Daring the speech several estions were put to Mr. Douglas, which he an s creel satisfactorily , and in good humor. Ile was o posed to the New England Emigrant Aid Society nding out hirelings for no other purpose than to upon Slavery; he WAS down upon,biassachusetts li e a thousand of brick, •and thinks that the Alla 'nil= were /breed to defend themselves against t e Abolitionists of the North, sent there as hirelings, erely to carry the elections in 'favor of the Free S ate candidates. He said the Missourians notwith s nding they were forced to do as they havei done, w re no. justified by any law, but in direct violation o the true meaning of the act entitled the Nebraska nsas Bill—leaving the people of each State and 'Ortitory to decide for themselves, and regulate their own domestic affairs as they may deem most fit for their welfare and prosperity. This, he says, has not cib en done, and the Missourians , as well as the Northern Abolitionists, have violated the meaning a d spirit of the territorial bill; and are both justly nsurable for their conduct. If he wanted to make ansas either a Slave or a Free State, he would:, ve there and become one of the people of the Ter , ziary, and exercise the rights of a citizen—that is wt the bill provides for, and all outside interfer e co is contrary to the true spirit and meaning of , that bill. Mr. Douglas farther said that Abolition is , Maine-law-ism, Know-Notbingism and all the jii wasanall army, o y against the ainst o rh h i e c r h is t m h s e of Union d ay, and Constitutional ctuntry will have to fight manfully, if they would wish to preserve our cherished institutions. Bis s erCh was attentively listened to, by from 5,000 to 8000 persons, and pronounced one of the best, most btilliant and patriotic speeches delivered from that stand-for a number of years. He was frequently cheered during the course of his remarks. Tha speech was based upon constitutional grounds, and vii.s incontrovertible,ether by the opponents of the Nebraska Bill, or •of Know-Nuthingism, and Senator Douglas retired from the stand amid the loud huz ziis of.the congregated thousands. The Know-Nothings present—that omnibus load -icried for Dr. M'Dowell, the fatuous blackguard, and leader and chief of the dark-lantern order, of this city, who, always ready and willing to attack the Catholic Church, took the stand amid shouts and roans—Douglas, being aware of the dirty language generally fised by the K. N. Chief, left, the ground before the opening Beene commenced—which was in these words—"lf there are any ladies present they ad better retire, as the great Mogul of An:trim''- , ,n. is about to talk to the b'hoys !' This text was M a s 'Mont to drive the respectable portion of the as smbly out of hearing, and the Doctor was left, with his men, to enjoy the remainder of the evening.— Whilst McDowell was blackguardiag the Catholic rligion, as well as Senator Douglas for defending t e Constitution, and upholding the fundamental lbws of the land, the "Little Giant" was being sere naded at the Planters' House, and ho came to the itidow and made a brief, but most patriotic, speech I the crowd that had gathered around. Thus puled the proceedings of night. Judge Douglas is traveling through his own State, ( llinois,) and addressing the masses on the import tat questions of the day, refuting the false and un ibunded charges brought against him, and his Ne braska-Kansas bill. 'the latest advises from Kansas report Perkins, the Administration candidate for Congress, in opposition tb Gen. Whitfield, the Pro-Slavery candidate, as having withdrawn from the race. There is a divis lint in the ranks of the Pro-Slavery party, and it is understood that there are two Pro-Slavery candi dates in the field, and both stumping the Territory. Ihe Free State party believing that they might be onsidored as acquiescing, in some degree, in the cis passed by the Legislature, and suspected of Making some show of submission to the laws, have resolved to hold their election on the second Tues day in October—the Legislature designates the first. This is folly, and the Free State party has shown no great spirit in this instance, but if anything, renders themselves ridiculous, and the folly of the movement will fall upon their own heads. ..I stated in a previous letter that Gov. Shannon. k the first opportunity of assuring the Western took issourians of his strong Pro‘Slavery sentiments.— The Pro-Slavery party did not believe the Governor to be sincere in his declarations upon his arrival, d fhought he was playing a double-handed game they think so still, and look upon him with sus picion. My own opinion is, Gov. Shannon is merely Sounding the Western people upon the Slavery ques- Ition. The actual settlers are opposed to Shannon, and are remonstrating with the President, in relation to the Governor's haste in expressing, uncalled for, his I' co-Slavery sentiments. He has placed himself in an awkward predicament—the Free State men be lieve him to be a renegade, and the Pro-Slavery party consiaer him a hypocrite in sentiment. Sam Houston, of Know Noshing notoriety, has written a lengthy and burning letter to Gen. Lamar, en. Sherman and Hon. 11. G.

T.e yellow fever has also broken out in the towns above, and the people are daily fleeing from them. Mr, Charles Campbell, of your city, arrived here last week. A highly respectable citizen, Mr. Jos. 11. Ricker, well to do in the world, committed suicidp on Thurs day morning last by placing the muzzle of a pistol in his mouth and blowing oat his brains. No cause is asaigned for the rash act. Re was a man without family. A most shocking accident occurred on Friday last to a man named John Carrigan, who was employed in the Empire stove Works. He was caught by a large fly-wheel and torn literally to pieces. One all of his head was completely crushed, and parti cles of his brain were thrown into the second story, through an opening in the floor. His jaw -bone was onnd some distance from the place of accident. He resented a most shocking spectacle. The cele rated pedestrian is still at work. Be has thus far kept up to time, though he looks very much worn out, but it is believed will accomplish the un dertaking. The wager is $2,500 that he will walk a half .a mile in every half hour during twenty-two days and nights. A new boat called the A. B. Chambers , (named after the lamented Col. Chambers of the St. Louis Republican) made its appearance at our Levee on Thursday last, and a large crowd partook of a sump tuous repast, prepared by her owners. The occasion was one long to be remembered. L The Criminal Court is now in session, and business Ps being despatched as rapidly as possible. Tho trial of the notorious Bob O'Blennis, fur killing the Deputy ball, has not yet come on, and probably will of this term, as the principal witness against him as since died from the effects of an accidental shot f a pistol which fell from his pocket, whilst in the t of picking something up from the pavement.

This treaty, however, accord •ng to one of its stipulations, may be dissolv ed by either of the parties, provided they give one year's notice of their intention. This otice has been given by the United States, nd hence the dispute. Xtet.The U. S. Grand Lodge of Odd Follows loosed its annual session in Baltimore on Sat rday, The reports made from the various States represented the order in a 'prosperous ndition, except in Georgia and New Jersey, 'IL which there was a little falling off. The and lodge had a fund of $21,585 51 up to eptember, to be increased at the close of the ear $6OOO. From this fund appropriations mounting to U 6,706 50 have been made for the good of the order.

PENNSYLVANIA laos,--It is said that Penn sylvania now produces as much iron as was manufactured in all Great Britain 30 years ago. fl From Central 'Ameriea we learn that' Col-Kinney had been elected Governor of San Juan and the territory. The first number of his new paper, the "Central American," con tains his inaugural proclamation, in which he intimates that the difficulties with the Transit Company arc about to be amicably settled.— On thc - dd of September, Col. Walker, with 150 men, had landed at Virgin Bay, and de feated a three of 400 Men from Rivas, under Etudiola. He was to attack Rivas in a few days. The government had demanded the arms and ammunition lately received by the Tranmit Company. - SANTA FE.--By dates from Santa Fe, we learn that that quarter has been visited - by one of the most fiolent and destructive storms that has been known there for a long period. The Santa Fe Gazette, of the 25th August, say :—"The plaza wad converted into a great lake, and along all the streets ran torrents of water like small rivers. The Acequias broke over their hank, and the water, spreading with headlong velociy, inundated gardens and fields, and, in some instances, washed down liewes that obstrneten its eou.ge. The Itio Citiquito rose to an unprecedented heighth, and, fir a time, cutoff all intercourse between the two parts of the town." HORRIBLE SACRIFICE OF LIFE ON WESTERN WA TERS IN FORTY-FORK YEARSI—From Lloyd's forth coming Steamboat Direbtory we learn that sine tfie application of the steam on the Western waters there have been thirty-nine thousand six hundred and seventy-two lives lost by steamboat disasters, three hundred and eighty-ono boats and cargoes lost, and seventy boats seriously injured, amounting in the aggregate to the enormous sum of sixty-seven mil lions of dollars.

Landis, Esq.—Dear Sir: Yours, dated Phila. delphia, Sib boat, mane to band an hour ago, and 'hasten to reply: You desire in it a true statement or description of the land, &c., about St. Mary's, in Ellr. county. lam happy to be able to give you a full description, as by liv log in the place for the last flee years, as also 'having fre quent occasions to explore the lands and Its mineral worth. I have become thoroughly acquainted with the value of the land and its .mineral resources. As an agricultural country, it surpasses any land in this or adjacent coun ties. It produces `the best of rye, •aorn, oats, potatoes and grass. Last year, when there was a - general failure of crops in Pastern Pennsylvania, I St. Mary's had an abundant harvest, and whilst scarcity prevailed everywhere else there•wasabundance here. Thousands of dollars' wort]; of produce was sold in.this settlement last year. It Is a good limestone soil; limestone is found in abundance, so that the land ran at any time be improved by liming:— Aburidance of coal is found eVerywAere in these lands; I ' have, although wood is no plenty, for the last two years used nothing but coal for my family use. I know of more than ten or twelve different coal banks opened within a short distance of St. Mary's. They all average from four to sit feet vein, running in general into the hills, or rath er working upwards, so that water never can disturb them. There is also abundamm of iron are. The Kidney rock, and some pipe ore has been found. At the base of hills torn away by the ravines, I ran in many places get lumps of ore weighing from five hundred to six hundred pounds, of the best of rock ore. There Is also abundance' of fire proof clay lying, in strata between the coal and limestone. 'The northern of the St. Mary's tract abounds intim best of cherry timber and ash; such is the quantity, that from fifteen to thirty thousand feet of lumber ,an be manufactured from the acre. The southern part Is mostly fir, pine and hemlock. The water powers in the various streams cannot be sur passed; theY are on the Elk creek, East Trout run, South . east creek, West creek, Dent's run, North Crooked creek, east branch of the Clarion river, Silver Creek and Kersey run. An these streams possess first rate mill sites; and the day will not be far distant when every stream will be filled with manufactories of some sort. The Sunbury and Erie railroad passes directly through the whole 'of this land—and when once finished, nothing is able to compete with this section of the State. We here have the health; We bare the soil for the hus bandman; we bare the tuinetal fur the manufacturer; we have any quantity of coal; we have immense forests of the choicest and best of timber, and, he fact, nothing is want, lug, when this road is completed. Co make this one of the wealthiest portions of the State. To Illustrate the place properly to you, you must:think that eleven years ago not a tree Wes cut here, Many of the people who settled here wore entire unacqualoted with clearing land ; now that' possess good farms, and the log huts are giving way to magnificent buildings, and if is proverbial that every man Is getting well off. Wo ; new are the support of all the neighboring lumber factories—and, as It were, St. Mary's is the cupboard of the whole county. There is now about seven thousand acres clear, aud we number over twenty five hundred souls, and in many respects we are much ahead of any of the adjacent towns and counties although much older in years than we. Auy further information you.desire will be cheerfully given. Truly yours, E. C. SCHULTZ.

It has hotels as good as any in the :tate—fine stores—a college, where the highest branch es of eddeat it'll are taught, both literary and musical--saw mills, grist mills, coach imanufactories, and every thing, contAvable to add wealth and prosperity to the place. • The land of the company surrounds this town, mitten the improvements, thereby reaping the benefits, and present ing a splendid opportunity for settlement. Limestone abounds. This is both au evident. of the quality of the soil and a greatTertilizer. At tit. Mary's it sells at from ten to twelve cents a bushel, burnt. . _ Thu timber is or great value, aud consists off:berry, Ash, 'Chesnut, Pine, Cak and ileteleck, all of primeval growth, of great size, and towering from eighty to a hundred and twenty fret high. That which the stockholders du not want will be sold to the timber merchants, with conditions to cut it in a certain time. This will clear the land,,and bring a large revenue into the treasury, which will go to the reduction of the price of the farms. This explains its agricultural ',stair,. But there is suother consideration of 1111:d, if not greeter, impotence. The land is cue greet led or coal. Upon this property it is literally inexhaustible. By taking a glance at the latest map, first at this loadity,end than over the State, It will be found to possess the grandest Natures of prosperity, hat provement, and almost immediate development. It Is su perior to any other. It is the only piece having the great conceutratien of railroads, by Which New York, the Lakes, Philadelphia and Pittsburg are at its doors. There is no coal in New York, and ou account of its northeruiy suttee lion, it possesses the advantage 'of nearness. This is des. final to Locum (ho Pottsville of that portion of the State. The prospect iu the future for this place exceeds any that Pottsville ever had; and there, laud which a few years ago was selling ut live and ten dollars au acre, when the rail road opened its mines sold fur Bean two to live hundred dollars an acre. These ate facts. Those who are ignorant, let them make inquiry. Improvement is still progressing. So arrive at the truth. Judge the future by the past, and then what will this land bet it is proper that reason should give the answer. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, of which Gov. Bigler is President, and which connects this land with the-Lakes and Philadelphia, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad, of which dov. Johnson is President, connecting this land with Pittsburg, are in rapid course of completion, and up• on a great extent the locomotives are running. Thu retlec- Bons which suggest themselves upon this subject are thesc—lt takes two hundred weeks to pay her the farms. They will be distributed when they are half paid for. By that time the railroads will be finished. That will be early enough for all practical purposes. The advantage of baying It before their completion is evident. When that is done property will go up one hundred per cent. Speculation in coal would at once run it up to such a price as would make it impossible to obtain for agricul tural purposes. We now get it without paying the then improved price, and the stockholders will enjoy the rise. A tract of about two thousand acres will be laid off at once ' and ready by next Spring, in order thatnersens who wish to farm immediately can do so. Friends and relatives, as well as those having more than one share, can have their farms together. An Improvement Department will also bo connected with the company. By this means, in order to accommo date those who are unable to give their personal atten tion to fencing and preparation, or desire to rent their properties out instead of residing there, arrangements can be made to place' each farm in complete order, so ad to be ready for cultivation. After the farms have been all sold, stockholders can have manure furnished, houses built, and other work done upon credit, they securing the pay ment to the company within a reasonable time, so that a man in the first place receives a farm at the lowest possi ble price, and thee:Cls afforded every, assistance In placing It under crops. Ttieite embrac4he principle features, and an excellent opportunity Is now offered fora man to obtain a home for himself, his wile and children, either at the present or time to come. Many business men, meclanics, and workingmen upon farms, who save several dollars smooth, lean, by:thus uniting together, hocOme freehelders, whilst they scarcely miss the outlay, and at less: expellee than the annual cost of tobacco or the most trilling luxuries. A saving and purchase of this kind eat nothing, and eon ..stantly increase in valor. In case of.sickness or misfor- tune by which he is thrown xint of employment, he has a home to go to, where he otti• always make •a good liv ing. The title is unexceptionably good—one of the old est in the State, being the Holland Title. These who desire farms, will please address; personally or by letter (enclosing first instalment, to Samuel W.
