Esg@ important results are anticipated
from the expedition commanded by Gen.
Burnside, which lately set sail for Annap.
Oils We do not know what part of the
South it is intended Gen Burnside shall
attack. The accepted theory is that a
demonstration will be made on the lower
Potomac, for the purpose of breaking the
rebel blockade, and obtaining control of
that great river-that an advance move
ment will then take place in the direction
OF the Rappahannock, at which time a
simultaneous movement will be made

Senator summers speec,

The speech of Hon. CHARLES srv,,r.
in the United States Senate, on Tbur.a.
last, in relation to the Trent affair, is m;
versally conceded to be a most briI,;o1.
and powerful effort, in every way vo,tI
of its eloquent and distinguished autbo.
Mr- SUMNER sustained the policy of+h.
administration, and demonstrated M.
clearly that it had achieved a dinlom..;
triumph of the highest value. Ha :.
marked that every principle Of intern,
tional law, when justly and author;tstir.
ly settled, becomes a safeguard Of neoo,
and a landmark Of civilization. and
hearsed the circumstances Of what /.
termed the taking of "two old men q.
izens of the United States, and two vorn,,
er ones, fellow Rebels, who had stolen on,
OF the country to the neutral port Of IN
ba. One of these ''two old men, ~,
the author of the Fugitive Slave Law and
the other Of that system of Fillibusterir,
which had SO disgraced the country
Following out the principles and cbarac-
teristics thus indicated, they finally inst;
gated Rebellion for the overthrow Of II,
Government. He remarked that II w..
such mel as these that Captain WILKEsbad
captured and brought back to Cur shores
The captain, in so doing, had obeyed the
impulse Of patriotism, and under British
example which he could not forget had
fallen, it seemed, into a violation Of the
law of nations as the United States has
always declared it-even the great prin-
ciple of the American doctrine in support
of the rights of neutrals. But, if in the
ardor of an honest nature, Capt Wilkes
had erred, he might well say
''Who can be wise, amazed, temperate and
furious,
Loyal and neutral in moment No man"
He had, it was true, captured those
who were traitors, consplrators and rebels,
all in one ; but 1t was better even that
such should go free, than the law of na-
tions should be violated-betterth that many
guilty should escape, than one innocent
not go free. 1t should not be forgotten
that this question was simply one oflav,
and that, in times past, on this identicsl
point, Great Britain had persistently held
an opposite ground from that which she
now takes Mr. SUMNER pursued bis
subject at length, approving the course
of the Administration, and declaring that
the surrender Of the traitors Mason and
SLIDELL would be a settlement, in our
favor, Of the vexatious question of the
right OF search--a right which England,
by virtue of her supremacy or the seas,
has always pretended to have, but one
which the United States Government has
always firmly rejected. During the de-
livery Of the speech, the Diplomatic Corps
were largely represented, including the
Austrian and French ministers. Lord
LYONS, however, was NOT present

Cambria County
CHAPTER XNXvH.
Munster township.

This township has only been erected
some half score Of years since, when it
was formed from portions Of Allegheny,
Cambria and Washington. 1t is bounded
on the East by Washington, on the South
by Washington and Summerhill, on the
West by Cambria, and on the North by
Allegheny. Its chief town is Munster,
named, not as would be supposed from
the Southern Province of Ireland, but
from town Of the same name in Germany,
renowned as the birth place of the reyered
Gallitzin.
Munster was, at one time: the formida-
bic rival of Ebensburg and Beulah for the
Seat of Justice and though more fortu-
nate than the last named place, her prog
ress was seriously retarded by the growth
of her successful rival At the same time
it must be admitted that Munster is bet
ter site for a town or village than either
of her rivals. Munster is the centre of
trade of Munster township, has a post
office, country stores, &c. 1t is located on
either side of the Northern Turnpike, on
beautiful plateau.
Munster Township is not adapted to
the growth of wheat or corn, but is per-
haps, the best grazing township in the
County. Nearly all the land is tillable
Large quantities of excellent butter is
manufactured in this township.
This township is also fortunate in her
improvements. The Ebensburg & Cres-
son Rail Road, entering near the residence
of David O'Hara, Esq, winds through
the centre of the township, curving with
in a few rods of the town of Munster on
the North, and passing thence to the
South Eastern corner of ALLEGHENY
Munster station occupies, Cor aciW occupy
triangle on the road from Munster to
Loretto, in the land of Aug Durbin, Esq.
In addition to this, the Huntingdon, Cam
bria 4 Indiana Turnpike Road passes from
East to West through the length of the
township. 4 public road leads from
Munster to Wilmore, with branch to
Portage. Another from Munster to Lo-
retto, by tie Old Ebensburg Road. An
other public road passes from the Eastern
portion of the village of Munster to the
Loretto Mill and still another, leaving
the CHERRY tree" as it is called, at the
corner of the OHara place, terminates at
Hernlock.
The township, as we have intimated, is
level. The largest hill, only part of
which is within its boundaries, is Mullins
Hill.
An old Indian plum orchard still shows
Its remains on the hill North of Parrish's S
in this township.
Its waters are the springs of Conemaugh
and Clearfeld-the one rising North, the
other South of the Turnpike.
The population of this township, az
cording to the census of 1860, is 500.

Not shout was heard, not joyous laugh.
As poor JEFF to the platform they hurried
For the chivalry knew by the telegraph
What in Tennessee had occurred
They swore him in while he inly swore-
The foam from his lank jaws churuing.
And a moose seemed dangling his eyes before,
With his es.igy meath it turning.
He thought how the foe in the far Southwest,
Had haunted his sles,less pillow, --,r
And how Floyd of the white-goose feather crest,
Had been footed DER dale and hill oh
The inaugural job was scarce halfway done
When the concourse with dread shaken;
For a message was brought by some son oil gun,
That Nashville, alas. was taken.
Loudly JEFF groansd DER the city gone,
FAnd the people with questions bored him,
Till they saw 5y the way he maundered on
That the terrible news had foored him.
Only the man of the Richmond Wing
Was cruel enough to upbraid him,
But he said right out, the ungenerous pig
jeff had ruined the people who made hint"
Sadly the mournful mummery passed,
Amid pitisu lamentations,
And no CLEAN of hope cheered the first and last
Of Secession inaugurations. $3.50 ...rsfl

Shall shine alone in their glory.

Asparagus.

As this plant is only used for the Ia
bic, it may properly be termed culin.
ary vegetable. 1t is very much es-
teemed by connoisseurs as an early,
nutritious and healthful esculent. y
Asparagus is propogated from the
seed or root scions. The seed should
be sown early in the Spring, in deep,
light, sandy soil, well MANFRED, and
should be thoroughly cultivated through
out the first season, as its future success
depends very much upon its attaining
vigorous, thrifty growth the first year.
Plants thus treated may be trans
planted to their permanent bed the
second season, and the third year will
be in good condition for cutting.
The transplanting of root scions is
made direct to the permanent bed, as
of the plants derived from seed.
The following method of transplant
ing, and subsequent culture, has
proved successful. Dig trench three
feet deep, and as wide as may be neces-
sary for the bed-fill it at the bottom
to the depth of six inches or more with
bones, brick, old cast.off boots and
-sifoes, any rubbish of the forego-
ing nature-the object is to under-drain
and leave a free passage for the roots
on the top of this put layer, say a
foot thick, of stable manure, partly
mixed with soil; upon the top of this
place the plants, aud level up with
earth, mixed with fine manure. If the
land is heavy, sand should be mixed
with the covering of earth The plants
should be at least three inches below
the surface.
In the Fall, give the bed good
heavy top dressing of manure, suffering
it to remain until Spring. AS soon as
the ground can be worked, fork or rake
in the manure, and stir up the ground
thoroughly. A good dressing of sal,
spriDkled upon the bed is essential, and
very much improves its quality as dc
all fertilizers the more powerful the
better. ,.-.. -.a.
In England, where asparagus is
raised for the London market, garden
ers practice covering the beds in the
Spring with forest leaves to the depth
of three inches; cutting the shoots as
soon as they begin To prick out above
the leaves. This practice gives it that
fine blanched appearance which is re-
garded as Indispensable, and the flavor
is better than if exposed to the sun.
Early in the morning or late at night
is the time for cutting; which is per-
formed with long sharp knife, run
ming into the ground and severing the
shoot near the roots.
1t is said that asparagus has asmuch
finer taste or flavor if eaten shortly at
ter being gathered.
When raised for market it should be
tied in small bundles after being cut,
and packed in light sand, or some such
matarial. II should never be stored in
water, as is too common practice, toI
the several ends continue to bleed and
the goodness all escapes, leaving it
tasteless and insipid.
Of the various methods of cooking
the following is undoubtedly the best /:
Wash the shoots, put them in frying
pan or spider with water enough to
cover well broil briskly twenty min
utes; salt to taste; have ready some
nicely buttered toast; pour the aspara-
gus with whatever water remains in the
pan upon the toast; serve up hot. a
dish fit for a monarch.
