Adjournment of Congress* The first session of the 3lst Congress termi nated on Monday at noon. It has been a long and laborious session, longer in fact than any ; previous session, having occupied ten entire j months. Beyond the great work of adjusting ; the exciting questions growing out of our late ! territorial acquisitions, and the passage of the Civil and Diplomatic appropriation hill, no tnea- I sure of commanding importance has been defi niie4y acted OR. There are, however, various i important legislative enactments attached to the | last mentioned bill, which were incorporated I into it during its last stages, and of the purport | of many of which we are unadvised. The Land ' Bounty bill—granting land bounties to soldiers ' of former wars is also an important measure, j one of the most important, in fact of the ses- i sion, from the amount of the public lands which it disposes of. Many important measures failed to receive that action from the hands of Con- j gress which the people had a right to expect, j Among them was the great subject of the de- | pressed condition ef the Manufactures of the country—that of iron especially—requiring a modification cf the Tariff; and the River and Harbor bill, the passage of which was due to the great intecesta and wants of the West hith erto not sufficiently regarded and respected by the General Government. This last bill, the .National InUlligencer thinks, would have com manded majorities in both Houses of Congress, could it have been reached in time to pass upon it. FCGITIVE SLAV* LAW.— The Fugitive Slave Bill is now in operation, and its first effects have ' been to produce considerable alarm among the colored population of this State. The slaves in confinement at Harrisburg, whose arrest created so much disturbance a few weeks ago, have been delivered up to their owners. The first case in New York was that of a young negro named James Hamlet, who was arrested by the Depu ty Marshal, and taken before theU. S. Commis sioner. Thomas J. Clark deposed that he knew him, knew that his name was James Hamlet, and that he was owned by Mrs. Mary Brown, of Baltimore, from whose service he escaped in the fall of 1848. The witness produced a certificate copy of the will of the late John G. Brown, who had bequeathed the man to his present owner. This testimony was corroborated by a J son of the claimant, and the commissioner signed the warrant for the delivery of the negro to his owner. The proceeding was summary, and the slave was not entitled to the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus. RW JOHN W. SHUGERT, well known in this section as an editor of some notoriety, is the locofoco candidate for Assembly in Venango couHty- The Union Times has a call for a loco foco meeting in New Berlin, in which the following portrait is drawn of the demo cracy : " The object of the meeting is to proclaim Pure Democracy, and to make war upon the Cameron aristocracy who by the power of their MONEY are endeavoring to brow-beat, bribe and control our County and State Conventions, and thereby stifle th'e honest expression of opinion of the great mass of the people. 1 ' KILLED. —A son of Mr. John Allen, who resides near the Tuscarora Academy, Juniata county, was killed on Wednesday of last week, by falling from an apple tree. During the heavy thunder showers last week, the barns of Mr. George Snyder, in Middlecreek, and Mr. Nogle, in Wash ington township, Unionconnty, were struck by lightning, and, with all their contents of hay, grain, &c., burned to the ground. A boy of about 14 years of age was burned to death in the latter. TALL CANDIDATES. —Judges Johnson and Wood, and the Rev. Mr. Edwards, are the whig, locofoco, and tree soil can didates for Governor of Ohio. The three met at Cleveland a short time since, and it was found that they measured nineteen feet. " Hymnody," a new word, invented we believe, to correspond with " psalmody, may be found in the Transcript of the 4th ult. We shall probably have " Comic songody" next. HP A remorseless, savage, beetle-browed husband was fined in Philadelphia, a day or two since, for putting cow-itch in his wife's stockings, before she went to a danc ing party. She became quite wild while dancing, and could scarcely keep from tearing her stockings off before the com pany. Her husband wished to break her of the practice of running to all the danc ing soirees. FROM TEXAS. —The ship Portland has arrived at New Orleans from Galveston, bringing dates to the 19th inst. By her we learn that intelligence of the passage of Mr. Pearce's Texas Boundary Rill had reached there. It is well received by the people generally. The papers assert that popular feeling is in favor ol it, and that the proposition of the United States Con gress will in all probability be accepted by the Texas Legislature. It is daily gaining strength. Texas thunder seems to be de clining* The Treadgar Iron Works at Richmond, Va. are c onducted entirely by slave labor. t icioNTOwKj Pa , Oct. 1 -The mail coach go ing East was robbed last night about 8 o'clock while artcendir- Laurel Hill. A number of trunks were taken off and rifled of their con tent*. A package containing $7OOO, addressed to Cashier Tucker, of the bank at Cumberland, was taken ; also several other packages contain ing together some $4OOO, were likewise stolen. I he trunk belonging to Mr. Lengseng, of Wheel ing, was stolen. Several other passengers lost heavily, but I have not been able to learn to what extent. The mail was not robbed as was supposed at first. The trunks have all been found, but thoroughly rifled of their contents. •No clue has yet been had to the robbers. From the New York Tribune. Do they Mean to Deceive f Every few days we meet in some oppo sition journal a paragraph of this nature : " The Manufactory has just divided ten per cent, profits for the last six months. And yet the Whigs say Manufacturers need more Protection !" " 2d* There are more Iron Works now in operation in the country than there ever were before the present Tariff was adopted, and new ones are continually going up. Yet the Whigs say the duties on Iron must be raised or our iron makers will be ruined !" Now it is quite possible that some man ufactories, enjoying rare facilities or the command of a wide and eager market for peculiar styles of goods, may be making good dividends, in spite of general depres sion and loss. It may even be true that in certain localities new Iron, Cotton, or Woollen manufactories are from time to time established, and that a gradual, tardy progress in certain branches of Manufac ture is made in defiance of the unfavorable state of trade. We firmly believe, so na tural and beneficent is the location of the manufacturer and fabricator by the side of the farmer and planter that, if no Tariff had ever existed, or all Tariffs were now to be abolished, the ways and means would in time he discovered or created of natur alizing or perfecting in our country all the arts of civilized life. Just so wc have faith that, if Steam and Railroads were to be henceforth utterly abolished, the wants or tastes they have created or developed would find some means of gratification— mankind would not consent to he sent hack to such means of travel and intercommu nication as existed a century ago. Hut that it follows that it would be wise to abolish steamships and railroads, trusting to human energy and genius for efficient substitutes, is not clear to our minds. In.this year of grace, 1850, we shall buy of Europe, iron and iron products, cotton, irnen, woollen and silken fabrics, to the amount of not less than one hundred millions of dollars. And all these goods are forced in upon us, while the free trade organs and orators are doing their best to create and diffuse the impression that man ufactures in this country arc yielding in the average large profits to those concerned in them. Now ask those who are busy in endeavoring to diffuse this impression— " Gentlemen, what profits are you realizing from your estates, your ships, your impor tations, &.C., &i c.," and they will tell you —the majority of them—" not over five per cent." " Well, gentlemen, then why don't you embark in making these fabrics at home, instead of importing or buying those of Europe ? Here is an immense demand, in a country rapidly increasing in population and capacity of consumption, while nobody apprehends that the tariff is to be changed for the worse, as respects our home interests—now if American man ufactures are so profitable as you assert, why don't you embark in them ? The laws, &.c., are as favorable to you as to any body ; you can buy two-third? of the man ufacturing establishments in the country for a good deal less than cost, or you can get up new ones with improved machinery for much less money than these have cost their owners. The country is full of ore, coal, water power, <tc., which you can have dirt cheap, if you want them, aside from the fact that many of you own these al ready. Now if manufacturing is so thrifty as you assert —if the instances of failure may r all be accounted for by bad manage ment, high salaries, &c., why don't you embark in home manufactures and prose cute them with due wisdom and economy?" Yes, why don't they ? Those who profess to be free traders own their full share of the wealth of the country ; they have an equal proportion of the ready capital and the business tal ent. If there were money to be made by manufacturing as easily as they pretend, they are the very lads that would lie into it, heels over head. And yet on this 3d day of September, 1850, they don't own one-tenth —no, nor one-twentieth—of the capital invested in manufactures through out the country ! Why don't they ? Simply because they know that the im pression they are seeking to make on the country, as to the present condition and thrift of American manufactures is a false i impression, countenanced by one case in a hundred, but disproved by ninety-nine. If this is not the reason, what is { THE POOR HOUSE FARM iXa US a Containing 100 /Veres more or less, SITUATE in Derry township, Mifflin coun ty, surveyed the sth day of May, 1774, in pursuunce of an order of survey to John Rey nolds.
