We learn from the Due West TrUscopr, that the Rev. Thos. Ketchens died very suddenly from an attack of cholera morbus, at j his residence in Fairfield district n few days ago. Mr. Ketchens had a number of friends in Lancaster, who will deeply regret his demise. The Yellow Fewer. This fearful disease has disappeared almost entirely in Portsmouth nnd Norfolk, but had broken out in Montgomery, Ala. There were but few cases, however, in the latter city, and at lust accounts it was decli nuig. Cold Weather. Our town has been vildted by some cool pells. We had n severe frost on Sunday night Inst There have been several eases of fever in our usually healthy tillage; we hope this frost will eradicate all seeds of summer diseases. A Bereaved Family. Our next door neighbors have been sorely afflicted. Chappell Mngill, eldest son of Thoa. R. and Alary Mngill, died on Monday last. Just on that day (Aug. 8,) one year ago, we closed the ey.is of our child Boll, a "bout the same age. We sympathise with our friends in their affliction, but one who is a father to the fatherless, and a comforter to - the distressed, has given the blessed assurance of eternal felicity to such, in his promise, "Suffer little children to come unto ms, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven."

A correspondent, residing in the upper portion of the district, writes us that a gang of runaway negroes are committing great depredations in that neighborhood To use hi? wordi>, 'they are stealing everv thing they can lav their hand* on.' They hare broken open the dwelling* of several of the citizens during their temporary absence, and stolen provisions, clothing dec. They boldly entered a lone woman's dwel. ling (a widow,) and permnly demanded provisions from her, which request, she was forced to comply with. Some dozen dwellings have been entered by the scoucdrels and robbed. A stop should at once be put to this high handed outrage. The Cheater end Lancaster MailOur friend of the Chester Standard is "wondrous wise." If we mistake not, we aaid the mail facilities between t'.e two places were re-established. We say so ysL Because the mail is not carried through by one person, but chainged at Lcwitville, does that alter the matter whatever! Our P.M. gave us the information and he shoftld know, besides, our friend of the Standard will find by looking into the matter, that the mail facilities are the tame a& before.

When the pilgrims first landed in America, or when the French refugees sought protection on Americna soil, for the purpose of enjoying their religion, there wss but ons political party in the United States. When our forefathers first conceived the project of freeing themselves from British tyranny, it was only for tho pnrposo of securing that liberty, which they could not enjoy ns Brit? ish subjects. If Great Britain had been content to exercise a moderate sway over the colonies she would have still included this country as oue of her dominions. The original characteristics of the Anglo-Saxon race, opposed oppression nnd insult, but as true and faithful subjects, in the world's history they have never been cqunlled. The first idea of a Declaration of independence was engendered Into tho minds of its signers by the tyranous nnd arbitrary conduct of the mother country. What an admonitory les? son docs our conduct at that period teach other nations! What an admonitory lesson does it teach u?! The rapid rise and progress of this country, ns compared with othora, at once tells ua 'id the plainest language, that a free Republican Government in itself possesses the elements of ulterior woalth and greatness. To give some idea what has been accomplished in a comparatively short period, the reader need only refer to the statistics of the country. Within leas than three-quarters of a century of nationnl life, under this constitution, which declares that all men are born free and equal, and which gives to one as supreme authority ns to another; the United Statea of America has ariaon to a prouder height of physical strength and of moral power, than has ever been occupied by any nation in the world. The alloted life of a man covers n period equal to the whole existence of our mighty empire. Men are this day alive who voted for the ndoption of the Constitution, and for Washington in 1789. At the end of the Revolutionary war, we numbered about three millions people, now ono State, New York, has that number.? Our whole population is about twenty-five millions. Then we hsd nine handred thousand square miles of territory; now we have three millions of square miles?half of North America?three times as much as France, Great Britain, Ireland,Austria,Prussia,Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, and Denmark; a domain ns large as the Roman Empire ever was. Using the lnngu ge of Daniel Webster, n territory by the side of which tho possessions of the proudest European dynasties are "but s patch on the earth's surface." It isns far across the United States'from New York to Sun Francisco, as from London to (spshaui.in Persia; from New York to New Orleans is as fur as from Paris to St. Petersburg, or from London to Constantinople.? The Mississippi is twice as long as the Danube; the Ohio is 600 tniles longer than the Rhine. We can go on and enumerate our great natural endowments. And again, we might tell what energy and art have accomplished. We might tell of our RaiUroads, Steamboats, Telegraphs, manufactories and our general improvements in all the arts sad sciences. We are this day emphatically the greatest nation on tho globe. Rome in the height of U?r splendor and greatness, could not compete with the United States to-day in any branch of physical or moral perfectibility. Wenrb s great nation; and what has made tl> aur.h?

Ever aince we entered hoirt and aoul in a mutual covenant to free our coont*y, reeog nixing no party lines, but united in eenti. ment and feeling, we have aueceded fur beyond human prediction.

The arts and scion- . ces were enco?raged, aod even to this day, * the beauty of Grecian architecture finds no ( equal. Iler laws were administered with ( firmness, and yet with leniency. Her peo- , plo were properly educated. Lycurgus ea- ? tablished it as n maxim, "That children were a the properly of the State, to which alone i their education was to be entrusted." Such I were Sparta and Aibeos, the most itnpor- ' tnnt Status of Greece. And what was the 1 cause of theii downfall! Internal commo- f tiona. Strile and party discords among themselves. The Romish Church, with all ber imperfections, teaches us one useful loeson, that "In unity there is strength." Whatever means she may use to accomplish her purposes; we know this, she is true to heruolf, there is one mind; a unity of purpose. The present eoudition of our country is to be deplored. Party discord, division{aod strife amongst ourselves, point to a dark iu- 5 ture. (f these things continue, the South, c win lorin a community of herself; but to do 1 ao, we mast fc actuated in our deliberations t by the same feeling. I*?t us act on the do- r fensive ns our forefathers did before us. If , tho North will not suffer us to enjoy equal ( privileges, then we must establish s government of our own. To do this, wo must be united. Divide the South, and we furn- ^ isli the means to frustrate our common ef? ' fort. We want to see the South actuated by one common feeling, a feeling of resis* I tancc to Northern agression; let this be a the ease, nnd we will, in the end, triumph, f We must be known and recognized as one t party; a State's Rights, a Southern Rights , party, and, in the end we will be victorious ( M I" | A Voice to Antrioa Tlie progress of tlie American Party in tho United States has brought forth a ' number of publications in defence of those ' principles, and also no tew showing up the defects and agrarian doctrines of the 1 Romish Church. Some ot tliesi publics- 1 tiooa, especially these of fiction, postoss C but little merit; there are however some, ' which should be known to bo appreciated. Mr. Edward Walker, 114 Fulton street New York, has sen; us a work boaring tho above title, which, is one of that class which deals in logical, argumentative ' reasoning, it handles the various subjects it treats of, in a dispassionate, yet 1 forcible mancer. No one can read it and not become wiser. Last Wihler, Mr. Ohandter delivered a ' speech in Congress, in which he assorted 1 that the Pope's authority was confined 1 wholy to spiritual matters. Iu the civil ' government of the country, he aaid, the 1 Pope aspired to no control. We rather ' doubted this at the time, but "A Voice to 1 America" clearly proves thnt the Pope is ' as much interested in temporal affairs of government, as he is in the spiritual salvation of the soul. Admitting this however, 1 we cannot with any confidence favor this 1 book front the fact of its cuationary admonitions. The See of Rome, exerted a far 1 greater power years ago, than at this time. The time was, when an English 1 sovereign, fearing its denunciations would 1 pay to it lite most humble obeisance.? The nower of th? Rnmi*K fHniwIi E? rope baa declined, and if ao, in a country where their form of government is so favourable to ita dogma*, why need we ' fear its power iu the United States, where 1 our form of government it ao diametrical- I ly opposed to it "A Voice to America" is a book however which should be read. I U should be in tho library of every one, who has any pretensions to literature. It 1 gives a vast deal of information on many 1 subjects which would prove of interest to ! I every American. The New York Miror 1 in speaking of the work, very justly says: The "voice to America" is a text book for tne citizen, the statesman and the politician. It glances at our country retro i spec'ively? And at the old Republics and | early civilisations, marking the principles by which they arose, were governed and fell; end wherein they offer to uaexamplea to be emulated, or errors to be avoided. I It traces also the history of liberty as manifested in Greece, in. Home, and in ( Italy during the Middle Agea,?and later in coon eel on with the Anglo Saxon nor, wnh sketches of the heroes and founders 1 liberty. It likewise traces the boundaries 1 of countries,and how thej were establish* I; 1 the effects of Romanism end Protestant- | ism ot? civilisation?-the enmity of Romanism to civilisation and freedom?the , prosecution* against oonaeienoe, and the struggles of toleration. In the discussion of these points, tbs world's h'story is dis- i sedted and narrowed to a bird's eye view. , 'A Voice to America' is a book of some 400 pages, printed on clear beautiful type i and on excellent paper.

Fur the Ledger. The Lancaster Rail Road. Mr. Editor: The act of the Legislature incorpor .ing the Lancaster Rail Road eompan was ratifies!, on the 10th day of Deoer tor, 1852, and by one of its prorision*.It is Enacted, "That neither, the Comroi tionera, (in the Act named,) nor the su icribera of stock, nor their President ai Directors, shall hate power, to keep op< books, and to receive subscriptions, for longer period, than three years, from tl ratification of this Act," and by anoth of its provisions, It is Enacted, "Tl works hereby required of the Lancast Rail Road Compay, shall be enacted wi Jiligence,aud if they be commenced, wit in three years, after the passage of tl Act, and finishod, within twenty yeai after the first general meeting of the stoc holders, then this Charter shall be forfe sd.M Now, whatever we do, if any thin at all be don", must be done quickl within the nest two months, or not at a and if nothing be done, within that tic the Charter will be forfeited. If the pe pie of Lancaster District are really earnest, about building a Rail Road, n< is U?e time, for action, prompt and en< getic action, or never, under the pr we Charter, then why delay, why not be a and a doing, next week, is Lancast Court, and the people of the District, g? erally, will be here, in attendance up Court, and it will be a favourable time pot the ball in motion, and give it ao< an impetus, as to keep it a rolling, un the work is finally accomplished. Eve man in the District ought to be interest in the Road, and would be benefitted I it; and every man in tbe District, who able to subscribe, even though, H be b one share should take stock in the Ro< and all the people should be stockboldr in it; and above, all others, owners of rt Estate, in particularly should bs laf] stockholders in the Road, because th would derive greater benefits, than ai other clues of our people. But in owl to give tbe boll a start, it is ahaoluU necessary, that U?o 8partan B?ad, twenty gentlemen tbouM be relieved their burden, from off their shoulders.

Come foward gentlemen, and set the example 00 by taking stock from the Spartan Band; and it will have a taigbly influence, in jn inducing others to do likewise. If the in Spnrtan Band should be relieved of their m in burden, under which they labour, or if ^ there is a probability,of their being retiev- ^ >r ed, then let the President and Directors, st of the Lancaster Rail Road Company, ac ia who shall continue in office, under the b! 1 Charter, and until their successors shall I lie ?n bo elected, and slinll enter upoo tlieir <u i- duties, advertise a meeting of the stock to of holders, to take place, say, at Lancaster f<-< it Court House, on the first Monday in No- TI h- vcmber next, and at which time and place JV > let the stockholders determine the route, M I I) the Road to connect with Chester, for Jt, 1 there is no probability of our getting a sa J Rail Road, to any other point, and if we I ksi n- determine the Road shall go to Cheater, I h- we have assurance that the people of w J Chester District will subscribe liberally Ce I to llie enterprizo.
