Williamsport.

That Williamsport is in a growing anG
fourishing condition, admits of no dispute
but what We want to get at is this-the
causes which have produced a prosperity
30 widely felt and seen. In our humble
opinion, the causes are the rapid growth
of the lumber trade and an increasing dis.
position on the part of our citizens to
attend to their o,cn business. In years gone
by, when We were shedding the light Of
democratic truth thro' the columns of the
Lycoming Gazette, our own time and the
time of very large portion of our fellow
citizens was consumed in watching, or par.
ticipating in, the miserable political move.
ments Of the county. The election of an
auditor, or commissioner, or register, was
considered Of greater importance than the
agitation Of measures calculated to bring
work and wealth to our valley, and peace
and plenty to every fireside. When will
the masses learn that principle and Office
are generally at variance-that those fun
damental truths in self-government, origi.
mating solely with the democratic party of
this country, are immeasurably beyond the
reach and influence of that wretched strife
for place and power which has so long di-
vided and distracted our land? And when
will they learn to distrust the hollow pro-
fessions of your thoro' bred politicians
with falsehood in their hearts, hypocrisy
on their lips, and heartless sel6shness in
their acts !-Lycoming Democrat.

The Skunk Monument.

The ceremony of erecting the monument
over the remains of the late Governor
Skunk, at Trappe, Montgomery county,
Pa, on the 4th, was attended by from
eight to ten thousand persons, Of both sex
es. Two troops of horse, a company Of
artillery and eight companies Of infantry
and rifemen, with three German musical
societies from Philadelphia were present.
Hon. George w. Woodward delivered a
beautiful address, it is stated, in review
of the life of the lamented deceased, the
death he died, and the memory he has
left behind him. Gov. Skunk is buried
800 yards from the cottage of his lowly

ANOTHER VOLUME OF PuRE LITERATuRE.-Sone
months ago we noticed the interesting work Of Mrs.
Rush, Of Philadelphia, entitled "Rober. Morton"
We are happy to hear that II has been well re
ceiyed throughout the country, and that the amiabe
authoress has been stimulated to write another
work, which has just been published in Philadel-
phia, and which is called :" The Dew Drop of the
Sunny South" II is story written from every
day life and has the peculiar charm of Mrs. Rush's
mind infused into every page. 1t is such q work as
a mother can place in a daughters hand with the
assurance that il will have impro wing influence
upon the intellect and heart and quently upon
the In these days Of blistered styles and
exaggerated scenes, the simple incidents and unos-
tentatous diction Of this work by Mrs Rush, are
worthy Of very general attention and the gifted
authoress is wc-thily engaged in gaining an indie
pendence from her literary pursuits, it is to be
hoped that she will derive from the public .eneour-
agement to proceed in the department of letters in
which she seems destined to hold distinguished
rank. We presume that this work will be foun at
all the book stores, and trust that it will meet
with a sale equal to its merits.

--latest News by Telegraph.

The news from Washington is not very impor-
tants but the Cuban invasion, and the means taken
10 prevent it, seem to be the uppermost topics at
present at the seat Of the federal government The
charges against Mr.. Ewbank have been dismissed,
and like many other Investigations which occa-
eisnally called for, have ended in smoke that
Abe people must believe that everything at Wash
ington is conducted singly with view to the benefit
of the country, and not to individual desires. This
may be news to some persons, but these investiga-
hons force the conclusion upon us that Washington
IL the of dsinterested virtue and proprety, and
that no evil takes place in it. If men cannot be-
keve this, the only other conclusion is that it is
impossible to make any investigation result other
wise than to the perfect honor of parties charged
with misdeeds There is an assimilation in the re-
sults of Washington and Wall street transactions,
which is quite remarkable.
Ii will be seen that several wings and democrats
have been removed from the Land Office. This is
an active step, for which due credit will be given
when we learn the cause of it.
At New Orleans there has been some talk about
invasion Of Cuba, but no information ola reliable
character has been received with respect to any
thing beyond the merest rumor.
Our Geographic intelligence from Boston and Bal
timore is interesting. From Boston we have later

TIE SECOND ADVENT CONVENTION is the
Of the conventions of all the sns Of the day,
and Of oil kinds of spirts-black, white and grey.
Among the rest is the Second Advent Convention,
which has just completed its .sittings at Crosby
street Medical College. The doctrine Of the Sc
cond coming Of Christ upon earth, and his living
and roigning for thousand years in the New Jeru-
SALON, is believed by large number Of Christians
in this country, Of whom are still attached to
various denominations, while the others have separ
rated from the churches to which they belonged,
and formed themselves into independent religious
communities The great apostle Of this doctrine
in America was Miller, who said that Christ would
surely come in IS3 Some other lesser lights, since
his day. have fixed other dates, all which predictions
have been falsifed by time. The result upon the
Milleri.e movement was much the same as the
promise Of Daniel O'Connell TO the Irish peasantry,
that he would lay ais head upon de block and al
low them to chop IL of, If he would not obtain re-
peal for them in six months, provided they supplied
him with the rent, the sinews Of his moral
force war. Miller and OConnell are dead, and
neither the repeal nor the second advent have yet
come.
Within the last two years the Millente or Mien-
NAL movement has been revived and seems to be GO
ing ahead more, for great religious excitement
comes in periodical fits, like plaques and revolu-
tons. Lecturers and preachers have been travel
ling through the States arousing the churches from
their slumber, lest Christ should come suddenly
upon them, as thief in the night. Tracts are
circulated and plan has been adopted of ercoting
tents in the vicinity Of churches, in order to draw
away the congreg ations In order to carry out this
organization, and to devise other means Of propa-
eating the faith the Millerites have held the con-
vention to which we have already referred. II
seems that some Of the members do not want TO be
called Mllcrites, In consequence of the prejudice
against the name; while others openly avow
themselves Millerites in name as well as in
faith. and say that his only mistake was in
fixing the time too near. On the first day Of the
convention, one Of their prophets, Mr.. Reed, de-
caredhe was ready with positive proofs, to convince
them that Christ would come before the 2'd day Of
July next. 1t appears, from the proceedings Of
subsequent meeting, which We publish IN another
rart Of this days paper, that the convention
were not entirely satisfied with his proofs, and
kicked at the idea Of fixing another day, especially
20 soon. after many prophecies.of the same kind
turning out to be "a mockery, dclusion, and n
snare" When the ed day Of July arrives, we
