A prominent nelnber ofrhe Pitt eburgh bar. who
Minister ~P1enpaentiarss to Rassia under
President Tyler's adninis ration, and is bow
Judge in the United States Court, was candi-
date for Congress in this district, Oh tiFc defhe-
cratic ticket, at the late election. He was known
co be opposed to the Mune Law, but thought
proper to prove his faith by his works on the day
OF election and succeeded SO thoroughly that his
friends found it necessary to take him out of the
gutter and convey him home. He is frequently
seen reeling through the streets beastly intoxi-
Gated.
There was heavy vote poed il. favor Of tie
Maine Law, and if the Wings and Free Demo-
Gratis had united on the temperance issue, instead
of placing TWO sets of temperance candidates in the
field, they would have succeeded.
Some excitement was created here few days
since, by the suspension Of Rev. Mr.. Kennedy of
the Covenanter Church, for the enormous crime
of using Watts Psalms, on one occasion in his
church at Chicago, instead Of Rouses version, the
one enjoined by the Church. The Presbytery
held special meeting here, and went through alb
the formula Of q criminal court. Rev. Mr..
Black, with much pomposity, speaking in behalf Of
the Church, and against the culprit, remarked that
the crime was Uery Gggracat'Hg, inasmuch as their
Church at Chicago is small and wsukIy, and if the
little differences of psalmody, &C., are not obsery
ed, there is an end Of Church distinction tn aai
place! What pity The criminal is cast ont
as unfit to preach the gospel. Wonder if these
men ever heard of The animal, that gagged at e
gate and swallowed saw-mill."
Yours, PHIL GARLICK.

War News +!

The Steamer Baltic is just in. The war news
is conflicting First we informed of an arrnis-
tice between the Turks and Russiane. Second,
that a satisfactory note was despatched to Con-
stannople, aud from this sprung the report of the
armistice. TLird, that Omer Pasha had crossed
the Danube at Widen, anu occupied Kalapat,
meaning 10 attack the Russians in open field.
Fourth, that 0C00 Russians crossed the Danube
near Widen on the 28th, without collisions.
The Russians had retired back again.
The London Times has dispatches from the
city Of ConstantinopIe 10 the 2ed Oct, saying the
Austrian Envoy had submitted a draft to the Sui
tan of no,e from the four powers, the note having
been previously accepted by Russia. The Times
still thinks that negotiations may prevent genera
war.

Fire at the PenItentinry.

+, At half FIVE O'Clock, on Saturday evening. the
north end of the work shop, on the west side of
the square. in the Penitentiary yard, was dis
covered 10 be on FIRE, and before it could be got
under. about one half Of the buldings was destroy
ed. The fire communicated to a large pile of lum-
ber, belonging to Hall and Brown contractors, and
also dry house belonging to the Ohio Tool Co.
The timber was designed for scythe snathes. &C.,
and was dry. By the active efforts of company of
prisoners and a few citizens the most of the pile
was removed. though several cords were burned
The dry house had just been filed with 5 600
pieces of timber, three feet long by four inches
sauare, designed for plane wood. portion Of these
were saved. The part of the shop consumed was
that occupied by Hall & Brown. Their loss will
be several thousand dollars, as they had large
amount of material consumed, also their valuable
machinery, and fine steam engine. We are
glad TO Lsar that they are insured to the amount
Of ten thousand three Souths their loss, through
the suspension of business by the destruction
Of their machinery, &C., will be heavy loss,
which cannot be reached by insurance. The Tool
Company offered one of the FIRE companies one
hundred dollars ifthsy would save their dry house,
but it was not done till portion, at least, of the
contents were consumed The evening was still,
or the whole row of shops on the west would have
been destroyed, and there would have been danger
Of it's communicating to the main buildings. The
prisoners mostly in their cells, and were kept
there during the fire. There is no doubt that the
fire was set by some conviets, just as they were
leaving their work for the evening 1t is evid-
ent that the fire in the State House yard, ,on Thurs
day evening, was also the work of design. The
loss to the State win be three or four thousand
doars.-C Columbus Journal 7iA.

Uncle Tom akisOng the B'hoys'
Tho spread aud progress of anti slasers senti-
fnent among the masses in the South are aston'sh-
ing.
Uneie Toms Cabin was played last Saturday
night, to an ossrf8owing- house at the National
Theatre, Philadelphia. The Register subsoins
the following pertinent remarks, relative to the
audience and the spread of anti-savsry feeling a
rnonp cless who heretofore have been bitterly
pro-slayery:
..ProbabIy the most extraordinary scene ever
presented in our theatrical annals was witnessed at
fhe National ca Thursday evening. upon the ocea-
sion of the production of uncle Toms Cabin as
dramatized by E. S. Harris, Of that theatre. The
pecularity was net only the character OF the play
bus of the audience which Witnessed the psrfor-
nance. and the manner in which it was received.
The rough, steyn and sinewy democracy were
there in great numbers. filing the best seats and
quietly awaiting the progress Of the exhibition Id
company with the more polished and educated
They were present in theis popular summer aP-
parsl, shirts and .rowsers, without the embarras-
nent of coats or vests, their neither hablilments
rolled up above their b6oss, and the fashionable
cloth scu-caps on their heads. Every bench and
alley was crowded. The upper tiers were tumid
with the closely packed masses. and in the CALLER
les the white teeth and large eyes Of the African
population presented cssp d oea, which was GER
tainIy uncommon.
II was strange thing to see such an audience
gathered to see s.ch piece. Fifteen years ago.
the predecessors of the same rough assemblage
which now await the advent of Uncle Fom would
have been foremost in an Abolition riot. The bro
ken panes and sacked dwellings of ST. Mary, Ship
pea and Bedford streets, were. in former years,
the triampbs Of the predecessors of the same class
who now were awaiting in anxiety the performance
of drama. in which the negro was hero and the
white man the oppressor. Extraordinary muta-
tion indeed, which less than the cycle Of single
generation transfers the rioter into sympsl hser.
The progress Of the play was sufficient to ex-
cite the anomalous audience to strong feelings in
favor Of the oppressed race. Esory ailusiou to
freedom on the part of the solored dramatis Perso
nae was received with shouts of appreciation. and
and every sentiment which conDseed resistance
TO the Shareholder was echoed with yells of ap-
bause. In portions Of the play individual senti-
ment was shouted forth by some such expression
as "Good egs,' "Give it to him." and other tokens
of genuine good will. The cheers were frequent.
The fate of George Harris and Eliza was watch
edwth intense interest, and if Uncle Tom had
only been fighting man, he would have elicitsd a
frenzy of wild hurras. Taken altogether, the first
representation of .Uncle Toms Cabin. was tri-
umph in q new field, and whatever the influence
Of that novel, whether for evil or good, it has by
this play extended among class whose benIty
sympathiss are no: mere idle feelings"
