' tarmlned to avoid, so far as possible, all mere personal controversy and contention with my trethren of the press. The readers of the ' Journal will bear me witness that I have this. ' tar maintained this determination, giving no offence to any honorable cotemporary, and co. ming in collision only with the Jesuitical pub. Esher of the Huntingdon Globe, and one or two other.), equally unprincipled and depraved, the eiders and abettors of hie fiendish attacks on me. Those who know Lewis and his lac. 'keys, who know their utter want of integrity, truth--everything dint can renrain the passions or commend respect—will not wonder that they have slimed my path and compelled me, in self. defence, sometimes to defile my columns with their Lifitmous names and conduct, I have no apology to offer on this score. None is needed, and that, is not the object of this paper. lily object is to show in a dispassionate statement, how my difficulties with Lewis originated, and to expose once more the villainy Of their author. I shall not Oct down aught in malice; but state fairly what I positively know to be true and most of which I can prove. I shall write as in the presence of the Great Judge at whose bar all things shall be revealed ; where expert rag. ettlity shall not be able to hide its infamy ; where even petty officials shall be called to am count for duties neglected, unjust feesextorted and oaths of office violated. Having in this spirit laid the troth before the public, I Khali have discharged my duty, and will henceforth leave the miscreant Lewis, to wallow in hie shame, until fresh villainy on his part shall de• wand of roe a similar exposure. In entering on this unpleasant duty, I re• mark in the first place, what many in this corn• enmity will probably remember, that my diffi. .culties with Lewis did not arise out of his con. duct as publisher of the Globe, but his conduct as postmaster at Huntingdon. In the former unpacity, knowing the character of the man, I expected of him no fair or honorable treatment, .and therefore held myself prepared to answer his abuse with silent contempt. But as post. master, the sworn agent of government, I put ant of view his want of personal integrity, and Looked for perniniary justice, at least, in the dis charge of his official duties. Here I was die. appointed, and felt it my duty to expose his ehortcominge to the public and also to the dte part tnent at Washington. For this I have been assailed with a tissue of unfounded, base, ma• lignaut slanders, clothed in the foul and fiend lob language whiCh Popery invented, and which Jesuits only know how to use. To show that I could not, as a public journalist, permit the official misconduct of Lewis to pass unnoticed without indirectly sharing his guilt while I eel feted from it, I submit the fallowing facts to a eandid public. Shortly after I took charge of the Journal, a slumber of my subscribers complained that they did not get their papers until a week or more after the regular time. On investieating the matter I found that while the Journal was-thus delayed, the Globe came to the same offices re• gularly and in doe time every week. Now I oan prove, and offered to do Ito at the time, that during this very period, the Journal was inva. fifthly sent to Lewis' office the evening before his paper was streets off. I leave honest rea• ders to judge how the Globe, printed a day /a• ter than the Journal and mailed at the same office, could be carried in the mails to various parts of the county, a week in advance of the Journal. For this detention of my paper I submitted for a long time till the evil became intolera ble, and failing to have it corrected here, I ap. plied to Ike Postmaster General for redress.— Vain application I I might as well have ap pealed to Satan to reprove sin, as. to James Campbell to reprove the mideondurt of his pa. pal subordinate. True, I was informed, after a time, that an agent was sent to investigate the matter. But if such agent came, he did not call on me, and whatever conference he may have had with Lewis resulted in no good ; Tor the wrong wen still perpetrated, and as the presidential election approached, became even more seriously annoying. For now his overt acts were not confined to his own office, but ex tended to others in the county, as the following "order" in his own handwriting, and already fa• miliar to our readers, will show Post Office, Huntingdon, Pa., Nov. 3,185 G. Post Master at Coffee Han—You will give Mr. all printed mail matter lying at your of See for the offices beyond it. W. LEWIS, P. N. Here official rascality, blended by success and emls,l.lpned by impunity in wickedness, over reached itself; and there, reader, stands the damning evidence of the crime,—the crime of not merely "detaining or delaying" newspapers in his own office, but of taking them out of oth• er offices and suppressing them The penal. ties for this crime will be found in the sections of the poet office laws on the 4th page of this paper. The fact that these penalties were no restraint on Lewis, shows pretty clearly the en. derstanding he had with the head of the De• partment, and goes far to prove the collusion of that corrupt official. Read the law. Rut to say nothing of these penalties, which in this case had no terrors for the evil•doer, where, let me ask, was the conscience of the illikwho could thus trample on laws which mpg solemnly sworn faithfully and truly to observe and administer ? I will not attempt to answet this question, but leave it to the mo• set sense of every honest man. I shall make no comments upon this crime, except to ex plain the motives that actuated the criminal. To understand these, it must be borne in mind that the deed was perpetrated on the day be• fore the presidential election, and that the pa. per. suppressed were the Journals which con tained an expose of the infamous treachery of Sanderson and other Arnolda in the American party : and also a statement of the terms on which the Republicans and the honest portion of the Americans had agreed to unite; togeth• er with the Union Electbral Ticket and other matter highly important at that particular cri sis. To disseminate this information, on which hundreds of votes in this county depended, the Journal was printed and sent out on Monday before the election. Thin Lewis knew, and to prevent these facts reaching the people, he ig nored his oath of office, braved the threatenings of the law and the execration of the public, and sent his order of suppression. Iniquity triumphed. The order was execut• ed by agents who no doubt thought they were obeying the lawful demand of a public officer s and thus numbers of patriotic citizens were de handed of their votes, one of the dearest rights of freemen. I will only remark, that so cor rupt is the head of the post office department, and so strong the political and religious (1) sympathy sof postmaster general James Camp bell for postmaster deputy Wm. Lewis, that this great wrong must go uawhipt of justice, whilst the guilty perpetrator still occupies the place he has disgraced and may at any time repeat the transgression. There remains only this consolation, viz: that this reign of corrup tion will soon end by the expiration of the com missions whirls have been uaedto screen it from penal justice. Want of apace compels me to close here for the present. Next week I shall pursue the sub ject is some of its other startling aspects. WM. BREWSTER. Huntingdon. January 21, 1857. Agricultural Meeting. An annual meeting of the Huntingdon Co. Agricultural Society, was held in the Court House in the Borough of Huntingdon, on Tues. day evening, January 13th, 1837.

Cremer, Mr. McCollister, of Centre county, being call ed upon, then addressed the meeting at some length ; setting forth the advantages to be de rived from County Agricultural Societies, treat lug briefly the history, the design and the pros. pects of the Pennsylvania Agricultural College, and urging the propriety of memorializing the State Legislature for assistance in the erection of the same. As an evidence of the public sentiment on the subject, a number of papers wore produced by Mr. M., in which it had been favorably noticed, which were requested by the Society in order that the same might be pub• fished in the papers of the county. It was on 'notion, Resolved, That petitions, asking for aid in behalf of the Pennsylvania 1 Agricultural High-School, be circulated duo'. out the County, and forwarde-1 as soon as practicable to our State Legislature. The following resolutions were then offered by Gen. S. Miles Green, and unanimously adop. ted Resolved. That the Agricultural Society of Huntingdon County highly nod cordially ap prove of the recommendation of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in his lust official message, that the Agricultural Cid• lege or High School now being erected in Celt• tre C nutty. receive the special aid and protec tion of the L •gislature.

On motion the Society adjourned to meet on the second Tuesday of the April Court. JONA. MoWILLIAMS, Pres't. HUNTINGDON COUNTY FOR 1856.—We give below the receipts from, and payments to the State Treasury by the County .of Huntingdon, during the last fiscal year t Tax on Real and Personal Estate, $4,750 00 Tavern Licenses, 615 00 Retailers' Licensee, Distillery and Brexery Licensee, 45 00 Eating-houses, restaurants, he., 110 00 Patent Medicines, 9 50 Militia Tax, 526 78 Millers' Tax, 20 95 Tax on write, wills, deeds, ,he., 693 59 Collateral Irlieritanee EZCIIIVED FROM THE lITATi. Pensions and gratuities 8 , 10 00 Common Schools, 113 75 sor We are glad to learn that our enterpri• sing townsmen Port & Maguire have again em. barked in the coal business. They are open• iug new mines. Will he Do it 1 We some weeks ago offered to wager $lOOO with the Jesuit of the Huntingdon Globe, that his oft-repeated assertion that ono of the editors of the Huntingdon Journal was guilty of "per jury and illegal voting," was a Jesuit lie; this be has refused to accept, whilst, at the same time, he persists in his assertion. What is left us inn case of this kind ? Leave the animal in its mire? Well, we shall after one more or . fer. If it is a want of money that influences hie non-acceptance, we will make this proposi. Lion, and if he refuses to accede, let him for ever be written a Jesuit, malignant serpent. We will place $5OO in the hands of any honest man in the borough, and let him put up $2OO. If he succeeds in proving his assertion to the satisfaction of a Court and Jury, he keeps the money, if not we take the same. Now, too the mark or take the water. And further, we will bet the same amount, and in the same manner, that all we have said r elative to the "mail" business, is the solid truth, and that the Jesuit wrote the order for the matter in the poet office at James Creek, as published outside. Slir We notice in several of our exchanges an item, copied from the Huntingdon Globe, to • the effect that the Presbyterian congregation of this place had reduced the salary of the . pas• for from $lOOO to $BOO. We have been re. quested to state that this is a bold and malig. nant misrepresentation. It appears that at a congregational meeting, called for the purpose of arranging some matters, a motion had been made to fix permanently the salary of the pas. tor, in view of the completion of the parsonage. The salary of the minister had been raised in July last, from $BOO to $lOOO, and the arrange• meat now concluded is precisely the same, the parsonage being made free. These statements are made, not because the public have any right to pry into and know the business of a congregation, but merely to correct a base misrepresentation gotten up by a hired Jesuit laequey, with the purpose ot injuring the repu• taticn of one of the most able and eloquent iii• vinmiu the county, or of casting ridicule upon a religions Protestant congregation. We hope our brethren of the press, who have been decei• ved into a publication of this matter, by the sneaking, foxy cunning of a Jesuit, who can parade such falsehoods before the public, with the view of injury, will make the anteade hono. ruble. What will not o Roman Jesuit do to injure Protestantism. JIB We now frequently meet with teen and boys staggering through the streets in a beau• tial state of intoxication; but we d 3 not hear of their being arrested, though we believe the present law inflicts a heavy fine and requires the constable to execute it. It is astonishing that•the commonity can be hood winked by license laws; we do not believe that a single drunkard was ever saved by them. Men and boys can get liquor and get drunk when they choose notwithstanding the certified character of the tavernekeepers. We see by the Phila delphia papers that a man named Clark was stabbed so that he soon died, by a gang of drunken men on Christmas night. Several other stabbing cases occurred and these things are of daily occurrence. ?Just this state of things be handed down ns a legacy to the next generation ? g6rWe hare received a treatise or. the Chi• nese Sugar cane ; its history, mode of culture, manufacture of the sugar, etc. With reports of its success in different portions of the Lisi. ted States, and letters from distinguished men.

The object of this work is to supply the public with an accurate knowledge concerning this new and valuable plant,—Chinese Sugar Cane. It is satisfacto. rily ascirtained that the Chinese Sugar Cane can be perfectly acclimated in any state that Indian corn can, and every farmer will be ena• Lied to manufacture his own sugar and syrup. The juic ,fields from a fifth to a fourth of its bulk in good syrup. And, then, the seed which' it yields so promptly possesses all the rich qualities of rice, or other grain, to feed out to cattle, mvine, or fowls. It yields froth 25 to 50 bushels per acre. And, lastly, the fodder moat be quite valuable, on account of its con taining so much saccharine matter. It may be sown for fodder, like corn, and will give two crops. P. S. Will the gentlemen be so kind as to send us some seed.
