AZ Work i'm RerlxS.

The Wings of the old keystone are
going to work with a spirit-thcy have
such good material to work upon From
all parts OF the State the demonstrations
are most favorable. In old Berks, the
stronghold of Locofocoism, the READING
10I/rlaS says" the Wings were never
IN n better spirits than they are at present.
From every district we have the most
cneerlng accounts, while in Reading the
feeling in favor of JOHNSTON, STRoHM,
and the Wing JUDICIAL TICKET, amounts
TO a degree of enthusiasm rarely equalled
IN past contests"

The F'ree-Soil folks of Lynn, (Aass.) hav-
ing determined upon having State Conven-
ton like others, met few evenings since to
elect delegates. Abby Folsom, the inevitable,
was on hand of course, and made speech
"of great eloquence and power" Aunt Nab
by was very cordially received, and moved
several important resolutions one of which
was that half the delegates to the Convention
be females The motion is said to have struck
the meeting favorably; but whether it was or
was not carried we don't know In the course
of her speech Abby declared herself clearly
and distinctly in favor of John P. Hale for
President and some prominent Free-Soil wo-
for VicePresdent. We should not like to
commit ourselves to Hale, but we cotton to
the othar candidate, be she whom she may !;
indeed, it is not of the slightest consequence.

Auti-bank Constituency.

The Locofoco organ Of Susquehanna couR.
ty has ceaselessly been denouncing Judge Jes-
sup, because he was Director Of the Susque-
hanna Bank, when it went into operation,
but resigned soon after, although the Bank
stood in good credit for years after. The Re-
.risier states that Chase, the editor of the or
gan, on tse lst instant, voted for delegates
pledged for Henry Webb for sheriff, of that
county, said Web haping, been DirGctor
IN the Bank acken 1t crpgoded!!!
The Register says:
The burden of their song against Judge
Jessup is, that he ,cds once Director, which
Office he resigned six months before its
waddling clothes had been removed. Thev
cannot vote for him because he transferred
his stock, when st. John came here and COM
menced that system of discountng by which
the Democrat" was sustained and the Coun-
ty swiDdled. But yet they can vote for
man who was Director when the thing
"vanished into thin air." and the fnanciering
of Bocofoco anti-bank men scourged the coun-
tyi Verify, some men can throw conscience
and truth to the dogs when party requires it.
1t is all the basest hypocrisy--the fimsest
demagogueistn. Beautiful consistency, in
deed Advising adj to vote against man
who happens to be on the Wing ticket, and
voting yourself for man who, if any body in
town is obnoxious on bank grounds, is among
the chief offenders IDs

Thomas Riley, David Rareton, and John

ward of $500 is offered for their arrest.
They are of Irish origin and described
as follows: Riley is of medium height,
thick set, light complexion, freckled face
and red hair.

Riot and Loss Life.

! A riot took place on Thursday last, Ilth inst
at Christiana, about miles from Parkesburg
on the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad
The facts as near as we can obtain them from
/ the Philadelphia papers, are these; The diff
fculty arose in consequence ola slave owner
and his son attempting to arrest a fugitive
slave. When the owner appeared in the
presence ofthe slave, the latter shot him dead
The next moment the son levelled a pistol
and killed the slave, and Immediately anoth-
er colored man shot the son, and the mob
collected and killed the second colored man.
During the sanguinary conflict, an officer
from Philadelphia was wounded in the shoul-
der by a pistol or musket ball. 1t is also stated
that two other persons are missing, aud are
supposed to have been killed by the friends OF
the, alleged slave. a great deal of excite
ment prevailed.
The murderers are thought to have escaped
towards Philadelphia The police officers
are on the look out. 1t is hoped they will
succeed in capturing them, and handing them
over to the care of the proper tribunals.
OF The city papers of Monday contain
further particulars, the examination before the
Coroner, DC, but we have not room for de-
tatails. On Friday, the authorities of Lam
caster arrested eleven persons (two of them
whtes) and lodged them in Jail. On Satur-
day, the United States authorities twenty
four more, and lodged ten ofthem in Moyamen-
mensing prison-several being discharged after
examination. Several of those in prison were
committed on a charge of treason against the
United States. The verdict Of the Coroner's
Jury, upon the body of the man (GorSuch)
killed, was that Z" on the morning of the Ilth
inst, the neighborhood was thrown into an
excitement by the deceased and five or six
persons in company with him, making an at
tack upon family of colored persons living
at salisbury Gap, about four O'Clock in the
morning, for the purpose of arrestng some
fugitive slaves, as they alleged. Many of the
colored people of the neighborhood collected
and there was considerable firing guns, &C.
by both parties upon the arrival OF some Of
he neighbors at the place, after the III
OF had subsded, found the deceased lying up
on his back or right side, dead. Upon post
mortem examination upon the body of the said
deceased, made by Drs. Patterson and Martin,
in our presence, we believe he came to his
death by gunshot wounds that he received
IL the above mentioned riots, caused BY sone
person or persons to US unknown"
Up to the latest hour we hear of no further
deaths but the one above referred to, though
the wounds of his son are said to be mortal.

Executlve EmtercessIor,.

The annexed statement, which appeared
in the Republic ofthe 10th inst, makes known
the steps taken by the PRESIDENT in be-
half Of the Cuban prisoners. Every body
must wish success to his benevolent efforts:
Upon the receiptofthese Captain PLArr's)
dispatches, the PRESIDENT directed copies to

to enforce an appeal already made to that
Government, now since the leader of the ex-
pedition has been cut off, to deal mercifully
with his deluded followers, who were enticed
into the invasion under the belief that the
people of the Island were already in a state
of revelation, and desired assistance to estab-
lish a Republican Governments state of
facts which, had it existed, could not have
justified their conduct, either in view of our
own statutes or of the law Of nations, but the

Cranberry Cr0D.

We learn that the cranberry crop is promi-
sing, this being the bearing year. But the
market for this kind of fruit is now SO exten-
sive that it is doubtful whether it can be full
ly supplied. The berries are mostly picked
by squaws, although cranberry rakes are be-
ginning to be used. Cranberry dealers go 10
the marshes with supplies of bread, -four, cal
icoes, and whatever is wanted for the Indian
trade, and exchange their goods by barter
with the squaws. as they bring in their sacks
of cranberries The business commences in
September, and may continue until the marsh
es are frozen. Year before last there were
shipped from st. Paul more than 10000 BUSH
els of cranberries, which found market all
the way down the coast of the Mississippi
river to the mouth, and in the West India is

The Coming of Kossu,h.

Mayor Kingsland, of New York, has
received a letter from John 2. Brown, of
our Legation at Constantinople, confirm
ing the facts in regard to the liberation
OF kossuth. The illustrious exile has de-
clared his intention to come to this coun-
try, on board the U. S. steamer Mississi-
pl, and will probably arrive here by the
Ist OF November. He will be aceompa-
MED by all the refugees who were with
him at Kutahia, except Count Batthyani
and his wife.
The n. Y. Councils are making arrange
ments to receive the illustrious exile in a
manner, worthy of his great deeds and
his world-applauded merits. The recep-
ton or Kossuth upon the American shore
will be day to be remembered; nothing
will be spared by the opulent city of New
York to impart surprising interest to the
imposing ceremony.
