A Fast Man.

In looking over the proceedings Of the Lcgisla-
ture, we observe that a certain Know Nothing
rat from the City of Philadelphia named George
r. Smith, moved few days ago, that the rules
of the House of Representatives be suspended, for
the purpose of taking up the bill erecting the pro-
posed new county of Conemaugh. The motion
did not prevail, for the that more important
business was then pending before the House.
We would like to know why George R. Smith,
has thus undertaken to interfere in this question.
We have a representative at Harrisburg in the
person of George S. King, who is perfectly sound
on the Conemaugh county question, and the mo-
ton should have been made by him. George
however is a modest man, and was induced from
some motive to call to his aid, of the universal
Smith family. We have no objection at all to the
motion referred to, if it comes from the proper
source, but coming from man so notorious in
more ways than one, IS George R. Smith, it can
do Conemaugh no manner of good This man
Smith ought to be suspended politically, like Ma
hornets coffin, between Heaven and earth. He
would not then disgrace the City of Philadelphia
as member of the Legislature, and the people of
Cambria would not be annoyed with his uncalled
for interference in her local affairs.

They surely not think this claim Tara new county
has any intrinsic merits. If they did, they Ger
tainIv would not ask it to be sustained by yital-
pcrafion, or by calumnatng the Judiciary of their
own county. A good cause needs no such assist
ance, and a bad one cannot but be made worse by
resorting to such means. That people will differ
upon most subjects is undeniable, but they may
do so, we presume, without using abusive or vul-
gar language. The question relating to new.
county is one that has been agitatcd before and
temperateiy discussed. We hope It viii be treated
in the same way hereafter. But If our fcliowciti-
zens of Johnstown not satisfied with the posi-
ton assumed by us in this section Of the county,
let them withdraw their application for Concmaugh
at this session, bring out King next fall as its
champion. run him on that issue alone, and we
will abide the result. In this there is surely
nothing arbitrary, arrogant, dictatoria, or cons
trary 10 the genius of our free institutions"

IMpoRTAsr TO THE SUNDAY PAPERS. "A GU
rious case has lately been heard before Judge
Roosevelt, in the Supreme Court. and its de-
cision will have an important bearing on the
prosperity of the Sunday papers. The case
alluded to is that of Smith VS.. Wilcox. The
plaintiff is proprietor Of a newspaper which is
issued on Sunday, and he sues defendant for
work and labor performed by the publication
of an advertisement in said newspaper. The
defence set up is that the contract is Illegal
under the statue, which declares all agree
ments made for labor to be performed on the
Sabbath to be null and void. The Court evi-
IDENTIFY inclined to the belief that plaintiff could
not recover, but reserved the decision until
the general term. Itmay be held that the labor
is performed during the week; but that would
not be competent defence, because the pub
LEGATION is made on Sunday, and that publica-
ton is the only proof of the contract. In fact
il is the contract itself Should the general
term decide according to the principles laid
down by the defence in this action, the pro-
prietors of the Sunday newspapers viii not be
able to receive any debts due to them by pro-
cess of law, either for advertisements or sub
scriptions. It viii be equivalent to an act of
outlawry.-N " Her.

The next was, directing measures TO be taken

the offence? They had dared to act independ-

who experienced the true American feeling could

ton on this movement, in which men who felt the
yoke of the other organization would turn to this

The War in the Crimea-Its Perils and its
Horrors.

We have already alluded to the war in the
Crimea, and the suffsrings Of the troops. The
accounts given in private letters truly appal-
ling. An assistant surgeon in Of the divisions
says that most of the patients are compelled to
lie on the grounI, and that their entire covering
consists Of one or two blankets at the utmost.
They have no tea arrow root, or any other little
thing thought indispensable in London hospital.
a regimental officer writes:

Another complains bitterly of the cold, says
that rains and SHOWS are almost constant, and
that while the officers have houses built for them
selves, the men have the most miserable accom-
modations. The cholera had also appeared in
the ranks, and thus added to the sunerings and
horrors. A soldier of the 93d Highlandcrs writes
to his wife -
I" Last night was on picket, and had to sit till

then. But hope in God we shall he out of this
place soon."
A staff officer says:
!" With the commonest method and forethonght,
this army might be happy, healthy and comfort
able-for hitherto, at any rate, the climate has
not been so bad, considering it is winter-but the
men are overworked, ill-fed, and without sufficient
time to get fuel This arises from Cur having un-
dertaken TO do too much to the siege, and too
little as to the Cvmmissariat transport. At Bala
klava there is every thing, in the camp nothing.

Corinth Copper Mine.

In the winter of IS47-S, fox
hunter" in Corinth, W., drove fox
to his den, in "Pike Hill," and in
pursuing his researches" for
Reynard, the I.unter discovered what
he supposed to be copper orc.-
Eiated with his discovery, he made
exertions to interest some one
TO make experiments. He finally
succeeded i'll cnlIsting one Mr..
Battles, of New York, to engage in
the enterprise, bu; owing to some
reverses of fortune, he " failed up"
and the work was suspended.
In the fall Of $50, after the work
was recommended at the Vershire
mine, our fox hunter carried few
specimens Of the ore 10 the Vershire
miners, and it was then pronounced
valuable.
Messrs. Lumbard and Goddard
then joined the hurter in making
further experiments. They traced
the vein over the summit Of Pike
Hill, and becoming fully satisfied
that it was valuable, they purchased
the Hill, paying for the same s 900.
Last spring they opened the mine,
and soon found all the encourage
ment they anticipated. Some sixty
to one hundred tons Of the ore have
been transported TO the smelling
company, at New Haven, in
fractured state, and it is found to
yield about fifteen per cent. of pure
copper.
A crushing machine is to be erect
ed at this mine in the spring, and the
work will be continued with vigor.
The vein is about eleven feet in
thickness, the ore being similar to
that Of the Vershire mine, but yield
ing u larger per cent.
The enterprise bids fair to become
one OF the most profitable of the
kind, which has ever secured atten-
ton in this Staie.-Northfeld Star.
