Science, literature, art, the drama, (aw, divinity, surgery, medicine, parade their proudest names. We have at times proposed to introduce to our readers some of tho names most distinguished in these several departments, many of whom, besides a local, have a world-wide re nown, and whose reputation attracts thousaims to be instructed, entertained and benefited. Among them is Or. S. S. Fitch. This gentleman is one of aline of celebrated physicians." Hitf grand father. Dr. Kbeudzer Fitch, renowned for his piety, learning, and skill in surgery and medicine, was one of the surgeons of .the Connecticut line during the revolutionary war. His father, Or. Chauncey Fitch, was the Aral physician that set tled in Platlsborg, in this State, and for the great er part of his Hie was one of the most successful physicians that ever practiced medicine in Ame rica. lo the great epidemic of 1818, an epidemic that swept away nearly ten per cent of the popu lation of the United States, he taught its easy and perfect cure, and among his, numerous patients never lost a single case. Dr. S. S. Filch is the third of this lino, and was boro in Platlsborg. He, after receiving an excellent academical and classical education, repaired to Philadelphia, at an early age, to complete his medical education.— There he graduated in medicine, obtaining tho highest honors of his class. He spent about ten years in Philadelphia, closely and carefully pur suing his studies, after which he visited all the States of this Union, and many of the Indian tribes, lo 1836 he visited Europe, and during six years, much of his lime was spent in the hos pitals of London, Paris and Italy. In 1643, he commenced delivering bis celebrated lectures on the causes and cure of consumption and disease: on tho loss of life—showing by obvious and easily : understood rules, how human life may be‘extended to at least a hundred years. His lectures won all i hearers by their truthfulness, common sense and utility. In 1846, Ur. Filch Visited this city, and i published Ms lectures on these subjects, which 1 met with wonderful success. They inspired con fidence, joy, hope and courage among their read ers and circulated largely both in this country ' and in Europe. These lectures have passed through 'over tweniy editions, between one and two hun dred'thousand copies have been already Bold. To invalids, as well as thoso in the enjoyment-of health, they prove a perfect guide; and those who early adopt their teachings, and follow them, can not fall victims lo that scoorge of our climate pulmonary consumption, lo this city Dr. Fitch has been consulted by over forty thousand persons, of both sexes, for numerous and various diseases. Ho differs greatly from others in his views of a physician’s duty, as he thinks every member of this important profession should prepare and ad minister his own medicines; (hat unless he does this, he cannot, though ha may enjoy reputation, meet with he could attain by this means. He writes out an exact and careful ac count of every case that falls under bis notice.— These cases already exceed forty-five thousand Ailing more than" one hundred large Tqjomes, all carefully written out. No record of such extent was ever made before by a private physician, and in this way he--retains hia experience and daily adds to it; and an examination of these volumes will show that of all those who place themselves under hia care, nineteen out of twenty ate restored lo health. Dr. Fitch is at homa from morning (ill night, every day, except Iho Sabbath. His consultations, either at bU house or by letter, ore always free, as no charge whatever is made for examining any case for rich orpoor. The diseases he treats are conaoroplion, asthma, bronchitis, throat diseases, heart diseases, dyspepsia, bowel troubles, piles, all female diseases, liver com plaints, affections of the head, skin diseases, and all humors and Impurities of the blood, scrofula, &o. &o. Dr. Fitch resides at 714 Broadway, whore all invalids will find him a most skilful, sympaihtng and generous physician. We think our friends who call on him will find this a true history of one ©four moat respectable men. Til* laotr Tiui According to a calculation In the Pittsburgh Pail, the iron manufacturers of thia country hate a sure demand before them of nearly 8300,000.000 for fabrics to bo turned out from their manufactories—a demand that will re quite all, and more than all their capacity to sup ply fast enough. The calculation upon which the statement Is based, is the extent of railroad now in course ofconstruclion. With one hundred ions per mile, single track, it will require 1,300.000 tons of iron rail to complete the thirteen thousand miles of railroad, either in progress, or which will be in progress ere long, including the Pacific rail road. At 850 pet ton, this would require an out lay of 805.000,000 for single tracks alone. But many of these toads will bo double tracks, besides turnouts, &o. Then follows a fast outlay for car., locomotives, and other iron works about such toads. And it may be fairly estimated that all the iron for them will not cost less than 8150.000,000. Ocean and inland steamers. Iron ships, manufac turing machinery, iron buildings, and all the other innumerable usee to which iron it applied, mill require ns much mote: making an aggregate sure demand for 8300,000.000 worth of iron. Besides which, many other railways will be charioted and undertaken every year, to keep up a steady demand to that amount for many yeata to come; if not a constantly increasing amount. With the high price of iron abroad and the demand at home, the iron manufacturers have a tolerable fair prospect before them, without tho aid of legislation to help them or their business, at the expense of other in dustrial pursuits. ’ FltuiDttrr Pjxrc* arm On.

Tdk PaxsiDKirr'a Hiar.™.—The Wtahingion Star aaya Preatdeot Pierce it qaite onwell, raaloliag from | lh« unavoidable ftlif at of bia lit* tear to (he North' | THE DEBT AND CREDIT 09 THE V* I. / sobjecl of the debt'and credit of the United Slates has been extensively discussed by the press and politicians for some time past; and efforts have been made by one of oor Senators, to obtain from some of the departments of the Government, the necessary information to a proper understand' ing of this subject. The editor-of the Cincinnati Railroad Record has given qb an elaborate article, in which he classifies the debts of the country, end closes with this summary : National debt, - $65,131,693 State debts, 203.557,763 Municipal debts, 5*'70,000,000 Railroad debts, 250.000.000 Mercantile foreign debt, 150,000,000 Private domestic debt, 930,000.000 Aggregate, - $1,667,689,454 Of this debt he ternaries, the sum of about is held abroad,-’or on foreign account, i Ihe residue, making nearly twelve hundred mii-i lions, is held among the citizens of the country ! It is obvious, from this state of Tacts, that the sob | vency of the country depends on’the solvency of ( merchants and (Individuals. It is private credit which at last sustains the whole fabric. The 1 $350,000,000 of railroad bonds will be easily paid, and double as much more, if the individuals who have subscribed railroad stocks can make good, their subscriptions in cash. It is undoubtedly! true, however, that a great deal of railroad stock \ has been -subscribed on the idea that money can bo borrowed, lands sold and property realized at advance prices. A rising market, increased sup plies of gold, and a prudent conduct of business, will enable stockholders to pay their subscriptions: but it is evident that in the .extension of credits now apparent, there must be great prudence in the i conduct of business. “Make haste slowly, 1 * is an 1 ancient maxim which contains much practical , wisdom.' I' Ho also arrives at the conclusion that the enure indebtedness of the country is only about twenty per cent* on the entire value of the proportion oi the nation. Now If it is true that we only owe twenty pet cent, of the property of the country, the debt, for 60 young a people, Is not at all alarming, consld ering the wonderful development of our resources that have been made at this early stage of our ex istence as a nation. General Cass* The editor of the Indianapolis Stntiael has been 1 on a visit to General Cass, lately. Ho says: 1 \V« found him at bis old mansion in excellent health, er joying good old ago, with all tho comforts of life blooming around him. With a nation's respect esteem, be feels that it Is belter to be right than *to bo President. He lives not exactly in a log cabin, 1 bat in the same plain and substantial old brown frame | house erected on his farm soon after the war of 1812 • lo looking on this mansion, there was, however, oae i melancholy reflection. She who, for thojasl forty l years has been the life and light of that mansion— the hope, (he comfort, sod the joy of Its lord, ia no more. The old statesman is left to (read the pa'h of life with the evening shades gathering around ftim. oosostained by (hat strong band which vas his hope and prop in the morning of bis life.

Mr. Van Wagner, the “man with tho big lent," will be in town shortly when a “sensation” may be expected. He is doing great work in >he good cause, and his success exceeds his most eanguino expectations. Wo heard of a little boy in our town, who Irad saved oue dollar in the course of the year, which ho gave (o his father on condition that he would Join tho Sons of Temperance. 'This little act is worth all tho arguments that can be produced, and shows ti e spirit that is abroad through out the whole country. Steamboat Collision on the North River.—Rail road and steamboat accidents appear to bo a fatality of (he age. Not a week ptese* that we aro not call ed upon to chronicle aume now calamity, (o bo added to tlio catalogue or crime. On Saturday morning, aayi the Now York Tribune, while liio steamboat Empire wn on her downward voyage from Troy, alio was run into by a sloop, whereby one of her boiler* waa thrown overboard, probably exploding as it went, and the boat sol on firo. Tho Tiro wot quickly eubdued, but tho steam and hot water killod seven persons, and severely aoaldcd about a dozen others. Some were driven overboard, mainly thro* four. From the evidence adduced, it would appear that tho blame rest a a tone with tho navigators of the sloop. It seems that (hero was a young man at tho hdlm ■>f die sloop, who swoon (hat ho did not know star board from larboard j and thoro waa a man on the louk-oul who is behoved to have been sound asleep, and only awoke when tho hot water from tho boiler foil upon him. Pout years ago the same boat mot with a similar collision, and sank in the rivor near Newburgh. On that occasion thirty persons toil lliolr lives. Xh* pilot (now captain) waa indicted for manslaughter! but tho Case hat never coma before the court*.— Some year* earlier, the same boat ran into a pier abont twenty second street (N.

If they could bo made compen sate (ho honest and hard working operatives whom they have dofrauded aliko with tho Railroad, it would bo bol an act of justice. Such scoundrels ought to bo sent to tho Penitentiary for life, where many an . honestor roan has to go for a lesa beniouo crime. 1 On the subject of these frauds the Poltsvlllo Min ling-Register says: i The investigation of these fronds has been going jon, and sufficient progress has been made to aacer : tarn the fact, that no other operators, than the three .at firstepoben of, have had any participation in the A ‘Tcclor’* was at ono lime thrown out to the Forest Improvement Company, by tho agent through whom (hie species of business was carried on, but he met with so decided a reboff from this -Company, that bo bached out by pretending that j the Urge return sent them at (he time, was an error jin reckoning. The attempt to make this, company | participate in the plunder was never renewed. Until (no discovery of the fraud was made, It was believed that Payne and the Meitners, were enabled to sell at less price (ban their neighbors, because they carried on their extensive operotion* with su perior business tact; and though their transactions were oppressive to others, yet they yero looked up io as men of superior capacity, and as only availing themselves of legitimate advantages. But this reve- Uilon has at once changed Iho aspect of things, and they stand now revealed, as having been the scourge of the region. In addition to tho wrong inflicted on tho Reading Railroad Company, and on some purchasers of coal, these frauds have had a deleterious influence on the whole (rsdo of this region, and to an amount in value that at Aral sight would seem almost incredible. Darin? (he last four years this section has sent lo market 7,354.323 tons of coal, and if, through the under bidding, ofthese men, Iho price of coal has been reduced but five cents per ton, thev have injur* ed the trade here to the omounl of 5367.0U0, or if they cut U down to iho omoonl of ten cents-per ton, (be operators hero hove suffered to the amount of $735,000. Of course Uis impossible to arrive at (ho exact reduction that has been effected through their, but (he probability ia (hat tho largest sum dues not cover the amount, and possib'y not half the amount. A Daguerreotype of Prank Pierce.

It is the very field fur transpa rency. General Pierce is ardent in dais temperament acute in Uis sensibilities, and impulsive in bis feel ings. But discipline has made theiV subordinate to prudence. They all sprung from 4iroblo aspirations, enlarged generosity, active philnntropy and ezhaited buuor.

Most truly, your friend, dtc. Butler County. —The following are the reso lutions unanimously adopted at the recent regular meeting of the Democrats of Butler county. They aro admirable inspirit and in language, and we commend them to general perusal : Resolved, Thnt wo have the highest confidence in the honesty, patriotism and staiestnnnship ol Franklin Pierce—that we believe his solo object is to iidmimster ihe government in such a manner as \' ill redound to the honor, glory, prosperity end happiness of the whole country—that we approve ■ f the docitines and principles laid down in his Inaugural Address, and although it is not expected that the President of a great country like this can plenftn all in his selection? for office, still Ihe mur muring* of individual disappointment never min gle with or reach the masses; and thus far tho ad minlntrn'ion ol Franklin Pierce meets tho cordial approbation of the domuoratic party. Remlved, That tho able manner in which our worthy Chief Magistrate, William Bigler,has ad ministered the affairs of our good old Common wealth, convinces us that ln his integrity and statesmanship was not misplaced; and when the (lino arrives, wo will. In a proper manner, testify our high regard for his eminent services. Death or John Price Wetiikrill.—'This gen tleman died at his residence in Philadelphia, on Sunday last.

He was a frank, liberal, honest men, and has for years Justly enjoyed tho confidence and rasped of all parties. Devoted to the interests of Philadelphia, he was ever among the foremost in every enterprise that ho believed calculated to advance tho prosperity of his native city. Mr. WfiihcrlU was one of our wealthiest chitons, hie estate being estimated at some eight hundred thousand dollars. Hia death has been apparent for the last three days,and when advised of. the fact, and n disposition of his affairs sug gested, ho replied that the law made as good a I will as man in the extremity of death uould hope I to make $ Wo presume from this that the hulk of I ’ h(s property has taken a legitimate direction.—, There were some few provisions, he said, which, ha wished to make, and a will covering such, we understand, was made a few nights previous to, his death.

A Urge panther pal several men to flight, in Blair County, Pa., on Tassday night last- Soldiers of 18 IS. A meting of soldiers and others connected with the war of 1812, was held in tho County Court House in Philadelphia, on the 15th lost,, Capt. J. H. Fisher in the chair; Peter Hay and Andrew Morrison, Vico Presidents, end John H. Frick, Secretary.— After an interesting and eloquent address from Judge Sutherland,comprising anaccountof (he proceedings of the Convention of the Soldiers of tho War of 1813, held at Now York, on the 4th ins.., tho following resolutions wore unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we learn with much pleasure that tho Convention of officers and soldiers of the war of 1813, which assembled at Now York on tho 4th of July, have resolved to participate in the National Convention, to bo held at Philadelphia on tho Bth ot January, 1854. Resolved, That from iho pledges already received from other States, it is the' opinion ot this meeting that the Convention of the Bih of January next will bo ono oftlio largest and most respectable ever held in this city. Resolved, That with a view to ascertain tho whole nombor of persons in Pennsylvania, Who served In the war bf 1813; it is recommended (hat meeting bo held for that purpose in Iho several cuunifea ol this Stale, during the session of their courts prior to the Bih of January next, and that delegates be elected •i said meetings, to represent (bom in the National Convention. Resolved, That ills important that every soldier who served in tho war o('1813. in any of the Slates of tho Union, should obtain from Ills captain or oth er surviving officer, a ertificato uf his service, io order that he or hie heirs may bo io possession of satisfactory proof of hia indontity. Besotted, That those who served on ship-board and ttio sons ofthnso who served on land or sea, as well os those who wero imprisoned at Tripoli, be entitled to seals io the National Convention, and that they also be requested tu obtain certificates of identity.

Resolved, That the several newspapers of ibis Slate be requested to copy tho foregoing proceedings and that the editors of newspapers throughout the Union will oblige the meeting by calling attention, to the Convention on tho 6th of January next. LATER FROM EUROPE. The Franklin arrived at New York, on Tuesday morning last, with four days later oowa from Europe. The probability of a war increases in Europe. The passage of the Moldavian frontier by Russian troops, has beyond doubt, actually taken place, and the manifesto of(he Czar to the Russian people, indicates a disposition on his part to commence a crusade against Turkey. On the other hand there is no reason lo suppose that the orders given to tbe Eng lish and French fleets to pass tbe Dardanneltes and go up to the Bosphorus when ordered by the Am bassadors of those nations, have been rccinded. Wo may then conclude that these hostile steps have al ready been taken on both sides, and th at so far w >r has beguo. But if is by no means sure that it will go further at present. tilth (he Russians in (he Principalities and tbe Allies at Constantinople, nego tiating is pretty certain to be resorted to again.— How lung (hose negotiations will be protracted it ia impossible to soy, or what will bo their precise tip. shot. We loam, however,that the Democratic lead ers in Europe, Kossuth and Mazzina, do nut expect any immediate pursuance of hostilities. They re gard war as ultimately certain, or ut least as highly probable, but not si likely to begin before next spring. In forming this opinion they have access to good sources of information, and wo shall soon now bo able to judge positively of its correctness. By the Europa, si Halifax, we have three days’ later intelligence. The news is not important. There had been interpellations in the British Parliament as lo Turkish nfftirs, but the Ministers evaded any sat isfactory statements. The French Government had drawn np a note in reply to Nesselrode, expressing the hope that Russia would adjust her claims wllli, out trespassing Upon Urn rights ol Turkey. IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
