Worrell, New Tailoring Establishment; L. Herr, Prime Cider Vine gar, Segars. The Reading and Columbia Railroad. As will be seen by reference to our ad ,,ertising columns, the Commissioners are about opening books for the purpose of ob snbscriptkna to the above road.— We understand that, having received every encourag.nnent from responsible parties .Wroad, they intend organizin,g at as early a date as possiLl% and laying the project before: the citizens of Columbia., Bending, nut the two counties through which the route passes, a-king of them a liberal sub scription. The object of the road in the completion of the line of rail connecting New York with Baltimore and the South, by a direct route , avoiding the two tedious and vexatious breaks occasioned by the ferrvage of the Delaware from Camden, and the Susque hanna at Havre de Grace. By the proposed line, passengors can be carried from Jersey City to Washington City, without n single change of car or shifting of baggage. The roads forming this connection are all com pleted With the c:teeptiou of it short link onnne,iting the East-1m and Allentown Rail road with Reading, and that is in energetic hands which wilt. not let it rest until con structed. Further, the attention r•f the public bus lately been drawn, by the Philadelphia North Arwrican, to the feasability of a cen tral Southern route, reaching into Virginia and the great South and Southwest, by way of the York and Gettysburg road—the char ter of which bestows upon it the privilege of using the abandoned State road, leading South from Gettysburg—the Baltimore and Ohio road, the Winchester road, and the roads, projected and under construction. through the Shenandoah Valley and Cen tral Virginia. That the route over the South Mountain by the old State road has not de served its popular ill reputation, we think we are warranted in asserting upon reliable information. By an unfortunate error of locution, and an equally unfortunate politi cal persistence in constructing on that loca tion, an enterprise that should have brought honor upon its projectors, wealth to the cof fers of the State, and given the merchants of Philadelphia an early contsol of the Western and Southern trade, has only proved a by-word of reproach. We believe that the part of the road already graded is the only extravagantly expensive portion of the route, and that remaining, unobjectiona ble; but even should the present line prove unserviceable, a slight change is all that is necessary to put it on favorable ground.— This being once completed, we should oc cupy a prominent point on one of the great est lines of railroad travel in the country. The route from Reading to this place is nearly a straight line, running through a beautiful, pnpulaus and fertic country, and the lay of the ground is :diarist us favorable for the construction of a railroad as the plains of the Wo,t; tieing lorel, or at most, gently unaulatinA. Thoie are no foittnida blo obstacles in the wav of streams, and vre hev the Lest authority fur pronouncing it the Lest irwrlCon. in Loil.t of facility nod chcaorca- v: c.:,r.stru,tti a, to be found in our Stu te. That tho opening of a now hection of cairn try, and the bringing v, and through our town a fre.li tide of tral,el will be to its great ads antagr., we consider a fact patent to the e.mmonest comprehension. ily leg,is ,n we now have offered to us, ad vantages such as we have not onjoyod siuec i or unfortunate n0,, , ,10ct to make the Sus- Tie:l:mum au I Tide Water Canal a slack rai;gation, and it will be the fault of our citizens if thet.e opportunities aro let slip. Witii three railroad*, all of which Mlle contribute to our prosperity, and a manufacturing company, which these rail roads would iu a great measure support, all chartered, and asking assistance to become actual and existing busy enterprises, we should bestir ourselves to the end of secu ring the fruition of this promising good seed. With these roads centering in our town, it would soon stand second to none in the State in point of business facilities.— ' Wo do not say build all at once; but build ont•, and that ono will forward tho building the othare, for the interest of the whole if i not identical, are not in opposition; the bu siness of each would materially contribute to that of tho others, The city of Reading is interested in this road to nn equal extent with Columbia; we expect its friends there to urge it forward; and from those interested along the route, we anticipate an active co-operation. The I section of the country lying between Co lumbia and Reading, has Leen for the last few years eagerly asking for an outlet of this character, and it will probably never meet with a more favorable opportunity of connecting itself with the bury worla than the present. c We willingly call attention to the advertisement in to-day's paper of Messrs. Cochran h Wurnall's new Tailoring Estub lishment, No. 4, Mechanics' Row. The members of the new firm are both well known in Columbia as good workmen, and they declare their intention to spare no pains in endeavoring to establish a first CL7133 store and manufactory. There is a fair opening in our town for good enterpris ing men, who will undertake to clothe the many backs and nether limheof the Colum biana in neat and well fitting garments, and we have no doubt we here have "the right men in the right place " PATENT SHINGLE MACHIN - E.—This machine, patented by one of our citizens, and brought to perfection after a long series ofcarcful experiments, demands a few words of commendation at our hands. We do not pretend to indiscriminately praise every in ventiun that comes under our notice, while we know nothing of its principle of con struction or mode of' work. In this case beside knowing Mr. Huey to have an emi nently practical and inventive genius, from several years business connection with Lim, we hare the unanimous verdict of practical men of all pursuits, in favor of his machine, and the evidence of the work turned out by it; all of which warrants us in pronouncing this an invention that will take rank with the best labor-saving machinery, for work ing wood, in the country. It combines all the advantages of Woodworth's and Nor cross' Planing Machines, with peculiar ar rangements of saw-bench and feed; and turns ant an oven surfaced and handsomely tapered shingle, which lays one of the tight est and smoothest roofs obtainable from wooden matetial. Mr. Huey has received some voluntary testimonials in favor of his shingles from parties who have used them, and whose endorsement is equivalent to an established reputation in their neighbor hood. A machine has been in operation for the past viz months, at the Susquehanna Planing Mill, where it can be seen at any time; and although the first put up, and worked, it has convinced all who have ex amined it that this is, beyond all doubt, the most perfect patent for the purpose, ever granted. The new machines, with which Mr. Huey is now filling his orders, are I great improvements upon the old model.— ' They are framed of iron and most substan tially constructed; and so arranged that the saw-bench can be used independently of the planer. We advise all lumbermen and mechanics in need of an effective shingle ! cutting machine to examine Mr. Huey's invention, and the work it turns out. RIOT is IVASIIINGTON Cary.—Our exchang e° bring us intelligence of another of the miserable election disturbances which have become so alarmingly prevalent in our lar ger cities. In this instance the outrage was committed in our National Capital and re , milted in the killing and wounding of a number of citizens, in most instances, as usual, persons who were taking no part in the disturbances. The accounts are so,,leon dieting, each party charging the fault upon the other, that it is difficult to come to a satisfactory conclusion as to the merits of of the case. The telegraphic news first pub lished, represent the aggression to have come from a gang of rowdies from Balti more, calling themselves the "Plug Uglier,'' which interfered at the polls and drove off the Democratic voters, whereupon, the Mayor appealed to the President who gave hint authority to employ the U. S. Marines to koop the peace, and disperse the rioters, Resistance being offered and shots being fired by the desperadoes, who were in pips session of a brass cannon, which was taken from them by the Marines, the commanding officer ordered the soldiers to fire, which they did, killing some half dozen yersons, and dispersing the mob. The Americans rep resent that the employment of military was entirely unnecessary, and the destruction of life occasioned by the collision between the people and the authorities, wanton and un called for. Tho merits of the case will probably be known before we cannot but think, however, that a few more instances of prompt appeal to ball-cartridge, in cases of similar popular, rowdy, lawless, demon stration,-, would contribute levy materially to the public peace. Tne Sew Casr.—This anxiously expec ted coin has made its appearance, and is generally received with favor by the people and criticism by the press. The latter com pares the King of Birds, which hangs out on one side, to all the unclean tribes of the air, and to the ignoble feathered inhabi tants of the barn-yard, especially condemn ing it as an eagle. While admitting the drawing of the bird to be poor, and its re semblance to our bald but venerated national fowl hardly sufficient to enable future Buf fon.: to identify it with its species by exami nation of its tail feathers, we cannot think it a worse representation of our "Bird of rre.cdorn" than the familiar effigy, with the overgtowu head and stunningly striped ddrt-bosom, decorating oar quarters, and some other of our coin. The now cent is certainly a vast itnprovement on thu old "rod," nud will satisfactorily replace it, notwithstanding its many defects of finish and its peculiar jackstone rattle, in the pocket. We overheard a very seedy look ing stranger with a handful of the now issue, deliver his opinion. over a store-box, confi dentially to himself. It was concise and expressively pantomimic: "Bully!"—shov ing a number of the pennies towards an im aginary "pile" on the centre of the box— " See you and raise you five.

RAILROAD MEET/NG--Eketio/1 of Officers. --The Directors of the ••Washingtou and Maryland Line Railroad" met at the public house of Frederick Cooper, in this city yes terday, the President, John Black, in the chair, but adjourned until evening, without transacting any business. In the evening, the meeting, on motion of John Long, proceeded to the nomination and election of John C. Walton, City, for Secre tary, and JOS. Ballance, of Fulton, fur Treeaurer. Messrs. Jno. A. Sheaf! . and Jno. C. Wal ton were appointed a committee to prepare by-laws to be submitted at the next meeting. Adjourned until nine o'clock this morning. The Directors met again this morning, pursuant to adjournment, when by-laws were submitted by the committee and adop ted by the meeting, which then, on motion, adjourned to meet at the call of the Presi dent.—Express, June 2. MORE Isccivntantsia.—Qn Friday evening last the hat factory of Absalom Ruth, near Adamstown, was destroyed by fire. There was an insurance of $3,000 on the building and $1,500 on the contents, in the Northern Mutual Company, which does not cover Mr. Ruth's loss. Ten hands are thrown out of employment by this fire, which was doubt less the work of an incendiary, M... The Coroner's inquest, held on the bodies of the =en killed on the Harrisburg and Lancaster Railroad last' week, has brought to light an alarming combination of thieves, burglars, counterfeiters, swindlers, and outlaws generally, existing in our State and indeed through the whole country. A woman claiming to be the wife of one of the parties, called upon the Coroner, mak ing inquiries concerning the deceased.— From her suspicious conduct, coupled with the fact of burglar's tools having been found on the persons of the men after their death, a search of the house occupied by the woman was instituted, which resulted in the discovery of a large quantity of material for counterfeiting, together with letters and papers implicating many prominent and apparently respectable individuals in a wide-spread association, whose chief end and aim is plunder. The woman was allow ed to proceed to Philadelphia, but her bag gage was overhauled by the Coroner. We give the result from the Harrisburg Tele graph of Monday: The result was a very gratifying one; the officers succeeded in obtaining many coun terfeiting articles, -which would have been used elsewhere, implicating the woman, and giving a clue to particulars that will un doubtedly lead to the arrest of others of the gang. A vteise and several boxes were found and opined, all directed to the same individual. in one was between five and six hundred counterfeit gold dollars, not yet galvanizel, several counterfeit half and quarter dollars of an old stamp, and all the material necessary to carry on counterfeit ing on the most extensive scale. There were also in the valise a large roll of bills, announcing the arrival of "George W. Dreis bach, the celebrated horse-tamer, from Tex as," under which signature one of the par ties in question traveled, it is supposed, and succeeded in obtaining valuable information fur his accomplices. The articles aro all now in possession of the Coroner. The Coroner says ho has no doubt that the money taken from Mr. Finney at the Railroad Retch Middletown, on the evening before the death of the men killed, was upon them at the time of the accident, and was abstraeed before his arrival. We have already given the suspicious circumstances which produce this opinion. It looks very much as if there were other parties in this county leagued with the dead men in their operations, and we trust increasing efforts will be made to expose them. The envelope found was part of the identical one which is known to hare contained Mr. Finney's mo ney. It will be recollected that there was hut little gcod money obtained from their bodies by the Coroner. The information thus far obtained has revealed the existence of an organized oath-bound hand of villians, extending through all the States in the Union, and calculated to carry on opera tions on a scale unsurpassed. From Maine to Texas, its members are ranged, in man ner best calculated to aid in their schemes, and had not this most lucky dispensation occurred, we would soon have heard of ac tions unparalleled in the history of crime. Already the names of over thirty members have become known, embracing some very prominent lawyers and physicians. Their head-quarters seem to have been in North umberland county, in this State. From what has been ascertained, it is supposed the northern counties are swarm ing with them, though they do not seem to have operated much in the lower part of the State. The developments here prove, though, that we were soon to Ise as deeply inflicted as any with their rascally transac tions. The names of the men killed wore George R. Vickroy, (alias) George W. Driesbaelt, (alias) Geo. W. Douglass; and Charles Wil liams, (alias) Charles Russell, G. M. King, and other aliases. For the Columbia Spy “Quoth Madams, it is in vain.

Haven't we kept the public udder well drained? Have we allowed any foul accu mulations of filthy lucre in the hands of the State Treasurer? Have we reduced by our management the public dignity by re duction of taxes, and such other abomina ble practices? No, sir! "On the contrary quite the reverse," decidedly.

ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA Hari fitx, June 2.—The Royal Mail steam ship America, from Liverpool on Saturday, May 23d, arrived here at 11 o'clock this morning. I= The Chancellor of the Exchequer had produced a sensation in the House of Com mons by proposing that the Princess Royal should have a marriage portion of £40,000, and an allowance of £OOO a year. The reigns of George II and George 111 were adduced as precedents as to the practice in such cases. Mr. Roebuck regarded such precedents as absurd, and moved nn amendment. The members of the House, however, were impatient to vote, and after Lord John ltus sell had spoken against him, declined going to a division, and the motion was agreed to. EIZECI Advices from Madrid have been received in Paris, announcing the settlement of the dispute between Spain and Mexico, on the 10th instant. After the ratification of the treaty, Mr. Lafraqua will remain as the Mexican Minister. Another despatch says there is every probability of a pacific adjust ment of the differences between Spain and Mexico. The later despatches were said to be of a satisfactory kind, and there is little doubt that, as a favorable disposition exists on both sides, which is zealously encouraged by the English and French Ambassadors at Madrid, the affair will terminate amica bly. In that case the greater part of the troops sent out to the gulf will be kept at Cuba to strengthen the garrisons of the island. =! The Government of the Netherlands has signified its intention to send a ship of ob servation to join the Anglo-French squad rons, in the Chinese waters. , GEM On the occasion of his birthday, the Em peror of Russia issued a further amnesty in furor of political and other offenders. ESIEME A letter from Vienna states that the Em peror will not confine his measures of clem ency in favor of the Hungarians to the amnesty granted to political prisoners and refugees, but will also restore them their landed property, confiscated after the revolu tion, and administered since that period by a special commission. It is believed that the value of the landed property sequestered in Hungary amounted, in 1830, to nearly forty millions of francs. I= Trieste, May 21st.—The American Minis ter at this port left for Constantinople on the 15th, fur the Principalities. It is pre tended that his visit has a political object. =I In the treaty concluded between Persia and Russia, the latter renounces all claims to the money which Persia owes, and in return receives two pieces of land, one on the Caspian Sea, and the other in the East ern part of Russia, both of which for strat egetical reasons, are of the highest impor tance to Russia. WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.- Washinglon, June 2.—Capt. Davis, of the U. S. ship St. Mary's, in recent official despatches to the Govern ment, says it was the opinion of those who had better means of knowing than himself, that a month before they were written, Gen. Walker could at any moment have passed the enemy's lines and maintained himself in the open country. Since then the deser tions have been numerous and frequent, not only diminishing his army in number, but demoralizing it in character; that towards the end of April, the only resort left for Walker was to cut his way down to the coast and take refuge, if possible, on board the schooner Granada. According to the best intelligence, such an attempt would only have been the last effort of despair, and have terminated fatally in less than five miles from Rivas. The time, therefore had arrived for determining on the course to be pursued in the case anticipated in instruc tions received by Capt.-Davis in January last, that is, in the event of the expulsion of Walker and his forces from Nicaragua by the allied armies, and his departure to the adjacent territory in Central America, fur the purpose of hostile and aggressive opera tions. The season assigned by Capt. Davis for the seizure of the Granada, is, that the vessel had lost her nationality, was bellig e:ent, and should not, therefore, pass his guns. UTAH . AFFAIRS — ArporvrmENT..--Major 111cCullou,gh has again emphatically declined the Governorship of Utah. A selection will however, positively be made in a few days, when the vacant Judgeships of that territory will be filled, and other measures adopted with a view to the effective organization of the administrative machinery. The President has appointed Joseph A. Bright, of Indiana, Minister to Berlin, in place of Mr. Koom, recalled at his own request. Henry C. Murphy, of New York, Minister to Netherlands, vice Belmont, recalled at his own request. Wm. A. Rich ardson, of Illinois, Governor of Nebraska, vice Izard. Isaac R.

Herald, of the 30th ultimo, learns from a gentleman named Williams, who left Salt Lake on April 15th, that a great excitement prevailed at that place. Brigham Young was driving the Gentiles away from the Territory. Judge Stiles, the U. S. Marshal, the Surveyor General, and their families, together with a large number of emigrants, were leaving. AlianICAN (STAAICIIT) NOMINATIONS.— The Straight American Convention which assembled in Lancaster, on Wednesday 3d inst., made the following nominations:—For Governor, Isaac Harlehurst, of Philadel phia; for Supreme-Judges, Jacob Broom, of Philadelphia, and Jasper E.

She was taken up at Twenty-first and Ches nut streets, by officer McLaughlin, and handed by him, over to a female friend.— she gave no account of her motives for the strange conduct, and will he despatched, under care of Adams' Express, to-day, to her ''entive halls" at Columbia.

Mr. Hickman, the Pennsylvania Represen tative in Congress, and who was one of the sufferers by the epidemic at the National Hotel, was introduced at tle meeting of the Medical Society of Pennsylvania, at West chester, on Friday last, and requested to give the history of his case. Mr. Hickman said that he reached Wash ington on the occasion of the visit of Mr. Buchanan to that city, a short time before the inauguration, arriving on the same day as the President elect. He took but two meals a day, consisting of dry toast and tea, and these in the ladies' breakfast room at the National Hotel. He lodged elsewhere. lie was never at the hotel longer than half as hour at a time. He observed no atmos pheric impurity, and did not visit that por tion of the premises that was in communi cation with drains or wells. At four o'clock, A. M., he was awakened by sickness of stomach, thirst, vomiting and purging.— The pain in the bowels become acute in the course of an hour, and continued two or three days. The diarrhoea lasted three days. Ile at once ascribed his malady to the ef fects of metallic poison and caused by tak ing his meals at the National. Ile was still a sufferer. The least exposure to cold brought on diarrhoea. TUE Len or TREES.—At a recent meeting of the New York Farmers' Club the subject of trees along line fences, overhanging the grounds of a neighbor, were discussed and the following important facts elicited: Mr. Bergen wished to know if there was and law to prevent the injury of trees grow ing up on his neighbor's land and extend ing the limbs over and the roots under the fence, greatly to the injury of the neighbor's land. Mr. Lawton wished to know if there was any law to prevent a person from planting trees on his own land, quite up to the line, where the roots and shade will both he injurious. Another member wished to know who owned the fruit of overhanging limbs. Solon Robinson answered that question. It is now a well settled law, by several judicial decisions, that if a tree growing upon my land, overhangs the ground of my neighbor, the fruit belongs to me, and I may enter upon his land for the purpose of gathering it, provided I do no damage be yond what may be necessary in carefully gathering the fruit. At the same time, it is equally good law that my neighbor may cut off all overhang ing limbs, and all roots that grow in his ground; but while he permits them to grow, I am to enjoy the benefit. Judge Livinston, the chairman, confirmed this view of the case.
