Daia UNCILS;--I ' ve long been in the notion of tommencin writin about the affairs of the nation, asein as how they are all nein to tarnation since uncle Jack's death. I dont expect to write quite as slick as uncle Jack used to,for ho was a Major and had pasty considerable of !amnia, But as old Seth Sagethe Schoolmaster,up at Downingville,used to say as how the nateral gift was all, I tho't I might try; and as Winos in our family to be fighters, its nu they be writers too. Now that about lighten you knows a rale fact,for I never did know a Dow ning that would'nt rise right on eend when over there was talk about fighten, jilt like a raccoon when the dogs come at him. A lectle the sceerest of the whole-family was cousin Josh, , hut when the critter's dander got up, he was right snakoy; and I seen him lick Vulcan Stubbs,tho blacksmith, on a - muster day, in a leetlo less than no time.— Now; as all the Downings are fighters, and all o f cot as tried are writers,(which was none but uncle Jack.) I can't see what supernatural reason there is egin me bein a writer too; besides, I have often hearts father say that I am knock-kneed like uncle lick, who, to be sure, did'nt show it much seem aunt Nabby always made his trowsors perty wide.

This ho lamed from Tinker Hard case Benton! But the Major was sorter out in his count about the gold; if any body took the hint and got purses, I reckon as how they never smiled much at seem the gold—for,by hokey, I ain't seed a thing but the übettor currency," which the Go. wenn:nerd promised, for more than sir. weeeks,and if looks party much like the direction the 'pothe tary up at Downingville used . to role round his pill botes,and it makes mo feel sorter sickish eve ry time I see it,and Pd a most as leave take pills a u/ time es Adds stud: But the Major says as how tbs is all the fault of die• Bank; that its got all the gold and silver *wed away in the cellar and wont give it up to the people!

At a meeting held at the State Capitol, in Harrishurgh on the 29th of June, 1837, on the subject of furnishing the schools in Penn sylvania, with qualified Teachers—on mo tion, Dr. JENKS, of Bucks, was called to the Chair,and Witt. Heurrerr, of Lancaster, and GEORGE SELTZER, of Lebanon, were appointed Secretaries. After a short Lecture from Mr. Hot,- BROOK, on the importance, responsibility and dignity of the profession of teaching, and the practicability and advantiiges of procur ing a supply froni farmers,who should make it a regular profession during the winter, several resolutions were presented by gen tlemen from different parts of the State,which they ably supported by remarks, at some length,and with much spirit and intelligence. Mr. Bnowri,of Philadelphia county,epoke with much feeling, force and propriety on the following resolution: Resolved, That a supply &qualified tea. chars for the schools of Pennsylvania, is in dispensable for securing to her citizens, a system of common education, worthy of our state, and adequate to the wants of all our republican institutions. Adopted. Gen. KEIM, of Barks; spoke at length, and with great talent and eloquence, ou the following resolution: Resolved, That the instructor of youths, whether eontlemen or ladies, who faithfully and skilfully discharge the duties of their profession, are entitled to the respect and patronage of all classes of the community; and that without such respect and patronage schools can never assume that elevation of character, which their importance and the welfare of the community demand. Adop• ted. The following resolution was presented by Mr. FLEMING, of Lycorning: Resolved', That inducements and focal ties afforded to young men and woman es- pecially the sons and daughters of farmers, to qualify themselves for the business of in struction, would be calculated to supply our schools with more highly qualified teachers than they now possess. Adopted. Mr. BONHAM, of York, favored the meet. ing with a speech, in which he presented many enlightened views on subject of social education, in connection with the fol. lowing resolution which he offered: Resolved, That "Social Lyceums," or small circles of neighbors, formed in all sec• tioris of the State, who shall hold weekly or occasional meetings, (or mutual improve. went, especially on subjects connected with the business of instruction, may be eminent. ly useful, with little or no expense, in pre. paring yowl&" people, for the important, res• ponsible and dignified profession of training up children for the enjoyment of the rights and duties of republicans and christians. Adopted. On the subject of school visitors, provid• ed by legislative enactment, Mr. CLAIME, of Indiana, spoke at length, and in such a manner, as to convince every one present.o the great importance, and economy of the provision proposed in the following resole. lion: Resolved, That the provisions contem. plated by the resolution offered by Dr. Jenks, of Bucks, for the employment, by legislative enactment, of competent lecturers to visit schools and lyceums,in all parts of the State, might render important assistance to young people desirous of qualifying themselves for school teachers,no less than to those already engaged as such, and to the schools under their charge. Adopted. On motion of Mr. SILL, of Erie, it was Resolved, That this meeting take mea sures forthwith, to secure the services of some person or persons, to visit, as soon as practicable, all sections of Pennsylvania, to present to the consideration of meetings as sembled for that purpose, the subjects con tained in the resolutions just adopted by this 'meting, and such other subjects connected with education, as they may deem appro priate, and that a committee of nine, includ ing the chairman, be now appointed by the chair for the attainment of the object above specified. The Committee are, Messrs. SERGEANT, and CHAUNCEY, of Philadelphia; CLARKE, of Indiana; KEfiu, , of Borks; FORWARD, of Allegheny; STEVENS, of Adams; SILL, of Erie; WOODWARD, of Luzertie; and Dr. JENKS, of Bucks. The importance of the subject, and the highly interesting character of the addresses made on the various resolutions presented, rendered the meeting an occasion of no com mon importance to the cause of Education. PHINEAS JENKZ, Chairman. WILLIAM REIETER, Secretaries. GEORGE SELTZER, j•Tho Committee appointed at the above meet ing have issued the following Address to the Citi zens of Pennsylvania—containing important sug gestions, worthy the attention of all. AN ADDRESS To the Citizen's of Pennsylvania. ME promotion of Common Education, and the development of the Mineral and oth er natural' resources of Pennsylvania, are two important subjects of the State policy. In some respects,they are one and the same ohject,and the means best calculated to pro• mote the one, will most effectually promote the other. As one' object of education is to acquire useful knowledge, it must necessarily em brace a subject so eminently useful as the Natural Resources of Industry, of Wealth, and of Science, especially in Pennsylvania, whose Mines and Quarries are alike objects of policy and of pride to all her citizens. hile an acquaintance with the works of nature constitutes one important braiich of useful knowledge, and of course,deserves a place as a subject of common school instruc tion, experience proves that it so effectually awakens the minds,and calls forth the ener gies of children,as greatly to promote their, progress in all other subjects taught in schools. Argument is not necessary to prove the importance of promoting the industry, the intelligence,or the virtue of our citizens; tho great question is,what measures are best calculated to accomplish an object eo evi dent and so desirable? - - To decide that questton.eeveral meetings consisting of the delegates to the State Con• vention, and other recently held m the STATE CAPITAL" at which various reso lutions were passed with entire unanimity, and decided iiiterest,and a committee of nine appointed to carry these resolutions into effect. As that committee, the undersigned, re spectfully, but earnestly, invite the attention and the efforts of all the citizens of Pennsyl vania to such measures for promoting the intellectual, moral and pecuniary prosperity of the State as may seem to them much de• sirable. They invite your attention particu larly to a proposal for holding EDUCA 'nor' MEETINGS, or LYCEUM CON VENTIONS, IN ALL THE COUN TIES IN THE STATE, for the particu• lar consideration of this most interesting and important subject. Mr. JOSIAH HOLBROOK, the projector and founder of the "Lvcaux SvarEar," has en gaged to attend such Conventions in some sections of the State,at which he will present for the consideration of the meetings, such subjects and measures, as may deemed best calculated to secure the objects contemplat ed by them. Among the exercises propos ed for the meetings are, FIRST. An exhibition and explanation of the most useful and interesting minerals,es pecially such as are found in Pennsylvania; naming such minerals and other specimens, as may ht collected by those who shall at tend the meetings, and aiding them by ex• changes with each other, to procure collet lions for themselves; making arrangements for cabinets in the Court Houses, and in other convenient places in the respective counties where the , meetings may be held, and for a general deposite in Philadelphia, and perhaps in Harrisburg!' and Pittsburgh. SECOND. Exhibiting and explaining spe cimens of school improvement, such us pen manship, drawing, needlework, foliums,her barium, geometrical albums, small mineral cabinets, composition, mechanism,and other pieces executed in schools in different parts of Pennsylvania, and in some schools from other States. T,uao. Explaining the plan, objects and results of the Institution of Lyceums in dif ferent sections of our Union, such as their adaptation to promote the qualification of teachers, and the improvement of schools generally, and especially their power in ani mating and encouraging the young to efforts for their own improvement; and consequent. ly, in protecting them from .idleness and vice. Founnt. Proposing for the consideration of the meetings, the expediency of a legis• 'Ave provision, for permanent lecturers, or visiters, under such arrangements, as will enable all the schools and Lyceums in the State, to enjoy the benefit of their instruc• tions, aided by "cabinets of nature and art," deposited in all the school•bouses in the State. The interesting character, and the highly important objects of the proposed Gauen tiona, can hardly fail of securing a large and general attendance wherever they are held. To parents and teachers,with their children and pupils, such occasions never fail to fur nish much useful instruction,.and the iiehest entertainment they can possibly enjoy. The attention and the attendance of those classes, are therefore particularly invited.• It it. also recrended to the members of schools and o young people generally, to collect* $ prepare for the ure of the meetings, spec" mens of nature and art, as they may deem practicable and appropriate for theoccasions Notices will be given of the times and places of meetings in season to enable all in the various counties and vicinities where they are held, to enjoy the privilege of at tending them. As the conductors of the various papers and journals in the State, may be justly looked to, as the friends of schools and the patrons of useful knowledge generally, their aid is respectfully, but eonfidently requested in an enterprize, so intimately connected with all our republican institutions, and so eminently calculated to perpetuate the liber ties of our count ry,and the inestimable bless. kip of a free Republic. The members of the State Convention, during their recess, and in their intercourse among their friends, will have an opportu- nity, which they will doubtless improve, for aiding the proposed measures for the promo tionofintelligence and vii tue,without which, no Constitution can secure the happiness, or perpetuate the free institutions of our Com monwealth. That the proposed conventions, if held in all sections of the State and well attended and sustained,will greatly promote the cause of common school education, and the.gene ral diffusion of useful knowledge, together with the industry and pecuniary prosperity of Pennsylvania, is the confident belief of the undersigued committee.

The following letter from Mr. Davis, editor of the Peoria (Illinois) Register, to.the St. Louis Bulletin, brings 118 bad news, and adds another to the many evils produced by the Experiment: CATTEESE, July 4, 1837. DEAR SlR:—The pecuniary embarrass ments of our National Government are like. ly to affect most grievously the repose of this frontier,in stirring-up the Indians to"acts of hostility. I yvill explain. By the treaty of 1882, in which the Sacs and .Foxes ceded their lands bordering on the Mississippi to the United States, generally known as the Black Hawk Purchase, Government pledg ed itself to pay them $20,000 annually in specie, and to furnish them with a certain quantity of tobacco and salt. Irfthe treaty of 1830, ceding the loway reserve, similar stipulations were made. Hitherto Govern ment has faithfully performed its contracts, and the Indians have been perfectly, satisfi ed, and of course entirely friendly to their white neighbors. This year they repaired to Rick Island, in June, as usual, to the number of four hun dred, to receive their annuity, amounting to 820,000 on the Black Hawk purchase, 810,- 000 on the loway Reserve, and 87,000 un der former treaties, together with 40 kegs of tobacco and 40 barrels of salt. In the loway treaty (last year) was also a provi sion binding the United Stites to furnish $lO,OOO worth ofhorsee,to be ready at Rock Island at the same time. Judge of their surprise, on reaching Rock Island, to find that no preparation's had been made to re ceive them, and that not even the agent was there. A gentleman present, at his own risk, chartered a steamboat to proceed, to Prairie du Chien, the residence of Gen Street, the agent, and urge his immediate attendance. Gen. Street replied that it was needless to go down, as Government had provided no means of paying the annuity. Ho, however, returned in the boat, and at tempted to explain to the Indians the cause of the delinquency, arising from the suspen• sion of specie payments by the hanks. The chiefs replied that the President had promis ed them the specie, said that they had been told that it was all his, and that he could pay them if he chose. The agent further at tempted to explain, but could not satisfy them. "Well, where is the tobacco and salt, and where are the horses for our sum mer hunter said they. Unfortunately these had not been provided, and the disappoint ment of the Indians was manifested by mut terings long and strong. Gen. Street offered to accompany them to St. Louis, to see Captain Hitchcock, the disbursing agent, and satisfy them that the money would soon be paid. Twenty of the chiefs and headmen ropaired thither with him accordingly, and you doubtless saw them in your city last week without perhaps knowing the object of their visit. They, however, obtained nothing, and returned in the steamboat Pa vilion, passing Oquauka on Saturday last, where I then was. Do not be surprised if something serious should grow out of this. Mr. Phelps, of Oquauka, who knows the Indians as well as any man living on the Mississippi,told me he had sever known them so highly inflamed without breaking out into open hostility.— Indeed, they have already committed some depredations ou Skunk river,(below Burling. ton,) by driving off two or three white fami• lies, and they have also killed some cattle belonging to settlers on the lowuy, near where 1 now write you It irthought that Keokuk will be able to restrain the Sacs on the Des Moines, but the Foxes on the loway will he more difficult to control. Should it he asked why does not the Gov. erndient take the specie from the land offices, and pay the Indians, I reply, it has no specie in those offices, or comparatively none; it was deposited in the pet banks before the late sthepension of specie payments, nod can now no more be obtained by the Government than It can be obtained by private individ• I have written you this letter in order that should a frontier war grow out of this affair, the cause of it may be properly understood. There are two or three other circumstances, growing out of the well-meant, though mis understood advances of our Government to wards the Sioux, the natural enemies of the Sacs and Foxes,and of w!tich Keokuk spoke with bitter irony at the last meeting, which go to irritate still more the disaffected. I s'ncerely hope, however, that the annuity will be speedily paid, that the apprehensions of danger which now prevail may speedily pass away. ' I remain, &c. SAMUEL 11. DAVIS. Declaration of 'War by Dumas agree against Peru. By the ship Brutus, Buenos Ayres papers have been received to the 27th of May.— The British packet of that dote contains a DECLARATION or Was by the Republic of Buenos Ayres, against Peru, now under the protection of Gen. Santa Cruz, who is also President of Bolivia. Chili declared war against Peru some time ago. So there are two against two; Chili and Buenos Ayres against Bolivia and Peru. All the Repub• lics of South America are thus mingled in the strife except the Banda Oriental, and the old Republic of Colombia, now divided into the three Republics of Equador, New Grenada, and Venezuela. It will be diffi cult for these to avoid being drawn into tue vortex, particularly Equ odor, which, from its local position, is most exposed. The Declaration of War is accompanied, in the Buenos Ayres papers,with a very long Mani• feet°, setting forth the causes which, in the opinion of the Government, render the step necessary. The Banda Oriental,(capital Montevideo,) is also in arms; not against Peru,but against itself. Gen. Fructuoso Rivera,former Presi dent of the Republic, and who, only a few 'months since, was defeated in an insurrec tionary attempt against the Government, is again in motion, having collected a force on the frontiers of Brazil,with which he intends to march to Montevideo—if he can. Pre parations are making to give him a warm reception. ...,.., . 0r.... OTo Mend Lurrnr,of the National Enquirer we are indebted for a strip containing the follow ing important intelligence: From the National Enquirer-Extra. of July 24. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO: A New Minister Plenipotentiary. We learn, by a Mexican paper, just re ceived from Vera Cruz, that SENOR DON FRANCISCO PIZARRO MARTINEZ, long known as the patriotic and efficient Mexican Consul, at New Orleans, has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Untied States. The statement is • copied from the Diario del Gohierno, of a very re• cent date. From this it appears evident, that the Mexican Government is fully disposed to make a further effort to adjust the differen ces between the two nations,by pacific means. And we nay add, thnt she could not have selected a more suitable person, to represent her at Washington, than Senor Martinez, His thorough acquaintance with the - politics of this country—his intimate knowledge of the plans and operations of the slaveholders and land-speculators,tlie instigators and sup. porters of the insurgent banditti in Tonne— his familiarity with our language, manners, __, hi m and customs—his sterling . patriotism , the last eight year' s haveplaceu i n posi knowledge& talents, and extensive generil lions which have caltedifortb a display of informationl—all qualify him, in an eminent character and qualities on his part that have degree, for a proper discharge of the duties given him the reputation both in this coml . • rtaining to the high and important trust try and in Europe.of the most eminent finan. committed to his care. As he had not left cier of the age, and have proved too, so ver- New Orleans, previous to his appointment, satile is his genius, that he was equally ht. his speedy arrival at Washington may be ted as a Palinurus, to guide the vessel of anticipated.

He fully confirms the, or to have adorned the literature of his cotm recent accounts of preparations for prosecut- try and age with the choicest-garlands of ing the -war in Texas; but we cannot expect genius and intellect. A great secret of Mr. that much will be done before the close of Biddle's power, we conceive, is his perfent the dry season, perhaps about the middle of imperturbability—his features have either September. been well schooled or nature has given him an entire control over them—repose is stam ped upon every lineament— , calm ;is a sum mer's morn," no thought or feeling, no ex-. citement, is permitted to ruffle the placid exterior of that face or give sign of what is passing within.

His trials in the bitter and malig: rant contest which has been waged against him and the interests he represents, have been almost us manifold as those that tested the patience of good old Job,nnd he has borne them with an equal meekness so far as tem per was concerned, but as duty requtretl,he has never failed to meet his opponents with decision and effect. N-eholas Biddle is, indeed. an extraordinary man—his speech was excellont,and was excellently received. The above, should it be seen at the Hermitage, will cause more foaming than would limpid water to one of the canine race in the worst agonies of hydrophobia.—Baltimore Pal. DISTRESSING NEWS FROM 'CENTRAL A• mEnteA.—The New York Gazette says:— "A letter received by a merchant in this city from his correspondent at St. Juan, Central America, of the 23d ult. contains distressing intelligence from that country. The cholera was raging to a frightful extent on the west coast. Six hundred had died of that dreadful disease, between the 4th mid 30th of May." General Mews of the Week. Jno. Buzale, the individual tried for burn. ing the Catholic convent at Boston. nod cc. quitted,since died,and confessed on his death bed that he was one of the individuals who set fire to the building. Mr. May, a mombei of the Illinois House of Representatives, has given public notice that an honorable Senator of that State, Mi. R. M. Young, is a liar and a coward, and if the said Senator doubts it, he (Mr. May) will prove it by shooting him! SPECIE PosTAcics.—The Post Master General at Quebec has issued a circular to all the post Masters in the Canadas, direct- ing them to receive only specie in payment of United State., postageS. This has been rendered necessary, he says, by the receipt of information from the Post Master Gene ral of the United Stateß, that he shall ex pect the American post office revenue col• lected in the Canad 33 to be remitted to him in gold or silver. Exmoitxxo EXPEDITION.—The secrete. ry of the navy, on his late visit to this city, invited the gentlemen of the scientific corps, appointed for the exploring expedition, to meet and pass an evening with him at the rooms of the Philosophical Society. The best spirit prevailed, and the secretary,con ' trary to current reports, appears to be in earnest in his effifts to start the expedition; he manifested a marked degree of liberality as regards the purchase of instruments and scientific materiel, authorising every thing required, to be purchased under the super vision or recommendation of a 'committee of six members of the American Philosophical Society..all of them disposed to forward the object, so that agreeably to the wishes of the secretary there will be more probability of duplicate supplies than of a deficiency; this we understmd him to say was his deci• ded wish. He seemed to think the expedi • tion might sail in seventy days. Pirnidio's Omnibus. Two hundred laborers aro wanted within 12 miles of Michigan city, (Indiana,) to work in grading the truck of the railroad. Also 100 carpenters ate wanted at the beautiful and healthy town of Washington, at the mouth of Sac River, Wisconsin Territory. To EMIGRANTS IN THE NORTHERN STATES.—Tho price of oats in Canada is $2,25 per bushel, in Detroit $l, and through out Michigan, this side of Detroit, $1,50 to $2. If you come all the way by land, with your wagons and teams, take the Ohio and Indiana route, by all means. Oats there cannot be more than half these prices. Keep as far south as you can, as the country is better settled, with better roads, and prov ender and provisions are cheaper.—Pedriu Register. FBEYCh FLOUR.—Among the other curi ous things that of late have arrived among , us is the article of French Floui,in barrels, as ground and put up in France, lately im• ported at New York. A friend has shown us a lot he hat for sale, which appears to be equal in quality to the best Western flour, and in perfect good condition.—/V. Y. Star. WooL.—This great staple of Vermont has just been taken from the useful animal which fiears it, and is ready for market.— The aggregate of the crop in the whole State this year, probably exceeds 3,000,000 lbs. At last year's prices, say 60 cents, it would amount to near 2,000,000 dollars. But it is said there Are no buyers, no market, and hence no price for the article. This is truly a sad state of things. But will it long remain sot is the question. For one, we think not. While summer, and winter, in particular, last, people must have clothes; and,we think, if it is difficult for the manufacturers to buy wool at home, it will be more difficult to buy the article abroad; and the wool they . must have, or do worse. Many of the far mers are enabled to give a long credit for a part, at least, where they have large lots; and we think they would be willing to sell it at a reasonable rate.—Rutland NICHOLAS RIDDLE.—In giving an account of the celebration which took place at the opening of the Baltimore and Philadelphia Rail Road, the Delaware Journal thus speaks of this distinguished individual: . In reply to a toast complimentary to the institution over which he presides,the Bank —the Monster, as some call it—the faithful regulator of the currency and only remedy for its present diseases—as we deem it— Mr. Biddle addressed the company in an admirable speech, in which, avoiding any partisan topic, he explained the salutary in flume° this institution has exercised upon the general interests of the country and par. ticularly upon its' internal improvements.-r Be is unquestionably an extraordinary man —this Nicholas Biddle. With an intelLeet which takes within its grasp the mightiest as well'as the minutest subjects, he seems fitted to adorn any Station a statesman or financier might aspire to. The events. PENNSYLVANIA SCIICIOLS.-ft appears by the report of the Superintendent of the Pub. lie Schools of Penn.,that the annual expense of primary schools, is five hundred tind eighty-five thousand dollars; and this year, (exclusive of four-fifths of the scho9l fund of the last session of the Legislature,amount. ing to five hundred thousand dollars) exceeds (me million dollars of which half is paid by the State and the other by taxation. There are forty five counties in which there are academies (of which only seventeen are in operation, and most of these in debt) which have received aid from the state amounting in money and land, to about two hundred and forty-one thousand dollars—in the seven. teen in operation there are eleven hundred students. The incorporated colleges are fourteen, of which eleven only are in opera tion; total grants to colleges, two hundred and twenty-four thousand six handred dol lars. TUE POTOMAC ADVOCATE and Metro politan Intelligencer,is the title given by Mr. Turner to the paper formerly called the Metropolitan. 1 t will be published at George town as formerly, and will doubtless con tinue to maintain the interest which it pos sessed under its former conductors. SPRING W H EAT. -7•ThG Westminster (Md.) Carrolltonian states that some of the farmers in that section are turning their at tention to raising spring wheat, and much interest is felt to ascertain whether their soil and climate are adapted to its growth. It says, "some experiments have been made the present season, and we have been made acquainted with the result in one instance,' in which it has proved successful. We have now in our office a bunch of heads, taken indiscriminately from a field belonging to James Renshaw, Esq., of Adams county, which are remarkably large and well filled. We are informed the crop is a most luxuriant one, the stalks standing very thick upon the ground and the heads generally of the size of the sample. The seed was imported from Europe, and was sown the first of April.— Thus in the space of less than four months, a beautiful crop has sprung up and matured. We advise every farmer not to suffer another season' to pass by,without seine of this wheat, if only enough to satisfy themselves of the adaption to our soil and climate."

Herald of Saturday says: The first Wheat brought to our market this season, was a lot of about 00 bushels, on Thursday, from the county of King George, of excellent quality, which sold for $1,07 per bushel. Although the crop in this part of the State, it is feared will prove a short one, we are pleased to hear that tho quality of the grain is generally very-good. The Staunton (Va.) Spectator of the 20th inst. says: "The . Wheat harvest, generally, is just commencing in this county, being about three weeks later than usual. The crop is much better than the most sanguine anticipated in the early pelt of the season, and the'grain ts of excellent quality. The Rye crop, in general, is excellent, end Oats most abundant. The Corn crop,also,is very promising."

Dickinson College. The annual commencement of Dickinson College. took place in Carlisle, Pennsylva nia, on Thursday last. On the day previous an oration was delivered by the Hon. Judge HAva, of Lancaster, before the Belles Let• tree and Union Philosophical Societies, and a large auditory. The address was a sodnd and sensible production, highly creditable to the euthor. ' The exercises Connected with the com• rnencement, ,were of a highly interesting character. All the graduates delivered ora tions, and a literary gentleman who was present, assures us that they were truly elo quent and powerful. Governor RITNER and Secretary BURROWER were among the au ditors. The following was the order ofthe orations: I. Salutatory—Program; of Liberty—by John Zug, 2. Military Glory and its drools: by Wm.

This old and respectable College, we are glad to learn, is now in a most flourishing condition. The President of the Faculty, the Rev. J. P. DVRBIN, is a gentleman of superior acquirements, and admirably cal• ciliated for the government of a literary in• stitution. All the members of the Faculty are unexceptionable, and the rapid progress of the classes gives strong evidence of their great zeal and efficiency.—Phaad. Inq. Terrible Disasters!. Fearful disasters occurred m the Camp de Mars at Paris, at the military fele anti sham fight given there in honor of the nuptials of tho Duko of Or leans. This calamity will recall very forcibly the fatal occurrences at the wedding of Mario Antoin ette,by the giving way of a scaffolding,in the place Louis Quinze. Some sof:poo spectators assembled in the Champ de Mars, to witness this military spectacle. The Champ de Mars is a vast enclosure, surrounded by • ditch,the mamas, to which Is only t hrough large iron • iptteways. The centre is a low open plam,rioung from - winch the ground has a gradual and gentle slope until it attains the level of the surrounding streets. The open space is witbonttreen, the slope and elevation are shaded with fine ones. On this slope and ele vation, and. among the e trees, were collected 300,000 persons,while the troops manoeuvred below,and went through a sham fight. During this, sumo of the sock ets and other fire-works„ taking a wrong direction, wounded some of the spectators,and in one part of the field two men fell from a tree and were killed on the spot. It was not,however, till tbo breaking up of the epectacle, about 10 o'clok, that the main catastrophe ensued.' The crowd,anxious to disperse,rushed to the gates. At first the exit was easy and regular,but soon ' .as the MUSS from behind pressed impatieutly on, the Jam became terrific—alarm seized upon the crowd— men, women and children.uttering fearful cries,were trampled under foot—and for more than a quarter of an hour,especially at the gate of that Military School, this horrible scene was eontinued.and Ulcerated final ly got out only by passing over the bodies of the dead And the wounded. Twenty-four persons,l2 men and 12 *women. were killed on the spot. 2 women carried to their homes expired almost immediately, and tfiere Were more than one hundred and fifty wounded! of whom forty were seriously. 41 . ition to this list, others at the lower end of the en• closure and in pairing out at the bridge of Jenaonav bare been precipitated in the Seine,as there had been many inquiries for perarna missing, who are neither ALMOng the wounded nor the dead. The worst part, as to character. remains yet to be told. We translate literally: "In the midst of this 'scene of, de- elation there were men who seemed to duke a ferocious delight in augmenting the tumult:— . they snatched their jewels and ornaments from the women, tore. off their clothes and perpetrated the . grossest insults upon them. Women were seen lying on the. earth bleeding and senseless, upon whom these wretches were Mill wreaking their enormities." A STAR IN TUE EAST! Great Whig Triumph in a District • heretofore Jackson.

The Borough ofGettysburgh. ozy•Notwithstanding the hard times and scarcity of money, produced by the ruinous measures of the General Government in relation to the curren cy, our little Borough continues to improve.— Within the last fifteen months, a number of fine buildings, which do credit to the town, have been erected. The new LUTUEHAN COURCH, just completed, and PENNSTLVANIA COLLEGE, rapid ly, progressing towards completion, are 'specimen; (the latter especially) of correct taste that speak well for their designees and architects. There have also been a number of clover dwelling-houses put up within the last year—a fact that population is not, if other business be, on the decline. We were'apprehensive that the extensive fail ure of last year's crop would have produced a stag nation in business, and an amount of distress,much greater than we have really felt. And this must have been the case; had it not been for the Public Improvements now in progress through our Coun ty. The money expended upon them, has sup plied, in a great measure, the deficiency that would have existed in consequence of our Farmers and others being compelled to purchase their bread stuff in the West; whereas, in seasons of ordinary plenty, a largo amount of money is brought into the country by the sale of Flour, Bacon, &c. But last year, instead of supplying others, and receiv ing their money in exchange for our products, we were supplied by others, who received our money in exchange for their products. This made a vast difference, and we should have suffered severely had it not been for the opportune commencement of the Public works, by which more than $lOO,- 000 has been circulated among our citizens—there by preventing an untold amount of embarrassment and distress. Every ono will see the benefit which the whole mass of the peOple have derived from the works now in progress; and we have no doubt, that many, who have heretofore oppised them, on seeing their utility, will become their friends and advocates.

He dislikes to Puri his friends : but NECESSITY, in the present instance, drives him to it— he has engagements to meet, which if not met during August Court next, he will bo compelled to transfer to those he owes the accounts of all indebted to him previous to the commencement of the present Vol ume. He trusts, however, to the kindness of his friends to avoid the latter alternative. He has many patrons who have been, not only punctual, but very liberal and kind to him at all .times—to whom he tenders his warmest thanks,and shall always bear them in grateful remembrance. He has others who deem it unkind to be asked for the small amount due him from each respective. ly—which he very much regrets: to each, individually, the sum may seem small—but to him, collectively, they are of great im portance, and fully warants him in asking their payment in cases of emergency. There is a third class (and would that it was a small one!) of "Patrons" who have been patronizing us from 3 to 7 years and upwards, but have not paid one cent towards the liquidation of their accounts! To such he would say, if you have not 'sinned away' your Honesty, do pay him—he will take a ny thing that is passable: boots,shoes, oats, corn, rye, wheat, flour, notes of "the mon. ster," or the "shin-plasters" of our Van Bu ren friends—any thing that will Wince your accounts.

"Van Buren and Johnson Gold!" 0:7• The following precious toast was given at the late celebration of the 4th in Manchester, M.4,i= by one of the followers of "Tumble Humbug Ben.:, • ' ton!'—vizr. "Van Huren's and Johnson's gold and silver cur rency, ten per cent , premium above petticoat Harri son's rag currency." From the scarcity of the "gold and silver cur rency," one would think that ten per cent. was no great premium; and we are very sure that it is far less than will be paid for gold and silver before we have got ourselves rid of the real (Van Duren and Johnson currency," the "SHIN PLASTERS." We don't reprobate the ignorance of the fellow who give the above toast, but we pity it. We are sorry to see any ono so grossly ignorant as this man has shown himself to be. Every one ought to know, and every one who is not totally devoid of the faculty of memory, does know, that, at the time the Jackson and Van Buren currency system, Me State Bank system, was substituted for the United States Bank, the currency of the • country was sound, and tint every whore paper was redeemable in gold or silver, halt as soon as the "Ex emit sistur" began to work, gold and silver disappeared, and "SHIN-PLASTERS," the real Van Buren currency, took their place! Gen. HARRISON, of course, every one knows, had no agency, either for good or evil, in produc ing the present RAG system; but it is-more than likely that THE PEOPLE will entrust him, or some other good man, with powerto restore the currency of the country to its former healthy state.
