The Next Oriel** courier of the 3d inst., pub
lishes in- French an account of a subterraneous
canal which, it jiilleged, has been discovered, con
' fleeting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The
Washington Globe translates the story, and we
publish it for the. benefit alike of the credulous and
incredulous:
"A _French physician, established at Vera Paz,
who besides practising medicine, has the charge
• of extensive farming estates,u pon making some
exceiationsOuridertaken with the view of forming
a canal through which to carry, his produce to
tbe sea, discovered, at-the bottom of the Bay of
Honduras, the 'opening of a monumental canal
seventy-five. retres:wide—atmut two hundred and
forty feet—and running in a straight line towards
the south-west; its sides being, constructed of enor-
Mous. stone rudely cut. The, two walls, which
continued parallel, had been followed to the dia
.- lance of several leagues. • - '
"Having reached the foot. of the mountains,
where the volcano of Fuegu is now in activity and
having cut away huge trees that obstructed the
entrance, they passed under a vault of one hundred
mitres in height, (about 33ti feet,) and of the same
width as the canal. Ncithing among the ancient
~..Cyctopean structures in Greece could give an ade
quate ides'of the tremendous masonry of the walls
of thii vault. The Canal was filled with salt water
twenty metres deep. Our intrepid countryman ditt
not hesitate to'' embark with some. Indiana'
Pirogue which he caused to be brought to the,
spot; and eighteen houri afterwards (if his staiirls
to believed) he -entered the great ocean, (the- Pa;
cific) between Guatemala and San Salvador,
through an immense natural grotto, called by the
fishermen of that coast the Devils. Mouth, which
superstition had deterred them from ever entering.
The whole vaulted part of the structure was light
ed by shafts cut through to the surface above, and
through the whole 'extent is navigable, for the lar
gest ship*: .
.Mid Alexander Humboldt had already mention
ed. American architecture indicated a very high
- antiquity; and revealed a peculiar fivilization, but
his learned descriptions give us no idea of the ex
istence of such .a monument." • .

Dr. A. L. 'Nihon, of Salem, removed a cancer
ous tumor from the breast of a • lady in this town+
while tinder the apaslhelic influence of ether, with
the whist perfect success. At ten o'clock, Friday
morning. a sponge charged with the ether was ap
plied to the mouth and nose of the patient—at the
end'of four minutes she seemed to be in a kind of
semi-unconscious and dreamy state; and apparently
thought she was fondling her babe to sleep on her,
breast—While with her hand she made the motion
as : if soothing it to rest—she said—oluish, hush,
there-go to sleep!'" , In six minutes she seemed
in a deep sleep. •
At, the end of about eight minutes the first*
eision of the scalpel was made; and as stroke after
stroke followed, deep into the living tissue—not a
movement—no, not the slightest tremor of a sin
gle fibre gave signs of pain! . In short, her whole
appearance indicated the most quiet and perfect
rest—dt could not have been more quiet had her .
dream been a reality, and had the soft warm cheek
of the infant babe been pressed upon her bosom,
instead of its receiving the deep incisions of the
surgeon's knife! . .• • . .
The removal of the tumor—the securing Ofbleed
iog vessels and the passing of the sutures, Fee., oc
cupied some twenty minutes; during the whole - Of
which time the patient gave no signs of suffering,
or of consciousness to any thing that was trans
piring around her. Soon after the inversion of the
last salon., she awoke apparently in the full pos
session of her mental faculties, with the inquiry,
•is it all done?"
The operation was witnessed by a number of the
medical gentlemen of this town, who could but
rejoice in 'this new instance of the triumph of art
over human suffering.—Newburyport Herald.
No rich . man—l lay it down as an axiom of all
experience—no rich man is sale, who is not be
ne.volent; no rich man is safe, but in the imita
tion of that benevolent God who is the ixissessor
and disposer of all the riches of the universe:—
What°lse mean the miseries of a selfish, luxurious.
and fashionable life everywhere? What mean the
sighs that come up from the purlieus, and couch
es, • and tnost secret haunts of all splendid and
indulgent. opulence? Do not tell me that other
men are sufferers too. Say . not that the poor, and
. destitute, and forlorn are misetable also. _Ah !just
beef/en! thou'hnstin.thy mysterious wisdom ap ,

Poor - bouseless`wretches who, eat ttleUtßibread

the winter winds blow keenly through your "loop
ed and windoweil raggedness ;^ your children
wander about unshod, unclothed, and unattended;
1 wonder not that they. sigh.= But why should
they, who are surrounded by everything that heart
can wish, or imagination can conceive—the very
crumbs, that fall from. whose table of prosperity
' might feed hundreds—why should they sigh.anoidst
their Profusion and splendor? . They have broken
the-bond that should connect power with useful
ness,, and opulence with, misery. That is the
reason;' They have taken up their treasures, awii
wondered 'away into a forbidden world of tbfir
own, far from the miseries of suffering liumaiuiy;
and the heavy, night dews are descending neon
their splendid revels, and thd all gladdening light
of heavenly benificence is eichanged for th sick
ly glare of selfish enjoyment and happiness; the
blessed angel that hovers over generous deeds and
heroic virtue has fled away from the world , of false
gayety and fashionable exclusion.—Dr. Dewey.

AGRICIII.TURE.
• No more certain sign need wo of the rapid progress
of our country than the increasing interest which is
alniostevery where being manifested in the science
of Agriculture. Indeed, but a few . ycarsago, it was
not regarded as a science at all ; sad we fear that in
many sections of the country even at this day, old
and young farmers (so called) may be found, who
cannot realize that anything new or important has
been discovered in the branch of industry to which
they ore attached. The first agricultural paper in
America was commenced in Baltimore about 2S
years ago. It received but little support; bat the
perseverance and enthusiasm of the Editor, kept It
alive till it excited the attention of some of the lead
ing men of the country. Mr. Skinner has lived to
see, starting up all around him, agricultural papers
and periodicals which have flourished and given am_
ple return for the patronage bestowed upon them.—
Books have been sent from the press without num
ber; and now every good farmer has upon his shelves
works devoted to some sort of husbandry. The re
sult of all this is seen in the increased productiveness
of the country ; in the increased intelligence of the
people . ; and in their increased virtue too. The pre
judice that once existed against "book farming" has
subsided; and the old workers in' the soil are be.
gtnning to look with favor upon the experience of
those who make agriculture a study.
The moat striking change which these publications
have brought about may be seen in the fact that it is
no longer a diagraco to work upon a farm. It lawns'
it is still disgraceful to be ao ignorant soil destroyer;
it is by no means creditable•for a man to starve upon
a "hundred acre farm" as many do; it is a shame to
see a farmer coming to town with poor produce
drawn by horses upon whom, bones one might bang
his bat. But no pursuit is MAC more honorable than
Agriculture, when carried on with proper taste and
skill.
l'or this evident change, we are ail much indebt.-
;ed, perhaps, to the numerous Societies that have
sprung into existence within late years, as to publi.
cations. These societies, by .offering premiums, ex
cite an honorable and 'laudable rivalry; and' thus
the study of the best modes of culture is forced up
on the most slothful. In all the States of this 'Un
ion Agricultural Societies have been .organized.—
Even in the Southein States organizations( have
been effected, and great good has followed. In
New England and New York, in Ohio and - the Great
West, there are the State Associations, and the
county..Associationo : all working vigorously for
the advancement of the great cause: Legislation has
been invoketl with Success, to its aid ; and Congress
at its present sessilm has taken important steps in
behalf of the farming interest—not by the old' party
prsFissitiOntq buti-hy_ direct efforts to aid in lemons
the Oroduitk of the soil. . -
'We commenced this arable with a view of saying
something to reference' to the , singular backward
-
!tenet' the peep e ofthis county , ;for it a too true
that they hare not kept pace with those of neigh
boring diStricts; Salado has been'said and done here
tofore that our papers have never been forced from
necessity to devote a column to Agricultural sub
jects. The readers seemed to prefer almost any
other kind of matter. We see the result. In some
parts of Allegheny it is a fact that the lands have
deteriorated. We' think we might point to instan
ces where the old , barns have rotted down and the
owners have Leon too peer to rebuild ; fences have
gone to decay ;'the soil : Ilea been worn . put ;. the
children have been brought op without eduCation,
without proper fodder clothing—ripe for the.temp
ter. HOW many farmers sons and daughters, in our
own vicinity r have been lost to society from this
simple cause.
But we have hopes that an improvement may take
Place soon. We have evidences of an-. 4 improving
tendeiley." Among these is the "Horticultural
Society.," supported by a few gentlemen' of this
city. It is permanently established; and has alrea
dy done much _good. But the hest sign is to . be found
in the communication of our friend Item!, of Indi
ana township. It seems the very excellent citizens
—or some of them—of that neighborhood hive or
ganized a Society, which promises Well.
Now why can not a-Society be started in every
township Why can not a county Society be form
ed It cannot be contended that there is - not
wealth enough to support one. We do think there
is sufficient intelligence.
In furtherance of this object, we have already
promised to devote a column or more of our Weekly
Post to articles on the science of agriculture. We
think our country readers will thank us for our exer
tions in their behalf. We will do what we can.
But we crave the assistance of all who feel an
interest in the subject ; and who have leisure to put
their thoughts upon paper; -. Friends, send us short
and compactly written communications, and we will
publish thmm.

Geographical Memoir upon 'Upper California, by.
Col. Fremont.
Lectitro on Rot'Armada
thci Lecture of SoLostoistlV. ROBERTS, Esq., last
evening, at Apollo Halliwart lirdeflate by a crown
e:d. and intelligent audience.' It was:an qiCeedingly
able and instructive discourie. , Many,facts and eta
tistics in reference to tlzeltail Roads' cOmpletod;nri 4
der COntract, and in ccintemplation, were presented
in a Blear and concise manner. `° Although we do
not altogether agree with the distinguished,Lecturer
in all hie ideas in reference'to the route to be tra
versed by Rail Ronde West of Pittsburgh, yet at the
same time We do not feel indisposed to quarrel with
,him on that account.' He -lies
z etudied the subject
"pore than we have, and of course ,he is better pre
ipared to form and express an opinion. One thing is,
icertaiir ) the more Rail Roads We have to Pittsburgh,
tt matters not what region of country they may pen
jetrate, the business and wealth of the city will
thereby be increased.
The trial of the Allegheoy factory rioters termi.
'nated at Pittsburg on Friday in the conviction of
eight men and five girls. There were seventeen on
trial, four of the men were acquitted. 'Pie alleged
riots occurred during a strike for . higher, -wages.

ry riots. There was no strikeforliigher • wages, in .
the case.- Our Legislative pnsireil a law, making 10
hours a dayls Work. -The prOprietors of the Penn'
'Factory determined, notwithstanding the law, to run
their machinery 12 hours,. and some forty of the
hands agreed to Work as formerly, Those who
termined to abide by the law of the State, and work .
but the 10 hours, assembled around the factory to
prevent others, if possible, from going to work. It
was then that.the"Riot,was it is called, took place.
There was no strike for
.higher;viages—it was
. only
a resistance of a -violation of the spirit ofthe law.
Ireland.
Each successive arrival from Ireland brings ac
counts of inCreasing miBery and wretchedness in that
unhappy Country., A correspondent of the New
York True Sun, writing from Dublin on the 2.lst ul
timo, says that a deeper gloom than ever seems to
have settled on the nation, and that even at the an
nual festivities of Christmas there was nothing but
" wailing and gnashing of teeth; ", nothing but ac
counts of starvation, nothing but political despair,
nothing but governmental tyranny in every quarter
of the Island.
The same writer goes on to say that the remnant
of means and industry that, among the farmers and
peasantry, survived the wreck of the past threeyears
ha 4 all gone to the landlords in England.
I know one district of the South- r about the rich
est and most fertile spot on the face of created mat
ter—from which siz families are about to proceed to
the West, Wisconsin, Illinois, or lowa. They take
not less than £2OOO ($10,000) each family. They
belong to the best class of our deierted nation—the
educated, middle class farmers, whose hearts are as
generous as their manners are polished. An awful
transition fitaking place. All the laborers and cot=
tiers of the country are becoming inmates of the
workhouses, and the higher grades o f the people,
(those who don't fly to America) are dropping down
to the level of the former,2and of-course must enter
the Barflies.
The gentry are-all paralyzed by the enormity of
the poor rate; and many of them actually want th 9
necessaries oil life.
When the work-houses are crowded, the poor in
the neighborhood are dying by starvation in propor
tions quadruple to that of , tl6 and 47.
It would be tedious and unnecessary in me to in.
dividualize cases of distress, destitution and death,
from penury. -It is now a stale story, a . erambe repe
tita tale, which may appeal to the heart for a mo
ment, and then away. Scene, of horror are frequent
here, that; like an hospital nurse, we are loured to
them, and they, now, hardly excite a passing obser
vation.
The Lord Lieutenant says that all our evils are
social: Very rye!, I Should be glad to know how,
the, rentals of the. country. being X 13,000,000, and
seven millions thereof being absuaeted by absentees,
and spent in foreign cities and on foreign luxuries,
any thing short of legislation can cure that moo
strong social evil.

There is great-Mir about the"Poper' it; ti; laic
the wealthy Catholics will subscribe largely to assist
bim in Lis distress. 'A .great many say that money
should go to purchase food for the starving: but then
it must be remerobered-that Ireland lists purely Cath
olic country, and that the Bishops, the Clergy, and
the Laymen of that church would endure any straits'

Allegheny County Agricultural Society
iltel.AltA TOWNSHIP, Jan. 2'2, 1S•18. •
Dear Sir—l take the liberty to address you,
knowing that you take a deep interest in anything
that has a tendency to promote the interest and
benefit of the community at lame, especially in
the sciences of agricultural and horticullural pur
suits, and your being fully aware of the great
disadvantage That our farmers, in this section of
the country, labor under in not having general in
formation relative to the best mode of cultivating
their farms so as to make them yield abundant
crops without impoverishing them, and likewise
of improving their stock.
lam happy to inform you that the farmers of
this, and several of the. adjoining townships, have
become aroused upon the subject of these import
ant facts. They have recently formed an agricul
tural society, styled the- Allegheny County Ag
ricultural Society, for the express purpose of
endeavoring to promote the science of agriculture„
in all its various branches, in this county. The
society are, therefore, anxious to have every por
tion of the county fully represented in their:body,
and thinking that you would take a lively interest
in this important measure, have requested me, as
their corresponding secretary, to address you upon
fife subject, and to solicit your kind aid- in endea
voring Jo mouse the farmers and citizens, through
out the county, to the importance of the' great
measure we have in view. In fact, it becomes
the duty, of every good citizen• to aid, as much as
possible, in carrying out the true pinciples of ag
ricultural science, asit is from that source- that
the whole humnn family derive their sustenance.
Agriculture is a noble science, and there is no pro
fession more honorable. I consider a scientific
farmer one of nature's true and great noblemen,
especially in our free and enlightened 'country.
For instance, where is there a more independent
citizen in the world, than an enlightened Ameri
can farmer? He is fully aware that it is through
his exertions, and the exertions of his colleagues,
'that every other profession exists.
I aril sorry to say that the science of agriculture,
in all its various branches, has been:_ too long
neglected in this, and some of the adjoining coun
ties; and if some remedy, or new course, is not
adopted, the time is not far distant when a great
many farms in our county will become so , ex
hausted and impoverished that they will not pay
foi. the tillage. We have too much of the old
style of farming. -I am sorry to say that we hive
men amongst us (I won't call them farmers) Who
are opposed to any improvement in, the mode of
farming; they take it almost as an insidt, if you
mention the word improvement to them. Such
men may be styled after a set of men who existed
during the Revolutionary War, who were called
“Skihners"—a set of men who did not hesitate
to plunder both friend and foe. These men go in
for skinhing their mother earth, and they do it
most effectually.- They have about three of these
skinning frolics annually: The first is when pre
paring their land for seed—they skin or scratch
the earth about tsvo inches in-depth. The second
skinning takes "place immediately after the grain
is threshed from the scanty crops they have
raised—they sell almost every spear of hay, straw,
or grain they hive raised, - thus robbing the soil of
every thing. The third skinning frolic takes
place, generally, at the latter part of winter, When
their poor starved stock begin .to - die off; and, I
.
,
regret to say, this moe of skinning i s pursued:
from-year to year.- It would be almost as hope
less an' undertaking to get such men to enter into
a idan of improvement as it would be to endeavor,
to stop the tide - of emigration to thevild:regions
of California. Enough of this.
• •
-
There is something wantinflo-ritirriniate the
farmers herg, and to creatliginutirtion l amongst
them, sci as td induce them, by eiperiments rindirri
provenents, to strive to out do each °Agri - alai
. 40 not think that there is anything that will have
more of atendeuirto do it than the Society that
is formed. - -The arrangements of the Society. will,
of course, be similar , to those in other sections of
the country. They will have annualexhibitions,
and, of course, will award premiums to those that
merit them, in the production , of _crops, the im
provement ofirtocit, or the intioduction of superior
agricultural implements, &c., &c.
Dear sir, you must excuse me for .trespassing
so long upon your 'time- and good nature. I
would likewise ask you to forgiie all informality
or error in the aboye communication to Yotr, ail
am but a plain farmer, and better calculated to
hold the plough stilts than to wield the pen.
Any communidatitin !hat you "flay male thin
he columns of your valuable paper, will be thank

I remain yours, &c.,

False Reports.
The Journal of this city, a few days since, pub
lished a - letter from Washington city, underCiate of
Jan. 20th, in which the writer stated that a .caucus
of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress hadheen
held, at which Andy Stewart had been recoMmend
ed as Secretary of the Treasury, - under Gen; Tai
lor. The Baltimore Sun's correopondent, in writing
from Washington under date of Jali. 22(1,0mi - days
later than the above,) says: ,
The Pennsylvania delegation have held consults.;
lions as to the designation of a citizen of that State
for a Cabinet office, under Gen. Taylor. Meg hare
not agreed to reemnni,.nd ang one, butlthey will, be
ready to do so, in case Gen. Taylcir should ask their
advice. Gen. Taylor may not give thetri the troebie.
The reason is that he win . ..take Gov. Jahntion, br
Mr. J. It. Ingersoll.
ab it appears, after all, that there has been - no
recommendation of ,c , Handi - Andy?' It is quite
probable that either Stewart or his loving friey
Hampton wrote the letter to the Journal, or procur
ed some one to perform that dirty piece of business
for them. The matter is altogether worthy of the
genius of Moses Hampton ! . -
Armstrong Senatorial District.
The - Armstrong Democrat, in a postscript, dated
Jan ,24, noon, says: “We have just been informed
thatth'e Demoeraticlkenatorial Delegates from the
several counties in the district,. met in Convention
on Tuesday last, in the Borough of Indiana, and un
animously nominatad Auousrus Daum, Esq., of In'
diana, as the Democratic candidate , fur the State
Senate.” This election has been ordered to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Gov. John
son. Mr. Dams, the nominee, is a thorongh-going
Democrat, and an active, intelligent citizen. The
election takes place on the 2d ofFebruati. On the
same day, there are township electinns in Indiana
county, which is ti strong federal regiett:" The fed
eral mangers at flarrisburgh, no doubt fixed upon
that day for the Senatorial election, hoping that they
could induce their drilled followers to turn out
their strength, and elect the federal nominee. Bat
we hope the Democracy will-not Buffer themselvel
to become lukewarm or indifferent. Let them go
to work in earnest, end they must succeed in elec
ting their candidate. •
