The art of living is beyond all question, one of the most important subjects that could bo submitted to the human mind. Too little at tention is paid to it, especially in the United States not only in eating too often and too much, but as regards the preparation of food. Nor do we expect that a reform will soon be - effected in this particular ; for we are well s- ware that reformers receive, as a general thing. but poor treatment at the hands of the public in this "fast" age. At the risk, however, of being called an intermeddler and a busy-body, we intend grumbling a little, if you choose so to call it, about a grievous, or, perhaps, more properly speaking, a greasy wrong, which we as a people are laboring under. This "uni versal YanWee .nation' of ours is, we know considered a rather slippery affair ; but if there is any truth in the aphorism, viewed in an un limited meaning, that "like produces like,' then, indeed, are we in danger of becoming an oleaginons race, and representatives of the 'Oily Gammon" tribe in a more literal sense than Sam. Warren intended the cognomen of that hopeful individual should convey. What we mean is, that we eat too much fat meat and oily food, generally ; and, we think, we are more likely, at some future period, to find our selves metamorphosed into a "monument of grease," than, like Lot's wife," into a pillar of that preservative article, commonly called Bait. No one can fail to observe that an im mense quantity of grease of one sort or an other is used in cooking now-a-days. Nearly every kind of "rich" cake is saturated with butter the most delicious pastry, forsooth, is filled with it your fowls, when brought to the table, are swimming in a little ocean of fat your eggs and potatoes are fried in it till they lose their distinctive tastes your lettuce and other vegetables emit an intensely oily flavor in short, grease varied, but interminable meets our gaze as yon scan the endless array of modern dishes that are placed before men, women and children to gratify their vitiated appetites. And then comes your fat meat pork, &c, the very quintessence of scrofula the germ of dyspepsia the first cause of half "the ills that flesh is heir to." And as all the different forms in which grease is used, present themselves to our imagination, we in voluntarily pray, "From such, good lord, de liver us," and onr stomach utters a hearty "amen" to it. The ancients, it is well known, abstained, to a great degree, from fat moats, and there is little doubt that to this habit were they more or less indebted for their vigorous constitutions and minds, and for their compar ative freedom from scrofulous and infectious diseases. And it seems to us that we could profit by their example. If we would eat mere light food, rice, puddings, &.c.,--and fewer rich, or rather, greasy victuals, and instead of placing inexperienced, uncultivated, unskillful Dutch and Irish in our culinary departments, we would elevate the standard and procure persons who had correct ideas of health and diet, we would bo individually benefitted, and the race, instead of degenerating, would soon be immeasurably improved. Thk Industrial Interests. .The result of the late election, says Frentice, looks as if the work-shops, theeoundries aud the shipyards wore to Lave a larger representation in the next Congress than tho trading politicians. Wben the people declare against such men as Glancy and Owen Jones, Fhiliips, Groesback, Dewart, Lcidy and others who have adhered to party in preference to national interests, and bartered the good of their constituents for personal or partizan advancement, we may hope that a movement has been made in the right direction toward breaking up that com bination which has basely betrayed the coun try on all the vital questions affecting its in dustry and business. The plow, loom and an Til are to have a voice in the capitol to the ex clusion of mule contracts, swindling purcha ses of military sites, and reckless appropria tions of public lands in payment of profligate jparty services. Keitt has been making another speech in South Carolina, breathing tho warmest devo tion to Buchanan. "Occasional" writes to the Press that this fact shows that Buchanan has succeeded in accomplishing what Old Hickory never ecu Id do adopting a policy exactly suited to the tastes of the nullifiers of that State ! This is one of the few things in which Buchanan has turpatsti Jackson ! As Interesting Experiment. Mr. Glancy Jones appeared to be so confident of re-election that he actually said he vat going to run only to show Mr. Buchanan how easy it vras to be elected a an Administration Democrat. The result of (his interesting experiment is , told by the offiaial returns. Judge Porter has in a pet resigned his seat on the Supreme -Bench, because the people re jected bim at the recent election. This act betrays a great deal of bitterness and regret, and indicates less self-possession and sober ness of mind than we thought he possessed.

Our usually complacent and pacific neighbor of the Clearfield Republican has "got his mad op," and in his last issue pitches into ns in a truly terrific style. He seems to be as irascible as a pet child that has lost some cherished toy "As peevish, cross and splenetic. As dog distract, or monkey sick ;" . ' and, in the pitiful objurgations he indulges in, makes allegations against us which are far from squaring with the truth. His article contains so many misrepresentations of such a palpa ble character, that we do not think it worth while to allude to them in detail. We give the following, however, as a sample : "Scarcely a number of the Journal has been issued for the last two months that does not contain some abuse and malignant slander up on the private character of some distinguished democrat; of this, however, Senator Bigler comes in for the largest share." Je-e-whil-li-kins ! I ! That would be really "orful" if it happened to bo true. But as the charge is false, it does'nt amount to much. The editor of the Republican cannot point out a single instance in which we have uttered a "malignant slander upon the private character" of any of his political idols. We have dealt only with the public character of men who have taken an active part in the campaign. If, in doing this, we hare rubbed up any sore spots, we cannot help it, nor do we regret it ; nor will we in future be deterred from expo sing the duplicity and misdeeds of any politi cal charlatan, be he even "some distinguished democrat" who has monopolized the entire ad miration of our neighbor of the Republican, and to say aught against whom may be con sidered an unpardonable offence a species of moral treason. As to the Republican dealing "generously" with candidates, the base attack made in that paper on Michael A. Frank, Esq., on the eve of the election, so late that there was no opportunity of replying, shows how much truth that declaration contains. Still we can m:ke great allowance for the plaintive fanfaronade of our neighbor just now, when he is laboring under tho depressing and dis tracting effects of an unexpected and most signal defeat. There is a contemptible class of individuals, known as toadies, whose principal aim in life seems lo be to hang around, admire and flatter men who may happen to bo prominent in the community. A few days since, one of these "posies" wanted to know "what right tho edi tor of the Journal had to say anything about Senator Bigler !" just as if we had not the privilege of commenting upon the public acts of a public man. What beautiful specimens of liberality and good sense these toadies are! Do they imagine that Clearfield county is a lit tle kingdom and Mr. Bigler a little king, of whom we, or no one else, dare speak without special permission from them 1 It they do, they are sadly mistaken. When a man is a public character, his acts, as such, are public property, which even the most humble citizen has the right of inspecting; nor can he reach such a great altitude as to be beyond the reach of free discussion. Mike Walsh, a noted New i"ork Democrat, graphically, though somewhat irreverently, illustrated this idea when he said that, "in this country, every man is as good as every other, and a d-d sight better."

By adding these to Mr. Frank's vote, as above, it will leave a majority of but 320 for Boyer in the District. Altho' it is to be regretted that Mr. Frank is not e- lected, yet it is gratifying to know that he was beaten only 201 votes in Clearfield, where the Democratic majority is usually 600 or more. It may not be inappropriate also to re mark here that the Independent candidate for Sheriff, Mr. James Irwin, Sr., run a vote of which he has reason to be proud, the majority against him being but 370. A new law, it seems, has been established in York county. In one district, tho names of a couple candidates were "scratched" off the tickets. The election officers decided that pencil marks were not lawful, and accordingly counted the tickets. This is one way of com pelling men to vote for a candidate whether they will or not. A little "scratching" a round of the brains of the officers might give them proper ideas of their duty. The Tariff xsd the Democracy The Richmond South has an article on the subject of "duties on iron," in which it takes bold ground agaist tho cherished policy of its allies in Pennsylvania, and informs them that they shall reeeire na aid from the universal De mocracy. It adds : "If we know anything of Democracy, the party will not, for a moment, entertain a pro position to impose additional duties on iron." Mr. Buchanan asserts his intention to "pre serve the unity of the Democratic Partv, cost what it may." i Vermont he has reduced the party to one Democratic Senator, and in Pennsylvania ho ha but one uncontested!

Philadelphia, Oct. 10, 1S58. His Excellency William F. Packer Governor of Pennsylvania Dear Sir: : On the first day of your entrance on official duty, I received from your hand a commission as a Judge of the supreme Court of 1 ennsvlvama. The event then considered possible, nerhaos I should say probable, has just been realized. I have little to say of the means w hich produc ed it. On receiving the appointment I thought that, being a Judge, actually sitting on the bench and deciding on the rights ol men of all shades of political opinion, I ought not tow-rite a political letter, nor make a political speech, lu the first place. I was not willing to hide with my claims to the oflice, however small, in the shadows of a mere political ques tion. In the next place, I was and I am thoroughly convinced, by reading and reflec tion, that whenever a judge can be elected by reason of his sentiments on any question of politics, that moment the real power of the judicial oflice will disappear. Possibly this may be very erroneous doctrine, very inop portunely expresed, but I shall maintain it while 1 possess a moral sense or rctiin a ration al faculty. In the certain prospect of a de feat far more disastrous, not one hairsbreadth of it should bo abated. The reverse which has occurred to the par ty is of less consequence than we are apt to suppose. The Democratic paity is coeval with the Government itself, aud it will exist so long as the Republic endures. Within its ranks men will always be found who remain there only' to do with more success the work of disorganization. The party itself, though depressed, is not destroyed. The point of its lowest depression is that from which it will, of necessity, begin to rise. At this moment, I solemnly believe it to be the best and stron gest political organization which has ever ex isted for preserving the interests of the whole country. Now to the point. I am not weak enough to suppose that the enclosed commission has had much to do in causing tho present politi cal excitement. Nevertheless, it is plain that the people of Pennsylvania prefer another person as a Judge of their Supreme Court. In these circumstances, it seems to me a simple dictate of delicacy and propriety to retire from the office. In addition to this, I ought to state that there are several important cau ses pending in which I wish to take part as counsel, and these require immediate atten tion. I therefore, enclose my resignation. The office was tendered by you very . kindly, without solicitation on my part. I resign it gratefully, and without, as I hope, having brought upon it a stain of dishonor. Less was accomplished than J, could have wished, but I am not conscious of an act which does not meet the approval of my own sense of du ty. . To yourself personally, and to those friends who arc sending me their sympathy, I beg to say, in a word, that there is no cause for regret. I return to a profession which I was conscious of abandoning too soon, and to a position at the bar as honorable as that which is now relinquished, and so much more remunerative, that comparison is out of the question. Certainly, I ought to regard it no hardship to exchange for the comforts of homo that wandering life which the law of Penn- I sylvanla compejs her judges to lead. If I have any regret, it is in parting with those pure and upright men who will remain to dis charge their arduous and unrequited work. Wishing you a prosperous administration of public affairs, I am, very respectfully and tru ly, yours, William A. Porter.

The Middletown Journal of Oct. 2lst, says: "Andrew T. Green, hotel keeper at Highspire,' was arrested and taken to Philadelphia last week, on the charge of making counterfeit TJ. S. coin, lie has also been indicted before our own County Court for passing counterfeit $1 and one quarter dol lar pieces. He had a hearing in Philadelphia on Saturday liefore the United States Com missioners. The principal evidence against him was that counterfeit money was found ia the cesspool attached to the bouse. His plea was that this was accessible to all persons, as boarders or otherw ise, and that the house, in the spring of the year, was filled with raftsmen,' going up and down the river with lumber, who might have put tho money in the place men tioned. The accused wss held in $3,000 for a further hearing. On a second hearing, he was bound over by the United States Commis sioners, at Philadelphia, in the sum of $3,500 to answer the charge of counterfeiting. .... A man by the name of Geo. Nitts, was drown ed about three miles above Liverpool, in the Susquehanna river. Ilia body was found in water scarcely two feet deep, and it is sup posed that he had taken a fit and fallen out of his boat. Hcstingdox Coistt. Wo copv the follow ing from the i-'pruce Creek correspondence of the Huntingdon American : "A very interest ing runaway rn tch had its scene of exposure laid in Spruce Creek a week or two ago. It seems that some man from Pittsburgh arrived, on last W cdnesuay a week, at the Keystone Hotel, kept by Col. Hazlet, with another man's wife, where thev spent threo nights and two days. On the evening of Saturday, of the same week, the true husband arrived on the westward train. He had passed Spruce Creek in the search, but after he had done so, gleaned some intelligence of the guilty pair from the Conductors, and returned according ly.,, The woman, who was on the lookout, ptr ceiving him, conveyed the news to her quon dam husband who, taking leg-bail, was soon out of sight. He went to Tyrone, from whence he telegraphed to her to come to him. By the time the dispatch arrived, however, tho true husband and false wife had amicably settled their affair, and started for Pittsburgh in the evening. The parties are said to have very respectable connections and are wealthy. Elk CotjfTT. We learn, says the Ridgway Reporter, that a girl about 13 years of age, an adopted daughter of Elder J. D. Boyer, of Second t oik, was the victim of some brute, who it is believed administered chloroform to her and then violated her person. Mr. Buyer's house recently burnt down, and his family were staying at a friends about a mile from the site of their late residence, where the child was sent to milk. On tho occasion re ferred to the girl did not return as usual, and as Mr. Boyer was not at home, his w ife gave the alarm to the neighbors, who generally turned out and searched, without success, lor the missing one. Next day some persons were attracted to the barn, where she had been to milk, by the barking of Mr. Boyer's dog, when the birn was searched for the third time and the unfortunate child found, helpless and insensible, with evident marks of a brutal out rage having been committed upon her. Wc hope the guilty wretch will be arrested and convicted. The good people of Gibson will not rest until the brute is brought to condign punishment. Indiana CorsTT. On Sunday afternoon, John Nagel, accompanied by his wife, were out taking a drive in a sort of gig, and while turning the corner of Church and Mahoning streets, the bottom of the " vehicle gave way, and Mrs. Nagel was precipitated to the ground, but fortunately escaped without injury. A man named William Henry was lodged in jail on Wednesday, charged w ith having stolen from Alex. Adams, of Marion, a watcli and a suit of clothes: The watch and a part of the clothing were found. .... Some hungry fel lows broke into Kaeuflitie's meat cellar, under the Washington House, on Tuesday night, and carried off a lot of beef. ... . On the night after the election, two prisoners in the county jail mannged to cut their irons by means of an old case knifo, which had been nicked on the edge, so as to form a sort or saw. Their cell being all sound, however they could not escape, and arc still securely kept. Jefferson CorxTY. On Wednesday night last, while W. W. Corbet, Esq. was at McCrea's furnace on Mahoning, one of his horses was taken from the stable and rode some distance. In the morning the horse was missed, and Mr. C. taking the track, followed it some ten or twelve miles, when he met the horse coming back. A saddle, bridle and halter had also been taken from tho stable, and it is supposed that the horse hud been stolen and fastened in the woods, and in fretting to get back to its mate, had slipped the halter and escaped. No trace has been found of tho saddle or bridle. Erie CotxTr. The dwelling house of Mr. William M'Creary, of Milh reck township, was destroyed by fire on Saturday a-week. with nearly all its contents. Mr. and Mrs. M'Crea ry narrowly escaped with their lives. A few articles of furniture, a small portion of the elothing of the family, and the private papers of Mr. McOreary, const it utd all that was saved. The flames communicated to another house adjacent, which was also burned to the ground. No insurance in either case. There seem reason to believe that tho fire was the wanton act of an incendiary. Blair Cocstt. Some burglar or bnrglars effected an entrance into the grocerv store of George T. Cyphers, in Hollidaysburg on Saturday night last, by wrenching off some iron bars placed over a back cellar window. It appears they must have went direct to the money drawer, into which they fitted a skel eton key, which started a patent alarm at tached to it, and caused the rascals to beat a hasty retreat without eettinp any boot v.

AN EXTRA-JUDICIAL OPINION. ' -c-.From the Philadelphia Press. There is nothing more graceful than a grace ful submission to defeat. Tho true philoso pher is he who meets disaster with a smiling front, and goes into retirement without a sigh. This lesson seems to have been lost upon the highly distinguished gentleman who was a candidate for Supremo Judge, in this State, at the late election, and was badly beaten by Hon. John M. Read. We allude to the Hon. William A. Porter., whoso lettor to Governor Packer, resigning his position upon the Su preme Bench, to which he had been appoint ed by the Governor, we reprint in another column. Wc aie free to say that, in point of style and temper, it does Judge Porter no credit. In the first place, it reflects upon Governor Packer. Would it not h ive ben at least decorous for Jndge Porter to' have held over, under the commission conferred by the Governor in such manifest good faith, for the very brief period remaining before Mr. Read assumes the ermine 1 Why this hot haste to get rid of the judicial robes t Sure ly his clients would have waited a little while longer in order to let his term close as provi ded by law. . Judge Fortcr is not less unfortunate when he says thtt whenever a judge can "be elected by reason of his sentiments on any question of politics, that moment the real power of the judicial office will disappear. Then, the Convention that nominated him did wrong in taking him up because he was a Democrat, and in so far he rebukes ihein. But then Judge Porter had "sentiments" on a cet tain "ques tion." He took care, in some places, to de clare his auti-Lecomptonism. while in others he allowed himself to be quoted as of a re verse opinion, and was even content to stand on "any platform" in order to get votes. Now, more remarkable than all, he allows himself to say what is neither more nor less than a rebuke to those who, if ti:ey sinned at all, sinned only in standing where he professed himself to stand. What else does he mean when he speaks of those who "remain in the Democratic party to do the work of disorgan ization 1" He may allude, indeed, to his uncle, James Madison Porter, who ran as a volunteer candidate for jndge some years ago, in the Monroe judicial district, or to his own father,' Ex-Governor Porter, who is known to oppose the regular nominations in the county where he resides, whenever they do not please him. lie did not suppose that the taunt at the glorious Democracy, which refuses to en dorse Lecompton, as so many disorganizes, would react upon those so near to him. That Democracy may now see bow right lhey were in distrusting Judge Porter, and we only re gret that he did not allow bis real sentiments to appear before instead of after the election. Had he done this, the majority against him would have been five times larger than it is. Judge Porter is one of the last men to use harsh language to any portion of tho Demo cratic part3-. He is the last man to set him self up as a model Democrat. He has never rendered any service to that party ; has in most cases refused to subscribe to its expen ses ; was more than indifferent to it in 1806; and even now, while declaring that he obtain ed the appointment of the Judgeship without solicitation, and that he expected to reach it by election, without doing anything to pro mote his success, he forgets that he was in consultation with some of the most reckless local partisans before he procured his nomina tion at Harrisbtirg, and that these partisans acted under his lead. Judge Porter makes an allusion to bis yc nth, in his singular letter. It will take him many years to recover from the impression it will make on the public mind. He has had a full share of patronage, and he must not think that he has any claim, cither of family, or of intellect, or of orthodoxy in matters of faith, to entitle him to the right of holding oillce, or of denouncing those who do not think him deserving of it. The days of the Bourbons of politics are over in this State ; and we re gret that so young a man as Judge Porter does not know it. The Indians after a U. S. Senator.
