Sy. LOUIS, Jan: 14, DO&
I have jest returned from a visit to Chicago, and
...
not say, was agreeably disappointed in the place.
• y this visit I have been fully convinced that Chi
•ago is entitled to all, and more, too, of the many
flattering notices given to it. No city, perhaps, in
• e Union h.titnade such rapid strides to wealth and
eatnees as that city. 'When we consider that a few
ears ago Chicago was but a mere village, and now a
, at arid. populous city, we can scarcely realize
hat our own eyes can see. Itspopaletion now num
• ars upwards of 90,000, and daily increasing. They
ve a great many wooden or frame houses, it is true;
hut at tne semis' time can boast of some of the finest

•re fast superceding wood, and in. a few years the
atter will be entirely abandoned. Yon cannot go
n any part of the city but what you will see hue
• eds or new and substantial buildings going up, and
• ecome at once convinced of the future greatness of
hat young city. Improvement is visible in every
• irection, and the proper spirit and enterprise seem
• characterize its citizens, and no distant day Chi
ago will rank among the first cities of the West.
They have just completed their new Court House
tending in thece ntre of a block, with a large and
• eautiful yard, set with shade trees and laid off in
-elks, and the whole surrounded with iron-railing.
his structure is sabitantially put up with large
•
kite stone, and its commanding position, and beau
tiful appearance at once attracts the attention of the
stranger. Everything about this building is conve- •
Meat for the purpose for which it was intended, and
finished in the most magnificent style.
The public houses of Chicago are constantly
•rotvded by the many travellers and strangers arri
ving on the cars from all sections. It is almost in
credible, and no one can have the slightest idea of
the extent of railroad Lines centering at that point.
There are in the neighborhood of seventy trains ar
riving and departing daily, and they are generally
well filled with passengers.
paid a visit whilst to the famous public house
called "Young America," and everything connected
with it is conducted in a most superior style. The
building itself is the most magnificent 1 have ever
seen, and furnished throughout in the most elegant
and costly manner. Chicago is not seen until you
drop in and take a peep at ••Young America!"
In speaking of public houses, I must not forget to
mention the "Sherman House,'.' as being one of the
beat in the city, and travellers would consult their
own interest and comfort by making thit their stop
ping place when visiting the city. Everything in
and around the city is frozen up, in consequence of
which business is very much depressed. They had
most excellent sleighing whilst 1 was there.
. I will now proceed to give you a brief outline of
my adventures on the prairies. Un Monday morn
ing at 9 o'clock we left Chicago for St. Louis, with
the theromometer at 15 deg. below zero. A great
deal of anew was on the track, which throw us some
what behind time. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
we encountered the snow-drifts, and stuck fast. We
were now out on a prairie and six miles distant from
the town of Pontiac. Here our engine froze up, and
here we were on a prairie .in the face of a violent
wind: As luck had it we were well supplied with
wood. Our "signals" were set out in the snow to
preVent trains from either way running into us.—
The following we were in the same place—no train
or no one coining to our assistance. About a moo
distant we discovered a house, and several of us
made our way through the snow to it, fur the pur
pose of getting food and water. On our arrival, and
after explaining our situation, the man of the house
very kindly proffered all the provisions• ho had to
those suffering fur food; but, as every thing was
either buried or securely put away, it was 1 o'clock
before our meal was ready, and I felt like eating
everything within my reach--for 36 hours had ex
pired without tasting a mite or drinking a drop of
water. We returned to the cars refreshed, and re
ported progress, when a general rush was made to
the good old ruan's •house—standing solitary and
alone on an open prairie. Tho lacy of the house
cooked until she was so tired that she was obliged
to give it up, but kindly offered us, all she had if
we could get cooks to prepare the meals. Fortunate
ly there were five ladies on the train---three of them
volunteered and waded through the snow to the
house, rolled up their sleeves and went to work; but
long before the passengers were supplied with a
meal each, the provisions gave out, and many had
to go without. To give you an idea how cold it was,
1 will relate one fact—the milk and sugar froze on
the table whilst we were eating, and the gravy froze
on the plate that contained the meat. About 5 o'-
clock a locomotive hove in sight, and after many in
effectual attempts to reach the train—froze in her
self. Another engine was dispatched to our relief,
and after taking the frozen in engine some four or
five miles to a switch, returned' after us, and succeed
ed in drawing us within four miles of Lexington,
when she, tau, froze up.. Here we were without a
stick of wood and none to be had nearer than Lex
ington. it was now about 8 o'clock ut night—and
I mink the coldest one I ever experienced. Those of
the pasrangers, ur rather some of them, becoming
desperate for the want of food, started on foot for
Lexington, and a more thoroughly set of used up
men could not be bound—some bad their noses and
face frozen, others their feet, legs and hands—before
nothing the town. Our wood, as f said before, was
cortipletely out, and the only alternative left was to
burn the seats of the cars; but, about I o'clock at
night, and after several of the seats had been burn
ed, a wagon arrived from Lexington with wood and
provisions—two large sized cheeses and two sacks of
crackers ; the cheese was so badly frozen that we
had to kick pieces off with the heels of our boots, and
then thaw it on the stove before it could be eaten.—
Those who never eat cheese before, eat and relished
it upon this occasion—cheese was on our boots—
cheese was on our clothes—in our hair-4n our pock
ets and our stomachs—cheese was on the floor, on the
seats and on the stove, and in a word, cheese
was in every hole and corner where cheese
could possibly get. One engine after another
was dispatched to our assistance, and eight of them
froze up before reaching us; the ninth one, however,
managed to 'draw one or two of the others into Lex
ington where they were again fixed up, and again
sent on their mission, and about two o'clock Wednes
day afternoon we were drawn into Lexington, and
reached St. Louis on Thursday afternoon, satisfied
that the next time we visit Chicago we.shall endea
vor to avoid the St. Louis, Alton and Chicago rail
way—particularly if in cold weather. The ther
mometer at Lexington—protected from the winds—
stood at .30 deg. below zero, and it could not have
less than five degress colder on the open prairies.—
I almost forgot to state that the cheese and crackers
above alluded to, were sent to us at the expense of
the Railroad Company.
About a week since the river blocked up" oppo
site this city, and the ice is now very heavy. Pe
destrians and teams have been crossing for several
days. The ferry boat has a channel, cut through
which it runs, conveying freight, .dm. to and from
the city. The weather has been quite cold here du
ring the week—thermometer ranging between 10
and 25 deg. below zero, but is now moderating.—
Some 5 or 6 persons have froze to death in the city
during the past week.
The late Railroad Law passed by the Legislature
over the Governor's veto, is now the cause of much
talk. The Governor has imagined that he has found
a "mare's nest," and declares the Law 'totem.: titu
tionai. Steps, however, are being taken by several
of the Railroad Companies with the intention of
testing the constitutionality of the law before the
Supreme Court.
The Printers of this city are making preparations
for a grand supper on the 11th inst. in commemora
tion of the forthcoming anniversary of Franklin's
birth-day.
Miss Matilda Heron is now playing an engagement
at the "St. Louis Theatre," and the troupe of Span
ish Dancers have just concluded one ht the " I?eo
ple's"—to be followed this evening by Mr. McAllis•
ter, the Magician.
The steamship Mediator was burned at Diamond
Bend on the night of the 4th inst. Boat and cargo
a total loss—insurance on vessel $13,000. No lives
were lost.
The Legislature of Mississippi is now in session—
both branohes aro Democratic, and in all probability
the Hou. Jeff. Davis, present Secretary of War, will
be chosen U. S. Senator. lie is a candidate fur the
office.
The Wisconsin Legislature is also in session. Bash
ford, the defeated Republican candidate for (lover
nor will contest the election of Gov. Barstow. Bash
ford called on Gov. Barstow in the Legislative Cham
ber, and demanded possession of the office.
The Indiana State Democratic Convention mot a,
Indianapolis on the Sth, and nominated A. P. Wil
lard, for Governor. The second day's proceedings
have not been received.
The Benton Democrats and Anti-Benton Demo
orate of this city met on the Bth, and each appointed
delegates to the State Convention to be held in Jef
ferson City on the 4th of April next. Thus far there
is no probability of a union of the two wings—the
Know-Nothings are, rejoicing at.this division in the
Democratic ranks.
The territory of Kansas is now quiet. The Free
State Constitution has been adopted by a large ma
jority. The territorial officers and delegate to Con
gress are to bo elected to.morrow (the 15th inst.) It
is now believed that the "border ruffians" will not
penetrate the territory farther than the river towns,
and a disturbance at those towns is apprehended.—
So far as their vote is concerned, the remaining
towns will greatly overbalance. The worst is now
over in Kansas, and the future will be more pleasant
and agreeable to the settlers than the past. Let all
those who design making Kansas their /attire homes,
lose no time in getting there—no more danger is
now apprehended from the "ruffians" as Gen. Atch
ison has withdrawn fr -- -- blic life—he is no lon
ger a candidate for T or any other office
tither State or more sensible man
than his warmest dm twist).

SIX RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.—We publish this
morning, says the New York Times, the re
port of Six Railroad accidents, on the lines
between this city and Chicago, and a majori
ty of them are of a serious character. Still
another accident occurred on Tuesday after
ternoon, on the Hudson River Road, which
injured a man so severely that ho is not ex
pected to recover. Another • occurred on the
Harlam Railroad, by which a woman's neck
was broken. Two occurred on the New York
Central, and ono not far from Chicago. An
extraordinary number, even Linder existing
circumstances whidli are very. much against
safe travelling. There does not seem to have
been anything of importance elicited by the ju
ry having in charge an investigation into the
cause of the accident at the% Spuyten Dunyvel
Bridge, which was not previously known. A
high wind and tide, and an unusual accumu
lation of ice s are the only causes given for the
occurrence of the accident.
We would advise all who desire to travel
Westward, if they value their lives, to travel
over the Pennsylvania Central Road, instead
of taking the chance of either being killed or
drowned oil the New York Roads.—Pena'n.

SIIoCKING CASUALTY IN PORT PERRY—Two
YOUNG MEN BURNED TO DEATH.—Ott the 2nd
inst., it was our unpleasant duty to chronicle
the death of two children by fire in Temper
anceville, adjoinidg, this city ; and today we
are called upon to record a somewhat similar
casualty which happened in the village of
Port Perry, on the Monongahela river, at the
mouth of Turtle Creek, about twelve miles
front this city. On Monday night last, about
eleven o'clock, fire was discovered in a house
owned by Col. Win. L. Miller, and occupied
by an Irish family named Gallagher. The
fire caught in the first story, after the inmates
had retired, and the flames spread with great
rapidity. Thomas Gallagher, aged fourteen
years, and a young unmarried man named
Owen Conner, perished in the burning build
ing. Mrs. Gallagher was seriously burnt
while rescuing 'her youngest children. Mr.
Conner worked on the Pennsylvania railroad,
and boarded with Gallagher. The building,
with nearly all its contents, was destroyed.=
The bodies were taken from the ruins, and an
inquest held by 'Squire William M. Shaw, of
Versailles township. The jury found a ver
dict of "accidental burning."
As this accident is supposed to have origi
nated trout precisely the sante cause as the
catastrophe in Temperanceville, (vie.: by
coals of fire falling from the grate and rolling
upon the floor,) it conveys an awful warning
to parents to see that their fireplaces are
properly protected by fenders, before retiring
to ret , t.—Pittsburg Union.
WHAT A NEWSPAPER DOES FOR NOTHING.-
The fd owing article should be read and pin
dered wo by every man who takes a news
paper without paying fin• it in advance:
The result of my observation enables me to
state as a fact, that the publishers of newspa
pers arc more poorly rewarded than any class
of men in the United States, who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for
less pay, to stand more sponging and "dead
heading." to puff and defend morepeople with
out fee or hope of reward, than any other
class.
They credit wider and longer ; get oftener
cheated : suffer more pecuniary loss ; and are
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence,
than any other calling in the community.—
People pay a printer's bill more reluctantly
than any other. It goes harder for them to
expend a dollar on a valuable newspaper,
than ten un a needless gewgaw, yet every body
avails himself of the use of the editor's pen
and printer's ink. How many professional
and political reputations and fortunes have
been made and sustained by the friendly
though unrequited pen of the editor? How
many embryo towns and cities have been
brought into notice, and puffed intowprosperity
by the press? How many railroads, now in
successful operation, would have foundered
but fur the assistance of the "lever that moves
the world :" in short, what branch of Ameri
can industry or activity, has not been promo
ted, stimulated and defended by the press?
And who has tendered it more than a mis
erable pittance for its mighty services? The
bazaars of fashion, and the haunts of appetite
and dissipation, are thronged with an eager
crowd, bearing gold in their palms, and the
commodities there vended are sold at
enormous profits, though intrinsically worth
less, and paid for with scrupulous punc
tuality ; while the counting room of the news
paper is the seat of jewing, cheapening, trade,
orders and pennies. It is made a point of
honor to liquidate a grog bill, but not of dis
honor to repudiate a printer's bill.

"specifics" have been the result of the incubation, they
have not only proved to be valueless, but many of them
positively injurious to the hair and scalp—being the inci
pient of scald-head and various other painful and danger
ous cutaneous disorders.
. . . .
Uron l'rof. O. J. Wood, of St. Louis, fortune has confer
reilthe honor of having discovered a balsamic preparation,
which not only promotes the growth and beautifies the
hair la a high degree, but restores it when it is gone, or
turns it back to its original color after It has become gray,
fastens It to the scalp, and effectually destroys such cuts
aeons eruptions as may have been engendered by the use
of dyes, essential oils, find other injurious applications.—
The many respectable testimonials which are offered in its
favor, from every part of the country In which it has been
introdUced, leaves no loop for the sceptic to hang a doubt
on. The great demand for this article in the eastern Stites,
has induced the proprietors to establish a depot for Its
manufacture and sale in the city of New York. It is fast
supplanting all other specifics for the Hair and already
enjoys a popularity which no other has ever attain
ed. Buy it—test it—and you will rejoice that your atten
tion has been directed to it.

PERMANENT RECORD FOR COMMON
COMMON " Permanent Record" of
the attendance, condition, and progress of the Common
Schools of the State of Penna. is now ready for delivery to
those who have for some time, been waiting its announce
ment.
This book is not attempted to be bolstered up by the pa.
rade of a string of flat, unmeaning, complimentary notices
given out of a spirit of courtesy (for a gratis copy.) It is
not a big book, overloaded with senseless unnecessary LW
tall; it does not record the name and the number of
times a child is whipped in school (disgraceful;) it is not
filled with hieroglyphic stuff, about as easily understorsi as
that on an Egyptian monument. In a word it was not pre
pared by A. Row. But it Is a clear simple conformity to the
requirements of the Common Schooklaw; free from errors
and blunders of all kinds, showing at a glance, (so that all
can understand it) the name and age of the Pupil. "Books
-used," Branches taught," "attendance," "Progress and con
duct "iof each Scholar, besides the "general remarks"of the
teacher, &.c. In a word, it is Just TILE BOOK for the Com
mon Schools of our StaW, for which it was expressly made,
and the very beet eviderke of the fact Is, that the book has
been adopted by every Board of Directors before whom it
has been laid. Manor township (and a number of others)
did not give It s cheap complimentary notice but spoke in
the following manner:
Resolved, That one copy of the "Permanent Shool Re
cord" published by W. IL Spongier, be placed in each of
the Twenty-one Schools of oar District.
Signed, - ABM. BAUSMAN, Prelet.
JACOB SEISE, SlSey.
It was not taken, (mind the fact) for SIX out of the 21,
or 40 odd Schools, which was the case when our City Board
adopted a certain Book, but for the 21 Schools of the die•
trict.
Price of the work, $1,50.
A reasonable reduction made to Boards of Directors, or
tear.hans forming themselves Into clubs of 5 or more.

dersigned hare published, at considerable expense,
the above work prepared by Hr. Amos Row, one of the
most experienced teachers in the State; and now otter it
with great confidence to Directors and Teachers, and espe
cially to those of Lancaster county.
It has been endorsed by the following gentlemen ' compe
tent to form a correct opinion of the merits of such a work:
Henry L. Dilfebach, County Supt of Clinton county.
J. P. Wickersham, Lauer
J. Pell, " Bucks
J. F. Stoddard, Principal of the Lancaster County Normal
School.
William G. Waring, Fag., of Centre county.
Prof. A. M. Gow, Washington county.
Hon A. L. Hayes " Lancaster county.
Wm. V. Davis, Principal of Male High School, Lancaster
city.
It. A. Futhey, Esq., County Supt. of Chester county.
Daniel Shelly, Esq.. " Cumberland county.
It has been adopted by the School Directors of the city of
Lancaster.
The Department Of Common Schools at Harrisburg has
also approved of it in tho following favorable terms:
“Scnoot ItzotaxErt—A. permanent School Registor is con
ducive to the proper organization and governmerit of the
Common Schools. The Register recently prepared by Mr.
Arno. Row, of Lancaster, is found, upon inspection, to bar.
monize substantially with the requirements of the 27th
section of the School Law of 1854, and the views of the De
partment. Directors are advised to introduce ouch a record
into the Schools ac soon as practicable."
As an act of Justice to the author and pUblisher, Direct
ors and Teachers are respectfully requested to examine the
-.Common School Registee" before adopting any:other. This
request is rendered necessary by the fact, that one of a
smaller size, and much more limited contents, has since
been hurriedly got up, to interfere with it. Of course the
publishers of the Common School Register, do not deny the
right of any to prepare and publish a Register on an ori
ginal plan, or one differing from timing but as the one allu
ded to, embraces little, if anything, more„than the monthly
reports, furnished by the State Department, at Harrisburg,
to the District; they do not fear the result of a close and
fair comparison, but on the contrary challenge such a test.

' ed, History of the Reign of Philip 11. By William 11.
Prescott. With Portraits, Maps, Plates, eze. 2 vole. Octavo.
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 events.—
The War of the Netherlands—the model, so to say, of our
own glorious war of the Revolution; the siege of Malta, and
its memorable defence by the Knights of St. John; the
brilliant career of Don John of Austrig the hero of Lepan
to; the Quixotic adventures of Don Sebastian of Portugal;
the conquest of that by the Duke of Alba; Philip's union
with Mary of England, and his wars with Elizabeth, with
the story of the invincible Armada; the Inquisition, with
its train of woes; the rebellion of the 3foriscos, 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 Simancas, in particular, until very
lately closed against even the native historian, inui been
opened to his researches; and his collections has been fur
ther enriched by MSS. from some of the principal houses
iu Spain, the descendants of the great men of the sixteenth
century. Such a colleltion of original documents has never
before been made for the illustration of this period.

The reading matter consists of a great variety of useful
and enfeerdining matter. Its editorals; domestic and for

LETTER IN REFERENCE TO THE
Lands of the Ridgway Farm and Coal Company.—
Prom George Taylor, Esq., Deputy Postmaster of Hersey P.
0., Elk county, Pennsylvania
mrsans. EDISOR3:—Being Deputy Postmaster at this place,
frequent inquiries are made at this office of the quality and
mineral worth of the Ridgway Farm and Agricultural Com
pany's lauds.
These lands lay scattered around. this place. To give a
description of It, such as any person can rely on, I must
give a description of the lands adjoining, which have been
sold and are cultivated. By moans of your valuable col
umns allow me to answer all former inquL-les, and I hope
to be troubled by no more letters.
The soil here is a good limestone soil, well adapted to
winter grain, such as wheat and rya and for summer grain,
such as oats, early buckwheat and potatoes, it cannot ~ . 19
beat. Grass grows well, and it fa, literally 'speaking, a
grating country, as our forests abound in the best of pas
ture. It is the best county for stock I know of in this State.
I think, in time, It will become the second butcher's county
to New York.
In regard to coal—in fact it Is a perfect body of coal—l
know in this neighborhood several grad coal mines, aver.
aging 4to 8 feet veins, of the beat Bituminous Coal. I
scarcely know of a single farm but what has more or less
coal. On a farm owned by Jacob Taylor,Esq., about a half
mile frau here, a bank wee opened la st fall which meas.
tired I feet one way, and is now worked 5 feet deep. Ilow
much deeper It may be I cannot tell, as the bottom has not
been reached. This Is the case In many places in this sec
tion of the county.
It also abounds In the beet of Limestone. There Is plenty.
of Iron Ore found here. I have frequently found the best
of Iron Ore on the top of the gonad. But there never has
been any thorough search made about here. In St. Mary's,
six miles from here, there have been some veins opened of
from 0 to 9 Get of the best rock ore.
The Timber in this county cannot be beat any place. It
consists of the beet of pine, hemlock, cherry, oak, sugar
maple and beech, all of first growth and healthy. The pine
is probably the best in the live counties, and a very, certain
business is made by making ehinglee during the winter
and sending them in the spring to Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
Louisville, 4.c. One merchant in this village took in eight
hundred thousand shingles in one season. The county, in
fact, has every facility, and when once the railroads are
finished, you may depend this will become the garden of
Western Pennsylvania. 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 is raising fast, and has advanced from
60 to 100 per cent. since the Sunbury and Erie Railroad
bail been reduced to a certainty. This toad once finished
and I pledge you no county in this State will be able to
except. GEORGE TAYLOR,
