The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the expenditure of money for the purp >e ot influencing the passage of ihe tariff of 185*, by the Thirty-Fourth Congress, have made a re port in which are given some rich revelations. It appears from the Committee's report that a NEW England firm, MESSRS. LAWRENCE, STOKE Sc Co., who were engaged in the manufacture of woollen goods, expended some in "lobbying" and other appliances to procure the pas-age of the laritf of 'bin. the Committee have been unable to trace any of tbis money into the hands of members of Congress, though it can scarcely be doubted that some of it found lodgment in Congressional pockets. — $5,000 of the fund was paid to THURLOW WEED, who is the editor otthe Albany Evening Journal and one of tlie chief priests of Aboli in Congress. $1,500 of the find was given to MR. J. N. REYNOLDS, President pf the Ameri can Councils of the city of New Yoik: "lor the put pose (savs the ( < of g> t' •• n; re.- j lulions in favor of the measure ami procuring their passage through the Councils ot the A inerican party," fie., &x. $3,500 was also paid to the New York Journal of Commerce, "for collecting and publishing statistics." In teresting disclosures these, are they not, reader? Here we have the l-aders of the two political factions who are so loudly clamorous for a high tariff, accepting pay for their labors in effect ing a reduction ot the Democratic Tariff" of 1810 ! Here we have ••Sim" (immaculate ami unpurcl aseable "Sam'.") tor the consideration of SI,OOO, inscribing on bis banners the resolu t ion of his Councils fo: a low tariff! Here we have "Sambo" (patriotic and incorruptible "Sambo!") busily employed, for bis wages ol' $5,000, in reducing the duty on wool! Here we have all the Protectionists for a few paltry thousands, selling their creed and throwing timir principles to the devil! In the lower house of the last Congress, it will he remembered, the opposition bad a con sideruhle majority. The "Republicans" elect ed their nominee (BANKS) for Speaker, and had the control of the committees and the machin ery of legislation generally. But no! withstand ing all this, the bill to reduce th-tuiiif rates fixed by the Congress of 181b, pa-sed that "Re publican" House and became, through the ac tion of the "ili-publicans," the law ol the Li.d. This seems a little strange, no doubt, v. hen if is remembered what great sticklers the Repub licans are for a high tariff. The following, from the report of the Tariff Bribery Commit tee, may throw some light on the mystery: j "It is proper for us to S3v that at the time Mr. Weed was not the publisher of a newspa per, that he held no office and thai bis pers ui a! exeitions and personal and political influ ence alone were sought for, or obtained. Hut it is also true that, perhaps, no mm in the country exerted a larger, or more cor,frolling influence over the "Ri publican" pari a than Mr Weed." We, ther- fore, reason thus: Thurlow Weed had a powerful and controlling influence over > the "Republicans" in the last Congress ; Thur- ' low Weed was bought bp the low tariff men • ergo, Ihe "Republicans" in the lu>i Congress voted for the low tariff". From this we further conclude Ihat the "Republicans"—their noisy professions to the contrary notwithstanding— don't rate a fig for a high tariff, especially so long as they have access to the money chests of the low tariff men.

S .NEW RAILROAD BOITE. We learn Irom the flarrishurg papers that the Sherman's Valley and Broad Top Railroad Co. have allotted 23k miles of their road, com mencing at the mouth ol Fishing Creek, and ; running West to the Borough of Landisburg in Perry county. The route ol this railroad .em braces that ol the proposed Bedford Railroad and intersects at its Western- terminus, the Pittsburg and Conneiisviile Railroad. The completion ol this road will connect New York city with Cin cinnati and tlie great South West bv a direct and continuous line of Railroads and will open to the former city the trade of a Irge portion o! the I n ion which at present principally finds its way to Baltimore and Philadelphia. Hence, Nev. York is deeply inletested in its early con struction and w ill, without doubt, make a st: >ng effort to effect that object. It may, therefore, be reasonably predicted that this road will be made. How soon it wilt he made is another I question, and depends Iff its solution, to a consid erable extent, on the action of the people resi ding along the route. If the proper interest be taken in the work by those whom it will benefit, there is r.o reason üby if should not be coirq Si - ted at an early day. Put if indifference ami apathy be manifested towards the project, by the citizens of the country through which the j road is to pass, we may all be in oßr graves ore i it shall be finished. j The people of Bedford county are now called ; upon to do their share in this work—to make | the "Bedford Railroad." Seventy-five thous j and dollars are given them, by individuals out [ side of the county, start them in the enter prise. Will they reject this gift by refusing to make subset i[ lions, themselves ? Will they ex clude this money from the county by withhol ding their aid from the project ? Or will they, as men who know their ou n interests, fill ear nestly to work and each and every one ot them i cheerfully contribute his mite? We shall see. In regard to the through route from Cincin nati to New York, of which the "Bedford Railroad" would form a part, the iiarrisbuig llt raid says : The Sherman's Valley and Broadtop Railroad is the onlv remaining unconstructed link, which, ! alien completed, will firm the shorte.-t contin uous through line from New York to Cincinnati, St. I. ui, the South and Southwest, via. the New Jersey Central, Allen town anil Reading, L-banon Yallev, Sherman's V.11.-v ft. Broad fop, Pittsburg is. Conneiisviile, Baltimore & Ohio, North Western Virginia and Marietta & Cincinnati Railroads to Cincinnati—thence by the Ohio & Mississippi to St. Louis, and so ori west—-bringing Cincinnati hv this route 19S miles nearer New York city than by the New 1 York Central, id a Albany and Buffalo, or 150 | ir.ilt-s nearer New York than by the New York & Erie Railroad, via Cleveland & Columbus.— i The cities ol Philadelphia and Baltimore, with ' their present lines of communication, with the west, possess very great advantages over Nnv I X#.., c -t tfiW jR.R. to throw in favor of New York. Apart ; from this road forming a link in the shortest through line from New York to the west, it ■ will open up and develop a rich agricultural and mineral district, which has, thus for, been isolated from ait markets, which would of itself wry soon make a remunerative business fir the ro.i ). By this route the Broad Top coal is brought thiity-one miles nearer to Harrisburg, | and the east, than by the present read ( via j Huntingdon to Broad Top.) The gradients and alignments of the road wii! compare, we ate informed, favorably with those ol any road in the State. TIIE MAGAZINES.

(Correspondence ol" the Bedford Gazette.) Wasiji.v;ts, May 27, 1858. Now, that the Slavery agitation has been put at rest by the force oi" Democratic sentiment, in ! compelling the opposition to recognise the great I iloctiiiie of Popular Sovereignty as the rule of actloq, k might be interesting to enquire, what will be the next resort of the opponents of tiie Democratic party. Fiom present indications it would seem, that the old hobby of a lurijf'fur ; "protection of .intericon Monufuctura" is to be fH'SUSCitated. In view of the present de pressed condition of the monetary and cotr.mer i cial affairs in our own country and throughout the world, it will he tiie purpose oi demagogues to make it appear that to restore prosperity we must resort to a high tariff". Notwithstanding it has again and again been declared by these men, that "old issu-s have been settled"—."that the qu-stion of a U i;:ted Stales Dank, am! a big;. Prottelite Tarili' were "obsolete," I venture tlie prediction that "Tariff,' "Tariff," will be tlie cry. The causes whit!) have produced the present . universal depression of trade are very apparent. Extravagant and wild schemes of speculation on the | art of governments as well as individu als, lie at the foundation of the v\ hole thing. L't this G ivi-rnit;eiit a liiere to the d ictiine*- ol the Democratic p-utv, as promulgated by the immortal Jackson, and ad will do v\ .11. Let us have a sound ctjuency — Cold ami Stiver— •and a Tariff for revenue—racing in its de tails a jn>t system of discrimination in iavor of it/l the great interests of this country, and we need have no fears of these disastrous periodi cal vi.-itations in our buriness affairs as a people. The great principle lying at: the foundation lof the Tariff of IS+G is Democratic andjiist; ! that it is not pet feet in detail will be readily i admitted, and hence it was that in 1557, in ac j cordance with the recommendation of tlie Sec | retary of the Treasury, the Congress of the Uni ted States made-some alterations with the view of making the system more perfect. It is thought that time and experience will show : that the system as it. now stands will operate i beneficially and if should be the policy of (he Democracy to give it a fair trial be/ore anv iur -1 (her altera!ions are rrsoited to. The Mouse of Representatives have at last done justice to the people of Ohio in ousting Mr. Campbell, and admitting .Mr. Valiandig i.ain to his seat. This simple act of justice ; should have been consummated at the begin ning of the session,—"better late than never," ; however. After a struggle of some day s against the fac tious opposition of the Republicans and Know- Nothings. tlie members from the new Slate of .Minnesota, Messrs. Cavanaugh and Phelps, j were admitted to their seats. It ri a re mar Table fact, that the Opposition to the Democratic party in Congress, has ever opposed in one way or another, the admission of a new State into this Union. It seems to be a fixed principle with them to oppose everv thing i tending to advance the greatness and glory of ! our country. The late outrages of Lkig'idi armed vessels in j boarding and searching American ships haev ; caused considerable excitement both in and out jof Congress. It was this question—the right lof seaich which gave rise to the warof Ibriff. Jilc—£Li.v V r liis. -~4 la .I i I , Qus* y : thing of the kind then, and you mav rest assur |ed will not do so now. Should the English ; (• .'vernmejit riot make an instant apology, war will be the result, and that immediately. This government will n>t permit the merits of the i question of the right of any country to search , our ve is, to be brought up for di-cusdoh. I am satisfied the President v\ ill hear of notiiing but an open and prompt disavowal. In this, I feel confident the country will sustain him. Mr. Buchanan is pre-eminently a man of peace, but when the honor of his country is at stake, lie vv'llbe the last man to tamelj- submit xxith l out striking the blow for the right. The debate in the House the other day, on i the bill regulating elections in Washington city, i was filler interesting. Messrs. Davi-, of Ma rx . tnd, aiiu Marshall of Kentucky, made Know j Nothing speeches, in which they charged the 'present administration as being responsible for ) list* deplorable results of the June riot in this ci tv. Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky took hold of the gentlemen and showed that to Know-N'oih ingism alone, was to be attributed,, not >n!y the June riot, here, but every election ri .t which has disgraced our country; am!, that to the prompt and bold policy of Mr. Buchanan in suppressing in the bud, the outbreak of these rowdies in the Federal Capitol was the country . greatly indebted. ihe evil ei.ects of Know-Nothingism upon ! all grades of society in this country, have been feai tuiiy great. Not onfv has the nation suffn ;ed politically, to a degree which will require I ages to repair, .hut in a moral and religious sense is the evil painfully felt. It has been te i! arked by all good men, that never before in : the history of our people has the slate of reli jgion been SJ low as within the past few years. I' may lie asked what has Jvnow-Nothingisrn to do wiih causing all this? Everything. Jt was j the Ministry which gave Know-Nbthingism its j vitality. Had not a large number of Ministers jof the fi spel descended from their high estate tto the low carousal of the Knights'of the dark lantern, we would not now have the mountain o! silt which covers us as a people, to atone fur. Happily for humanity, however, we Lad a few faithful ministers who resisted evil aod were faithful to their mission. These pure men ! could not he seduced to engage in political [strife in any form. Numbered with this bind of patriotic christians, the Rev. Dr. Cummins, pastor ol the Protestant Episcopal church i:. , this city, stood pre-eminent. On all proper j occasions he has never failed to protest against i men dragging into the mire of politics the sa-j cred office of the Mini.-try. It was on Sunday i night last, tiiis Reverend gentleman, in a uis- i course upon the life and death of the Rev. Dud- j lv Tyng, took occasion, in recounting the ma- ; nv vii Cues of iiis deceased friend, to lefer to j his errors also, fire Reverend gentleman sta ted. that Dr. Tyng had fallen into a great ,-r- I ror a great sin upon the celebrated occasion i of his permitting himself to discuss fh? n.alter ! of politics in the | ulpit. "When a minister of the G "pel," said I)r Cummins, "drags politi- ! ca! discussion into iiis pulj it, J hesitate not to ' say that his inflti. rice lor good has at once Je- ; parted, and that he has struck a serious blow fo ! the cause/.this Master." In the caseuf |J r . j Txng, the Reverend gent h man thought that the' oii. i:ce was a single one, and that it had b-en ! at >ned for. 1 here can he no reasonable doubt about the i adjournment of' Congress on the 7th June.

LODGE- The Chatiibersburg I nllcySpirit occasionally : "gets off" a good thing and the following in re ; lation to the removal of the Spirit printing office to a room oine occupied by the Know Nothings, is none of it ? worst : The room we occupy is the same that "Sam," of dubious memory, held his levees in, when the corrupt and the curious flocked to his stand aul. In the pride of Ins strength he threatened its with ruin, and now we have planted toe flag of Democracy in the very citadel in which ! he nursed ft is consuming wrath to keep rt warm I till the time should come for our annihilation, j On taking posses ion of the room, we encounter ed a sitting smell of sulphur, and a careful x ! an matron revealed numerous marks of it om feet on the floor. Various evidences of a d> - (unci political race were found—among otii- ts, the picture ol an ungainly bird, believed to be ••xlinct, imng up in a black frame. The picture is painted til the highest style of tire pokeberry ; sclroul of ait, and does great credit to tire ab ' original for Native American) artist xvho ex cu : ted it. J oil \ La.nois, Sacred Historical Painter j whose fame is world-wide, might be proud to ! claim it as his work. The wide spread wings I of the huge bird are typical of "Sam's" spread ; eagle style of declamation. Mottoes, which nobody but a learned political antiquary can tell !t he meaning of now, fiii up the picture. The frame was probably painted black, as an em blem of death, by the last survivor oi the hist , ti the, ere he disappeared liom mortal sight. Ina crevice in the wall was found a pack con taining about fifty small pictures, also civdita ; ble specimens of the art u! painting and draxv- I ing evincing, indeed, a more recent origin in ! the painting and a higher degree of civilization in the people, than is inferable from the picture first described. Some of these pictures are stud ded with spots of various kinds, the purport of which we d > not understand—others seem to have been intended for portraits ol persons whom it would be no easy matter to describe from the picture. There a re ten. spot-. on some am! nine spots on others, and in fact the collec tion embraces almost any number, or shape or color of spots. There are diamonds and (mails, and \x fiat may be a thawing or representation ol ; the terrible war clubs of the ferocious aborigines who left these remains. Of the portraits xxv i thought we recognised two. One old felloxv ! with a wide coat and an old continental cap, xve supposed might be the ".Sire of the Sons," and a xourig rakish looking chap, with long red boots, we took for the "Son of the Sires."

JOHN C. FREMONT. Narrow Escape Froai Death. A writer in the Boston Transcript relates the following thrilling incident winch occurred at the Federal street fire. A back room in the fourth story of the house on ltie corner of Milton place was occupied by a worthy widow woman, Mis. Ann Hickey,aud tier <hi!d, a little gul uf seven years of age.— .Mis. 11. when warned from sleep by the alarm I occasioned by the lire, hastily picked up her lit tle gi. l and retreated from tile bouse, but being ; a poor woman returned to her room for the pur- , {rose ol saving some ul bei little effects. While she was engaged in tying up her things in par cels, the wail ul the burning store, j irmd and overtopped the house, fell over upon ' the roof, crushed it in, bearing with it u | mass of blazing materials. Her first impulse' was to run to the window, which she did, and j where she was hailed by the firemen below s who, to Ihe number of mx or eight, or as many as Could join, formed a circle, each man extend ing bi> arms hoi izontalfv, and giasping with his right "hand the light band, and with his left the left band of the man opposite, their arms crossing. I f hey then told her to kneel oj-vui the window siil and to incline her body in such away as to j free her head from fhe wall, and to fall side ways. All being ready, she threw herself from I tlie third-story window ! Not a man drew back from the imminent peril to which each one j was exposed. All stood firm, and this poor wo man was received in safety on that platform ol ; human hands and arms. Murder in si. Louis. The murder of Hugh Downie, the drover, in ' St. Louis, by three boys in a bather's shop, is! one of the most extraordinary instances of ciime \ on record. A few days since, the body of' Downie was found in a cellar, bearing evidence j of murder and robbery. A train of circumstan- j ces after a few day's investigation were devel oped, which fastened suspicion upon three boys,! Theodore Debold, Nicholas Trautwein, and An ton.- Dote, all of German parentage, and em- i ployed in a barber's shop near where the mur-1 dei ed man was found. Theodore has been laken j arid has confessed his crime. The others are ■ still at large. '1 heodore is about seventeen wars! of age, and has the appearance of being much ! younger. He says that Sunday night week, at nine o'clock, Downie was shaved in the shop. He then invited the boys out to take a drink.
