Aletlor from Copenhagen, April 27th,
states that Sir Charles Napier, with the
line-of-baitlo ships undor Admiral Corvoy
and Chads were keeping up a rigorous
blockade of tho Gulf of Finland, which
would render tho oscapo or a single Rus
sian ship impossible. Numerous prizes
had been taken. The Danish government
lingers on the side of Russia. The swedes
are decidedly in favor of tho allies. One
Swedish line-of-batllo ship, nnd four frig

and more were being made ready.
A most formidable force of row boats
fi being organized by the Russians to

amused or annoyed in this metropolis or
idleness. However an unusual tumult in
the streets proclaimed something of impor
tance, and it soon appeared that ihcro was
a sediment of truth, after wiping away the
froth of Oriental exaggeration. The eas
tern and southern parts of Asia Minor aro
the patrimony of wandering tribes, who to
a fierce?. Mussulman spirit unite a strong
feelingof independer.ee, and who aro al
ways ready to contest the authority of the 1
Sultan, except when it is in real danger.

and it is only on occasions like the present i
that tho name of the Prophet or tho love

with civilized man. One of tho tribes,
said to be capable of furnishing 4000

the word “Futima.” Their home is in

or prophetess, for she is endowed with su
pernatural attributes, is a little dark old
woman of about 00, with nothing oi the

a wooden club or mace, which he swings

SALE OK TIU) PUBLIC WORKS.
Wo linvo of Into possessed ourselves of some ad
ditional information on this subject, and learned
moro of tho details of tho’ proposition to sell.—
As a niero fiinancial measure we are now con
vinced that it were good policy to to sell at tho
present timo for the best prico that can bo ob.
tained for the same. If but ten millions wore
received, it will bo perceived that six per cent, in
terest on the tame, and that is the rate of interest |
imposed on tho purchaser—is equal to six millions j
of dollars per annum of net revenue. Tho
mated revenue for tho present year does not ex-.
ceod half thnt sum. The revenue from tho public
works lust year was about half that amount. \But
1 besido the prico to bo received, tho present nppro
' priation bill contains over $1,000,000 to now work,
which will be saved should tho sale take plnco.-
On this point tho Governor, as wo learn, is well
satisfied with the proposition to to sell ; indeed any
one can readily perceive that it will require three
or four years to get back in net revenue, the
amount to bo expended this season iu extraordi
nary repairs and now work, should no sulo occur.
The expectation thou that Governor Biglor would
interfere was not a reasonable one. Tho represen
tatives of the people, by about a two-third voto In
both branches of tho Legislature having nccedcd
in favor of selling, and a minority of tho Canal
Commissioners, tho very agents to whom the peo
plo hove confided this branch of tho public affairs,
having officially, by a communication to tho llouso
of Heprosentotives, endorsod this policy, tho Intor
feronco of tho Executive against tho measure, ox
copt for reasons connected with tho dotails of the
proposition, would havo been to Bay tho least of ib
an unwarranted, if not a v'bry arbitrary oxeroiso ofj
his perogptive. Governor Bigler it is trutS)
has used tho voto power with freedom, but always
with marked discretion, and henco ho has been
uniformly sustainod by tho representatives of tho
pooplo, offocting many valuable and salutnry ro
forms through its instrumentality. Wo trust that
tho luster of thoso monsuros may novor bo soiled
)by tho nbuso of the voto power to which somo
would fnin drivo him.
On tho abstract question of selling tho public
works it should bo remomborod that somo years
sinoo this proposition was submitted to tho pooplo,
and that tlioy ondorsod tho policy of soiling by a
very largo vote. Thoso who think tho moasuro of
partisan character, and that therefore tho Governor
should havo intorfored, Ehould look at tho voto
6f tho counties whoso representatives votod for a
gale. They will discover that tho largest portion
of qbo most reliable domocrnUo counties m thfr
Stam'ifavored tlio epic; for instunco, Northampton,
MonVoo, Piko, Wayno, Susquolianna, Lihigh, Car
bon, Schuylkill, Northumberland, Contro, York,
Berks, Montgomery, Westmoreland, Fayotto, Groon
Washington, Bodford, and Wnrron, havo all de
l clarod in favor of a salo.
Tho construction of thoso works at tho timo thoy
wore undertaken, was both wiso and nocossary. It
then required tho associated powor, moans, and
crodit of tho State to break through tho wildornoßs
with thoso mighty avonuos, but that necessity no
longor odists. Individual ontorprizo with which
tho State cannot compote, 1b assiduously Booking to
orabraco ovory favorable sohom'o, and it would
therefore probably bo well to havo tho State sopo
rntod from what nil mUBt regard ns as an illogitl-1
mate business for a Government to bo engagoil in,
j As to tho dangpr of giving those improvements
j into tho hands of a company, undor tho'stflngont
provisions of tho'bill 'providing for tho salo wo
[ have now none. Companies though sometimes in-
J flucnttnl in tlio Legislature, have no powor over tho
mass of the people; but it is qt>Ho too loto to ob
ject to tho existence of such corporations when our
Stuto is stripod and Btrookcd nil over with similar
orios nnd their works. Tho idoa tlmt tho
constructed her public works to preserve her liber
ties is too far drawn. If tho possession of suol.
improvements bo ossontinl to tho maintenance of
tho rights of tho pooplo, tlion nil tho Statos in tho
' Union except four hnvo noglootod this important
duty, for wo boliovo tlioro aro but four that own nnd
diroot public improvomonts, nnd tlioy are, so far ns
wo can SCO, no more free, nor democratic tlmn
than many of tho others.
CONGRESSIONAL,
Nothing of moment has transpired in tho Sonnto
for the last fortnight. Our present relations with
Spain, arising from transactions at Cuba, is made
tho sulijoct of occasional discussion and inquiry,
while tho Presidents veto of tho hill grunting 10,-
onn.oun of acres of tho public lands for the benefit
of tiio insnne of tho several States, is the chief to
phi of debate. If tlio rumor that Spain has poreiu
etorily refused tho domnnd for satisfaction for tho
Hlnek Warrior outrago, turns out to be true, a mos
sngo from tho President is anticipated, nnd prompt
action thereon on tho part of tho Senate.
The House was still debating tho Nebraska ques
tion at our last duteß, in ono hour speeches, for
which purposo they were liulding ovening sessions.
On Friday night, the 12tlr inst., at 12 o’clock, they
adjourned after a session of 30 hours—all'of which
tiino was spent in taking tho yeas and nnys on mo
tion to adjourn, Ac.—which adjournment tho ad
vocates of tho hill resisted, and its opponents op
posed ; nnd tho adjournment was only effcctod on
the motion of Col. lliclinrdsotr, tho mover of tlio
bill, after ho was solicited to do by the opposi
tion, with tlio intimation that if they had ail oppor
tunity to consult togethor they might bo able to
collie to terms. Tho llouso met nguin on Saturday,
hut upon tho scenes of tho previous day being re
newed, tho mujurity ugain moved an adjournment.
Oil Monday evening, tho friends of the bill had a
caucus, and whon tho Hoilso met they olTercd a
resolution to closo tho dobnto on Saturday, anil to
postpono tlio special order—tho Pacific railroad
!,il! —which was to como lip on tho lioxt day.
This was stubbornly resisted by a large mujority
of tho opposition, though some half dozen ol them,
and among the nninbor wo are glad to soo tho naino
of James Uaiublp of Lycoming, voted with tho ma
jority, and carried it by more than two thirds. It
was during this strugglo that an angry altercntiou
took pluco between llurst of Louisianna, an Anti-
N'cbruska whig, and Craig, of North Carolinn, a
Nebraska Democrat, which waaWewod agnin on
Tuesday, whon, after Hurst had mado some remarks
Craig replied "that tho gcntlomcn Bhould not bo
allowod to strut luto a scrapo and snoak out of it
in that way." Tho sovority of this remark cun be
bettor comprehended whon it is understood that
Hurst is a practical duollist —having fought sever
al, and having filled tho mcasuro of tho duollist s
glory, by having "killed his man." Hut it was
thought that no hostilo moeting would tako plnco.
It was generally supposed that tho quostion
would bo taken up on lust Saturday, although i t is not
improbablo that tho factious spirit of tho minority
may have again urged thorn to further resistance,
in obodioncp to tho ndyico of Grooly and liis band
of traitors, to burn tlovn the Capitol ratlior than al

AN HONEST CONFESSION.
It is right tho people should know what
shape the Gubernatorial contest in this.
State is taking. Wo some weeks ago re
marked that the Temperance vote had
crown to bo largo and respectable, and
therefore both, tho political parties of the
country would ‘fish’ for it. The honest
and sincere temperance men do not mean
to have their organisation become an tip. ;
pendago to any political party, pnd feel
that they have a higher and nobler object
in view than the attainment of political
power. They, doubtless net from princi
ple, but in every organization there are .
men who seek tho leadership from motives
ot policy: and tho Temperance men must
look out for these, and mark them—if they
wish to "maintain the integrity and good
character of their party.

The Loss of the Ereolnno
Il was in tho night from the 24th to the
25th ult., in the waters between Nice and
Antibes, that the Sicilia and the Ereola-i
no came into having at the |
lime all their steam up. It was mid-i
niglit; there was a heavy sea, and, the;
weather was dark and rainy. In less than |
10 minutes the Ercolano, in tho hull of
which tho Sicilia had made a largo open
ing, sank. The Sicilia received but slight
injury. The four boats of tho Sicilia,
which were launched immediately, saved i
ns many of those who were swimming os |
could bo heard. Of all tho woman on j
board the Ercolano, only one was saved—
Ambrusano, a chnmbermaid. She was
upon deck. Sir Robert Peel was saved by
a miracle; his secretary and two servants
perished. Among the persons who were
lost aro reckond 36 passengers and 12
1 sailors. A sailor and a passenger, who
! had been clinging to one of the fragments
■ of the Ercolano, were picked up in the wa
ersof Nice by a barque. — Cour. Mer.
Pater from Wood.— -At the last sitting j
of the Socjete d’Encourngement pour I’ln
dustrie Nntionale, of Pnris a paper was
rend setting forth a plan for making paper
from wood. The bark is taken off the wood
and tho wood cut in such a way as to be
easily made into shavings, tho shavings,
are then cut very thin; next they arepla-j
ced in wnter for six or eight days, then
dried ; afterwards they are reduced to the j
finest powder possible by means of a corn
mill. This powder is then mixed with the
rags which serve to prepare the pulp of the
paper, and tho ordinary operation of pnpor
making is proceeded to. All white woods
such ns tho poplar, tho lime, and tho wil
low, are suitable for the purpose, but tho
discoverer ascribes a good deal of his suc
cess to the quality of tho water he employ
ed, that of tho little river Dollar, which
runs near tho Mulhouse. For tho first ex
periment he employed the wood of the
' trembling poplar, and he presented tho
’ specimens of paper from it.

Slavery Existing in Nebraska. A
Idler from William Walker, chief of the I
Wyandolt tribe of Indians, formerly of|
Ohio, says that slavery exists in Nebraska j
among the whites and Indians in defiance
of the compromise of 1820. It has
in existence ever since it was organized as
an Indian Territory. True, there are not
many slaves, but still slavery exists.—
Some slaves are held by the Indians by
virtue of their.own laws and usages, and
some byjregular bills of sale from citizens
of Missouri, while the white settlers from
the latter State never hesitate to bring
slaves with them.
The editor of the Hollidnysburg Stand
ard says : “A friend informs us that a ves
sol filled with water and placed under a
fruit tree, will effectually prevent the fruit
from being killed by frost And we are
inclined to believo it, for the only cherry
tree in our garden that escaped the late j
frosts unharmed, was one standing imme
diately over a rain barrel. The remedy
is very simple dpd worthy of trial. Those
who have fruit trees should make a note
of it. - 1
POSTAGE ! POSTAGE I j
Mr. Olds says the rates of postage must ||
bo increased. We wonder if the geetle* U
man has franked to his constituents a doe- |
menls “eleven inches wide, fourteen inches 9
long and four and one-fourth inches thick, |
weighing twelve pounds avoirdupois. 1
Such a package was received by the editor §
or the Cleveland, Ohio,, Plaindealer, under ,
the frank of a member of Congress; and 1
the editor, who is also postmaster, and ■
may be presumed to know,states that cait H -
loails of such packages, enclosing the un-1
abridged Census report, bound and cased 8
in a box, are travclling/rce over the coun- jj
try. Besides these heavy affairs, there B
are great quantities of less ponderous pack-g
age °continually on their travels far and | .
wide, tq elate the pride of consUuanU I
vain of the correspondence of a M. C. for |
a little moment, and then be used for wait*
paper. . ~ I
A recent discovery made in Washing' t
ton, shows another mode in which tb? .
mails have been burdened. There were
recently discovered in iho post-office ut
Washington, thirteen hundred t
private buispess, enclosed in franks ofltwg'
members of Congress. Upon exem.natio
it appeared that these franks had bee?®
purloined and sold to the person whotjjsed
them for thirty cents a hundred. W
purloiner was a packer, who was employ*
ed by the gentleman to pack their speech* _
cs and documents; and so loosely waslM
mattor managed, that he had the opportu
nity to steal thirteen hundred envelope
without the detection of those whom M
robbed, Leaves could not be thicker t?
Valambrosa, after a hard frost, than frao?*
must have be in Washington, if they can tf
stolen in such quantities. “Tliat.s tho wef ;
money goes,” as tho old song runs; an .
as Uncle Sam is a well fonthcrc d goose, h? .
must be plucked, wo suppos; -but genu?- ;
men who use Ihe mail to such exteu ?
nothing, could with a much belter grace re
trench their own drafts on the treasury,
than attempt still further to tax_ih e P®®P ' l
No wonder tho Post Office Drpar nW
cannot sustain itself 1 But the people, H
view of such facts as the abovo, wilt
submit to any increase of postogo. .if
