a Big Sum-.-War.

Money is the sinews of war, and the
people bleed to sustain it both in their
purposes and persons. Still they say "let
the fight go on"
Great Britain proposes to raise for 1856,
the enormous sum of over ninety
millions of pounds sterlingl This is the
second year of war. BY the time that is
expended, there will have been raised, IL
the ways ofleans by England and France
and the subscriptions completed, the sun
of E 29,O0O,OO0 by the former, and Of

Strange but True.

About twelve months ago a young and
blooming lady of Ludlowst, in this City,
entered the bonds of matrimony, and "a
bout eleven weeks ago she presented her
husband with fine healthy boy.
Last Friday she was suddenly taken
sick, and her mother being with her sent
for the doctor, believing that she had a
touch of the cholera.-Not finding DIR. J
4. Wood, she called in a strange Doctor,
who, upon entering the room, said to her:
ma lame, is your daughter married!"-
The mother answered: Certainly, sir; dc
you not see her boy lying there just elev-
en- weeks old to-day!"-"Eleven weeks
DID," replied he; why, woman, she is
going to present her husband with anoth-
cr child"
And so it turned. out instead of fcholera,
there appeared bouncing fat girl who
is thriving and doing well.
The writer of this knows these facts to
be true, although they may appear very
strange.-N Y. Tribune.

A Blood Thirsty Villain Arrested.

A letter from Mexico to the N. I. Trl-
bune, dated Sept. 9th, gives the follow
ing account of the capture OF Santa An
ua's son--who appears to be as foul a
monster as his father:-
Santa Annals son, who figured as
Colonel in his fathers army, mostly IN
Michoacan, was taken prisoner few days
since while on his way in disguise to Vera
Cruz. with the intention of embarking
secretly from that port. The people OF
the village where he was arrested deter,
mined to lynch him on the spot for his a.
bominable crimes, but he was preserved
| from their vengeance and sent to Vera
Cruz, where be awaits his trial. He is
only about 25 years old, but is one Of the
most bloodtLirsty villains that ever lived
Senior Dcgollado, nov Governor OF Qua
dalaiara, wrote a short time ago to
friend in this city as follows:
"The son of Santa Anna passed through
Zacupu (Michoacan,) pillaged the houses
of the revolted, assassin ated the wife o.
one of them, and caused her infant to bt
| taken UY tuG lNSl dnA ito w w
dashed out against the stones. He shot
in Naranja, four Indians and hung tw,
Muleteers on the trees, who were as muc'
rebels as | am Turk.
"This infamous man leaves blood
track behind him that causes horror"
/ Another of bis acts, though at the or
ders of his father, was the following
which l know to be true: At the frs
attack on Zapotlan, (Jalisco,) the troop
of Santa Anna got the advantage, an
took thirty eight prisoners, some badl
wounded, and they were ordered to b
shot, but at the instance of friend, th
commander was persuaded to spare thel
: lives, against orders, until he could hea
, from Santa Anna. The latter immediate
J ly sent courier to bis hopeful son, wh
was stationed not far distant, with order
to 90 himself and have these prisoners e2
: ecuted at once He went, and in lie:
? than an hour after his arrival these order
were carried out to the letter.

Foreign News.

Bp the arrival of the Steamship Pacif-
ic, at New York, on Wednesday, we have
adyices from Europe one week later. The
news is not very important. General
Pellissiers official report had not been
received in Paris in Paris, but he tele-
graphs home that he took in Sebastopol
four thousand cannon, fifty thousand can
non balls and vast amount of powder
and other munitions of war. Another
despatch makes the number of cannon
captured twelve hundred of the largest
calibre, and four thousand Of smaller size.
1t appears, also, that several of the large
fortswere left uninjured, and have fallen
into the hands of the Allies. The latter
have begun to occupy the town, but the
Russians were still seen in small groups
among the ruins. 1t is said that the Al
lies have blown up the greater part of the
Notifications of Sebastopol left standing
by the Russians. The Czar is reported
to have telegraphed to the King of Prus-
sia that Russia never makes peace after
a defeat.

Tremendous Iron Excitement.

Within the past few months quite
number of important discoveries have been
made in the vicinity Of Hollidaysburg-
discoveries that, We think, will lead to very
important results before long. Mr. Irwin,
has discovered that there is an immense
bed of iron oar in the ridge Immediately
back OF the Fresb scrian Grave Yard, and
Vim. Hartsock has not only discovered
that the same vein-which is q continua-
ton Of the Frankstown openiDg-runs
through the land belonging to his father
in-law, Mr. Thorn, but for several weeks
past he has been raising pure fossil ore
within the borough limits, until be has up
wards of $50 tons stacked up, and ready
for market. This vein pitches North
South, and time alone can reveal its ex-
tent. Where Hartsock is mining, the vein
is eighteen inches thick, and the extent Of
territory it covers cannot be surmiSed.-
| He is about introducing machinery, and
will 90 into the business Of raising ore ex-
tensiyely.
The new Furnace will 60 into opera
ton in March next-this is fixed fact;
and we are altogether speaking in bounds
when we say it is highly probable that
two more will be erected next sumuar.--
This belief is founded on the fact tbat
the pioneers who are going into the busi-
ness are shsewd and sagacious men,
Their venture will inspire confidence
Iron is now commanding an excellent
price, and nothing but a commercial rev
olution will lessen the price for the next
half century, or so long as mania to
build railroads exists. With inexhausti-
bic beds of ore but few feet beneath the
surface of the earth, within the borough
limits, what shall prevent capital makiag
such profitable Investment as making
iron?
Since writing the above, We learn that
other discoveries have been made, and. a.
the time we 60 to press, a wild iron ore
excitement in our midst j. NJ. Bell Is
prospecting on his farm east of town, by
sinking no less than four shafts, and out
of one of them quantities of Hematite ore
have been taken-eDough to warrant the
belief that, In addition to the Frankstown
vein which must be reached by two of his
shafts, large bed of the former ore is
embedded in his lands. On Monday the
Frankstown vein of fossil ore was opened
on the lands of Smith 4 Caldwell, north
of our borough, aud found to be Ia in
ches in thickness; underneath it was
small strata of slate, and underneath it a
gain vein of ore, the thickness OF wbieh
has not been ascertained, Every land
owner north of US is prospecting, aud there
is reason to believe that in short time
inexhaustible beds of ore will be found

Misery

A@AAcO4Js
A case of the most melancholy dcscrip-
ton came under our observation, few
days since, in the Police Court. A wo-
man named Denny, filthy almost beyond
description, was brought up for trial as
common drunkard. A little boy about
four years old, entirely blind, and reeking
with filth, stood beside her, and another
about two years old, in the same condi-
tion of filth, lay on the floor at her feet.
The officer said he found the woman in a
cellar-bole near Fort Hill surrounded by
the most disgusting and horrible impuri-
ties. In this wretched place she had lain
drunk in one position for FIVE days, mere
ly rousing herself occasionally, long e.
nough to swallow fresh potation of
"liquid damnation," and then relapsing
into an insensble state. There was no
furniture, fuel, or food in the room; /; but
crouched in one corner, on pile of dirty
rags. were her three dirty, half-naked
children, weeping for bread. Add to
this state of things the fact that the wo-
man was again about to become moth
er, and the living picture of utter destitu-
ton is complete. A short time before,
the husband and father of this miserable
family was sent to the House of Core c.
ton for ten months, for assaulting the
mother with an axe, and the officer know
;ns that the children had no friend, ex-
cept that beastly mother, had supplied
food for their immediate wants, and then
brought the family into Court AS the
Judge gazed upon the bloated counten-
ance of the woman, who had begun to
show unmistakable signs of delirium tre-
mems, he was evidently moved to compass
sion, and ordered that for the present the
whole family be sent to the House of In
dustry. 1t seems almost incredible that
so much wretchedness can be discovered
in the midst of this populous and pros
porous city. Our numerous charitable
societies may find cases of destitution
worthy of their attention, without waiting
for the frosts and SHOWS of Winter

completed and set up at the Marble Yard
of Mr.. H. S. Tarr, in Philadelphia. 1t

full and significant liz design, and elegant
in execution. 1t is expected that it will
soon be sent to the Committee here, when
measures will be taken to have it formal
ly erected on the permanent site chosen.
1t will be great ornament to our ceme-

to the memory of noble and patriotic
citizen who served his country manfully
in her greatest trial, and periled his life
and property for the cause of human Lib

cape-for I solemnly assure you OF my
firm conviction that you have no Jusl
ground of hope of either. So far as this
world is concerned, your account WITT it
will soon be closed. Your doom is GER
tain and inevitable. So oregard it. And
so regarding it, let your undivided atten-
ton be given to prepare yourself for death
and Judgment If the cruci6ed, dying
Savior, promised salvation to the thief on
the cross, you need not despair Of his sal
walton likewise, if you will but seek 1t IN
the right way. In that same Gross, is
your only hopel There is your only ref
uge! To what earthly hope can you clingl
You have bad fair and impartial trial,
before jury almost of your own selec
ton; and you have been defended by able
and faithful counsel, by whom nothing
has been left uudone that could have a.
vailed you. 1t has been unavailing;your
doom is about to be spoken. The cur
tain is about to fall forever between you
andSTime, and the veil of Eternity to be
lifted. May you be prepared to eDcount-
er its dread realities! To this end, study
diligently the Scriptures of Truth, that
you may profit by the examples there re-
corded. Bow your spirit, in deep abase-
ment and self humiliation, beneath the
mighty hand of God! Pour forth your
heart in fervent and unceasing prayer
for peniteDce and pardon. Fly to the
Sayiorl Fly quickly, for the avenger of
blood is behind you'll Take refuge be-
meath the Cross; cling to it with grasp
that death shall not loosen! for if you let
90. YOU are lostl Look, with believing
ewes, on him who died thereon that SIN
ners, even such as you, might live! Thus
may you find from Heaven, that mercy
which the inexorable justice Of man de-
nies.
Bot this painful scene has bceu suffi-
ciently prolonged.
1t now only remains for me to pro-
nounce upon you, in the manner OF the
law, its last judgment.
The judgment and sentence of the
Court is, that you, Jacob Armbruster, be
taken from the Court House where yos
are, the common gaol of Bucks county
whence you came, and from thence to the
place of execution within the walls or yard
of said gaol, at such time as the Governor
of Pennsylvania shall order and appoint,
and that you then there be hanged by tue
neck until you are dead; and may God
have mercy on your soul
He received the solemn and earnest
warning of the Judge with an unmoved
countenance, which continued unchanged
and unaffected even when the terrible de-
cree of death upon the gallows was pro
nounced upon him. We learn that in the
prison, since his sentence, his conduct Is
much more mild and submissive than be-
fore-he is glad to see bis old acquaint-
ances, and talks freely of bis impending
fate, but has not yet confessed his guilt.

Don't Like PoperY.

The editor of the Louisville Journal,
in doing service for the Know Nothings,
has got into controversy respecting the
merits of the Catholic Church, and deals
his blows without mittens. He says:
Roman Pontiffs are known to be both
kings and priest. They unite with the
tiara the imperial diadem. They hold
the spiritual sword of Cesar, ,and both the
keys of St. Peter. With the two swords
they have cloven down the spiritual and
and temporal rights of mankind. With
the two keys they have locked up heaven
and opened hell.-They have disposed of
crowns and kingdoms, lorded for twelve
centuries over Gods heritage, and got
ten drunk on the blood of the saints
Their principles and their practices have
ever been destructive to the civil and re-
ligious rights of mankind. The most
ample time has been afforded for the trial
of Popery. After reign in Italy for
twelve or fifteen centuries, no good fruit
has ever been borne. Freedom of thought,
of speech, and of religious worship, is
crushed in the very seat of empire. On
his own duughill, and at his own home,
the Head of the Hierarchy mocks at the
sacred rights of mankind. He restricts
and Furnishes them Systematically, pur-
posely, and avowedly upon the principles
of bis religious corporation. No prsde-
cessor of his has ever done otherwise
through ages ugon ages. If the long SER
les of sovereign despots were truly COM
maiissssioued ma by Jesus as Head of His Church,
then Popery is divine, the Declaration of
Indpendence is lie, and the constitutions
of America are usurpations on the divine
rights of Kings If the principles of our
constitutions are correct, every Papal Pom
tiff has been mere usurper and tyrant.
No true American can love and revere
the character of a Pontifcal Tyrant; nor
can the heart take distinction between
his kingly and his priestly nature. If the
kingly part of him were heheaded, the
priestly part would hardly be spared. 1t
is impossible to detest and pay homage
to the same person. We cannot revere
in mr. the priest, while we hate the ty-
rant The sanctity of the Pontiff is ut
terly lost in the atrocity of the Despot
