The weather has contlatt ed mild and pleasant since
our last date, but Ice still lingers In places not exposed to
the sun. The weather, however, Li still cold enough to
form thin ice daring the nights. This has beim a protract
ed winter, and spring will be a most welcome harbinger to
.thousands who have undergone and withstood the severe
cold of the past winter months. The Upper Mississippi it
is now open to Davenport—some three hundred and fifty
miles—and the Illinois river as far up as Peoria. Now
that these channels are open for the transportation of pro
duce, large receipts from thew avenues may be expected.
Business Is now fairly commenced, and every body seems
to have their hands fall. Transactions on the produce
market are very limited, and . nothing has yet taken place
to form a criterion for future operations. Thousands of
dollars will be lost on corn—the article is net at almost any
price. Some folks, before the season la over, will wish that
"corn was two dollars a bushel."

There is nothing of interest transpiring in Hansa.. All
Is quiet. The Legislature has adjourned, after passing
several acts and electing Reeder and Lane as U. S. Sena'
tors. The Kansas Enterprise contains the following notice ,
which is a rare opportunity to mechanics desirous of com
ing West this spring:
WANTED AT KANSAS CITY. Carpenter°, Stem-ma
sons, Stone-cutters, Brick-makers, Brick-layers, Me
chanics of all kinds, add Laborers, can find constant em
ployment, and the highest wages, at Kansas City. There
is no tear of too many coming.
Newspapers, by giving this as an item of news in their
columns, may do much for young, active mechanics in
want o{ profitable employment. Bass it round.
The steamer Excel, bound for this city, rau upon a bar

She was worth $6,000. The boat is a total loss.
The establishment of the "St. Louis Oil Manufacturing
C 0.," was destroyed by tare on Friday morning last. The
building and about SOO barrels of oil and a large quantity
of rosin and other material for manufacturing purposes
were consumed. The loss is estimated at $lO,OOO, upon
which there is no insurance, and the loss falls upon the
stockholders.
Yesterday atternoon it thundered and lightened for the

and the ground now presents the appearance of dreary

Yours,
Millard Fillmore
The following letter from the Hon. Millard
Fillmore, the Know-Nothing candidate fur the
Presidency, is especially recommened to the
Southern people, whose interests are particu
larly involved in the approaching Presiaential
contest. It will be admitted, we presume,
that the antecedents of a politician furnish the
beet proof of the principles which control him
—and if this rule of judgment is applied in
his case then, we ask, what claim has Mr.
Fillmore upon the suffrages of the Southern
people? Had he been President in 1845, it
is fair to presume from his published senti
ments a few years previous, that the flourish
ing State of Texas would not now be a part
and parcel of this glorious Union—and, sim
ply, because she licognized Slavery in ccm
ruon with the other Southern States. Can the
South,
- (although controlled by Messrs. Web
ster and Clay, Mr. F.was forced to sanction
the Compromise Measures of 1850,) now trust
him, when Abolitionism has become so for
midable in many of the Northern States ?
We think not.
Letter of Mr. Fillmore to the Erie Abolitionists
BUFFALO, October 17, 1838.
SIR : Your communication of the 15th inst.
as chairman of a committee appointed by "the
Anti-Slavery Society of the county of Erie,"
has just come to hand. You solicit my ens.
wer to the following interrogatories:
Ist. Do you believe that petitions to Con
gress on the subject of slavery or the slave
trade ought to be received, read and respect
fully considered by the representatives of the
people?
2d. Are you opposed to the annexation of
Texas to the Union, under any circumstances,
so long as slaves are held therein ?
3d. Are you in favor of Congress exercising
all the constitutional power it possesses, to
abolish the internal slave trade between the
States ?
4th. Are you in favor of immediate legisla
tion, for the abolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia ?
I am engaged, and have no time to enter
into an argument, or to explain at length my
reasons for my opinion. I shall therefore con
tent miself for the present, by answering all
your interrogatories in the affirmative, and
leave to some future occasion a more extended
discussion of the subject.
I am, respectfully, your most obedient ser
vant, MILLARD FILLMORE.
W. Mats, Esq., Chairman.
CANALS IN CALIFORNIA.—There are now in
California four thousand five hundred and
ninety-three miles of canals, whilst last year
the number was not so great by three thous
and four hundred and twenty-nine. Added
to this great inorease, one hundred and twelve
more canals have already been commenced,
and they will probably be completed in an
other year. Among these is the Sierra Neva
da Mountain Canal—an immense work—ten
feet in width at the bottom, fourteen feet wide
at the top, and designed, with its branches, to
extend over about one hundred and fifty miles.
The value of the canals atpresent completed
in the State is estimated at $6,241,700, an in
crease over last year of $4,047,700. There
are fifty nine quartz mills in operation, crush
ing two hundred and twenty thousand tons
per annum, and realizing $4,082,190.
Bill for the Bale of ldoin Lane
The following is a synopsis of a bill now
pending in the Le&latiare for the sale of the
Main Line of the Public Works to the Sunbu
ry and Erie Railroad Company, will, we think,
hardly receive a favorable consideration from
that body. It is very objectionable in several
of its features; and, in addition, it is alleged
that, if that Company' an purchase, they in
tend to sell it to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. Thus, this mammoth monopoly is
trying to effect indirectly, what they cannot
accomplish directly. We hope to see the bill
disposed of in a summary manner. The bill
provides :
"Ist. For the sale of the Main Line of the
Public Works, from Philadelphia to Pittsburg,
including the tax on tonnage passing over the
Pennsylvania Railroad, to the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad Company, for the sum of seven
millions five hundred thousand dollars, the
whole amount to be secured by a first mortage
to the State, on the whole line of the road of
the said Company, extending from Sunbury
to the ha/ bur of Erie, with interest at the rate
of six per cent. per annum.
"2d. The said company, or their assigns,
also to execute simultaneously a mortage for
$7,500,000 upon the said line of the Public
Works to be transferred to them—s4,ooo,ooo
of the bondeby this last mortage to be held
by the State Treasurer, as additional security
for the said purchase money, until the same
shall be secure; by the progress of the work
of the said Company.
3. When the said Company shall have ex
pended in the further construction of their
work the sum of three millions five hundred
thousand dollars, in addition to the 4,000,000
already expended or provided, and alsU have
raised another million "of dollars by private
subscription, (tatting their whole investment
in the said work $8,800,000) the State Treas
urer shall surrender to them one million of
dollars of the bonds so held by him as addi
tional security ; and fur each subsequent addi
tion to their capital of $1,000,000 by the said
Cumpzu,y, the State Treasurer shall surrender
to them an additional $1,000,000 of the. bonds
so held as additional security,—the last $2,-
000,000 o! said bonds not to be au surrendered
until authorized by a joint resolution of the
Legislature, who must then be satisfied of the
security ; so that the last $2,000,000 are sub-
ject to the future action of the Legislature,
and the State will at all times be secure by au
investment on the part of the Company to
double the amount of the bonds secured upon
their works.
" sth. The tonnage tax to be collected and
paid into the State Treasury as heretofore until
the completion of the Sunbury and Erie Rail
road to the Harbor of Erie, and credited semi
annually on account of interest on the pin:-
chase money of said works. Ten per cent, of
the purchase money to be due and payable
in ten years, and ten per cent. of the balance
annually thereafter, until the whole amount
is paid.
"sth. tu default of payment of interest or
of any instalment of the principal for ninety
days after maturity, the State may sue out the
mortage and sell all, the property of the com
pany as in other cases of mortage of real es
tate."
Some discussion having taken place upon
the position of Mr. Buchanan on the Kansas-
Nebraska bill, we are permitted to copy the
following extract from a letter addressed by
Mr. Buchanan to Senator Slidell, dated Lon
don, on the 28th of December last, when there
seemed to be no difference as to Mr. Buchan
an's thorough identity with the Democratic
party on this, as on all other issues. It will
be seen that Mr. B. speaks of the Kansas-Ne
braska bill with his usual frankness and de
cision. We are confirmed in our impression,
by the letter, that no man, no sot of men, and
no newspaper, are at all warranted to speak
authoritatively for Mr. Buchanan upon thisor
any other question. his own words speak fur
themselves.
The letter of Mr. Buchanan was not, it will
be seen, intended for publication, but the gen
tleman to whom it was addressed has thought
it necessary, after the editorial article in the
Union of Wednesday last, to lay it before the
country :
"The question haii been settled by Congress,
and this settlement sholild be inflexibly main.
tained. The Missouri Compromise is gone,
and gone forever. But no assault should be
made upon those Democrats who maintained
it, provided they are now willing in good faith
to maintain the settlement as it exists. Such
an understanding is wise and just in itself.
"It is well known how I labored in compa
ny with Southern men to have this line exten
ded to the Pacific ocean. But it has departed.
The time for it has passed away, and I verily
believe that the best—nay, the only—mode
now left of putting down the fanatical and
reckless spirit of Abolition at the North, is to
adhere to the existing settlement without the
slightest thought or appearance of wavering,
and without regarding any storm which may
be raised against it."
Philadelphia Whigs.
Hon. CHARLES GUNS, for many years May
or of the city of Philadelphia, and always a
Whig until the bulk of his party ran off to the
Know-Nothing holes, has joined the Democra
cy. He has made speeches at several Demo-
cratic meetings recently held in Philadelphia.
At the last meeting lie addressed, the following
resolution was passed unanimously :
Resolved, That standing, as we do, upon
the eve of one of the most momentous Presi
dential canvasses in the history of the nation,
it is with no ordinary feelings of solicitude
that we look around fur a fitting person to oc
cupy the position of Chief of the State. That
as Pensylyanians we feel pride in the fact that
the man who seems best qualified for that
great office, is to be found within the birders
of our own State, and we cordially endorse
the sentiment expressed by the late State Con
vention, that the Hon. James Buchanan is the
man whom the wishes of the people and the
good of the nation, demand for the office of
President.
ERCETEM
The Philadelphia News, which gives a strong
support to Fillmore, accuses Hon. Wm. B.
Reed, the 'distinguished District Attorney of
that city, with having declared himself in fa
vor of Mr. Buchanan. We have no doubt the
charge is, true ; and we imagine that if the
News pursues its investigations, it will find
plenty more prominent and even distinguished
Whigs, who have cast their last vote against
the Democratic party. It•is safe to say that
in the event of Mr. Buchanan's nomination
fur the Presidency, twenty thousand Pennsyl
vania Whigs, the best men of the old Whig
party, will vote for him against any Know-
Nothing, or Black RepubliCan, or '• mixed
breed," on the face of the earth.— Valley

THE GREATEST DISCOVERY OF THE AGE. — k-fi
PROFESSOR WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE.—This
preparation, although less than two years before the pub
lic, owing to its wonderful effects upon the human hair and
scalp, has already obtained a celebrity and sale perfectly
unparallelled. It has without the ordinary appliance used
for such purposes, won its way, and been heartily welcom
ed to most of the cities and towns in the United States the
Canadas, and the West India Islands. Nor is this result
surprising, when it is remembered that its popularity is
based upon its merits, solely as established by actual tests.
That this preparation will actually RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TU ITS NATURAL COLOR, produce a luxuriant growth
upon the heads of the bald, prevent the hair from falling
all, and when used as a toilet article, produce a continual
llow of the natural fluids, and thus render the heir soft,
glossy and wavy, destroy diseafies of the scalp, and expel
dandruff, the certificates of distinguished gentleroeu and
ladies, in every part of the country who hove tried it, and
therefore speak what they know, most frilly attest

Prof. 0. J. Wood—Dear Sir; I take pleasure in bearing
voluntary testimony to the magic effects of your wonderful
Rah Restorative. As far back as 1838 my hair commenced
falling off, until the top of my scalp became bald and smooth
as glass, and it has continued to fall for a great many years,
notwithstanding I have used many celebrated preparations
for its restoration. Seeing your advertisement, I was in

length, and growing very fast.

Hair Restorative, gray Hair can be permanently restored to

its wonderful effects. It is no longer problematic, but a
self-evident truth, as hundreds can testify.
