Baker The re-appointment of this gentleman to the Superintendency of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad. a post he has filled with so much credit and ability since February, 1852, is gall and wormwood to his few calum niators in this city. They have been pursuing him. for weeks and Months with hyena-like ferocity, inventing and circulating all manner of falsehoods, in the vain hope of. weakening his well known character for integrity—but it was of no avail. The Canal Commissioners ere too well acquainted with Col. BAKER they appreciate too highly his intelligence, honesty and capacity, to be moved by the ly ing assertions made by a corrupt and unprin cipled cabal of Know-iVothing& and Apogialer from the Democratic party. The honest men of both parties, who have the interest of the Commonwealth at heart— Whigs as well as Democrats—anxiously desi red the re-appointment of this faithful officer, and their wishes have been gratified by the, Board, to the discomfiture, of the little batch of political guerrillas who have been so indus triously engaged in the infamous work of de traction and calumny. The Guerrillas' Know-Nothing organ, of this city, and its Temperance Know-Nothing ally, can now wreak their threatened ven geance against the Canal Board—if they choose; but we have an'idea that both Messrs. HOPKINS and FURSYTIL who seem to be espe cially obnoxious to the nwners and controllers of the organ and its ally, will survive all the abuse that may be heaped upon them by the despicable crew. Sar Our Quixotic, but harm/c.v., little friend of the "American Register," one of the sever al Know-Nothing organs in this City, will have it, nolens volena, that we "backed nu' of a controversy with him. This is a mistake altogether. We never hacked in with our amiable .:,m , emporary, nor have wt the re inotest intention of doing so. - He may exer cise his bet/a:geed/it prOpensities un windmills, like his great prototype, or anything else that he pleases, and, like the Irishman at the Fair, brandish his shillelah over every body's head with whom he comes in contact—but we beg him, for mercy's sake': not to consider us in the light of au antagonist. The thought itself of such a position would be excruciating in the highest degree. We advise the little man to try his hand with the "Mount Joy Herald," or "Manheim Sentinel." Either of them is decidedly more pugnacious than we, and might furnish him with that kind of employ ment which appears to he so congenial to his taste. . par There is said to be about three thous and Negroes entitled'to vote in New York city under the provision of the State Constitution which requires a colored man to have been three years a citizen and possessed of freehold estate of the value of $250 over and above all debts and incumbrances charged thereon, and upon which a tax shall have been paid.—Sat urday Express. This is true. And it is also a fact that the Know:Nothines (to whom our neighbor is said tl a to belong) would exe 1 e a white man, who happens to have been o out of the country, from voting until he has een TWENTY-ONE years a citizen ! Whht a beautiful commen tary on Know - Niailitighrni this is ! ~.. BLACK man may vote upon a three yeav's resi dence, but a WHITE man must serve an ap prenticeship seven times as long to entitle him to the right of suffrage' Massachusetts Election The election last week in Massachusetts re sulted in the election of all the Know -Nothing candidates, by large majorities, viz: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, members of Congress, Senate, and' - 341 out of 348 members of the House. Nothing else was expected from that old Federal Commonwealth. Delaware Election In this State there were but two tickets— Democratic and Know-Nothing. The Whigs 4alesced with the latter, andof course ear 'Tied the day—electing their Governor, mem bet: of Congress, and a majority of the State Legislature. NEBRASKA.—The President has appointed &mum', D. LECOMPTE, Esq., of Baltimort, to be Governor of Nebraska, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the decease of the late Gov.

ItosiGainedl The following strong article, by the editor of the Luse,rne Union, is addreSsed to certain politicians of that county. Its interrogatories apply with so , mach force here,that we com mend them to itheconsideration' of our readers: We ask the !men who have been called dem ocrate, but who deserted.tbeir colors in the late'electinn, what have you gained ? Were you in pursuit of personal promotion ? •If so, you have a solemn account to settle in days and days to come. Were you deluded with the idea, that you could embrace the foe, and hereafter say you were clean? Could You have supposed that the generous party which you belied and deceived could have taken you immediately back in good standing? Your probation will be long and your penance hard, before that time will come. You betrayed your party—you abandoned your principles—and what did you gain ? A Know-Nothing Whig Governor and a Know- Nothing Whig member of Congress. These are your gains ! are you not proud of the achievement,? Do you suppose that you are elevated above the men you have prostrated ? They fell on the imperishable rock of principle —with their colors in their hand—and will rise again. You hive fallen in the slough of Know-Nothingism and Federalism, and there you will remain. You consorted with men in the dead watches of the night, because your actions would not bear the scrutiny of day light—in stables—in hog-sties--in corn-cribs —in dog kennels, and were there leagued to li.em by oaths, which you would be ashamed to hear repeated before the intelligent poition of your fellow creatures. Will you remain with these new friends—or in casting your eye back upon the democratic' line, will you not regret the hour that you were seduced from your party allegiance ? How do you, feel, when with your new al lies, and hear them rejoice over federal victo ries ? When Bigler, who carried the demo cratic flag, is abused,' do you join the chorus ? When your new allies crow over the defeat of a whole ticket, arid claim a Federal victory, du you crow too ? Well, you have slaughtered your old friends. What will be your line of policy in the future? You may now prepare your minds for Shin plasters—Monopolies by the hundred—for the givilig away of the Public Works—for the pro hibition of A 1.1. FOREIGNERS from the privileges of freemen--such schemes of extravagance and folly as has ever marked the course of Federal Whiggery ! All this you may look for—and when the Know-Nothing grin shows up you will grin too. May be there are some of you, who on the strength of your former Democratic charac ters, may venture to ask, when you shall have vomited forth the abhorrent contents of your political stomachs, a boon at the hands of that same democracy you have abaldoned and be trayed ? Will that democracy receive you again and give you "coscrlON ?" There will be a time of probation. Like every other one, who has committed treasonable acts, your claims may possibly be a lung time postponed. Are you not aware that you are "shining marks ?" In your moments of reflection, and you twill have many, turn these considerations over in your mind. • Reflect upon your political dis guise, and that while you may fancy the wither, with which yon have bound the Dem ocratic body—he may like Sampson, he upon you when you little suspect it. You have aided to restore the dismembered fragments of the old Federal party—helped to revive the Alien and Sedition laws—and have joined yourselves to the new idols. In the end it will remain to be seen what you have gain ed by all this': Time and the future will de termine all this. In sneaking through some "dark alley at midnight to your haunt—think while you go, and return, and while there, what ani Ito gain by all this ? Fancy not that the republican principle is slain, in ten men, nor an hundred. It is immortal and will live —while Know-Nothingism will be shoveled utu of the stye with its kindred filth. Beaut4B otKnow-Nothinglem The , Saturday Express, a Know-Nothing paper published at Lancaster, alleges that Col., Mon', or some of his friends, practiced an imposition on that pious order for the pur pose of obtaining their votes, and says that its memberg, by voting for Mr. M. "have risked theirimuls' salvation by deliberate and wilfUl perjury." We do hope that right minded people may be induced to ponder and reflect on this start ling declaration. It is a virtual admission of the worst characteristic of Know-Nothing ism. One hundred and twenty thousand N , , , , , .-Nothings voted for . Col. Mon; and consequetnly that number of souls have been perjured. Too great a stake by far for the sake of one Canal Commissioner, or even for a whole Board. We should like to know who imposed on the Know-Nothings of New York, by means of which they voted for Ullman. their candidate for Governor, who according to the best authority, was born out of time con n try, and what is,to become of their souls? This now-Nothing candidate lived in Pennsylvania some years since, and if half we have heard about him be true, he ought not born any where. The people about Philipsburg, Bellefonte, and Clearfield in this State, we are informed, have expressed great surprise that Mr. U. should have become the representative of a par 3 to correct the political, and moi religious errors of the day. IN. digion are topics that seldom occupied his thoughts in that region of country. Cards and whisieey were more frequently discussed:2—Penn'n. BARNUM'S Boos —LThe indications are that :Barnum's Autobiography, concerning which tio much has been said of late, is likely to have wider sale than any work ever published in this country. Having had the privilege of looking over Mr. Redfaeld's "order" book, we found that the orders from booksellers and travelling agents, called, up to yesterday (the 14th) afternoon, for the extraordinary number lA . ninety odd thousand copies. The orders received by each mail are almost incredible— varying from 600 to 3000, verging more fre quently upon the latter tlian the former—and all this without the slightest prospect of abate ment. Booksellers whose general orders for new books rarely exceed a half-dozen eac s li, order this work in hundreds and five hun dreds. Travelling agents call for at least 100 copies, and frequently as. high as 1000: Were it not for the extraordinary sale of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," which, as we understand, reached a total sale of 312,000 copies, the fore going facts would be perfectly amazing:—as it is, they appear comparatively astounding. Should the orders continue for the next two months in the same ratio, as the publisher con fidently anticipates, the copyright of his anti biography, for the United States alone; will net Barnum over $2.00,000.—N. York Express. The Washington Union (the organ of the National Administration) is disposed to claim nine Democratic members from Penn sylvania, in the next Congress. The Union had better be cautious, or .it will incur the displeasure of Cameron's " Press " in York, the "Carlisle Volunteer," and the "Perry Democrat," for thus daring to insinuate that possibly. Mr. TODD (the member elect from that district) may be found acting with the Democrats when hi goes to Washington. Expulsion of an American Minister from - - 12122221 The last steamer at New .York brings full cratfirrardiorr of the report that Mr. Soule had been turned away from Calais, and denied the right of returning throrigh.France to resume his post - as 11. S:Ambassador at Madrid. This is the gravest news from abroad, to far as our country is contained. It is stated that when litaiOn, Miniathi at Paris, called on the French Minister of foreign affairs for an explanation, he was kept waiting for a couple of hours, and then received no satisfaction.— Some letterwriters intimate that he would call for,his passports if the grievance remains un redressed. A London letter. in the N. Y. Times says— "That act is the answer of European desp?- tism to the congress of American democratic, diplomats. If it were a personal affair, Mr. Soule would not have been allowed to enter France on his leaving Spain, but he was suf fered to do so. He went all over the country —nay more, lie and his diplomatic confreres held one of their consultations on French ter ritory, at Boulogne; so it was not the man,Mr. Soule, but the Minister Soule, to whom the af front has been offered. Among the many per sons who hold this opinion is Mr. Reverdy Johnson, of Baltimore, who wrote in that spir it a very long letter to Mr. Mason." The New York Courier and Enquirer re marks upon the subject as follows : "Mr. Soule, whatever may have been hiser rors hitherto, is now in a fair way of salvation from their consequences by the errors of oth ers. The report that he was refused a pas sage through France is confirmed. He left London on the twenty-third of October, and, on his arrival at Calais on the twenty-fourth, was, by express telegraphic message from Paris denied further ingress into the country. lie returned of course immediately to London, when, upon consultation, Mr. Buchanan, de spatched- a 'special messenger to Mr. Mason at Paris, who immediately demanded a prompt explanation and apology, and the withdrawal of the prohibition, with the intention, as we have reason to believe, of retiring to London should this reparation be refused. There will hardly be two opinions in this country as to the propriety of this course. If Louis Napoleon had exercised all his ingenuity for the express purpose of restoring to Mr. Soule some of the popularity and considera tion which he has lost, he could nut have hit upon a better expedient. Brilliant success or martyrdom was absolutely necessary to Mr. Soule's salvation: the former he has no hope to attain, but the crown of the latter seems about to be thrust upon his head. Necessary as it is for England at the present time to concil iate in every mode the good will of Louis Na poleon, it is, perhaps, not surprising that this insult to an American Minister should be ap proved of and elaborately justified by the Lon don Times, in a leading arricle, which, it is said (though, we believe erroneously) to ex press the views of the English government,we reprint in full. The assertion that Mr. Soule "can claim no especial consideration for his character" is one which cannot be allowed to pass unchallenged. Mr. Soule is a represen tative of the United States, and though not ac credited to the emperor of the French, is cer tainly entitled to his 'especial consideration,' so long as lie (Mr. Soule) is guilty of no act toward the French government unbecoming his diplomatic character. Mr. Soule, we have the best reason for believing, denies that he has in any way given just cause -of offence to, the government of Louis Napoleon: and such being the case, the exclusion of an American minister from French soil must be regarded as an indefensible caprice or a wanton insult —an indignity offered to the United States in the person of their representative, which can not be permitted to pass without reparation— Mr. Soule's innocence of improper demonstra tion of hostility to the French government be ing always presumed. This subject is regarded with great interest in political circles abroad—some of the most experienced men seeing in it a deliberate in tention on the part of Louis Napoleon to make a cause of quarrel with the United States.— While we can hardly allow ourselves to con sider it in so grave a light, we must insist the question is of far greater importance then the London Times would make it out, and that Mr. Soule, if he has conducted himself with propriety, must he sustained.- The Soule Dlttleulty Settled. (From the N. Y. Herald.) LONDON, Not•. 3, 1854-3 P M Don Piatt, Secretary of the United States Legation at Paris, has just come over with despatches for' Mr. Buchanan in , felation to the discourtesy of the French gorernment to the American Minister to Spain. Louis Napo leon, on last Sunday, invited Mr. Mason to a private interview at the Palace. In the course of discussion, Mr. Mason took occasion, with great firmness, to let His Majesty understand to the full the disastrous consequences of a war with A.merlica, and that lie had no douabt on his mind as to the course which the Ameri can Minister to Paris should pursue in the premises. That he should ateonce, without proper explanations were given by the French Court, assume the whole responsibility of the consequences, and ask for his passports. Louis Napoleon seemed as if just awakened to the bearing of American men and things upon European matters. He replied almost in the words . of the article in the Constitution nel, which you will have seen extensively re published in the English journals. The excitenient of the Americans in Europe in regard to this affair had run so high as to affect the prices of French stocks. As the general impression was that LouiS Napoleon would not recede, the London operators sold a large amount of French rented. ' The consequence in Paris was the fall of stocks nearly one per cent. As such a tenden cy was particularly dangerous at this time, when the Emperor is in want of money, and the news from Sebastopol so gloomy that the festivities at Compiegne are a second time post poned, he had no time for hesitation or dignity. His note to Mr. Mason, breathing a still more deprecatory tone than the Constitutionnel, was therefore communicated in substance to the Paris Bourse, some hours it before it was de livered formally to the Legation, in order to stop the alarming decline of funds. The note withdraws all objection :lo Mr. Soule's free passage through France. Louis ..Vapoleon moreover invites Mr. Soule to proceed through the Empire ad his way to Madrid. It is certain that the whole influence of the British Ministry has been exerted, through Lord Clarendon, to produce the result that has been attained. The French government did not anticipate so decided a stand as that taken by Mr. Mason; it thought that he would refer the matter to the government at Wash ington, which they considered too feeble to do anything. It is understood that George Saunders gives a dinner to Mr. Soule previous to his depar ture, at which will meet the French republic ans—Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc, Victor Hugo and others. On his arrival at Paris, the American citizens there will invite him to a national banquet. Thence he goes to Bayon ne, and leaves for Spain in the United States steamer San Jacinto. It it said that Louis Napoleon has been so fully convinced by the turn this affair has taken, of the impolicy of attempting to put a bridle on the wild Yankee nation, that he has resigned himself to a .pfirfectly amiable be havior at least until Sebastopol is really 0 prise. A Correction The subjoined official report of the recent elec tion we find in the Pennsylvanian of Tuesday last. It will be seen that Governor BIGLER leads Judge BLACK 104 votes in the State— and that the latter is beaten 27,913 by the com bined vote of Messrs. BAIRD and S?dYSER, whilst Mr. PoLtocz's majority is 36,541. The cause is, that whilst there were 371,103 votes in all cast for Governor, there were but 362,267 for Supreme Judge. The following is he official report referred to: SECRETARY'S OEFICE, HARRISBURG, Nov. 3, 1854.

GOODRICH, Deputy Seo'y A Beautiful Extract. On the 4th inst., at Detroit, GO/1. Cass made: it-Joni - thy speech, part of which was in reply to an attack made upon him by the Richmondi Enquirer. We take from it thesubjoined =trot 1 which is a fair specimen if the eloquent style of the author, arid will amply repay perusal. It-tiill be seen that he girs a home thrust at! the Fusionists, and his remarks, although in tended for a Michigan audience, will admira bly suit tAis meridian : "Do not abolitionize the great Whig party, said Mr. Clay. lam afraid his warning voice has been unheard or unheeded, and that the deed he feared and denounced has been done. And though we may regret, yet we are not re sponsible for this act of political suicide, but we are responsible for the integrity of our crlvn party. Do not, my friends, do not aboli tionize the Democracy. Let us have no fusion by which our fine gold is to be melted in the melting pot of political amalgamation. Do not lower the standard of the party by alley of other metals. We received it undobased from the patliarchs of our faith. Undebased let us preserve it. I have as little personal interest, my fellow citizens, in the determination of these questions as any man who is now listening to me in this numerous assemblage, be the other whom he may. Having passed the term of human ex istence assigned to man by the Psalmist—three score years and ten—l am warned that my hold upon life is a frail and a fleeting one,— But I believe the duration of this governmqnt is closely interwoven with the duration of:our party. I have lived uDemocratduring mydays which are passed, and I mean to live a Demo crat during my days, however few, that are to come. The Richmond Enquirer, indeed, you see, has read me out of the party, proscri bing me, disavowing me, and lOpping ins' off as a leprous limb; fur these are the terms, in its might or in its wrath, which: it employs.— But I do not acknowledge its jurisdiction—l do nut submit to its decree of excommunication. I shall not say, as Mr. Webster said, under cir custanees not entirely dissimilar, "'Where shall Igo ?" for Ido not mean to go anywhere. I mean to stand upon the ground I have occu pied fur half a century. I was a Democrat ' the days when the Richmond Enquirer was' born, years before the birth of its present edi itors. I am among the very few public men now living appointed to important civil office by Mr. Jefferson, nearly fifty years ago: perhaps lam the only one. And I prize this testi monial of the confidence of that great and pure statesman as one of the most precious Memor ials left to me: and I feel that from that (lay m this I have adhered to his principles, and have done- nothing to forfeit his confidence were he yet living. boring a long and active public career I have received far', more, and more important, proofs of the favor Of my country than I ever expected or merited. I e:u•ried little to her service beside a desire to do my duty: and now,, when my days are al most numbered, and my aspirations for polit ical distinction are among the things that have been, if I call make no other return fur all this kindness, I shall make the return of fidel ity, by my adhesion to those principles which have so long been the rule of my public con duct. I have no griefs to assuage, no resent ments to gratify, no purposes to attain but the great purposes of the party and of the country. My heart is filled with gratitude for all I have received, and not with regret, because I have not received more. Animated by these senti ments, I shall hold on to my party and its doctrines till my hold is broken by that great change which sooner or later comes to all." Polities Q t: the Pulpit.—The New York pa pers ofSaturday week were filled with notices of sermons un political subjects to be preached on Sunday, in different sections of the city, in view of the election held on Tuesday week.— The Chtio:h Journal, (Episcopalian) comment ing upon this extraordinary' feature of the times, pertinently inquires: "What is the reason of all this ? Has the old-fashioned Gospel—which we have been ac customed to believe was the Everlasting Gos pel—been at length exhausted and worn threadbare? Is no text fresh enough now for preachers and people except it be taken from the Gospel according to the daily papers? Is it that the ministers ai'e tired of the old topics of grace and salvation, and no longer believe that 'Gospel' of which they pretend to be 'preachers ?' The point we now wish to make, however, is that in a country, where, as we had had fondly hoped, Church and State—Religion and Politics—were thoroughly and forever di vided, popular preachers are rapidly rising to be the leaders of political parties; and pulpits are found to be—as in times of old—the best recruiting drums to beat up voters for political partizans. And a corresponding change has taken place in politics, too, as well as in re ligion—both of them rising and falling upon one Democratic pivot—rox populi. As the pulpit, therefore, has grown political, the stump has waxed pious; and if 'Nebraska' rings out lustily from the meeting-house, it is only iu sonorous unison with the 'Higher Law,' resounding from the halls of Congress." Judge Tuney's Decision on Usury.—The de cision of Judge Taney in the case of Dill vs. Ellicott, on the usurious point raised'in the trial, has produced much solicitude on the part of some money lenders. The Patriot says it has taken a good deal of trouble to ascertain the substance of Judge Taney's decison, which is this, that, under the new . constitution, all original contracts or obligations, including more than per cent. interest are void, anti involve nu contract whatever. In case of a note of hand, sold for what it will br:ug, the plea of usury cannot be maintained. The Le gislature is authorized to fix the " penalties and forfeitures," but as yet have natitted to do so, and the opinion of Judge Taney is that. no penalty or forfeiture can be less than the whole contract, but may be mure. It is stated that it is the intention of Judge T. to write out his opinion, which will be looked fur with much interest. In the meantime the notes offered by brokers for sale, if not originally made with usurious intent, cannot be effected by the clause of the Constitution referred to, and upon which Judge 'l'. has decided as above. In the case of Dill vs. Ellicott, the plea of usury was not sustained, although made, and the decision was in favor of the plaintiff to recover, while, we believe, the ac ceptance of the Ellicott's had been shaved.— Baltimore Sun.

This work, from the no less happy than prolific pen of Mra.

It abounds in\ brilliant descriptions of men and things that she saw in • the "Clearings," which of course present a strong contrast to whet. she met in the "Bush." Her descriptive powers are as fresh and as natu ral as ever, while her now happy and contented mind pre &ants things of a brighter couleur de rose than she fur. merly did under more adverse circumstance.

For sublimity of sentiment, chaste ness of tone, lively wit, deep pathos and extensive knowl edge of human nature, The Pride qf Life has no superior in tits range of modern book-publishing.

True, there are been Democrats sedneed into their or anizaiion, but they form a snntll proportion it, null three mouths halve they will film much smaller.

ATTACK ON CRONSTADT.—The English gov -1 rnment appear to be Meditating an attack L pon CronStadt as early in the spring as pos ible. Their preparations are formidable, and ,hould nothing occur to stop the 'war, we may spect warm work in the Baltic. The British ;apers say: - Government has entered into a contract or the manufacture of about 2000 tons (worth 50,000) of enormous slabs or plates made of ;he best scrap iron, with which powerful oating batteries are to be covered, so as effect !, ally to render them proof against the heav cest shot theßussians canthrow. These plates ary from 8 to 12 feet in length, are from 21 o 30 inches broad, and about 41 inches thick. ach plate will weigh from a ton and a-half to pwards of three' ons, and, after being fitted, ey are to be belted to the outside of the oating batteries. From experiments careful [7 made, it appears that iron plates of the :maps here mentioned - not only resist the I eaviest shot, but break them in pieces when ey strike. .Late Foreign News The steamship Asia has arrived at N.

The battle took place on the 25th. The at :MA was first made upon the Turks and I cotch, the former of whom broke and fled, :saving even their gulls, which were seized by he Russians and turned against them. Ac ording to the British accounts the Scotch re pained firm until other forces arrived, when le Russians were obliged to retire.

NEW YORK ELECTION.—It is now pretty well ascertained that CLARK (the regular Seward hig candidate) is elected Governor of New ork, by a majority of between 200 and 300 votes over Seymour the Democratic candidate. e following is said to be the result : Clark, (Whig) 154,869; Seymour, (Soft • m.) 154,592; Ullman, (Know-Nothing) 113,- 1; Bronenn, (Hard Dem.) 31,852. • 46Y.The salmon fisheries in California will 1 on an extensive scale during the nest sea ,n, and many companies are forming to catch d put up the fish for export.

A movement is now on foot to abolish the Canal Board, and jrattea. of three Commis sioners, to create a Superintendent who shall exercise the ft:motions of the present Board.— PreViouS to the election we heard unfelt about a sale of the Public Works, and were led, a/- Most, to believe that should Mr. Pollock be elected Governor, his first act would be to urge the sale; but no sooner did the figures show that he was elected than the cry of "sell the public works" ceased, and the project was started by the Whig papers, to place them in the hands of one man and that man to be ap pointed by the Governor. We have never favored a sale of the Public Vv ork-s of the State, because we doubted the policy, but ice would infinitely prefer to see them sold than have them placed under the control of one man, with the entire patronage which.attachts. If the arguments used for a sale were good previous to the election, they are good now, and if those who advocated the measure were sincere then, they should show their sincerity by still continuing to advocate the sale.— Abuses may have existed in the management of the Public Works, but we deem it a very poor way of correcting those abuses, by re moving three men, and confiding the whole management of the improvements into the hands of one. If three men will join in cor ruption, as is charged by the Whigs against the Canal Board, and which, from our know ledge of them we are unwilling to believe, is is not more likely that a single individual, having the entire control and disbursement,of the public money, would be corrupt also, and to a greater degree, because his opportunities would be better? We have no objection to such legislation un the subject as will throw every guard around the management of the public improvements and the treasury of the people, that can pos sibly be thought of, to protect the interests of the tax-payers, but we cannot for the life of us see how such ends will be accomplished by the proposed change. As we said before, if there is danger that three men, sworn to be honest, will prove dishonest, is it likely one man will be pure? And if the counsels of three intel ligent officers be inefficient in so extensive and important matter as the management of the Publie,Works, extending from one end of the State to the other. how will it be with a single individual? There is not a Railroad in the Union, nu matter how short or unimportant, that is under the control of a single individual, but each has its board of managers, and why should it be so with the improvements of the State? The question of n sale has lung been dis cussed; and if the people, through their repre-, sentatives declare in thvor of the project, let them lie sold, but we trust no such thing as the appointment of a Superintendent, with the entire control of the Works, will ever be sane tioned.—CuriiBle Democrat. Sat'. We Would make a suggestion in addi tion to the above. Let the question of the sale of the Public Works he submitted to a vote of the people, in the same way that the Prohibi t ry Liquor Law question was submitted, and let their decision be binding on the succeeding Legislature. In a matter of so much import mice to the tax-payers °lithe Commonwealth, we think public opinion should be first con sulted before any definite action is taken by the Legislature. We fully agree with the Democrat in its op position to the abolishment of the Canal Board. To change the present system, and vest the power and patronage connected with the pub lic improvements in the hands of one man, and he appointed by the Governor, would be an in sult to the intelligence of the people of Penn sylvania.—En.

Riches in Vieginia.—Speakin g of iron, a Virginia piper says there are enough in Montgomery county, in . this State, to build a railroad with a double track of heavy rail 210 tons to the mile, from Washinedn City to San Francisco. It is found at different points within from one whys m ilea of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad. Toe ore is of the best quality; rich enough to yield from 50 to 75 per cent. of pure iron. This ore can be mined or gotten out a cost of from 12i cents to 50 cents per ton, it being situated on the gentle elopes in immense ledges from which it can be blast ed in large masses. The writer goes on: "There is stone coal of the very purest and best qnality for iron manufacturing purposes, enough within from five to ten miles of the Virginia and Tennessee railroad, (and to which a branch railroad will be built in 1855) to supply the defnands of the whole world for years. In short, an inexhaustible amount, which is so situated that it can be mined at a cost of froth 50 t 075 cents per ton: There is on New River, Little River and Roanoke and their branches, in the county of Montgomery, convertible water power to at least 10,000 horse power. The country, though fertile and productive, has still a very large proportion of heavily timbered forestAfrom winch might be obtained immense quantities of charcoal and fuel. The foregoing . facts are strictly true; and yet strange as it is, there never has-been a ton of iron made in the present limits of the county of Montgomery. Bt. Louie pa rr impudence.
