THE STATE COUNCIL.

The American State Council which assembled
at Reading last week, repudiated the twelfth
section of the Philadelphia Platform, bya vote
of 133 to So 4 section was adopted in It's
place, in favor of the restoration of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, and opposed to the adnlis
sion into the Union of any slave States north
of that line. a resolution was also passed,
calling a National Convention in Cincinnati,
in January, as follows
Resolved, That a Committee of Thirteen be ap-
pointed to invite the cooperation Of all the State
Councils in the ConfedeTscy. who may be willing
to concur in the principles and platform this day
adopted by the State of Pennsylvania, for
her National Greed, and that Convention be held
mt Cincinnati, the Sth day Of January next 10
concert measures to secure the nominution in the
Convention. called by the National Council, Of
candidates for President and Vice President, who
are willing to stand upon the platform this day
established. and transact .Uch other matters as
NAV be deemed necessary to secure the success of
the American Party in the Union. The rcpresen-
tations of each State in said Convention to be
equal to the number of members such State is en-
titled to in the National Congress
Eight OF the Philadelphia delegates seeded
from the Convention, having endorsed the pro-
slavery plank. All we have TO say is, let them
go, and blessing go with them. If Philadel-
phia finds it to her interest to truckle to the
slave oligarchy OF the South, the rest Of the
State does not. The Convention did exactly
right, and we endorse the Pennsylvania plat
form throughout.

whose duty it is TO notify US free Of postage.
We expect to loose, at the close this vol
ume about three hundred subscribers. because
we We're compelled TO raise the price during
the year to 81 1.50, but it viii be better for US
to print six hundred papers at S1.50, than a
thousand at 81, for on each of the latter we
loose 10 cents.

THE FOURTH.

We arc glad to announce that our National
Anniversary was generally celebrated through
out tho County. In this place the |performan-
ce' commenced at three O'Clock IN the morn
ing, when our citizens were awakened by mar
tial music, land the national salute fired by the
Regulars, under Gen. HILLS. The Brass Band
also discoursed appropriate music. During
the day the different Sabbath Schools
assembled at Liberty Spring, where, we learn,
they had very interesting celebration. The
Declaration was read by HENRY B. SAITH,
Esq, and the Grafton delivered by the Rev. 5.
NJ. CooPER. After partaking of the usual
Fourth of July refreshments, the children and
teachers returned home in the evening delight
ed with the proceedings of the day.
At LumberEille they had very large and
swell got up celebration, which reflected great
credit on all who were concerned in it. The
Clearfeld Band were in attendance, and Ger
tainly never performed better, or gave more
general satisfaction. Judge FERGUSON presi-
ded over the meeting. The Declaration was
read, followed by -sIIail Columbia from the
band, and an appropriate and eloquent Grafton
by J. B. GoRDES, Esq. We were then intro
dueed TO the audience, and after giving them
a speech sin Our usual style" all proceeded
to the rcfreshment table, where such a repast
was spread as would have astonished those
who imagine that the people of Clearfield live
or Pine slabs and Henllocb bark. It was one
of the best public dinners We have ever sat
down to, and, for ourself, we certainly did it
Justice. The whole affair passed of with the
greatest harmony and good feeling, and we
will long remember the patriotism, kindness,
aud hospitality of the citizens of Lumberville
and vicinity.
at Curwensyille they had very pleasant
celebration in the grove on Anderson's Greek
"a lovely spot-for which the citizens were
indebted 10 the patriotism and enterprise of our
friend S. Greaff, who is entitled at their hands
to a resolution Of thanks. The Declaration
was read, and read well, by Mr.. DANIEL FoUsr,
A brief, but handsome and appropriate speech
was made by J. B. GoRDoS, Esq, followed by
few remarks from ourself. The crowd dis
persed through the woods, and thus ended the
Fourth in Curwensville,
The day was appropriately celebrated at va
rious other places, but We have received no de-
tails, and are unable TO notice them as VIC
could desire.

ROHAN CATHOLIC Police.

The citizens of New York have for scveral
months been familiar with the sight of :. Young
man Of perfectly reSpccttbic and harmless
character, who, from the iniuGicionS ,.se Of
medicines for epilepsy, has complexion which
has gained for him the title of the blue man.
lie has supported himself by the s,,le OF books
and papers, usually taking his stand near some
crowded thoroughfarc, and there exposing his
articles to public notice. Since the pubIica-
tion of the controversy between Senator Brooks
and Bishop Hughes, he has bee, engaged in
the sale Of the pamphlet which IS the cor
reSpondence entire. In the prosecution OF his
business he was lately turned ont of 4 public
store which he lad entered, and where he had
been in the habit OF disposing Of his books
The Irishman TO whom he was indebted for
his summary election followed him to the
street, and continued to abuse him, he making
little, if any reply. During the disturbance,
he was seized by two Irish policemen, and
hurried off to the TOmbs and locked up. Be-
ing soon after liberated on bail, lie resumed
his labors. when he again seized and taken
to the police Office, though Immediately set at
liberty. Had he sold the Bishops edition,
there is little probability that he would have
been moleSted. 1t is high time, at least, that
peaceable Protestants follew their lawful
avocationS without being first abused by for
eigu rufians, and then imprisoned by Ro-.
man Catholic policeman. The thing does not
look we'll in land of liberty. We have no
doubt sE his Grace" is pleased with the appa-
rent PROCESS Of Popish principles, but such
outrages will only rccol upon those who en-
act them and the more thoroughly unmask

TIE NEWS.


The crisis appears to have arrived at last in
the Crimea. The Allies have made an I'M
successful attempt to storm Scbastopol. The
most sinister rumorS prevailed in regard TO
the transaction. By some accounts the En-
eIish loss is set down at four t5oasand men
but the report is believed to he much exag-
gerated.
The following are the only official notiica-
tions of the event:
"Lord Paumure regrets to have toannounce
that he has received information that the
English troops attacked tie Bedan and the
French the MalakoF Towers, at daylight on
the morning Of the I8th, Without tie success
which has hitherto attended ovt efforts. Both
the French and ourselves Lave suffered con-
siderably The names Of the officers who
have fallen will he forwarded Immediately,
but it Will be impossible to receive complete
returns Of all the casualties before the 30th
inst. (June) at the earliest
The Moniteur announces that the govern
ragnthas received two dispatches from Gen.
Pe]issie-; the first dated the nth, informs Of
operations concerted between the General and
hiss 8lnes, and that the Turks and Chasseurs
made q recouloisance towards Aitodar, Gen

ae7,s day. at daybreak, the French and Eng
sI.sa Her 10 attack the Malakoi Tower. The
scoorl q sspatch, dated the 18th. announces
tsas the attack had failed, and that, although
the troops had showed the greateat arder and
had gained footing in the Malako1 Tower,
General PeIissicr was obliged to order their
retirement into the parallel. This vas cGec-
ted with order and without molestatiop by the
euemy.
Private accounts, published in he London
Standard, say the loss OF the British officers
in killed and wounded amounts to no less tl.an
seventy. Among the killed are General SirJ-
Cambell, Colonel Yea and Colonel Shadforth.
From the obstinacy and courage wiJa which
the combat was maintained by the British at
the Redan, and the necessity Of eventually re-
firing from The attack, the slaughter on all
sides has been immense, and if the information
be correct, the loss in killed and wounded of
the English alone amounts to very little short
OF 1000. The greatest portion Of the loss was
experienced in rayinc, where powerful and
unexpected battery was opened on the troops.
There is reason TO fear that the loss has been
very great, but Lord Palmerston said last night
no additional information had arrived. The
Allies lost terribly by the Russians springing
mine, and during the confusion they recap
tured the MaIhelon Tower.
Previous advices were 10 the l7th, stating
that there had been smart firing on both sides,
but without any result Of Importance.

a MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH WITHOUT
fsl WIRES

! AMI Italian gentleman at Turin has inst die
feoser red and shown by numerous successful
heXpeuments, and is reported, that the railway
track makes an excellent substitute for the
telegraph wires, and that any train CARRYING
along with 1t a small battery and apnaratuS
can communicate TO and fro with the stations
before and behind while going at full speed
This application of the telegraph will probably
be immediate, universal and of immense val
ne. One train meeting another can commu
nicate direcely with it, and though both an
preaching each other at the rate of sixty TO A
hundred miles an hour they can herald their
coming to each other at an Infinitely greater
speed, converse backward and forward: and
make arrangements for stopping or passing as
they drawnear If anything detains the train
they can telegraph its, whereabouts; if an ac-
cident or obstruction occurs it send for
assistance and warn trains approaching or
overtaking.
Properly managed this would make COLI
sons almost impossible and the probabilities
of accident infinitely less, since the moving
train could then be communicated with at any
moment and from any part of the track
There would thea only require the discovery
OF some combination of substances sufficiently
simple and universal by which magnetic
current can at any moment be communicated
along the railroad track from any point, SO as
to excite the attention of the operator in the
cars. a premium offered would without doudt
soon secure the best method Of effecting this
Since writing the above We learn that the
method in which the Italian gentleman. trans
mits his messages has not vet been rGdde .pub
lie. Tfis however, is of small matter if the
above facts be true If the magnetic fluid can
be transmitted alJhg an ordinary rail road. in
stead q passing down into the earth our opcr-
ators will find no difficulty in making it talk.
The rails being laid wooden sIeepers. so
long as they and the surrounding earth are
dry we have little doubt that communication
may be effected. Where however, the iron
touches the ground naturally damp or wet by
a shower of rain, We doubt the success of the
experiment. hen the lines are out of order
on the arrival ofa steamer. it may prove posi-
bic sometimes TO trsinsnlit the news along the
railroad tracks past the break.
