Em porium is a villago cf some six hundred inhabitants, and is the county scat of Cameron County. Nearly all the hous es have been built within tho past two years, indeed all tho villages along the route date from the completion of the railroad. The land in this vicinity is mainly owned by the Philadelphia Land Company, which has yet done nothing towards developing tho coal. This company has built a fino hotel and is now erecting a block of four stories. Hamilton, Curtis & Co,, of Hath, aro erecting a large tannery which will bo in operation this coming fall.

This is very liberal on the part of Mr. Stevens, especially as the money docs not come out of bis own pocket, (how much of it might possibly find its way in there wc do not pretend to say !) and, under other and different circum stances might bo well enough ; but in view of tho fact that the country is al. ready burthertcd with a dept of Three Thousand Millions of Dollars, and that we have thousands of Foldiers who do- servo a liberal bounty from tho govern mcnt, we think tho proposition exceed ingly ill-timed and out of place. If tho Treasury has anything to spare, let the surplus bo given to tho gallant men who volunteered without foe or reward, id defence of tho Union, in tho first two years of tho war, so as to place them on an equal footing with those who enlist cd in 1803 and 1801.

Made Hnppy Under Protest-A Reluctant Urido groom. Tho man who is wretched upon tho " happiest day of his life," must be un fortunately circumstanced. The man who, immediately after tho ceremony is performed which binds him to a beauti ful woman, coolly takes bis hat and po litely bids his bride a permanent " good evening," evidently docs not apprcci. a to tho bliss resulting from a marriage ceremony. This pieco of unapprccia. tivc coolness was transacted by a gentlo. man of our city on Wednesday evening. On that evening a wedding transpired under circumstances that caused con. sidcrablc quiet commotion among quite a largo circle of our citizens. Tho bridegroom is a gentleman quito cxtcn. sivcly known among our business men. The bride is a lady who has been foinc what largely known in society. The acquaintance between tho parties com menced a considerable timo ago, and ripened speedily into intimacy. The intimacy grew to attachment, and their love was unfortunate. A considerable period elapsed between tho timo when the wedding should have taken place and tho timo when it actually occurred. The bridegroom was strongly discoscif i to delay it still longer, but the friends of the lady decided that tho ceremony must take place, and must take place on Wednesday evening. Tho gentleman in question had been for some days out of the city, and was expected back on Wednesday. During tho day several of the gentlemen friends of tho lady were present at tho depot waiting for tho ex pected arrival. At length tho gentle man came, but unseen by the watchers, and proceeded quietly to bis boarding, house, where he sat down in peace to his supper. Before bo had finished his meal bo was summoned to the docT to to' ttlfio IrSfficF ot TneYa'uy" in' cfiTe. tion. A conversation ensued, during which tho brother asked bis acquain tance if be were gentleman enough to marry tho lady, and if ho would marry her on that evening. Alter some con sideration affirmative answers wero re. turned, and tho promised bridegroom departed to find a clergyman. I he minister he sought was conducting a prayer meeting, but tho groom passed through the congregation and whisper ed his errand in the clergyman's ear. A substitute to conduct the meeting vtas called by tho reverend gentleman, and ho left for tho scene of tho wedding. Meantime, a number of friends, male and female, had assembled at tho bouse of tho bride's" lather, and when tho clergyman and his companion arrived, preparations wero made for tho immedi ate performance of tho ceremony. Bride and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen, ranged themselves in order, and the ceremony that bound man unwillingly to felicity was briefly pronounced, lm- modiately upon its conclusion the nus. baud took his bat, stated that bo bad an engagement elsewhere, bado bis bride aud tho company good evening, aud has not since returned.

J. F. MOORE, Publisher. TESl.lIS-l SO I'er IYr in lIrnncc Mexican Afl'airs. What is called tho Liberal pajty bave been gaining sonio advantages in the northern portion of Mexico. On the 23d ultimo tho French abandoned Mat- anioras, and the Liberals took possession of tho city and occupied it with their troops. This is an important point, and would bo of great advantage to tho Lib. erals if they wero in a condition to prof it by tho capture. It is a commercial port, but the Mexicans have po com. mercc. Tho industry, of the country has been prostrated by the extortions practiced by conflicting factions, rev olution ha3 followed revolution, and whether tho reins of government were in the hands of Santa Arna, Ortega "or Juarez, tho result was'alike unfortunate to the real interest of the nation. Men wero detached from tho productive walks of life, and converted into soldiers or camp followers, thieves aud . vaga bonds, and at tho samo time taxes were imposed and levies made upon the trade, business and capital ot tho country of such a character as to cripple and crush them into comparative nothingness. The Empire has not mended the matter. Tho contest still continues, and tho re. sources and revenues of the nation will not revive while war continues, and hence, even the possesion of commer. cial ports will bo of little value to the Liberal party. Maximilian still holds tho governing power, and he will not allow commercial intercourse with a port in tho hands of a party who op pose his administration aud aro in arms against his authority. Tho Emperor of tho Frcnoh may withdraw his troops from Mexico. Ev cnts in Europe may hasten that event. If so, what then ? Who of all tho rival ' chiefs and aspirauts can consolidate the factions which beset and curse Mexico and lead them in a harmonious hnAv raiafcfJ'uVfiSCufRVZuu'Vcriouhci ed him as a " dictator," opposed to fed eral sovereignty and popular authority. Juarez and bis party are warring upon Ortega and bis friends and, adherents with almost as much bitterness as they lo upon the Austrian and French pow. cr, and Santa Anna is endeavoring to thrust his oar into the matter, when all the evidence show3 that that he favored the French project at tho start, and openly advocated tho placing of Maxi milian upon tho throne- With such proofs of national disintegration, the flight of the present head of the Mexi can empire will uot open a very brilliant prospect for the real Iriends of Mexican independence aud progress. It is probable that tho drift of events in Europe may wedge Franco and Aus tria so far asunder as to compel a sepa ration of tho Mexican partnership, even if Napoleon had not diplomatically an. nounccd his intention of withdrawing his troops from that country. With such a prospect in view all parties in Mexico should 'prepare for the duties that such an event will occasion. But years of misrule and bad government have quenched tho fire of patriotism in tho bosoms of tho masses, and they seem to be the same people whether a king, an emperor, or a military tyrant rules over tho country. Unless they arouse from this state of national col. lapse, tho withdrawal of the French troops will ho of no practical benefit. Phil. Age.

On tho 15th, Saxony had been invaded by Prussian troops, who captured Dres den on tho ISth. Several smaller town had been occupied by the Pruinn- and a battle bad taken place at Fieibur in which a regiment of tho Federal ar my was almost totally dettroved. The railways have all been seized, and ras. senger traffic is interdicted. The King of Saxony (. has retired into Bohemia with his army. Hanover has also been occupied by tho Prussians, and any movements that might have been tnad by that Power to aid Austria are' frus trated. A strong Russian force is on tho Austrian frontier, ready for action iu caso I'rauccmakcs any aggressive movement. Should this In Hussion neutrality will not bo maintain ed.

Forney resists this ar rangement, and swears Geary shall run, and that defeat can't hurt him.
