A Goon HlT.—One of the Abolition pa
pers puhltihed at Lancaster, in boasting of the
loyalty of that county, during the war, re
fers to the fact that they paid over two and
a quarter million dollars as bounties. The
reader will ruccoUect that this is the wealthi
est county m the Slaie,and this large amount
of money was ufTcrsd, to get so!Jier from
other counties, to fill their quotas, so that
the loyal citizens could not be shot at by the
rebels, n< w tbey clam that this kind of loy
ally crushed the rebellion. To which the
Clinton btmocrat replies, that the Loyalty
of Lancaster is uudieputei, and is of long
auauwg, that, that county during the Rev
olution turuihed more beet and provision to
tba toys! army of Georgia iba 111 , than all
the other counties it the State combined, and
this boast of loyalty is therefore no new thing
for that locally.

The SpriagflrM (Maaa.) Republican, an
able Republican paper, on this subject says :
If one of this class is appointed to any of
flee, or allowed to be a candidate for any
local position in the South, there is a hue
and cry raised about putting rebels in power.
The d<satifieJ do not seam to recognize any
validity ia the Executive amnesty and par*
don, i a at least fail to comprehend tbat they
involve ful! absolution. So if a man former
ly prominent at a rebel is placed in any po
sition by the Southern people, it is quoted
against them as evtdeooe of their "persistence
in rebellion. General Joe Johnston was
recently a candidate for the presidency of the
Dsnvilin railroad In Virginia, and a majority
of the atockholdars voted for him, but Gov
ernoi Pier pun t got the impression in some
way that hia selection woold give offense at
Washington, and so intimated to the stock
holders, and the vote of the State for its
stock was then g<ven to Buford, the other
candidate, thus electing him, Perhaps Rn
ford is the best uian for the position, but
Gen. Johnston is one of the most eminent
civil engineers in tberountr.,, and the stock
holders voted forh.m because they thought
he would best promote the interests of the
cum;>auy.
Now, if Geneial Johnston is to be allowed
to live and support h'inssif, it Is impossible
to give any good reaaoo for excluding bim
from 'i e profession which he ia beat fitted
We ueiibergct indemnity for the past nor
security for the future by excluding such
men f.vtn the business pursuits for which
tby are qual fied. Indeed, the employment
of thce mho were lately rebel commanders,
in peaceful pursuits, thus giving them a per
sonal interest in the tranquility of the coun
try. will manifestly prove an element in our
future security. General Johnston has since
been elected president/jf one of the railroads
ir Alabama, and it isjnot treasonable to hope
that he w:!| manage it well, and make money
| for hims-lf and the company. There has
been a gr~at deal of stup-d rhetoric expended
on the fact that General Lee has been made
President of Washington College in Virginia,
aud the trustees have been denounced.
THE NI-MBER or LAKCCAGCS—The leaat
Lamed are aware that there are many lan
guages m the world, but the actual humbler
is probably beyond the dreams of ordinsry
! p- pi-. The geographer, Bab:, enumerated
' eight hundred and sixty, which are entitled
| R > IK? cun-iJcrtd as distinct languages, and
five thousand which may be regarded as di
alects. Adrlung, another modern writer on
tnis subject, reckons up three thousand and
-ixy four languages and dialects existing, and
which have ex.sted. Even after we have al
i luwe 1 ei'hrr of these as the number of lan.
guagee, we must acknowledge the existence
of almost infinite minor diversities, for a!-
I iuot every province has a tongue more or
lcs p. :u!iar, and this we may well believe
! to I* the case throughout the world at large.
It la said there are little islands, lying close
together in the S uth Sta, the inhabitants of
wLich do not understand each ethor. Of the
eight bundrel and sixty distinct languages
enumerated by Bab*, fifty-three belong to
Eur -pe,one hundred and fourteen to Afriea,
one hundred and twenty three to Asia, four
hundred and seventeen to America, one
hundred arid seventeen to Ooeanica—by
wtiich term distinguishes the vast number
of islands stretching between Qiodooalaa

Ma EDITOR :
Let men talk as loudly aa
the) please about the age of progress, and
the superior advantages and conveniences of
the Rail Road, over the old fashioned stage
coach ; but when I beer them after this, b
will believe at oce;that they never rode in
a stage from Factoryville to Tunkhannock,
especially aa It waa my fortune to do upon
aa beautiful an autumn day aa ever broke
over theee hille to gladden the hearta of men.
It ia evident that the man who wrote, "What
ia eo provoking aa riding in a stage," must
have travelled on a different route. The
road winds along the banks of the stream,
and then raising ovrr the point of some of
the mountains that crowd too closely up>,o
its waters until you are far above the creek
which ia aeeo wending its way over the
rocky bed beneath your feet, then suddenly
changing its course it comes madly dashing
across the course of the road, but man, with
hie natural obstinacy, refuses to give way for
its wild praaks, and spans its rocky channel
with a substantial bridge which the horaes
thunders over, causing one to speculate upon
the probable result of taking a tumble in the
stream below. The mountains, which were
densely covered with woods, at this time,
presented one of the moat magnificent views
it was ever my lot to behold ; the frosts of
Autumn had turned the leaves of the differ
ent species of trees that covered them, uulil
the) presented more changeful and variega
ted hues than the rainbow. One in the dis
tance that towered above tbe rest, attracted
my attention which I afterwards learned was
tbe sentinel that watched over the destinies
of TuDk bannock lying at its base. But I
must not fail to mention the noted city of
Mumbocker, through which we passed, al
though some landmarks of its ancient great
oess yet remains, its glory is fast departing.
Its Major now slumbers with the dead, but
although the executive is gathered to bis fa
thers, the ministerial officer yet lives. Long
life to her ! How the mighty are fallen !
Even the veteran is growing old, sod Tunk
hsnnock boys can get s drunk as lords
without danger from bis "bUe." It was my
good fortune to see the celebrated "old white
hat." May it long repose as gracefully as
ever, on the sound bead of its present owner.
"Tbe rising generation" will never be able
to revive the pristine glories of "up tbe
creek." While these melancholly thoughts
were passing through my mind, we raised
over the point of a hill, when lo! almost at
oar feet appears the city of Tunkhannock,
that at this time presented a most beautiful
and attractive appearance with its cumber
less shade trees blushing at the approach of
stern old Winter,

Support the Democratic Press.
Our last Democratic State Convention
adopted a resolution of thanks to the Demo
ocratic press of Pennsylvania for their un
swerving devotion and zeal in the service of
the Democratic party during the four trying
years just past, and earnestly recommending
the piess to the better support of Democratic
voters. The resolution, says the Reading
Gazette, was | roper and just. We hsve
about ninety Democratic papers in Pennsyl
vania, which are carried on entirely by the
private means of their publishers, and in
many cases at a considerable annual loss
We have no patronage of any kind to ass ist
as in defraying the enormous expenses that
daily cunsume our earnings—nothing to de
pend upon but what comes ( from the laboring
masses. It should be, then, at the present
time, more than at any previous period, the
especial duty of every Democrat who has
faith in his party, and believes that its or
ganisation should be preserved, to stand by
and strengthen us by individual effort and
support- No subscriptions, contributions or
bounties ot any kind, is desired, lk'tnocralic
editors are not the men to be oouleut to livu
as pensioner* un the puree of others. All
they desire is, pay in g subscribers, and that
thai* of advertising custom which the busi
ness men of their party have ability to giv
them. To every Democrat, we would say
do all you can for your Democratic papers.—
TUey have been true to the party in day# of
Severest trial—they have resisted alike the
laltiuidaliuas of power, and the proffered
bribee of mercenary speculators. They de
serve, in return, the austsiotug aid of all who
value Democratic principles.
•elclde sf Hen. Preston King.
Nsw Yost, Nov. 14 —The eity was shook
ed this afternoon by the announcement that
11 on. Preston King, collector of the port, bed
oomunited snteide while laboring under a fit
of temporary tberation of mind. The (acts,
as far as ascertained, are behoved to be thee :
Last even tog he left hie room at the Aator
House, and, getting into a West street car,
rude up to the foot of Christopher street,
where he look the ferry boat for Hobtkeo.
Soon after tbe steamer left tbe slip, be was
seen to taks off his hat, and carefully placing
it on a teat, leap into the river. Notwith
standing the efforts made to rescue him, up
to this writing his body hat not been recov
ered, though parties are dragging all that
part of the river.
Tbe hat is identified as belonging to Mr.
King by his personal friends. It is stated
that h* purchased a twenty-five pound bag of
shot, which cannot now be found, it is tap
posed that he used the shot as weight to sink
himself, ss be did not rise to tbe snrfaee of
tbe water.

here, and has carried everything, to far high
er relative figures than gold, has not yet pen
etrated Canada, and smart men are making
their purchases for tbe winter in the colo
nial towns. In the little village of Windsor,
opposite Detroit, no less than eight large
clothing stores have lately beeu. eatab lished,
and are doing a large business.
Our merchants are making no more than a
fair profit on their goods, probably not any
more than Canadian merchants. The differ
erence in prices between Windsor and De
troit is directly traceable to the tariff, which
shuts out foreign goods and gives New Eng
land manufacturers a monopoly. For their
benefit the men are taxed in this ountry
fifty per cent on their trowser*, and the wo
men a larger amount on their petticoats. The
eotten and woolen manufacturer of New
England have been declaring enormous div
idends for the past four years, and yet we
are told that a protective tariff—and protec
tion in their dictionary means prohibition
must be contirned until their business is es
tablished. It is safe to say that their rapac
ity has already cost the people, under the
present tariff, five times the amount of rev
enue which the government has derived from
its tax on articles manufactured by them.
The government has ordered six steam rev
enue cutters to be employed on the lakes
for the prevettion of smugging. Consider
ing the discrepancy in prices between the two
countries, we think aixty-six would hardly
effect the pnrpese. We are very sure that
could a clothing store with the Windsor
prices be established within s mile of Chicago
something else than a river and a revenue
cutter and custom house officials would be re
quired to prevent very many of our citizens
from being better clothed than they are.
LT3T The following is a speech delivered
by Simon Cameron to a negro procession at
Harrisburg, on Tuesday last.
Mr. Cameron said, ' I never doubled that
the people ot African descent would play a
great part in thus struggle, and am proud to
say that all my anticipations bare been more
than realized. Your services, offered in the
early part of the war. were refused ; but
when the struggle became one of life and
death, then the couuliy gladly received you,
and tlauk God, you nobly redeemed all rou
promised. (Applause )
"Like all other men you have your desti
nies in your own hands, and if you continue
to conduct yourselves hereafter as you have
in this struggle, you will have all the rights
you ask fur, all the rights that belong to hu
man beings. (Applause.)
"I cannot close without saying that there
is at the heai of the natioual Government a
great man, who is ablo and determined to
deal justly with all. I knogr t hat with his

"When 1 hear so much said, as I now hear
said, of the sufferings of the blasks, I oufuss
that I sometimes feel that if it is so bad, I
wish they would not tell it." Just so Rut
having helped so largely in the devil's wurk
of bringing on the sufferings of the blacks, it
is right that he should hear it—every groan,
every shriek and wail of agony that arises
fros the starving, drifting, disease-ridden

A Goon Comparison —One of the New
York papers compares the publisher of a
newspaper who has to send to all parts of
ths country to collect hit pay, to a farmer
who wonld sell his wheat on eredit, and not
more than a single bushel to one person. If
any farmer will try the experiment of dis
tributing ths proceeds of his labor over two
or thre* counties, with an additional one or
two to far distant States, far one year, we
will guarantee that hs will never, aftei that
year's experience, ask a publisher to supply
him with a a year or two without pay
for it.

whiskey, he arose amidst an assembled crowd of
I loafer* and delivered a teuipereaee lecture that
won hi have drawn tears from tho eyes ot John B
tiough himsalf. Tho inetri try of his suffering the
night before, where he "would have troiea to death
it ha ha da been se angry," nan -tiki fresh in am
fltind. and eeeroeuenlPy Aia appeal* ware replete
with pathos At the conclusion of his lecture he
produced a%>. edge, and Dot only signed it huweif
but induced a fellow sinner to affix his autograph,
alao. Still unswtiatied, he rep ured to the bed ehaoa
ber of one of king alcohol's oldest veterans, and la
bored faithfully, though unavfiltagiy, with hits un
til past the witching hour of midnight. Hunky
boy ! Cont'nuo to labor in the good cause; Yoa
have the unqualified approval ■ f Town Talk, which
we know will console you for any loss you aay ex
perience in deserting a cause to which you have
heretofore been so devotedly attached. Remember,
hereafter, bar-keep, to be "virtuoua and yoa will
