NY HON. TRISTAM BURGER
With the pioneer axe what a conquest is made ;
What a field from the forest is won !
What regions reduced from wilderness shade,
Are now warmed in the beams of the sun.
From the rock where our fathers in exile first
landed,
Their clearing from river to river has spread ;
And mountains and plains by their sons are com
manded,
Till now on the beach of Pticific we tread.
What a farm for a nation to cultivate now !
And gather the wonderful harvest it yields;
'Tie an empire reduced to the sickle and the plough,
An empire of gardens, and orchards and fields.
Hail, nation of farmers ! rejoice in your toil,
And shout when your harvest is o'er;
Receive the oppressed to your land with a smile;
But Gown every foe from your iron-bound shore.
The plough and the sickle shall shine bright in glory,
When the sword and the sceptre shall crumble
iu rust;
Ar.d the farmer shall live, both in song and in story.
When Warriors and kings are forgotten in dust.
THE WIND
The wind is a bachelor,
Merry and free
He roves at his pleasure
o , er land and o'er sea;
And he kisses the flower,
And he sleeps when he lists
In a jessamine bower.
He gives to the cheek
Of the maiden its bloom,
He tastes her warm kisses,
Enjoys their perfume ;
But truant-like, often
The sweets that he sips,
Are lavished nest moment
On lovelier lips.
Advertising.
The New York Tribune, in a labored article on
a reform in trade, gives the following hints, in re
gard to the item of advertising:
We have remarked that extensive advertising is
one of the means, by which the reform in trade is
to be accomplished. The two classes, buyers and
sellers, have a common interest in finding 'each
other, that is to say, it is for the interest of him
who can supply a certain want cheapest, to have
every !payer aware of the fact; and it is for the
interest of the buyer no less. An expenditure of
Hy thousand dollars, may not be too much, one of
five thousand, may be too little for that purpose.—
If, for example, somebody has discovered, as we see
it stated in a southern paper, a substance, or chem
ical compound, which will dispense with the labor
now required in washing clothes, or the half of it,
at a very small cost, the owner of this patent may
spend fifty thousand dollars a year in advertising
it, and then not spend enough. There are inven
tions, within our knowledge, worth hundreds of
thousands, if the patentees knew how, and had the
enterprise to bring them home to the knowledge of
all interested—by the failings they will never realise
twenty thousand. Whoever can supply this city
cheapest, with almost any article which will meet
a general, want hitherto more expensively met, can
not advertise too much if he knows how to ad
vertise at all. And yet many a dealer in our city,
pays a thousand dollars more for an eligibly located
store, than he need pay in a less frequented street,
and does not pay a hundred dollars a year for ad
vertising!. He willingly pays a thousand dollars.
merely to let some ten thousand people know that
he has certain articles to sell, but grudges five hun
dred dollars to give the same knowledge to millions.
Will the business men of New Orleans take the
hint? Now is the time for advertising. If a pro
per effort is made, the approaching season will be
one of unusual activity in this city.
In reference to this subject, the Boston Times
says:
"Ii you want to obtain a situation; if you want
to obtain help; if you want to hire or let a house;
if you want to obtain boarders; if you want to
sell your goods, wares and merchandize; finally, ii
you want to get business, and make money, ad
vertise, advertise."
A NEW ORLEAN'S EDITOR'S VIEW OP THE PA.
RAlLnoen.—The editor of the N. 0. Bulletin, who
is sojourning in this city, writes home the follow.
ing account of the Pennsylvania Railroad ..--Public
Ledger.
I have previously alluded to this road, but the
more I see and hear of it, the greater importance I
attach to the work. It is evidently the great work
of the kind in the United States, connected as it will
be with the great lines of the West. To this city
its importance and benefits, can hardly be over es
timated. It is to connect Philadelphia and Pitts
burg, the distance being about 300 miles. The
State owns the road, already completed from this
to Lancaster, and a private company ownb the one
from Lancaster to Harrisburg, and it is from Harris
burg the Central Road tarts.
Sixty three miles of it to Lewistown are already
finished, and sixty odd miles more to the toot of the
mountain will be completed by the spring. There
it joins the State postage railroad, across the moun
tains 36 miles to Johnstown, from which point they
are also at work in strong force, towards Pittsburg.
Tre company have leased the road between Harris
burg and Lancaster, and have made an offer to the
State to hire from them that between Lancaster and
this city. on terms which will no doubt be accepted.
They then will have the entire control of the whole
route to Pittsburg, as they only intend to use the
State postage road across the• mountains, until they
can complete one of their own, through a new and
lower gorge, which they can travel with the ordi•
nary locomotive, at - A dispense with all the expensive
operations of inclined planes and stationary engines.
This road once completed, there will be a continuous
railroad from Philadelphia to Cincinnati, by which
it is estimated merchandise and produce can be
transported at from seventy-five cts. to a dollar per
10) pounds, and passengers at from $l2 to sl3.
At these rates it is hardly possible to compute the
enormous amount of trade and travel which will
come by this route, instead of by the present longer,
mere circuitous and more costly canal and lake
routes to New York. The passage money from
New Orleans to Philadelphia will by this route not
exceed $3O, and in proportion from Louisville, St.
Louis and all the great-west. Asailroad will con
nect this one with Cleveland, on the lakes, and this
latter place i 5,300 miles nearer Philadelphia than
New York--whilst the ; rivers, canals and lakes are
frozen, and all transportation towards New York
completely interrupted, this road will be in full op•
eration, and Will bring the products of the west to
market weeks and months before it could get to
New York. Unfortunately, it will also seriously
affect New Orleans, by draining off large quantities
of produce whilst the navigation of the Ohio is
terrupted by ice in the winter, and low water in the
summer and autumn. I consider this_one work as
of equal, if not of more importance toThiladelphia,
than all the public improvethents izitlieState,except
perhaps in the single item of the.coal .iradtt.
Gen. Joseph Lane, of Indiana.
To the Editors of the Pennsylvanian:
Allow me to submit a few facts, connected with
the life and character of General JOSEPH Lass, late
Governor of Oregon. The General being a con
spicuous, and I may say, heroic character, during
the recent struggle with Mexico; and being at this
time prominent before the country as a distinguish
ed victim to the national guillotine, I think it right
and proper,
to submit the following for your peru
sal; and if you approve, to the attention of your
readers, through the columns of the Pennsylvanian:
Gen. Lane was born in North Carolina. During
his childhood, his parents emigrated to. Kentucky,
and on the frontiers of this state he passed his
youth. His parents were poor; and the early edu
cation of their son was limitd; but naturally of
strong mind and good memory, he never was at a
loss to apply his little stock of knowledge to the
right course. Too poor to study a profession, he
passed the greater part of his early manhood in the
hardy and laborious character of wood chopper and
boatman. At one time preparing his cord wood
on the banks of the Ohio, for the use of the steam
boats navigating that beautiful stream; and again
he is seen with his shoulder to the pole, or the cor
del
lashed across his muscular breast, driving the
keelboat up the rugged current of the Father of
Waters. For his industry and perseverance and
I above all, his honesty, he soon became well known
to the navigators of the western waters. His
wood was always the best for steam; and as the
rough boatman expresses it, "honest Joe Lane
never failed to give them an honest cord of wood.'
this kind of life soon made him acquainted with
the many shoals and sawyers so dangerous to navi
gation; and it was not long before honest Joe Lane
became one of the best and most experienced pilots
afloat. By pushing his industry, and strict atten
tion to business, he realized sufficient to purchase a
.ine farm, near Evansville, Indiana. During the
.igricultural season, he devoted his entire attention
to his farm, and the remainder of the year was
passed in building flat boats, and floating his pro
!see to the New Orleans market.
At last a new field was open for the trial of
the honest boatman's ambition. Always a warm
lemocrat, and never losing an opportunity to in
.orm himself on the principles that govern the land,
le was not found, when called, like some other
General we might mention, stupidly ignorant of
he great questions that divide the political parties
of the nation. Honest Joe was elected to the
senate of his adopted State. Many years passed,
and still the voice of the poor boatman and hardy
wood chopper was heard in the halls of-legislation.
No longer with physical might is he struggling
with the stubborn waters of the Ohio, or directing
uis bark with strong and skillful arm, amid the 1
wild waters of the Mississippi• ' but there, in the
councils of his State, he stands, front to front. with I
experienced politicians of the thy, exercising the
greatest influence, and commanding the most pro
iound respect.
War was declared against Mexico; and the first
call for volunteers from the state of Indiana, found
honest Joe Lane enlisted as a private: but in this
humble capacity he was never destined to serve.--
The gallant spirits with whom he was connected,
knew their man. Many had braved with him the
difficulties and dangers incident to a boatman's life,
and they knew him to be brave, cool, calculating
and energetic. He was elected Colonel of the regi
ment.• To command these gallant men seemed to
be the height of his ambition; but a higher and
more responsible post was destined for him. Indi
ana was entitled to a Brigadier; and before her
volunteers had reached the scene o war, the vacan
cy was filled, and Indiana had her General. The
honest wood chopper, without any personal solici
tation, or knowledge of any interference on the
part of his friends, received from the lamented
Polk, the commission of Brigadier General in the
United States Army.
Previous to the taking of Monterey, Gen. Lane
was encamped on the Rio Grande, opposite Barrita
—occupying the sloughs and sand hills of Belknap.
This position was unhealthy, and the career of
many gallant spirits was cut short by death and
disease. General Lane visited General Taylor at
Matamoras, and earnestly requested that his com
mand might be removed about twelve miles above,
to the high and healthy grounds, near the mouth of
the Palo Alto. "No sir," was the answer, "the
ground you occupy was selected, and it must be
occupied." Not because it was necessary for the
good of the service, but because it was selected.
A thousand. American graves (not of Indiana alone,)
now occupied the sand hills of Belknap--and why?
merely to gratify the vanity of the drunken Colonel
who selected it, and from whom it takes it name.
Months pass, and Lane is Governor of Saltillo, yet
his command is not neglected. He instructs it
daily in the discharge of its duties. Buena Vista is
at hand, and Taylor is surrounded. Lane r pens
the fight on the plain, and is contending with des
peration against four thousand of the enemy.—
Bleeding from a severe wound— , his right arm dis
abled, and covered with blood, he fights throughout
that bloody action, like an unchained tiger—and
when all is over—the victory . gained—General
Taylor's official report says—" Slightly wounded,
Gen. Lane behaved gallantly berme the enemy.!"
Puebla is surrounded by thousands of the swarthy
minions of Mexico, and the brave little band of
Pennsylvania volunteers still hold out against the
fearful odds. Succor is long coming, yet it is ar
rived, and honest Joe Lane raises 'the siege, and
drives Santa Anna to the mountains. Atlisco and
Wamautla" follow in quick succession, and Santa
Anna's fond hope of regaining the valley of Puebla,
is frustrated by the chivalric and industrious wood
chopper of Indiana. Lane opens his way to the
city of Mexico, and reports himself to the greatest
general of the age: Scotts sees the quality of the
man at once, and does not fail to use him.
Santa Anna is at Orizaba, resting in conscious
security. A few miles distant a party of American
Rangers is stealthily approaching the town, under
the cover of night. They gain it and charge--the
garrison is taken, but the bird is flown. Santa
Anna again escapes the activity and vigilance of
Lane. Weeks pass and again we see th gallant
General with his heroic band crossing the moun
tain passes, whose depths, as he expressed it, made
the heart flutter, in pursuit of the great guerrilla
priest.
It is midnight, and the daring band of American
Rangers are leading their horses along a mountain
-path, where naught but the sure footed Bravoever
passed. A horse would miss his footing, 'and the
still night reverberate with a dying neigh as.he
dashed into the dark cavern beneath The summit
is gained—day dawned, and Tewaltipau, the great
guerrilla depot, the home of their desperate chief,
lies at their feet. A rush—a charge, and a bloody
hand to hand conflict ensues. They fight as they
never fought before. The carnage is over, but
Jauranta, although wounded, is not taken. This,
however. was his last fight. His band was broken
up, and Lane returned to head-quarters, with the
assurance that henceforth guerrilla fights would be
few and far between.
With the fall of Tewaltipau, and the destruction
of this prominent guerrilla depot, together with the
entire disorganization of Jaurantes band, ended the
field operations and active service of Gen Joseph
Lane. Well might the army style him the Marion
of Mexico! At the close of the war he returned
home, and entered again upon the duties belonging
to his farm.
Again his country calls him to a most important
post—he shrinks not, and as a Governor of Oregon,
he immediately repairs to that distant land, ready
to shield with his brave heart, from the brutal knife
of the savage, the homes or the American emigrant.
Time passed, and Lane is no longer Governor.—
His friend is dead. The administration that appre.
ciated his merits and knew his worth, has long
since vanished away, and the man who refused the
honest wood chopper of Indiana a healthier camp
for his sick dying and soldiers, on the banks of the
Palo Alto, is occupying,•in luxurious idleness, the
White House at Washington.

DEFERRED AitTICiES.
SIR Joax Fnerrstrx.—lntellikencei brought by ,
the recent'arrivals from Europe, and at New Lon 4
don, would seem to render it probable that the long
lost navigator, Sir JOAN FRANKLIN, and the crew
of his expedition, are safe. The two ships are said,
to be lying in Prince Regent's Tnlet, where. they
have been for four seasons fast bound in ice. The
natives of the coast who gave the information to
the commander of the barque McLellan, of New
London, Connecticut, while the vessel lay, in lati
tude 74 north, and longitude 72, state that the offi
cers and crews were alive and well.
The barque McLellan and her ()Meets and crew
reached home as if by a miracle. On the 12th of
June the vessel got "nipped" in the ice, and only
escaped destruction by the almost superhuman
ex
ertions and conduct of those who were in charge
of her. She was so severely injured that she leaked
so as to be kept afloat, the ‘Vhole distance home,
only by the incessant work of nearly all hands at
the pumps, and by means of two large metallic
pumps, obtained by the Captain from two English
ships crushed and totally lost just ahead of him.
IMPORTANT AND REMARKA BLS INVE.NTION.,-
Mr. M. SMITH SALTED., of Newark, N. J., as we
learn from the -Manisa, has just obtained a patent
for an invention which, it is believed, is destined to
have a most important influence upon the useful
art of life, and the industry of the country and the
world. It is a new method of making iron, direct
from the oar, with anthracite or bituminous coal,
by a single process. By means of this remarkable
invention Mr. S. proposes to make wrought irom-at
a cost of s2sto $3O per ton—at least half the
usual cost. His furnace has three combined cham
bers, one above the other, and all actuated by the
same fire. The upper-chamber is used for deoxidiz
ing the ore,--impurities, such as sulphur, &c., being
carried off at a low temperature; the middle cham
ber for fluxing and working, and the lower chamber
for reducing and finishing. The - metal is taken
from the last named to the hammer or squeezer•
The whoie time occupied in this process, fro - m
the
time the ore is put , into the furnace until finished
by the hammer, is only two hours. One of his
furnaces is now in operation at Boonton, in Morris
co., N. J. Perhaps a more important invention—it
fuller experiments should verify present anticipa
tions—has not been introduced in many years. Its
effect upon the production and consumption of iron
must be immense.
The Sioux Indians.
We learn from the tfinesota Chronicle of the
nth instant that, for several days pr”vionsly, Gov.
Ramsey and _Gov. Chambers, wha constitute the
commission appointed to treav - iwith the Sioux In
dian., had h ewn in conference with them at Men
dota. near Fort Snelling. The number of Indians
in attendance was about three thousand. It seems
there is no hope o effecting anything like a general
treaty with them at present. They allege that the
season is too far advanced, and for this and some
other reasons (not stated in the Chronicle) they
decline entertaining any proposition of the kind
this season.
The Commissioners had appointed Monday, the
6th instant, for a meeting with what is called the
Half Breeds, to treat - with.them, if practicable, for
a tract of land they own on the west side of the
Mississippi, opposite Lake Pepin, some thirty-five
miles on the river, and extending back fifteen iniles ;
and a week later (the 15th) the Commissioners
were to meet the Wapatee. Wapokotee, and Sisseton
bands of the Sioux, to negotiate with them for lands
they own. It is proper to state, for the information
of those not much acquainted with Indian affairs,
that every nation, united by a common language,
are divided into bands, each claiming separate in
terest in lands. It often happens, however, that
they unite in a general treaty—Nat. Intel.
Inflammable Gas.--A Curiosity.
The Cleveland Herald of October 19th says:
"There are numerous issues of inflammable gas
on the farm of Mr. Michael Faulkner, in Brecks
ville, in this county. About an acre of the bottom
lands on the Chippewa give forth the gas, the soil
bein exceedingly porous and filled with cracks,
from which the gas escapes. Place a common tin
horn over one of these cracks, apply a match at
the top, and a brilliant flame of yellowish,appear
anee breaks forth, which will burn steadily for
weeks. The proprietor made an excavation some
12 feet deep at one of the gas openings, and flung
in burning hay., Quite au explosion followed ; the
hay was scattered in the air, and a blaze issued
several feet high. It continued to burn until the
ground caved in and smothered the flames.
"The ground from which the gas escapes never
freezes, and nothing will grow upon it, although
the soil is rich The location is fourteen miles
from Cleveland, and has attracted many visitor§ to
see the earth burn. The existence of the gas has
been known there for a dozen years or more, and
the quantity escaping, which is large, seems to be
increasing rather than otherwise. Cannot Nature's
gasometer be appropriated by man to some useful
purposes."
Nophotism.
The New York Courier and Enquirer, a Whig
paper, in allusion to the present National Admin
istration, says :
"We hazard nothing in saying, that, in the whole
history of parties in the United States, never has
there been such a total squandering of patronage
without the slightest prospect of reaping fruit from
it, as by the pa'ny now in power. From Maine to
Louisiana, we hear one universal complaint, that -
the recipients of office have filled up the subordinate
places in their gift with their sons, nephews, brothers,
and family connexions of every conceivable degree
of consanguinity!"
Russia and Circassia.
While the Russians have been contending with
the Hungarians, they have lost many of the advan
tages which they gained after a severe and bloody
struggle in Circassia. The Circassians taking advan
tage of the withdrawal of the Russian. forces from
their frontiers, for the Hungarian campaign, have
expelled the Russians from an immense extent of
territory, and have destroyed several of their forts.
They have crossed the Couban, and put all the Rus
sian garrisons in that quarter to the. sword.—Bia
