From Ilarrisburgrh.
; We did not receive any Ilarrishurgh
papers by the last mail, and our latest in
telligence from the Lejfiidature is dated
March 10. At that date the appropriation
Hill had passed in the House and been sent
to the Senate. It makes provision for or
dinary expenses; and for repnirs of Rail
roads, Canals, It contains a section
also, reducing thc'salary ot Judges, and
appropriates $200,000 for Common
School purposes.
From I lie Army.
The New Orleans Picayune has ac
counts from St. Joseph's Island under date
of the 13lh February. Only two com
panies of the United States troops had
then moved toward the Rio Grande, their
purpose being to reconoitrc. It was ru
mored that the Mexicans were fortifying
Point Isabella, and the main body of the
United States forces were expected to
start for Brazos Santiago about the 20th
of the present month.
Scarcity of Provender.
' In some of the Districts of Maryland,
provender is said to be unusually . scarce,
and we have been informed that recently
several farmers of Allegany county in
that State, drove their cattle into Brothers
valley, in this county, for the purpose of
having them fed till spring.

nominated William B. Foster, one of the

Mad I)op!
We learn that one day last week a mad
dog passed along the turnpike east of this
plaee, and that jseveral dogs are known to
have been bitten by him. The owners
very properly had thein killed, immedi

fhould be on the watch, as it is possible
that other dogs have been bitten.
The Right of Way.
Our Philadelphia neighbors are "going
on" in a terrible way relative to the
"right ol way" which the Legislature of
Pennsylvania is about granting to the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. They ' seem
to think that the very existence of Balti
more depends on its consummation, and
the commercial slandingof Philadelphia on
its rejection. If the depot of the Balti
more road, located at Pittsburgh, is to ruin
Philadelphia, what will be the effect of its
location at Parkersburgh, or even at Whee
ling? At one of these three points it is
certain to find a depot on the Ohio; and
of these three, according to our philoso
phy, Pittsburgh seems to us to be the
most favorable to Philadelphia and the
least so to Baltimore.- Bait. Sun.
OREGON.''
The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Te legraph .says:..--
"The really important and decisive
intelligence regarding the state of the
Oregon matter, will not leave England
until the 4th of April. The steamer of
that date will bring the despatches that
are to terminate the controversy for weal
or for woe we shall read the last chap
ter. The overture or proposition which
was transmitted to Mr. McLanc on the
1st. from the administration here, will
have been before the Ministry, and their
final purpose will have been taken, in
time lo communicate the result as I have
Mated."
The recent snow drifted greatly on the
LouUa, (Ya.) Railroad, and in ome
places lay nine feel deep.

OUR PUBLIC WORKS.
(Dedicated to the citizens or Phil
adelphia, and Pittsburg.)
The utter failure of the Pennsylvania
Improvements to realize the expectations
of its early friends, is a subject deeply
felt not only by them, but by the citizens
of the state at large. It was confidently
expected and predicted, that they would
yield a revenue not only sufficient to pay
the interest on their cost, but leave a sur
plus towards a sinking fund for the pay
ment of the principal. But instead of
this, they hardly yield (nett) one fourth
of the interest, burdening the people with
an onerous tax of 1 ; millions and leaving
the extinction of the debt wholly out of
the question.' By the !Auditor General's
report from five to six millions are or
become due this year how is that to be
paid? Sell the works for half their costs,
and make up the balance by taxation!
Neither can be done. There is then no
prospect that the people will ever be re
lieved of state taxes to pay the interest
on the canal debt. Nothing but gloom
and despondency stares us in the face.
The improvements of the State were
undertaken mainly to preserve for Phila
delphia the trade of the great west. The
estimates of the costs were, in the first
place, a gross and shameful deception, be
ing hardly half of the actual cost and
their construction and management a most
splendid affair o those concerned, and a
most stupendous outrage upon an honest
and confiding people. From the com
mencement until the completion of these
improvements, deception, fraud, pecula
tion, waste and extravagance to a greater
or less extent: prevailed, and legions of trea
sury leeches battened on the toil and sweat
of an abused and deceived people, who are
now, their agency, burdened with a debt
of forty millions! And even when fin
ished, what are these works worth?
With Philadelphia at their eastern termi
nation, and the large trading and manufac
turing city of Pittsburg (with a water com
munication from thence to every part of the
great Mississippi valley) at the western,
and a rich settled country with towns and
cities between them, what have these
splendid improvements been worth to the
state? A paltry million, after being in
"successful experiment" for some ten
years' or upwards. The heart sickens to
contemplate these things.
And why arc the Pcnn. improvements
such a miserable failure, compared with
the improvements of our neighboring
states? How comes it that New York,
whose canal was made half its length
through a wilderness, and terminated, not
at a large commercial and manufacturing
city, but at a (then) little village (Buffa
lo) of perhaps a thousand souls, now
derives the splendid revenue of 2i mil
lions from it, and will be enabled in a
few years to pay the last dollar of her
canal debt? And how comes it that Ma
ryland, with her railroad terminating at a
small town in the mountains (I had al
most said, in the woods,) and but two or
three years-open, is alreading deriving an
income from it nearly or quite equal 'o
the intercft on its cost! " Aye I ask the
question emphatically how come these
things?
It is in vain for the Governor and oth
ers to talk of the "great and inexhausti
ble resources of the state: it is m vain
for your citizens to establish boards of
trade and chambers of commerce, and in
vain to cite an addition of one or two
thousand houses annually to your cities,
as an evidence of their prosperity or in
crease of business. All this is idle.
Neither talk in the executive chamber nor
calculations behind the counter affect the
business on our improvements one fig.
It is CAPITAL and' ENTERPRIZE
that is wanting. This is the secret
which enables New York and Maryland
to outstrip us and take from us the trade
not only of the west, but of a great part
of our state also. What is it that has
built up five or six cities and innumera
ble towns along the New York canal, and
made the wilderness to blossom as a
rose? And what has made Cumberland
rise out of the ashes of a burnt village,
to take the rank of a city in a half, do
zen years? Enterprize and capital,
is the answer. The people of the cities
of New York and Baltimore understand
their own interests, while they also know
how to promote the interests of their res
pective suites. As their public works
progressed, they threw capital into the
villages along the line, and with it crea
ted a stir, a business and a market for eve
ry' thing in the neighborhood. It was
capital thus employed which built up
those villages into cities, and with these
grew and improved the country. Nor
did they stop there. New York capital
is actively employed to buy up the flour,
wheat, pork, ashes, and innumerable oth
er produce of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois, fcc, and forward to their great
emporium of trade. And where are the
towns and cities that have sprun into
existence along the Pennsylvania works,
through Philadelphia capital? Where,
between Ilarrisburg and Pittsburg, is the
market, where the farmer could ncll his
surplus produce? Alas, nowhere.
1 o talk of the resources of the state.
the industry of the people, &c, is, as I
have remarked all idle, unless capital and
enterprize lend ahelpinghand to. stimulate
that industry and develope those resour
ces. As an illustration ot tne correctness
of tliis remark, I may state that wc have
here on our left Johnstown, and on our
right Cumberland nearly equal in distant
from us. Johnstown is no market for a-'
ny thing, Cumberland for every thing. J
Iow mark the consequences, ranners
residing from 12 to 14 miles from thejjfor
mer, load their produce and haul it
50 miles to the latter, because there
they find a ready cash market for
it." They even come from north
ern Westmoreland to Cumberland
(some 70 miles) for the same reason all
because there is capital and enterprize in
mat piace ana none m Johnstown.
While the turnpike from here to Cumber
land is cut up by wagons, that leading to
Johnstown is for the greatest part grown
up with grass and thistles. And this is
the case no doubt with all the places along
our works between Ilarrisburg and Pitts
burgh. Instead of being a channel for
our produce eastward, or affording. in its
towns or cities a ready market for it, it is
actually hauled almost from their banks
and taken out of the state to find a mar
ket, which, through the short sighted
ncss of our capitalists, in vain it seeks
nearer home. It is capital that has
built up cities and towns along'the im
provements of our neighboring states-
it is capital that creates and stimulates
trade and traffic, and this trade finds its
way to their seaports by these canals and
rail roads, and thus increases their income,
while the capitalists, the towns and cit
ies, and the state arc benefited by the op
eration. As observed above, our improvements
were constructed mainly to preserve to
Philadelphia the great western trade.
But the people of that city seem to say
to the country "if you bring or send
your produce to us, we will buy, but will
not go an inch to get it." . Now had they
of New York thought or done so, would
they have their Utica, Rome, Syracuse,
Rochester, Buffalo, kc, with their 5000,
8000, 10,000, 15,000 population? Would
Cumberland have, already, her 7000, if
the Baltimorians had been brought up in
in Sleepy Hollow? Never! It is there
fore absurd to talk about the resources of
the state, unless capital and enterprize
arc employed to develope them.
If I have shown, as I think I have, that
for want of energy and enterprize and
the employment of capital by the citizens
of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, our im-r
provements, made chiefly for their benefit,
have turned out a failure, and now rest
as a monstrous incubus, upon our . state
I would ask what . is . the duty of those
citizens under the circumirtmces? They
seem to be fully conscious of that failure:but
what remedy do they propose? ; They of
Philadelphia answer, a continuous rail
road. Now let me tell them, that they may
: make ono; or ,a;dozen j wi jOads between
their city and the. west, and it will be
with no better success than the canal has
had, unless capital and enterprize are em
ployed not only in this, but also in the
western ststss, to throw trade and busi
ness upon them. Reason And common
sense, as well as the experience of New
York and Maryland, demonstrate this.-
Yet they want a continuous rail road from
Ilarrisburg to Pittsburg, thro' the cold,
hilly and mountainous parts of the state,
to keep the business of their city from
dying of atrophy, while they oppose and
violently denounce . the only scheme that
is practicable at all seasons, and . which
would benefit both cities without injuring
the st'.te improvements I mean the right
of way to the Baltimore and Ohio , rail
road company, with the priv ilege to inter
sect. Such is their policy: let them. carry
it out, and drive that company to Wheel
ing or some other point on the Ohioj and
all the rail roads the Philadelphians can
make, will not secure the western . trade
or save Pittsburg from ruin and j would
not give a dime for a thousand dollars of
the stock m tncir road: it could not "but
prove a twin to our state improvements.
What the best policy would be and
what the citizens of Philadelphia and
Pittsburg should do under the circum
stances is already indicated, but 1 will
recapitulate. Let them abandoa the idea
of a continuous rail road; apply the capi
tal it would require along our state im
provements and in the west (as they do
in New York) built up towns, .cities,
factories, &c, with it Create a ready
market for all our surplus produced, and
pass it on those works give the Mary
land company the right of way and make
Pittsburg thef focus of the great western
trade, and myword for it, in less than
ten years we can dispense with state tax
es and be able to commence a sinking fund
for the extinguishment of our enormous
state debt. -
I desire to be understood, that my ref
marks in relation to rail roads are not in
tended to apply to the citizens of Pitts
burg, a majority of whom I think have
correct views of that subject.
SENEX;
Somerset, March 1846.
LATE FROM MEXICO.
Wc have been favored with a letter re
ceived in this city last night, from which
we learn that the .'United States brig Law
rence arrived at Pensacola on the eve
ning of the 1st instant, in thirteen days
from Vera Ceuz, with despatches for the
Secretary of State from Mr. Slidell and
Commodore Conner.
Up to the time of the sailing of the
Lawrence (about lhe 16th rdtimo) Mr.
Slidell had not been received by - the au
thorities of Mexico, and the letter says
that it is supposed he will return to the
United States as soon as ha re
ceives answers to the despatches which
he has now forwarded. - r
This letter also states that the citizens
of Vera Cruz were looking out . and ho
ping for the return of Santa Anna, Irom
Havana; whose. arrival, was expected to
be the signal for the authorities of .Vera
Cruz to declare in his favor.
No other news had transpired. The
despatches for the Secretary of State are
6aid to be very voluminous.
The sloops of war Falmouth John
Jldams and St Mary's and the brig'or
poise, were all at Vera Cruz. The
steamer Mississippi and brig Somcrs
were at Pensacola, the latter to sair for
Vera Cruz on the afternoon of the 2d in
stant. Nat. Intel.
A sral, 50 inches long and 11 thick,
and weighing 70 pounds, was -killed up

A Foreign Prlnco for Mexico.
This subject is still- talked of,- and in
some quarters, the scheme is alluded to
as by; no moans impossible. Mexico, it
is contended, is tumbling to pieces, and
unless some of the monarchies of the Old
World interfere, she will beyond ques
tion, be absorbed in the United States.
Would it be politic, wise or practicable in
England, France, and Spain to attempt
any such movement ? We perceive that
the scheme is advocated, not only by the
London Times, but indirectly by the
Journal des Debals, the organ of the
French Government. That paper, after
stating that Mr. Poinsett, conformably to
the instuctions ot his Government, labor
ed to bring about the Federal system in
Mexico, in order to dismember her the
imore east!y, pretends to have been in
formed, by private' correspondence and
trustworthy travellers that all the honest
and well-intentioned people of the coun
try regretted the Royal rule, and express
ed lively wishes to see it reconstituted in
the hadsof some foreign prince. "This
return," adds the Jousnal, "of the Span
ish Ameriean Republic to monarchial
ideas is a serious subject for meditation;
they turn their spirits to monarchy as
their onl means ol safety." Bicknell.
Fredrf c 1 1 and his Sexton.
Fredric II had the following correspon
dence with the Sexton of the cathedral at
Berlin:
"I give notice to your Majesty, lstly,
that there are hymn books wanting for
the royal family; I give notice to your
majesty, 2dly, that I want fooel to hea
the royal pew; I give notice to your Ma-j
jesty, 3dly, that the ballustrade behind,
the church towards the river threatens,
ruin. -,
Schmidt, Sexton of the Cathedral." ,
Reply of the King. "I give notice
to Schmidt, the sexton: lstly that those
who wish to sing may buy books for
ihetnselves; I give notice to Schmidt, the
sexion 2dly, that' those who wish to be
warm may buy some wood: I give no
tice to Schmidt, the 6exton 3d! v. that the
baliustrade towards the river does not
concern me at all; I give notive lo
Schmidi. the sexton, 4thly, that I wish
to have no more correspondence with
him." .
Death of Governor Stockton, of
Delaware.-An Extra received last night
from the Delaware State Journal brings
intelligence of the lamented death of the
Hon. Thomas Stockton, Governor of the
State of Delaware, who died very sud
denly at Newcastle on Monday evening
last. Whilst in one of the public offices,
without any premonition of hi approach
ing end, his head fell suddenly upon his
breast, and he died without a struggle or
a groan. A rupture of some of the large
blood vessels in the vicinity of the heart
is , supposed by the physicians to have
been the cause of his death. His gener
al health and spirits for some time previ
ous had been remarkably good. His Gn
bernatorial term for service -would not
have expired until January, 1849, -Nat.
Intel. .
From. Santa Fe. The Independence
("Missouri) Kxpositor of the 7th ult. no
tices the arrival at that place of another
company of traders from Santa Fe. They
left Shihuahua on the 1st of December
and Santa B'e on the 1st of January, per
forming the latter trip in thirty-four days.
They brought with them about $35,000,
the most of which is said to have been
forwarded by residents .of New Mexico
to meet their indebtedness in Eastern
cities. This adventure is regarded as
testing the practicability of making this
journey at any season of the year. They
carried provender sufficient for their mules.
On the route they experienced but one
snow-storm; otherwise, the weatner was
favorable, but a little cold.
Riots In Montreal and Quebec.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Com
mercial writes from Montreal, under date
of the 2nd inst., uOur annual ward
elections for city councillors are held to
day; and in one Of the wards (the St.
Lawrence) some serious rioting took
place this morning; the Conflicting par
tics were,: as usual, those of Irish extrac
tion, opposed to the English and Scotch.
Fire arms were freely discharged, and the
Mayor of the city, who was one of the
candidates, was compelled to make his
escape through a back window of 'the
polling place and ride off for the military
who speedily cleared the groud, and re
stored something like order. Fortunate
ly the military were not called upon to
fire. The combatants were armed with
axe handles weapons by no means to
be despised when skilfully used. One
man was reported shot, but it was a mis
take. One of the proprietors of the Times j
newspaper, of this city, a conservative
journal, was attacked during the melee,
in his sleigh, and . severely wounded in
the head, and otherwise ill treated. Two
of the Councellors retumed are Americans
who are owners of considerable property
here.
-P. S. 3 P. M. A serious riot has
broken, out in the Quebec suburbs. I
have just learned, on good authority, that
a man has bsen shot.
A TOUCHING SCENE.
, The New York Commercial says:
"We attended the funeral of a neighbor
yesterday afternoon, where the deceased
had died after a very short illness, leav
ing a widow and three or four young
children. Just as the coffin was lifted
by the porters, to be carried to the place
of interment, one of the little innocents
exclaimed in a most pathetic tone
.Mamma, where are they going to carry.
papa!' We leave it to a fond parent,
and an endeared companion in life, to es
timate the feelings that must have perva
ded the heart of the widow and njother."
Premature Interment
The Paris Constiutionnel states; that
the cases of premature interment pre
vented by fortunate circumstances amount
in France, since the year 1S33, to 91.
Of those, 35 persons awoke of them
selves, of their Icthergy, at jto moment
the funeral ceremony was about the com
mence; 13 recovered in consequence of
the fall of coffins in which they were en
closed; 9 owed their recovery to wounds
inflicted by the needle in sewing their
winding sheet; 5 to the sensation of suf
focation they experienced in their coffin;
19 to their interment having been- delay
ed by fortuitous circumstances; and 6 to
their interment havinjr been delayed, in
consequence of doubts having been enter
tained of their death.
Sale of a Wife.
A few days ago, a man named Cross,
a shoemaker, residing at Woodside, sold
his wife and child for 500, to a person
named Tyrer. Five pounds was paid
down as a deposit, but when the purchas
er was about to convey his bargain away,
the lady refused to acknowledge the con
tract, and, after a long altercation, Cross
walked off with his wife and child, to
gether with what was left of Mr. Tyrer's
monev. Gross, who tells thestorvas a
good joke says he knew very well his
wife would never agree to the bargain,
but that there is no dealing with "the
pride and conceit of his wife," since the
gentleman valued her at so large a sum as
