* This appointment made in October last, but not.
to take effect until the 20th of March,
Up to the time' ourpapor went to press on yes
terday, we had not received a word of news from
H irrisburg about the doings of the Legislature.—:
The snow which fell on Friday has so fair laid a
complete embargoon the mails, that wo have.not
received a-siugle one from Philadelphia, and but
.At the request of seyeraV oftwP democratic Sub
scribers , we.ibsßrt, in another part of this paper,
what purports to be the proceedings of a “Demo
cratic Anti-Porter Meeting” atHarrisburg. . But}
•in so doing, we wish it to be distinctly understood
that we dissent in tolo from, the letter and spirit
of the resolutions. -
Wo still believe, and every day's information
confirms us more fully in the .belief, that Gpy.
Porter is decidedly the strongest njaa lbat could
be nominated by the Fourth of March Convention
—and ihe-only one,-pbriiap6, lliat we could be
certain of cleclingat the present juncture, Should
ho recoiv&tho nomination, of which there can bo
but little doubt, wo trust and hope that every good
,dciT»ocTjjt-in Cumberland county, no matter what
: his personal predilections may be, will at once lay
bis should* r to the wheel, ami aid in saving the
Stale from fulling into tiiehunds of the Federalists.
The present is no time to dispute about men.—
The Democracy of Pennsylvania go for .measures,
and whoever is Selected for their standard hearer
should meet with the mostcordiul nnd'iieuriy sup
port of every democrat. •

From the Report of .the Post Master General
we. learn that the extent of post routes, in the U.
States is J 65.739 miles, end the annual transpor
tation ori.Jhom, 36,370,776 miles-at tbe-cost-of
$3,296,870. The number of contractors isaboul
2000; post offices, 13,638, of Which 951 have been
established within the present year. ‘Within the

ditures, $1,750,1 M. v of - Expenditures,
$219,8*15.
Tfio post Master General menliops as among
the causes of this excess, or rather of the deficien
cy in the the embarrassments of the times,
the practice extensively adopted of carrying news
papers oi’it of the mails, and the abuse of the frank
ing privilege. . • :
During tlie weeks ending the 2<l May, 2d Juno
and 7th July last, tlicro were 22,038 free letters
and packets sent from the Executive Departments,
20,363 free letters from members of Congress, and.
392,268 public documents and other franked pack
ets making, in all, 43*1,669,^ ; The public docu
ments and packets from Congress ‘weighed 32,-
669 lbs. ‘
Mr. Niles recommends the abolition of the al
lowance to postmasters of 2 cents on free letters,
and of the frankingprivilege, except to the Heads
of Departments; a limitation by law, of compensa
tion for all Steamboat, Rail Rond, and coach ser
vice; the equalization of postage on newspapers
an.l other printed, mailer, with an advance of on e
hundred per cent and a revision of the tariff of ,lst
ter postage, with a reduction of 25 per cent.

Grundy died at his residence in.

ing and painful illness. , Thfi.follpwing brief
sketch of his life will bo interesting to the general
reader. ‘ :
“Mr. Grundy was bom in Bcrkly county,-Vir
ginia, on (be 1 lib of September, 1777. His father,
an Englishman by . birth, removed to Kentucky
about the year 1780,‘ at a period when, to use bis
own language “death was in almost every Jinsh
and every thicket conccalcd an ambu'scadc;“ llireo
of his brothers having been soon after murdered,
and his m'olbo'r rdbbed, by the Indianb.' d '*'
“Mr. Grundy haying received a common scliobl
education at Bardstowru Kyh studied law with
George Nicholas, and was admitted to the par in
1797.
“In 1799 ho was elected a member from Wasli
ington'eounty of a convention called to revise the
constitution of Kentucky. Soon after he was
chosen to the-Legislature, where lie continued
until 1806, when ho was appointed a Judge of thp
Court of Appeals. In'Mareli, 1800, ho-was made
Chief of the State of Kentucky.. "In con
sequence of the inadequacy,of. the salary, he re
moved to,Nashville, Teari., to practice in'kip pro

TREMENDOUS AND TERRIBLE; EX
PLOSION.—Jin entire, 'building a mass
of ruins--.three persons dangerously woun
ded and two of the - number dreadfully
scalded-steam boiler-blown through a
house, and miraetdous escape of a whole
family. -
About seven o’clock on the morning-hr
the 21st rilt., a steam boiler in tin: paper,
manufactory of Gabriel Moore in West Ken
sington,, exploded with a loud and awful re-;
port demolishing the entire building, a three
lstory frame, with brick in front and rear,
laying it in one complete mass of ruins', and
burying beneath the same all the machinery,
a large quantity of paper, rags, &c. and two
men—Enoch Garsidc-, engineer, and John
Grant, tender, both of whom had just com
menced tlic day’s work. They were taken
from under (he ruins.dreadfully scalded and
wounded. Grant had each of his legs and
one of his thighs broken, anti Ins arms liter
, ally flayed. .
Mr. Moore at the time of the accident was
standing outside of the.building, and was
sevorelly injured by one of the falling frag
ment's, width struck him on the head and
knocked him down, causing a slight fracture
of the skull and a violent concussion of the
brain. Jits recovery was. considered doubt
ful, and Garsldcs and Grant particularly, it
was believed,-could' : not possibly survive.
The scene of the terrible disaster is such,
a one as has been rarely witnessed. The
demolished Factoiy is situated between Ed
ward, School, William and Lydia atreots,
fronting on Lydia street near the corner
School. There were two other boilers in
addition to thceneJliat hurs.tcd, all in the
basement story. The boiler Which exploded
was thrown into tlrti air about 100 feet, and
in its descent changing its direction, was
sent end foremost against the back wall of a
double brick bouse adjoining, making a full
passage through the wall, oneor two feet a
hove the line of the second, story, bemg for
ced aome.distance across_ the. flour of, a :.bcd
room, knocking away a staircase, and shat
tering pieces pflathing, plasleringand bricks
upon a bed. The, family whose names are
Porter, thgt. occupied this wing of the liouse
.wero eating their breakfast in a lower.apart--
'tnent when tllc explosiun occurred. Three'
clrildren had but a moment previous left the
repurwhiclrtheboiler en tered 'rsrtlieirllcallr
must have been inevitable. The escape, of
the whole family, in fact, is one truly mirac
ulous. The explosion did a good deal of

and all the dwellings ill the immediate vi
cinity,sufteredin glass and crockery: The
concussion, all. in all,; was a
one; and. was felt for squares around the
neighborhood, . Mr. Moore, who was an in-,

less than, 910,000, heavily.
■ Cause- of the It Has been as
