We understand some objections have been
made to the publication of the cases tried in
our Quarter Sessions, and that some of the
parties have made threats to iniure us, if we
published their names. We have done so. and
if they desire TO carry their threats into execu-
tIon, we have no objection. We are not to be
intimidated by stheats' or sblows,' in the dis
charge of what we believe to be our duty as an
editor and whenever such characters under
take it, they viii be most likely to get the
worst of a bad bargain.
If men see proper to commit offences against
the laws, and the peace of the community and
thus get into the Quarter Sessions, they must
suffer the penalty, and The tchOle penalty. 1t is
but just and right that the public should know
who commit crimes, that respectable and or
der-loying citizens may be on their guard, and
it is the duty of an editor to expose all breach
es of the peace, and all offences against the
laws, as well as the penalty which the Court
visits upon the perpetrators. In addition to
this, it will have tendency to prevent the nu-
merons violations of the laws, and thus not
only preserve the peace, and order of the com
munity, but by decreasing the busnes of the
criminal Courts, lesson the onerous taxes lev
led upon our citizens to sustain them.

kRRIvAL OF TWELVE CoNvicTs AND OzE
HUNDRTp AND FIFTY PAUPgKs PROM BELGiUs
--.4rTeSL Of lie Former G7aa Lbsir GeeR,ion at
The Tonabs.-Yesterday, afternoon, Sergeant
Bell, attached to the Mayors Office, received
information that the ship RochamJeau, Capt.
Stackpole, was coming up the bay, loaded
with lG0 paupers and II conyicts, which had
been sent here by the Belgian Government,
being shipped at Antwerp for the port Of New
York. He Immediately, with great alacrity,
despatched his squad of men On board the yes
sci, before she had reached the wharf, and had
the twelve convictS arrested. T1cy were Ia
ken before Judge Beebe, who was sitting in
his chambers, who ordered them TO be locked
up in the Tombs until some provision is made
for their conveyance back to Belgium. These
convictS gave their names as Jacques Gillis, j.

Joseph Poisons, Felix Buyer, John Wager

way aleviated, if not abolished, for the great
increase of crime in the metror OILS is really

that the strictest measures viii be used to

THE NEWS.
The War.


The news, although devoid of anything ex.
Fciting from the seat of war, is of the utmost
/ Importance, inasmuch as it is announced that
the most important negotiations were in pro-
gress, and Austria had signed treaty of alli-
ance with France and England.
There is no news whatever of Importance
from the seat of war. Frequent sortics are
recorded, and the Russians were generally re-
pulsed without much damage on either side.-
The allies were continually receiving rein
forcements, and mainly engaged in
strengthening their positions.
The main interest Of the news is centered in
the negotiations, which had become complica-
ted, and of vast Importance.
A treaty of alliance between Austria, France
and England, was signed at Vienna on the ID
inst-binding, it is supposed-Austria to de-
clare war against Russia within one month,
and England and France to guarantee Austria
against invasion or insurrection. Austria
calls on the Germanic States to support her
with federal troops; +; bat Russian influence is
at work in opposition to this. Commercial
letters assert that Austria entered into this
treaty unwillingly, but consented to it in pre-
ference to breaking entirely with the Vest
ern Powers.
Ncsselrode has published q letter defining
the four terms wlich Russia viii accept
peace, namely y joint protectorate of tie
five Powers over the Christians in Turkey; a
like protectorate over the Principalities, sub
ject to existing Russian treaties; the revision
OF the treaty of 1871 to which Russia will as
sent if the Sultan will and the free naviga-
ton of the Danube. Prussia and all the Ger
man States were hastily putting all their ar
mics on war footing. 1t is said that Omer
Pasha, with 40, GOO troops, is about TO embark
for the Crimea. Admiral Hamelin had re-
signed the command of the French squadron
in the Black Sea, and returned to France. The
remaindar Of the French troops in Greece
have been ordered to the Crimea. 4 propo-
sition for the augmentation Of the British ar
my to the extent of $4,000 men is to be sub
initted to Parliament.

COST on cALIEaaEIA aorn

For.he information of those persons vho
believe that the United States thus far bsya
been benefited by the discovery OF gold in
California, we propose 70 submit few remarks
and calculations.
After tie close of the Mexican war snd ths
cession by treaty to US of Upper California
the world was astoniShed BY the anrource
ment, towards the close Of 1913 or the begin
ming of 1919, that immense deposites Of goIt
had been discovered in that country. AS soon
as the truth Of this report was established,
vast numbers of persons young and old f'ock-
ed to that country. There was a perfect
stampede of people from every State in the
Union. Property was sacrificed TO raise mon
ey with which to reach this Eldorado where
fortunes for all were supposed to be swaitinr
the mere effort to gather them The first in
furious effect on the country was the sudden
withdrawal of so much labor from the chan
nels Of production; it was mainly, too, .i,a,
description most needed hcre-that is, agr!.
cultural labor.
We are not in possession of the statistics
requisite TO determine with exactness the nurs-
ber CT persons who have been taken from flst
old States and have gone to California The
population of that State now exceeds two
hundred thousand. But as there is a constant
stream OF people always in frarsitu, either 60
ing to or leaving that country the number Of
people Withdrawn from the business of pro-
ductiYe labor largely exceeds the population
Vi tilat otate IL is net our purpose TO over
estimate the amount Of labor that has bean
Withdrawn from the old States, but we feel
satisfied that it will be under rather than over
the mark to say that from 1Sf9 to 1851 csch
year inclusive, there has been an average of
10000 persons who have been during tb,;
time either in California or on their way going
or returning. The time is six years for l5O'-
GOO persons, or one year for 900, 900 persons
Now, If we estimate the average value OF
this labor at $25 per-month each, or $500 per
year, we have (S270, eco ,000l two hundred and
seventy millions Of dollars rs the value of the
labor taken from the eastern side Of the Rocky
fountains and placed on it's western side. In
addition 10 this, it cost on an average $3.50
per head rs the expenses of the re-. val from
one country to the other. This makes $780,

dollars as the cost Of removal. The sums to-

States. To ascertain the amount Of the gold
obtained from that country we propose to take

EXHIBITIONS Of the oLaARrrrLD AcapEaY

EGHI8ITIoE CT the CLEARFTELDA ACaDEHY.
The first exhibition of the Pupils of the
Cieariieid Academy, under the charge of Mr.
and Mrs. CAMPBELL, came off in the Town Hall
on Friday evening last. The audience was
the largest, perhaps, ever assembled in the
building, and numbers were compelled to
leave, naable to procure admittance. The pu-
-pils performed their respective parts in aman-
Der, not only highly creditable to themselves,
but TO their accomplished teachers, who have
had them SO short time under their charge.
The exercises, without exception, were
sveil selected, and admirably arranged, cvin-
cling. on the part Of all concerned, no small
degree OF patience, perseverance,, and determ-
ined effort. The young ladies generally, ac-
quilted themselves well, but had they spoken
in a little shigher' tone of voice, they would
have deserved shigher' need of praise. We
are glad to learn that the Institutionis in most
prosperous condition, ard promises to surpass
the expectations of its most sanguine friends.
The Principal and his lady deserve great cred
it for what they have accomplished in the
short tiuiu they have been here; and We COM
snend them to the patronage of all our citizens
who have children 70 educste.
