ANoTuER AMERICAN TRIUNPH.--Wc have
had frequent occasion recently to speak
Of the success of the Atlantic Monthly
We have been prompted to do this from
an honest pride at the accomplishment
not only Of our own. but, we believe, Of a
national desire, to see our periodical liter
ature vindicated from the charge our Eng
lish brethren have so often brought against
it, that it cannot ascend above the level of
loye-sick stories and sentimental poetry,
because our reading public can appreciate
nothing better. Many an attempt has
been made to establish something similar
to the high-toned periodicals of England,
and as often as each attempt has failed, the
voice of exuliation from the English press
has been loud, and the cry raised that we
can't do it. Well do we remember this
when Putnam's Monthly was compelled
to give way, in which we thought we had
found a refutation of the established Eng
lish opinion in regard to us. But we can
now safely boast of triumph, as the At
lantic Monthly has attained a circulation
of 4O, 900, nearly double that ever reached
bv Putnam's, and is placed upon a sure
basis, its publishers being among the most
enterprising in our country, and have
been actuatcd TO a considerable degree, in
the establishment of the Atlantic, by this
same mortifying fact we refer to, that our
American literature lad no true exponent
The many expressions of favor and we'll
wishes received the past year from their
subscribers, prove that they too have given
their support to the Atlantic from dc
termination that our country, in spite OF
British misgivings shall have periodical
of its own, not only equal, but even suN
pcrior, TO any of those published in Eng
land. And HoW the English press have
honesty admitted that we have such 9
periodical. for the London Critic and
Atheneum have been lavish oftheir praise
the mast few months. The "Autocrat
has been published monthly in London
as il appeared in the Atlantic, calling forth
golden opinions and the confessian that
their own periodicals have contained moth
ing so brilliant since the "Noctes Ambro
) siane"
At the present time two different house:
in London monthly re-publish the "Min
ister's Wooing," by Mrs. IL. B. Stowe, ant
its circulation there almost exceeds tn,
same here. We have heard it stated tina
the editors have received and approved
up to The present tine, sufficient material from
American authors to furnish several mum
bers fully equal TO any that have yet ap
peared The April number is looked 70
as one of the very best yet issued. w
, repeat again, that in chronicling the sue
cess Of the Atlantic, we are expressing q
national feeling of something more thar
/, pleasure, that we have at last accomplish
ed our desires, and that our literature ha

Curious Freaks of Lightning -PrOvi-
Dental Escape.

From the Warren Mail we learn that
during the storm last Thursday evening,
the Morrison House in that place was
struck by lightning, reriously injuring
some of the inmates. The lightning struck
the chimney and was conducted down the
stove pipe to the dining room, where the
family were seating themselves for supper.
Mrs. Morrison, who was standing near the
stove at the time, was knocked down APP
uarently lifeless She was badly burned
by the fluid on her arms and limbs. a
pair of morocco shoes which she wore were
literally torn to pieccs-.he soles and the
uppers towards the toes were all that was
left in the shape of shoes. A woolen stocks
ing was also completely riddled, and a
ring on her finger unsoldered. A MISS
Pier, was also prostrated and badly burn
ed on the arms. Abijah Morrison was
whirled around but not prostrated. Abb
iah Morrison, jr., a lad some or 10 years
old was badly burnt on the arms ard legs,
and his shirt was scorched down the side
Sarah Sands, girl who was standing by
the table with tea pot in her hand, was
burnt on the arm, but not much hurt
4 Another girl, Sarah Nanosdale, was deaf
encd for several hours. Mrs. Rowe, {
boarder, was so badly shocked that she
could not walk and her little boy wa!
knocked down. Mrs. Morrson's daugh
ter Mary was also knocked down, while {
younger daughter and others in the same
room were not injured. Others in the vi
cinity felt the shock.
Altogether it was a most Proyidentia
escape from instant death, This FRIDAY
morning Mrs. Morrison and the boy Abi
jah are not able to sit up, and appear t.
be in a bad condition Miss Pier is ais,
feeble, though not seriously injured. Tht
others have recovered from all eXcep
their burns, which appear like those from
scalding water,-NcHea' Democrat.

SomcwrrL The Gettysburg pa Conc
pii,r gives an account of the loss of little
boy, four years Of age, son of Mrs. Oyler,
Of Cumberland county. He strayed from
home, and the whole neighborhood start
ed out on the search, securing the sur
rounding mountain through the day, and
displaying lighted torches after night. AZ
ter two days and nights, the little fellow
was discovered nearly nine miles from his
home. The Compiler then adds "The lit
tie dog, which had been the child's play
mate, and which had accom- anied him
in his long and faithful journey, was found
nestled in the child's bosom, with his
head reclining on his cold and lifeless
form. This faithful dog had tramped quite
a path around the lifeless body of the
sleeping innocent, thus betraying the af-
fection which It had for the youth, and in
its fond caresses had licked back the hair
upon the childs forehead. The corpse was
conveyed homo to its weeping mother,
who, under the peculiarly affecting cir
cunistances, was almost frantic with grief"

Ho1EL VILLA NARDI, SORRENTO,
February II, 1859.


Ny DEAR SlR:-The enclosed letter
would have been sent from Capri, had not
with the main land been
by wind and waves. As soon
as the sea became quiet we embarked for
this sweet and picturesque place.
1t was pleasant to find here letters and
papers from home awaiting our arrival
NV satisfaction, however, in reading the
papers, was somewhat marred by certain
paragraphs, which impute sinister politi-
cal motives to my friends and myself, in
connection with my protrac.ed absence
from the United States. The suggestion
that my voyage to Madeira, and subse,
quent sojourn in Europe, were prompted
by any object, except the one known to
the public, is, under the circumstances,
peculiarly wanton.
1t would be difficult, as believe | have
said to you in the inclosed, to convey to
you an adequate idea Of the extent TO
which | have enjoyed the repose which,
for the first time in twenty-five years, ii
has been my privilege TO command. For
Mrs. Pierce, exemption from care and eX-
citing causes of solicitudc is indispensable.
| cannot speak with any certainty as to
the period of our return, but, whether II
be earlier or later, you may be quit sure
that shall pidT no possible circumstances,
consent 10 the use OF my name in a man-
ner calculated to disturb the tranquil pur-
suits which alone pertain TO the life of a
private citizen. Your friend,
FRANKLIN PIERCE.

What is the Issue ?

The forneyites and Republicans are try
ing to make the people believe that the
issue made with the State Administration
was on the Iecomption question, and the
refusal to endorse Gov PACTEr, was ON ac-
count of his differing with the national adj
ministration on that question. Now moth
ing can be farther from the truth. No
such issue was made in the Convention ;
and the men who voted for the resolution
sustaining Gov. Z. were generally Lecomp-
ton men, and what is more significant still,
many of those who have repudiatcd the
use of their names to the call for a Bogus
Convention are well known to be deter
minedly Anti Lecompton thciropiniOns
In fact the gentlemen from this county who
so promptly rebuked themwarranteduseo OF
their names last week, are well known to
have approved the position taken by Scna.

is unauthorized, as ! most emphatically
concur in the proceedings of the late DEM
ocratic State Convention held at Harris
burg, on the 10th ult. Yours truly,

The above are the additional repudia-
tions of the unauthorized use made Of the
names OF the sterling Democracy Of this
county, received since our last issue, Col,
Smiley and Mr.. Dale, are among the last
men to aid in overthrowing the Demo-
cratic party by encouraging the intrigues
Of the opposition and whatever may have
been their views upon past issues, OF
which we know nothing, they have the
success of Democratic principles too much
at heart, to be misled, or flattered by the
conspicuous manner in which their names
have been brought before the public by
the Press.
Col. Worrcll, is well and favorably known
III llllo county, Us u lOIlllcI HltllDCI OF the
Legislature of this State, and working
Democrat. His views are more fully ex-
pressed in the following extract from q
Postscript accompanying his denial, in
which he defines his position clearly. "I
have advocated the Presidents course on
the Kansas affairs, as amatter expediency

have always opposed the sale of the Public

Compound Extract of SarSaparilla,

the most effectual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. 1t COM
bined from the most active remedials that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system from its destructive consequences.
Hence it should be employed for the cure Of
not only scrofula, but also those other affec-
tons which arise from it, such as ERuprIyE
and SKIN DISEASES, Sr. ANTHoNY's FIRE,
ROSE, or ERYsIPELAs, PTMPLEs, PusTuLEs,

RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIc and MERcURIAL Dis
EASES, DRoPsY, DYSPEPSIA, DEBILITY, and,
indeed, ALL COMPLAINTS ARISING FROM Vrrr,-
TED OR IMPURE BLOOD. The popular belief
in impwityof the blood is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sanapa-
rila is TO purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
