In the State of Pennsylvania, for instnncc, ere is a very largo extent of territory with, in my places, had roads. In this State alone swell thousand dollars will be expended, and if there no failure of agents, a decisive indication ol le result there will, at an early hour tho next , orning, be obtained.

"Mass meetings are held in all parts ol the State," rays our correspondent, "and all the mist available stump orators are imI orted in, with appointments made lor them week* ahead." If Pennsylvania is true to its history, it* vote ought not to be undecided in sueli a contest ai the present one, and Williutn Petin, the (Junker, ought to tie allowed to speak out of the grave in favor of the nou-extentioiiist candidate. Some letters have appeared in our columns lately to the edict that we have been mistaken in supposing that the northern States are so serious on the slavery question, and that these Slat<-s w ill never do anything which will Involve the si ghest risk ol a dissolution of the Un'on, mul that those whu spread tins.- reports about them are abolitionist fanatics. The general purport of these letters is, that "the North" loves the Union first and freedom next, and that, while it will welcome any relief ol slavery that comes without the slightest political danger, it will never make political sacrifices tor it. Such a view of the |?oliey of "the North" makes very little difference between the Northern, or the Republican, and the democratic parly. The il< ni ncratic pniy docj not like slavery in itself, hut it allies itself with t for the sake of the American Union and American greatness. The Union is, according to this account, the first eons delation with nil the great American parties; find, so long as llic Union is bolstered up. we lire told that "the North" is, niter nil, comparatively cool nnd indifferent on the question of slavery.

Wheneeer this lady receives company, all sorts ol ingenious dIhiis are formed and every de> scriplion of little artilices employed to inI iluce their guests, without ac.ually asking >(j them, to have a peep at llii* den, generally o|- kept as much as possible in the back ground ( I for obvious reasons. (Nothing is so dia gutting to a true epicure as the smell ol j cookery.) In most bouses, therefore, the l_, kitchen is as far distant from '.he drawing^ ! rro-.i as possible. lu this instance, on the contrary, the local topography is so arranged, that many persons wishing to go out, mistake the door, and just as they are about hastily ' backing out. are accosted by the most dai zling of cooks, who cries, with a smiling >n 1 . i ^ i air, ' It's the kitchen.

The conflict, which took I ' place about a mile and a half from the shore, and which was witnessed from the land b; | a number of fishermen and others, is de- ' scribed as having been protracted and bloody. The two motis'ers ko, t battling with each other, at times with their heads and at times with their tails, raising a trc mendous spray for a distance of many yards.

Because a beautiful young Empress found it convenient to revive the fashion of full petticoats, what must old dowagers and young maidens do but copy the dress without the excuse! A contemporary tells a good joke about a verdant limb of the law, who resided upon Nanticoke Creek, an ind the absence of the pastor acted as clerk. He had a strange way of manufacturing words when at a loss for the right one. Well, upon a certain occasion, when ho deemed his services in request, he undertook to give out a hymn, in which the word Moxology' occurred; as he could not get hold of the word, he requested the congregation to sing 'four verses and a tockdnlojer." A Rotal Matiress.?The ex King Louis of Bavaria, who recently attained his seventieth year, was, a few days ago, waited on at his chateau at Ludwigshahe, in the Palatinate, by a deputation frcra Strasburg, in which place he was born, who paid their respects to him on the occasion.. The King received them most kindly, promised to vi.-il their city, and related to them a curious circumstance. At the time of his birth, in August, 1TSC. his father, who was then only Prince des Deux Pont*, commanded the Alsace regiment in the service of France, which was in the garrison at Strasburg; and, a few days after the birth, he was astonished to see that all his grenadiers had cut off tbeir beards and moustaches. On inquiring why they had done so, one of the men stepped forward and said that they had determined to beg his acceptance of a velvet mattress for the new born prince, and that they had stufled it with their beards and moustache*! I have the mattress still," cried the King, 'and will show it to you!" The matlre*a was pr- duced, and the King added. "I do not think that there is in tho world a bed which can be called more strictly military than that!"'

Tho eight were killed on the same day, and there was a disTerence of one and a half pounds each in favor of the fowls which i had been supplied with the charcoal/ they being much the fatter and the meat greatly superior in point of tenderness and flavor. This would appear to establish, beyond a doubt, the benefit of charcoal for fattening purposes.
