Atlantic Monthly.— The February
number of this standard publication con
tains a rich treat. The article entitled
“ Ought Women to learn the Alphabet V’
is attributed to the pen of one who is
known to favor “ Women’s Bights.” “In
a Cellar” is an excellent production and
will well repay a perusal. “ Bulls and
Bears” is a continuation of an article com
menced in the January number and is
from the pen of one who understands his
subject and can portray it in life-like
scenes. “ The. Professor of the Breakfast
Table” is another of the companions of the
“ Autocrat,” and the expected, personage,
intimated in the close of the present arti
cle, leads as to imagine that he will be a
character of more than common interest.
No one should be without this magazine.

take pleasure in recommending it to our readers.
No one should be without a copy of it. It should
bo road by every man, woman and child in the
country. No one con read it without being edi

which pertain to their apiritoal and eternal Wel

Sabbath School in the laud—not one copy only,
bat half-a-dozen copies. Everything narrated
therein is true and nnvarnished-r-no imaginary
sufferings or ecstadee of bliss—th* simple state
ment of an humble suffering Christian woman.
We say to one and all, buy a copy of this work,
and thereby attain a treasure and contribute to
the support of one who is in every, way worthy.
The proceeds of the sale of tho book is to be ap
plied to the support of Miss Rankin, who, in
consequence of her protracted sufferings, has
been reduced to limited circumstances. Price

LETTER FROM UABRISBdBCi.
HAaaiBBCjEG, January 25, 1859.
Qunniu I presume that by this time it
u not .necessary, to inform you of the wiping out
of the Canal Board, which was done in the most
summary manner on Thursday list, The books,
papers and other fixtures .of the office are to be
transferred to the Auditor General s office, who
is hereafter to pass judgment on all claims de
nominated cadent, and 1 might add, fuhy.
The amount of Legislation dene since I last
wrote to you, is not very largje, and mostly of a
local nature, hut nothing as affecting your Ip,
cality.
-fhe Passtoger Hallway bills are flocking in,
and bid fair to multiply as the sessiouadvances.
Pittsburgh is in the ring now, too. Some wont

in favor are -by the business men of the city ,

would cony much weight with them. -
10 lo ?king over the Adjutant General’s Re
port, I find that Blair county throws a bold
front in military affairs. Within her n pent up
Utica” ore eleven companies, being a few more
than the wide domain embraced within the large
territory composing Lancaster and Cheater
counties. There are 501 companies in the
State, according to the returns, which embrace
only 40 counties, and 65,616 men. Blair is
ahead, according to her size.
Among the eminently grant men who have
visited the Capitol for a week past, is Qen. Duff
Green, who comes here to get a bill of gigantic
proportions passed. It is for the incorporation
of a company with extensive ramifications, cal
led the .‘‘ American improvement and Loan
Company,” with a principal office at Philadel
phia and branches throughout the world. A
memorial from the General was read in the
Senate to-day and ordered to be printed in the
Record. The whole thing appears very Utopian.
The case of Donavan oamenp in the Court of
Quarter Sessions ef this connty on Friday last,

armed,with any weapon to kill.
The Record printing business was disposed of
to-day. The resolution rescinding the contract
with R. J- Haldcman, passed by the House, was
called up in the Senate, where it received a
quietus by a vote of 16 to 11. Mr! Bergner put
himself to much unnecessary trouble to accom
plish so little, since he could not otherwise than
foresee this revolt in the Senate.
The public printing was allotted to-day, by
both Houses, in Convention, and of course to A.
Boyd Hamilton, who proposed to enter into
bonds to execute it for 76f per cent less, than

caped in the one o’clock train, which came in
soon after the perpetration of tbo robbery. The
man who addressed the Treasurer is represented
as being about forty years of age, with black
whiskers, high cheek bones, and a gentlemanly
appearance. A reward of $2,000 is offered foi
the capture of the thieves, and $3,(|QO for the
recovery of the money. The robbery is one of
the boldest ever perpetrated in that section of
the country, and has caused a great deal of ex

hood. Should the tbeives be caught, we would
hot be a bit surprised to bear of their receiving
summary punishment at the bands of the peo
ple of the district.

or two since, which, we hope, stands atone. In
the late terrible disaster on the Muscogee Bail
Road, in which the cars were precipitated into a
swollen torrent with a fearful destruction of hu
man life, one of the passengers had the mitfor
tune to lose bis wife and two children. He re
marked the next day, in tbs presence of his
fellow passengers, who, with himself were saved
from the wreak as if by- miracle for 5 none of
them could tell bow, that in addition ito the loss
of his family, he had lost all his money, it hav
ing been tied up in a belt (or security and
buckled around his wife’s waist.. Daring the
duy the waters subsided and the passengers,
who remained in the neighborhood of the wreck)
commenced a search for the dead bodies.. The
body of the lady alluded to was found about a
mile below the wreck, and upon examination it
was ascertained that her dress had been torn
open and the money belt robbed of it| contents,
some seven hundred dollars. Fresh tracks were
discovered in the mud, leading off from the body,
which the searching party traced up, until they
came upou one of their own number who had
just met with so uiraculonsan escape from death,
and who was present when his fellow pastenger
told the story of his loss. He was immediately
taken in hand, searched, and the entire amount
found upon his person. Our informant added
