I THE 8 pARCITY OF^HLVBRt Many ingenious speculations have been made,says the Harrisburg Ktyitone t and many .plausible theo ries advanced In relation to itio scarcity of silver and it* 'Consequent apprcciation; From, the >sudden dl* tninotiqnjin ihp aitaount of and other causes,.we have been led to wonder whether both the scarcity. And appreciation were not more imaginary than real, and whether the desire for an issue of small notes has notmorotodo with it;in IhUSlate alleast, than tho Influx of gold* from California, the increased product in the Ural mountains, or any of the other causes assigned, in the speculations and theories re ferred to. / -vz-TL IO , scarcity of .silver, la the argument most ex tensively urged in favor ,of an issue of small, notes) they who use it being ignorant or forgetful of the fact, ih.M:lh.o_f®m*dy would but increase the disease, that, the inevitable*., operation of an issue, of notes under five dollars, would bo but to give us less silver than we have, and that the'issue of notes under one dollar would leave us nonr.lh the panic of. 1834, the re storation.of the depositee and tho re-oharter of the Bank,.were declared by. public meetings, Stale Le gislatures and County Conventions, and in petitions a roilo long, to bo tho indispcnsible andonly remedy to relieve (he pressure, and restore prosperity to a country ruined by the obstinacy of one old man. Yet when Congress adjourned without either ordering the deposits to be restored,.or tho bank re-chartered, and it was rendered evident that the old. man’s obstinacy was not only increased,but triumphant, tho pressure at once ceased, (he panic disappeared,and prosperity of the couulry returned, and that ruin was over. Let the Legislature adjourn without allowing an issue of small. notes, and wp shall see a similar re* suit. Whcn the inducement for making ipecio scarce has ceased to exist, the scarcity will ceaso also, and ir the officers of the Mint do their duty and give us gold dollars and half arid quarter eagles instead of double eagles, the advocates of shinplastera will bo ashamed to prefer'their, suit to the next Legislature. The New Postage Lawi . This law will go into effect on the first day of July next, and under it the American Volunteer-may bo sent by mail,'upon (hg following terms: . 7b any Pott Office within the county of Cumberland t FREE., Beyond the county, per quarter,as follows: Cte> Cts.

Those only, living beyond (wq thousand miles—and they are very few —will be subjected to a slightly increased rate. We hope that many persons, particularly in Com. berlaiid county, who have, been deterred from sub. scribing to the Volunteer , on account of the postage; (which now amounts to more than oneMtrd the price of subscription,} will not hesitate, slier the first of July, to take a paper, which will give (hem a weekly report of alt matters of interest transpiring in their own neighborhood, together with a faithful abstract of general hews—all for the trifling sum of 81,50 a year. Mineral Wealth or Pennsylvania.— From au thenlic statistics of ibo mineral wealth of PennsyU vanis, it possesses 504 iron works in (he whole Slate, the capital of which, in lands, buildings and machinery, amount* to twenty millions of dol lars, not Including in (be estimate any of the mining capital dally employed j'snd that these 504 works furnish employment to 30,103 men, and 13,562 horses—exclusive of coal lands, farms, glial and saw , mills,and dwellings for workmen. The ore Is bought of the farmers in the vicinity, who dig H on their farms and haul U to the furnaces in the winter, when out of agricultural occupation. The value of these ore banks and the labor spent on Ihoia forms another distinct item of value. Forty.five counties in the State contain iron works; of the seventeen that have no furnaces, moo contain abundance of ore and coal; but have been neglected, owing to Uje.want of good roads to a market. Eight counties only aro not suited to the manufacture of iron. In 1647, these works consumed 463,000 tons Anthracite cool, 1,. 007,600 bushels bituminous, and 1,490,262 cords of wood—the total value of which was $5,000,000. , Pennsylvania has no nobler title than.that of the \" Iron Slate," Corruption in the New York Leoiblsture.— Considerable excitement has been made at Albany, and throughout New York, by & statement made to the Legislature tof that Stale by Mike Walsh, sub fltantiated by the affidavit of a Mr. Suydam, that the Sergcant.at’Armi of tho Legislature, Mr. Doll, had been bribed to procure tho defeat of a bill against gambling, and that some members of tho Legislature had taken monoy to aid in defeating it. Tho tele, graph saya that Mr. Bull has left Albany. Mr. Suy. dam incidentally confesses that he is a professed gaming house keeper. Omissions in the Census.— Tho tables, says the National Intelligencer, returned by the Marshals and filed in tho Census Office, profess to include the names of all persona roalding within the U.

Appeals will bo heteafter made I* to these records to ascertain facta of Importance to families and Individuals. References are now fre« qucnlly made lu ihe Census Bureau to ascertain from the documents in tho office, facts relating to the place of residence of families In 1790. In view of , these circumstances, tho aUenllon of ell Individuals who may have reason to Ihink themselves overlooked by the assistant marshals is called to these facts, with n* request that they will Airnish lo tho suporih* tendenl of tho census the name, age, color, sex and condition, (free or slave) and birth place of each member of tho family, with their place of residence op (ho Ist day of Juno last.

It is highly phobablo the captains or commanding officers of companies will he called upon to furnish, thoir rolls loathe Auditor, General, and some officer bo designated to make payment thereon, to those interested. Claimants should not dispose of their.demands.until these matters are settled, arid wo would suggest to tbo volunteers the propriety of con sulting thoir officers before placing their claims in the handaof speculators. • Another Hero Gone.—We are pained to announce the death of Gen. George M. Brooke, in St; Louis, on the 241 h ult., one of the oldest and bravest officers of the American army. He served with distinction in tho last war with Great Britain, and at tbe time of Ms death held the command in Texas- When the Mexican war broke out, priority of rank wouldhave entitled him to tho command of the "armyofobser valion," instead of Gen.

Tbord is also a spacious and well built mansion on the place, situalcd'in the midst of picturesque oaks. ’ A more beautiful and appro, prlato point could not have been selected for the pro posed Asylum. Resumption op Improvements.— The. resumption by the Stale of the. Erie Extension Cana), is strongly urged by the Cana) Board; in a communication made by. the Legislature on that subject. The cost of re sumption according to the terms of the act by which it was given in charge of tho present company, would be about $500,000. The Improvement Committee of lho House of Representatives also recommend the 1 resumption by the State of the Delaware arid Hudson Canal. The charter of the present company was granled-March 13th, 1823, and contained a clause providing that If at the end of thirty .years U shall appear that the tolls, during that time, sbajl.have s. mounted to so much .above six per cent* annum on the amount expended In constructing and keeping the works in repair, as wilt be equal to the capital so expended, then (bo legislature moy resume; all the rights, liberties and franchises so granted,-./In ease (he lolls do not reach tho amount stated, (hen tho legislature may, after payment of the deficiency to the corporators, resume the work.

Hshcd a statement of a mother, at Pittsburgh, having received a mortal blow from her daughter. The facts are melancholy enough, but not so bid ae re. presented, The Pittsburgh American says, that “ some of the children were quarrelling In a room— the daughter was parting or reproving (hom t< and hod (he poker In her hand when (ho mother came in, and, reprimanding the children, look tho pokur from the daughter, and turning round, and in something of a ruffled and excited state of mind, stumbled and fell, the poker entering her tide, penetrating between throe and four inches.

Tho under currents arc working thoir way to the surface, and in (be slrfo of despot against despot, which, now marks the day of Europe, larger liberty -will be tho toward of the people, though it may. bo purchased at the cost of much blood. The religions agitation in England seems io have lost nothing in Intensity, especially in Parliament. - The Ecclesiastical Titles.bill, however, is making little headway, and (heir discussions upon it partake mare, wc are sorry to say, of. anything else than wo conceive to be the true Christian feel* ing. The bill as it'now stands, is almost without friends, but over its emasculate form an angry.war of words is still, carried op, and the;. institution of Churches on cither bond,, broadly, violently, and sometimes most unreasonably assailed. No legisla tion upon a religious question, In this spirit, can by any possibility be productlve of good, and it is, per haps, a hopeful sign, which is now discernible, that nothing will bp accomplished in referenda to the anti papal measures proposed by (he ministry, until both parties have had,tlme to cool and look at the question with more solemness and toleration. ■ Eleven Lottery Dealers, in the Delaware and Maryland .lotteries, wore arrested one day last weak, at Boston, and every ono of (hem sent to jail.

Cannibalism, Grime, and Prompt Punishment.— Major Bartlett, of the Mexican Boundary Commit*, sion, informs the editor of the Now Orleans Crescent, that pear El Paso,n roconnoilering party found a negro man and woman In tho act of cooking the head and parts oftho body nf a negro, which wore on the fira. They said they were slaves of a Mr, Owens, in Holly Springs, Miss., and had. run away last corn, planting. They plead starvation as their excuse for killing (heir associate runaway. They aro now in custody, at- Sari Antonio. Some horrible scones of licentiousness,.murder and punishment had occurred at Socorro, in l tho closing days of January. 'Bands of armed ruffians, discharged teamsters and soldiers, and,frontier desperadoes, had been practising fiendish excesses, and more like brutish beasts than men, taking tho lives of unoffending people, robbing and killing without provocation or remorse. On one oc* cation they perpetrated a foul murder at a fandango on E. C. Clarke, said to be the son of J, \V. Clarke, U. 8. Senator from Rhode Island, In the tame out* rsgo, a man named Gales was shot. Tho members of ttio Boundary Commission seized eight of the worst, including Wade, Butler and Craig. These men were brought before Judge Borthold,on (he 30th of January, examined end committed, and (he next day they were tried by Jury, sentenced to be hong wilhip one hour, and notwithstanding tho throats and preparations of their associates, (ho 'sentence was enioread,and they were hung.opto (ha branches of p lroeon Friday morning.

Thiohusband has taken counsel,' and tire Courts will do justice. In the mean time, the fallen beauty remains in Paris, protected 'by her charms, and apparently elated by the sensation she has made in that gay and voluptupus city. Fooitivb Slave Caps —Symmoa, a negro, was arrested in Boston, on Friday last, as a fugitive slave from Savannah, Ga„ the alleged properly of James Porter. Tho prisoner was taken before the United Stales Commissioner, and after an investi gation, in which some of tho evidence against the negro was of a positive character, the case was adjourned to Monday, when Mr. Raptoul, one of the counsel for Symroes, designed arguing the con stitutionality of the fugitive slave law as to the right of a United States Commissioner to sit upon it; the right of an alleged fugitive to trial by Jury, &o. .Considerable excitement was manifested during the progress of the trial, and at one lime it was feared there would be outbreak, but every precaution was taken to prevent such an occur rence. Several military companies were in read loses to await the order of the proper authorities. The abolitionists held a meeting on Friday night, at which resistance to the fugitive slave law was advocated. The prisoner is confined ip tho Bos ton Court House, which is strongly guarded.
