To attain high speeds heavy and powerful locomotives must be used, and additional safe guards are required to compensate the in creased risk involved. The destructive effects of these heavy machines, moving at high ve locities, can be readily appreciated by any one, and it is therefore a matter of surprise that railway managers should presist in this prac tice. This Company cannot, however, reduce the speed of its trains, or advance its through rates and retain its customers, while its chief competitors continue to insist upon an adverse policy. The earnings of the canals owned by the Company, for the year 1859, were: From the Eastern Division, 8152,871 23 Juniata Divisions, 26,824 49 Western Divisions, 15,514 04 From miscellaneous receipts, 2,339 62 §197,549 38 The expenses of maintaining the canal for the same period were as follows: For repairs, renewals and enlarge ment, §140,105 07 For superintendence, collectors, lock tenders, weiglunasters, sta tionery, &c., 35,347 31 8175,452 38 Leaving net earningsof thecanals, 822,097 62 The increase in the canal revenues over ISSB was $18,449 30, and the increased ex penditures were §51,394 07, embracing the Bum of 824,394 79 expended in ihe re-erection of a bridge over the Susquehanna river at Clark's Ferry, which had been blown down by a severe storm, and Iso an expenditure of about 88000, incurred for steam towage, ren dered necessary in consequence of the destruc tion of the bridge. The remaining portion of the increase of expenses was incurred in deep ening and enlarging the capacity of the Eas tern Division of the Canal. The amount of coal transported on the Ca nals of the Company during the year 1859 was 8-515,366 tons, being an increase over the preceeding year of 104,634 tons, and the amount of lumber transported was increased from 95,770,4-53 feet in 1858. to 120,074.675 feet in 1859, giving an average increase of tonnage of about twenty five per cent. The gross revenue of the Canals was not, howev er, increased in the same ratio as the tonnage, owing to a reduction of tolls rendered neces sary in order to retain this traffic in its custo mary channel. The enlargement of the Susquehanna and Wyoming Canals, which it is understood will be effected before the opening of navigation in the ensuing spring, will so re lu ;e the cost of transportation on the whole line as to al low a rostoration of the t >!!s to their former limit. It has been the policy of this Compa ny (contrary to public expectation) to eulti rate the trade upon their canals and develope the resources of the region of country coutig uous to them, in order, if possible, to render them productive property. These Canals were received from the Com monwealth in a very dilapidated condition ; the prism of the canal being so reduced as to scarcely afford more than a depth of three feet of water throughout. The condition of these works render it impracticable for those engaged in transportation on them to contend successfully with the railways for the traffic of the country traversed, and the consequence was, at the time the Company received posses sion of them, their trade was gradually de dining. Upon the Eastern Division the depth of wa ter lias been increased to a minimum of five feet, and the other divisions of the works, where any trade of importance was to be ac conimodated, have been restored to their orig inal capacity. No portion of these Canals, except the Eastern division, (of 40 miles in length) is self-sustaining; but it is hoped that the Juniata Division, as far west as Hunting don, may ultimately be made to produce some net revenue. i management of the entire line of Ca .u'is has been placed under Thomas T. Wire man, Esq., Civil Engineer, who has conduc- j ted the affairs in this branch of the Compa- ( ny's service with commendable judgment and economy. It will be seen from the statement of the Treasurer, annexed to this report, that there has been received from Shareholders, in pay ment for the Capital Stock of the Company, up to January 1, J8G0: §13,240,123 00 And from loans, Ac., 9,307,038 32 Mortgages and Ground Rents on Real Estate. 315,479 11 Amount of bonds due the State of Pennsylvania for purchase of Main Line of Public Works, 7,300,000,00 Balance of interest and divi dends due the Stockholders, and State tax on coupons and dividends unpaid, 45,349 03 Balance to credit of Contingent 4 Pund, 400,874 23 Balance to credit of Profit and Loss, after deductingdiscount on 2d Mortgage Bonds sold during the year, 732,900 39 31,350,832 08 WHICH HAS HEEN EXTENDED AS FOLLOWS: Cost of Road, including Engin eering, Land Damages, Fen cing, Machine Shops, Engine Houses, Station and Ware houses, Car Sheds, Water Sta tions, Foremen's and Tool Houses, and Shop Machinery, between Harrisburgand Pitts burg; and Station and Ware houses on the Philadelphia Division, ' 10,904,525 1£ Less profits of road after pay ing interest to Stockholders, up to November Ist, 1855, credited to cost of construction as required by Charter, 589,185 79 10,315,339 37 Cost of Main Line of Public Works purchased from the State of Pennsylvania, 7,500,000 00 Cost of equipment of road, in eluding locomotives, Freight, Road aud Passenger ears, 2,947,473 23 Cost of real estate of the Com pany, 1,644,030 62 Cost of telegraph line, 45,204 28 Extension of Pennsylvania rail road to Steubenville & Pitts burg railroad, 5,214 09 Total cost of roads and canals belonging to the Company, 28,484,221 59 Amount of stock of the Pitts burg, Ft, Wayne and Chica go railroad company, 810,050 00 Amount of bonds of municipal and railroad corporations, 46,712 50 Amount of bills and accounts receivable, 805,134 65 Amount of sinking fund, §482,- 230 00, less this sura to be paid iu instalments of 10.000 a month from income of Road, 204,975 00 277,255 00 Amount of fuel and materials on hand for shops, repairs of locomotives, ears, and main tenance of Way, 210,549 10 Balance in hands of Agents, 209,941 91 Balance in hands of Treasurer, Dec. 31, 1859, 340,867 93 J31.336.832 68 There has been charged to construction and shipment account, fur the past year, the sunt of 8758.547 26, which has been expended in completing the second track from Pittsburgh to Lockpoit, and Johnstown, in Cambria county, to Barre, in Huntingdon county, leav ing a space of 16 5-10 miles to be filled up between Lockport and Johnstown, and of 55 9-10 between Barre and Ilarrisburg, in all 72 4-10 miles, to complete a line of double track for the entire length of your road. Otb cr portions of this expenditure have been made in extensions of the shops at Pittsburgh and Altuona; the constructions of sidings, warehouses and passenger stations on the line of the Philadelphia Division, (Philadel phia and Columbia Railroad.) and in the in crease of our car equipment; details of ail which will be found in the statement marked B, hereto appended. These expenditures have in part been nW. as well as a payment to the State of 8100,000 on account of the Main Line purchase, by an increase of the funded debt of the Company —the remainder, after providing for the pay ments due to the Sinking Fund, having been contributed from the profits of the Road. The erection of a passenger station at Pitts burgh and one at Lancaster, a warehouse at Johnstown, and the extension of the second track from Barre to Petersburg or Hunting don, as also the cost of reaching a Delaware terminus, will require an expenditure to be provided f■; in lS'tO. The praetu working of the road since the purchase of the i ladelphia Division has demonstrated the ioij ortanee of a change in the distribution of the motive power of the line, which will render necessary the enlarge inent of the accommodations for it at Harris burg, and throw out of use the intermediate shops. It is estimated by the General Super intendent that the cost resulting from such in arrangement (and by which the road cm be operated in three divisions) would be iully Covered by the saving effected in the motive power and transportation departments in a single year. The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad Company, which from time to time received pecuniary aid from this Company, has been in operation fr >m Pittsburgh to Chi cago during the entire year 1859. Its increas ed revenues during the period, over those of the preceding vcar, \ in it we <• nsi-lor Co depressed condition of the trade of the north west, should be deemed quite satisfactory. Had the older portion of the road and ma chinery been maintained in good, effective condition, the net results upon that road would have been sueii as to restore confidence in the enterprise. The heavy expenditures on these accounts, however, left but a small amount to be applied to the liquidation of the float ing debt, and to meet the advances required for the extension of the line. This floating debt consisted chiefly of the aggregate of that of the three Companies composing the consolidated line, which at the time of consolidation was much larger than prudence justitied. It was carried mainly by hypothecation of its bonds. The protection of these bonds from sacrifice has been the chief difficulty encountered in arranging the indebtedness of that Company. Under the belief that the floating debt creditors received toe much consideration from the Directors, to the injury of the mortgage bondholders, the latter applied to the United States District Court for the appointment of a Receiver. This proceeding was concurred in bv the .rdof Directors, altera change in the cilicer was agreed upon, and the decree of the Court so arranged as to equitably pro tect all the interests involved. This decree of the Court protects, as far as practicable, the interests of the Pennsylvania Kcnr i ! Company, while it relieves the workiug of the road from vexatious in;crrupti us from its creditors. It has been the policy of yeur Board to seek an increase of traffic by securing freight destined to any pert of the world, in all cases when they believed they could adu to the pro iits of the shareholders, while they have, with equal care, sought to protect the manufactur ing and commercial interests of Philadelphia, whose means have been so liberally embark ed in the enterprise, by such differences in her favor in the rates of freight, as were due to the shorter distance it was to be transpor ted to and from the west. More than this could scarcely be a-ked of this Company, and more, if demanded, would not be permitted by the competing liues of transportation between the east and the west. During the past year the New \ ork Central Railroad Company, in an unreasonable (if sincere) effort to bring the rates to and from New York to the same lev el with those of Philadelphia and Baltimore, sacrificed hundreds of thousands of dollars to herself and rivals, without attaining her ob ject, beyond temporarily destroying the uni fortuity of these differences in rates. It is with feelings of regret that the Board have to record the decease, during the past year, of Benjamin T. Curtis, Esq., elected a Director to represent the interests of the city of Philadelphia. Always prompt, courteous and affable in the performance of his duties, he won tor himself the confidence and esteem of his colleagues. Your Board of Directors refer you to the accompanying report of the Geueral Super intendent, and to those at the heads of other departments of the company's service, as con taining much valuable detailed information— quite too voluminous to be embodied in this report. In conclusion, it is with great pleasure that , the Directors record their appreciation of the skill, zeal, and fidelity of the officers to whom the details of the management of the road and canals is more immediately confided. !

The People's State Convention Will assemble at Harrisburg on Tuesday next, 'JIM instant for the purpose of nomin ating a candidate for Governor, Ac. it is to bo hoped that "from among the candi dates presented they will select one for that office who has something more to recom mend him than being a mere politician. Honesty, integrity, and other such traits are quite as essential as a knowledge of po litical economy, and ought in fact to be the rule, instead of , as is too often the case, be ing t; • exception in selecting public officers. Considerable discussion lias taken place as to the propriety of selecting delegates to the National Convention by this body, ma ny contending that it ought to be done by districts : but for our part we can see 110 objection to the convention making the se lection, and thus presenting a united dele gation in that convention. Proceedings of Congress. In the formation of committees, Speaker Pennington lias proved himself to be bold and liberal. Pennsylvania will be well cared lor by the Committee of Ways and Means, Mr. Sherman being warmly in fa vor of such protection to her interests as will be permanent, and the majority of the committee entertain opinions in sympathy with him. Mr. < • iliuer of North Carolina, goes to the head of Committe on Elections, one of the most important in the whole list ; Mr. Etheridgo, of Tennessee, on In dian Affairs, another leading committee. Hickman, as chairman of the Judiciary; Corwin, as chairman of the Committee on Foreign llelations ; Millward, of Pennsyl vania, on Patents; Colfax, of Indiana, on Post Offices and Post J loads; Crow, of Pennsylvania, on Territories; Stanton, of Ohio, on Military Affairs; are all capital se lections, and give assurance of a vigorous and practical sission. A special dispatch to the New York Tri bune of Friday last, from Washington, say.s a personal difficulty happened after the ad- journuient of the House, on that day. As Mr. Hickman was returning home through the capitol grounds, he was overtaken by Congressman Kdniondson, of Virginia, who upon approaching him called out, and drew back his hand to strike. Mr. Clinghain, who was accidentally passing, hastened up and seized his arm, when Kdniondson struck at Hickman with his left hand, knocking oil his hat, but doing him 110 injury. The whole affair was instantaneous, and surpris ed Mr. Hickman. Mr. lireckenridge, who came up, took him away, and the scene ended. The alleged provocation for this attack was a reflection upon Virginia con tained in a recent speech of Mr. I lickman's, in which he charged that seventeen men and a cow had frightened the State. It was a cowardly and low attack of Kdniond son. The House ot Representatives prompt ly passed a bill making appropriations lor the post office department, but 011 motion of Mr. Toombs of Georgia, disunion demo crat, an amendment was added abolishing the franking privilege and restoring news paper postage throughout, which will pro bably delay the passage of the bill. This man defeated the post office bill /ear, and we have no doubt is solely ai ated by a desire to embarrass the government and people so as to further the schemes of the southern traitors.

HOUSES OF ILX FAME. —Our citizens will bear us witness that even in the face of great evils we have ever endeavored to uphold the majesty of the law, in all in stances pointing to it as the proper remedy for abating nuisances; but there seem to be some eases, as all who have ever listened to a trial in our court for keeping disorderly houses, &c., will admit, in which, while no one doubts the guilt of the parties, convic tion seems almost impossible. This idea has undoubtedly pervaded the minds ot many frequenters of these places, and in more than one instance led them to injure the buildings which in their better mo ments they considered as agents in their moral degradation. A case of this kind occurred on Saturday night last, when an unknown party stoned a building across the creek and also did some injury on Third street to houses of the same charac ter. Now if it be true, as we have heat ! it stated, that one physician ha! ih [ ,es ent time thirteen cases, including a number of boys, of loathsome disease, who can wonder at such results ? It is true, it may be said they have no business at such haunts, but it is also true that property holders have no business to rent houses, either di rectly or indirectly, to those who are noto riously known as women ot ill-fame. In this respect they owe a duty to society, and especially to those who have sons and daughters, which if they fail to perform, all equitable right on their part to the sym pathy of the public ceases if their proper ty sustains injury. following is a tabular statement, as returned to the Hoard of I'evcnue Com missioners, of the amount at which all the real and personal property, offices and posts of profit, professions, trades and occupa tions, and all other matters and things made taxable by the laws of this Common wealth for all State and county purposes whatever, were valued and assessed, in Mifflin county for the past year ; S* | jr c" I ot" j Pleasure Car- i s? j ' £ 1 '*' at es Occupations, (/3> I 5 i |1 S* I 3 | Tax : riagC8 ' !

The deceased, being about to retire to her room, at Dcen s Hotel, baaing just left the supper table, accidentally fell from the top of the stairs, and so seriously injured her scull in tailing, that sue was taken up senseless and lingered in that state for about live hours, when she died. She leaves a disconsolate husband and t\\ small children to mourn her sudden and melancholy loss. The sympathy of the whole community is with them and mani fested itself by the unusual large atten dance upon her funeral. fir#~Tlie rod school house near the Poor House in Pony township, was pretty much demolished on Thursday evening last by a tree I' ■wn '.own by the storm, and which upon it.

B@Ulhe weather continues variable, pres enting degrees of cold and warmth so wide apart as tosorely puzzle the prophets.

Yesterday morning it again commenced snowing, and at the time we go to press is still falling. [For the Mr. Editor —A pie rsic concert, under the superintendence of Prof. John Clark of your place, came off at the Lutheran Church in Decatur township, on Saturday last, composed of three of Prof. Clark's singing classes, viz: one from Dry Valley, one from Roush's Mills, and the Decatur class. Any lover of vocal music, 1 care not how critical, could not but almire the exercises on the occasion of the concert. It was one of the most successful and pleasing entertainments it has ever been my fortune to attend, reflecting credit alike upon teacher and pupils, and if I may judge from the pleasant phyxiogx of the visitors, rendered more general satisfaction than exhi bitions of musical talents generally do. Long will the people of Decatur remember the gala day of the 11th February, arid gladly will they greet the return of Prof. Clark with another winter's debut. Decatur township can boast of rapid progress in all the arts and sciences of the day, and feels herself the equal if not the superior of her sister town ships in point of handsome girls and gallant beaux. Her people at large are plain, hardy and intelligent, In spitable, generous and kind, never shrinking from, hut ever ready for the responsibilities incumbent upon all intelligent and Christian communities. Any community seeuiing the services of Prof. Clark will have nothing to regret, and any citizen visiting Decatur will find no cause of complaint.
