On Saturday night last about o'clock, a
barn of Mr.. VIM. Ii. Hughes, VINO resides / J
miles east of this place, was discovered to be on
IRE and in very short time was burned to the
ground and all its contents consumed. The fire
lit up the heavens for miles around, and num-
ber of our citizens and his neighbors were
promptly on the ground, and finding that their
efforts to save any of the property within the
barn were entirely useless, they done what they
could TO preserve from injury the fences and
adjoining buildings and were quite successful
The fire was doubt the work of an incendia-
ry as there had been no lantern in use at the
barn since the previous Monday. The barn
was entirely new and cost about $1,000. 1t
contained IL to 10 tons of hay, so doz wheat
$50 doz. oats, quantity of rye, barley, peas
buckwheat and corn. Also three head Of horses,
three setts of harness, two saddles and brides,
and all his farming utensils except wagon.
Two thousand feet of dry boards and three kegs
Of nails for his new house were also DESTROYED.
Samuel Baxter and John II. Hughes had lot
OF carpenters tools burned, worth about SIS.
Mr.. Hughes is hard working, industrious and
excellent citizen, and has met with a severe and
sudden loss, but as he is still in the prime of
life, and as there is no such word as fail, he
eau, with his usual industry and perseverance,
recover from its effects in few years He
loses about $4,000 altogether. No insurance on
the property.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer of Monday,
we clip the following telegraphic despatch:
ROCHESTER, Oct. 25.-Great excitement was
produceds here, to-day, in consequence of the
appearance of new but very dark feature in
the political arena. The Whig District. Conven-
ton met, this Afternoon, for the purpose of
nominating candidate for the Assembly : and
on the first ballot it was ascert1ined' chat J. p
Miliner, white man, had forty-four votes; Fred
Douglass, black man, twenty-one; scattering,
thirty-four. Mr.. Milliner was finally nominated
by one majority.
'.Can such things be, and overcome us like
summers cloud, without special wonder?"
Verify, we have fallen upon evil times, and as
this affair needs comment, it is only asked
that every white man should read it and see
what inroads negroism is already making in our
midst

Our foreign files by the last steamer. contain
many interesting items, in addition to the ordi-
nary news of the day. The Kossuth Address to
the Democrats of Marseilles, continued to excite
profound sensation. The government papers
OF France denounce II III bitter charge
that it embodies gross insult upon Louis Ma
poleon- One or two of the London journals also
take exceptions to it on similar grounds The
European Times says
g The insult offered to Louis Napoleon appears
to have sunk deep. The address of Kossuth was
received with prodigious enthusiasm by all the
Democrats of Paris and France. In fact it
created so much sensation that his friends in
London have written TO the journals in the me-
tropolis, explaining that Kossuth was totally ig-
norant of the French language, and could not by
any possibility mean to convey the reproach and
insult his language indicates against Louis Ma
poleon, This excuse is evidently put forth by
Lord Dudley Stuart, who is the patron of Kos
suth in London, and his lordship finds himself
not n little perplexed by this outrageous Demo-
eratical sincerity, connected as he is with the
Bonapartes, having married a daughter of Lu-
Glen, Prince of Canine. The Corporations of
London, Bath, Southampton, and other towns
have voted addresses of congratulation to Kos
suth, which generally are couched in terms ex-
pressiye of admiration of the Hungarians during
the contest with Austria, avoiding much allusion
personally to Kossuth himself - "
General Changarnier, it is now said, will be
candidate for the Presidency of France. He will
be brought forward by the Legitimists The
Prince de Joinville has declined proposition to
be candidate for the Assembly from one of the
Northern Districts ..'. Haa -
1t is stated that an Hungarian oficer-one of
the few refugees allowed to remain in Paris-on
hearing that Kossuth was on the eve of visiting
England, felt anxious to see him, and applied
for a passport for that purpose The French
authorities offered him passport, but gave him
distinctly to understand that if he visited Kos
suth in England he would not be allowed to re-
turn to France
The Presse announces fact, almost surpas-
sing belief, that the Peuple newspaper, of Mar
seilles, has been seized for having mentioned the
refusal of the Government to allow Kossuth to
pass through France. Several journals, never
theless, comment with feelings of shame and in
nation that France is beneath Turkey in point
which touches so closely the most delicate senti-
ments of men, whether as individuals or in their
collective capacity of members of great state

WASHINGTON, N'cloOeF Il.
communication was recently addressed to
our Government by Lord Palmerston, relative
to the expeditions alleged to have been fitted
out in ports of the United States against Cuba,
in violation of our treaty stipulations.
This communication was answered by Mr..
Crittenden, the acting Secretary of State, in a
paper marked for its dignity and high American
tone, intimating in very plain terms that Eng
land had better attend to the administration of
her own affairs.
This reply will probably tend to prevent all
further European interference, or will at least
warn foreign powers what may be expected if
they undertake to intermeddle in the concerns
of this government. This document reflects the
highest credit upon its distinguished author, as
well as upon the Administration which sane
toned it.

the British Mission here. He expects to receive

FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
HON. JAMES BUCHANAN.
Democratic County Conventions.
OF PENNSYLVANIA.

In another column will be found card, hand
ed US by the Chairman of the County Committee,
signed by himself and r. P. Linton, Esq, by a
reference to which it will be seen that they have
called upon the Committee and the late County
Convention to re-assemble on the 3rd Of Novem-
Der next. We think we can discern the true
object of this call, nicely baited it is, and we
warn the weI-meaning portion of that Conven-
ton to remain at home, as designing men desire
10 operate upon their feelings now, since the
defeat of their favorite candidate, VIM. kittell
Esq, for the express purpose of passing a reso-
luton instructing their Conferees to vote for
some particular individual as delegate to the
next State Convention. We have not been, nor
do We desire to be, guilty of saying an unkind
word against any citizen of this county, but we
would merely suggest and recommend to the
author of the despatch TO Alick Cummings of
the Phila. Evening Bulletin, Stating that Black
county, to allow the Democracy of Cambria to
manage their own affairs. They can do so with
cut the promptings of Simon Cameron or Boyd
Cummings. We are somewhat astonished that
-some of those men who feel SO deeply for the
defeat of candidate for highly important
county Office, have asord Of regret, no symptoms
OF sorTol0 for the defeat Of Hon. James Campbell
for an important State Office, nor do they say
cne single solitary word against those renegade
democrats in the southern part of this county
who voted against him. We advise our friends
in Bedford and Fulton to keep an eye upon their
proceedings in that quarter.

Hon. John Cessna,

The Somerset Visitoy, in alluding to the de-
feat of this gentleman, who was candidate for
the State Senate and defeated by only 42l votes
IN that strong whig district, says:
ale has the consolation of knowing that he
received cordial support from his political
friends; that their high appreciation of his in
tegrity, talenta and industry, led them to use
every honorable offort to elect him, and many of
hi, political opponents, justly appreciatirg him,
cast aside their party shackles and openly sup
ported him. We deeply regret that the servi-
ces of Mr.. Cessna are lost to the State, but
know that he is useful everywhere, and that he

Louis Napoleon.

Nearly all the leading French journals are
beginning to speak out in indignation, in rela-
ton to the atrocious system of tyranny which
Louis Napoleon is pursuing towards the press.
The Paris correspondent of the London Morning
Herald thinks that the Government has in view
something beyond the mere maintenance of or
der, and adds:
"Louis Napoleon has grappled with Journal
ism; he has bound it with fetters of iron, gagged
its mouth, cast it into prison, and cleared out
its pockets, and the people have applauded him.
The man who has done this has no notion, and
can have no notion of quitting power in 1852.
Had he any such intention he would not court
the deadly enmity of newspaper writers, who,
when once out of power, would not fail to cover
b,-n with scorn and ridicule, such as he could
ne;tbe,- return nor resent. If he has put dowI
journalism. he las done SO with political intent
He has removed an obstacle, and having done i
effectually he will remove others. .--s %,

A PROCLAMATION.

The President OF the United States has issued
his proclamation, in which he states that there
is reason to believe that military expedition is
about to be fitted out, in the United States, for
1.-THE purpose of invading the Mexican Republic,
with which this country is at peace; and he
tber.iG warns all persons who shall connect
tbemsc,ve, "; ;th any such enterprise, that if they
should be captu~ ~e within the jurisdiction of the
Mexican authorities, trey musteAPec' 10 De tried
and punished according TO 'he laws OF MEXICO
and they will have no right to claim the inter-
position of this government in t-'eir oehah-
This step is taken on account of news having
been received, from the Consul at Matal lnoEas'
that company of Texans were recently organ-
lied, and that other companies were about to be
formed, for the purpose of aiding Carayajal, in
his attempts to form the Republic of the Sierra
Madre. out of the States of Tampico, Tamauli-
pas, and others.

The BIOonier Dress.

A lady correspondent writes as follows to a
New York paper against the adoption of the
BloOmer dress. 1t is pertinent and powerful
text, thus quoted: - -..
q Much has been written and much more said
upon the BlOomer dress; but while every man,
woman and child claims hearing, the voice
that Numbered upon Sinai is all unheard and
unheeded: The woman shall not wear that
which pertaineth TO man, neither shall man
put on a woman's garment, for all that do so
are an abomination TO the Lord thy Cod
Such authority is not to be controverted, and
We do not know that any thing which might
be added would deepen its effect.-Bu6aIo
Courier.
This quotation from the Bible is part of the
local and ceremonial law of the Jews, and has
no more authority than the command to circum-
else children. Besides, the dress of the men in
those days, consisting of cap On the head, a
cape worn about the ders, and close tunic
fastened around the waist with belt and fall
ing to the feet resembled that of the women of
the present day; while the women of those
times, if they dressed as Kitto says they did,
like the female peasantry of Syria, actually
wore drawers resembling our trowsers, and a
tunic above fitting closely to the person, though
the whole was covered by long flowing robe
and veil. Nothing could be more ridiculous
than to attempt to decide such question by
such an appeal.

Royal Marriage I'm Nicaragua.

the nuptals of the Princess Adelaide Clotllda
Louisa Quashee, sister of the King of the Mos

Der lst 90 a.1s< -
"On the morning of the wedding, three hun
dred half-naked Indians made their appearance
at the main entrance that leads to the palace.
The princess had arisen. from her couch of ii
gers skins, and was standing at the main gate
of the palace, bare-footed and devouring new
plantain. The King soon made his appearance,
and addressed his subjects in the following ele-

lover had not yet arrived. The Princess became

Cedars and Pines of California,

A writer IN the San Francisco Herald gives
the following description of the pines and cedars
of the land of gold:
"Of all the wonders 1 have ever seen in the
vegetable kingdom remarks this observant
traveller, 50 nothing will bear comparison with
the magnificent and lofty growth of cedars and
pines, which embellish the hills and the noun
tains that lead and make up the Sierra Nevada
range. The magnifeence and grandeur of
scenes, in which these trees abound, cannot be
imagined by any man who has not seen them
and felt the and sublimity to which they
give rise. l have counted in circle of fifty
feet, thirteen pine trees, not one of which was
less than $50 feet in height, nor were any of
,'em marked by the slightest curve or inclina-
t;on. They are the inimitable and lofty monu-
nonts OF Nature, uninfuenced by sweeping
s,or,os and winds, unbent and undecayed by a
centurian .sge. Not ia limb or a knot can be
found upon tn eir bodies, until you reach the al
tituda Of from ON. hundred to two hundred feet,
hevond which beiphr they continue to grow,
until their towering majeA ty o'erh"es an sur
rounding objects. and affords a H' rei"se LOT
the noble bird which adorns the ba.HnSr oi our
country. NO ulan Can traHel through
scenes without feeling shat the grandeur OF
Omnipotence itself is teaching him his finite and
insignificant powers. Such was the moral in
fuence of those leviathan growths Of eedars
and pines, upon my mind, would not have
dared to have given entertainment to a fugitive
thought against the supremacy, wisdom, and
power of Jehovah. Such are the pine and cedar
forests of California, which cover an area of
hundreds, if not thousands, of square miles.

Havana, the substance of recent conversation
with Gen. Concha, the Capt. General of Cuba
He expresses a determination to recommend to
the Government of Spain, the immediate pardon
of the American prisoners on their arrival at
Lisbon He had only been prevented himself
from pardoning them by the outrages at New
Orleans, which had since been explained to his
entire satisfaction. He believed, also, that the
President of the United States had done all in
his power to prevent the invasion.
