the Union, of the Democratic party, and

The Staunton Spectator. speaking OF the
canvass for Governor, in this State, says -
$50 far "a we were concerned, it was unue-
cessary for Mr.. Letcher to write letter to
explain bis connection with DR.. Ruffner's ad-
dress; We have the utmost confidence in him
in regard to the Institution Of slavery. ln
other respects also, while Mr.. Le,cher has
been faithful to bis party, be has had the
good fortune to secure the friendly regard Of
his political opponent; and We prefer bis
election to the Office Of Governor 10 that OF
any one who has at present the least chance
for the place. But We wish TO expose the
iosincerity of this grouudless charge oil Adolf
tioDism which has been preferred by the
Democracy against every Wig candidate
for Office for the last ten years OF more
The party are now perfectly willing aud
anxious to elect Mr.. Letcher Governor, not
wlthstarding this alleged blot on his record;
but just 80 soon as an Opposition candidate
is presented in another canvass, the same
old raw heads and bloody bones" will be
paraded before the people, to frighten them
into the Democratic ranks"

says:-"At the present time there seems to
be neither disorder nor excitement, all doing

WASHINGTON, July 3, 1858.
Gentlemen: have received ycur very kind
invitation TO be present at the meeting oil my
fsllav citizens in Independence Square, TO
celebrate the approaching anniversary OF our
National Independence. Would that 1t were
i, NV power TO ACCEPT the invitation. This,
however. is impossible. May we ever con-
,irue to celebrate, with ardent enthusiasm,
throughout the length and breadth OF the
land. each successive return OF the day when
rave us birth as a patton. Whilst we do thus,
and thus keep alive, from generation to gene
ration, the memory of the common snferl1gs
and the common dangers which cur fathers
encountered in achieving our Independence,
the Constitution and the Union will be pre-
served.
| congratulate you, with all my heart, upon
the present hopeful prospects Of our country.
| humbly trust that kind Providence has
dispellsd the angry clouds which bot recently
seemed TO impend over 1t, aHd that we nave
nearly reached the end of those violent and
exasperated sectional controversies which
have threatened the Union.
When We contrast the present condition OF
our country with what it would have heen at
this moment had Congress adjourned With
out ensc,ing any law to mitigate the sectional
strife which had been ragiog for years be-
tween the States of the Copfederacg, we
have every reason to be thankful to the SUI
preme Ruler Of nations, who has ever inter.
iered ut the hour of our greatest need to
shield Us from danger.
From yoor friend, very respectfully.

The Richmond Dispatch says that the visit
of the Seventh Regiment of New York Vol
unteers to Virginia has elected one univer-
sal and enthusiastic outburst of admiration
and applause. 1t was everywhere said that,
much as we had heard of the magnificent,
drill and discipline Of this crack regiment of
New York the half bad not been told. Their
whole appearance aud bearing, both as sol.
diers and Us gentlemen, has taken every body
by storm. We really cannot conceive of
greater perfection in drill, in uniformity and
precision of movement. The regiment NOV
ed like one man, like an exquisite and per-
feet machine, the effect Of the whole being
heightened by the perfect simplicity aud un-
pretending character of their Uniform.

The Union says that the Secretary Of the
Interior has Instituted an inquiry through
the agricultural division of the Patent Office
as to the expediency of establishing nursery
in Washington, with view Of furnishing
public grounds with ornamental trees. a
public square of some five acres, situated on
Missouri avenue between Four-and-a half
and sixth streets, we understand, offers many
advantages for an object of this kind. 1t is
proposed to collect the seeds Of our native
forest trees by officers at eur military posts,
Indian agents, and other iuuctionarles EN-.
ployed by the government. 1t is believed
the trees can be furnished by tbs method Tor
less than one-tenth of the cost which has usu-
ally been incurred for ornamenting the city.
By this means, in after.years, the metropolis
will present perfect Arboretuni Of Ameri-
can trees so far US they may DO adapted to
this climate. 10 connection with the same
enterprise it is proposed to plant the tea
seeds now being collected by MIR. Fortune in
China, which are expected to arrive early
next winter.

An HIS oLD Thrcks VIZ srsprcr.-Phineas T.


Ar HIS OLD Tricks WE SusPEcr-Phineas T.
Barnu1n, the great mammoth hu,nbug ofihis 9th
century, who has didiled pretty much the whole
civilized world, the Wheeling public included,
is again on his legs and we suspect, at one
of his old sleight-of hand attempts to turn
penny into an eagle in the shortest space of time
possible.
The ,use is, now, to bring Chats what he
proposes to do) over an opera company--no less
a company than Her slaiestys, Queen Vic's
own To do this, Phineas advertiSes in the New
York papers, will cost him about seven thou
sand dollars per night, or one hundred and forty
thousand dollars for the twenty performances
to which he is getting up subscriptions
Before he commences, Phiueas must have he
SAYS, six hundred subscribers at five dollars per
night or one hundred dollars for the twenty
nights-making sixty thousand dollars TINS
he wants merely as a guaranty OF good falth
that the New York public will take hold of the
institution which he proposes to import. lie,
Phneas. will magnanimously run the risk of
making up the remaining eighty thousand, some
how or other. Some of the New Workers have
nibbled as of old, at this bait of Phineas, and
he has hooked on about one half of the required
suckers In the meantime, while the suhscriP-
ton is in process, some suspicious fellow has
written letter to one of the New York papers
intinating that the London Opera House
Company is no great shakes, after all, suppos-
ing it is imported by Phineas- This letter
seems to have riled Phineas; whereupon he
writes a letter, telling how indifferent he is
about the project, of which letter this is the
conclusion:
However, write this merely to say that tits
of no particular moment to me whether this
scheme, in its proposed form, is carried out or
not. have laid my programme before the pub

test its disposition to support colossal under

with the public. If they think the project is
premature, or that they paying too much
ior the whistle" | have no fault to lind, but on
the contrary, shall be quite content to letope-
ratio matters be carried on usual, by others,
while pursue certain plans which know are
feasible, and which are already in state Of
progress OF two things rest assured: first,
that shall not, at this stage of my career, call
on the public to patronise any scheme which is
rtn,oorthy of their support and secondly, that

re Judge then proceeded to pronounce
TEE DHATa SENTENCE.

The present term of this Court has been one
of the saddest periods of my life. Whatever of
error and sin and sorrow had witnessed among
mankind, had deemed could be mainly renedi-
ed by some or all of the agencies within the
control of man. | had hoped that education,
political institutions and measures, with honest
and earnest agitations of the public mind upon
all subjects capable of discussion, would have
contributed to ameliorate, to improve and final
ly to elevate the whole mass of the people to tue
perception of their noblest rights as embodied
and enforced in the obligations of duty. But
the increasing conviction, foreshadowed by fire.
quent concurring causes, that there is portion,
a large portion of mankind, for whom there is
no hope of elevation or dignity in this life and,
Sadder still for them, as for others of higher
culture, no prospect of happiness beyond, has
made my heart sad, as one who Inourns many
hopes that are lost.
1t is painful to look around upon our numer-
Gus Free Schools, where children may be taught
many lessons, where they should be instructed
constantly in duties of selfdenial and practical
virtue; ii is melancholy to contemplate our
varied, open, and, in general tendencies, harmo-
NOUS churches, where prayer and praise in due
solemnity and order ascend to the Common Fa
ther Of our common race, and then to turn and
behold the numbers and characters OF the wretch
ed beings who live without virtue in this world,
and seem wholly ignorant and disregardful of the
Deity who has given his laws for this life, and de-
nOunceQ MS judgments 1Or the next II 10 situi
even amidst the thankfulness of those whose
lives are guided by a sanctifed faith, and who
are prepared to die with blessed hopes, to recall
the scenes which have been exposed to the pub
lie gaze in disposing of the criminal calendar of
this term larceny, burglary, robbery, perjury,
prostitution, murder, aud the horrors of the
three last concentrated in one foul offence. Nor
is this rendered the less sad by the knowledge
that scarcely any of these, and but few of the
many, who have received the punishment of the
law during the entire term of my duties, have
been the native children of the Commonw ealth-
They are uieh and women, and, come from where
they may, they teach the fatal haitage of our
common nature.
Young men have been prosecuted who might
have been industrious aud useful members of
society. But they had not been taught the no
blest lessons of our lives, that q the post of
honor is a private station, when its charities
are recognized and all its duties are fulfilled
But our young are brought up in the in
diligence of every RIGHTEOUSNESS of thinking and
acting, until the coarse lusts of habitude weaken
the moral susceptibiIities and strengthen the
tendencies and the determination to evil, and
the human will becomes only the forceful en-

PITrsBURGH CREDIT IN PHILADELPHIA.-The
City of Pittsburgh wants loan of 5000, and
so advertises to that effect in the iladelphia
papers Upon the appearance of n want,
one of the Philadelphians, an unfort''' ate bond
holder, we suspect, comes out in Que of the
Philadelphia papers and gives Pittsburgh and
Allegheny County particular fits. He, the
writer, wants to know how, in any sort of com
mon decency, Pittsburgh can show her coun-
tenance in the City of Philadelphia right in the
place where her protested paper is lying round
loose by the thousands of dollars.
If it wasn't that we're in little sort of an
uncertainty down here, ourselves, we would be
apt to run out and climb up on of the Sus-
pension Bridge corridors and give vent to a cock
n-doodle-doo over the following paragraph in this
man thus kicks Pittsburgh out of the corpora
ton limits of ''Brotherly love-" I
That city, in common with the county of Ale
gheny deliberately repudiated all her bonds is
sued in payment Of her subscriptions to various
railroads-which bonds, upon thei" facs, solemn
ly pledge the faith, credit, and property" of
the said city and county. The subscriptions
for which they were issued, were duly and reg
ularly authorized by various acts of the Assem-
bly, of the Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania
And yet they have the modeSty to ask us here
in Philadelph ia-where these bonds are chiefly
held-to make them an additional loan OF 500
600 upon the security of their worthless bonds,
with a fresh pledge, no doubt, of the faith,
credit, and property" of the city of Pittsburgh.
Their faith" has already been acknowledged
to haye departed by act of Reputation. Their
''credit' does not, or ought not to exist, and
their property" they withhold from their just
creditors.
They first injure us to the extent of millions,
and then they insult US to the extent of thou
sands Let capitalists beware how they touch
the securities of such faithless corporations.

A DIG AT THE rook BACHELORS.

DR.. Horace Green remarked that the swill-
milk was defended here solely by the old bach
elors and the childIess married men, while the
fathers of the largest families were most earnest
in their endeavors to abate the nuisance. He
had frequently made both chemical and clinical
observations of the deeterious qualities of swill-
milk. But, as there seemed to be some hesita-
ton as to the propriety of an expression upon
the subject at this time, and lack CT unanimity
upon subject on which an unanimous express
sion was desirable, he moved to postpone ii 10
the Eext meeting, and that members be notified
that at that meeting the subject would be one of
the fixed topics.
