. e could name some, almost within a stone's throw, who have all their lives pursued pol itics with an idea that their statesmanship would grace a legislative hall, but who never yet origingted the fraction of an idea upon government. Others have added to the dead weight upon publisher's shelves, under the sweet illusion that a poet's bays had been destined for their brows. How well were it for society if the pains taking of these people, had been duly and solely directed to the ends for which nature made them competent ! Those who are car ried away by the theory that industry may supply the lack of genius commit a double error. They ultimately disappoint themselves, and deprive socie ty of their exertions in some useful pursuit to which their capacity is equal.—Philadelphia Museum.

Uurrah for the 13th Congressional District ! ! ! !! 77m American Tariff sustained by the triumphant election of JAMES POLLOCK, the Tariff candidate to Congress by a majority of 868 votes. We have the heart-felt pleasure of proclaiming it to our friends throughout the Union that the 13th CONGRESSIONAL DITRICT is , right side up.' Contrary to the expectations of many of our friends, we have again elected a Tariff Man to Congress from this district by an unexpected ma jority, in spite of every vile artifice used by a des perate enemy. Within a few weeks preceding the election, Mr. Snyder suddenly turned from a Free Trade man to a Tariff man, and even had the audacity to say that he voted for the present tariff bill twice—he also wrote several letters stating that he was in favor of a Tariff, and that he would go for a higher Tariff than the present one, if only the people would elect him to Congress—some of his friends even Went so far as to get a certificate from a Minister of the Gospel, stating in substance that he (Snyder) believed the Bible to be true, and every thing was resorted to by a desperate enemy, but all would not do. The honest freemen could not be gulled by n set of designing politicians, but came out like Freemen—like Americans, to the rescue of their happy country from misrule and oppression, by the triumphant election of JAMES POLLOCK to Congress, by a majority of EIGHT HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT votes over John Snyder. Well may we say that "virtue has triumphed over vice," and our district saved from disgrace ! The eyes of the people were anxiously turned to the result of this election, and its happy and glori ous result, will, no doubt, have a favorable influ ence throughout the State. We are pleased to see the way our friends at a dittance rejoice with us, inasmuch as the victory was unexpected to them. So sure were our opponents of success, that in Har risburg 'every arrangement was made," says the Harrisburg Intelligenccr, "for agrand jollification in honor of Snyder's election! Banners and transparencies were actually in course of prepa lion, and the Painter had already feasted their eyes with a deleniatton of the Coon or! his back and the Chapman Rooster crowing over him in proud ex ultation!" But in the midst of their expectations, the news came upon them like a clap of thunder, that the 13th congressional district had triumphant ly elected James Pollock.
