FOR CANAL COMMISSIONER MENRIIr S. MOTT O OF PIS.F. COUNTY. Col. Henry S. Mutt. This gentlemen, who is now the Democratic candidate for Canal Commissioner, is an honest, in telligent and unwavering Democrat of the glorious old 'Tenth Legion.' He was sleeted Sheriff ,ot Pike county in 1838, by nearly two to one; but the Rit• dynasty, on the principle of treating 'elections as though they had never been held,' commissioned 'jai Whig opponent who was the lowan on the re turn I The people were indignant, and, as a COQ sequence, the very neat year Col. Mcrrr was eleci ed Prothonotary and Cierk of the Courts, with but eighty votes against him in the entire county, and reelected by an overwhelming majority 842. In 1851 he was elected a member of the Legisla ture tram Pike and Monroe counties, without op. position, and re-ejected by a nearly unanimous vote in 1852. In 1853 he was prominently before the State Convention kir the office of Canal Commis. eioner—but as the eastern section of the State claimed the moll, Mr. Forsyth was nominated. His merits and the claims of his district were not for gotten, however, and , at the State Convention of the Bth inst., he received the nomination over all his worthy competitors, on the second ballot, and was thereupon unanimously declared the nominee of the Democratic party for the ensuing campaign That he will be elected by: an old fashioned Jack son majority, is beyond doubt or'peradventure—and we think we hazard nothing in predicting that he will make an honest, energetic and popular Canal Commissioner. The Whig State Convention Met at Harrisburg, on Wednesday last, and nom• inated, on the third ballot, Hoh. jamis Pox.Loos., of Northumberland county, for Governor. For Judge of the Supreme Court, they nominated Hon beirtar. M. Sterne, of Montgomery, formerly of. Adams county—and for Canal Commissioner,GEo. Dam; Esq., at present a Senator from Allegheny _county. The ticket is emphatically a weak one—one of the very weakest ever placed before the people 01 Pennsylvania—and will be beaten' by .more than 20,000 majority. Mr. Pollock, it is true, is consid ered a popular man in his own county and district; but, out oi that, he will fail to command the lull vote of his own party. As to Messrs. Smyser and Darsie, they will be nowhere after the elention. They can not get the party vote even in their own districts, much less can they do so over the State. The Dem ocrats will have an easy victory next fall. The Convention adopted a resolution strongly denunciatory of the Nebraska bill—also one in fa vor of the sale of the public works of the Com- monwealth New Hampshire. The election in this State, which took place on Tuesday last, was warmly and closely contested— so much so, as to render it uncertain whether the Democrats or Coalitionists will haven majority on joint ballot in the Legislature. This is important, as, at the next session, there will have to be two U. S. Senators elected in place of Meagre. Norris 'and Williams. Mr. Bs n, the Democratic can didate, is elected• Governor by over 1500 majority. irr A correspondent of the Easton Aigua is very severe on Senator BRODHEAD, for sustaining the amen:ment offered to the Nebraska bill by Mr. Clayton—and says, the bill as amended 'excludes foreigners from the privileges allowed to them in every other territorial bill, and is highly prejudicial to their interests.' He says further, that Mr. B. was 'the only North ern Senator who voted for Mr. Clayton's amend ment,' and without his vote it could not have been carried. The following is the concluding paragraph of the communication: What will our German and other foreign popu , lotion in Pennsilvania think of Mr. Brodhead after this infamous course upon his part? That he of all our Northern Senators, snould be the only per ., eon to sole for Mr. Clayton's amendment, is a sure indication of his want of judgment, or of his moral obliquity and Intention to do a wilful wrong; the truth in either cane being sufficient to damn the chiracter of a better man. Coattecnos.—We see it stated in several of our exchanges, that JACO . II S. Roar'', one of the dele• gates from this county to the IThmocratic State Convention, cast his vote on the second ballot against Col. 'Mott, for Canal Commissioner. This is in error. Mr. Roath, with all his colleagues from Lancaster county, voted for .I.Ylott on both ballots. fIT We have another letter from our attentive correspondent at St—Louis,. giving among other items, detailed and graphic account of the burn ing of the steamer Caroline. and terrible loss of life on the White River, a notice of which apiears in another column, but it came to hand too late for insertion this week. By the way could not 'Old Guard' mail his letters ore day sooner, an, in that case, we would be able to publish' them a week earlier. lc:7'Previous to the assembling of the Whig State Convention, the Independent Whig, of this city, was out fLt-footed against making any nominations from that party, preferring to get out a volunteer Democratic candidate, acme gentleman ofeacy po litical virtue, for each of the three State offices.— Wunder what Mr. Fenn will say now, since the Convention has placed in nomination three of the most uncompromising Federalists in the Common wealth, real wool-dyed and hard' Silver Greys at that 7 We shall see what we shall see.

An Important Message. • The following special Message, in referencel l to, the. Black Warrior affair, at .Cuba , has been sent into Congress by; President haulm. It elicits warm commendation from the press of all parties; Indis . a truly patriotic'and spirited:document: . To the House of Represen tatives: In compliance with the resolution of the House of Representatives of the 10th instant, 'I herewith transmir - a report of the Secretay of State, cent taimng all the information' received at the depart ment in relation to the seizure of the Black War hot on the 28th ultimo. There have been, in the course of a new years put; many other instances of aggression upon our' commerce, violations of the tights of American citizens, and insults to the national flag, by the Spanish authorities in Cups, and all attempts to obtain redreis have led to pro tracted,„and atryet fruitless, negotiauoi 3 s. The doe umeuts in these cases are voluminous, and, when prepared, will be sent to Cougreis. Those now transmitted relate exclusively to the seizure of the Black Warrior, and present so clear a clue of wjoug that it would oe reasonable to expect full indemnity therefor as soon as this unjustifiable and offensive conduct shall be known to ner Catholic Majesty!, governinent, but similar expectations in otter cues have not been realized. The offending pa rty is at onr doors, with large powers for ag. gression, but none, it is alleged, for reparation. The source of redreis is in another hemisphere, and the answers to'our just complaints made to the home government are but the repetition of excuses, rendered by inferior officials to their-su periors, in rep.) , to representations of misconduct. The peculiar situation of the parties has, undoubt edly, much aggravated the annoyances and injuries which our citizens have suffered from the Cuban authorities, and Spain does not seem to appreciate in its lull extent her responsibility for the conduct of these authorities. In giving very extraordidary powers to them, she owes it to justice and to her friendly relations with this government to gOard with great, vigilance against the exorbitant exer cise of these powers, and, in case of injuries, to provide for prompt redress. I have already taken meatures to present to the government of Spain the wanton injury of the Cu. ban authorities ,n the detention and seizure of the Black Warlior, and to demand immediate indem nity for the injury which has thereby resulted to our citizens. In view of the position of the island of Cuba, its proximity to our coast, the relations which it must ever bear to onr commercial and other interests, it is vain to, expect that a series of uniriendly acts, infringing our commercial rights, and the adoption of a policy threatening the honor and se curity of these States, can long consist with peace ful relations. In case the measures taken for amicable adjust ment of our difficulties with Spain should unfortu nately fail, 1 shall not hesitate to use the authbrity and means which Congrest may grant to insure he observance of our just rights, to obtain redress for injuries received, and to vindicate the honor of our flag. In anticipation of that contingency, which ?earnestly hope may not arise, I suggest to Congress the propriety of adopting suchprovisional measures as the exigency may seem to demand. FRANKLIN PIERCE. Washington, March 15, 1854. I.XXIEnd Congress—First Session. WASEIHGTON, March 2. Szfrezz.—Alter reading the Journal of yester'day's eroceedings, Mr. Pratt presented a memorial from the citizens of Baltimore, numerously signed, praying - for an appropriation for improving the navigation of the Patapsco river, which was appropriately referred to a special committee. Mr. Everett presented a monster memorial, sign ed by'three thousand and fifty clergymen, remon strating against the passage of the Nebraska bill. Mr. Douglas made some remarks in which he denounced the memorialists ad impugned their motives. He characterized their sycophantic oppo' sition to the present measure as a breach of faith anb denounced those who suspected his motives as base cowards, and were lake, gotten up by design ing men for political effect. Mr. Houston replied eloquently and defended the right of petition. It was evident that the peti tioners believed there was something radically wrong in the Bill. He had, he said, seen nothing so monstrous in the memorial. He had himself upon the floor of the Senate, denounced the Bill as a flagrant breach of faith towards the ladleful and towards the Compromise Treaty, and had predict ed excitement in reference to it. When three thousand ministers of the living God thus solemnly protest against the bill, I would ask said Mr. H. is there .no excitement. There will sure be more of it yet, This is by no• means the end, but only a small beginning of what we ere to expect. It is a matter of deep seriousness. Sirs we are bound to respect these remonstran• ces—they can come from no higher goatee. It is almost miamous to spnrn such petitions. liiiuss. 4 —The House alter reading the journal, proceeded to bnsiness. Mr. Appleton presented the great clergymen petition 01 over 3,OUU signers, measuring two hun• dred and filly leet in length, against the Nebraska bill. Mr. Boyce objected. • The Haase then passed a joint resolution aapla• natory of the law regulating the number of Cadets ai the West Point Military Academy. Alter several ineffectual attempts to go into Committee 01 the Whole, the Wisconsin railroad bill was taken up and discuased. New Counterfeits.

LEAGUE OP FOREIGN POWERS AGAINST THE IT STATxs.--Despatcbes received at Washington, from Paris and Madrid, and iniormation received Irom other quarters, leave little doubt that the French+, and Spanish, and British Governments have enter ed into engagements which amount to a defensive league against the United States, of which the fine object is to guarantee the possession of Cuba to Spain, and the second to defend the integrity of Mexico. The plan by which the latter object is to be effected, is to surrender to Santa Anna the British province of Honduras, and to extend to Mex ico the advantages of a joint British and French Protectorate. Santa Anna has acted under the ad vice of his new allies, in selling to the U.. States, at' a round price, the territory embraced in the Gads den Treaty, and they acquiesce in the necessity of parting with Lower California, and the Northwest portion ot Sonora, for the additional aura of ten millions ot dollars, as proposed by the contempla ted amendment of Dr. Gwin to the treaty. The boundaries established on the North by the treaty, and on the South by the transfer of the British claims to the northern districts of Central America, are to be guarantied by the power of the three Eu ropean Governments, which also combine for the protection of Cuba and Porto Rico against the U. States. QT The following applications for new coun ties are now before the Legislature: "Madison'—out of Beiks, Chester and Montgo mery. 'Conemaugh'—out ot Westmoreland, Somerset ndiana and Cambria.

The Washington Union. m Tue . :day; gives the following extract of a leiter from a distinguished - American patriot in London to his friend in Waitt ington. It will be read withintereil by ? all who ars interested in the successful spread of :Sound re publican views: .- • Lona's HOTZT r y New illtian SMUT! February 24,1854. • The simplicity of our institutionstand customs at home has had a proud triumph within the last week, at the pompous court of this' aristocratic metropolis. It will be recollected that at the open ing of Parliament, the American Minister was in vited to be present at the ceremonies of the occa sion, but in plain robe. The invitation was declined, under the duties imposed upoa our representative by the eminently judicious instructions issued by Mr. Marcy in June last. This subject immediate ly engaged the attention of the public mind and the press, and, on the 10th inet., Mr. Roebuck; one of the ablest members of either branch ot Parlia ment, called the attention 01 Lord. John Russel to it in the session ot the Lommons of that day, and demanded an explanation as to the cause of the iili sence of the Minister 'at the time; referred, to or, rather, whether it proceeded from the chancier ot the information transmitted to him. The reply of Lord John was by no means satisfactory. ' The matter now assumed a high degree of importance, becoming a topic of as general conversation as the Eastern question. With the exception ot a few sti: pendaries of the crown—courtiers who value their position according to the quantity of gold embroi dery it enables them to put on;—eeery body ap plauded the resolute purpose of Mr. Buchanan to carry the wishes of his government into execution. Thouseinds of the beet-bred men of the realm, who had never been presented to her Majesty becluise they would not sink themselves ICI low in their own esteem as to put on the livery of her servants, rejoiced in the reform which the United States, in performing their natural character, wee calculated to effect. The ministry soon became aware of the sentiments of indignation which had amens and were arising at its absurd pretension of attempting to prescribe the dress of the representative of one of the first powers of the earth; and, accordingly, Mr. Buchanan was invited' to dine with the Queen on the 20th, and to attend her levee on the 22d, with the omission of the requisition as to the cos tume in which he shoold appear. On both those occasions be was in attendance, apparelled pie cisely as he would have been at a President's din ner and reception—in a plain suit of black, the garb of a gentleman, when in society, in all civi lized countries. You may be assured that he is a head and shoulders taller in general estimation in England than any foreign representative who ever resided near this . government. He has set an ex ample which is eventually to cast into perpetual shade the ostentatious displays attendant upon re gal pretensions. Thanks to the President; thanks to Mr. Marcy, thanks to Mr. Buchanan, every representative of the United States, of whatever-grade, in a foreign country, who does not adhere to our usages at home will be looked on as object utterly unworthy of the place he fills. Nor can a'ny court in the universe take exception to such adherence. There is no piinciple better established in internationnl comity than that a Minister should represent, and carry with him the customs, as relates to apparel, which are observed in his intercourse with the chief, of the nation by which he is accredited. The population of Washington would have looked with 'disgust— the Piesident would have been startled—if the late Miriister here had presented himseli there in the garb which he adorned himself in when he waited on the Queen; and yet the Czar would have re quired his representative to wear the same dress in his presence at . a levee that he wore at the Queen 's The American representative who can - behold. beauty and fitness in the gala of Victoria's officials will readily behold beauty and fitness in the form of government of which the is the embodiment, and, accredited trom a republic,is unworthy 01 trust. The name of Mr. Buchanan will live forever in England, because he dared to be a true man--'a republican in tact and in truth.' Fur tne lateliegencer.) Lecture on Mental Alchemy. The inhabitants of Brownstown and vicinity,] were offereelomething feebly pertaining to Men-I tal Alchemy, - on Saturday evening last. There was; nothing strikingly sublime in the mental analyze- i tions offered by tne learned proiessor, who ere he! electrified his science with an air of pretended pro-I iciency, was completely wrecked in the atiallow waters, upon which he ventured hisoverladen bark. The early dawn of night gave evidence that th whole affair would prove a failure; yea, the very breath of 'old bore's' uttered rdd, articulation tra the word humbug. .11 . there really is as much tan gibility in the science as Dr. Williams mairitrunal aad challenges to prove, it certainly is much to be regretted that its sublime woridera are not back ed by more substantial demonstration than that which was adduced by this erudite prolessor. did not advance a single idea in support of his po •pion; he gave a formal introduction of the subject; with the apparent conviction, that his audience; would mould their opinions to conform with hie own peculiar fancies. He was fortified in his, premises by a lew notes; the first grand endeavor being to establish faith, and even bad the presumption to prothise that he could electrify someat least 11 allowed a fair trial. This was extended with a liberal spirit by the great• er part of toe audience. • Grasping the thumb-joint as- usual, they sat in a motionless, half sleeping attitude for at least fill teen minutes, the involuntary ndd evincing that Morpheus would soon aid the professor in his ex periments. He grasped the hand, rushed out a volume l of technical phrases with the impetuosity 0 a botspur, pressed the tronto•nasal part of the cm' nium, strove to bring theocular investmeatintoabeyi ance, and struck off with 'all right;' bdt it was no go, the eyelids would not remain closed, nor the hand immovably approximate to his own; Noth ing daunted, he repeated the operation with the same unsuccessful results. The vocilmous 'all right' was now hushed, as the spirit of humbuggery was con sidesably in advance of that which was to add hi larity to the evening's entertainment. In order to quell open dissatisfaction, the ready services of one of 'Ham's' descendants were offered up as a dessert. This 'darkey' attempted to shoW off the perfective wonders of ventriloquy, but his belly would not speak out, as a plenitude of whis key claimed occupancy, and electrified his stunted brain with'vulgar ideas, which found ready exit in grunting guttural tones. This as 41 the case,of the brain experiment, was only 'the shadow withoUt the substance'. Disapprobation was now openly manifest, regrets were expressed- against this bamboozling scheme, "the whistle' , was however—"paid for," and the audience retired leaving behind the anxious pro fessor to estimate the sum total of "fools pencil" realized by his quackish undertaking. Hereafter he must devise a more powerful mag net, to draw forth the dimes; he would not succeed again, with a rehash in the shape of a second edi tion, if ho had a certificate as large as the Massa chusetts anti-Nebraska memorial, to bolster forth his alchemiatic pretensions. A year ago all were in extacies about the table moving wonders, now the mental alchemy move ment is the rage; who can devise the next move, to keep up a seasonable excitement.

SANDZISOI :—You are aware, doubtless, that this is a growing city, and that there are some great men in it—at least in their own estimation. But, then, you• must reflect that we live in a pro gressive age, and that our good old Dutch cityi is not behind any of her neighbors in the spirit of im provement. Latterly we have had quite an acces sion from the 'land of steady habits,' in the shape of an Editor whose vocation, it seems, is to enlighten the natives by the brilliant scintillations of his genius. Not content, however, with instruct ing them in the arts and sciences, morals and liter ature, his towering intellect has grasped other sub jects, until "At last the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew." He has undertaken to regulate the action of the City Cduncils, the Post Office employees, and last, but not least, the Railroad officials. The two lat ter classes especially are the peculiar objects of his attention. The Post Office Clerks must be more obeisant to the commands of his wooden nutmeg lordshim—not daring to curl the lip when he is about; and as to the Railroad officials, (which menns, I suppose, Switch Turner and Dispatcher, Weigh Master and Collector,( he has told them, in en authoritative tone, that their duty is to keep the boys off the ears and locomotives/ as they pass thro' town, or else they will incur the sore displeasure of all Yankeedem. What a blessed thing it is, Mr. Editor, to live is such an age, and that we have so learned and dia. tinguisked a citizen in our mullet whose irisaa-sor aria -ALL-13000 propensities are so strongly devel oped. AN OUTSIDER. PHILLDILPI/IL rat '4O AND 's4.—From the Moo ey article of :'aturday'e Ledger, we clip the follow ing : Oor city was probably never more crowded with business men than at this time. Our hotels are fill ed. with strangers, our business streets blocked up with bales and boxes, and,our railroads overloaded with freight and passengers. A striking fact is pre sented in the business of our city at .this time, as compared with its banking capital, and the busi ness of Philadelphia fifteen years ego, compared with its banking capital then. In 1840 the trade of this city was probably not half, perhaps not a fourth, of what it now is; and its banking capital then was over fifty millions of dollars 1 Now with •business doubled, perhaps quadrupled, our banking capital is a little over ten millions of dollars! And we venture to say there never was a time when business was more satisfactory or more profitably carried on than at this preseet moment. There is no flagging of improvement of any feasible en: terprise for want of capital, and there is even less demand'tor any increase of banking facilities now than then. The great public have learned that banks dO not increase capital—they expand credit to their own profit, and very generally'no the loss of those who rely on them most. Gov. Hisicsa has done much in his messages and in the `standhe has taken against any increase of banking capital to bring about the - present wholesome condition of public sentiment, and 'we trust he will run a pin through this paragraph and present it in his next answer to those few persons who hold to the obsolete idea that banking is essential to business.

Our — City is drill'of - local intelliience. The city authorities extended an invitation to the Governor, members of the Legislature, Judges of the Court, Mayors of the different cities, &c, Of Illinois. to par take of ; a . dinner, for the noble manner in whick the Legialature of that State pushed through that body the bill for the right of way to the St. Louis and Term Haute Railroad. They were received here on the let inst., by the military and city of, liciala, and escorted to the Rotunda. The follkiw• mg day they partook of a sumptuous dinner— spread In the new hall of the Mercantile Library Association—and in the eveninic of the sam9 day a grand Ball was given at the Varieties Theatre{ which was thronged with the beauty and faehion of our city, and all seemed satisfied that St. Louil was a great, flourishing and genirous city. The citizens, with the Chamber of Commerce subecri. bed $5,000 towards defraying the expenses of the festival, and the city will foot up the balance--; about 82,000; the total expensesn will not exceed $7,000. Our city was the scene of quite an excitement a few days since, caused by a brutal and ,unwarrant• mf punishment inflicted upon one 01 our German citizens. The facts of the case, as near as I can learn, are as follows : Wm. O. Hoffnian, a German, who, some years since, edited a German paper in Harrisburg, Penn., but who has. been residing in this city, was most cruelty and barbarously cow hided and otherwise ill-treated by four or file in human wretches, in the northern part of the city. Hoffman' was the Advertising Agent of a German paper of this city, and, as it appears, became ac quainted with the wife of a man named Baker who kept a cuffs house in the Sixth Ward. Baker thought, so the story runs, that Hoffman was rath er too intimate with his 'better hall,' and accord ingly sent him a note to that effect, and forbid him the house. A few days since, Hoffman received a note purporting to come from Baker's wile, inviting him to visit the house—(but whether this note was anonymous, and sent for the purpose of carrying into effect the villainous outrage inflicted on Hoff man, is not yet known, as the vie= is too seri dusty injured to appear against the inhuman wretches.)„ However, be this as it may, Hoffman went to her room at the time specified in the note, and found her indisposed and in bed. .What tran spired between him and her has not, as yet, been made public. She, however, fired two shots of a pistol at Hoffman, neither of which took effect; but the report of which soon brought three men to the spot, who, it seems, were awaiting the signal.— They caught Hoffman, tied him down to the bed with a rope, sent for Baker, who was not tar dis tant, he procuring two cowhides, and lashed the poor, helpless creature with them until they were both worn out. But they did not stop here—Baker took his knife and perpetrated one of the most bar barous, outrageous and disgusting acts upon the person of Hoffman. The latter was taken to the hospital, where he now lies in &critical condition, beat almost into a jelly. The ruffians were arrested, bur I am sorry to say, are out, under bail, for their appearance at the examination. The citizens of the Ward were greatly exasperated at the conduct of these beasts in human shape, and it was feared violence would be committed; whereupontt strong police force was sent up to quell any outbreak of the frantic citizens in the vicinity. An 'indignation meeting' was held last evening.in the weird, and several inflammatory speeches were made, and vio lent and strong resolutions adopted against the per petrators of this diaboliCal act. The Mayor was present and addressed the meeting, which was very large and respectable. He told them to desist from any rash act and let the law take its course, which tie knew would do justide to tbe.injured , party. It is generally presumed that Hoffman was deceived, by this note—that it was anonymous, and that it was a plot planned by these men; although several letters from Baker's wile were found in Hoffman's trunk atter his removal to the hospital. The ex amination, I hope, will be searching and thorough, and should it appear that H. was deceived by an anonymous letter, which he no doubt was, these worse than brutal villains should receive a punish ment to the full extent 01 the law. Dr. Parker, and Mrs. Neel, the mother of the young matt I spoke of in a previous letter as beibg very ill, arrived here about a week ago, and found tier son much improved in health, so much so that they lett for Lancaster three or lour days since, with a fair prospect of his speedy recovery. 'Westward the star of empire takes its way!' I learn that several companies are about forming in some of the Western States for the purpose of eiii• igrating to Nebraska in the spring. From present appearances there will be a large - emigration into that territory during the spring and summer. Ne- braska territory contains 136,700 square miles, and would make seventeen States as large as Mas sachusetts. A sprightly paper, called the Democrat, is now published at Nebraska City—a place des tined to be one of the greatest cities in that terri tory. The Fremont County (Iowa) Journal says: 'Already claims.have been made upon all lands in Nebraska Territory within five miles of Nebras ka City site. This speaks loudly for the importance attached-to this embryo city. We do not consider, however, those who have thus made claims have any right upon the soil, and 'we think their action in the premises, entirely too hasty, and calculated,' in a measure, to retard the ratification of the trea ties at Washington.' Illinois, the 'Sucker: State,' is rapidly ascending the ladder of fame, and is fast becoming a State of magnitude and importance. During the past year about a million of the State debt has been Liquida ted, besides the pro rata dividend of the two mill tax; and the Governor anticipates that one-third of the State debt will be paid during his term of office, and the interest fully paid on. the balance. The bill for the grant to the St. Louis and Terra Haute Railroad passed the Illinois Legislature after a des perate and bard fought battle, in-which the deni zens of our neighboring city (Alton) were badly detested. Alton has always opposed the interests of St. Louis, and takes every occasion to give us a. dig under the rib: The passage of this bill bast given to St. Louis .a speedy and direct communi cation with the eastern and sea-board cities, which will secure an immensity of the trade which now finds a channel via Chicago and the Lakes. Chi. cago, too, as a matter of course, is strongly oppo. sed to everything in the shape of railroads that will benefit our city, as each and every one will detract a large portion of the trade from that city. The completion of the Chicago and Rock Island Railroad was celebrated at the latter place, on the 22d ult., with great enthusiasm. The road is 181 miles in length, and was put under contract in Oc tober, 1851, and finished in a little less than two years from the time work the was begun. The Hon. John Wentworth, generally known as 'Long John'—editor of the Chicago .Democrat, has'. recently sold a lot in that city, 96 by 150 feet, for $30,000, making about $lOO,OOO worth of proper tyffie has sold within a year, and 'has more than as muah still on hand. Certainly, he is one of the lucky editors! Tne node enterprise does not exist in Missouri as that of Illinois, although there is an abundance of good and fertile land in this State, and which can be had on easy terms, and at a low price; yet those in want of land seek their future habitation in other States. I can give no other explanation for thisfact, than this sirdple reasob thatour constitution bears upon its lace the curse el Slavery, which, so long as it holds the negro in bondage, will lose many of the thousands emigrating to the western country, who might, were it otherwise, select their location in our State. I notice that a mammoth Oz is about to be tit ian through our State on exhibition. It is said to be the largest animal of the kind in the world. I am not able to sly whether he was raised in' this State or not, but he must certainly be a monster and is worthy of note. He is 20 hands high; weighs over 4000 Ibs; is well proportioned; five years old, and still growing. Yours, Osc. OLD GUARD. DARING ROINZRT OP THI PITTSBURG CUSTOM. Hoosa.—On the night DI the 10th, about '7 o'clk., John Hastings, Collector of the POrt, was knocked down in Allegheny, and robbed of $250, a gold watch, and the keys of the ( c ustom House doors and the safe. The robbers then entered the Cus tom House and stole a bag containing $lO,OOO in po gold pieces. Mr. Hastings is in a precarious condition. In relation to the above robbery the Washington Star says `We learn; on inquiry, that the Secretary of the Treasury, with his usual foreiight, some time since authoriztd the 'Designated Depository' of the pub lic monies at Pittsburg, Pa., to employ constantly. two armed watchmen to. guard the public funds entrusted to his custody: It is not kuown at the Department whether they had been so employed, or what they were about when the robbery occur ring on Friday night was committed.
