Letter from an Old Line Whig. It affords us very great satisfaction to pub lish the fallowing sound and able letter from the Hon. Wm. B. REED, of Philadelphia, in re ply to an invitation from the Demncracy of Pittsburg, to unite with them in celebrating the late anniversary of American Indepen dence. We ask for it the most careful con sideration. It presents the true questions now before the public mind, with remarkable clearness and vigor. It is hardly necessary for us to add that Mr. REED has been a leading and influential member of the late Whig party: DMIADEteels, June 30, 1850. have had the honor to receive your letter of Invitation. It would, I Assure you, give me great pleas ure to have the opportunity of guying to my fellow-citizens of Allegheny County, why I support the nomination of Mr. Buchanan earnestly and actively. But my engage ments here entirely preclude it. I should have peculiar satisfaction in being among you now, because my last visit to Pittsburg was on a very different errand. 1 was there two years ago, as a !panne! of what was supposed to be the Whig state °manatee, with ear earnest anxiety to pre from insult and defeat your fellow-citizen, George Darsie, a man of high character and unquestioned Integrity, and who, I thought, (and the reouit showed how truly,) was about to be sacrificed because his birthplace and very early childhood happened to h abroad. With what followed, I need not trouble you, but within the next year I found myself obliged by mere self respect publicly to renounce all active connexion with this Com mittee. My reasons are before my fellow-citizens—and I feel no little pride In the recollection that 1 did not wait till its moment of decay and discomfiture to express my antagonism to that unconstitutional and anti-Republican party, known as the Know-Nothing Organization. When I mad what I thought about it, it was in its full power of rniechlef. It is not necessary to speak of It now. Its bun est adherents (and theft were not a few) are leaving it.— Ita managers, and designers, and contrivers, ought never to be forgiven for having disfigured the political history of the country by the tradition, as it has now become, of a party which proscribed a mane religion and drew distinc tions between those whom the Constitution and laws make equal. It destroyed the old Whig party utterly and completely; and when I am now asked to vote fur Mr. Fillmina, an still a Whig, or for Mr. Dennison as a Democrat, I have a plain answer, that, as I understand It, each of these gentlemen became an adhering Knovr-Nothing, or a technical “Amer icam" passed the several degrees of the order, and took ha foolish and wicked oaths. if this be so—and It has been openly asserted and never denied—if Mr. Fillmore, an ex. President of the United States, ever took an oath or oblige don to exclude, or aid in excluding a map front public trust simply on account of hi, religion or his birth; it in `taking that obligation Le hod to purge himself from all sympathy or connexion with Catholics ur foreigners, how' aver innocent or respectable, then I cannot ; an a gentleman 'Zi 4 f an American citizen, vote for Mr. Fithuore.

Ile Is worthy of every honor the nation can bestow on him, although this time his fair ambition Cannot Ilk gratified. Mr. Day. ton stands on the Republican platf.rm, having within ten years as a Senator voted against extending the 3lissotiri Compromise line to the Patine ocean, and in favor el the Wilmot proviso; on the last quentiou, if 1 mistake not, re cording hie Vole itgailliit those of Daniel Webster and Hen ry Clay. Under these circumstances, 1 see n' especial claim this ticket has on Whig fidelity. But let me, In candor, ask how can any ceenueratiVe or national man, especially any Pennsylvanian, vote for the nominees This is a quasi ion I should be glad to put and have answered in your nearing. The nominee. titan was made in Philadelphia, and I had some oppoi toni cs of observing the influence, under whicti . it woo tomb, and the manner in which it has been received. Had the Convention been left to more disinterested impulses, It would have nominated Jelin McLean, of Ulna; tit whom it: may at least be said, Luisa tried public man. Still, though supported earnestly and heartily by Pennsylvania—and perhaps for that very reason, he had no chance-ahe was first withdrawn and then defeated. The managers and fanatic. had determined upon another nominee, and of iourse Pennsylvania was defeated, her delegates sullenly firing guns or dismal acquiescence over their buried candi. date. Mr. Fremont was nominated, and will be sustained, I fear, by the fiercest and most sectional fanaticism. 1 do not care to refer to individuals, but no one will question that the leading and moat active men in that convention - were gentlemen who were prtiud to call themselves -Aboli tionism" You know the opinions of the representatives from Western Pennsylvania. 1 can answer for those from the East. They are generally avowed and extreme enthu siasts. But the spirit that actuated the convention was not disguised. It was very boldly avowed. There now lies before me a copy of a Plaitadelphia newspaper, published at the time and favorable to the Republican cause, which records that Just before the nominatiOn, a delegate (Mr. Lovejoy, of Illinois,) said, he proclaimed himself an Abe. litionist—he thought the party had the disease, and before the campaign was through it would break out all over"— and thep, at this cutaneous prophecy, there am -tremen dous orienting" in the Convention. Now, gentlemen, it is useless to disguise what sentiment predominated in this body which now claims my allegiance and that of other 'conservative men. I most resolutely decline all such com panionship. I am bound by no such duty. 1 never will vote for any man who In put forward as a mere sectional candidate. It may not be uninteresting to you to know how Ibis sectional nomination has been received here In Philadel phia, the metropolis of the State. Certainly not with en thusiasm, for it seems to me that the men of business here, let the severance of sectional party ties be as painful as it may, will be found slow to sustain sectional candidates— to endorse by their votes extreme abolition, or any thing which looks like abolition—to put in jeopardy the great commercial interests they have been so long striving to create, and to run the risk of four years of turmoil and disturbance on this hateful question of slavery, with all adjuncts. Their second thought is fast teaching diem that litr. Buchanan uttered safe, and to them congenial doctrine,' when in his letter accepting the Cincinnati nomination, he said so truly and yet so simply, •most happy would It be for our.country if this agitation were at an end. During iti whole progress it has produced no practical good to any human being, whilst it has been the source of great and dangerous evils." This is exactly what I believe to be the prevalent sentiment in Philadelphia at this speraent, and I shall be much disappointed it every day's reflection does not strengthen.lt. But consenativemen have seen other influences at work, Which are no where so repugnant to public feeling as here in Philadelphia. They think they see in the management of the Republican canvass already the use of means that are wholly illegitimate. Ido not refer to the innocent at tempt to revive the musical tactics of ancient days, though I can hardly repress a smile at the idea of some of my Re. publican friends hereabouts becoming melodious. All this is innocent enough. But worse agencies are at work.— There is now before me a letter from the Hon. Charles Sum ner, endorsing the Fremont nomination, in which I find the following remarkable language : " Our declaration of principles," says Mr. Sumner, "ap peals to the foreign born, who, rejoicing in the privileges of American citizens, will not hesitate to join in this holy en. deavor to vindicate them against the aggressors of an oli garchy worse than any tyranny from which they hare fled.

Sr. Loam, July 7,1856. . The weather continued very warm and sultry up to the the morning of the 4th, when we were visited with a most delightful shower, which cooled the atmosphere in a great measure, and since which it has been very pleasant. The rain on the morning of the 4th contributed vastly to the corn and other growing crops. It Is now thought that the drought has not had as injurious an effect, as was at one time supposed, and accounts from the country put a bright. er coloring on the state of the crops. We may yet have an abundant harvest. New wheat is now arriving pretty free. ly, and commands from $l,lO to $1,25; old ranges for infe rior from 80 to 86, and choice qualities from $l,OO to $1,35 per bushel. Corn from 42 to 48c; Oats are scarce, and have advanced-48 to 50c aro now the ruling prime. Groceries of all kinds have advanced--sugars range from 8 to 10e, and molasses from 55 to 57c per gall; Whiskey has also gone up-32 to 33.- per gall., is now demanded and paid. This city can certainly boast of being the meet healthy In the Union. Usually at this advanced period of the sea son, sickness prevails to a greater or lees extent in all the Southern cities; but here in St. Louis we are free from all diseases Incident to the climate, and present a cleaner bill of health than any other city with half the population.— This fact it worthy of note, when we consider the alarming times of '49 and '6O. The National Anniversary was generally celebrated by our citizens—e x cursion by Steamboat and Rail Road were the order of the day. The military and the various socie ties and orders were on parade, and the day passed off with out anything occurring to mar the pleasures of the glorious fourth. Barbecues and plc-nice were found In all quarters, at which the candidates made epeechea and patriotic ones at that—all was.,poiriotion. There has been no new feature in our local affairs since my last. A new Catholic paper—the Daily Leader—made its first appearance on the let Inst. Judging from the few num bers already homed, It promises to be well and ably con ducted. It has espoused the cause of the Democracy, and advocate. the claims of James Buchanan and John C. Bruck- Inridge. The tone of the Loud, seems to favor, however the re-election of L. M. Kennett. the K. N. candidate fo; Congress in this district. The Catholics and the Irish have always supported Kennett when he run on the Whig ticket, and also et the last election when lie ran as the Know- Nothing candidate—and their votes, and their votes alone elected him, notwithstanding he is sworn to crush them the tirst opportunity offered. It is now believed they will rota for him again. If they do, we gi Ilcurely hope the K. N.'s will treat them as they deserve.

The Southerner and Saranak, No. 2. floated but a short distance and lodged against the stern of a boat lying about a square below. The burning wreck of the St. Clair broke laiiad and drifted duwu between the Southerner and Samuel,. setting them both on fire, and the two were, lu a few minutes, enveloped in dames. The fire was uo doubt the work of an Incendiary, as thu St. Clair was Iyhrg up and had nu fire ou board for two weeks. The watchman of the hat and s small boy were bleeping on the hurricane roof, and were obliged to Jump acre-board to escape the flames. it is thought that no lirea were lest. Most of the boats destroyed were old and of but little value—the zioutherner, however, was nearly new, and cost $:,i5,900 or i.. 40,000. The entire loss is estimated at sloo.o.o—about .{13,000 of this stein was insured In thi s city, and how much of the balance in other .places is not known—probably one-half of the loss. on the 25th ult., au election for coasty othcers, Sr., took place In Lee co., lowa, which resulted in an unprecedented victory to the Democracy—beating troth the K.

Lee county has led MI for Buchanan—in November next—the State is safe by.a large majority. The Blacks have even the audacity to claim Illi nols—when we are credibly informed by a gentleman from Illinois, that Buchanan will obtain four fifths of the old line Whig vote, and that titers is not a doubt iu his neigh borineid of Buchanan carrying the State by from 10,000 to ° 15,100. From Tennessee we hate most gratifying accounts favorable to the Democracy. Many of the most prominent Whigs—old leaders and champions of the Whig party— have taken the stump for Buck and Breck." The K. N.'s give it up already, and hope Mr. Fillmore may withdraw, simply to save his reputation, and themselves the mortifi cation of an overwhelming defeat. In Kentucky, the greatest enthusiasm prevails, and accounts from there look favorable for the Democracy. Large beta are offered on Bu chanan sweeping the State, and large odds are given, but there seems to be no one willing to risk their pile against the old Pennsylvania Wheel !toms: From Louisiana, Mississippi and the whole South the moat encouraging m•- counts reach its. All the bass• falsehoods, eowardly at tacks and damnable charges that ever disgraced the courts of publiejournalism, are raked up by the opposition presses and pointed at Mr. Buchanan. Every man who bus com mon sense, and knows the history of this country, is ac quainted, or should be, with the former position, character and political principles cf ull the great statesmen of the country; and all such men know that Mr. Buchanan stands as well, (if not better,)—on the "record," as any other liv ing statesman. All that can be said against him, will not detract a single vote from him, whilst thousands and tens of thousands have made up their minds to rally around the Buchanan flag for the sake of L'nion and in opposition to the isms of the age. A man who votes for Mr. Buchan an, votes for the Union and the Constitution—he Votes against sectionalism, and sectional factions: and the man who stands in that position, as does Mr. Buchanan, occu. pies a proud, a glorious, a noble stand, and all who know anything about our statesmen, knol that Mr. Buchanan ranks among the first; and the Union loving people in the South and West, as well as in the North and East, will show their attachment to the Union and their love for the Constitution, by elevating James Buchanan to the Presiden tial chair. The Whig National Convention, which met at Louisville on the 4th inst.,' rejected a resolution endot Shsg Fillmore as occupying the same position he has In former years. The proceedings have not cone to hand. Col. Benton is still on his tour through this State, and is received at every point in the most enthusiastic manner. The repudiation of Fremont has gained him hundreds of votes, whilst his advocacy of the claims of Mr. Buchanan will give him a much larger vote than he would otherwise have obtained.

Saanzasoa, Est.—Dear Sir:—l do not sae that you base noticed, what I conceive to be, an inconsistency of principiel In the Black - Republican Platform, adopted in the Philadelphia Conveintlon. In their third resolution, they affirm 'That the Constitution confers upon Congress sovereign power : over the Territories of the United States for their government;" and in their fifth resolution It Is affirmed, "That Kansas should;bo immediately admitted as a State of the Union with her present Free Constitution, ; as at once the most effectual way of securing to her citizens i the enjoyment of the rights and privileges to which they ! are entitled." If Congress has sovereign power over the Territories, it Is an exclusive power and cannot be exercised by anyuther body of men. It Is equally evident that n man, nor any body of men, in the Territories, have any , privi leges there except such as may have been conferred upon them by the sovereign power, which, according to their third resolution, Is resident In Congress. The Anti-Slavery men of Kansan have formed A note Constitution, have elected a Governor, Legislature. Judicial officers, ac.., each act unquestionably Involving the exercise of sovereign power. It cannot be shown that Congress Las conferred upon them any authority to perform those special acts of sovereignty:—hence the clear and logical inference is, that they have exercised a power which did not belong to them. If such be the case their acts are invalid. Ac cordingly, were Congress immediately to admit Kansas 'us a State of the Union, with her present /We Cbastaution," the act of admission would admit of no other construction than that Congress approved and tamely submitted to an as eumption and exercise of sovereign power by the people of Kansas. The claim that the sovereign power over the Territories is resident in Congress, and the claim that Kansas under the present statu quo "should be admitted immediately with her present Free Constitution," as a matter of legal or constitutional right, are irreconcilable with any ap• proved political principle. According to my view the one is antithenol to the other—that they, in fact, constitute a gross iriststency in principle. I wholly agree with those who maintain that the Conti• tution does not "confer upon Congress sovereign power over the Territories of the United Slates for their govern ment," and, I believe it to be true, that not a shadow of such power can be found in it. Nor do the Anti-Slavery men of Kansas, judging from their proceedings, subscribe to the doctrine of the Black Republican resolution; for they have assumed that within themselves resides the sovereign power of Kansas, and they have strained every nerve to obtain an acknowledgement which shall legitimize the assumption. Very respectfully, July 7, 1868. "Village Bullyism" Reviewed Musks.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor! of the Intelllgencer, dated %VestmraTox, July 11th, 1818. On Wednesday last, we had a long, interesting, and somewhat of a pointed debate in the Senate. The debate sprung up upon the motion to print 20,001.1 extra copies of the report of the Committee. on Territories. The Kansas difficulty, you may rest assured, was gone over again in all Its usual round et assertion, that blood and murder, had been followed by blood and murder, as retal iatory measures on the part of the friends of law and order, as much and more so, than by those, as Mr. Wilson remarked, of the 'free coil party.' This whole Kansan matter of difficulty has been encouraged by men in public stations In Congress and out of Congress. Why gentlemen In the Senate should have all their energies bent to tlmt purpose to create and build up a sectional controversy, Is past my comprehension. To hear some of the speeches of the disunionists, the free-soil sectionalists, the simon-pure dark-republican leaders, oue would suppose, from their speeches, that there are no states or territories in the U. Steles to be cared for, but n few disorganizers and violators of law, that reside in Kansas. It is really shameful - to see and hear the course of gentlemen in the Senate and House, fu their expression of contempt for the citizens of the South, who are living, like themselves, under the same Constitu tional protection, that guard their own firesides, merely be canoe their forefathers left them the protection and man agement of their slave property, which, In former days, had been stolen from Africa by many of the progenitors of New England, and sold Into slavery for the sake of the profits that it gave them in this trafic, without any of those qualms of conscience that now disturb the mock-philan. tropists of the present day. Then, it was a legitimate trade and a profitable one at that,—and es the Southern people have done so well with the blacks, in their timelier. atlon from barbarism to civilization and chrlstianity, we should hope that the bettor sense of the present race of mankind would let the question rest, until Providence In His own good time should see fit to change their present destiny. If slavery is a benefit, let the Southern citizen enjoy that benefit entailed upon him by his fathers. Han evil, then they are able to bear that evil with becoming duty to the care of the negro and of his and their own pro" tection. This eternal clatter, in matters In which free. states men are in no way interested, prove conclusively that the hidden mystery of a dismemberment of the Union of the States, is cherished by all those who advocate the sectional der/..republican platform. Indeed, Messrs. Edit ors, things look very much as if the nomination of Col . Fremont and Mr. Dayton were consummated for that partic ular object and design, and, If such shall be the fact, end they succeed in their designs, this lair fabric of govern ment, achieved by our fathers—by the sacrifice of so much blood and treasure, will be rent in twain, and man, unruly man, again at sea without a compass or a guide. But, we still hope the people of the free States will ills' regard the false teachings of their present representatives. Certainly, the people, the home industry business people of the North, do not desire a diseoluilon of the Union You will sec a long report of the debate on Wednesday In the papers of yesterday,—and you will there find, that Gov. Bigler gave Mr. Wilson some severe thrusts for his in sidious remarks in reference to the past life of Mr. Buchan an. In Justice to Mr. Buchanan, and his able defence by Gov. Bigler, we should be pleased to see the debate pub lished in the columns of your Journal, so as to show your people that their distinguished citizen, and our cherished file-leader for the Presidency, has an able and eloquent de fender In the person of Gov Bigler. The dobate was con tinued until after fl p. m., before an adjournment took place. OLD GUARD The Sumner farce hue ended, so far as the Criminal Court of this district Is concerned, and Mr. Brooks has has paid his fine of $3OO imposed upon him by Judge Crawford for dressing Mr. Sumner for his licentious and disreputable language of insult. Mr. Sumner did not attend the trial— he was too unwell for that,—but went on a trip to the north to escape the consequences of an examination before the Court. Seine of Mr. Sumner's friends contend, that his brain is effected, and has become soft. We never heard of the brain of man being hard—but, be his brain hard or soft, be was not so soft as to be caught before the Court for an examination by the eloquent counsel employed by the defence. Me. Sumner may continue to absent himself from the Senate for some time, but the pure waters of Lathe can never wash out the disgrace that now attaches to his name. The patriotic rebuke of Gen. Cass will follow Mr. Sumner to the last round of life, and he can never escape the just condemnation of the Sage of Michigan, go where he may. The Senate yesterday passed the Indian appropriation bill and spent the remainder of the day on the Navy bill and amendment.. This Navy subject will come up again on Monday next for final action. The House has the Kansas Committee Report before them, as made by Messrs. Howard and Sherman, under Instructions so to report. Mr. Oliver, I am told, will makes minority report to-day, but as I close this letter at IP. M., that report will be noticed hereafter. I have understood, however, that Mr. Oliver dissents entirely from the action and views of Messrs. Howard and Sherman. The House have also the Reports of Mr. Campbell and Mr. Cobb on the Brooks and Sumner affair before them.— A long debate is contemplated ou this Important question of expulsion of Mr. Brooks. The report of Mr. Campbell is unjustifiable, even if Mr. Brooks had not been tried and tined by the Court, yet, for partizan effect, and to aid In the sectional division of the Union of the States Mr. Camp bell lends himself to this dark and damning sacrilege and scheme to diwsever the Union. Even Mr. COIIIIIIS, of Mass., on yesterday, proposed to mark out the Constitution of the Union, by marked black lines around It. Those black lines are emblematic of the principles of the traitors to the confederacy, and unless the people rail their represent. tires to their senses, they will repent of their licentious source when too late to remedy the evil. Mr. Cobb and Mr. Orr have made strong and powerful arguments against the report of Mr. Campbell, and in favor of the minority re. port. We hope these eloquent appeals will have its effect upon the minds of the friends of the Union in the House. Mr. Hickman, of your State, this week, has repudiated the dark-republican association, with which he has been identified in Congress at the organizing and for some months thereafter, he acted in a manner, with those sec tional ilisnnionists. We are truly gratified that Mr. Risk man has come back to his first love of correct principles, and again allies himself as a member of the democrattcpar ty of the good old Keystone State. We should be gratified to see Mr. Hickman's example followed by several others in the House, whose principles heretofore have been of the right stripe, but some how or other their principles have become most confoundedly colored by improper associa tions for the last two or three years. But we shall never despair of good men, and thus we hope to have all friends of the Union voting the Demceratle ticket at the coming November election.

My hair was becoming, as I thought, prematurely gray, but by the use of his Restora tive it has resumed its original color, and I have no doubt, permanently so. SIDNEY BREESE, Es-Soustor United States. The Greatest Discovery of the Age.—lt seldom occurs, that we notice, under any circumstances, patent medicines, restorativet, or anything of the kind, for we have a preju- dice against m-st of them. But candor compels us to in vite attention to the advertisement of Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative. We are too Juvenile to require anything of the kind, but some instances of its use have come to our knowledge which almost assure us that it is a sovereign remedy against the hair becoming prematurely gray. It is not a " Hair Dye;" but upon its application as directed, the effect is produced on the skin, which brings out the origin nal native colored hair,Without stiffness, and gives it a glos syand natural appearance. We have seen persona who have used it, and they are much pleased with it.—Missouri Re publican. =I! 0. J. WOOO & CO., 316 Broadway, New York, and 114 Market St. Louis, Mo., Proprietors. y. W.

JOHN IJYGER & CO. CONSISTING OF JOHN GYGER, DAVID BAIR, BENJ. ESHLEMAN, HENRY MUSSELMAN, July 15 3m 26 COAL.—it is not more than twenty-five years since Coal began to be a recognized article of production and commerce. This year the .production of our anthracite mines alone will amount to more than six millions of tons. This may be regarded as an amount of solid wealth dug annually at the present time from the bowels of our State. We do not here undertake to show the additidnal advan tage; it gives, in the encouragement of Industry, and the employment of hundreds of tnousands of parsons in manu factures and commerce. We only wish to impress up.o❑ the minds of our readers that twenty millions a year is a low estimate of the sum now paid to Pennsylvania fur the Coal dug from beneath her surfa&t. In a few years hence, when railroads, canals, mining, manufactories, and popu lation shall have vastly multiplied, our annual product of Anthracite Coal alone frill probably reachei‘hteen millions of tons, and be worth at the mines thirty-six millions of dollars, whilst Bituminous coal will amount to as much more. It Is the latter which has chiefly given the Western part of our State its wealth, as the former has the Eastern. Since the rapid growth of the great Lake country and the increase of population of out Western cities, the market afforded for the consumption of the bituminous is enor mous. It is used in every variety of manufactures—it is this of which our gas is made. its 11603 are increasing so fast that the supply has never equalled the demand. It may be set down as a general fact, that the trade doubles every six years. The Sunbury and Erie Railroad, and the Allegheny Valley Railroad are about to open some of the richest fields of this coal; more advantageously located than any other. The Elk county basin has for some time attracted a large share of the public attention. It presents the advantage of being inexhaustible in its coal resources. whilst its location has an unequalled superiority. A con centratiou'of five railroads will shortly take place, commu nicating to the Lakes, New York, Philadelphia, sad the Northern cities of the West, by a much nearer route than Pittsburg. and giving it the advantage of the markets.— Philadelphia Inquirer. july 8 3t 25 TALITAPLE REAL ESTATE FOR V SALE.—The Subscriber, residing Iu Cambria county, offers the following Farms and Unimproved Wood and Coal Lands, situated in said county. contiguous to the Pennsylvania and Portage Railroads, for sale upon such terms as may be agreed upon with persons desiring to pur chase. NO. 1. THE FARM CONSIbTIN9 OF' 117 ACRES, uN which he resides, situate within a mile of the village of Jefferson, and through which both of the above named rail roads pats. There are four dwelling houses on the premises, with out-buildings, two apple orchards, and well watered with never failing springs. A bituminlous coal-bed underlies nearly the whole farm—there is alto an abundance of limestone and Iron ore upon the promises, and about thirty acres of wood land. The soil is as productive as any in the county, as the crops now growing will fully demonstrate. I will sell this place with or without the growing crops to suit pur chasers. NO. 2. A TRACT OF 160 ACRES, lying about a mile end a half east of Jefferson, also traversed by the above rail roads. Only about three acres of this is cleared, the balance being heavily timbered, and the whole being underlaid with the same beds of coal, limestone and iron ore men tioned above. There are three dwelling houses and a stable on the tract. NO. 3. A TRACT OF 441 ACRES, with a dwelling house, saw-mill and 30 acres cleared, and under cultivation, situate within a fourth of a !nibs of the Pennsylvania railroad near the Portage station. The timber upon the tract Is heavy and valuable, and the same beds of coal, limestone and iron ore above mentioned are also upon it. 4. A TRACT OF 560 ACRES of unimproved heavily timbered land, situate one and a half miles south of the Portage station on the Pennsylvania railroad. This also abounds in coal, limestone and iron ore. The main branch of the Conemaugh river passes through all the tracts named, affording water power to any necessary extent. The minerals are of the same excellent quality as those used by the Cambria Iron Company at Johnstown. The soil is unsurpassed by any land in the county. Per. tags station is 23 miles west of Hollidaysburg, so that the coal upon these tracts is about as convenient to the sea board as any other rich bituminous coat in the State.— There is no healthier spot lu the United States than Cam bria county. The attention of farmer.% manufacturers. coal dealers and lumbermen, wishing for eligible business situations, is invited to the character of these premises.— I will sell in large or small portions, and on favorable terms My poet office is •' Wilmore, Cambria county, Pennsylva nia."
