The State has other facto, riea in course of erection, to be propelled by steam. There are several of large capacity now under way at Sparta, Madison and Greensboro’. Upon these gratifying evidences of the increasing pros, perity of Georgia, the Augusta Chronicle and Sen tint! remarks as follows: “Not. among the least of the sources of satis, faction is the effect whjch our example is produ cing upon the other States, in indneing them tov like efforts in the great movement of the-Sonth independent: -Even in South Carolina, where, bnt a year or two since, such was the blind infatuation of some of her feacherr, that every nail driven in -the erection of a factory was regarded as but another in the coffin of their political idol, free Tirade, a new and a brighter day will ere long break forth, and even she, with all her ab. snrdities, will learn that the building of factories, the fostering of industrial pursuits and artisans, the improvement of her soil, and the education of her poor, will accomplish more for the indepen. derice, prosperity and happiness of her people, thnn all the vapid, blustering resolutions which her Conventions and Southern Congress may adopt for the next, half century. She is now teaming the fact, of which her political leaders seem to have been ignorant, that the surest means to at tain prosperity and power in a State is to avoid a policy which drives away her citizens; and ere long she "will have learned that important lesson.

Harrisburg, February 5, 1851 Mr. El)itou— Bear Sir: The House of Rep* resentatives was in session yesterday afternoon, and the discussion of the Tariff Resolutions oc cupied their attention. Able speeches were made by Messrs. Rhey, Bonham, Roberts, Penniman, Olwine and others. Mr. Bonham held the floor, in a second speech, at the hour of adjournment, and will occupy the iHouse in his closing remarks to-day-. He is an able man, an eloquent speaker, and well booked up on the subject of Tariffs, Revenues, and the doctrine of Piotection. He' maintains that the revenue principle of laying duties is the only correct one,, and that a revenue or ad valorem Tariff is one that is laid on the val ue of the article, and not on the whole cost of transportation, &c., —that-such a Tariff will not, and ought not, to diminish the importation of the article on which it is laid. He also maintains that if Pennsylvania can call on Congress for protection to her Iron and Coal, the Colton, "Woollen, and all other mannfac. turing-interests, can, with eqnal propriety, do the same thing ; and that the question of Protection would be again opened; and that the doctrine of protection for protection’s sake, had long since been abandoned by the Whigs themselves that they had found, with others, that it was all a sys. tern of robbery—robbery of the great Agricultnrai interests of the country, the foundation and sup. port of all other interests. That the cry offtake care of the Woollen, Iron and Cotton lords, and they will take care of the farmers,” was charac. teristic, and meant nothing more than the embo. diment of all Whig principles and policy, viz: “ Take care of the rich and the rich will take care of the poor.” Air. Bonham claimed that the Democratic par ty had been firmly attached and devoted to the revenue policy, and as firmly opposed to the pro tective policy of the Whigs, till they themselves had abandoned it, and determined to change their tactics; that he was sorry to hear any democrat, at this day, advocate any thing like a Protective Tariff—that the Democratic party had once passed resolutions in favor of a National Bank, and thought it all right; bnt that they would now be very unwilling to acknowledge themselves in favor of that measure; and he felt sore that the time was not far off when they would be quite as unwilling to acknowledge that they were ever in favor of a Protective Tariff. The above arguments were adduced by Mr. Bonham in answer to Messrs. Rhey, Penniman, Dobbins and others, who had spoken in favor of the medium policy, or a mildly protective Tariff. Mr. Penniman said that he was in favor of a "ju dicious,Tariff”—that “old Jackson” had favored snch a tariff, and he did not think that any im provement had been made upon the wisdom of those days—that there were practical and business difficulties in the way of an ad valorem Tariff, and such difficulties as business men could feel, and such as wise Statesmen should take notice of. Mr. Rhey made an able defence of the same position, and others spoke to the same point with more than usual ardor and eloquence. Mr, Bonham reviewed the bill of Mr. Strong in Congress, and made an apparent disrelish for its provisions speak out of the faces of most Demo, cfats in the House. He also regarded the signal -defeat of that bill, as-att, amendment to the Defi. ciency bill, would settle the question of the Tariff in Congress for the future. Mr. Griffin, the able chairman of the Commitee on Education in the House, lately presented a me morial from Dr. John Patrick, of Fayette county, in relation to the establishment of a separate de partment of the State Government, devoted to the superintendence and supervision of the Common School System, and the general welfare of the af. fairs of Education in the Commonwealth. This memorial is a very able defence of the Public School System, and a faithful development of the evils and defects attending the same. Some ne cessity exists for this measure, as the present pro visions for the discharge of the very important duties required for the prosperity of the great in terests ol Public Education are inadequate. A subject of so much importance to Pennsylvania should receive favor at the hands of the Legisla* ture; and no doubt is entertained that this propo sed department will become a law some time du ring the session, inasmuch as the plan proposed does not materially increase the expenses of the Government, and promises, to the satisfaction of every one, a decided and valuable improvement of the School System, and the consequent advan tages to the people of the State. Oss o'Ciock, P. Al. The Tariff resolutions have been postponed in definitely, in the House, after some immaterial discussion upon the subject. On a motion to print alt the reports made by the committee, com prising the extreme Whig and Democratic doc trines, and also the medium policy submitted by Mr. Penniman, every Whig in the House voted ad versely, and it was lost. This vote of the Whigs is the best praise that could be spoken in favor of the ability of the Democratic reports, and of the policy which they set forth; and this course ol the Whigs is also in keeping with all their tactics, and well calculated to advance their interests by keeping the people in the d'rirk, and preventing them from looking upon the argument of both sides of this great question, relating directly to their great and vital interests, at the same time. They know very well that their peculiar views would suffer merely in the comparison which would then be made by the people; and certainly they are perfectly consistent in keeping the light of truth,'which would make their hideous ties the more plainly Been, frorrL.^eynVoiTc eye.— glim. tytneir"only means of preserv ation and safety, and self-preservntion is every where the first law of nature. In Senate, to-day, the subject of the Tariff res plutioiis has occupied considerable time.

Tbe Democracy of Indiana* The Democratic members of the Constitutional Convention of Indiana on the 18th inst. held a meets ing atlndianapolis, uod unanimously recommended General Joseph Labe to the National convention as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency in 1852.

A few days-ismee wq.prceented to the readers of the.Posf a despatch by telegraph, giving a pretty fpll account of the staking of the Steamer John Adams. In the Louisville' and Cincinnati papers, received by the last mails, we find additional par ticulars of that terrible disaster, from which it api pears that the loss of life was even greater than at ft* B * fcpofled. For the following interesting par ticulars of this heart.rending disaster, the Louis ville Courier is indebted to B. A. Oglesby, Esq., clerk of the Peytona : Steamboat Peytona, Feb. Ist, 1851. On Monday iiiorning,.27ih January, at 3 o’clock, the steamer “John Adams,” Capt. H. B. Jones, with a heavy freight and a large number of passongera bound for Cincinnati, when near the head of Island 82, struck a snag or stump, and sunk in two minutes. The cabin parted from tho hull, which went down in about 60 feet water. She had about 90 to 100 deck passengers, but one or two of which were saved. The cabin in breaking from the hull, separated in the middle,, which,doubtless, was the cause of many of the cabin passengers saving their lives. Them are supposed to have been about forty cabin passen gers lost. The ladies in the cabin were all saved, and after suffering many hours in the water, were enabled to get-ashoro at the plantation of Mr. Carter. The forward portion of the cabin, including the texas, floated down to Ihe head of Island 83, where it grounded. About 3 o’clock P. .M, the Peytona came along, and took the passengers on board from that portion of tho wreck. From hence we pros ceeded with all possible haste to the other portions of ihe wreck, where we took all on board, with the exception of Capt. Jones and bis family, Mr. Wilson* the a few others. Owing to the time of her sinking, every one be ing asleep, and the boat sinking so suddenly, few were able to get sufficient clothing to cover thenu selves. Many of them are indeed in a most desti? .tote condition. We brought 92 of them up with us. The officers were all saved. Yours, respectfully, The Courier gives other particulars, but they are substantially the same as oar last telegraphic de spatch. The Cincinnati Commercial has an engraving rep resenting the sinking of tho John Adams. That paper gives the following narrative of the calamity, as obtained from Mr. Leonard, the Pilot, who was on watch at the time : During tho eveniog and op to 10 o’clock, the weather was misty, with indications of a fog; but it cleared up, and every thing wna fine and fair for a run, —so ranch so, that the Captain, Henry A. Jones, left tho deck with the certainty that all was safe, and that there was nothing to indicate even a possibility of danger. But at about 3 o’clock in the morning, at a distance of some 150 miles above Vicksburgh, she struck n “sawyer,” or snag, and immediately commenced filling. The boat was heavily loaded, and was drawing about ten feet of water at tho time. She bccarao unmanageable, and notwithstanding the efforts of the pilot to- run her on a bar, under a full head of steam, she sunk in lets than ten seconds , in over sixty feet of water 1— She went down with a plunge, bow foremost, and at such an angle that when the pilot ran from his place, he took a position oh the curve of the wheel houco next the deck, which was in almost a horizon- ; tal line !! After the bow struck the bottom, the up per works of the boat were dotached, the cabin broke into, end the chimneys paßsed ? down through the casing and disappeared ! The two sections of tho cabin floated round and formed a V, but finally drifted together, and those who were upon them, and those only, were saved. The cabin drifted some eight miles before it was landed. When tho boat struck, the alarm was immediately given, and numbers of persons, men, women and children, made their way to thcdeck, and thus were saved; but as the warning was short, numbers doubtless perished in their beds or struggled for life to meet death at last betwcco the decks. The en gine was heard to work and tho paddles to beat af ter the boat had gone down, and they continued until the water, by passing through the scape pipes, stopped them 1 The number lost is estimated at one hundred and twenty. Of the cabin passengers (about 130,) over twenty arc known to have perished, and of the deck passengers (eighty) but two are known to have been saved. Twenty-one of the crew, deck hands and firemen, were drowned. register and money of the bo.it were, saved, and upon the return of Mr. Wilson, tho Clerk, we will be enabled lb give the'namcs of those who were lost, or, at least, a number of them. This is one of ihe accidents for which no blame can fall upon the officers, as, occurring where it did, and in weather so favorable to running, it is a aiattcr of great surprise to the oldest and most ex perienced river men. The existence of a snag them bad never been known or thought oft and it was one of the last places where danger was to he apprehended. Capt. Jones is one of our best and most successful and fortunate river men, and Mr. LeoNAfto stands second to none as a pilot, and to them tho accident is unaccountable. Among tbe passengers were some persons on their return from California, of whom Mr. Manning, of Ihin city, was one. They lost all thoy had, and had a fair chance of losing more. A number of thrive saved hailed in the Paylona as sho passed, and were taken by that boat to ’Louisville. The Capt. of the boat charged every one fbll passage, and some who had lost at! were compelled to borrow of their fellow-sufferers to meet the demands of the boat. This wo have from several of tho survivors. Mr. Andrew J.

Inth£ Senate, on Saturday, the following rcsoiu* tion was offered by Mr. Hunter, nnd adopted ; That tho Commitoe on Finance be ins structed to inquire Into the expediency of coining, dollars,half dollars, and quarter dollars, to be com* posed of gold and stiver in tho proportion of equal values, according to the relative standard between tho twcymcjals as now fixed by law. This-proposition strike? us (says tho Baltimore Pa triat) a£ one which might be found practically very useful. Oho thing isxemin, that Congress might do something, and that speedily, towards snpplying the country with small change, tho want of which is beginning to be felt everywhere as a groat public inconvenience. The proposition for making a mixed coinago of gold and silver, if adopted, in connect tion ;by Mr. Chandler, for sup* plying the smaller coins by. a mixture of silver and copper, and making silver a legal tender only for sums not above five dollars, will soon relieve the evil which is now suffered from the want of small changc,pnd will prevent its recurrence hereafter.

A. OGLESBY. ' ~ * v From the Honolulu Friend. lllble Two Hundred and Piny Tear* Old. , P r - Kins recently presented us-with an inter esting relic of olden times, in tbe form of an En glish Bihie, printed in 1599, several years previous to the celebrated translation under the authority of King James, and twenty yera'previous to - the landing of the Pilgrims. The following is a verbatim tl lileratim reprint of the New Testament title page, that of the Old Testament having been lost: THIS NIS W T E S T A - With brief Snramarics and ejpofiiioos vpon tho hard places-hy tho raid Aulhour lose: Corner and P. Loftier Valerius , Englished by L. TOM SON. Together with the Annotations of Fr.- lunius vpon the Renelation of S. lOHN. 1 IMPRINTED AT LONDON by tho Deputies of Chriftophor Barber, Printer, to the Queene. most Excellent MaieiTlie. This woulJ appear to be a translation from the Latin translation made by Beza, who died 1805, aged eighty-six; hence the copy before us was printed seven years before his death. In eompar ing it with our English version, we are surprised to observe the great similarity. The /allowing is a reprint of the xv. Psalm: * Ji Pfalme of Dauid. T Ord, who shill dwell in thy Tabernacle f who *-• shall reft in tby holy Mountainef 2 He lhat walketh vprightly and worketii righ teoufneflc, and Ipeskelh the troelh in hit heart. 3 Ho that fiindereth not with his tongue, nor doetli euill to his neighbour, nor rcceiuctli a falfo report againfst hisneighbour. 4 lo whofc eves a vile perfon is contemecd, but he honourelh them that fcaro the Lord : hee that rwearolh to Ins ocun hiuderancc and changeth not. 5 Ho that giucth not his money vnto vfury, nor takcih reward against tho innocent: he that doelh thofe things, shall nouor be mooned. Wab upon the Clebks.—Mrs. Oaksmith, the poet, ess, and a very able writer, thus concludes an ar» tide written in advocacy of “woman’s rights:’) “ There is an inherent dignity in the woman who steadily pursues a vocation of emolument or repu tation; weak men may call you masculine and un fcmininc, hut tho great voice of God within the soul extorts from them an instinctive homage; and when the sex shall have asserted their full rights to any and all positions for which their lacnllies arc best adapted, refusing to barter their woman for wealth or position, choosing labor as a good, by which they earn tho right to independence, individuality and respect, ono great step will have been taken in the great movement of reform. Men will then retire from behind counters, and leave a vast field of light occupation for the gentler sex; they willpartakethrm * selves to the plow and machine shop, and leave the world of taste to women,” Wielibsiana.—Willis of tho Home Journal says that thirty grains of beauty which constitate the per feet woman are three things white: the Bkin, the teeth and the.hands. Three block: tho eyes, the eye-brows and the eye. lashes. • • Three red : tho lips, the cheeks and the nails. Three long: the body, the hair and the hands. Three short: the teeth, the cars and-the feel. Three wide or largo .- the cheek the forehead and the space between the eyebrows. Three small or narrow: tho mouth, the waist and the ancle. Throe plump: the arm, the log and the calf of tho leg. Three delicate or fine: The fingers, the hair and the lips. , -Three small: the head, the chin and the nose.
