The t'SrAR FOUNDRY. We copy the
following complimentary notice of the
''star Foundry at Wheeling. from the
Intelligencer, of that city. See advertise
ment in another column.
We visited the t'Star Foundry" Mar
ket street, conducted by Messrs. GILBERT
son, Morrison & Co., and were agreeably
surprised to find their establishment as
large as it proves to be. They do gen,
eral foundry business, such as Stoves,
Crates, Holloware, Thrashing. Reapipg,
Machine Casting, &C., &c. Their stoves
are of excellent kinds, and got up in
good style Among them we noticed the
favorite and celebrated Improved Hart
ley, of two sizes. This stove burns
coal only, and gives, perhaps, as gener-
al satisfaction as any stove in use the
Economy stove, constructed to burn Ell
Their coal or wood the Crescent and the
Queen of the Prairie, for burning wood
only ; and several kinds of neat, parlor
and dining room stoves. They are at
this time doing a heavy business in the
way of stoves and castings for Thrashers;
shipping them to order as fast as they
can get them up. They have several
sets of new patterns for light and some>
what complicated machinery, which we
examined, and were struck with the neat
ness of their workmanship, vieing almost
with the finest cabinet work, and to add to
their durability, were made of several
pieces of wood united, inste ad of one so>
lid piece. Strangers visiting our city du-
ring the Fair, who wish to see what is 60
ing on in the city, as well as on the Fair
grounds, will be politely shown through
This establishment, by calling on Mr..
Gulbertson at the Office of the foundry on
Market street, a few doors below Quincy
who will take pleasure in doing so.
Strangers can call without any reserve
whatever.

PARTY AND SEcrARtAN .SrR1FE.-Dr.
Bryant, of Philadelphia, one of the noble
volunteers now at Norfolk, in a letter 10
the Pennsylvania Inquirer, after referring
to the scenes of sorrow and distress caus-
ed by the epidemic, adds
Party strife is rampant through the
land and while politicians are fulmi-
mating their anathemas abroad, here, in the
City of Pestilence, Catholics and Protes-
tants, men of the North and men of the
South, peacefully and tremendously unite
in all the offices of brotherIy love and
self-sacrifcing kindness. How all party
spirit and bigotry pale before this sublime
picture and hide their diminished heads.
Before partizan strife has taken its fren-
zIed hold upon our community, and sev>
cred the ties which bind US as people.
let us learn these important lessons from
the present affective dispensation of Prov,
idence, namely that we all mutually love
our common country that, whatever res
ligion we may profess, we should make it
the chief aim Of our being to exercise to-
ward each other that charity which, in
the Divine Scriptures, is said to be a
greater virtue than faith and hope"

PREACHER Run MAD.-A Reverend W.
H. Holcombe. a candidate for the Lcgis-
iature in Mississippi, said on the stump.
the other day, after most violent TRADE
against the Catholics, that "he would as
soon preach to ajackass as an ZrisAman. I"
Ex-Governor Matthews, in reply to
the Reverend gentleman, asked him elias
not an lrishman a soul ?" Did not your
Heavenly Master say. Go ye into ali the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature?"
This and other similar facts, show We
ry clearly, that, whatever may be the eff
feet of the discussions and elections Of the
day on political parties, the cause Of reli-
gion will come out of the contest with soil
ed garments. Its professors and teachers
have dragged it into the dirty arena OF
party politics, and can any true Christian
expect it to come forth undeflcd ? To
the man who has the welfare of his Faith
er's kingdom at heart, the question is
"food for reflection. ''-Montgonery Ad~

SLAEDER1EG A WHOLE V1LLAGE.-Know,
Nothingism has got to so low an ebb, even
in New York, that among decent. intelli-
gent people, it is regarded as term OF
reproach. It is, therefore, with great
pleasure that we make room. for the fol-
lowing emphatic contradiction to totally
unfounded calumnly which appears in a
late number of the Hamilton New York;
journal:
e Certain malicious persons in other
parts of the country, who desire to.iniure
the good name of our village, are endeay-
oring to spread report that there are
Know-Nothings among us. This Is a
base calumny. There au1s a council
here, but now it is utterly broken up and
scattered, like chaff before the wind
No meetings are held-none have been
since last spring none ever viii Sc
again. There was not even sufficient vi
tally in the concern to appoint a dele
gate to the Binghamton Convention
Don't let us hear any more, then, about
this man or that one being 1TIindoo. -

HitHim a gain-He's got NO Friends
Upon opening our eyes, yesterday
morning, we saw the following IN the
National Intelligencer
The Wires or MASSACHUSETTS z!sss We
are happy to perceive, by the following
calIlfor a State Convention, and comments
thereon by the Boston Conrier, that the
Wings of Massachusetts,, taking fresh
heart apparently from the important re-
suit ola hssty rally by the Wings of Maine,
are determined to be in the field under
their own proper name at the ensuing
election for State,oficers in Massachusetts,.
By this course, if they will at least have
maintained their own self-respect. We
do not doubt that they will, IN the end,
have just reason to congratulate themr
selves at this determination"
Since the defeat of Known othingism
everywhere, (for even in Kentucky the
majority of the party was so reduced as
almost to justify us in terming it a defeat)
from every quarter comes blow at the
harmless trunk of Sam. With no respect
to the memory of his gallant but brief
career, which seemed for time to cleo
trify his followers and to paralize his op-
ponents, the former are ungraciously, aud
with equivocal emulation {; striving to see
who can renounce him the soonest. They
spring,from him as he was the imperson-
alton of pestilence. Even our respectable
contemporary, the National Intelligencer,,
is trying to play the Brutus to this dead
Caesar, as thus it inserts its genteel and
dignifed Stilletto under his fifth rib
Tread lightly DER the ashes of the dead,
kind neighbor, for know that all must
come to this at last. The tall. the wise,
the reverend head must lie as low as his !!
You care happy TO perceive that the
Wings of Massachusetts" inspired by a
hqsty rally of the Wings of Maine are
determined to be in the field under their
OWN PROPER NAME at the ensuing election"
Alas poor Sam, this was the unkind-
est cut of all, and there are now none so
poor to do you reverence And even
your name taken from you-your most
improper name Man truly is Of few
days and full of trouble but to leave this
great celebrity with neither local habi-
tation or a name is scarcely less gracious
to him, than just to posterity. We con-
graduate our neighbor upon his return to
his first love and hope he will, as he
grows older, prove less susceptible. 1t is
very unbecoming in one who is reaping
the fruits of half century's service to
his country. - Washington Sent.

ANOTHER HERO FALLEE.-We record
this morning with profound sorrow the
death of William Boyd Ferguson, ESQ,
president of the Howard Association at
Norfolk. The name is familiar to all our
readers, for it has been associated in our
columns day after day with the most self
sacrificing alas literally so-the most
unselfsh devotion to the suffering, priya~
ton and distress of his fellow citizens Of
unhappy Norfolk. With heroic zeal Mr..
Ferguson has encountered the common
enemy through all the thickest of the con-
tlict, and in the midst Of it has fallen an
accomplishing victim to its relentless
sway. In the prime oflife, upon the thresh-
old Of domestic enjoyment, and surrounds
ed by the attractions of wealth, he might
naturally have withdrawn from the home
of his adoption to that of his early years,
but having cast his lot with the people Of
that city, he has performed the CHEST
duties of the citizen, shared the common
peril with the poor and the lowly, fallen
before the destroyer in the moment of
death and passed to his eternal reward.
Amongst the Towards and the heroes of
mankind, William Boyd Ferguson has
earned imperishable renown.
The deceased was born in Baltimore on
the 22d of May, 1894, and was therefor
thirty-one years and four months old on
the day ofhis death, the 22d ult. He was
the son of Thomas Ferguson, ESQ.,, for
upwards offorty years merchant on Bow
ly's wharf in this city. And here the
early days of the deceased were spent,
and he has numerous friends and acquain-
tances in this city to mourn his loss and
honor his memory. He gave promise of
useful public life before he left Balti-
more, and represented the 10th ward in
the City Council in 1851. He was an ac-
tive member of the First Baltimore Fire
Company, and on the reception of the IN
telligence of his death yesterday morning,
the fire department of the city generally
testified their respect for his memory by
tolling of bells and hslf-masting of flags
on the different engine houses. Other in
situations exhibited the same symbols of
mourning throughout the day.
About four years since he removed to
Norfolk, and entered into business there
successfully, and year ago he married
an estmable lady of that city, who still
survives him, but at the last date from
Norfolk was lying i'll of the fever. She
viii have the sincere sympathies of our
citizens alike in the personal suferings to
which she is exposed and the loss she has
sustained in her noble husband. -BdH

HOUSE FURNISHING ART1cLEs.-To any
of our friends desiring articles in this line
we would recommend j. G. Harbour of
of Wheeling, whose advertisement ap-
pears in another column. We have made
some purchases from his establishment
which have been very satisfactory, both
in quality and price, and We can there
fore confidently recommend it to others.
Mr.. Harbour is one of those upright, &C.
commodating gentlemen, with whom it is
a pleasure to do business.

A CHANCE FOR CATTLE BuYERs.-A
resident of Nicholas, Va, writes as fol-
lows
Cattle are quite abundant throughout
this section that is, stock cattle. In the
immediate vicinity none are fattened for
market, though frequently kept till four
years old and think from your accounts
of the beef market in New York, droves
might be collected in Nicholas county that
would pass the inspection of your beef
critic much better than some that come
under his notice. A small drove passed
up the river, of ordinary four year olds.
bought in Braxton county, at $95 each.
I think stock raisers in parts where cats
tie are scarce, might do we'll to visit
Braxton and Nicholas counties.
The cost of transportation of these cat
tie to this market may be $40 head
The cost from Central Ohio is only So at
the present time.
We suppose the class of cattle raised in
that section in ordinary condition, such as
spoken of would average FIVE hundred
pounds, which would sell for $40 per cwt.

PORTUGUESE EM1GRANrs IN ILLINOIS,
a correspondent of the st. Louis Repub-
lican, wriIiDg fran Springfield, gives an
interesting account of settlement of
Portuguese emigrants, sent out under the
care of the Presbyterian Mission Society
Of New York. They are located near
Springfield. The writer says:
They are unobtrusive in their manners,
strict in their attendance at church, where
they appear dressed with scrupulous neat
ness. They are willing and DESTROYS at
all times to labor. but at the largest
prices they can obtain. Most of those
with families now own lots and houses
They have built, also, a very respectable
church. They occasionally making re-
mittances to their distressed friends vet
remaining upon heIsland of Madeira.
Indeed, they are prosperous people, and
show what can be done here by virtu-
Gus class of laborers, who are willing to
labor, indulge in no idleness, who are pru-
dent, and use all the savings that they
can possibly make to secure them the
comforts of " homesteads."

WHAT ARE THE SOUND DUES ?-As
these dues may possibly give rise to a
serious dispute between the United States
and Denmark, it will be interesting to
know what they are. The Sound" is a
narrow strait lying between the Island of
Zetland, belonging to the Danes, and the
Swedish coast, and give entrance to the
Baltic sea. The fortress of Cronburg
Castle commands the passage, and exacts
a payment from all vessels entering the
Baltic; the ships of Denmark herself have
to pay, as we'll as foreign tonnage.
England, France, Holland and Sweden
pay duty OF one per cent. on every car
go entering the Baltic. Other countries,
including the United States, pay one and
a quarter per cent. ; even Danish ships
are taxed to this rate. In the year 1926
a treaty recognizing this duty, was con-
cluded between the United States and
Denmark. This treaty, however, ac~
cording to one of it's sti pulations, may be
dissolved by either of the parties, provi-
ded they give one years notice of their
intention. This notice has been given by
the United States, and hence the dispute.

WEDNESDAY, OCT. ,, 1858.
The Wheeline Fair.

Welast week went to Wheeling for the
purpose of visiting the Agricultural Fair
and Cattle Show OF the Northwestern Vir-
ginia Agricultural Society: We had Wis
tied one or two similar exhibitions, where
we had found much of interest, pleasure
and profit, hut that just over at Wheeling
might be summeds mp in one ANIMAL
gigantic bore. z5,..
The agricultural specimens we're very
limited and very inferior, and might have
been beaten almost two to one by Harri>
son county. Indeed, the most remarka>
BILE growth that we saw there, was from
Harrison. 1t was bean stalk taken on
by DR.. A. F. Barnes of this place,
which measured fifty feet long.
There were some fine horses there, but
none very extraordinary, with perhaps one
exception, that of young Morgan horse,
owned in Washington county, Pennsyl>
vania, and raised in Vermont. We are
not sure but the best horses there were
not on exhibition.
Simon Arnold of this county, has finer
cattle than any that were there. The
sheep were very inferior. The hogs we
did not go to sec.
Most of the space allotted to manufac-
lures, agricultural productions and poul-
try, was vacant:
There were exhibited some fine daguer-
reotypes taken by Adams & Co. of Wheel
ing, and some fine monuments, statuary
and tomb stones, from the marble works
of NJ. J. Rohan.
The fair was numerously attended by
people from all sections of the surrounding
country-Northwestern Virginia being
very well represented.

ATTEMPTING TO HEAD OFF DEsERTERS.
Several of the know nothing lodges in
Georgia. with the view of arresting tho
stampede that prevails in that State.
have resolved to close their doors for the
balance Of the season. The reasons as
signed for resorting to trick which
must prove an unsuccessful one arc az
follows:
"1st. To escape, or at least break the
force of, the prejudice existing among
many outside against the grips, signs,
and passwords, and other tomfoolc-
ries, and against the ritual, the solemn
oaths. and pledges of the secret order.
I'D. In order to deprivo discontented
members who may become Disguised and
DESTROYS of Withdrawing Of the opportuni-
ty of doing SO between this and the
election.
AS there wou Id be no council meetings,
there could be no designations and dis
missals and the calculation is, that those
sworn will be held by their oaths to sup.
port the know nothing candidates, even
though it may conflict with the personal
preference of the repentant brother"

" ALL THOSE Opposrp TO Looorooorsu.

ALL THOSE OPPOSED TO LoooFocoBM."
The Democrats who have been deceiy-
ed into the Know-Nothing lodges will
find that opposition to their old party is
the real motive (though MOI always adj
mitted) Of the leaders Of the new organi-
cation. The Bucks County Pa. intel
ligencer, a wing paper, speaks Of The coll
of the secret order in that county as fol.
lows:
"on Saturday convention is called
at the courthouse by the American sx-
ecutive committee, in Wlsich all persons OPP
posed to locctocoim are invited to take
part, TO place in nomination county tick
et."
So that hostility to foreigners, to Cath.
olics, and to the naturalization laws, is ell
abandoned, for the purpose Of destroying
the g locofoco party, which the Pills
delphia convention, by unanimous Vots,
resolved out Of existence last June.
