Siv—l am a great admirer of an honora
ble ambition in young men to make themselves
useful and learned members of society. But,
rssily, my dear Spy, do you think that to gather
in squads of evenings, at the corners of the streets,
and around the doors of churches, &c., much ad
vances the respectability of the said young men?
Especially, too, when the whole tenor of the re
marks made in such coteries is rough and vul
gar, spiced with profanity. As I pass, with my
wife and daughters, I frequently notice a profound
silence for the moment—to be broken, directly
after we have run the gauntlet, by a coarse laugh,
and such ribaldry as "oh git," " say,
them's punkms," &c. Please think of this, and
if you should conclude it to be proper, and indi
cative of good sense, let me know.

LOUISVILLE, Kr., Aug..l.—A despatch was re

the probable election of Gen. Sterling Price, the

In the Third District, the contest is very close
between John Miller, Whig, and James S.
Greene, Dem. In the Filth District, the returns
are fasorable to the election of John S. Phelps,
Dem., over John C. Price, Whig.

The New York Herold publishes a secret
circular, which it alleges Kossuth addressed to
the Germans before leaving this country. It
contains recommendations to them to organize
associations, and to cast their votes at the com

his intervention doctrines. Kossuth, according
to the Herald, is to return to this country early
in the fall.

Destruction of the Northumber

On Thursday evening about half past 0 o'clocl,
a violent tornado suddenly passed over this plod.-
and in its course, we regret to say, swept non.

land bridge spanning the river from the island
to the Sunbury shore. The bridge now lie.
crushed in a mass of ruins, above the piers. Mr.
Krum, who resides on the Grant farm at the
eastern end of the bridge, had just driven ei
With a four horse team, and by the time 1...
reached his barn, about twenty yards distant, he
saw the whole structure raised up and hurled
into the river. Mr. James Smith who was haul

drive over the bridge to this place. Foil unate!:.
no person was on at the time. The Nomhum
berland Bridge Company have been singularl;
unfortunate. The old bridges were erected IL
1815 at a cost of $OO,OOO. In the spring of IS:lf.,
the bridge on the Northumberland side fell, and
was rebuilt about a year after, at an expense of
about $20,000. Several years after the Danville
bridge was swept off by the flood, and m- its
course, came in contact with the new Northum•
berland bridge, and earned off . all but one span.
The bridge was again rebuilt the year after.—
About four years since the old bridge or. the
Sunbury side was destroyed by the fres'Zt. and
was rebuilt the year following, and now'

The capital invested in these mills, and in :it ,

may be safely estimated at tit2oo,ooo. At the
lowest calculation, and making liberal al 10.
:ince for accidents and dram backs, these nulls
have the capacity to manufacture over 100,0001
feet of lumber rimy twenty-four bouts, or
33,500,000 feet per annum. This may sound
extravagant, both at home and abroad ; but our
estimates are based upon careful and reliable
statements—statements which will bear the
severest scrutiny. In view of the heavy supply
from this and other points on the river, parties
,interested in a decline have endeavored and are
still endeavoring to produce the impression that
a great decline must take place in prices in con
: sequence of over production. The pine lands of
Pennsylvania are now reduced to a comparatively
narrow strip, and, u n like coal lands, there are no
second and third levels to resort to, as our noble
forests disappear before the woodman's axe.—
With the increase of population, more and more
, lumber will be required every year; and so far
' liom the Pennsylvania supply ever exceeding the
Pennsylvania demand, within the next thirty
years we shall have to look to other states for a
portion of our supplies. It would be folly to ea
pert the lumber market to be always buoyant
and the highest prices always maintained. .1
prudent business man operates not for one season
but for a series of years. He anticipates fluctu
ations, and endeavors so to conduct his affairs that
the losses of one year are more than covered by
the profits of the succeeding year. The great
thing needed in the lumber region is capital.—
, With more capital, it would be impossible for the
Philadelphia or Baltimore operators ever to de
press the market to alosing point. As it is now,
the prolitsOf such of our lumbermen as have
means and credit are seriously curtailed by the
