Lion. Simon Cameron. , We copy the following well written sketch of the history of the IT* Sim-on Camerson, from the Chester Advo cate. There areao assertions in it which will in the least conflict with the views of any N'vho know the man to whom they refer ; This gentleman,(who now represents 'our good- Commonwealth in the na tional Congress, 11l a self-made Man.— There are but few that have bad more disheartening difficulties to contend with in the great battle of life. ' - With. out ' money, friends or influence, he launched out on his youthful career, 'with a brave and hopeful heart, though the skies hung dark and heavy above him; - and his pathway was shrouded in deepest gloom. He went into the fight gallantly, and came out a victor. He fought bravely with all opposing- ob etleles find ,overcame them, where others would havexone down and mis erably perished. If the ascent was at first rugged. and , full of thorns, it has led to a flowery vale and sylvan groves. It was such unwittquerli t hle energy as this, coMbined withmore than ordi nary ability, that , enablest hint to rise from the compositor's case to one of the- highest positions of trust in the gift of the nation; And here he it said, to the credit of. our craft, that' ninny 01 the most distingeished men in Ameri eaai literature and statennuiship him , served their apprenticeship in ,he l it pi intim; office, among whom we re proud to enumerate the world renowned traveller, Bayard Taylor and, SchuYlet - Colhix, Vice President of the United States. All honor, now and forever, to the noble sons of toil. ' Mr. Cameron is a true man, much as his character% and motives have been as-ailed by personal enemies. No one can, wear the badge of greatness with out them. They itre the certificates. duly signed and sealed, of the mental or moral superiority of those against whom they direct t eir assaults. A person who hits no en mies is s 6 low n the ' scale of secial and intellectual worth as to be un moilthy of the conN deuce of honest mend There is one In dication of a gen ii ine nobility of soul— a sign manual, as it were, that 'above -all others, serves to show that there is in his character and motives something far superior to mere policy. This con sists in his just 'appreciation of servi ces rendered ; it can truly be saidthat he never fails to repay a kindness, if it be iii his power,,! His sincerity in this respect is prove by his invariably re mentheriiig and reciprocating favors, even in cases where t from the honora ble but obscure posi tions fn society oc , eupied by those wits) have aided hint, no personal advantage—no popular eclat could be gained. I,lle following biographical sketch, taken from the columns of a contem porary, aside from all partisan prefer • eneegs and prejudices, is a splendid trib ute to the keen perception, delicate tact, filvincible will, and perserving elbrts that have enabled hint to climb the 'ladder of political preferment almost to its topmost round. ',' We admire Gen. • Catheron for his bold, earnest, aggress - lye measores, and thoroughly detest those who defame him without truth or justice. We admire him because he r.ont, forth two well beloved and tal ented sons—one of whom perished on-a southern • battlefield—to tight for - tits brave old flag that every patriot loves. And we admire him for his firm and consistent adhesion to the cardinal prin ciples of the great party which lie so faithfully represents in the Senate. admivo him for these traits just as we do Thomas Jefferson, the "?ApoS tie of Democracy," Thos. 11. Benton, who for thirty years, in the i•enatorial halls of the nation, never once' deser ted the principles of his constituents, and that grand old hero, Andrew u Jack- Fon, who had an unfaltering. faith In the toiling true , ses, the welfare of which he guarded - with parental srilivitticie.z— Such rnen as these laid the foundittigns 'of our national greatness, and built up a noble and powerful party, f ilitTillg for its eorner-stone a full reeognittion of the tights -1 the people in eveKy rank and station of life. General Cameron mere ly took upon him the burden of the task, where they laid it' down at the summons of death—and for this futuri ty will award him the meed of praise." Simon Cameron was torn in Lan easter county, Pa., March 9th, 1799, and thotigh nearly 70 years of age, stands erect, as every true man should, possess- e , , apparently, as much elasticity of action and viyakity of mind as lie did twenty years ago. •He learned the'_ art of 'Printing (a good stepping stone to greatness) early in life ; worked for a while as a journeyman in Washington city., and afterwards edited newspapers at Doylestown and at Harrisburg; af tewards.hecame interested in9rnportant hanliing . and railroad Interests, and asa Shia neia has no superior in the State.— He served as Adjutant General of Pennsy vania, was .Secretary of War Under . Ir. Lincoln, and while in that important position devised a plan for putting down the rebellion, which had it be - en adopted, - would have terminated the war in favor of the Union armies in perhaps half the time that was re quired, and would have been attended w ith a much le:-s loss of life and ex peut,e to us: All must acknowledge that Cameron more Wily 'comprehen ded the magnitude of the rebellion and the proper course to crush it than any of our public men. He resigned as Secretary of War when appointed Plenipotentiary to Ru-,ia. He was first elected to the United States Senate in 1845, serving until 1849; was re-elected in 1857 for a term ending in 1863, but resigned' in 1401 to accept a position in Lincoln's' Cabinet; was again re-elected as a Re publican to succeed Edgar Cowan, and took his seat iii 1807; his term as Sena tor will expire Marc!' 4th, 1873. General Cameron to-day stands fore most among PennsylVania's sons.— Ile has been eminently successful, po litically as well as in hs bnsiness pur suits. His wisdom hhs always been bright " in the remembrance of things p;o-t, and in the foresight of things to Caine." No man ever had more friends, warm, true friends as well in adversity as prosperity, than Simon Cameron.- - No man ever had more enemies, bitter, vindictive, misrepresenting, unprinci pled enemies than lie. No man was ever truer to his friends, under all cir cumstances, than Simon Cameron ; no man ever treated his enemies with more graceful silence and profound contempt than he. He ever seeks to reward his friends, and allows his eneinies, with their false practice against his character, to take their own time to destroy them selves. The power and influenci) he exercises hi the Senate and in the State, particu larly at this time, :have alarmed tho,e who call themselves " Anti-Cain cron men." Especially is this the case in the Seventh District, and for the purpose' of lessening the influence that properly belongs to him in the party and State, have let loose some of the swiftest - and best trained of their pack to scent some mischief, make a noise, disturb the peace of the community, and threaten a division of the party.

As t 6 the Rittialists—we have hereto fore looked upon thetn as a party bound for Rome by easy stages; but late hap penings go far to w*rant the belief that they are going to Rome by railway, through the tunnel Of Mont Coals. Precisely how much weight is to be attached to the utterances of Dr. Mor gan Dix, as a citizen, we do not know, nor does it matter Much. But the ut terances of Rev: Dr. Morgan Dix, Rec too of Trinity Church, New York . , hav ing somethingsto do with the policy of the Protestant Episeopol o —boron, and thus with Protestantism everywhere, are public property, to be valued, weigh ed, and commented upon with unre strained freedom. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix lately delivered a discourse in Trinity Church, New York Pity, in which he boldly pro claimed that l l ' the last three hundred years constitute the real and true dark ages of Christianit4/' He also, on the same occasion, said t tat Luther's fight for the-right to exer ise private judg ment in reading the Bible, loosed the powers of evil' and I - owed the seed of infidelity broadcast. On another, And 1. Dr. Morgan Di said "As for Protestantilm, cc power is broken, its epitaph dug " We clip these ut eraXes f;om our city exchanges. Thbugh few in num ber, these sentiments convey an impres sion very like that made by the clar ion-note of war. Christqnity, accord ing- to the plain meaning of Dr. Dix, had- its clearest, puref4t, and best expres s sloe before the Lutheran . era. The Christian world might to feel much obliged to the Rector of Trinity for the information. Tho ages in which the right to control individual conscience was assumed and eiy oyed by a corrupt priesthood, were, we are asked to be lieve, the golden ages of Christianity. Belief is one of those things not, to be had upon terms so cheap. Light is its own best expositor and not all the hierarchs in the known world can ;transform midnight into rosy dawn.- -What Dr. Dix, and what the Pope So much deprecate, and of which they are so intolerant, is difference of opinion, leading to the multiplication of sects; What Rome most r sisted in the Refor mation was the los of tribute money. What she most retrets to-day is that enlightenment of tie civilized world which stands like iti immovable rock in the path of only .ule by any chuqh, or State: Look-at Austria, beginning to - arouse and shake herself; and note how the chains forged at Rome are fall ing from the wristS and ankles of her people. Look at Spain—withdrawing from the night of Superstition, and daring to hang prierts who dared to be come assassins. As defiant Austria, and perturbed Spain are to Rome, so are the sects of Protestant sin to Dr. Dix and his ritualistic breth en. And is Protestaatism dead ? Is its power broken ? Its 'epitaph written ? Is its grave dug ? A. thousand times, NO I Never, since, the bold utterances ,of Luther rang through the German Odes and startled Rome; never, since the ringing protests of Zwingle awak ened the simple sotils of Swisserland to aspirations for a hl her and noble free dom, has the spirit of Protestantism— which is butnnoth r name for religious toleration—been so vigorous and heal thy as to-day. Rome, Ritualism, mole eyed Bigotry, andi Atheism, will be dead and dust, age l before Protestant ism will perish out of the world.

No Morgan Dix, no Pio Nino, no priest of Islam, will live to pronounce the epi taph of Protestantism ; for Protestant ism is the Divine Voice, -speaking, however imperfectly, through man, and protesting against spiritual, dependence between man and man. It is prog ress. It is a declaration of the sover eignty of conscience. It is the guaran tor of freedom of thought, speedh, and the presS, and where it reigns there can be no padlocks upon the Bible. What ever else happens, the Book 'lutist be free to all, and the interpretation must be free and untrammeled also. Dr. Morgan Dix sl;nging his petty ar rows at Martin Luther, Melancthou, ,Zwingle, and their sturdy fellows! He may as well attempt to fathom the plan of creation, or melt the glaciers with a breath. The immortality of Luther and his co-Workers is as well assured as the mortality of the forms and blas phemy of St. Albans. • Father, would you make a hero of your boy, let him read the great epic of the Reformation. Not once, but many time's. Not as a task, but as a teaching of / the high emprise of the second fathrs—the Executors of the will of the ..'ounder of Christianity.— We have long wondered why D' Au bigne is not' as much a School book as the Bible. t should be read in every school. The martyrs by fire and fag got occupy a great space in the litera:- ture of religion ; but what of Luther, ' what of his noble coadjutors, who were daily crucified for the truth? Is it more to die for a belief than it is to live and suffer daily death for truth's sake? Are there no martyrs save those burned, or beheaded, or flung from rocks into the sea? We deny it. Tho men of the Reformation rise like monuments of imperishable marble upon the dull level where the bones of the lesser martyrs bleach. From this `day let the Protestant world put the history of the Reformation into the wands of the people. Make it as cheap as Testament, and 49. common.— . Let its grand lesson be taught in every family in Protestant Christendom, .so that the cause and cure of the blackest infidelity the world ever knew may be as familiar to the young as the Sermon on the Mount. goy. " While the question of specie pay ments is an abeyance, the prudent man is careful about contracting debts paya ble in the distant future." The Presi dent's,counsel should be heeded; for while it is not probable that specie pay ments will be suddenly enforced, the steps for a return to a specie basis will be taken soon. Prudent men, in place of Increasing their liabilities, will set about keeping the same where, they can meet them when matured. ,Only in this way can the insolvency of thous ands be 'avoided. The laws of trade are unalterable and arbitrary. , If a man risks too much, and makes a blunder, those laws force him to the wall. No man should ,venture upon the expecta tion of 'assistance from friends. In this way the innocent are made to suffer with the guilty. 33e prudent, avoid overtrading on liniited means, and the business of the country will make a safe turn of the corner. The 29th Judicial District, constitu ted of Lycomine County, wno, on the 15th inst. abolished by act of Assembly, and that county attached to, and made to constitute a new District composed of Lycoming, Tioga, Potter, McKean, and Cameron counties. The same act attaches Elk county to the Bth Dristrict. This action takes us by surprise. We had heard something about such a proposition two months ago, but be lieved the' project was abandoned.— Turn it which way you will, ignoring the fact that the 4th District is better constituted than before, such legislation is in the nature of a mischievous pre cedent, dangerous to the stable 'founda tion of our judicial system, and impos s.tible to justify by any reasons yet sub mitted to our consideration, Let go back a little : The act cre ating Lycoming county a judicial Dis trict w& not justifiable. It was un necessary, and therefore wrong. But the District was created, and last fall Mr. Gamble was elected Judge. Mr. Gamble is a Democrat , with an odorous reputation, politically. We regard the preferment of such old snags of poli ticians to the Bench a very great mis take. But he was elected. It was the action of the majority in Lycoming county. The majority Must rule, else our system of government goes to the bad. _ We do not hear that Judge Gam trle„has misbehaved himself on the Benchi - but if he had, the Constitu tion provides the remedy for misbe havior in office. However, this new deal unseats Judge Gamble, wrongs him, wrongs the majority in Lycoming. Of this' we make sturdy complaint, now, and always. We would not wrong even the vverst opponent. It is not well to indulge in Buell. experi ments ; and while we do not know that this new deal was made to 'unseat Judge Gamble, such is the effect, and so will it be charged. . Let us go back a little further: Not quite ten years ago the Pennsylvania Legislature then being Democratic, and the Gbliernor being a Democrat, con ceived the idea of legislating Judge Wilmot out of office by breaking up the Bradford judieial District. We remem ber well the indignant remonstrances of the Republican press against the meditated outrage. If we i do not great ly mistake that outrage was planned by C. R. Buckalew, late U. S. Senator. We do not forget that the Democratic press clamored for the act which was aimed at Judge Wilmot. Just now we do not call to mind one Democratic pa per.which denounced the contemplated outrage, still a few may have.,done so. Among the most noisy 'and furious ad vocates of the outrage upon Judge Wil mot and the People of his District, was °tie Col. Tate, then editor of the Col umbia Democrat. Col. Tate is now ed itor of.the Lycoming Standard, and the demolition of the Lycoming District strikes hint thus: "This is ono of the most detestable transactions that has ever disgraced the annals of legislation, and is an infamous outrage upon the people of the 2gth Judi. mat District of Penbsylvania. We have only room to say, that the parties engaged in this iniquitous sstln• die will be held to a strict accountability at the bar of public justice and before an outraged and injured pee• ple." By which we are reminded that Col. Tate does not subscribe to the old saw—" What's sauce for •the goose is sauce for the gander." We are also re minded of the fable of the gored ox. In other words, it was a laudable thing to urge . the unseatinof Judge Wilmot; but it is an "Infaraus outrage" to un seat Judge Gamble. Managers of the Democratic press of Pennsylvania, you are estopped from complaint in the case before de. Yon clamored for the unseating of Judge . ' Wilmot, an act which, bad as this is, would have been many degrees worse. The people cannot listen to you When you blow hot and cold. • This "out rage," whether infamous or not, must meet its condemnation from the press which denounced the attempt to un seat Wilmot, not from that press that urged the legislature of 1858 to perpe tate an outrage the same in kind, but infinitely worse in degree. Are you lost to shame, or have you buried your memory of events? As we condemned the attempt to unseat Wilmot, so we condemn the unseating of Gamble ; and though we opposed the creation of the, 29th District, we cannot endorse " the deep damnation of its taking off.' Since the foregoing was written and lin type we learn that the Senate has repealed the act 'abolishing the 29th District. It is not probable that the House will pass the Senate bill, though we hope it may. That the people may know what sort of a man Gen. Grant selected for Sec rotary of the Treasury, we print• the following letter written by Mr. A. T. Stewart to Mr. J. T. Sprague, of Mem phis Tennessee, on the 29th of April, 1861. Read it, and tell us what you think of •it: DEAR Sin Your letter, requesting to know whether or not I had offered a million of dollars to the Govern ment for the purposes of the war, and at the , same timoinforming me that neither yourself nor your friends would pay their debts to the firm as they matured, has been received, The intention not to pay seems to be universal In the South. aggravated in your case from the fact that it does not arise from inability ; but whatever may be your determinat ion, and that of oth er in the South, it shall not change pay course. All that I have of position and wealth T o,ce to the free institutions of the United States, under which, in com mon with all others, North and South. protee,tion to life, liberty, and property, have been enjoyed in the fullest manner. The Government to which these blessings are due, calls upon her citizens to protect the capital of the Union from threatened assault, and al though the offer to which you refer has not in terms been made by me, I yet dedicate all I have, and will, if need, my life, to the eervloo of the country ; for to that country lam bound by the strongest ties of affection and duty: I had hoped that Tennessee would he loyal to the Constitution ; but, however extensive may be secession or repudiators, as long as there aro any to uphold the sovereignty of the United States, I shall be with them, supporting tho flag. A. T. STEWART. The Free Traders, with Andrew John son at the fore, are still confident that economy demands saving at the spigot and wasting at the bung. The veto of the Copper tax bill by Johnson is a case in point. Mr. Johnson says that the effect of the bill would be to reduce the income of the Government by dimin ishing the imports of copper and copper ores. It would also foster monopolies, says he. Very well; let us see: If we have in exhaustible mines of copper, ought they to be developed, or not? Would not the development of our home mineral resources more than balance any profits to the shipping interest under free trade in copper and the ores thereof? If we close our own mines and patronize for eign production, do we not foster foreign monopolies? And doss not the whole animus of Free Trade doctrine point to the fostering of a monopoly of shipown ers?, Why onrich ohipownerg 45 tbm expense of miners? Why? THE ,LEMLATURE.—Thei substance of tho bill to protect tho public froiVatent swindles, Passed by tho House on tho is as follows: Section 2 provides that it shall ho unla' any person to offer to soil any patent ri, alleged patent right, in this Commonwealth) the vendor shall first submit the same to Commissioners of tho county where it is oiff. together with the letters patent, or a dul thenticated copy thereof, and make an a la setting forth tho name, age, resi • , former arrirs occupation of the vendor, the name age, residence, of his principal; which affidavit shall b. f •_'• • • Commissioners' Office; whereupon tho Commissioners being satisfied that the article is duly patented, and the patent in full force, and and that the applicant is duly authorized to sell in said county, may authorize the applicant to sell said patent right in that county, on payment of $2 fee for the use of the county. The fourth section requires every taker of notes irr obligations for patent rights to insert in the body of the same—"this note was given for a patent." The fifth section prohibits, under pen alties the sale of patent rights in any county of the State until the vendor shall tram first com plied with the provisions of section 2.

OBITUARY Died, on the 13th of March, 1869, Mr. Jelin GORRIE, in tho 93d year of his ago. He had been living the last thirty years of his life with his t children in Delmar, and was at the time of hid ) death with his oldest daughter, Mrs. Robert Karr. What changes in the map of the world, and among the nations of the earth since ha was born! He was cotereporary with Napoleon Bo naparte, having come into this world only seven years later than this man of destiny. The year of Mr. Gorrie's birth was the year of the Decla mation of Independence, the ever memorable 1778. A little town in Perthshire, Scotland, was his childhood home. The family went to School to that scholar and author of world-wide fame, Dr. Thomas Dick. The subject of this memocir was a tenant upon the estate of Gen. Grattan, afterwards Lord Lynedock; who succeeded in command of the British army in the retreat of Corunna, after the death of Sir John Moore, whose burial is rendered immortal by the pen of Charles Wolf. The stories of the bravery and sufferings of the British troops in that disas trous Campaign, were remembered and told again and again, long after the memory of most of tho events of his life were obliterated. He came to this ceuntry in 1818. and lived in Delaware, Virginia, and Philadelphia, until 1839, when with most of his children he came to this county. Ono son has been in Cape-Town, South Africa, for more than thirty years, a printer, and con- Elected with the Journals and public offices of that place. His wife still survives, and though his junior by less than two years, is very feeble, and both blind and deaf, and can not long sur vive. She is patiently waiting the Lord's will, has long been anxious to "depart, and be with Christ which is far better." When told that her 'husband was . dead, she said, she wished her time had come. When young they both united with the Scotch Kirk, and in religion and mann ers, were intelligent and polite. He has gone where they never grow old, and where " there is no more death."

Writers upon Botany are commonly obscure in their treatment of a branch of natural history which ought to be familiar to all. They have been addicted to the pursuit of their subject In fields far removed from the reach of the novice; in other words, those who have prepared books of this kind for Schools, have strayed away into un known fields after unknown flowers. Prof. Gray, of Harvard, with a fund of common sense which entitles him to high rank among educators, hpus, prepared a Botany fOr Schools which starts from the garden, pursues its way through our doer yards, and by easy steps carries the pupil tri umphantly forward to the higher walks of. the solemn. Prof. Gray separates the vegetable world into families with familiar names, and makes the• Lati n. and Greek terms secondary. It is not too mach .- to say that the girl of ten years may take Gray's Botany, and with very little l aid from the teacher, may.set out from the garden and walk into the region of Orchids by such easy steps, that her ,wonder will be that she needed a teacher at all.
