It forms a fine tract of the best Coal as well os Fanning Land, and the property in the vicinity is selling much higher. It is principally bought up by coal companies.

The Public Ledger crod Ha the rumor, and-cautions the public lo have nothing to do with the notes of this bank For our part wc never hnd confidence in the Warren County Bank, and felt convinced that its object from the first was to swindle the people.

That being their annual rcii'-w and in spection day, the ‘Quitman Guards.” under the command of Capt. John Messinof.r, num bering about 30 men. were upon parade. Their soldier-like deportment and correct conduct, together with their neat uniforms, won for them the admiration and respect of all who witnessed their military evolutions. The com pany was inspected by Col. Samuei. Crop, our efficient Brigade Inspector, and wo hear that he pronounced the arms and accoutrements of the men as being in the beat of order. Capt. flics singer isn gentlemen and a soldier, and his company, the Quifnum Guards, one of the handsomest and best drilled in the county. It is aald that the company 5s steadily malting fresh accessions to its ranks. “Long may it wave." Wo were surprised on Saturday last to liml the old'Carlislc Light Infantry having so few men in iU ranks.

Very true, neighbor We that wo brer hodtlip fear of any one before our oyco when writing.for our paper. It is about tlmb, wo think, the American should ccaso dealing in such miserable twaddle as is contained in the above extract. There is neither wit nor tense in it, and.iS-unworthy the character of even n Know-Nothing paper. - ‘ , INVITED TO A BUZZARD FEAST. Know-Nothing editors, if thdjr Can boast of no other qualities, can at least V brag ” on bo ihg‘possessed of a good stock bf impudence.— The appeal? they, arq npw ranking to -tlie old 1 line Wliigs for hid, is fig amusing as itighedirt less and impudent. - Biit a fewf months sirico, 1 Sfm was m his glory, and ln hia }n. 1 tercst were kept busy chronicling Know-Noth ing victories. Tho character of this desperate 1 faction and the objects of its leaders had not 1 been divulged, and the people, for a short time, *, were induced to put faith In Sam and his min ions. But in every State and every county whereKnow-Nolhingism has been tried, it has ‘ been condemned and repudiated. Sam's viclo- ’ nous legions have been routed on every field, of late, nnd (ho democracy of tho country —for a | lime under-a cloud —arc again in the ascendant, and in most of the Stales arc stronger than ever, j That the old line few patriotic men, tho relics of a onco powerful parly, and who could not bo induced to join in a crusade against the Constitution of their country—that the old line Whigs, we say, have contributed, in many instances, to aid the Democratic party, and thus crush out the fell spirit ofbigotry and intolerance, is well known and gratefully ac-1 Unowledgcd. I Because the old line Whiga have pursued this course—because, feeling themselves as a party helpless nnd powerless—they have aided the Democratic party rather than Know-Noth ingism, they are abused and flattered in turns ’ by tho papers of the Know-Nothing party. We have two papers of that faction now before us. Number one contains a most violent attack up on the old line Whigs, stigmatizing them “ traitors, n “ renegades,” “apostates,” Ac. Number two contains a whining leader, nnd the editor mu.it have had tears in bis eyes when he wrote the article. He appeals to theold line j Whigs for aid—and reminds them that one of their number is on the “ Union State Ticket,”-j and must receive the Know-Nothing and Abo- [ hlion vole if he desires to make a show for an | ik-clion. He coaxes and flatters and whimpers ! like a school boy about lo receive a thrashing. Bui, mil the old line Wliigs heed these threats and appeals ? We opine not. These men mil , have no candidates of iheir own lo vote for I his 1 fall, and have a perfect right lo support who’ they please, and certainly they have 100 much grit and pride of character lo vole for the men , who murdered the Whig parly. They mil not.

Wo visited this spot a few days "eincc, and were pleased to'phservo the increasing attention which the living pay tp the resting places bf the dead. This is pot only jdgbt and proper, but la highly commendable, qnd evinces the good tiistp and ; filial love of Ahosewho and pVo sorye the graves of their‘anbostorsv. of'our citizens have erected upon life graves of their kindred splendid monuments, handsome tombs, and head and foot-stones,&c.; others have had vaults made to contain the re mains of theii dead, nnd others again have had their family lots enclosed by fences, a goodly number of which are beautiful patterns of Iron Railing. Besides this, our worthy Chief Bur gess, Col. Aimsi iionq Noble, has hnd planted, at his own expense, a Urge number of ornamcn , tal shade trees in the Cemetery and in tho lane leading thereto, which in a few years will rou j dcr that “ City 0 f the Dead” a very beautiful 1 and handsome burial place. A great variety of shrubbery, flowers, native and exotic, have also been planted on and near tho graves of the dead. This is Indeed a touching and pious ex hibition ofthat filial nfibetion which a child owes to tho memory of a deceased parent. We hope our borough authorities will be very prompt in enforcing the ordinances against all rude de spoilers who break or roar tho beautiful orna ments which have been placed In that sacred spot where .‘the forefathers of tho hamlet sleep.’ Among (ho graves that we noticed, were some which contained tho mortal remains of many eminont men, who, in their day and gen eration, had been distinguished in tho various departments of law, medicine and theology, and of those who had served their country during the' stormy period of the Revolution. The mon uments of flreckcnridgo, ofDuncau and who served thtfir native State on Iho bench of its Supreme Court, wcrolhere; of Hamilton and Reed, distinguished as Judges, were also there; j and there, too, repose the remains of Davidson, ; Nesbitt, .Woodruff, Andrews, Mayberry, and I Johnson, learned and pious Divines, and of Mc [ Crosby, Crulgh, Foulke, Foster and others, who 1 were celebrated In their day as eminent mem- bers of the medical profession. Wo hopu -our citizens u ill continue (ho good work of dynimieuling and pivsoiving the graves of their fitthers nnd kindred, as it is truly a work of filial nfl«c(lon, nnd denotes the progress of a really Christian civilization. _ Tut Vut or \ck. —The French doctors • aThe steamer hmp,re (,ty arrived at bear Ua* &..ov,mel lUi ice is aafer and better to U,l.a M onlVnln t «U,.,ll,Wo week « l>'cr UK in au,g«l operation, than chloroform.- inldligcnce from California, and later Hj- the apptical.on’ of ponndtd ice and cm’. iitn« Iroin ( entral America.

Dallas, a& minister to England which,‘at the time of the appointment, struck every 1 niind, and called forth n universal ,ex pression of Cordial approbation. ; -Those vVho had admired the sterling independence of char acter and fearlessness of purpose which marked liis conduct'* on 'a well known trying crisis whilst he was Vice President of the United States,Could not withhold the indulgence of the hope that a similar exhibition of those high at tributes of statesmanship in London would con tribute to an early and satisfactory arrange ment of our pending difficulties with Great Britain. There arc but few men who would have cared to succeed so. distinguished a pro-, deccssor, and with so unpromising a legacy of diplomatic difficulties and. embarrassments as greeted Mr. Dallas on his arrival at bis post. He, however, had proved himself a man of nerve, and capable of meeting responsibilities. He therefore accepted the embarrassing position as a matter of high patriotic duty, ami deter mined to represent his government faithfully ond ; zealously, hoping tlmt'his mission might not prove less beneficial and honorable to his coun try than that of his illustrious predecessor. It will afford general satisfaction to know that Mr. Dallas has already made an impression on the English people which is honorable alike to himself and to his country. The following ex tract from the London correspondence of tho New York Herald of April 25 will be read with interest by every American : “The Times was compelled by this demon stration to come out and praise Mr. Dallas’ad mirable speech to the skies, and its lone is completely altered since the public have read it. No American minister to England ever made.a greater hit, for in a few sententious phrases lie demonstrated that no impediment stood in- the way of a pacific arrangement, if some -inexor able Stale policy’did not seek another solu tion. He struck the nail on the head, mid the eye of this country is vigilantly directed to the measures of the government. In short, there is no mistaking the sentiments of tho English people towards us, for since Mr. Dallas’ happy debut at the ‘Mansion House’ dinner he lias been rtm down by calls and invitations from tho highest in the land, which his arduous du ties at tho present Juncture force him to de cline. He is quite the topic of conversation, ntul anecdotes of nil sorts nre circulating about him. One is worth relating : many years ago Mr. Dallas was m England, ns secretary to Mr. Gallatin. He called on his relative, the illus trious poet, Byron, who received him with great warmth. For some reason or other, Lord Byron did not return the culls of young Dallas, whose Yankee blood was roused by this nyglect. aud he slopped his visits to his lorcl ship. One day. meeting a mutual friend. By ron inquired, ‘Well, what has become of that republican George? I never see him now.*— •Why,* was the answer.'the expression your lordship has,applied to him may explain the reason of lusdisappeanincc.-’ The poet ivllccl ed a moment, then exclaimed; ‘He is right.— I honor his democratic pride. I will call on him to niojfow.” He did so, and always treated young ‘Republican George* with the greatest cordiality thereafter. He gave him the ‘Corsair* to read in manuscript, and was de lighted to bear him say ‘that,ten would read it in the Cpilcd Stalks to one in England, from the superior education of the people.* " Singular Freak, ok a Girl. —The Pitts burg Chronicle says: A young German girl who resides with Mrs. Alego. on the bank of the Ohio river, alfout three miles belo\y the city, disappeared, suddenly In the following singular manner. On last Friday at noon when tho farm laborer came to his dinner, Mrs. Ale go requested the young girl tobring a bucket of water from the river. As she passed out of the house, she picked up a hatchet left by the farm hand at the door, and took it with her Remaining away su long. Mrs. Alego became alarmed about her, and began to make search about her whejeaboula. She learned from a man in the employ of a neighbor, that he had seen her on a flat boat, which was lud to the .short; below. On examining Ihe spot, they found her shoes and stock mgs lying on the bank, and discovered that she hod cut the ca ble attached to the boat with the hatchet. The cut rent being very swift, the tlaUboal and its occupant were swept away with railroad speed. Nothing had been heatd of the girl up to Mon day.

It wUI prove grati fying to the farmers of the.,country to. know that tlolp,[gnat interest is ever under the watchful eye of iho government and that every clhrt will bc'iradoiio gdva'jco it., ,As .an in-,- stance of this guardian care it may be.'iuontion ed 1ha1,210.000 extra copies of the Agricultur al Kepprt for lias been ordered by Con gress. This ( rcport is unusually full and mlcr cs'.ing. It has been prepared with great care, and I congratulate the farmers that so. much valuable information is to be thus widely dis seminated. The appropriation for,the Depart ment this session will be 5C0.,000. In a former letter T spoke' favorably of the arrangements of the Philadelphia* Wilmington and Baltimore, and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad companies. At juncture, in view of the commencing summer travel, X think I shall be doing; n favor to the travelling public by adding tllal rhavcsubsequently learned that these companies, in connection with the West* ern roads. Imre established an office, in New York for the sale of through tickets and check ing baggage, via Baltimore, to ‘Wheeling, Col umbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago. St. Louis, and all principal cities and towns West and South west. Tickets for,the ‘same places may also be obtained at the depot of. tbc first named company in Philadelphia. I understand that the fare is Use same as by other routes and that inducements to visit this city are ollercd by the small additional charge upon the through rale. This is a matter of some consideration to passengers whose curiosity or business might lead them to visit the federal city. The route is brcomjpg a great favorite with the traveling public who speak in terms of earnest' commendation of the beautiful and romantic scenery (the route passing through Harper’s Ferry and over thy Alleghanics) Inc excellence of the roads, the politeness, care and attention of those having charge of the trains, and the rapid speed with which, they arc carried, the distance being run os quickly,ns by any other rpute—ami perhaps with more heganX to com-, fold and Safely. ■, The reception of Mri Buchanan in this cjly has been in'entire consonance, with the feelings of a truly great man. (Satisfied with the spon taneous oValion of warm and generous hearts, he.preferred’ an .individual lo.a public demon stration, and his .wishes were gratified. He wns'welciWcd ,at .the depot by a host of enthu siastic friends' and then pibcecdcd to liis hotel ns quietly and with as little display as on ordi nary private individual. His prospects are brightening every duv and it will require no weiid sisters to predict the glorious Hereafter of the Democracy of the country while it claims such standard bearers as James Buchanan. The Tariff question will come up in a few days. It is nthv under .consideration in the Committee of Ways and MoaiiSj with’ a prb-s pect that Senator James excellent hill will be the basis of the Committee's report.

There is also tin important declaration’ of maritime law, viz : abolishing privateering and providing that neutral Hags, make neutral car goes, except contraband articles, with'the nil* dition that neutral goods under the enemy's flag are exempt from capture. The city of Prome, in the Burncso empire, was utterly destroyed by Arc on the 28ih of February. In less than four hours tho entire' town was consumed, and now nothing but ruins arc to be seen. A supplement to the London Gazette Extra* ordinar/contalns h very long Proclamation, announcing that,'' pic llafificalions of'lVadc' having been duly exchanged between Great Britain, her Allies, and the Emperor of Russia, peace is declared.
