A Small Mistake.
..,.By.sonie unaccountable mistake, a paragraph in re
lation to the election of THOMAS 11. BENTON, Jr. as
!uperintandant of Public rnstruction in lowa, was
connected, with, and inserted in an article on the sub
je., •,
ct of the "Election in Wisconsin," in our paper
:,Ofjesterdiy.
The Democratic Gene al Convention.
This body will convene on Monday next, in the
oity.ofßaltimore. Great are the results to be anti-
Oikted from it; and intense is the anxiety of our
neighbors of the Federal party, to know what will
:Pe'itt . ffecision 6 relation to the presidency. Many
of them are foolish enough to believe, that there is
argrent diversity of sentiment among the members,
salt respects the man most likely to concentrate the
votes.of the'Deinocratic party gess e enally ; and that,
owing-to this diversity, much discordance will mark
thilireceedings of the convention, and disaffection
becortko engendered towards the nominee. This,
hOwester, they. need not anticipate. The members
o ,the Convention, reflecting the feelings of the
.F7Onple of the States they represent, must be pre-
Mined; of course, to have individual preferences
slininig the distinguished men whose names have
Aseen'hrought before' the People, in relation to the
effien.ofPresident but, beyond this, there is no
lee,m,. ; for-a : snoment, to suppose there will be any
-,Twoor - three names will be presented to the Con
vention; backed by the recommendation of many
etnitorad votes ; and upon one of these must the
sentiment of the whole- body become concentrated ;
o r rin the event of a serious disagreement, some
Itefis man, in whom the Convention has confidence,
aind'!ipon Whom the whole party can unite, must be,
'choSen. We anticipate no such result as this; but

For the .111ornitig Pam.
MR. F.emott:—Your paper has recently contain
ed two communications hostile to a county subscrip
tion to the Pennsylvania railroad.- The laws quoted
in the first one, {especially as laid down in the opin
ion of John M. Read, Esq.,) can h ave no po ssi bl e
application to the present act of the county of Alle
gheny. In fiict, a few old Hunkers in Philadelphia,
led on by Horace Binney, and the other large pro
perty holders in that city, undertook to defeat the
wish of the mass of the citizens, in regard to this
railroad. The opinions of Binney and Bead, were a
part of that attempt; arguing that the city of Phila
delphia, not being expressly authorised, could not
subscribe. But, by the recent act, Allegheny coun
ty is expressly authorised to subscribe. Even, how
ever, under the old act, Lawyers and Judges, more
numerous and equally celebrated, asserted the
right of the city councils of Philadelphia to sub
scribe, which was done; and public sentimenthas so
fully sustained them, that, now, you- can scarcely
find an intelligent man, to doubt either the legality
or expediency of such subscriptions.
In filet, Philadelphia, like Pittsburgh, is cursed
with a few men, without entet prise in whose hands
a large amount of real estate has become ' vested.--
This class of men are always anxious, that every
thing shall be done by individual ineani; well know
ing that, thus, the whole burden will fall on the ac
tive business interests of the city. This was fully
understood in Philadelphia; and the contest was by
the small property holders, the mechanics, and
business community, to impose at least one half the
necessary subscription upon these owners of im
mense-real estates. This force, as always must be,
where the mass is intelligent, were beaten by the
many.
however, the papers are to be believed, the
contest is different here; for, as one of the writers
alleges, this project is, to tax the poor for the benefit
of the rich.
I have no doubt these communications were writ
ten by some nabob; but lie conceals his zeal under
professed love for the poor!
In fact, the most violent opponent of this measure
I know of, is always abusing the school laws, where
he says 'men not worth a dollar, and who pay no tax.,
vote to raise the school tax every year upon him
$3OO or $400. , This man is now exceedingly vio
lent in his denunciations of this measure, and very
anxious to protect the poor; though if he will frank
ly tell you, his own reasons of hostility are, that the
poor man has an equal vote with himself in regard
to the imposition of this tax; if it shall ever become
a tax.
These men are now great advocates for individual
subtiriptions. But did they, when the Books were
open for the Connellsville road, subscribe/ or would
they, when these Books might be opened/ I arn
not a prophet; but lam willing to take the the Con
nellsville Books already opened, or if you please
open them, and I can select some twenty five large
real estates, worth, in the aggregate, probably three
millions of dollars, and you will find that the repre
sentations of at least two millions have not, and will
not subscribe one cent. The other million may
perhaps pay one per cent on the value of this pro
serty. Thus you may get $lO,OOO from the rere
entatives of three millions of real estate. If th p ere
is any danger of this stock being a-burden, shall the
whole of it be thrown upon the active capital; and
shall diese owners of real estate, whose property
will be doubled in value by the construction of rail
roads, pay nothing/ For one, lam willing,in either
Conn, to pay my share to the construction of these
rail roads; but I am not willing, to pay three times
my share, and permit those who will be benefited
100 or 500 times as much as I am, to pay nothing.—
Unless the young and the active men of the city
shall see this matter in its proper light, no road will
be made . o this city; and we shall be left off the
route of trade and travel entirely.
I, however, do not believe that this subscription
will cost the county any thing. I am convinced,
that, so soon as the road is finished, it will pr.y from
S to 10 per cent. on the investment; and, until fin
ished, the company will pay the interest on the in
stallments, and charge the same to the cost or con
struction. I have, however, assumed, that the ob
jections urged by these writers are correct; and, in
that view, I nek every young, industrious mechanic,_
,and active business man in this county, to say Iflie
is not willing to pay ten or twenty cents per annum
additional, to secure a railroad, and also to oblige
these old aristocrats, who own whole squares of
houses and lots, to contribute their proportion, to
promote our common benefit. I say a county sub
scription is the most equitable mode of assessing the
burthens (if you please) and benefits of this measure,
on all the citizens of this county.
1. New Legal Decision.
In New Orleans, lately, as we me informed by the
Delta, a case of some importance was decided by
one of the justices of that city. The merits of the
case were involved in the question When does a
sum become a YOUNG LADY t And the decision was
given upon the merits of the case, after a patient
bearing of all the testimony. The most important
witness --whose statements appear to have had the
greatest weight in the mind of the court,—was a
young gentleman, who declared that the girl before
the court, took,with him, 'sundry moon-light strolls?
—that"she frequently quoted from Moore's Melo
dies, Child° Harold," Bic., "and, song very sweetly,
too, Oft in the stilly night, Come rest in this Bosom,
and I dreampt that I dwelt in Marble Halls." The
witness testified, moreover, that, at table, he "ob
served that a nice dish of boiled cabbage, and an
other of onions, was placed opposite tolfer every
day; and (said he) I never could persuade he to
touch either of them." It Was hie decided convic
tion, that these facts proved the defendant in this
case to be "an indubitable, unquestionable, indis
putable, downright yoUng lady." After such an ar
ray of facts, the judge at once decided in favor of
the plaintiff, who had taken the position that said
young lady was not a child!—We consider this a
most just _ and righteous decision!

The County Subterlption.
The following eqmmunication has been on hand
for several dnys, but we have been unable to find a
place for itin our Aolumns until the present moment.
It will-be 'icon th a t the Writer takes strong grounds
in . fhvor of the county ,subscription to tlie Central
Railroad, and replies to two communications on
that subject which appeared heretofurein this paper.
'We cannot give place to this communication with
out taking occasion to say that we totally differ from
the writer's views. We have always been opposed
to the principle of taxing the people, (or pledging
their credit if you please,) for any purpose whatever
unless it is done at their own special instance and
for their own particular benefit. We claim that
we arc as sincere a friend of the Central Railroad
as any citizen of Pittsburgh possibly can be ; but at
the same time we think it is wrong to resort to a
county subscription. We have plenty of capital in
and about Pittsburgh to build our share of the Read
without resorting to extreme measures; but unfor
tunately ror our city, those who are the most able
to subscribe are the least disposed to do so. We
have too long looked to these men to move first in
every great work of internal improvement. Our
true policy is to act without reference to the selfish
"Old Hunker! ”—they have never done anything
for Pittsburgh and never will. Let our enterprising
business men—men of moderate capital—the gener
ous, high-minded, whole-souled, industrious and en
terprising merchants, manufacturers and artisans of
Pittsburgh, go to work shoulder to shoulder, and
heart to heart, and our word for it plenty of money
will be raised in a very short time, without the aid
of the <, Old Rockers," or without the necessity of
resorting to the shameful scheme of taxing the
farmers of Allegheny county,for the epecial benefit I

Interesting iborrespondence!
We extract the following from a.letter to the edi
tors of the Journal of Commerce, signed "W."
The writer is unquestionably a man of deep' and
most rued! feelings:
" Sorrowful intelligence is the burden of a letter
lying on my table which I found in Albany to-day on
my arrival. Ad_eye that I loved to look into, I shall
never fathom with affection's gaze again. A voice
that has whispered many a word of love in , my ear,
is hushed to voiceless slumber, and the red lip is
passed from my caressing. Arms that have enfolded
me in their pure embrace, are meekly folded across
the unheaving breast, and dukt bath gone to dust. I
am growing old faster than by the simple passage of
years.
" I shall bring this letter to you in person, and
then pass on Eastward. 1 'in told that cod and had
dock are plentiful otr Stonington, and it so, you may
happen to hear from inn there."
Poor fellow! 'what a world oralrection and of
' love he has lost! How deeply has the blow pierced
him—even to his inmost soul ! And yet bow calm
ly, and quietly, and philosophically, can he, even
in an instant, turn from the contemplation of the
loss of so much loveliness—fiom the remembrance
of so many gentle and pure embraces : to anticipate
the abundance of ", cod and haddock that nre
off Stonington The editors of the Journal of
Commerce had better make an arrangement with this
rare avis, by which he shall be carried through the
country for public exhibition
Suisun Dutque.
We favor the doctrine contained in this brief sen
tence. Our friends of the "American Democrat,"
at Carlisle wsh to know who are thorn who do oth
erwise. We prefer to observe silence, for the pres
ent. We may speak out, if an occasion should of
fer, that we shall deem a proper one. This we must
say, however,—that they are not among the number,
so far as we know. Voila tout.

Manufacture of Needles.
Needles go through a number of operations before
they are complete. Seine commence with steel wire
hardened, others lima& it afterwards. The wire is
first reeled into a coil, Which is cut apart in two pla
ces with shears, and then drawn a second time, after
which it is cut into lengths just sufficient for two
needles in each piece. These pieces are then
straightened by rolling a bundle of them together
upon hard surface, being afterwards sharpened spell
a revolving grindstone. The pieces are now cut in
two at the middle, the blunt ends flattened with a
hammer, preparatory far the eye, which is after.
1 wards peereed by machinery. They are then polish•
ed by plunging them in a bath of 'melted metal, and
immediately after in cold water; then thrown into a
wabbler—a barrel rapidly revolving upon an axis,
not placed in the centre—with emory and a putty
made of the oxide of tin, by which they ire .burnish
ed. They are then taken out and separated by a
winnowing apparatus, and put up in papers for sale
—the quantity not being cnunted, but regulated by
weight. The eye was formerly pierced by children,
who been - me en expert, that with one blow of a punch
they would frequently pierce a hole, through which
they would thread a hair from the head and hand it
to their visitors. There aro three Ins nufacturies in .
this country.
General Taylor'• Consistency.
In his first efforts at letter-writing, General Tay
for held out the idea that he was a no -party man.
In later letters he says ho is a "Whig."
In his letter to Joseph R. Ingersoll, dated Aug.
3d, 1847, he says, " I would now prefer seeing him
(Henry Clay) in the office of President, than any in
dividual in the Union; certainly much more so, at
any time, than myself."
In, his letter—dated April 20, 1848—to the editor
of the Richmond Republican, he says, " I do not de
sign to withdraw my name if Mr. Clay be the nomi
nee of the Whig National Convention."
t first be said he did nut want the office. Now
Ile declares that he will not give way, but means to
run at any rate.
Our brother or the Hattford Times has, in this
short paragraph, given us a specimen of ground and
lofty tumbling, which has not been equalled since
MACFARLAND astonished the natives at the Circus.

Another Discovery.
The Rev. Mr. Pepper, a Presbyterian clergyman
of Albany, N. Y., has invented, says the Springfield
Republican, a compound of clay, called Argillo,
which resembles in structure and appearance, the
richest, variegated agates. It is to be used for door
knobs, pavements, table tops, and oilier ornamental
articles.
It surpasses in briliancy, any known variety of
marble, and is equally cheap. The Hartford Whig
speaks - of it in the following terms: "No one, who
*has not seen it, can form an idea of its beauty and
imitable variety of color. It is so hard as to re
sist any scratch, except that of crystal or diamond.
Already Mr. Calhoun has introduced in the Senate,
a resolution, which passed instantly, to the effect,
that all the floors of the public offices in the Capital
should be made of this beautiful material. $1,000,.
000 has been offered for the entire patent.”
"Everything for the Cause."
The editor of the Raleigh Standard, the leading
Democratic paper in North Carolina, who is a dele
gate to the National Convention, and an ardent friend
of JAMES BUCHANAN for President, says: So far as
we are concerned, we shall do our duty to the cause
and to those kind friends who have appointed us a
Delegate to Baltimore and, above all, however
much we may be devoted to JAMES BUCHANAN, or
how highly suever we may think of the claims of
other distinguished statesmen, we shall look out for
that course which, in our humble opinion, may be
best calculated to harmonize the party and to defeat
the Whigs. Men die, but principles are immortal.

From Gist's Cincinnati Advertiser.
BRIG. Gclrati JOSEPH. LANE.
Ifl were to select a fine specimen o fa backwoodc.
man, it should be Joseph Lane. Iwould take a for
eigner, if in my power, fifty miles:to visit Lane, as
an admiratile illustration.'of the , workings of our
political and social institutions.
I know nothing of his early history, and presume
it to be that of thoUsands in the west. I know him
only as a farmer and wood merchant, on the banks
of the (Thin, in which character I first made his ac
quaintance. lie came on board the - S. B. Andrew
Jackson, to receive pay for a lot of wood sold the
boat, and was introduced to me by 'Capt. Eckert.
lie wore a blanket coat, and his general appearance
was that of a backwoodsman, but I had not con
versed with him five minutes, I set him down as a
man of no ordinary cast. Later, and more intimate
acquaintance confirmed my judgement, and in his
late na Rarity career in Mexico, be has shone con
spicuous for gallantry and good conduct, even in
the galaxy of heroes which the war with Mexico
has brought to public notice. It may not be amiss
to state - how he obtained his military appointment,
taken, as he was, from the farm, to lead armies to
victory.
When it became the duty of the President to make
the appointment of Brigadier General, it was felt by
every weattrn member of Congress, to be a prize for
his constituent. Probably some fi:ty names had been
handed in to the President. ItrillEnT DALE OWEN . , in
whose district Lane resides, entertaining no such
local pride, would probably not have thrnished any
name, but for a suggestion to that effect, from one of
the Indiana Senaturs,.. , who do you intend recom
mending?" "Why,* l said Mr. Owen, rrl had cot
thought of offering a name. There are no applica
tions to me from my own district, but if you think it
due to it, to offer a name, I shall hand in that of Jo
Lane: , The Senator approved of the choice, and it
was accordingly suggested. The President, as
usual, said he would give.it his favorable considera
tio,
A few days afterwards, Mr. Owen was transacting
some private business at the White House. After it
was through__" By the bye, Mr. Owen," observed
the President, "I shall have to appoint your friend
Lane, to the Brigadier generalship. I hope you
have well considered your recommendation, for the
office is a very responsible ene." "I know nothing,"
replied Mr. Owen, "of Lane's military talents, but
there are about him those elements of character,
which in all times of difficulty prompts every one to
rally instinctively around him as a leader. This has
been the case in early days, when lawless men in
fested the river border. Whether on shore or a
mong boatmen on the river, Lane was the man re
lied on to keep such .men in order, and he was al
ways found equal to every emergency. I would se
lect him for the office, before any otherman I know,
If I had the appointment to make."
Lane was appointed. The sequA is history, and
justified the penetrative judgment of Mr. Owen.—
Lane has developed qualities which place him in the
tiont rank of military service. •
When the news of the battle of Buena Vista
reached Washington, Mr. Owen called on President
Polk. Well, sir, exclaimed he, what do you thinkrof
our boosiet general! Ali! said the President, %Atli
a quiet snide, Mr. Owen, you are safe out of that
scrape.'
Pittsburgh and Counclls's-111e Railroad.
At a meeting of the Directors of the Pittsburg
and Connellsville Railroad Company, held on the
I Gth of May, the following Resolutions were unar.-
iminisly adopted.
Resolved, That the Commissioners of Allegheny
County be requested to subscribe to the capital stuck
of the Pittsburgh and Connelsville Rail-road Corn
parry, the sun, of one million of dollars.
Resolved, That it the Comm isaioners are not fully
convinced of the policy and expediency of such sub
scription on the part of Allegheny County, they be
and arc hereby requested to submit the question of
such subscription to the consideration of the people
or their representatives in the County Conven lion
which is to assertible on the 31st or May inst.
Resolved, That as that convention is to be consult
ed on the subject of a subscription bythe county,
to the central Rail-road which work, will require the
expenditure of several millions of dollars more than
would be required to finish the Pittsburgh and Con
nellsrille Rail-road to Cumberland; it is due to the
interests of the County or Allegheny that the merits
and demerits of these two routes be fully and care
fully compared.
Respired, That if the Central Rail-road can be
carried across the mountains. at a reasonable expense
without inclined planes, it may be the true policy of
Allegheny county to- aid the Philadelphia Company
to construct their work, but if a county subscription
to that road be deemed expedient, a similar subscrip
tion to a Pittsburgh Rail-road, winch when finished
will yield larger.profits and promote in a greater de
gree the prosperity of Allegheny county and of
Western Pennsylvanio,cannot be reasonably refused.
Resolved, That if the County of Allegheny will
make a liberal subscription to the capital stock of
the Pitsburgli and Connelleville Railroad Company,
upon 'Condition that an equal amount be subscribed
by other counties, corporations and individuals, we
confidently believe that a Railroad by this route with
out inclined planes will connect Pittsburgh with the
Atlantic seaboard, before a Railroad without in
clined planes can be made
,by any other route; and
the Pittsburgh and Connellsville Railroad by its com
petition with the Philadelphia Railroad will, when
both are finished, forever protect the commerce of
the city of Pittsburgh from any oppressive or un
friendly management of the Philadelphia Company.
Resolved, Thatj %Vm. Lorimer, Jr., F.. 1). passel!),

communicate the foregoing resolutions to the CMII
- of Allegheny County, and to call their
attention to the importance and justice of submit.

LOCAL MATTERS
METHOD= CONFERENCE.—The time of the Con
ference was taken up yesterday with the appeal case
of the• Rev: Johb 'Wesley Osborne, of the Baltimore
Conference. The members exhibit a great dislike
for these cases, in their.abseuting themseliei during
the speeches. Very little in+ertst is taken in them;
for the details are frequently unpleasant. The Ad
voCate, of this morning, thus notices them :
If our readers are disappointed' from the meager
ness of our conference reports to-day they must re
collect that it is not our fault. When the re is abso
lutely nothing to give, we can give nothing.
It ut a great pity that the time of a hundred and
fifty men should be taken up day after day with these
appeal cases. We think it must afford a strong argu
ment for an annual delegate conference, to try ap
peals, and attend to other general matters.
We accidentally omitted to mention yesterday
that in the case of Rev. E. Sprague, of the Troy
Conference, the decision was that it should be re
ferred back—that the Rev. gentleman should have
a new trial.
t.77' There was some strange preaching in the
Diamond on Tuesday night. The words were Eng
lish, but the sentences were those of some other lan
guage, and the ideas nbelong to a race not yet in

yet we knew him not. He was a man, take him for
all in all, we hope we may not see his like again in
the Diamond. There-were among his listeners many
prominent citizens, among others candidates for
office, memtiers of the city government, and delapi
dated voldsiteers.
war It sounded like to old times to hear Wilkins'
voice in a Court room yesterday. Perhaps this-is
the last case he may ever try. We could almost
hope not,though the practice must beit'ksorne to him,
for his career as a lawyer is associated with many of
the most pleasing incidents in the history of the
county. He still retains all his mental and physical
vigor, and were it not for his white hairs and fur
rowed check, we should set .him down foe young
man, filled with hope and ambition. May he live
a hundred years and more.
