through the American breast his counsels
were mill listened to with reverence ; and, al
most alone among statesmen, he in hi retire
ment win in harmony with every onward move
ment of hi time. His prevailing influence as
sisted to sway a neighboring nation to desire to
share our institutions; his car heard the foot
steps oftho coming million that are to gladden
our western shores ; and his rye discerned in
the dim dicta nee the whitening fails that are to
enliven the waters of the Pacific with the social
pound of our successful commerce.
Age had whitened his locks, and dimmed his
rye, and ppread around him the infirmities and
veneiable emblems of many years of toilsome
service ; hut his heart beat as warmly as in his
youth, and his courage was as firm as it had e
ler been in (lie day of bottle. But while his ftf
fectiona were still for his friends and his coun
try, his thoughts were already in a better world.
That exulted mind, which in active life hnd al
ways had unity of perception and will, which in
action had never faltered from doubt, and which
in council had always reverted to first principles
nod genera! laws, now gave itself up to commu
ning with the Infinite: lie was a believer:
from feeling, from experience, from conviction.
Not a shadow of scepticism ever dimmed the
lustre of his mind. Proud philosopher ! will you
smile to know that Andrew Jackson perused re
vereutially hi IVnller and Prayer-book and Bi

Uod.
The last moment of his lite on earth is at
bund. It is the Sabbath of the Lord ; the bright
news and beauty of summer clothe the fields -round
him ; nature is in her glory ; butthesub
I lineal spectacle on that day, on earth, was the
victory of his unbleiichiiig spirit over dtath
itself.
When he first felt tho hand of death upon
him, "May my enemies," be cried, "find peace ;
may tho liberties of my country endure for
ever." When hia exhausted system, under the e
eess ol pain, sunk, for a moment, from debility,
'Do not weep," shid he to bis adopted daughter;
"my sufferings are less than those of Christ up
on the cross; for he, too, as a disciple of the
cross, could have devoted himself, in sorrrw, for
mankind. Feeling his end near, be would see
all his family once more ; and he spoke to them,

they came, he prayed lor tliem.and kissed them,
and blessed them. His servants were then ad

Home on the outside of the house, clinging to
the windows, that they might gaze and hear.
And that dying man, thus surrounded, in a gush
ol fervid eloquence, spoke with inspiration of
liud, of the Redeemer, of salvation through the
atonement, of immortality, of heaven. For he
ever thought that pure and undrfiled religion
uus the foundation of private happiness, and the
bulwark of republican institutions. Having spo'
ken of immortality in perfect consciousness of
bis o.vii approaching end, he bade them all fu re-
well "Dear children," such were his fiuul
word, "dear children, servants, and friends, I
trust to meet you all in heaven, both white and
bluck all, both hite and black." And having
borne bis testimony to immortality, he bowed
bis mighty bead, and, without a groan, the spi

In life, his career had been like the blaze of

hid death was lovely as tho mildest sunset of a
summer's evening, when the sun goes down in

seen that both Houses of the Texan Congress
have unanimously adopted resolutions agreeing to
the Annexation of Texas to the United States, on
the terms proposed by our government. The
convention, to form a constitution for the "State
of Texas," assembled on the 4th inst. This con
vention will also ratify and confirm the decision
of Congress. President .Tonrs has pledged him
self, in his message, to carry out the expressed
will of the people. Tut should the President
even feel disposed to vetothe bill, Congress could
pas the measure by two thirds, having already
passed it unanimously. But President Jones
will not be mad enough to oppose a measure
which he knows he cannot prevent. Mexico
will probiibly bristle up and threuten war; but,
as she will not be supported by any other power,
it will amount to nothing. England miuht be
disiosed to assist ; but, she is too fen i fill of her
own discordant elements at home, to venture in
to a war w-ith any formidable power. Besides,
the present pacific ministry of France must soon
yield to the popular will, which is a hereditary
hatred of everything English, and the French
will not be slow to carry out their ancient grudge,
the first opportunity that may offer.

Statistics in rrlntion to a font innons Rail Rood
from Sunbury to Philadelphia.
In our last paper we stated that we would
shew the deep interest the Reading Rait Road
Company had in the completion of the Shamo-
kin, Mahonoy, and Schuylkill Road. The esti
mated tonnage, of the descending liade, we fixed
at 110,000 tons, which, at St 50 ;er ton, about
tho average ol the present low rates on the Read
ing Road, would amount to 10,000. The ton
nage, from Philadelphia back, say 00,000, at S3
50 per ton, would make S2t0,000 ; or the, whole
amount of tonnage, making an increase in the re
ceipts of the Reading Road of ? I'.'O.OOU, the nett
receipts of which may be faiily estimated at
$210,000, which would pay six per cent on a ca
pital of four millions of dollars, and enhance the
present value of the Reading Road to er cent on
its outlay of ten millions. In this estimate we
have not included the receipts from travelling,
which would embrace nearly the whole of North
ern Pennsylvania. 1'ut, independent of all this.
if there was not a ton of this tiade in existence,
Jhe coal trade, qn the line of the contemplated
Road, would, alone, largely increase the income
of the Reading Road, besides paying six per cent
on twice the estimated cost of construction. The
operators of the Shamokin Coal region can now
bring their Coal to this place, I'J miles by horse
power, at 1 00 J perton.and would be willing to
guarantee to deliver coal at Pottsville at f'.' per
ton, where it is now woilh from $3 Ivi to '.'0,
and pay 50 per cent more freight and toll than is
now charged on the Reading Road. The vast
extent and abundance of Coal, and the very u
peiior facilities for mining, will enable them to
do this with profit to themselves. But a greater
part of the Coal region, that will be oened by
this Roaif) will not be more than from 15 to l'i
miles from Pottsville, and will be able to com
pete successfully with the mobt favored mines
of the Schuylkill region, and thus increase the
tonnage of the Reading Road to an almost unli- j
mited extent. The estimated cott of the conncc- j
tion, between Shaiimkiii and Pottsville, is i;00,- j
000. We have shown that the tonnage will not I
be less than UOO.OliU tons, exclusive of the An- j
thracite Coal trade, and taking the ne'.t receipts i
at half of the an, omit, fur the same tiade, over,
the Heading Road, we have a clear ii.coine of
$130,000, on an expeudituie of ?'ilin (,(Ki uy j
cover all possible, contingencies, let us lix the a I
mount at half that sum and we shall still he ahlu to 1
J divide ten per cent on the amount ol capital in
vested, and all without taking into consideration '
a single ton of the coal trade of the region. The
nett receipts of The Reading Kail Road, for lees
than tun )ears, Would complete this Road,
which might hi- properly termed the main aitery i
of its future prosperity.
We may herealter shew the importance of I his
link in the great chain of Rail Road between
Philadelphia and F.rie, and the New Voik Rail
Road. We have been informed that a company
is now exploring the route from Ralston to itlosk
burg, by which a continuous Rail Road will be
for mi d from Williarr.spoit to Coming, which
then would only require a link of -to miles from
this place to Willuiof poi t, to tap the New Yolk
