INSULT TO SOUTHERN MERCHANTS - The New York Tribune man, not content with vil- flying the South and her institutions, must needs libel southern merchants. Read what the ugly slip of anatomy says of that respectable class of our citizens:-
 "Southern merchants do indeed keep away from New York for the reason that they cant pay teir debts; there is no doubt that if the job bers of this city had not trusted southern tra- ders for the past three years, they would be a great deal better off than they are."

from the farmers in the country round about
Jersey Shore, the wheat crop will not be a
good one by any means. During the winter

We know some that will not yield the seed

higher, il is to be regretted that such failure

This company have made arrangements 10
cancel the lease of the Cattawissa rail road
company on that portion of the road be-
tween Milton and Williamsport. The
road will therefore be untramelled by any
conditions. The grading on the road be-
tween the above points is nearly all COM
pletcd, and workmen are now engaged in
laying down the track. Tn few months
the road from Milton 10 Williamsport will
be in running order. From Sunbury to
Milton the work, with the exception Of the
bridge at Northumberland, is light, aud can
be ready early in the spring. The road
from Milton 10 Danville and Cattawissa
will not be ready, we presume, until some
time in August.

W JArAN.-The U. S. Steamship Sus-
quehanna arrived at New York from Japan,
with the important news that Commodore
Perry had succeeded in forming treaty
with that hitherto secluded people, by
which they open to our people, their ports
for trade and commerce, but are not viii
ling to extend that privilege to other
nations.

~ FIRE AT LEwlsBURG.-The new
Steam Mill OF Messrs. Nesbit, Hayes &
Fitchhorn, at Lewisburg, together with
about $4,000 worth of grain, was destroyed
by fire on Wednesday morning, The 7th
inst. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
covered by an insurance of $4,000, one
half in the Lycoming County Mutual
Insurance Company, and the other in the
Union County Mutual. The fire is sup
posed to have been caused by the friction
of the smut machine.

" In another column will be found
the letters of Governor Bigler and Judge
Pollock in reply TO the committee of the
Temperance Convention, on the subject of
a prohbitory liquor law. The convention
was not at all satisfied with the reply OF
Governor Bigler. Judge Polock's letter,
however seemed TO meet their appreciation,
and we presume the Judge will, therefore,
be supported by the Temperance party
These questions are ugly things to put to
gentlemen, especially on the eve of an
election. If gentlemen were polite and
considerate, they would wait until the
election was over.

70 Professor HOLLOWAY, Of London,
may be set down as public benefactor.-
He not only patronizes the printers, but
places their papers on file, for the accom-
modation Of the public. Our friends abroad
will find our paper at his Office, 244,
Strand, near Temple Bar, which is always
open to visitors, free of charge, and the
experience we have had with the Profess
sor, warrants us in assuring those that call
upon him, that they will be kindly treated.

correction -
The mail is carried on The Packets the

the Boats have been appointed mail Agents,
and the mail matter is properly distributed
AT every lown,and therefore communication
between the intermediate offices between
Northumberland and WilliamspoIi, Is not
subjected TO the Interruptions stated by US,

Miss Hunter, but without doing any injury.

Three children of Mrs Brown, residing in
Pine-s,ree,. ST. Louis, Missouri, by most
remarkable coincidence were scrofulously in-
clined, the eldest, (Jane) most particularly
so, and the mother finding such to be the
case, did all in her power 10 relieve the suf-
ferer but in vain she became worse, the
blood of the others was equally impure, and
they all three were so bad at last, as TO be-
come quite an object of horror 10 their friends.
The mother, about eight weeks ago, put
them through the course Of Holloway's Pills
and Ointment, and strange, yet true is, that
their blood became thoroughly purified, and
the sctofulous symptoms disappeared. They
are now all three in excellent health, to the
asonishment and delight Of their affec,iona,e
parents.

~ CANDIDArEs.-The political cam
paign is now fairly opened and a number
of candidates are already in the field
Others, no doubt, are calculating their
chances, and will, in due time, let the
public know that they intend 10 enter the
ring.
For Congress we have thus far the names
OF Major VIM. L. Dewart and James
Cameron of this county, and Col. c. M.
Straub our present member, and Joseph W..
Cake Of Schuylkill.
For Senator and Assembly we have not
yet heard much said. Matters and things
have not yet, perhaps, sufficiently devel-
oped themselves. For Sheriff, Prothono-
tary, Commissioner, &C., there will be, no
doubt, spirited contest.
The wings will also make a strong
effort for Senator from this district
David Taggart and Charles Peasants, Esqs.,
are both talked of as candidates 10 succeed
Mr.. Kunkel, who now represents us in the
Senate.

~ The news from Europe shows that
nothing very decisive has yet taken place
in the war between Russia and the allied
powers. Grain has submitted to further
decline. What is singular and worth
recording, is the fact that wheat has been
selling here fifteen cents per bushel higher
than in New York.

Mr.. WISE, THE ERoNAUT, ascended in a
balloon from the Crystal Palace, New York
on Friday. The balloon was carried over
Long Island but, in descending, the coura-
geous pronaut made a narrow escape from
death The grapnel which he threw out
tore out the sod, and the balloon bounded
several hundred yards; next the car was
dashed forcibly into ravine, and threw him
out. He held on TO The outside, hanging fast
10 the car. The grapnel again made its
hold, and as the balloon was about rising
again, Mr Wise let himself fall into a salt
meadow, knocking out one of his teeth and
iniuring his jaw by the fall. The balloon
went off, but the voyageur offers reward
for its return in season for another ascen,
from the Palace on Tuesday next.

thirds down the precipice, where they lodg

escaped without serious injury, while the
other was killed. The wagon was uninjured

lowered 10 a raft beneath by means Of ropes,
and towed thence safely 10 the landing place.

NJ DANvlLLE.-We made visit last
week to Danvile, and were pleased to wit
ness The improvements in the town and
vicinity. The rolling mill with its numer-
Gus furnaces and ponderous and massive
machinery, giving employment TO some
eight hundred men, is of itself worth visit
to those who know how to appreciate such
stupendous enterprises. A few years
since where these mills and furnaces are
now belching forth their gaseous flames,
there were quiet fields where the cattle
could Craze, undiSturbed by the heavy rum
bling OF the machinery, and the frequent
deonating reports caused by the pressure
of masses OF intensely heated iron, weighing
nearly one third of ton, between the iron
Jaws of what is called the coffee mill, but
what more resembles an old fashioned cider
mill. Most OF the iron rails manufactured
average in weight over 500 pounds, and it
is surprising to see with what skill and
dexteri!y these immense rails, glowing with
heat, are managed, each one having TO pass
about a dozen times through the rollers
before il is completely formed.
