Ist, 1858. ALES SRB . EDITORS :—Since my last I hare been traveling some in our State, taking observations re specting the quality of the soil, its improvements, and character of the inhabitants, and I can say but little more than will tend to verity the statement you have often noticed, viz : that the soil is of the most fertile fortnation, gently undulating, and has every advantage of timber and water to make the most.dealikble abodes for honest, industrious and en terinziadrig;citizens. And this, I am most happy to observe,' a the character of the people I notice in my travel of more than a hundred miles west of this City. The climate in these northern districts is but little colder, and much more uniform, than in the southern part of the State, consequently much healthier and more•desirable fos homes. the Uovernment lands of this District are now neiiily disposed of, nothing remaining but a few scattered "forties, : , eighties," or "fractional pieces," being "refuse lanus." A alight conception for the demand of lowa lands may be infered from the following facts : On the 19Ln of November there wore two ranges of town ships, (i-7 and le) brought into market, in this dis trict, from the Des Moines, at the re-formation of the lowa land districts, and at 4 o'clock A. M., there were about twenty persons standing, with shivering limbs, and almost ffozen feet, upon the snowy pave ment, at the door of the Land (Mice, notwithstand ing they were well aware the office would nut open before 2 o'clock. A half hour prior to the opening, the aggreghto number was about live hundred. This number, of course, could nut be satisfied in one day, hence there was great excitement and endeavors to be first in the °thee ' and had it not been for certain arbitrary rules of the Register ' there might have been serious consequences. Ris rules were of such a char acter as to allow persons to hand in their applica tions, and receive their duplicates at some tuture time. There was about 200,00 acres applied for that day, and this evidently shows that the lands are either of superior quality, and just such as people wish to cultivate, or must have peculiar advantages for speculation—but my opinion ie the former de scription belongs to it. Un the 24th ult., settlers in quest of land, and "genet sharks" made their resort to Decorrah district at ;no opening of the office there. Meanwhile the office which had been closed here for several weeks re opened, and now there is but little land loft for sale by "Uncle dam." Un would naturally suppose that persons would not migrate this time vi the year, but we have daily arrivals of emigrants. We have some sleighing here, and business is quite brisk. Uur streets no nut present such scenes, for "NEW Year's Day," as you are accustomed to in the Espy—no such festivity, but regular business opera tions. I am quite sorry to state that an almost fatal af fray occurred yesterday in front of the house I am now writing in, (City hotel.) An individual by the AIWA of White, a runner for a house of ill-tame, stabbed two persons named Saunders and Costello, in which the former was supposed to be fatally wounded, but this morning, I learn, he is 00IIVII.CS cent. The whole party concerned are reckless fel lows, and this was the eifeet of a quarrel which or4inated in an assignation house on nunday night. Taira - learn, is the first event of the kind for this city, and about the closing scene for '55. Persons that oonduct• themselves properly, and mind their owribusiness, need tear no such consequences in the Wag—. Respectfully, _ J.

OF RENZI:I:E.—From the above table the great increase in the productiveness of the Co lumbia and Philadelphia Railroad, for the month of December, will be seen at a glance. It presents a gratifying state of facts for the taxpayers of the Conunonivealth. It will be noticed tax the increase over the corresponding month of last year is about 60 per cent: In the State Legislature, on Wednesday, the Gov ernor's vote of the Compensation bill of last ses,ion was taken up, and the bill negatived by a anent. , mane veto. In the Rouse, Mr.4ohtiston introduced a bill for the repeal of the "Jug Law," and to re store the license system. Several new Bank bills have also been read. The steamship Star of the West sailed from New York, on Wednesday, for San Juan, with a large party of filibusters. Only fire arrests were made by the U. S. Marshal. Tile municipal election in Pittsburg, on Tuesday, resulted in the election of the if now-Nothing candi date for Mayor, Mr. Bingham. No other result was expected, inasmuch as there were two candidates (Democratic and-Fusion) running against him. Two bids have been received by the Governor, and laid before the Legislature, for the purchase of por. Lions of the public works. The Harrisburg and Lan easter Railroad Company proposes to give tr'l,ooo,ooo for the Columbia and Philadelphia Railroad—paya ble in eight annual payments, with Sper cent. inter est. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company proposes to buy the whole of the Main Line at $7,500,000 payable in ten annual payments, from July, 1875, w,th 5 per cent. interest—and agree to keep the Eastern and Western canals open until the North Western road is completed. They propose also to buy the Columbia Railroad alone at the cost of construc tion. They require the repeal of the tonnage tax, and that the state yield tho right to purchase the Pennsylyanite Railroad. We hope the Legislature will put their veto on any suCh bids.. Another terrible railroad collision Occurred on Wednesday afternoon, between the Albany express train to New York, and a passenger train. Three persons - were killed and twenty-two wounded. The Governor has appointed 30SEPE. CASEY, Esq., now of Harrisburg, and at one time it member of Congress from the Union 'district, state Reporter of. the Supreme Court, in place of James Hepburn, Esq., deceased. The snow-storm of Saturday and Sunday week prevailed almost every where—east, west, north and eouth—blocking up the roads and delaying the mails. The cold also of the last week was intense— nothing equairto lt having occurred , in the last twen ty years: Wi.slintoxon, Jan. 10.—Lord John Russell, in January, 1853, wrote to Mr. Crampton a letter, de daring that the British Government intended to ad here strictly to the treaty negotiated April 19th, 1850, and not Resume any sovereignty direct or indirect, in Central America. Mi. Clayton having a knowledge of the transcript of that letter, on the files of the State Department, has induced the Sen ate to request the President to furnish a copy. Gen.

The reign of Philip the Second, embracing the last half of the sixteenth century, is one of the most important as well as interesting portions of our modern history. It is necessary to glance only at some of the principal exents.— The War of the Netherlands—the modal, so to sant of our own glorious war of the Revolution; the alege of Malle, and its memorable defence by the Knights of St. Jobber; the brilliant career of Don John of Aust • the _ - tietri of Lepan to; the Quixotic adventures of Don it of Pdrtugal; the conquest of that by the Duke of - Alba; Philip's union with Mary of England, and his wap with Elizabeth, with the story of the Invincible Armada;' the Inquisition, with its train of woes; the rebellion of the Moriscos, and the cruel manner in which It was avenged—these form some of the prominent topics in the foreground of the picture; which presents a crowd of subordinate details of great interest in regard to the character and court of Philip and the institu tions of Spain—then in the palmy days of her prosperity. The materials for this vast theme were to be gathered from every part of Europe; and the author has for many years been collecting them from the archives of different capitals. The archives of Slautncas, in particular, until very lately closed against even the native historian, hes been opened to his researches; and his collections has been fur ther enriched by MSS. from some of the principab houses in Spain, the descendants of the great men of the aliteenth century.

D.. 1855, the Board of DlrectOrs sub mitted the following In making out a report of the proceedings of the Board of Directors of the " Barmen Mutual Insurance Company," for the past year, and a statement of the actual condition of the Company at this time, It is gratifying to the Direr. fors to find that the Company continues gradually to in crease ; and notwithstanding the losses which have been sustained by the company during the current year have been unusually great, the taxes necessary to remunerate those losses have been cheerfully, and with some Sew ex ceptions, punctually paid. Thus enabling the Directors to pay all just, and some which they considered unjust, claims. upon the Company. and leaving a balance of sev eral hundred dollars in the Treasury to meet any losses that may occur In future as the annexed statement of the Treasurer's account will show. Tho first fire of any magnitude, whirls occurred .during the year, was the barn and stable of Abraham Peters, of Manor township, which was burnt on the 31st, day of Starch last. The fire broke out in the early part of the day, but whether it originated by accident or design, has not been satisfactorily ascertained. The appraisers;report. ed the actual damage to be two thousand four hundred and seventy dollars, of which sum the company paid three-fourths, or $1853. The next fire occurred on the evening of the 24th of July, when a barn and its contents, belonging to the estate of John Bowers, deceased, in West Hempfield township, was struck by lightning, and entire ly consumed. The appraisers reported the actual. loss to be, for the barn $lOOO, and for the contents $5OO, making an aggregate of $l5OO, three fourths of which, being $1125 was paid by the company. Several small fires occurred cf which it is destined unnecessary to take any special notice here, as the names of the sufferers and the amount pild are distinctly set torch n the Treasurer's account: But the company sustained another loss, to which the Directors advert with a great deal of reluctance, as it was wholly unexpected, and according to their apprehen sion, manifestly unjust. In the spring of 1851. the barn warehouse and other buildings, owned by Michael W. May, of Donny township, were destroyed by tire. The build ings were entered for insurance in the " Farmers' Mutual Insurance Company. - A difficulty occurred with Mr. May, in regard to the insurance of the contents of his ware house, being a part of his dry goods and gi ocery store; he demanding several hundred dollars more than the direc tors, according to their understanding, and construction of the By-Laws, felt themselves justified in paying. Final ly Mr. May commenced a suit against the company, and soon afterwards deceased. The Directors hearing no more of this suit, supposed that it had been entirely abandoned; but sometime last winter, it was revived. and urged to a trial by the administrator of Mr. May. The Directors ern played able counsel to defend the company, brit, contrary to their expectation, the decision of the Court was against them, andthey were compelled to pay a larger sum than Mr. May had ever demauded. This circumstance aug mented the liabilities of the company, and considerably increased the amount of tax for the present year. Two assessments have been made during the yearito meet those liabilities, the greater part of which has been collected. During the year that is now brought to a close 189 new policies have been issued, covering property to the amount of $435,378 And the addition to the old policies amount to the aggregate to 47 , 314 Making a total Increase of $182,692 During the same period 129 policies have been can celled, covering property to -the amount of $239,6615 And alterations on other policies, diminish tog the amount of Insurance, amounts to 29,21 t, Making a reduction of $259,876 Mitch being deducted from thelncretse leaves an actual gain of $222,816 The whole amount of property now insured by the Former' Mutual Insurance Company, is three million one hundred and elevate thousand strati hundred and forty four dollars, (3,111,744.)

In addition to the above there' is still a considerable balance of the last assessments that has not yet been paid Into the Treasury, brit the arrearages are now placed In the hands of collectors, with Instructions to urge payment as speedily as possible; and It is hoped that those who have not yet paid, will see the propriety of doing so with out further delay.

LETTER IN REFERENCE TO THE Lands of the Ridgway Farm= and Coal Company.— Prom George Taylor, Esq., Deputy Postmaster of Kersey P. 0., Elk county, Pennsylvania: OCTOBER 22d, 1855. .11Essaa. EDITORS:—Being Deputy Postmaster at this place, frequent inquiries are made at this office of the quality and mineral worth of the Ridgway Farm and dgrlcul tural Com pany's lands. These lands lay scattered around thla place. To give a description of It, such as any person can rely on, I must, eve - a description - Of:thelands ltdJplxilgg,..-wlateliatoitfien sold -and. ate of your 'variable 'col umns allow me to answer all former inqUirlbs, and I hope to be troubled by no more letters. The soli here is a good ilruestone soil, well adapted to winter grain, such as wheat and rye; and for summer grain, such as oats, early buckwheat and potatoes, it cannot be beat. Grass grows well, and it Is, literally %peaking, a grazing country, as our forests abouhd In the best of pas ture. It Is tho best county for etock ; know of in this State. I Slink, in time : it will become the second butcher's county to New York. In regard to coal—lu fact It Is a perfect body of coal—l know in this neighborhood several good.ocial..mines, aye, aging 4 to 0 feet veins, - of the best Bituminous Coal. I scarcely know of a singe farm but 'What has more or less coal. On a farm owned by Jacob Taylor, Esq., about a half mile fawn here, a bank was opened last fall which meas ured 8 feet one way, and is now worked 5 feet deep. How Much deeper it may be I cannot tell; as the bottom has not been reached. This is the cue In many places in this see• Min of the county. It also abounds in the best of Limestone. There is plenty of Iron Oro found here. I have frequently found the best of Iron Ore on the top of the ground: But there never has been any thorough search made about here. In St. Mary's, six miles from hero, there have been; some veins opened of from 0 to 9 feet of the best rock ore. The Timber in this county cannot 'tea beat any place. It consists of the best of pine, hemlca, cherry, oak, sugar maple and beech, all of first growth and healthy. The pine Is probably the best in the five counties, and a very certain business is made by making shingles during the winter and sending them in the spring to Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louisville, an. One merchant in this village took in eight hundred thousand shingles in one season . The county, in fact, has' every facility, and wh'en'tmaid;the railroads are finished, you ratty depend this will bicome the garden of Western Pennsyltania. As regards the Company, I know nothing; but Judging from their selection of land, and from the excitement among the knowing ones, I should judge It will be of great advantage to the Stockholders.- - Land in this county Ls raising fast, =idles advanced from 50 to 100 per cent. since the Sunbury.! and Erie Railroad has been reduced to a certainty. This road once finished and I pledge you no county in this State will be able to excel it. GEORIiE TAYLOR. Jan 1 tf 50 Deputy P. M.
