Hon. Howell Cobb
The statement which has appeared in many
of the newspapers, assigning the authorship
of a book entitled "Scriptural Examination of
the Institution of Slavery," to the Hon. How-
ELL COBB, of Georgia, is entirely unfounded.
Mr. Cone declares that he is not the author,
and that he has never seen the book.
Sunbury and Erie Railroad
It is said that a "project has been started
by some extensive contractors to induce the
State to subscribe" 55,000,000, towards the
completion of the Sunbury and Erie Railroad."
Much as we desire to see this important road
completed, we protest against the Common
wealth increasing the public debt five millions,
or even one million, to accomplish it. We
have load enough to carry now,and cannot bear
any additional weight.
Mileage, ete
Mr. Kelsey, member of Congress from New
York, is preparing a bill to equalize the mile
age of Congressmen. The st*is now paid
range from seventeen to fire thousand nine hun
dred and sixty dollars per session. The bill
propoibs to continue the present rate up to
two Mindred and fifty or five hundred dollars,
and after that to reduce it. to ten cents per
mile. It also proposes to deduct from the
pay of members twenty-five or thirty dollars
per day, each for voluntary absence from
either house.
We cotton} entirely wit) the honorable
member in regard to the proposed deduction
in cases of voluntary absenne; but the mile-
age reform is not carried far enough. Under
the law of last year, each member receives
three thousand dollars pay per session, which,
with a sum for mileage equal to his actual
necessary traveling expenses, would very
'liberally compensate most of the members for'.
all the services they render.
11. S. Senator
In our list of candidates for the U. S. Sen
ate published last week, we unintentionally
neglected to mention Hon. SAMUEL HEPBURN,
of Cumberland, whose name will also be before
the Legislature in connexion with that high
office. The Judge is a "good man and true," 1
of fine talents and business qualifications, and
would do credit to himself and his constitu
ante in the Senate or Nay other legislative
- ody.

Euziiburg, on Tuesday next.

leaks out in the course of the investigations
that the 'confidential, personal and business
friends of the dashing forger knew of his

KENTUCKY.—In noticing 'the proceedings
of the electoral college of Kentucky, the Cin
cinnati Enquirer remarks :
" The twelve electoral votes were cast for
Buchanan and Breckinridge. This is the first
time Kentucky has voted for a democratic
President since 1828, when she voted for Gen.
Jackson. During the whole of the long in
terval which has elapsed, it has been anti
democratic on the popular vote by a large
majority. It is a subject of more than ordin
ary congratulation, that this noble daughter
of Virginia, the eldest of the new States ad
mitted into the confederacy, which made such
a gallant resistance to the old federal legisla
tion of 1795, the home of Clay and Breckin
ridge, has again returned to the democratic
faith. It is but justice to say that the nomin
ation of the gallant and accomplished Breck
inridgelhadanuch to do in effecting the revolu
tion."
CIIRISTEAS ON Tuunsmkr.—A correspondent
of the New Jersey Dollar ...Vewspaper, refer
ring to the fact that Christmas this year fell
on Thursday, transcribes the following pro
phecy from an old poem found in the British
Museum :
"If Christmas day on Thursday be.
A windy winter you shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
And bard tempests strong and thick
The summer shall be goad and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply ;
That year is good for lands to till,
Kings and princes shall die by skill :
If a child born that day shall be,
It shah happen right well for thee;
Of deeds h ) ethall be good and stable,
Wise of speech and reasonable.
Whoso that day goes thieving about,
lie shall lee punished without doubt .
And if sicknes4 that day betide,
It shall quickly from thee glide."
THE MICHIGAN COPPER MINES.—It is stated
in one of. the Boston papers that,• within the
past ten years, the number of companies
formed for working copper mines in Michigan
has been about one hundred. The amount of
money invested, calculating the shares at the
low average of $5 each, has been about $lO,-
000,000! This sum has been obtained prin
cipally front New . England, Net" York and
Pennsylvania. Not one third of the compa
nies have paid dividends. About one-half the
number have collapsed, having started upon
an insufficient basis, ur requiring too much
capital for preliminaryoperations. There are,
undostbtedly, profitable mines of copper in
Michigan, but copperstock, both in that State
and elsewhere, has been proverbially an un
certain investment.
JACull LITTLE', FAILURE.-A currespondeint
of the Charleston Courier, thus explains the
late failure of Mr. Little, of New York :
"The true cause of the failure of Jacob
Little has not yet been publicly stated. He
was a strong Fremont man, and really thought
he would be elected. knowing that if such
an event had occurred, there would have been
excitement throughout the country, that busi
ness would receive a fearful shock, and ca
lamities portend, he calculated that about this
time, amid the universal apprehensions of all
conservative commercial men, negociations
would be suspended, real estate decline, and
securities of every desCription • tumble down
and he would reap th , , profits of the public
disaster."
FINE IMPROVEMENTS.--Anbmg the many
iinproveinements which have been made, in this city ,
none are more worthy of notice than those of our friends

THE SLAVE TRADE.—We have been think
ing over the question of the proposed revival
of the slave trade in this country, and have
come to the conclusion that if ever it should
come.to pass, it will be done by Massachusetts
rather than South Carolina. A modified slave
trade is already carried on from Boston, as
well as from New York. but not at all from
Charleston, or any other Southern Port. We
allude to the traffic in Chinese coolies, who
being comparatively white, their enslavement
under various forms of imposition, is all right,
as estimated by Northern cupidity. So far as
the African slave trade is carried on from
Northern ports, it is done by foreigners, who
skulk from public observation ; but the coolie
slave trade is conducted openly and largely by
Yankees.—N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
