J by-The following is a copy of au article recently published in the .Pennsylvania In quirer, of Philadelphia. The premises laid down seem strongly substantiated. Since the publication of this article the Board of Di rectors of the 'Ridgway Farm and Coal Com pany" have decided to raise the price of their Farms or Shares from Two Hundred Dollars to Three Hundred Dollars after the Ist ofJune. The Resources of Pennsylvania---A Glance at Elk County. At present, this county appears to be the scene of active improvement. Great interest has been manifested in this directiOn within the-past year, especially since the Sunbury . and Erie Railroad between this county and the lakes has been placed under contract.— from present appearances, if the reasons upon which the public conclusions are founded are tr ue,a we have necause to doubt them, it is soon destined to be one of the wealthiest and most important in the State. An immense amount nf - capitaritmaiw - being-invested-in-this-vicini ty from our own. city, and that of Now York. Coal companies are being.staxted to commence operations immediately upon the completion of the western end of the railroad to Erie, which is now under contract, and a large force at work. The following . are some of the rea sons advanced upon the subject: The western end of the gunbury and Erie Railroad_connecting_ . Elk initnedintel with the great market of the Lakes, is now under con tract, and a large force at work grading the road with all rapidity. Sufficient money has been raised to complete this end. The Tyrone and Clearfield will also connect with the Sun bury. and Erie at St. Mary's ; besides these, the Allegheny Valley will pass through in the course of a few years; and connect with the New York and Erie Railroad at Olean,. Ridg way will also be the terminus of the Venango, connecting with 'the West. It is necessary to be fully aware of the terminus, of these roads. as well as their route, to understand the value of the location. Before entering upon the Ideation, we will consider the mineral and agricultural wealth of the county, which gives the land its value. The principal part of that county is under laid by three veins of bituminous coal, The first, on an average, 3/ feet thick • the second, 4i ; and the third, from 5 to 8 feet.— Above the coal lays a strata of the best lime stone, and between each vein is a vein of the richest iron ore. Until within the past year or so, the land not being sufficiently explored, these important facts were unknown. The 'soil is a fine agricultural soil, and said' to be 'neither hilly nor stony, with the exception of the portion known as the barrens, upon which no value is placed, and which are generally in the hands of reckless real estate agents, who have done much to injure Western Pennsyl vania by descrying all other lands and impos ing their's upon their victims. There is a fine agricultural settlement, and the crops pro duced are large and generally-sure. Possessing these . abvantages, the develop ment depends, as before observed; upon the railroads, but more especially upon the com pletion of the Western end of the Sunbury and Erie,. which it is believed, from sufficient reasons, will he done within two years. It will then possess the entire control of the Lake market. We will give a short extract, in considering this subject, from the Poltsville Gazette : "The great bituminous formation of the Al legheny, in running eastward, gradually as cends, until the measures finally . run out in Potter county, where no coal exists. Thus Elk is 'about the most easternmost county, - if not the last one, in which beds of workable coal are found;and in view of this fact, the coal trade will necessarily constitute one of the most profitable features of the Sunbury and Erie. as well as that of .the northern and of the Allegheny Valley . Road. The distance from St. Mary's to Erie is about one hundred miles, and the coal could be afforded in the city of Erie at a cost varying little from two-dol lars per ton. The veins are extremely regu lar, and the coal can be uniformly mined in drifts, at an aggregate of some forty cents per ton and carried one hundred miles b rail- ounce of his brass road, over descending grades, and wit i out t e usual allowance of gve per cent. for deprecia tion, for one dollar per ton; thus leaving to tha operator a profit of sixty cents per ton, exclusive oflandlord's royalty, whichbe es ima ei a wen - ye cents per ton. Now lar - A river Yankee, away up North, among the Pine trees, was employed by the owner of a Raft of Lumber to pilot it safe down the river for him. The pilot, however, thro' unskillfulness or carelessness, ran it against one of the piers of the Bridge at this place, staving it upon the ice breaker. The owner of the lumber took him to task for his bad management, when he replied, "there's fifty two of them 'ar Piers, and I missed 'em all but one—r call that midlin' good running, don't you ?" Tfrrightsrille Star. Petrification.—Nine years ago a mAn__.'ed of dropsy and was buried in Middle.OEKlTt., and it being desirable to remove the corpse to Pomfret recently, the body was disinterred, and found to have become perfect stone ; as hard as marble, and not in the least altered from the a .earance of the man at his death, • e corpse weighed five hundred and fifty pounds. What Is more remarkable the brxly .- of a girl - fiTiried by his side was wholly con sumed, only a few of the principal bones re maining. the Elk coal can be delivered on the wharves at Erie one dollar per ton cheaper than any similar coal that now goes there, or to any other point on the Lake shore. Ihus, it will be perceived, a stupendous coal business is certain to accrue to the Sunbury and Eric Road`the moment its Lake ends shall have been_corripleted;_antLone of the inevitable_ef, fects of such trade will be to give extraordinary value to-the lands." These conclusions are no doubt founded up on solid grounds. The prospects are much greater than when coal was first introduced a I ottsville. Then the market was small account of its being so little,used. Here tho is,a market of nearly two millions, and it oil I wants the completion-ofthat-end-of_the_ro to spring at once into existence. Elk, als , has the advantage of being superior &vim - I tural land to support a mining population. The coal being at hand, will, also, induce the manufacture of iron, as bituminous coal is su perior to wood, and as observed, it is the near est land to the Lakes, possessing the advan tages of both. Property which a few years ago was selling at several dollars an acre', has now gone up enormously. The Elk and McKean Improve ment Company are going into extensive ope rations. They own 220,000 acres, and the Company is composed of John C. Cresson, Esq., Hon. Henry M. Watts, Esq., John K. Kane, Esq., Samuel Mason, Esq., Mordecai L. Dawson, Esq., Frederick Fraley, Esq., John Livezey, Esq., William Biddle, Esq.— They are selling their lands at fifty dollars an acre, each share representing one acre. The Ridgway COmpany, which, has a tract of near ), II . i an acre, but they intend to raise the price on the first of June. The officers of this Com pany are Charles K. Landis, R. Griffith Por ter, Franklin Butler, James Peters, Samuel Cattell and others. A large Company is also about being formed in this county for the manufacture of oil. VERITAS. gral-We clip the following Paragraph from a speech made by JAMES RAYMOND, Esq., of Westminster, formerly a whig, in the recent Democratic Convention of Maryland, and com mend it to the reader's attention : Mr. President :—lf, in a few remarks which I propose to offer, I allude for'a moment to my own political position, I beg the Convention to believe that-111 entire importanee , which I' at tadr'te" it;'consists in the tact that there are "a few more ,1,4' the same sort." I belonged to the Whigschool of politics until -it was appar- - ent to everybody, that the honored institution was to be broken up, and that its members, in their dispersion,, must, of necessity, be gov erned by their individual proclivities in their futute,associations. The Know Nothing del-, ,uge wits then in its fullest tide of successful experiment, and threatened to engulph not only the Whig party but the -whole world. But be the consequences as they might, I found it impossible for me to become assimila ted.to that nocturnal fraternity, by going to a Lodge and being drawn- through the hole of . mu ion. was in daily intercourse with a few other Whigs and many Democrats, who thought and felt as I did, that a most unpre cedented, unscrupulous effort was being made to introduce midnight oathbound secrecy, as a standing element in the organization et-polit ical parties in this country. We believe 4 al- so, that success in this attempt, would be at tended with the most serious consequences. -That--it-would end in the conversion -of our free government into the most odious of all desputisnis, a secret despotism. Such a belief was well calculated to make Whigs and Dew. ocrats forget those threadbare, by-gone dis tinctions, and to organize in such.a shape as would best enable us to co-operate in putting down so great an evil. A meeting was called for that purpose. The Court House .was fill ed to overflowing. But like the Grecian horse, three-fourths of its contents were the enemies of Troy. The secret politicions had the pc). teness to _break up our meeting. But the very outrage was the commencement of re-ac tion in Carroll county, which has never ceas ed, and I trust in Gud, will not cease, until Know Nothingism is driven from her borders. That very outrage enabled the honest yeoman ry of the land to see with their own eyes, and to hear with their own ears, what Know Nutliiagism was, and of what it was capable. Upon the conservative, the Constitution lov ing, law and order portion of the counimunit,y, it wawa welding heat. To the Democrats, who evill lurrenderall for the sake of Union against that unholy faction ; the Whigs who were co operating with them, replied :—"So far as the name is concerned, you will surrender Roth; lug. Our nest meeting shall be under the hickory tree, and see,if the Know Nothings will come and demolish that." It was under the hickory tree and khould have been there at first. For, Mr. President, what is the use of a third party, to oppose the combined forces of Black Re publicans and Know Nothings against the Democracy at the present time? I leave it to the old line Whigs to_answer the - question, and to act accordingly.—They are intelligent and farseeing.—lf, in their inmost soul, they prefer Democracy to Black Repub licanism, they will be with us. loarThe Emperor Alexander 11, will be crowned- Czar-'of-Russia,-- at-MoscOw,-on-the 31st of August, being the fete of his patron saint.

Irr HOLLOWAY'S OINTIMT AND PILLA, certain Remedies for Red Legs and Old Wounds.—Alfred Ooelet, aged 27, was for nine years afflicted with an awfully bad leg. there were several wounds in it, which defied all the doctors' skill and ingenuity to heal. He tried a variety of remedies, but was not benefited by the same. At last he was persuad ed to have recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills. these remedies quickly effected a very favorable change, and by continuing them unreulttingly for three months, bis . leg was completely cured, and his general health thor oughly established.
