Cogonmxn IVEAroxs.— An English of
ficer visiting the cemetery of a Russian
church at Kertsch, was gecatly surprised
to find a number of• ne w graves. As no
one had been killed, and as no epidemic
malady prevailed in the town, he oonceiv
edsuspieion, and had the graves opened.
He found in them not fewer than filly mag
nificent brass guns, quite new, and a great
quantity of projectiles and gunpowder.
Z We learn from the Peintsylvanian
that the Liquor Dealers' League for the
State of Porinsylvania now number about
twenty ileum,' members, and are thor
oughly organizing the interior of the State
with great energy . and rapidity, their ob
ject beinge concert of action to protect
themselvh and their interests, by legal,
peouiriarjr and political process, against
legislation upon the prohibitory question
All this.niay postpone, but cannot defe.it
the final triumph of prohibition. That is
"manifest destiny." its triumph is only
a question of time. It is natural that those
interested in the liquor traffic should do
their best to stay the tide of popular feel
ing. But the time is coming when Society
will wonder that ever a traffic so deadly to
good morals, social happiness, and the ge
neral good, was tolerated, much less pro
tected, by law.
The Premium List.
We publish in another Milton, a _list of
the premiums offered by the Ifuntin,!don
County Agricultural society, and to he a .
warded successful competitors at the pro.
posed fair to be held near this borough on
the 10th, 11th and 12th of October next.
The list is not yet complete, but will be fin.
ished by the August Court. •
As this ix the first concern of the kind
held in our county, it could not of course be
expected that the premiums would Le as
magnificent as 'some others,' but neverthe•
less, they answer their purpose. Let the
farmers, inecitanics and all citizens become
contributors. The ladies, too, can have
an opportunity of displaying their skill,
ax premiums are sacred for articles in their
line.
It should bo retnewbered that thecontri•
butor of an article, must be tho inaniifite
General Scott.
A war has been for some time carried on
between the Washington Union and the
New York Courier and Enquirer, relative
to the urrearag,es and increase of pay due
to Oen. Scott as Lieutenant General. The
controversy has been conducted as might
have been expected with sneering and so
phistry on the side of 'the organ." After
' dispassionate perusal of the controversy,
we can only arrive at the conclusion, that
there has hoes unnecessary delay. The
great question which thu country will be
disposed to ask, is not, "has everything
gone according to official routine?" or "has
the mere enforcement of rules been follow
ed ?" but simply I, loilg has not Ihe money
beets paid i"' Every one knows that when
the higher authorities are disposed to de
lay payments, or hinder justice, they have
udder cover of "regulations" and routine,
ample means wherewith to cloak injustice,
whether it be to withhold the dues front
one who is justly respected by the whole
country, or to cover up and cloak those
tvho openly violate the law.
A GOOD MOVEMENT.---We learn from
the Charnbersbn rg 1 rhig, that a determin
ed effort is now being made by a number
of the most respectable . and influential
Know Nothings of that place, and second
ed by many of the mere liberal 'men titre'
out the county, to organize an American
party entirely independent of secret mum
cils, oaths, &c. Calls are already in circa
laden in a number of the districts, and have
been numerously signed. They purpose
to hold a public meeting at an early slay in
the Court House at Chambersburg, to.give
form and effect to their purpose, and they
mean to place themselves in such a posi
ti" that they can cord:ally invite the co
operation of all who are opposed to Pierce
and Nebraska,.without requiring them to
sacrifice their self-respect and manhood by
so doing. Of course this movement would
sadly mutilate the programme of the Or
der, but an open organization now would
probably prove nt a majority of the better
men belonging to the Order from formally
withdrawing from it. This effort is an im
portant one, may lead to good results, if jit
diciously
New York Whig State Convention.
The Whig State Csininittee has issued
a call for a State Convention, (for the nom
ination of the seven State officers, and two
Judges of the Court of Appeals, who arc
to be chosen at the November election,) at
Syracuse, on the 26th of September next.
The time and place are the same as those
designated for the Republican or Anti Ne
braska State Convention ; and this act to
gether with the feelings manifested by the
member§ of the Committee and the IVitigs
front all parts of the State, who were pres
ent, indicates that the two Conventions
will probably nominate but one ticket,
and agree upon a common expression of
principles. The State Committee of the
other principle parties arc to be held in
August, or early in September, so that the
above two may survey the whole field after
their opponents have taken position, and
choose their own ground. But in any ev
ent, there is no question that the restora
tion of the Missouri Compromise will be
earnestly contended for.
A Base Insinuation.
The Globe has for some time been har
ping on our "imprisonment," once, upon a
time. We were not jugged' because we
could not procure security, but simply
because we refused it, as can be attested
by all our fellow-citizens. Our crime was
our refusing to give tip the name of a cor
respondent. Now, Mr. Lewis asserts, we
are again a candidate for the institution.—
Why does he not, in the name of justice,
try it on. It is certainly consistent with
him, and characteristic of his magnanim
ous slut to smart to law to sustain himself.
It has been so at least with every one who
itus condeicended to notice Isis balderdash.
Now wo know no other reason for the
editor of the Globe's delight in scandal,
than that given in the old proverb, "as the
twig was bent the tree's inclined."
Oar Book Table.
We would direct the attention of our
readers to the fact, that Glodey publishes
a magnificent magazine. It is in sub
stance, what its name purports, a real La
dy's Boole, and as such we recommend it
the public attention. The August num
ber has been received, and as usual, fine.

sires a real book of fun, and no mistake,
should take the Yankee Notions. The

"There's a Good Time Coming, Boys."
Before prophesying a good time, it is as ;
well we should analyze and define its com
ponents. Money at three per cent. a mo.
is the very essence of good times, for a
man with a large supply of ready cash, on
which he is desirous of realizing "topping
interest," while money down to nothing
constitutes equally fine times to those des'.
eons of finding something "over." To the
day laborer, fine times rise in all their glo
ry, when as impetus is given to building,
and to the mechanic when there is a sud
don demand for; his peculiar branch of pro
duct. $o far so good ; but it is evident
that all this is only applicable to one side
of the question. The free receipt of mo-
ney, though generally accepted as the es
sential element of good times, is in reality
but one; half—that of light expenditu - e be
ing the other. It is all very well to talk
of two dollars a day for the working man,
but when the bare necessaries of life am
ount to about a dollar and ninety-sine ets.,
we can hardly say there is much margin
for congratulation. The nearest approach
in reality to good times, consists of a gene:
rill cheapness of the essentials of life—all
of which are based upon the price of food
united to a general continuance of manu
factures and commerce. And the whole
turns on one simple pivot—the crops.—
The price of wool is regulated by that of
turnips and hay, and all labor should be
calculated with reference to this one point.
It will be found on exatuinhtion, that what
ever slight reductions take place in the
price of labor in a period of agricultural
necessity, that they are not so great as the
increased saving in expenses. Competi
tion and a full market, force the thriller to
lower his price, ana this is readily done.
list wages do not rise ;and fall like flour
by the day, and wlcan they do depreciate,
the rule of proportion which we hatsi laid
down, still holds good. The question,
however, may be raised whether the agri
cultural interests do not suffer biThis de
preciation. Regarded as inembers.of
community, every one of whom has for
his labor an equal right to prosperity, they
do not, unless hacked we imagine that
their products become a mere drug—and
which it would be difficult to suppose in
the presient condition of our carrying trade.
In the case of the present year's crop and
which bids fair to excel that of any en re•
cord, everything points to the happiest of
conditions, an active demand and an ade
quate supply. It is evident that this year,
in most instances, the depreciation in price
will bo more than counterbalanced by thu
extra quantity, not only of yield. but land
rut under cultivation.
Take it in the length and the breadth
and the height and the content, we may
reasonably anticipate good times in the
fall. Certain it is that "stwvation by hun
ger" will not be a fashionable disorder, and
that however individuals may be affected,
the great bulk cifithe people will be incal
culably benefitted by the corning times.
Sonr Grupo&
A communication in the last G 'obe, pur
porting to have its origin with an ~ old lino
Whig," whn signs himself an "Observer,"
is a racy production ; de.ci dally so. It
proves conclusively to its that ' , giant in
tellect" still lives. The writer wishes to
be peculiarly severe upon us, and denoun
ces us as klonging to the "Proscriptive
Midnight Prowlers," and consequently we
are not, he says, "true Whigs." He also
brays most lustily over our refusing to en
dorse a communication wu published, in
which a Whig and Locofoco "fusion" was
scurvily hinted at. In other words, en
dorse his views. Ile very charitably, hu
manely, fatherly-like takes open himself
the "sweet privilege" of instituting him
self guardian of the Whig party. We
have read of Chawles Yellowplush, Mr.
Heap, and others, but they dwindle into
insignificance when "observe i" made his
appearance.
Now as the gentleman has so generous
ly expressed a desire to hick us out of the
party; denounced us as Know Nothings ;
ex-communicated us frotn the party, we
ask to be permitted to show how inconsis•
tent ho has acted, and how ungrateful he
has been to those to whom he is indebted
for past favors. Ile has used the most tin
'
measured terms of reproach against Know
Nothingism, because he imagines we be
long to "that peculiar oath-bound nrgani-
Cation." Idut lie "is caught in the net I,
spread for others." We have been infor
med that this man, the writer of the com
munication, three times made a pplicali. n
for admission into the K. N. Council if
this place, and every time wan refused !
The reasons, we r re informed that induced
the Order to refuse him admittance, was
his political forkiism and thirst for office.
Now, will Mr. "Observer" - come out un•
der his legitimate signature and deny these
facts ? IVill he deny that ho stood at the
door of the he. n. council, until notified that
he teas rejected 1 Now these are a few
simple facts, with, tvltich we are made ac•
qualified by a gentleman of veracity, and
we give them for the purpose of showing
how utterly unworthy of confidence this
camp-follower for the ' , spoils" is. his
only object is to patch together a sufficient
I number of nfusionists" to enable hint to
take a little longer suck at the 'public teat.'

the apparatus is lowered by means of a string,

Incidents of a Repulse.
We extract the following from a long letter
of a correspondent of the London Times, do
ted Sebastopol, June 20:—
WHERE'S THE BUGLER TO CALL 'rum BAL,
—As the 3Rh Regiment advanced, Our sty
ports, by some means or another, got mixed
together with them, and [Tome confusion arose
in consequence. On crossing the trench, mar
men instead of coming ulton an open field in
a firm body, were broken into twos and threes.
This arose from the want of a temporary step
above the berm, which would have enabled the
troops t 3 croon the parapet with regularity; in
stead of which, they had to scramble over it as
well as they could; and, as the top atilt) trench
is of unequal height and form, their line was
quite broken. The moment they came out
from the trench, the enemy began to direct on
their whole front a deliberate and well-aimed
milraille which increased the want of order
unsteadiness caused by the tootle of (heir ad
vance. Poor Colonel Yea sate the conse
quences too clearly. Having in vain tried to
obviate the evil caused by the broken fcrina
lion and confusion of his men, who were fal
ling fast around him, be exclaimed “This will
never do! Where's the bugler to call them
back'?" But, alas lat that critical moment
no bugler was to be found. The gallant old
soldier, by a voice and
.gesture, tried to form
; and compose men, but the thunder of the
enemy's guns close at hand and the gloom of
curly dawn frustrated his efforts; and as he rash•
ed along the troubled mass of troops which
were hoarding together tinder the rush of grape
and endeavored to get them into order kir a
I rush at the batteries, which was better than
standing still, or retreating in a panic, a charge
of the deadly missile passed, and the noble sub
tiler fell dead in advance of his men, struck at
once in the bead and stomach by a grapa shot.

The Quartermaster. General and his staff were
on the spot, and every precaution was taken to
keep oiler t and men from crowding, about.—
The men in the trenches were enjoined not to
get upon the /mallets or into the embrasures,
or to look over. All officers and men not on
duty were stopped by the cavalry a mile be.

Russians seemed to be under restraint aloe, but
they crowded on the top of the Roden and of

impassible to give a notion of the manner in
which the earth is scattered by these explosions,
and by the passage of shot. 'l' he grass, too is
seamed in all directions by grape shot, and fur
rowed by larger missiles, as if ploughs, large
and small, had been constantly drawn over it.

had bin baoa dragged up to it atnight for plunders
sake. Colonel' Yea's body was found near the
abattis on the tight of the Redon. His boots
and epaulettes were gone, but otherwise his
clothing was untouched. His head was (neat

Tlictrantula is a pleasant institution to get
into a quarrel with. Ile is a spider, with a
Lady about the size of a hen's egg, and legs
fire or six inches long, and covered with a long
course black hair. He lies in the cattle track
and if you ore him, move out of his path, as
his bite is absolutely certain death, and hone,
or gets out of any one's way, but can jump
night or ten feet to inflict his deadly bite.—
Then there is a centipede, furnished with on
unlimited number of logs, each leg armed with
claw inflicting a separate wound. If ho
walks over yen at night you will have cause
to remember him for many months to come, as
the wound is of a particularly poisonous nature
and is very difficult to heel. rho stinging liz
ard is a lesser evil, the sensation of its wound
being likened to the application of red hot iron
to the person ; but ono is to escape with life to
consider those lesser evils any annoyance. But
the insects flying, creeping, Jumping, muffing,
digging, buzzing, stinging, they are every

Young American Lady.
Front one of the recent letters of Itev. Dr.
Thompson we make the following extinct:
While seated one morning in the office of the
Amer icon ambassador, Air. Master came in,
and after the usual salutations, said, "Did you
ever get into a profuse perspiration and have to
wet blanket thrown over you?" "I
did yesterday. A lady came to me with the
following narrative : 'I am from the United
States, and have in care a young lady who has
been visiting her friends in this country. She
is a Protestant, and her father and mother
when dying charged her never to forsake her
Nth or marry a eitthulie. She has, moreover,
a Protestant friend in the :United States to
whom ohs is attached, and whom on her re•
turn to New York she expects to be married.
While in the South of Franco she met with a
French :.;entletnau who was smitten with her,
he procured an introdnction to her, and has
been courting her with unremitting attentions
ever since.
"She has used every measure to shake him off;
she has frowned upon him; she has told hint
she cats never marry him, that it is utterly
possible, that his attentions are unpleasant,
wearisome, disgusting, even plain,' to her, and
she has peremptorily ordered him never to see
her. Ho replies 'that is
_impossible till I. di e .
I cannot live without seeing you.' We came
to this city in hopes toeseope him, but ho sr:spit
ed our movements sod came with no. We
sought to hide Irons him here; but Ito has found

the country, and that he had better retorts
home. 'No, lisp say:: he, •I will ro with you
when you go, I will stop, when you stop, I will
stay where you put up, I will live where you
live. I will die where you die.' Now can no&

has just come fo one knowledge. It is that of
a highly intelligent and amiable lady, who, ono
year ago, n•as Hying in Bo,ton, in comp:ll,o,m

a 'vision,' wherein it woo revealed to 'hint that:
he must forsake his wife and children and be

And this he did—forsaking the true. partner of
his heart, —the woman he had so solemnly
covenanted to watch over and protect, "until
