speech of our representative in Congress,
the Hon. Charles M’Clure, on the resolution
offered by Mr. Naylor for the appointment
of a committee to investigate the conduct of
Commodore Elliott. We shall aqdeavor to
lay it before our readers next week.
|ej“The select. Committee of the U. S.
House of Representatives, appointed to, en
quire into the conduct of Commodore El
liott; consists of th'c following gentlemen.
Viz: Messrs. Naylor, M’Clure, Chambers,
Ingham, Mallory, Hamer and Lyon.
|C/“Thc proceedings of.thc Anti-Abolition
meeting, hejd at Lisburn on Monday last,
•hall appear'in our next.
|Cr”William B. Muslin, Eaq. has been
appointed Postmaster at Kidderminster, in
place of Samuel Givin, Esq. remove - The
fedefalPostmasterat New Cumberland rhaV
we understand, also got leave from Mr,
Kendall to retire from the cares of office,
and a saund democrat appointed in his place.
We trust the good-work will go on-,-until-the
Augean stable is effectually cleansed from
federal corruption.
"Burns ,, —No 3, shall appear next week.
|Uj“Thc town of Adelphi, in Indiana, was
nearly destroyed by fire on the 20th ult.
|C7»„We hardly think it necessary to re
ply at length to the charges and insinuations
of the Herald against Mr. Eby. It is suffi
cient to observe, that if those charges, &c.
were endorsed by the Managers or any oth
er respectable and responsible individuals,
we have no doubt that Mr. E. would be able
and willing at once to prove their-'falsity;
but emanating from the source they, do, any
notice from him would be altogether super
fluous: ■ We will only remark in justice to
that individual, and we are prepared to sub
stantiate our. assertion,-that the charges of
" insolence , &c. to the Managers, brought
against him, are false and without the sha
dow of foundation. ’Tis true that he has,
ns. every freeman should, when the subject;
was introduced, expressed his political pre
ferences; but-that he “assailed” the Board Of
Managers in' the “coarsest and grossest”
manner,—or that he was "insolent!’ arid
“overbearing” to “Managers, Engineers,
Stockholders, and. persons having business,
with' the company,” is untrue in every re
spect-, We shall say nothing more at pre
sent',.but, if heed be, we shall advert to the
subject next week.
A Masterly J?e/rea£<—-The Tennessee
Sentinel has the following reference to;the
admirable escape, of the “flying phenome
non.” L
1 ‘-‘The Harrisburg Keystone. states that
Mr. Penrose, the federal.Speaker.of thcSe-
Sate, in effecting his retreat from the Senate
Chamber; On the first day; of the ’session,'
jumped out of it windowjwehefeet high,
through three thorn bushes'/and over a seven
foot picket’fence!!! Whatever may be
thought of Mr. Penrose’s courage, there can
be no dispute about his activity, Hervould
be an invaluable acquisition tp
ahdwe advise.him to turn his attention that
k vviiy, as it is evident that his 'eareer as a pol
itician. is about closing, .
J- fcSP»The, Branch Bank of the State of Al
abama has a Hand tune suspended specie
fiyments. , jv
|C7»A bill has passed the'Senate of Ohio,,
by a vote of 17 t.q 15, to prohibit the. estab
lishment of any agency,-or branch'; of. the U,
S. Bank of Pennsylvania, in that common-.,
wealth. About one year ago, a federal leg
islature repealed ai similar act, in order to
Biddle an,opportunity to car
ry on his wholesale gambling policy in the
very heart pf one of the most prosperous and
thriving states in the Union, and thereby to
paralyze the industry of her people, by in
viting hordes of gambling speculators
mongst them to eat put their substance. But
federalism had ifsday, and that young and
vigorous, commonwealth now stands untram
melled and uncorrupted as an abiding mon
ument of the virtue and intelligence of her
people.
George IF. Dixon. —This notorious scoun
drel, who figured several years ago in this
borough and elsewhere aaa great VGumbo
Chaff” singer, has lately caused much ex
citement in New York, by libelling respect,
able citizens through the columns of a small
paper under his control. Having been in
dicted in 18, cases, he was required to give
bail in the sum of 818,000. Mrs. Miller, a
courtezan of the city, went his bail; blit a
few days after surrendered his body to the
proper officers, and he is now in durance vile.
Col. Johnson*—A Kentucky paper says:
“Col. R. M. Johnson will not be. a candidate
for re-election as, Vice President. Rumor
states that his friends have prevailed upon
him to offer for the next Governor of Ken
tucky.” In the event of Cbl.'lL declining,!
the Washington “Metropolitan” - urges~lhe
nomination of the' Hon. James Buchanan. :

blast against the Abolitionists. Chamelion

tiling’. What will the abolitionists of the
East now think of him, whom but yesterday
they landed to the skies?
Hail Road to Pittsburg. —A public meett
of the citizens of Pittsburg took place on
Friday week, for the purpose of taking,
measures to secure the construction of the
Rail Road from Chambersburg to Pittsburgh
gQ° , 'l 99,025 hogs were slaughtered at
Cincinnati, during the past season.
Messrs. Editors;—A writer in the last
Herald, with more zeal than prudence, has
undertaken tef'justify the Managers of the
Cumberland Valley Rail Road in their ex
pulsion from office of Messrs. Angncy and
Eby, and argues, that, because. Gov. Porter
and the Canal Commissioners have, accord
ing to the invariable-practice of all their pre
decessors, removed - theiT“polittcal enemies"
from office and supplied their places with
democratic citizens, therefore the Managers
of the Railroad, according to the same prin
ciple, ought to remove every democrat from
office over whom they have control. This
kind of logic might answer very well, if the
road was constructed by, and exclusively
for the. use of, the federalists; but until this
is made apparent, their, system of proscrip
tion-must of necessity be looked upon as al
together unjustifiable. If the'principle be
good, the Managers ought to carry it out,
and not only exclude their political oppo
nents from office, but also prevent any of
them from travelling.,onthe road or forward
ing; their produce to market by this means
of conveyance. But did the Legislature,
when the act for incorporating the company
was passed, intend that the road should be
for the accommodation of one particular po
!HpSa| party'iouhc exclpsionof all others, or
waks^intendeintgvthe benefit of the public
gene rally?-—"The re can be,but one reply to
this_interrogatory.' If,’then, the road was
intended to be, constructed for the benefit of
the community at Jarge, without regard to
the political sentiments of the people, I ask
by whatfautbofity have the Managers sp far
departed from the intension of the Legisla
ture, as to make the whole concern a mere
party machine to be brought into subservi
ency to the interests of. a few unprincipled
political demagogues?,, It- is due -to them
selves, as managers; to-the stockholders, who
are deeply interested in the character of the
road; and to the community at large, to sat
isfy the public mind oh this subject. If the
road is -to be a political it be so—if
not, thp public mind should be disabused in
relation thereto. -

The la'st-tifiicial visit of the undersigned

throughout the establishment. AH appear

with apparent system and regularity. In
the apartments appropriated to the sick a
great improvement has been introduced (this
is the,ingenuity off the Steward who, appears
always-to be planning for the cbmfort of the
unfortunate beings committed to his care.)
Thefnvcntion alluded" to lias'banishcd the
offensive odour which appeared heretofore to
be inseperable from these halls of distress,
and will largely contribute to the comfort of
those who are confined-to that department of
the establishment.- We close this our last
report with unqualified approbation of the
management of the establishment.

too highly esteemed, to require eulogy. But

neighbor, and a aensisteiu follower of the

him best. He died in great —his
body free from racking pain, anilbiis
stayed upon God his Saviour.’ •

The commanding General of the Ist Bri-
IfH Division, P. M. has receivedand
read the proceedings of a Court of Enquiry
convened in Carlisle, on the Bth instant, of
which Col. Lewis Hycr, of the 86th Regi
ment, was President—said court having been
solicited by Lieut. Col. 'Willis Foulk, of the
Ist Battalion of Cumberland Volunteers—i
arid I-am pleased to find by the- testimony,
as taken and recorded at the court, that nut
a single charge which has been made s against
him will subject him to the least censure. —
I am also pleased to find that, from the time
he entered the U. S. Army in 1812, he has
also been proven to be a ordue and merito
rious officer during his whole term of ser
vice—and has conducted himself as a' gCn
tlemah and' an officer ever since.: I: anf
pleased with the part he took in the political
strife at Harrisburg in December last, and I'
■have every reason to believe that, had he
been in command of his Battalion there,, he
would have supported his dignity as a brave
soldier had.it been required.
