UNITED STATES SENATOR.

The numerous friends of Col. CURTIN may
feel assured that his acceptance of the office
of Secretary of State, will in no manner COM
promise his position as a candidate for the U.
S. Senate. He is still candidate, and in
justice to the friends who have SO ardently ad-
vocated his claims for that distinguished sta
ton, will remain so.
We have an ardent desire to see Col. Curtin
elected to the l.. $. Senate. Not only be-
cause he is personal friend, but there is no
man in the State who could represent US with
more ability and honor, nor one who has
stronger claims to the position. His services
during the late contest, his character, stand
ing, and qualifications. all point to him as the
man. He is undoubtedly the candidate of the
people, and the election of any other man will
fail to give general satisfaction.

at Philsdelphia, and prepaid, are re-stamped
at Woodland, and five cents additional postage

minions, do just as they please, and We must

From the Sandwich Islands.

Just previous to our last advices, the British
Consul had secured an audiancc with the King
and messenger was forthwith dispatched for
Prince Alexander, by his order, for the imme-
diate return of the Prince, and every one in
the secrets of the Government, Were confident
that the treaty would be signed in avery few
days after his return; because, when he left on
his journey, the policy of the English Gov
ernment now developed, had not transpired;
and, as he depended upon the assistance of
that Government to avert annexation to the
United States, he will, it is believed, on see-
ing the futility of that hope, no longer COM
bat s:destiny." Our readers may therefore,
very soon expect to be called upon TO hail the
accession Of this Island State to the American
Republic.

SECRETARY OE STATE.

The public, and especially the people Of this
portion of the State, will be glad TO hear the
announcement Mt which We make this morning
by authority, that Col. A. G. Curtin has con-
cluded to accept the office OF Secretary of
State, which has been rendered him by Gov
ernor POLLOCK. That he has done SO only at
the urgent solicitation of his friends to pro-
mote the harmony of the party, and contrary
TO his own desire and inclination, We kao,p,
and may therefore safely state. He was not
an applicant for the office-it was rendered to
him voluntarily, and he was urged to accept it
in such manner, and for such reasons as left
him other alternative. 1t will rot change
his position in any respect, as candidate for
the United States Senate.
With such men as Gov. POLLOCK. and
Col. CURTIN at the helm of State, We may
safely anticipate one of the most able and
brilliant Administrations in the history of our
noble old Commonwealth. There are no two
public men in the State, whom We esteem SO
highly, or for whom have greater admira-
tion. and at the close of the Administration
the people will coincide with us, that the af-
fairs of Pennsylvania could not have been en-
trusted 10 abler hands.

From Havana.

Considerable Sc nsation was produced in Ha-
vana by the announcement that the American
schooners II. Smith and J. c. White, hailing
from New Providence, had been seized at
Baracoa, with large quantity of munitions of
war on board. OF course all sorts of rumors
were afioat respecting the intentions of these
vessels. Some ascribed their object to be Of a
filibustering character, and believed that the
arms had been sent out from the States to as
sist the patriots in overthrowing the govern
ment. Others alleged that the weapons cam e
from English ..philanthropists. and were in
tended to be placed in the hands of the slaves,
in order that, by 4 preconcerted signal, they
might rise throughout the island and massa-
ere their masters. Further information with
regard to this matter will be awaited with anx-
iety.
A reported outbreak at Principe had also
been the source of much excitement, but as
people are not allowed to talk Of such opera
tions, and the papers are not permitted to pub
lish any information that does not meet the
appreciation of the authorities, nothing defin-
ite was known respecting the affair. 1t is very
evident that the fire of discomfort and revolu-
ion is still raging in the breasts of the native
Cubans, and it is quite probable that we shall
hear of many outbreaks before the close of the
coming winter. The military force on the
island. however, is too strong to warrant the
hope that the patriots can possibly meet with
any constable degree of success. Without
material aid from the United States, any open
exhibition that they may make viii be speedi-
ly quelled.

THANKSGIVING.

This (Thursday) is the day set apart for
Thanksgiving and praise. throughout the Com
monwealth. Should it not rather be one of
gloomy fasting and prayer. True, We have
much for which to be thankful but there is
much more over which to mourn, teaching US,
more forcibly than the armed fleets and serri-
ed hosts that are disturbing the peace of the
other hemisphere the providence and sorer-
eighty of God. The past year will long be
celebrated in history for its disasters and
Affections. The millions of produce destroy
ed by the drought,-the disasters by fire, by
railroads, by river, and by sea,-the pestilence
that wasteth at MONDAY, the unparalleled
tightness of the money market, and the pros
pect of hard winter, fill the land with wall
ings and tears. When We seat ourselves at
our thanksgiving dinner, let US not forget that
before sold winter" again rolls over US, many
a poor suppliant for beneyolence and mercy,
may die for want of the crumbs that fall from
our table. God help the poor.

From England.

There has nothing transpired in England Of
consequence. The Paris Constitutional has
along and temperately written editorial on the
friendly relations which should exist between
the United States and France, but which it
says are damaged by the indiscreet conduct of
Mr.. Soule, whose acts the Constitutional
thinks are generally repudia.ed by the people
Of the United States. The Paris correspon-
dent of the London Times says: II am in
formed that the French Government have in
their possession positive evidenc of the par
ticipation of Mr.. Soule in some vast plan for
revolutionizing nearly the whole of Europe
1t is even added that those plans occupied the
attention of the diplomatic Congress at Os-
tend

THE NEWS,
From the War.

The Russians, to the number of thirty thou
sand, had attacked the ports Of Balaklaya, and
after severe battle routed the English cavalry
with the loss of 500 horse. Other dispatches
state that after hotIy contested battle the
allies remained masters of the field. The news
is entirely obscure. The Russian dispatches
say the allies have suffered two several defeats,
viz: the French had their works destroyed and
sixteen guns spiked, while the English cavalry
had been attacked at Balaklava as above stated,
and routed with severe loss.
In the recent attack upon the forts at the
mouth of Sebastopol harbor. the vessels Of the
allies were much damaged. The British are
said to be within 300 yards from the Russian
works. The French works are not strong
enough, and have been much injured. A de-
serter stated that ithe Russian loss was very
great The supply of water was beginning to
fail in Sebastopol.
Menschikof had gone out to meet a large
body of troops said to be advancing, in order
to expedite their movements as much as pos
sible. The Cars two sons had arrived in the
Crimea. The reserve of the Imperial Guard,
numbering 30 900 men had received marching
orders, and would shortly move towards War
saw, their new headquarters. On the arrival
of the Guards the total number of troops con-
centrated on the Austrian frontier will num-
bar 166 900 men.

hands, sums amounting to $4,000 ,OOO He is
in custody. An examination has taken place

also been arrested, charged with having fraud
ulently taken away books and papers, and
monies belonging to the treasury-in particu-
lar, the sum Of $3.50, 900 in city warrants,
which remained unaccounted for by him. His
defence was, that the newly elected treasurer

since, that the Indiana Mail left Curwensville
on Thursday, but We're under the impression
that it started out on Friday morning. Hence
for sometime past we have been sending the
packages for that route, on Thursday evening.
We deem it proper to make this explanation

has already more sins Of its own to bear than
it can conveniently carry. Hereafter the mat

appointed by the Bishop in defiance of the
CO ngregation, and were directed by him TO
build the school house in the rear of the
church. s
The two principal points at issue are; lst.
Does the Canon Of the church give the Bish-

tees?
I'd. Whether deed or gift oil property to
the Catholic Church ..for pous uses inclu-
ded for the use of school house.
On the first point the canons of the church
and DEGREES of the Plenary Council OF Balti-
more, were cited to show. that all churches
are in the possession of the Bishop, and sub
ject to his authority, and that neither Priest
nor the s:faithful, are to appoint trustees
without the authority of the Bishops. Two
Priests, Father Butler and Father Kuhr tes-
tilted that such was their understanding of
the canons, and such was the common prac-
tice Of the church. l} IS lem an .rsros. .a

= THE NEW YORK ELECTION.

The returns Of the New York election are
still, to some extent, uncertain. But the re-
.joicing Of the rumites-the friends Of Seymour,
has suddenly ceased, and there is but little
doubt Of the Election Of MyRos Il. CLARK,
Whig, by about 1000 majority. Thus the last
crunbling foothold of Locofocoism has been
swept away. Verify they're in bad box.
