In the outbreak of our civil war the PEG
pie of the South and of Virginia particu-
larly were much inccnsed ut the espousal Of
the Union cause by General SCOTT. A rep
resentative testimony of this fact was wit
messed in the burning of his ellisy at the
University of Virginia at Charlottesville by
students in attendance from different por-
lions of the Confederacy.
This incident reached the ears Of an hon
est German farmer, whom VIC will call Mr..
SwEITzER, residing near Mt. Scion. The
old fellow revered the hero of Chippewa
and the conqueror of Mexico; he was hor-
rfied at the barbarity of the students. He
rushed across the fields to the little town to
ascertain the truth of the portentous report

Worked Ep.-Some three weeks ago
one night after the lamps We're cXtngushod
one on Main street was rc-lighted by some
parties pressed for amusement. The fact
coming to the knowledge of Bailifi EVANS
the next day, he at once set about working
it up. For some reasons he suspected GO.
kREITzBURG, PHILIP BLAKE and GEORGE
FISHER. A warrant was obtained for the
arrest of the first named upon the charge
and the latter two as witnesses. After .
hearing Justice WEIs fined KREITzBURG
s. and $2.45 costs. The testimony impli-
eating the three, FISHER and BLAKE were
arraigned and KRErTZBURG made witness,
the result of which was fine of S. each
and $215 costs.
Rather expensive, but the fun in these
pranks might be lesscned if the Council
would put on a little stronger fine for such
offences.

AGaoss Suggestion

suggests in the following paragraph an ar
ranrement which, if adopted, viii place a
large community under obligations TO Mr.
SLACK. While the run to Frostburg is
much to be preferred, yet, if adding much
Inconvenience to the movements of coal
trains, it would he favor to the travelling
public to run up to the Lower Depot at
least. Our people, we believe, will not only
be glad TO see this arrangement made, but
will assist in making it remuncratire:
&C. SLACK, Esq, of the Cumberland and
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad would receive the
thanks of the people of this city and those
along the line of his road, would he but
place morning train thereon to run from
Cumberland to Frostburg and return before
the departure of the regular evening train
Such an arrangement would prove great
convenience to the travelling public and Il
source of remuneration to the company, and
if it can be done without causing too serious
interference with the coal traffic, the man
agemcnt of the road could not adopt q more
popular measure. At present the train runs
to Mt. Savage, and we cannot see what pre-
vents the extension OftlIc trip to Frostburg.'

THE GovERsoR's MESSAGE.
TO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatipes of The Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania:

TO the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatires of the Commonwealth oj
Pennsylvania:
GENTLEMEN In obedience to the
requirements of the Constitution,
have the honor of transmitting tC
you my sixth annual message. Since
your last meeting the general course
of events, both State and National,
has been so propitious as to afford
abundant cause for mutual congratu-
lation, and of thanksgiving to that
Almighty Providence whose will con.
trolls the destinies of all. While we
have been exempt from the calamity
by fire that has befallen the metropo-
lis of great sister State, her misfor-
tune has Injured to the benefit of our
people by the enlistment of that SYM
patby for the suffering which is one
of the most ennobling sentiments OF
the human heart. The seasons,
though not so favorable for the pro-
ductions of our soil as in some past
years, have been sufficiently fruitful ;
and no general epidemic has appear
ed to disturb the pursuits, or gill with
sorrow the hearts of our population.
Our mining industries, manufactures
and internal commerce are being con-
stantly enlarged and extended, and
their enterprising proprietors are gen.
orally receiving remunerative. returns.
A great political conflict has occur
red, resulting in signal triumph OF
the same principles that were assert
ed in the restoration of the Union,
the amendments of the Constitution,
and the reconstruction of the States.
The victory in Pennsylvania was de-
cisive of the victory in the Nation,
and will ever be remembered as an
inestimable contribution to the har-
mony prosperity and glory of the
country. The election of the soldier,
who "is first in war;" to the Office that
makes him first in peace" was an
appropriate exhibition of national
gratitude, and inspires the deepest
feelings of satisfaction "in the hearts
of his countrymen."
While the Constitution wisely with
holds from the Governor all power OF
interference in legislation, it imposes
upon him the duty of laying before
the General Assembly such informa-
ton as the state of affairs, and recon-
mending to their consideration such
measures as he may deem expedient
and important to the public welfare.
am happy to inform you that
peace and good order have been main
tanned by the enforcement of just and
equal laws, and the legitimate exer-
else of authority continues to lind an
enduring basis of support in the in
telligencc, affections and moral sense
of the people.

questioned abroad, because her pub

The Goaarich Murder.

A young woman named KATE SroD-
DARD was arrested in Brooklyn last
week, charged with the murder of
CHARLES GOODRICH, the Goth of last
March. She confessed the deed.
The Brooklyn Eagle says, regarding
the prisoner:
ssIt took but a few moments to create
among the bystanders the impression
that they were looking upon an insane
woman; and this woman is undoubtedly
insane, if ordinary indications Of lunacy
are tn be relied on. She sat there for a
full half hour, smiling and chatting pleas
antly, strange, wild light beaming from
her eyes all the while 1t was impossi.
BILE to converse with her, although she
talked sensibly enough, without being
almost absolutely convinced of her in
sanity, Miss Handley, in an interview
with a reporter, stated that the prisoner
was six years ago lunatic, and was an
inmate of a lunatic asylum, and that her
insanity was caused by disappointment
in love-"
The Eagle also Gays that when the
Chief of Police asked the prisoner to
hand him the locket, which is a very
large one, she was at first 10th to com.
ply; but seeing that resistance was use
less she passed it over. On receiving il
the Chief took hold to open it. "Oh, he
careful, be CAREFUL said she "there is a
mineral in that which l don't want to
lose" Despite the utmost care, however
little portion of the mineral, as she
called it, fell upon the floor, and this, to
the Chiefs surprise, she picked ur
promptly, put in her mouth and swal
lowed. "What did you do that for p
said the Chief. Looking steadily into
his eve, she said: THAT is Charles
Goodrich's blood" And sure enough
upon closer examination, the locket wa:
found to be filed with congealed blood
A few questions ELECTED the fact that or
leaving Goodrich's house on that Friday
morning she had taken away with her
among other things, cup full of blood
which had oozed from :hc brain. Thi:
blood had cOugealed, and she had beer

PiuckEng The Government pfseon

There is ground to fear that, taking
advantage of their contract with the
Treasury Department for placing the
new FIVE per cent bonds, and the law
Of Congress which requires the Geneva
award, when paid, to be Immediately in
vested in those bonds, the bankers syn
dicste will be able to enforce their claim
for a commission on the bonds in which
the payment is to be made In this way
they will get at least SI55,O0O without
any real service to the United States,
and at the same time will probably
charge handsome brokerage against
the British Government for furnishing
them with the bonds in which to make
their payment. 1t is thought that the
law Of Congress was expressly doctored
by Ben. Butler to produce this result
At the same time, by reason of the fail
ure OF Congress to organize Board to
adjudicate and pay these claims, the
holders will have good claim for in
terest against the Government from the
time of the payment by Great Britain
in September next until they shall bt

SALT LAKE, July 13-The San Fran
cisco (Arizona) Mormon Mission, pro-
jected by Brigham Young, to settle in
that Territory and build that section of
Tom Scott's Southern Pacific Railway,
has proven a disastrous and complete
failure. The entire colony, more than
seven hundred, are on their way home
to Utah again, many having :already ar.
rived. Others remain on the other side
OF Colorado River for want of boats,
which we're lost, to cross. The emil
grants experienced terrible suffering
The character Of the country was COM
pletely misrepsented. 1t was sterile !;
water and pasturage scarce Nothing
short of the Apache country came up
to the representations, and the colony
refused to take the chances of massacre
by the Indians. On their return, they
were compelled to throw away their
stores, and all heavy articles, to enable
them to reach water and feed for teams.
The condition of the people and their
train is extremely bad. The result has
shaken faith in the infallibility of the
head of the Church as an inspired
prophet.
