AUDITOR GENERAL, EPHRAIM ,BANKS, OF MIFFLIN COUNTY. FOR SURVEYOR GENERAL, J. PORTER BRAWLEY , OF CRAWFORD COUNTY. The Inaugural The Inaugural ad .ress of President Pierce, is be. yond all question one of the most explicit and brit.- liant papers of the kind that has ever been laid be fore the American people. .It is bold and decisive upon every question that will be likely to enter into the policy of tiis administration. He takes hold of the helm of the National Ship with a giant's strength, and is actuated with a fedrlessness and confidence that will at once command the admira tion and approbation of the people.. There is no equivocating or quibbling, but a frank and open avowal of the principles and sentiments that per vaded the ranks of the Democracy of the Union in the -late National struggle. • • When the President elect appeared upon the plat form erected on the east side of the capitol, and af ter the oath of office had been administered to him, he advanced towards the front of the stage and fac ing the thousands before him, delivered , his address extempore with as much -nonchalance as if he had been in the Halls of Congress. The effect of his eloquence and his whole demea nor, electrified the vast concourse of people to such a degree as to produce the most intense enthusiasm. We congratulate the democracy or the country upon the elevation of one of the purest patriots of the day, feeling a confident assurance that we now have at the head of the Government, a disciple of Jefferson; whose course of policy will be such as cannot but redound to the honor and interests of the people of this mighty Union.—Dent. Union. The Clayton—Buhrer Treaty. Mr. CLAYTON, having offered a series of resolu tions in reference to the treaty made by him, while Secretary of State, with the British Minister, Mr. BOLWER, has opened a discussion in the Senate by attempting to delend.himsell against the well mer ited attacks of Gen. Cass artd others. Gen. (2ess having left for Detroit, being suddenly called home by the serious illness of his wife, Senatois Douo- Lass and MASON replied to Mr. CLAYTON, and, from all accounts, bore down very severely upon the po sition taken by the ex-Secretary. The truth of the Matter is, Mr. C. committed a faux paux, and suf fered himself to be completely over reached by the British Minister; and all his efforts to extricate himself from the dilemma in which he was felt by Gen. Cass and others, only places his manage ment of the foreign telations of the Government in esvorse light before the coun'tr'y. It would have been decidedly, better for him to have borne patient ly the well-merited castigation he received, father than seek relief in the way he has done. He re sembles the ntiong man struggling in a morass ; he cannot retreat, and every step forward lie takes only plunges him deeper and renders his con dition more pitiable. The present able and deter med Secretary of State, with the aid of President , PIERCE, will correct the blunders-of his Whig pre decessors in due time. Irr The last Independent Whig, the organ of as corrupt a cabal as could be found any where in Christendom, has opened its batteries - upon Mr. Bite.wzr,z; the Democratic candidate fat Surveyor General, and has evidently ransacked the vocabulary of billingsgate to find terms, sufficiently disgusting . to be in accordance with the groveling taste of the editor, throughr which to express its bitter gialigni ty towards that! gentleman. "Brutish;' "beast," &c., &c., are the terms used to slander and defame a Man who, in almost every &tribute that constitutes a kind neighbor and useful citizen . is as far abovehis slanOerers as night is exceeded day when the ',sun shines in his meridian splendor. We shall attem, , t no reply to such a disgusting tirade of abuse. It is not congenial to our tasfe, nor do we wish to soil our paper by no doing. We rather prefer to let the Whig go on unmolested, floundering in the filth and slime ejected from its own foetid and filthy carcass. Its praise of our candidate would be''bis political death—its abuse is a strong recommendation to the favor of the peo ple. Gen. BRAWLEY is an honest, intelligent and upright citizen, who has filled the office of Survey. or General with marked ability for the last two years, and the peo - ple will re-elect him to the post with an increased majority—the larger because of the outragtous and disgusting assaults Of the aboli• lion press of the State, and larger still and more overwhelming if they continue their abuse through out the campaign. THE NEW SECRETARY .OF THE TREASURT.Pro tecting the Revenur.—We are informed, says the Bal timore Argus, that Mr. Guthrie . , Secretary of the Treasury, has issued an order peremptorily revoking the instructions of Mr. Corwin, by which the hall of a large amount of money collected for violations of the revenue latass, in the shape of penal duties, was about 'to be divided among the officers of the customs at the several ports of entry. This is the first step of the new administration towards check ing the spirit of Galphinism that run riot during Gen. Taylor and Mr. Fillmore's management. The people everywhere will applaud the movement. PELFSIDENT VILLMOILE AND CABINET. — The late Cabinet of President Fillmore, viz: Messrs. Ed ward Everett, Thomas Corwin, A. H. Stuart, C.M. Conrad, John P. Kennedy, T. J. Crittenden and S. D. Hubbard have. addressed a cordial letter to the late President, acknowledging the cordiality whiCh • had been shown them •by His Excellency, with wishes for his health, 4-c., to which he appropriate ly responded, and with equal good feeling. i - THE SUPREME Cocas. or Ortio has decided that Charters tolßanks, (and of course to all other pri vate corripanies,) are not contracts, and may be re pealed like any other law, at the pleasure of the Lezitiatrire r Chief Justice BARTLEY has reviewed the prem.: Court or the United ttat. tw. %,-;;ei.i. of Charters, and declares there., as 4 in the highest Courts mistaken no- ST A7l. t X anagers of the !-„ , ,ie v Harris burg latt the g place for holding f.. : , 28th and 29th day: the time. - • • iltON Tottruncr..—lron will be the great materia boost everything at the proper time.

CANALS : OPENED--The water was let into the Schuylkill and Union Canals on thelst of March. The Cabinet, as announced i our unanimously confirmed by the Senate. Reorganization of the Depart- mentg. The third section' ot the Civil and Diplomatic Appropriation Bill contains in substance the pro visions of the bill framed by Senator Huwrxa for the reorganization of the Executive Departments, and having become a law, will go into:operation at the commencment of the nextAlcal year, July Ist. It requires that the clerks in the Treasury, War Navy, Interior, and Post Office Departments, shall be arranged into four classes. Those in the first class to receive a salary of $900; those in the second $1200; those in the third,-$M00; and those in the fourth, $lBOO a year. The Solicitor of the Trea sury the Comptrollers, Auditors, the Register of the Treasury, the Treasurer, and the Commissioners are provided with chief clerks whosg annual salary is fixed at two thousand dollars; and the Treasury, War, Navy, Interior, and Post Office Deparments with chief clerks whose salary is fixed at 82200 each. Disbursing clerks are to be selected from the clerks of the fourth class. The clerical force provided is :—Five chief clerks of departments; sev enteen chief clerks of auditors, commissioners, &c; onehundred and twenty-nine clerks of the first class! three hundred and thirty of the second; one hundred and ninety-seven of the third, and fifty of the fourth class, making an aggregate of seven hundred and• thirty, at an annual cost of nine hundred and thirty one thousand six hundred dollars. The act of Con gress requires that when the clerks are distributed and arranged in obedience to the directions of the law, they shall constitute the whole of lite perma nent clerical force of the Treasury, War, Navy, In terior, and Post Office Departrner.ts, 'with the ex ception of the Census Bureau, which is not inclu ded in the new arrangement. The clerks tempo rarily employed in the office of the Third Auditor, on bounty land service and arrearages of pay, are also excluded. The head of each department may if he finds it to be necessary and proper, alter the the distributipn of the different classes of clerks amongst the various bureaus and offices in his de partment, which provision does not permit an al teration in the number in'each class, as specified by the . law. The *act contemplates greater certainty in obtaining competent officers by requiring an ex amination into their qualifications. That to end it provides that no clerk shall be appointed in either of the lour classes until he has been examined and found qualified by a board, to consist of three per sons—one of them to be the chief of the bureau or office in which it is contemplated to employ him, and the other two to be appointed by the head of the department having control of such bureau or office. Any receipt of compensation for extra ser vices other than the prescribed salary, is expressive ly forbidden but the disbursing cterks shall receive; such an , addition to their regular salaries as will make their compensation two thousand dollars a year.—Philadelphia Sun. Our Candidates THOMAS H. FORSYTH, our candidate for Canal Commissioner, has been known heretofore in public life. We copy the following notice of his merits from the Harrisburg Union : Mr. F. has been a member of the House of Rep resentatives for several years, a member of the county board, and a member of the Senate for six years, and during all that time he has been as con sistent to.democratic principles, and as faithful to the organization of the party, as the needle to the pole. In Philadelphia city and county, his popular ity is unbounded, and during the long time that he has occupied a seat in the Legislature of Pennsyl vania, he has made hosts of warm and ardent friends throughout the entire extent of the State. He was brought up to a mechanical profession, which he followed for many years with great success; and whilst he has been in public life he has shown him self to be a man well calculated to fill any public station. His practical skill fine business habits, and extensive acquaintance with the varied interests of Pennsylvania, eminently fit him for the important and responsible office which his democratic fellow citizens have determined that he shall fill. EISITIADI BANKS, the present Auditor General, who has been re-nominated for that office, has proved heretofore an efficient public officer. No office in the gilt of the people requires greater vigilance or more spotless integrity. It is needless to add that Mr. Banks has shown himself to be, in every man ner, qualified for the trust. Mr. BIIAWLEY, the present Surven9oeneral, is a . . resident of Meadville,Crawford County. He gradu ated at Allegheny College in 1840, in a class then peculiarly distinguished for the talent of its mem bers, many of whom have since filled important po litical stations in our own and other States. Mr. Brawley is a radical Democrat and a gentleman of most benevolent feelings. He has met with some opposition. No Democrat in Crawford County ever was exempt from it. It is a part of the system of tactics in that section, to prefer the election of a Whig to that of the regularly nominated Democratic candidate ; and it has been somewhat surprising that Mr. Brawley should have escaped the fate of three good Democrats who were successively made the victims of personal mall% His election to the State Senate shows his popularity at home, at a pe riod when this species of private revenge was at its lull height. We predict for him a triumphant majority.—Pittsburg Union. AN Assay OFFICE AT NEW Yons..—Congress, in the hurly.burly of adjourning, allowed the New Yorkers to smuggle through an appropriation in one of the bills. $lOO,OOO, to establish an Assay Office in that city. On the passage of the bill, with this item inserted, there was loud -crowing by the New Yorkers—and, the exclamation, "Now we've got 'm," resounded through the House! They re gard it as an entering wedge for a Branch Mint; but others think that it is only the successful be ginning of the movement to get the Parent Mint, itself there. The business of this Assay Office, is to have the golsl arriving there in its rough state, cast into bars, slugs, or ingots, of specified values. These New Yorkers—every observing man must say—are the most grasping, impudent, knavish set of business men in the world—the Chinese, only, Perhaps excepted. THE WHEELING BRIDGE.-A motion has been filed in the Supreme Court of the United States, by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and the coon 'eel .of the State, asking for an order to the Marshal to execute the decree of the . Court, and also for an attachment against the officers, man agers, and stockholders for not complying with the decree of the Court. The argument of this motion will bring up the question as to the effect of the act of Congress, declaring the bridge a post road. The day for argument has not yet been assigned by the Court. ?lam The Legal Intelligencer of February 26th con tains an able opinion by Judge Lewis, in relation to the effect of endorsing a promissory note, over due. The Judgt. decides:—" Tqat the endorsement of a note over due, is equivalent to drawing a new bill payable at sight, upon which the endorser is liable, only, upon proof of a demand upon the maker within a reasonable time, and immediate no tice of the default." And:he refers to a. number of decisions made in the Courts of other States, as well as in those of ADAM AND EV . r..—By reference to an advertise ment in an other column, it will be perceived that Dubuff's original painting of Adam and Eve in Paradise, is being exhibited during the present week, at the Mechanic'slnstitute, in this City. This is said to be one of finest paintings in the world, and was executed for Charles X. of France. Our citizens should all embrace the opportunity of see ing this splendid production of Art. ILLinott ear. nr.o. vestv.—A bill in relation to free persons olcolor has been passed by both branch es'of the Illinois Legislature. It prohibits the en trance of free colored persons into the State, under the penalty of being Hold into slavery, and author izes the admission of slavery if brought in or sent ifi by their masters. The Cabinet. From a brief, but accurate and well•written bi ogiaphical sketch of the new Cabinet, in the New Hampshire Patriot, we gather the following items, which will be interesting to our readers: WILLIAM L. Mom:, the Secretary of State, is about 67 years of age: He served as a volunteer in the war of 1812, and assisted in taking the first flag and first prisoners on land in that war. In 1821 he was appointed Adjutant General of New York, and in 1824 Comptroller of the Treasury.— Alter several years' service in this capacity, he was appointed one of the Supreme Judges of the State. He remained upon the bench but two years, when he was elected to the United States Senate. He took his seat on the fourth of March, 1832, and the succeeding fall was elected Governor of New York, which post be held for six years. On the fourth of March, 1845, he was appointed by Presi dent Polk Secretary of War, in which capacity, as I all our readers will recollect, he distinguished him self above most, if not all of his predecessors in that department. For the last four years he has been in private lite. He ie a statesman of enlarged and liberal views—of undpubted talents and great energy, and will conduct the foreign affairs of the government in such a way as cannot fail to be ac ceptable to the country. JAMES GUTHRIE, Secretary of the Treasury, is in the 61st year of his age. He is one of the most eminent lawyers of Kentucky, has much experi ence as a legislator, having served sixteen years in the Legislature of the State. He possesses indom itable energy, great vigor of mind, and remarkable industry, and is therefore peculiarly qualified to fill with ability the post assigned him. His known aversion to extravagant expenditures, and his bold and manly character, are ample guaranties that he will soon put a stop to that system of Galphinism which has for tour years past been practiced in'the department over which he now presides. ROBERT McCcar..LAND, Secretary of the Interior, is a native of Franklin county, in this State, and a graduate of Dickinson College, at Carlisle. He studied law, and removed to the then Territory of Michigan soon after his admission to the bar. He was a member of the Convention called to form a constitution for a State government—elected to the State Legislature in 1838, where he continued four years, the last of which he was the Speaker of that body. He served in Congress from 1843 till 1849. In 1850 he was elected Governor, and re-elected in 1850, which pdst he has resigned to accept a Cab inet appointment under President Pierce. Governor McClelland is yet in the prime of life-46 years of age—and will make a very able and popular Sec retary. JELYEnSOIP DANIS, the Secretary of War, is about 47 years of age. Eminent as a statesman and dis tinguished as a soldier—a man of superior talents and of thorough education, of unsullied integrity, great energy and firmness—he combines in a high degree all the essential 'qualifications for the posi tion to which he has been called. He was educat. ed at West Point, and joined the Army as a Lieu. tenant ; remained in the Army a number of years, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, when he resigned his commission. He was afterwards elected to Congress, where he served six or eight yearn with great distinction, and was universally regarded as one of the ablest men in that body.— He resigned his seat when the Mexican war broke out, went home to Mississippi, raised.a regiment of Volunteers, was chosen its commander, and joined the army of Gen. Taylor. No n officer of that army army did more gallant service or won more deserved honor than Col. Davis. In the famous battle of Buena Vista, in particular, Davis and his gallant ri- Semen were conspicuous for their daring courage, and contributed more, perhaps, than any other corps, to the triumphant result of that hard-fought battle, as the official reports abundantly testify. He was severely wounded in that engagement, which ren dered him a cripple fora long time. Soon after he was appointed Brigadier General by President Polk, but the severity of his wound prevented further ac tive participation in the war. After his return from Mexico, he was elected to the U. S. Senate, and re elected in 1350. He resigned in 1851. His expe rience as a soldier has made him familiar with the entire organization of the Army, its imperfections and its wants—an indispensable qualification in an efficient head of the War Department. JAMES C. DOBBIN, the Secretary of the Navy, is 39 years of age. He was elected, in 1845, one of the members of Congress from North Carolina, and re-elected in 1847, and distinguished himself as an able, eloquent and zealous supporter o f President Polk's administration. He is one of the most prom ising men of his State, and we do not doubt will make a most efficient member of the new Cabinet. JAMES CAMPBELL, Postmaster General, is in the 40th year of his age, and is a native of Phil adelphia. His father emigrated from the north of Ireland, in the latter part of the last cen tury. Judge Campbell, after a thorinigh edu cation, was admitted to the Philadelphia ;bar in 1834, and continued in successful practice until 1842, when, at the early age of 28, he was appointed a Judge of the Common Pleas of Philadelphia, by Governor Porter, at the urgent solicitation of the entire Democratic delegations in both branches of the Legislature from rhiladelphia county, and was unanimously confirmed by the Senate. He held this post 10 years,discharging its duties with marked abil ity and success. He then became one of the Demo cratic candidates for the Supreme Bench of the State, but was defeated by sectarian bigotry and in tolefance and a corrupt gang of professing Demo crats, Since then he was appointed by Governor Bigler Attorney General of Pennsylvania, and has won for himself a high distinction as an able and learned jurist and an accomplished gentleman.— That he will make a popular and efficient Post master General his past history affords sufficient guaranty. CALEB CEIBEII NG Attorney General, is one of the brightest intellects of the nation. He is about 53 years of age, and universally conceded to be one of the ablest lawyers in the country. He served in the State Legislature of Massachusetts, was eight years in Congress, Minister to China in 1843, and appointed by President Polk a Brigadier General in the Mexican war. He was twice the Democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, and, at the time of his selection as a Cabinet officer by President Pierce, held the office of Supreme Judge of that Commonwealth. His brilliant talents, ex tensive legal information, and eminent forensic abil ities will enable him to discharge the important duties of his office in such a way as will add to his own fame and the credit of the administration. These eminent Cabinet officers, it is understood, cordially concurred in the noble INsuouriAL An- Dams of the President, and thus the administra tion will act as a unit on its broad national princi ples. The head of such a Cabinet is one whose an tecedents indicate that he will take the responsibil ity of acting, not simply as a co-equal in his cabi net, but as its presiding officer—as the PRESIDENT 01 , THE UNITED STATES. This is the position which the voice of the people has assigned to him, and there is every sign to indicate that he means to fill, it. Such is the government under which the nation will elevate its character, extend its power, and advance onward in its destiny. DISCOVERY OP GOLD IN VIRGINIA.—We learn from the Lynchburg (Va.) Express that a few days ago a party of hunters, engaged in digging after a fox, which had burrowed in a cliff on Pine creek, discovered a vein of quartz mingled with a yellow mineral. A specimen of the mineral was sent to Mr. Scott, a silversmith, in Jacksonville, who, at ter assaying it, pronounced it gold. The vein is eight feet wide, eleven inches thick, and of un known length. A solid foot of the quartz will yield, upon an average, sixteen dollars. The for tunate owner of the cliff is Mr. J. Epperly. President Pierce Never has a public address been presented to the people of this country which his met a more cor dial and unanimous acceptance than the inaugural of President Pierce. The Washigton Republic (whig) says : "We cannot withhold from the President our grateful acknowledgments for the entire absence of party animosity in his inaugural discourse ; it breathes the spirit of the sovereign whom a greM English writer pictured to himself as the great beau ideal of chiel magistrates—one who shoult Mot be the King of Wbigs, nor the King .of Tories, but the King of England.' " The Intelligencer (whig) says it contains much that is unexceptionable, but the editors add that a few passages contained in it rather startled them. These passages, we presume refer to territorial ac quisitions. The Philadelphia Ledger (independent) says its principles are sound and Democratic in the enlarged and republican sense of that term, and adds : " With these sound views and cardinal principles we may infer a prudent Etna consistent course to be pursued by the new administration, and that the people have confided the government of the Union in safe and upright hands." The Philadelphia Inquirer (whig) pronounces it " eloquent and patriotic." The Bulletin4independent) says— " The new administration, under the guidance of sentiments like these, opens auspiciously for the country. May it continue and end as gloriously.' The N. York Express (whig) says " it is a plain straight-forward, common-sense document, likely to receive the unqualified approval of the country at large." The Journal of Commerce (independent) says "it contains many sound and noble sentiments. In re gard to the compromise measures it is all that could be asked. There-is, however, a winking at the ac quisition of more'territory." The Daily Times (whig) is highly pleased with tt, and says its tone is " manly, its style fresh and its spirit eminently earnest and sincere, and while the spirit of it such as to win for its author the sin cere regard, not unmingled with a friendly sympa : thy, of all his countrymen, the political purposes which he proclaims will meet with an equally hearty, and a scarcely less genial concurrence " But it is useless to multiply extracts, every Amer ican in heart—every lover of the Union approves most heartily of the sentiments advanced by Gen. Pierce. We do not wonder that Horace Greely of the Tribune should denounce it, we would not have it otherwise. We do not wish ever to be united with that oracle of faction and abolitiimism. Let the Tribune continue its abuse, it will only serve to unite the good and the patriotic in the support of Gen. Pierce's administration, as it did in his elec tion. The Trifiune's praise is death, its abuse hon or. We earnestly hope that President Pierce will never be disgraced by the praises of such a journal as the New York Tribune.—Baitimore Argus. Correspondence between President Pierce and the Pennsylvania Legislature. Mr. M'Caslin reported thet the joint committee, appointed to invite President Pierce to visit the capital of Pennsylvania. had discharged their duty and submitted the following invitation and answer : To Franklin Pierce, President elect of,the United States. The undersigned were appointed a joint commit ' tee by the Senate and House of Representative, now in session, to invite you to visit our State Capitol, and to partake of the hospitalities of our people. In performing the agreeable duty' ssigned us by I our respective bodies, wer beg leave to assure you that this invitation proceeds from no desire for dis play or parade, which would be unbecoming the character of those whom we represent, as it must be ungrateful to your feelings, but is prompted by the high estimation in which you are held as a man as well as the exalted position which you occupy by the free suffrages of your fellow citizens. To the unanimous wish of the General Assembly, repre senting as it does the wishes and feelings of the en tire Commonwealth, we add our own earnest solici tations. Hoping it may be in your power. to accept this . invitation from the i 0 Old Keystone" of our happy Union, we leave it with you to designate a time which may test suit your convenience, and sub scribe ourselves most respectfully, Your friends and fellow citizens, M.

C., February 28, .1853 GENTLEMEN have received your favor of.the 25th ult., transmitting to me the vote of the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, inviting me to visit the capitol of the State. I amduly sensible of the signal honor done me by this invitation, and grateful for the kind term 3 in which it has been communicated. At another time and under different circumstances it would have given me the highest gratification to accept such an invitation, and partake of the hospitalities of the warm-hearted people of the " Keystone State." But imperious calls of public duty, and other con ' siderations known to you, have made it necessary for me to decline all invitations of this nature; and compel me reluctantly to refuse myself the present one. • I pray you to communicate this reply, with my grateful salutations, to the Legislative bodies which you represent ; and believe me very respectlsilly, Your obedient servant, FRANKLIN PIERCE.

ORIGINAL PORTRAIT OF WARRINGTON. — The Washington Union calls attention to a portrait of IVesitiNoToN, now on exhibition in the rotunda of the Capitol, which is said to have been iii Philadel phia in the year 1795, by Westmuller, a celebrated German artist, many of whose works—and especi- . ally his portrait of Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, now in the gallery of the King of Sweden —are highly valuable. It is stated that this-por trait was presented by General WARRINGTON to Count Wahrendorff, a Swedish noblemae, who was in this country from 1795 to 1797, and who in tlig in the latter year took the picture with him to Sweden, where it has remained in the possession of the Wahrendorff family, until, upon the recent death of the head of that house, it passed into the hands of the present proprietor, a Swedish gentleman of high character and standing. The picture, which differs in some points from any of the portraits of WAsnixotos which we have seen, is in many r,es, spects a striking and meritoriorious work of art. If its history be what it is stated to be, its restoration to our country at this time is matter of interest and t. gratification. COAL LANDS AND IRON ORE rV SOMERSET COUNTY PA.—The Editor of the Pittsburg Gazette, writing limn Myers' Mille, Somerset county, Pa., states that immense veins of coal abound in that neigh borhood, containing 300 acres oL solid coal, twelve foci thick. This coal land has been lately purcha sed, as a speculation, at $BO per acre, in prospect of the Connelleville Railroad being constructed.— In the same neighborhood there is a vein of iron ore six feet thick, and lime stone abounds. In the neighborhood of Myers' Mills, all the iron needed on the Connelleville road can be advantageously furnished. LOUISVILLE, March 9, P. M.—A terrible tornadO occurred at Clarkeville, Tennessee, on Sunday last. It extended over a tract of country a half mile in width, levelling trees, houses, barnes, and every thing in its path to the ground. Several lives were .jeopardized, but the loss of life and the full extent of damage has not been as certained. In some instances barnes and houses were corn pletely lifted off their foundations, and carried to, a considerable distance. NEW ORLEANS, March 4.--We have received Tampico dates to the 26th ult., by which we learn that that city and the military have pronounced in favor of the return of Santa Anna. The proposi tion made by the government, to restore the old tariff of duties, is resisted by the citizens, who threaten to oppose its execution by an armed for Ce. LEAD PRODUCE or Wiscoxstrr.---The Grant County Herald says the annual amog,nt of lead pro. duced from the Wisconsin lead ming., is about 90,- 000,000 pounds, which at five cents a pound, (a low 'enough estimate now,) amounts to $3,000,000 WRIGHTSVILLE, March 7.—Our canal is now open and the first boat cleared today from this point. No boats. from above have yet come down, but some are expected from Harrisburg this even ing or to-morrow.

The Trustees visited the several locations named in the Report of the Committee on sites for the College Building, and afterwards dis cussed the merits of different sites without coming to a decision as to the location, some favoring a location to the East, some to the West, some to the North of the town, and oth ers a place in town. The decision upon a site was deferred to the adjourned meeting of the. Board on the 3rd Tuesday of April next, and , the committee,on sites continued. The former action of the Board relative to the time of opening Franklin & Marshall Col lege was reconsidered, and it Wild resolved that the first session of Franklin & Marshall Col lege shall open in Lancaster on the 2nd Wed nesday in Nay, and'a committee of five, viz : Messrs. Atlee, Heitshue, Gast, James L. Rey nolds and N.

Correspoudence of tie Boltimore Argus WASHINGTON, March 7, 1852. Effect of the lnaugural—Recetption of Pierce—The Cabinet—Strangers in Washington—Removals, y. Never, in the history of all our Presidential com mencements, have the inauguration ceremonies and the inaugural address passed off better. or been bet ter received than those of President Pierce. The occasion of the inauguration was in all respects worthy, and befitting this Republican nation. There was no needless parade—no vain show—no aristo- ' cratic pomp or royal glitter. It was all plain, sim ple, Democratic,:grand. It wasthe . majesty of the peo ple fulfilling their high missi'on—the noblest kind of majesty on the face of the earth. All parties are vieing with each other in praises of. the Inaugural of our President. The old Whig Cabinet and the Intelligencer hold back a little— doubtless for good and sufficient reasons—but the great masses of men of all parties ale strong and decided in commendation of this remarkable docu ment. ‘ Old America and Young America—the real Hunliert and the real Barnburners—the Union men and the States' rights men—join hands together in upholding the conservative, progressive spirit, the unionism and independence which so mark and adorn and dignify this first address of our Demo cratic Chief Magistrate. 'Gentlemen, is he pot all our fancy makes him? The Cabinet, as you have probably learned, ere this, was instantly and unanimously confirmed by the Senate. There was not the slightest objection to eny mem ber; there was not even a committee of reference appointed; but the whole Council was confirmed in less than five minutes! Surely this a good omen. It looks as if the spirit of wisdom and of a sound mind Would be im parted to our Senators, and that they would show no factious opposition to the national measures of the Pierce administration. Tl.e crowd of strangers in the city is certainly very large. But I must do them the justice to say that thus - far they behave with' great delicacy and propriety. It is very certain that the removals will be very extensive. Indeed, it cannot be otherwise. The same thing would have been done, had Scott come hro power; and the opposition—l call it the oppo sition, for here is really no longer any Whig party —has no good grounds for predicting or expecting anything else. WASHINGTON, March S.—The superior officers of the Army present in Washington, waited upon the new Secretary of War, in lull uniform this morning, agreeably to usage. Gen. Davis received them politely, and accompanied them to the White House, and presented them to President Pierce. The officers of the Navy, in full dress, also called upon the Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Dobbin, who likewise accompanied them to the White House, and presented them to President Pierce. Alter exchanging compliments and congratula• tions, the officers, joined by the Chiefs of the Bu reaux of their Departments, repaired to Mr. Fil - more's rooms, at Willard's,Hotel, and took a friend ly leave of him. Besides appointing Peter G.Washington, Esq., as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the President has nominated and the Senate has confirmed Silah R. Bobbie as First Assistant Postmaster-General, and has restored Charles Eames, late Assistant Editor of the Union, to the POI of Assistant Sec retary of State. He has also nominated Willis A. ,Gorman, late member of Congress from Indiana, to be Commissioner General of the Land Office. The Gardiner case came up to-day for trial, ho was postpone , ) until Thursday, the prosecution no being in attendance. AIETRODISN IN THE UNITED STATEN—The Ed itor of the Zion's Herald takes the following view of the progress of Methodism in this country. He "American Methodism is not yet a century old. In the incredibly short space of eighty-seven years it has built for thousand two hundred and twenty churches, (which is a little less than one for every week of her existence,) at a cost of fourteen mil lions seven hundred and thirty thousand five hun dred and seventy-one dollars/ It has also erected and endowed its colleges and numerous academies with large sums. It has built innumerable parson ages, and supplied itself with Church and Sabbath school literature. Now, most of these churches, having been newly erected, rebuilt, or remodeled, and mosruf these vast outlays . having been made within the ]aat quarter of a century, we think it no exaggeration to estimate the expenditures of Meth odism. in the United States for horns purposes at an average - very little short of one million of dol lars per annum for the last twenty-years • in addi tion to that, it has paid for the support of its min istry." Election in Massachusetts, 4.:.—Asahel Hunting ton, Whig, and a Whig Board of Aldermen were elected in Salem yesterday. 572 towns have elect ed 140 Whigs and 223 oppositionists, as delegates to the State Constitutional Convention. BOSTON, March 9.—A comet was discovered at Harvard Observatory last evening, by C.W.Tuttle. It is situated about five degrees south of the bright star Rigel. Public Acts, BOSTON, March 9 Extra Session of U. S. Senate. WASHISGTON, March Bth. SENATE.—The Senate:metat the usual hour, and was opened with prayer. Mr. Morton desired the Senate to proceed to the 'consideration of his resolution, authorizing the pay ment of per Beim and mileage to Mr. Yulee, but gave way to. Mr. Clayton. who called up his resolutionasking information of the State Department, respecting the conflicting claims of Great Britian'and the State of Honduras, to the Bay Islands. Mr. Clayton spoke at some length in defence of his course while Secretary of State, in the negotia tion of the Clayton and Bulwer treaty, and lo reply to the strictures of idr. Cass its reference :hereto. The usual committees for the short session were then appointed. The committees are very nearly the same as those of the last session, and are intended to by , merely temporary. Mr. Clayton continued his remarks, going into a history of the •6alize, and showing, the country to which it formerly belonged—that it never be , , longed to Guatemala but Yucatan—and justifying the treaty trade with Mr. Bulwer. He ridiculed the idea of an Indian King reigning on the Mos. quito territory. The Senate, before Mr. Clayton had concluded his remarks, went into Executive Session for a short time and then adjourned. There was nothing done in Executive Session of importance. • ESCAPE OF A. PRISON ER FRONI THE JAI L OF Scan rLI ILL COUNTE.—Aaron B. Brown, confined in jail at Pottsville, for robbing the jewelry estab lishment of Mr. Heaton during last tall, on Friday night last made his escape in a daring and ingeni ous manner. For some time, Brown had been en gaged at weaving, and with yarn given him had, manufactured a rope and ladder. By some means he had procured a spike gimlet, and some lime.— With the gimlet he effected a hole through the ceil ing at - his cell, and thus made his escape to the root the building. The appearance of this aperture would indicate that he had a cery laborious task, for the joist is almost entirely perforated by the gimlet. This was accomplished by night, for a blacking hox'cover was found which had been used for a lamp, and a piece of .muslin was also dicov ered with which he had covered the hole during (lay light—white washing it over in such a man ner as to deceive the most scrutinous. With his rope, knotted at intervals of about two feet, he de scended from the roof to the yard, which is enclo sed by a wall about twenty feet high and two thick. This would appear to many an insurmount able barrier to fugitives, but Brown. (we must give him credit for his ingenuity,) was equal to it. The ladder he used for the purpose of scaling these walls, was constructed with a hook at one end, (made from a portion of his Jonah) which wan thrown and fastened in the covering of the wall—and Mr. Brown t:. us made his escai,e. Nothing has since been heard of him. Mr. Krebs offers a re-' ward of 51.50 for his apprehension. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.—We are again called upon to record another fatal accident, which occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad above New ton Hamilton. It appears that the through Ireight train, to which were attached two emigrant cars, was coming east, and ia hen in the big cut above Newton Hamilton they run out of luel, and had to stop. The conductor, whose name is Wm. Mercer, took the lantern and went back for the purpose of giving the signial. A nee proceeding as far as the bridge below Montt Union. he set himself down in the cabin and fell asleep. The passenger train, also coining east, and running at the rate of 30 miles an hour, ran into the emigrant cars, breaking the first one all to pieces; the second car was lilted com pletely up and lodged on the top of the engine.— Two passengers, said to be drovers, were instantly killed; three men, a woman and n child, also pas sengers, 'were so badly scalded that they cannot possibly recover. The engineer of the passenger train was also slightly injured. We were unable to learn the names of any of the persons hurt. The train which was due here at four o'clock yesterday morning, in consequence of the accident, was de tained until six o'clock last evening. P. S.—Since writing the above we learn that nine persons injured have died.—Harrisbung Item, 5111: Pnovinr.scE . , March 8 HIGHLY INTERESTING FROM CAFFRAIIIA.-By the bark Corsair, at this port !torn Mozambique, we have Cape Town papers to the 4th of January. The Cape Town Mad, to the 4th, contains ac counts of a severe fight, in which 6,000 Basutos, armed horsemen, were routed by about 1900 Brit ish. • The chief, Morhesh, had agreed to deliver 10.000 head of cattle and j,OOO horses, as a tine for the depredations which he had committed in the colo nists. He failed to comply with his engagements, and the Governor advanced into his territory to seize the cattle. The Bosutos defended their prop erty, and although the British at one time captured ° 30,000 head, they were compelled to abandon all , but 6,000 head. The Basutos, however, were over thrown, and the next day the chief sued for peace. The conflict lasted from morning till Y o'clock in the evening. The British loss was thus: -eight killed and fifteen wounded. The loss on the other side was much greater. 1:G" General Anastasius Bustamente, a name well known in the past history of the Mexican Republic, is no more, the latest advives from Vera Cruz ap prising us of his death. In 1852, Bustamente was a candidate against Vittorio for the Presidency, but was defeated. Subsequently he was a 'candidate for the same office against Pedraza, but with no better success. Events, however, soon afterwards made him Vice President, and in that position he remain ed, until a movement on the pact of Santa. Anna made it prudent for him to quit the office and leave the country—thereupon going to France. Santa Anna, next a captive at San Jacinto, Bustamente was re-called, and made President, which office he held till 1842, when he was again succeeded by Santa Anna. Since that time Bustamente had ta ken but little part in the public service, beyond those party intrigues which appear to be an insep arable element from a Spanish politician. ONE HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR. - "A Mains Yankee" announces, through the National Intel ligencer, the invention of a form of road and im proved locomotive, which, he says, will safely transport the mails and passengers at the rate of one hundred miles an hour! The writer further says he has been made acquainted with the details of these improvements, " which are so palpably correct in theory, and so feasible in practice, that every civil engineer and railroad man will, on ex amination, at once recognise and admit, as the din ideratum, even to the extent of safety and speed above indicated." The next Congress, it is said, is to be invited to-secure its adoption, and give to the ` wyrid the result of the first experiment. ifsannul:ma, March 9.—The Convention for the adoption of measures for the establishment of a State Agricultural College, re-assembled this after noon, in the Senate Chamber, and appointed Messrs. John Strohm, Simon Cameron, and others, a com mittee to draft a bill to' be presented to the Legis lature for the establishment of such an institution and then adjourned. The subject was finally discussed by the Conven tion, and great unanimity- existed in relerence)to the object, which is held to be at the present time specially urgent, while a new and lively interest is felt in promoting the science of agriculture. Nsw Yonx, March I.—The steamer Georgia, with the California mails and two and three quay tees of a million of dollars in specie, arrived here this morning. Her dates from California are to the Ist ult:, and have been anticipated. Book Notices " BEATRICE j OR, THE UNKNOWN RELATIVES," by Catharine Sinclair. is the title of a new relig ious novel, for which we arc indebted to De Witt & Davenport, 156 Nassau at., N. Y. It contains nearly 400 pages of closely printed matter, and is furnished at 75 cents per copy. We•have not had leisure to read its contents, and therefore cannot speak of its merits or demerits. We are also under obligations to the same 'pub lishers for a copy of ‘RUTITGARNETT, OR THE LOVES OF THE EARL OF ROCHESTER," by William H. Ainsworth. It is a work of 224 pages, price 50 cents, and from the cursory glanco we have given its contents, we think it is many degrees above the standard to which the popular novels of the day seem of late to have fallen. It is very neatly Printed, and will no doubt have a good run. THE 'EDINBURG REVIEW, for January, from the re-print of Messrs. Leonard, Scott & Co., N.Y . ( rk, is on our desk. The contents aro as follows: • • . - Bunsen's Hippolytus and his Age. Jervis' History of Corti' and the lonian Islands Saul of Tarsus. - • • Hungarian Revolution. Cathedral Reform.' The Indian Army. Montalembert. Mrs. Jameson's Legends of the Madonna The Fall of the Derby Ministry. THE WEEKLIES ILLUSTRATED trews.—The number for last week, is a most admirable one.
