Vemake our best bow to you, Colonel.- May
live a thousand years and your shadow never
i ro w less. It is said that "misfortunes never come
ngle ;" but in the case of our military friend, Col.
1 00.111 T, the adage seems to have been reversed.
or, almost simultaneous with the reception of the
hove valuable commission, he received one tram
overnor Lowe, appointing him Commissioner of
feeds for the State of Maryland, for this County.
ff 7 Almost the entire orthodox Democratic
press of the State, so far as our knowledge extends,
concur in the action of the State Convention, in
reference to the Presidency, and express a willing
ress to submit to the will of the majority. The
few—and they are but very few--exceptions amount
to scarcely a drop in the bucket, compared with
le vast majo4ty who now go in heart and soul,
r thenominat ' llin of Mr. Boca/NAN. This is as it
should be. Before the decision of the State Conven-
iion, our friends had a perfect right to urge their
preferences ;--after the Convention (which body
truly reflected the popular will) hadulecided by an
overwhelming vote, in favor of our own distin
guished statesman, all opposition should at once
cease, and every Democrat should go in for Penn
sylvania and her candidate.- So has it been with
(.4en Houston in Texas, Gen. Butler in Kentucky,
,Gen Lane in Indiana, and Judge Douglass in Illi
nois, although in some of those States the opposi
tion to their candidate was quite as formidable as
in our own. Any other course must be considered
antidemocratic and faCtious by all right thinking
If we wish the claims of our good old Stale to be
respected in the National Convention, we must re
spect
ourselves by presenting, as nearly as may be,
an undivided front in favor of our own candidate.
This is the true policy for us to pursue, and we are
glad to perceive that such is the tendency of things
at the present time, throughout the whole 'extent
of the Commonwealth, as to leave scarcely a doubt
that it will be done. The efforts of a few restless,
disorganizing spirits, who are still disposed to keep
up a warfare against the candidate of Pennsylva
nia, can scarcely disturb the general acquiescence
in thedecision of the Convention that is so manifest,
or mar the harmony in the party that now almost
universally prevails.
Next Agricultural Fair.
At a meeting of the Executive Committee, of the
Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society, held at
Harrisburg, on,Thursday, the 26th of February, it
was resolved that next Fall Exhibition shall be held
on the 20th, 21st and 22d of October, 18J2; and
the subject of a place where it shall be held was
referred to a committee consisting of Frederick
Watts, David Mumma, and James Gowen.
As it is the purpose of the Committee to inquire
what place will be most suitable, and afford the
greatest facilities and accomodations for the Exhi
bition, an opportunity will be afforded to the dif
ferent towns and cities in the State to become com
petitors for it.

We are indebted to our friend Col. JAmas

in the San Francisco Herald, is the ages of the Sen.

The Instructions.
The Pemdcratic Union thus disposes of the silly
twaddle of the Harrisburg Keystone and a few kin
dred prints, respecting the meaning of the instruc
tions to the delegates who were appointed to the
National Convention. Speaking of the pretended
solicitude of that print for the interests of Mr. Bu
, CEIANAN, the Union:says : •
The eighth resolution, as reported by the com
mittee, was reported in the following words:
" Resolved, That the 'delegates elected by this
Convention, be and they are hereby/instructed to
vole for him (Mr:Buchanan) fromifirst to last, and
to use all fair and honorable means to secure his
nomination.-
Mr. Reilly then moved to amend this resolution,
by striking it out and inserting, "that the Demo
cratic delegates elected by this Convention, to the
National Convention, be and they are hereby in
structed to vote in said National Convention, on the
first and every subsequent vote for the Hon. James
Buchanan, until he is nominated or the Convention
adjourn."
The object of this amendment was, so palpable,
coming as it did from one of Mr. Buchanan's ene
mies,' that Mr. Hirst moved to strike it out and in
sert, "that this Convention have full confidence in
the integrity and talents of the delegates just select.
ed to the Baltimore Convention, and we believe that
they will triumphantly advocate the nomination bf
Pennsylvania before that Convention. -
Now, had a vote been taken upon this amend
ment to an amendment which proposed to strike
out the original resolution, there might be some
.cause for the lament of the Keystone, that after his
great victory the delegates were not bound to the
support of Mr. Buchanan; but unfortunately for
`The correctness of itsstatement, Mr: Reilly withdrew
his amendment, by which act the amendment offered
I by Mr. Hirst fell. The question recurred on the
original resolution, as reported by the committee,
when Mr. Stiles, another member of the minority ,
who voted against Mr. Buch anattoughout, moved
to amend the resolution as folio : "that the dele
gates from this State to the National Con'vention,
be and they are hereby instructed to vote for no
man in said Convention but the favorite son of
Pennsylvania, the Hon. James Buchanan;'
It was apparent to every man in the Convention,
that this amendment was not offered 'with a sincere
desire to further the interests of IFIr. Buchanan, but
was designed to embarrass the action of the dele
gates, and ultimately to defeat their cause. Know.
ing this, Mr. Hirst renewed his amendment, which
fell when Mr. Reilly Withdrew his substitute for
the original resolution. After some debate, Mr.
Hirst called the previous question ; his amendment
which struck oat the amendment of Mr. Stiles, was
adopted , and became a part •ot the original resolu
tion. The amendment of Air. Stiles did not, as as
serted by the Keystone, propose to strike out the
original resolution, but simply to amend it. Mr.
Reilly's amendment was to strike out the resolu
tion, but it was withdrawn, so the original resolu
tion of instruction yet remains with the amendment,
of Mr. Hirst engrafted upon it. Mr. Reilly after.
wards renewed his amendment previously with
drawn, and every opponent of Mr. Buchanan voted for
it: So we hope that the unquiet nerves of the
Keystone will be calmed, and its distressing appre
hensions removed, when it calls to mind the fact
that every man in the Convention, both the friends and
the enemies of Mr. Buchanan, voted to instruct the del.
egates to Baltimore in his favor.
Another Plan
We are indebted to Mr. BONHAM, of the House of
Representatives, for a copy of a bill read in place
by him, on the 12th inst., entitled "An Act for the
better regulation and .management or the public
improvements of the Common Wealth," and which
is intended as a substitute for Mr Muldenberg's
bill in the Senate. 4
• The bill of Mr. Bonham contemplates separating
the public improvements into three divisions, each
one of which to be exclusively under the control of
one Canal Commissioner. The first division corn- 1
prises the Pennsylvania Canal from Duncan's Is
land to Columbia, the Columbia Railroad, and the
Delaware Division of the Pennsylvania Canal; the
second embracs the Juniata Division from the Ac
queduct at Duncan's Island, Allegheny Portage i
Railroad, and the Western Division of the Canal
ending at Pittsburg; and the third will be coin
posed of the Susquehanna Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Canal from
. Duncan's Island to Northumber
land, and also the North and West :Branch Divis
ions of the said Canal. Each Commissioner to ap
j point all the officers for his respective division,
I
with the advice and consent of the Auditor Gener
al and State Treasurer. One of said Canal Com
missioners to be appointed by the Governor, and
the other two elected by the people. The Board
to meet monthly at Harrisburg, and to make a re.
port annually of such matters as required their.
joint action—and also a report is to be made by
each member relative to hisown
The above are the principal features of the bill,
and, in a general way, we like it much better than
Mr. Muhlenberg's. Still, vie think the present sys
ern, that has now been in operation for several
years, should not be changed unless we are certain
of substituting a better one.
Ren.no►n CnnEnnenon.—The Pittsburg papers
contain full accounts of the celebration which took
place on the 11th inst., on the opening of the Ohio
and'Pennsylvania Railroad to Massillon. The eel-'
ebration comprised an excursion of the stockhold
ers and friends of the road from Pittsburg to Mas
sillon, where they were received with salvos of ar
tillery, and with every demonstration which could
mark their sense of the importance of the event and
the gratification felt at the progress of the improve
ment. The Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad, start-
ing from Pittsburg, where it connects with the Penn- i
sYlvani'a Central Railroad, runs through Beaver and
Salem, mnnecting there with the Cleveland and
Wellsville Railroad, the opening of which was cel
ebrated on the 4th inst., thus giving Pittsburg an
uninterrupted communication with Lake Erie. At
Massillon, its present terminus, it crosses the great
Ohio State Canal, running from Cleveland and Lake
Erie to Portsmouth on the Ohio, and from Massil
lon it will be continued to Galion, where it inter
sects the Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati Rail
road, and connects with the Bellfontaine and Indi
ana Railroad, which latter connects at Indianopolis
with the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad,
which last will have its terminus at the city of St.
Louis.
fl The Reading "Adler," the oldest, and by far'
the ablest and most influential German Democratic
paper in the United States, has raised the name of
Jamas BUCHANAN to the head of its columns since
the decision of the State Convention. This is in
accordance, as it avows, with public sentiment in
glorious Old Berks as well as throughbut the Com
monwealth. Prior to the assembling of the State
,Convention, the "Adler" pursued a neutral course
on the subject of the Presidency, although always
disposed to be friendly to Mr. Bucttermi-rprefer
ing, we suppose, to follow rather than lead public
opinion. Berks county is now almost a unit in
support of Pennsylvania's great statesman, and, in
the event of his nomination at Baltimore, will give
him a larger majority than she has ever given to
any other candidate. In that contest we shall wil
lingly pit Berks against Lancaster, and have at least
two thousand to spare.
g We are indebted to Hon. Jam L. Dewsox,
of Congress, for a pamphlet copy of his excellent
speech in favor of the bill "granting one quarter
section of the Public Land to each actual settler"
Mr. D. give.4romise of much usefulness in Con-
gress, and the Democracy of hisdistrict have reason
to be proud of their Representative.
1:17 - A destructive fire occurred at Cincinnati on
Saturday last.
The Carlisle "Volunteer."
For several reasons, unnecessary to name, our
friend Baierrox of the Carlisle " Volunteer," is one
of the last men on earth we would desire to have
any "controversy" with—knowing, as we do, that
no laurels could be reaped on either side from such
"a war of words," much less could it enure to the
benefit of the Democratic party in Old Mother
Cumberland, for whose welfare we shall always
feel a wym'regard, and still less would it be inter
esting fur readers in Lancaster county. We
must, therefore, respectfully ask to be excused
from taking up the glove our contemporary has so
cavalierly thrown down. Our object last week
was mainly to defend Mr. BucHANAN from what
we conceived to be—in fact, what we knew to be—
an unfounded and ungenerous assault upon him in
the " Volunteer ;" and, of necessity, in doing so,
we had to place Mr. BHATTON (who seems to have
forgotten the position he occupied in 1847-8) right
upon the record. This done, we have but little
more to say. The consideration of the classic terms
"a voice from Wheatland," "home organ," "clique,"
"master," and all those refined epithets so freely.
used by our friend, we cheerfully refer to the Democ
racy of Cumberland county, who have known us
longer, and, it may be, alm'ost as favorably as they
have known Mr. B. Whether we had their "full
confidence, - during the twenty years we took an
active part in their political contests, and especially
during the time we conducted their organ—as our.
worthy successor alleges he has, and which gives
us much pleasure to learn—it is not for us to say,
as , we prefer not to trumpet our own praise. We
leave the decision of that question to them.
And now a word respecting our public men—we
mean those who have been elevated by their
Democratic fellow-citizens to high positions
in the Government. if we can say nothing good
of them, it has been an invariable rule with us to
say as little harm as possible. We have always
preferred leaving that part of the business to be
transacted by the common enemy. In other words,
we would not, if we could, furnish a club to the
Whigs wherewith to break our own heads—partic
ularly where no possible benefit to the party or
the public at large could result from such a course,
and more especially when there was a strong proba.
bility that, afterwards, if we wished to preserve caste
with the Democratic patty, we might be compelled
to swallow all we had said, as was unfortunately
the case with some Democratic journals in this
State about the time the Tariff of 1846 was env:
ted. Of course we would not be understood as
placing the " Volunteer" in such a ridiculous atti
tude. This we conceive to be the true course for a
Democratic editor to pursue, in the general, and we
have uniformly acted upon the principle since we
commenced journalizing nearly sixteen years ago-
Mr. BRAT-rox may, if he chooses, think and act dif
ferently, and has a perfect right so to do—at least
we would not debar him from exercising the priv
ilege, if we could. It is a mere difference of opin
ion between friends, and it is for the readers of the
" Volunteer" and "Intelligencer," respectively, to
judge for themselves as to which is the proper
course, and which is most likely to give unity and
strength to the Democratic party. Acting out this
principle, then, ice would not charge a Democratic
Board of Canal Commissioners with "double-tleal
ing," nor a Democratic Governor and Canal Board
with conspiring to deprive Cumberland or any other
county of her proper share of the offices—at least
not without the strongest gnd most undoubted evi
dence of its truthfulness. We would leave that
to our common enemy—the Whigs Mr. 13RATTON
acts on the opposite principle. He has a right to
do en, and we make no complaint on that score.
Another Leah—Stop it.
The House \ of Representatives at WLlrington
has had its attention called to a Department in
which there has been as profligate a waste of the
public money carried 011 within a few years past,
as in any of the better known modes of depleting
the treasury,
Mr. WLANAIIAN, from the Judiciary Committee,
reported a bill to regulate the fees and costs to be
allowed to the clerks, marshals, and attorneys of
the Circuit and District Court of the United States.
He moved that it be referred to a Committee of the
Whole on the State of the Union, and that five
thousand copies of the bill and report be printed.
Being asked why he pioposed so large a number
of copies, he said the increase of the expense of
the judiciary, from the organization of the govern
ment to the present time, hail led the community to
investigate the causes which produced the result.
Ile stated that in the year 1500, the expenses of the
judiciary were $42,000; in 1843, $373,693 ; in
1850, $556,434. The population of the country
1 has increased 333 per cent., while the judiciary
hai , e increased 1,037 per cent. in that period of
time. In the northern district of New York, the
expenses of the judiciary, independent of the
judges, from 1830 to the present time have increas
ed from $3,500 to $43,965, and they are about
twelve times as great as they were twelve years
ago. In Massachusetts, within a similar period of
time, the expenses have increased from $9,939 to
s92,72o—about ten times as great as they were
ten years ago—and this exclusive of the salaries of
the judges. These, and various other facts are
mentioned in the report. Mr. MtLanahan , s motion
was agreed to.
117" If Mr. BUCHANAN be the weak candidate lie
is represented by a portion of the Whig press and
their so-called Democratic allies, why do they keep
up such a constant warfare upon him'? It he has
no chance of receiving the nomination for the Pres
idency, as they would fain make their readers be
lieve, why do they spend their time and waste their
breath in unceasing denunciation ? This is some
thing for the life of us we cannot understand. It
he is not in their way, what is the use of devoting
all their attention to him? why not attack others
who have a good chance ? The truth of the mat
ter is, they fear his nomination, and they know that,
if nominated, his election is certain—hence their
continued attacks upon him. This the true secret
of all their hostility ; and they may twist and turn
the matter as they please, they cannot prevent such
a conclusion being arrived at in the minds of all
intelligent men.
1:17' The splendid gold medal recently presented
to the Hon. HENRY CLAY, by a number of his
frisnds in Nelk York, was stolen or lost, one day
last week, in that city. A reward of $5OO is of
fered for its recovery. The medal was of solid
gold, enclosed in a massive silver case, and cost
$2500.
The following extract of a letter from Mr. Chas.
Butler to Daniel Ullman, Esq., Chairman of the
Cogimittee , who furnished the medal, will explain
all that is yet knowit respecting its disappearance.
Mr. B. says :
Dear Sir—The gold medal recently presented by
citizens of New York, the personal and political
friends of Hon. Henry Clay, to that distinguished
statesman, was by him entrusted on Friday last
to the care of Miss Lynch, of New York, to be
delivered to you.
Miss Lynch and her mother, with my family,
left Washington on that day to return to New
York, under my protection. At my instance and
persuasion the medal, for greater safety, was placed
in my carpet bag, which contained my writing
case and other valuables, and this bag was kept by
me personally in the cars and carried in my own
hands at the various changes and stopping places
on the route, until our arrival in New York on
Saturday at 2 o'clock, P. M., when it was placed
on the hack which was to convey us to our resi
dences.
ilaw it put on the driver's seat by Mr. Vreeland,
the master and proprietor of the hack, by
the side of the driver, and it was in that situation,
as we believe, when the carriage left the foot of
Courtlandt street, (Mr. Vreeland himself being pre
sent and directing.) On arriving at No. 45 Ninth
street, the residence of Miss Lynch, the bag was
missing, and the driver could give no account of it.
Every step was immediately taken to recover it
that suggested
,itself to my mind, and no pains will
be spared in prosecuting the search.- •
ll The bill repealing the Gth section of the act
of 1847, prohibiting the use of the Jails of this
Commonwealth for the detention of fugitive slaves,
passed the Senate, on Thursday, by a vote of 21 to

Blithe, Marriages and Deaths.
The act providing for the registration:of marria
ges, births and deaths, which was passed by :the
last Legislature, has become a law without the
signature of the Governor, having been passed with
in ten days of the close of the session and not sent
back within three days after the meeting of the
present legislature. The bill requires the Register
and Recorder of each county to keep a book for
registrations, in which shall be entered, in cases of
marriage, the name and occupation of the husband,
his plabe of birth and residence, and the names of
his parents; also the name of the wife and her pa
rents, together with the color of the parties; the
time and place where the ceremony was performed,
and the name and residence of the person perform.
ing it. These facts in the form of a certificate, un
der oath, must be furnished to the Register, by the
clergyman, or persons officiating, within thirty
days, under a penalty of five dollars. In cases of
births, the physician or other persons in attendance
is required to return, within the same time and
under the same penalty, the name and occupation
of the parents, as well as the name of the mother
previous to marriage, the sex and color of the child,
the time of birth, &c. When deaths .occur 4, the
name, sex, color and age, (as near as can be ascer
tained) of the deceased, must be returned, together
with the occupation, place of birth and death, cause
of death, and other facts connected therewith.—
Neglect or refusal of the proper person to , make
such return, subjects him to a penalty of twenty
dollars. The expenses of registration are to be paid
out of the county treasury.
Buchanan in Arkansas.
The Fort Smith (Arkansas) Herald, one of the
ablest and most influential papers in that State, of
the 28th ult., came to ..nd a few days ago with
the names of JAMES BUCHANAN for President, and
WILLIAM R. KING for Vice President at the head
of its columns. We make the following extract
from its editorial article
Having raised to our mast-head, the name of Mr.
BUCHANAN, for the Presidency, we will state in a
few words the reasons which impel us to do so—
We believe Mr. Buchanan the strongest and most
unexceptionable man yet spoken of for that high
and exalted station, President of these United Stales.
Mr. 8., as Senator of the United States, has won a
lame, which places him high up in the rank of ora
tors, and as a diplomatist, his talents are acknowl
edged, and his name is as familiar as the history of
the civilized world. His giant intellect, and lofty
pktriotism, was a tower of strength to the admin
istration of Mr. POLK. We believe that he will be
no sectional President, but a man of the whole peo
ple, unbiased by sectional, or local prejudices, and
that the northern and southern democracy can
come together under his banner with more una
nimity than that of any other leader. .
A Voice from Fayette.
The home of Searight speaks. The last Genius.
of Liberty, the organ of the Democracy of Fayette
county, has yielded its preference for Gen Cass, in
accordance with the public sentiment of the State,
as expressed in the Harrisburg Convention, and
comes to hand with the name of Jaziss BucliArrAN
at the head of its editorial colurrins. We make the
following extr a ct from an excellent article which
•
accompanies the act:
Hoa. JAMES Buctuseor.--This distinguished
Pennsylvanian and National Democrat, has been
declared by the proper tribunal to be the choice of
the Democracy of Pennsylvania for President of the
United States. We deem it our duty, therefore, as
the Editor of a Democratic newspaper, to keep this
fact before the people and the world. We accord
ingly place the name of the great statesman of Penn
sylvania at our mast head, in the relation in which
he stands to the people, by the action of the democ
racy of the State. It is probably known to moSt of
I • our readers, that our personal predilections tend in
a different direction—towards the statesman • and
patriot of the Union, the "brave old volunteer,"
LEWIS Cuss, of Michigan. So we'believe the pre
dilections of the democracy of Fayette county tend;
but submission to the will of the majority is a part
of democracy, and there is no people more ready to
endorse all the principles of democracy, than the
people of Fayette county.
If Pennsylvania's choice should be ratified by the
Baltimore convention, the support he will receive
from the democracy of Fayette county will be strong,
hearty and enthusiastic ; and should that choice be
ratified by that ultimate tribunal,J/mEs BUCHANAN,
of Pennsylvania, will be the next President of the
United States, and after he shall have served his
Presidential term, he will leave to the country and
posterity the record of. an Administration, not less
brilliant Than any that has preceded it.
The Proper Spirit
The Allentown Democrat, the organ of the Le
high Democracy, whose delegates in the State Con
vention supported Gen CASs, speaks after this wise
of Presidential matters :
In common with a large majority of the Demo
crats of this District, it is known we have advoca•
ted the claims of Gen. CAss to the , Presidentiat
nomination. Aside from the fact that he is one of
the greatest and purest Statesmen
. of the age in
which we live, we have looked upon him as a mar

sylvanian Convention, in favor of Mr. BUCHANAN,

choice of the Democracy in his own State, in Geor

Correspondence of the Daily Nedi. •
HARRISBURG,• Mar. 17, ISI2
The proposition of the transportees, to lease the
State Works, from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,. was
made to the House to-day. It is in the following
terms
Join S. REMY, Esq., Speaker of H B.
The undersigned, citizens of the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania, respectfully submit the following
.proposition to lease the finished line of Canal and
Railroad of the State torl term of ten years from
the first day of August next, and keep the same in
as good repair as when received, and pay for the
first year eight hundred thousand dollars; tor the
second year, eight and fifty thousand dollars; for the
third year, nine hundred thousand dollars;1 and for
each succeeding year, one million of dollars; the
payments to be made monthly to the State Treasu
rer, and secured by the deposit of one hundred
thousand dollars in the bonds of the State.
They furtlier propose to expend, in addition to '
the above payments, three hundred thousand dollars
towards the improvement of the Columbia and Phil
apelphia Railroad, during the term of their lease,
and also to double• the capacity of the locks on the
Delaware division of the Pennsylvania Canal, and,
on the completion of the road, to avoid the inclined
planes on the Allegheny Portage ; said road to pay
eight per cent. per annum on the money hereafter
appropriated and expended towards the construc
tion thereof. They also propose to pay seven per
cent. per annum on the sum of thirteen hundred
thousand dollars, on. the completion of the North
Branch Canal and its connection with the Chemung
Canal in the State of New York, and they pray the
Legislature to enact a law authorizing a contract
to be made with the, undersigned, or their associ
ates, in accordance with thelterms of this proposi
tion, all of which is most respectfully submitted
(Signed,)

Dock, Geo. W. Harris, Wm. F. Leech, Thomas F.
Cleric, Jeremiah Butler, J. K. Morehead, Israel
Painter, J. B. Morehead, Wm. B. Foster, Jr.
This is a proposition of vast importance, and de
serves, as it no doubt will receive, the grave and
serious attention of the Legislature. It contem
plates nothing short of surrendering the entire con
trol and profits of all the public works of the. Com
monwealth into the hands of a vast monopoly, for
a period of ten years—and as much longer as the
monopolists may desire; for it would, in effect be,
granting.them a perpetual charter, as'all who can
form any just conception of the power asked for
will readily perceive. Whether such an immense
chartered' company, such an imperio.in imperhon,
would prove a blessing or a' curse to the people of
Pennsylvania, we leave our readers to judge. By
granting them what they ask we might avoid the
rocks orScylla, in the shape of paying a portion of
the interest on our public debt; but it would only
be to plunge irretrievably into the gulf of Charyb
dis. Such is our opinion.—Ed. Intelligcncer.
117 - The State Capitol Gazette, a leading and

Er The Clinton Democrat, heretofore triendly
to Gen. CAss' nomination, since the decision of the
State Convention, has' raised the name of Jaraas

that the delegate from this county was instructed
for Gen. CAss.
And the Perry Democrat, heretofore very warmly
in opposition, now says:
If Mr. BUCHAN/Pi should be so fortunate as to
receive the nomination of the National Convention,
we shall most heartily give him our support.
The good work goes bravely on.

President.
—The Bahker's Magazine has compiled a list of
the number of banks in the several States, their
capital, circulation and coin. At this time there
are nine hundred and twenty-one in operation, hav
ing together a capital of $284,803,000, a circula

AMERICAN SECURITIES.—One million of dollars
of various American securities, hrve been purchased
in New York recently on foreign account. This
will check the outward flow of specie, out of which
the Whig papers have been endeavoring to make

all danger of a crash is at an end."
—The nineteenth annual report of the Pennsyl

home 2, received during the year 27, and remain-
I ing in the institution at the time of the report 107.
The institution continues under the same able
management under which it has prospered for years,
and is an honor to the Commonwealth by which
it has been liberally fostered.
—The movements making in the Legislature, to
create a law to regulate the weight of coal, is a
wise one, and meets with general approval. It is
said that theiCoal dealers of Philadelphia and othe,r,
places, have been in the habit of giving less weight
when selling coal by the small; than was bargained
for, making it tell heavy upon the poorer portion.
If it is so a law will prevent such an imposition,

THE SUSQUEHANNA RAILROAD CONVENTION met
at Baltimore, on Saturday week, General Simon
Cameron, of Pa., presiding. The delegation from
Pennsylvania was large and intelligent, and is highly,
spoken of by the Baltimoreans. Resolutions were
adopted authorizing the appointment of a perma
nent committee of thirteen citizens of Baltimore to
promote the objects of the Convention, and a me
morial to the Councils of Baltimore, asking their
assistance in the construction of the road, was also
adopted.
SUSPECTED MUDDED .1T READING.—The Reading
Democrat, of Saturday week says Wednesday,
the 3d idst , the dead body of a German pedler, who
suddenly disappeared from the neighborhood of
Bern township, some time last Fall, was lound in
the Schuylkill river, at Felix's Dam. The body
was considerably decayed, end had apparently lain
in the water a long time. It appears that during
the Fall, a Clog which was known to have belonged
to the deceased, was observed for weeks wandering
about in the woods near where the body was dis
covered, howling piteously, and although repeated
attempts were made to shoot him, and drive him
away, still haunting the spot with a pertinacity
which excited the curiosity of the neighbors and
gave rise to suspicion that foul play had befallen
his master. After the body was found, Dr. John
Spartz made an examination, and discovered un
mistakeable marks of a rifle ball. All the circum
stances of this sad case lead to the.beliel that plunder
was the cause of the murder. The villain who
committed the bloody deed could have no other
object than the possession of the valuable watches,
rings, and other jewelry that the pedler was known
to carry with him. He was probably shot near
the spot where the dog already alluded to remained,
and his body, after having been stripped of all his
valuables, dragged to the dain, a mile distant, and
thrown into the water, to obliterate all traces of the
horrible crime.
MURDER IN YORK COUNTY.-YORK, Pa., March

BALTIMORE, March 17.—The Rev. J. S. Gorsuch
a distinguished Methodist Minister, died at Cum
berland yesterday.
THE LET& Annarr.—G. Rand T hompson, the
man whose arrest was mentioned yesterday, has
made an open confession of the principal crimes
committed by him during his evil career, some of
which occurred in this city. In 1837 he robbed a
New York dealer in jewelry, while stopping at the
United States Hotel; then kept by Messrs. Dorrance
& Jones. The value of the jewelry stolen was so
large, that a reward of $5,000 was offered foi its
recovery, and $3OO for the thief. He continued in
the undisturbed possession of the jewelry for several
months, but being arrested for the forgery of treas
ury notes at Washington, he compromised the
robbery with the loser, and voluntarily restored his
plunder. Yesterday, Mr. Thibault, formerly a jew
eller in this city, had an interview with Thompson
at the Adelphi street station house. Mr. Thibault
was robbed by him, in 1947, of $25,000 worth of
jewelry, at a hotel in Louisville, and it was for this
robbery that he was sent to the Frankfort Peniten
tiary. The jewelry was all recovered. Thompson
had served out a sentence of two years in the Mas
sachusetts Penitentiary, for robbing a gentleman
belonging to New Orleans, while at a Boston hotel.
The New York authorities have preferred a claim
upon Thompson, for robbing Michael Pasticalde,
in that city, in 1846, of a large amount of money
and jewelry. He waParrested and indicted for the
offence, but escaped by giving straw bail. The
prisoner is a native of Kentucky, and has a sister
living in this city, and other connections by mar
riage, of the highest respectability.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
HORRIBLE MIIRDEIL-CATHARINE B. P,ASLEII, a
girl only twelve years of age, murdered her little
sister only three years old, near Stewartstown, York
county, on Wednesday of last week, by cutting her
throat with a butcher knife from ear to ear. The
girl who committed the dreadful crime told her
parents (who were absent at the time the affair
occurred) and others, that an old man, a stranger,
committed the deed. She afterward confessed, how
ever, and she is now in the York County jail await
ing her trial.
—The California arrivals are satisfactory. The
packets of the 15th and 18th February, from San
Francisco, brought down for New York $1.500,000
on freight, to which the passengers will probably
add $350,000. These sums, added to the previous
arrival, will put our March receipts in advance of
the corresponding period of last year several hun
dred thousand dollars, although we hear complaints
from the Pacific of the difficulty of procuring the
dust. The mining news, prospectively, looks well,
and further gratifying accounts are given of new
quartz discoveries in Sonora and Grass Valley, the

News Items.
Mn. Enrroa —The following excellent article
will be found in hist week's Express: It is such a
sound iake-off upon one of my communications,
that I think it worthy of republication:
"A great many politicians are terribly in love
With the temperance cause just now, while others
are in great alarm about the Agricultural interest,
—greatly afraid that the farmers will suffer by their
grain .being too heavy to take to market unless
converted into whiskey first,
~Iyhich lightens the
hulk. But the farmervfare not to be gulled in this
way. They think it is not worth while to raise
great crops to pay poor-house and prison expenses,
or for drunken sons and sons-in-law to squander.
They have conic to the conclusion that their grain
'Mall no longer be turned into whiskey,—that
minority who advocate rum and ruin have ruled
long enough, and the majority, who advocate no
runt, and peace and prosperity, shall have a chance
to try their doctrine, for once in the history of the
world."
The first sentence contains a profound truth, as
will be proven by the stupendous efforts of the
Express, aided by that particular class of politicians
known by their black coats, white cravats, peculiar
cant, and a sanctimonious and elongated visage.
Next comes the great claim of the agricultural
interest and the sneer about reducing the bulk and
weight of grain to get to market, &c.; and says, as
a knock-down argument, "the farmers are not to
be gulled. - Now, Ido hope the tillers of the soil
will appreciate his logic.
Let me quote a paragraph from tt history of the
Whiskey Insurrection in this State in 1791-4
Distilling was then esteemed as moral, and as
respectable as any other business. It was early
commenced and extensively carried on in western
Pennsylvania. There was neither home nor foreign
market for rye, their principal crop: the grain
would not bear packing across the mountains. A
horse could carry but four bushels; but he cola.'
take the product of twenty-four bushels in the shape
of alcohol:' The same principle will still apply, as
we only distil in absence of any other market.
When we occasionally have a great foreign demand
our distillers must close for want of profits, as grain
is too, high, and commence again when our overplus
grain becomes a drug to the country; and we are
very glad to turn it into alcohol, or "whiskey, - to
put into the general market at as cheap a rate as
possible.
Will you please notice his most generous and
whole-souled liberality in awarding all the. crime
and misery, the inmates of our prisons ,and poor
houses, to our distilleries.. Is it not rich No
doubt he expects when the Maine Liquor Law
passes we will have no occasion for our poor houses,
and especially our prisons. Oh, gracious! what a
speculation our county would have made, had our
worthy politicians got up this act before the building
of our County Prison: What a pity! Still there
is some consolation in saving the New Court House.
"The Fountain in Centre Square" will take the
place of the old one, and when the good time comes
what a jollification we will have around it and be
come intoxicated with zeal and cold water.
Poor lawyers—no more " nen." I fear their
jaws will fall, heads narrow, and instead of being
" bar members" change to temperance lecturers,
without that " branch oi trade" will become a mo
nopoly, and exclude all other leeches upon society
from reaping the benefits of their labors.
That hint about drunken sons and sons-in-law is
very bright, especially as we all know that farmers
generally are very little troubled with liquor or
drunkenness. Still, sometimes a city fop, with more
hair than brains, may entangle the affections of
some of our rustic daughters, and then our broad
acres have a strong chance of melting into whiskey.
Thia argument would apply "nearer hone than
sending "out to the country." If the editor of the
Express is afraid of his sorts and son -in-law run
ning through his fortune, it is certainly not justice
to ask others to be placed tinder restrictions, who
are not afraid of like danger, and put sufficient con
fidence in their own mode of inculcating moral
principles in the minds of their children without
the aid of law or interference with the rights and
privileges of their neighbors. "X. X."
