Whereas, a lawless infuriated inob from the
counties of Philadelphia, Lancaster, Adams, and
mher places, have assembled at the Seat ol Gov

terrupting and over awing the Legislature of this
Commonwealth, and of preventing its proper or
ganization and the peaceable and free discharge of
us duties :
And whereas the sai I mob have already, on this
day, entered the Senate Chamber, and, in an out
rigeous and violent manner, by clamoring, shout
ing, and threatening violence and death to some of
tne members of that body and olher officers ol
l ue Government, and, finally, by rushing within
tin* bar ot the Set. Cnuiiibcr, in defiance of ev
ery effort to restrain them, compelled the Senate
to suspend business :
And whereas, they still remain here in force, en
i ou/.igu.l by a person who is an officer of the
General Government, from Philadelphia., and are
setting the law at open defiance, and rendering if
ttmalefor the Legislative bodies to assemble in
ihe Capitol :
1 here!ore, this is to call upon the civil authori
ty to exert themselves to restore other to the itt
tnost ot their power, aad upon the military force
otthe Commonwealth to hold themselves in in
stant readiness to repair to the Sect nf Govern

GENERAL order.
Head-Quarters, 11th Division. Pa. Mi.
Carlisle, Dec. 5, 1638.
The Governor of Pennsylvania lias issued his
-order to (he militia to hold themselves in readi
i ess. at a moment's warniii?. to n ~st the civil au
thentic* iti suppressing insurrection, and in i:\een
’i igthe laws. As there is strong reason to appre
hend a necessity tor the use of militia force for
such wnrnnse, I do hereby order the first battalion
of Cumberland county V olunteers to hold them
selves in readiness to assemble, in parade order,
on one hotir'f notice, with arms and accoutrements
m good order, and each man provided with a
knapsack, blanket, Ac. ready to march at G o'clock
tomorrow morning, it' required. As public opin
ion is excited, and the feelings of men are much
roused, I deem it right to urge most earnestly up
on officers and men the propriety and necessity of
refraining from expressing any political feeling, or
any preference or dislike for parties or party men;
and that tin y should come forward with a firm de
termination to maintain the character of goo*'
soidiers, and to preserve the honor, the integrity,
and dignity of the State and of her laws.

The mail furnishes also, the following addition
al particulars connected with the commotion and
rebellion in Harrisburg:
Harrisburg, Dec. 6.
There was no meeting of either branch of the
Legislature to-day. The mob held undisturbed
control of thecapitol, threatening that the Dem
ocratic [Whig] members who entered should not
co me out alive. We believe that but few, even of
the Locofocos were there.
1 he mob still continues to hold meetings, and
the ringleaders to excite their followers to acts of
outrage and crime. But we understand they
were addressed today by Judge Blythe, who firm
ly, but severely rebuked their proceedings, which
has rati ter cooled their ardor.

SHOCKING RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Batimore, December 6.
.We‘regret to state that a serious accident, in
volving the loss of two lives, and very severe injury
to three pereons, occurred yesterday morning on
the Philadelphia rail road. In consequence of
employing att extra locomotive for the conveyance
of the President’s Message, on Tuesday,it became
necessary to send an engine to Havre dc Grace
yesterday morning, and one (to which were attach
ed a few burden cars, Containing, however, but ve
ry littlp freight) was ordered to start from Canton
immediately aftei of a train of freight
cavs from Philadelphia. The engineer, either mis
understanding the order, or hoping to be able,
with his very light load, to reach the first turnout
before the arrival of the coming train, started his
engine before the time appointed, and had pro
ceeded to w ithin half a mile of Stemmer's Itun,
(the first stopping point.) when the train from
Philadelphia approached, and* owing to the pre
valence qf a dome fog, neither engineer discov
ered danger until too late to apply the impeding
power. '4’he consequence was, that the two lo
comotives cattle together with givut violence, aid
Till: GEORGIA MIRROR.
in an instant both engines, with all the cars attach
ed to them, were thrown into a confused heap of
nun!?. Mr. Eowaku Ford, the engineer of the
train from Philadelphia, and a fireman on the
train going out, were instantly killed. The en
gineer ol tlie other locomotive and several firemen
leaped trom thocarx previous to the collision and
a though they saved their lives vve learn that they
are all more or less injured.
As the accident occurred on a part of the road
" hich passes through slightly elevated ground,
the ruins ol the cars and their contents so
completely blocked up tiie track that the pas
senger train which left Baltimore at half past nine
A. M. with the mail for the Eastern cities could
not proceed. The train was accordingly brought
back, and did not leave this city until half past sev
en last evening. The mail from the Eastward
was also delayed in consequence of the derange
ment at thirend of the road, and did not arrive
in Baltimore until half past eight o’clock yester
day evening.— American.

THE VAN BUREN MINUTE MEN.
Iu another part of our paper may be seen an
account of the shameful proceedings of a mob at
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Tlie Van Buren party in that State, with a
General Government officer at their head, seem
determined to prevent the sifting of the Legisla
ture; having assembled in great numbers from sev
eral counties, they have riven the Whig •mem
bers from the State House and threatened their
lives it' they attempted to organize.
We consider this a matter of serious import.—
If the peace and dignity of a Stata is to be out
raged, and members of the Legislature driven
from their seats by a lawless naob, then are our lib
el ties gone—our glory perished. Nothing should
screen these men from the utmost rigor of the
law, no matter what name they bear, or to what
party they belong. If, for a moment we permit
political prejudices so to inflame o.ir minds as to
drive us, rough shed, over the laws of our coun
try, and place her honor and dignity into the hands
of a lawless banditti, then will he aetbd over the
bloody tragedy of French Anarchy.
AVe have our views of political, economy, our
prejudices nod partialities, and generally express
them freely, but the honor ot ouv country and the j
dignity of her laws shall not be trampled under |
foot by arty party without meeting our indignant
rebuke.
The Pennsylvanians, in an unhappy hour, have
tarnished their name and disgraced their country,
and unless some efficient method be adopted to
put down those frequent and violent proceedings,
the whole country will be in a state of confusion
and anarchy.
These Minute Men are determined to take
the cause of the country in their own hands, and
have things .as they please or not have them at all.
Had they been rebuked with the severity «hich
the offer of their services to Mr. Van Buren re
quired, and been taught at once, that the country {
was to be ruled by wholesome laws and not by vi- j
olcnce and lorce t the tonntry might have been!
spared the disgrace heaped upon her by those ;
headlong vagabonds. We will not take the advan
tage which these outrages afford ns, to charge
them upon the Administration direct, but we do
fear the course pursued by Mr. Van Buren has
served in some good degree to bring the evil on
the country —innocently we will suppose.
If it indeed be true, as stated in the proclama
tion of Governor Ritner, thnt an officer of the
General Government from Philadelphia, is among
the mob, encouraging them to acts of violence,
for the honor ot the country he should be hurled
from office and infamy brand bis name forever.
The latest accounts from Harrisburg state that
the Militia had assembled there and quelled the
disturbances—several of the ringleaders having
been taken in custody—among them Pray, one of
the members of the House, and both branches of
the Legislature were proceeding in the di'charge
their duties,
, “DELIVERANCE AND LIBERTY.”
The Sub-Treasury is working admirably. The
day ot “ deliverance, and Liberty ” Ins commenced.
Mr. Swartwout, late Collector of the customs in
New York, hit* delivered the Treasury of upwards
ot a million of dollars: a 31r. Price, District At
torney for the same State, has taken leave of ab
sence in the Steamer Liverpool, for England, sup
posed to be a defaulter to the Government to a con
siderable amount; an Engineer, too. has lately
bean stricken from the list by Mr. Van Buren,
having been found a defaulter to the amount of
$50,000, besides a host of others too numerous to
mention, and how many more will be ferreted out
before the close of the present session of Con
gress we will not pretend to say.
These are practical illustrations of the lidclivcn
anrettnd libeity'' system, and if you do not ap
prove of them altogether Mr. Swartwout, Price,
Ar many others, who have pocketed the Rhino , do;
and tlie way palms of others are itching, for this
this golden, glorious •• Jeliveraace" is comfoitable.
I he officers arc acting on the principle that “the
world is a cheat, and he that 'does uot make the
most of it is a fool.” Whether it he souud philo
sophy or good ethics, we will leave for others to
determine.
We wish we bad a friend near Mr. Vanßutcn's
car to speak an ard i:i our favor, should the “<lelir
erance" system be fully established, for, to tell the
truth about the matter, we have so long been taking
out ot the t.roal tub and putting nothing in, that
wo have Cowe to the bottoqi, iHd unlesss we can
ni3tiage to get hold of some of rhe surplus reven
ue, on the “ delict ranee" plan, its a case with us.—
Is uot this plan of Van Bureu’s the best ii the
world 1 We should like, mightily, to have a fin
ger in the pie.
As we have given a short definition of “deliver
ancelet us say something about “ Liberty ,” for
you know that although Mr. Van Buren is for
divorcing the Government and Bunks, hs ha* join
ed together iu indissoluble bunds, “Deliverance
and Liberty ,” and rhe way they agree together is
a caution; for when you have filled your pocket*
to overflowing, (given time to your securities to
make a shant sale of their property, so that there
is not the smallest danger of thffir being injured,)
you have nothing to do but just to step on board
of one of the English steamers, wnd while the
smoke curls from her tremendous chimneys, mud
the whizzing steam tells you thw boat '.a under way,
wave a farewell to your friends ou the wharf, and
you are at /”
“Deliverance aUd Liberty !” Why the
very thought is rxhileratitig ! Hew mini those
teel then who have taken practical lessons on the
subject? He must be a strange kind of a fellow,
we think, w(io could, fur a moment, oppose this
golden system. For put part we oannot get mo
ney any where—the Banks In thiff country are hkc
rat traps, those who have gotten ?n can’t get out,
and their family vaults keen the wherewithal in as
much security, at least trom our w icked interfer
ence, as a Pasha his seragleo ; the wisdom of our
Legislature'ies so deep that it is not cotneatoide
at this time, it is folly to look for any relief from
them—where shall we took then but to “Deliver
ance.• and Liberty ?" Huzzah! we say for Mr.
Van Bureu’s system— -“ Deliverance and Lib

EXPLOITS OF ANOTHER VILLAIN.
A few months ago, Mr. Wilson, one of the con
victs, was let out of the penitentiary, his time of
probation having expired. (Os the nature of the
offence which caused the incarceration of our he
ro, we know nothing, cor is it of importance to
the history of facts which we have to relate, there
fore we will proceed with the narrative without
any further digression.) Finding himself once
more free, our hero reflected on the graceless
course which he had led, and determined to draw
the mantle of hypocrisy ovet the tattered garments
of bis character. In order to do this, like every
rascal, he assumed a long face, groaned nit un i
deeply, and finally took unto himselt a helpmate,
that he might settle down in life, and give in. r
his wandering propensities. The object of his
choice was a w idow from the emerald isle whose
heart was a blaze, and who gave it ‘all for love.’
.Seeing that her penitent spouse occasionally lan
guished in melancholy, administered comfort,
and together they enjoyed the consolations of
the Spirit. But this delicious state of things
could not last—'“’Twas bright, twas heavenly,
but it past.”
The rogue, by his assumed sanctity, opened
the heart of his amorous darling, and got admit
ted to communication with her purse ; and being
something of a philosopher, reflected that “money
like manure, does more good when scattered,”
•and to oarrv the principle out, walked off *vith -g
bout EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS, leaving
his “faithful one” all sad and forsaken. We will
now leave the trusting, betrayed', and broken b€ar-
I ted wife, and pursue the story of our hero's ed
ventures.
With the money which he had obtained in thiA
way. he rigged himselfont completely at Nash
ville. Tennessee, changed his name to Carlisle
subscribed to a paper, paid his subscription to get
up his reputation, and commenced courting an
other widow. Together with her, he visited the
penitentiary of that plaee, and aston'‘»lied the
keepers of it with bis knowledge of the discip
line ol such institutions. lie gave an accurate
account of the system employed in the Louisiana
penitentiary, pointed out its peculiar appropriate
ness, and mentioned, en passant, that the warden
was a particular friend of bis in fact, ha(l|beeu bis
guardian and therefore had allowed him to visit
the cells frequently, thereby enabling him to on
I derrtaud perfectly, the nature of its discipline,
j In order to impress his hearers more forcibly with
j an idea that he was an important personage, ht*
| mentioned the names of several merchants iu
town, who, he sard, were his particular friends
and acquaintances. These well told stories, his
air jf gentility, a.cl Ins tine looking person, cap
tivated the heart of th,° unfortunate woman whom
he "a- Courting, and she married him. Mr. Car
lisle alias Wilson, after enjoying the honey moon.,
left his new spotl it to go about his business, prom
ising to -cud for her as soon as he was ready to
return home.
II wen' fro:;) N s’.iville to Florence, Alabama,
w'here ho foil in with oome drovers and agreed to
purchase six horse team* from them, that he was
the son-in-law of a rich planter iu the vicinity of
Baton Rouge, that he intended to send the teams
to his partner iu Natchitoches, uu a speculation:
that his wife was at Nashville, and that thev were
going home hy laud, in consequence sf the low
ness of the water. He then sent for his newwi e
at Nashville, and introduced her to the drovers,
as the daughter of Mr. O’Neil the rich planter of
whom he had spoken; privately threatening tlie
unfortunate woman with his veugeauce, if she
should dare to contradict him. The party then
started off for Baton Rouge, and on the way, some
horses were sold, the proceeds of which, amoun
ting to about two thouxaud dollars, were entrust
ed the care of our rascally hero. He also borrow
ed about two hundred dollars fiom one of the
drovers, and when near Baton Rouge, left the
cavalcade under pretence of making arrangements
with his father-in-law, for receiving them, aud
galloped into town.
Some of the folks iu Baton Rouge were aston
ished a few evenings ago, to see the ci-devant con
vict, Wilson, enter the place on a fine horse aiul
with his pockets full of money which he lavished
with the utmost profusion, lie wus welcomed
rapturously by his rii*t wife who received this dis
gu,.e«j wolf ns her l'vsft sheop. But very soon af
ter hi* apjioatance, he became obstreprreus aud
■ .is committed to jail on the affidavit ofa citizen
whore life he had threatened to take. By this
time the cavalcade was fast approaching town and
rur hero beheld in perspective the gates of the
penitentiary opening wide to receive him again.
3ut fortune declared fur the scoundrel, the pros
ecution k a* withdrawn, and lie wtarted off immedi
ately on his liberation. The drovers and I.i* new
wife, arrived soon after, heard of hi* character,
6*ve »n account of his rascality, and a chase was
immediately after hint bui w ithout effect. Re is'
gone and perhaps will not be apprehended.
