-To Our friends abroad we may mention, that
Charles - Avery 'jai g ent le marl of fortune, retired from
tininess, who owns'a - abate in a cotton factory,
whom we have never . yet'ulloded to; and who is,..the

in 1,0 we are 'informed, with. the management
of the factory in which he holds an interest. We
mere,not aware, until told by the 'attorney of the
conspirators, that Nathaniel Holmes began invest

stock, and b e hold s his means there far the emolu
meets which capital brings in - every branch of hue

mess; and he has nothing, is far as we can learn, to
do with the management or direction of any factory
in Pittsburgh or Allegheny.
How contemptible, then, is this effort to drag these
'gentlemen into a controvcray, in which no one of
them would take - a part, for the purpose Of making
them apparently the associates of the reatconspira;
tort; and by the purity of their characterattract the
eye of the public from the spotted-tyrants who hide
behind them! -

months such swarms of emigrants would be moving
in that direction. It is estimated that at this time
the population of Ban Fran'cisco cannot be less than
10,000. The prediczion has been:hazarded that in
one year from this time 50,000 souls will be there.—
The papers-daily give us evidende that every city
and town in thinUoine is pouring forthits full share
of nrdent plating men whose destiny it will be to aid ,
in befitting op tlwiniw Commonwealths in the Pacific.
They haven destiny still higher thus the mere ciea:
tion of wealth and organization - of new States. It
Will be their'detyi directed by the' hand of God, to
spread the institutions of civilization over portions of
the globe heretofore imperviouslotruth.
It will be the nti.'E4lion of the Californian. &meal°
Prove the practicability of institutions
: Mid social
usages which are here'regarded as chimerical. . The
'intone and, intelligent:Y . 9ml teen who are now
whening their" way thither will notoontent theta
selves with the mere hoarding o f dint. Their aspir
ations are nobler. They' will hardly be willing to
permit the establishment,of institations there which
have been the cause'of their depression here.
We will hear of " Model Conimonwealths" be
fore the lambs 'of many years. They may not resem
ble the Commonwealths that have been depicted by
enthusiasts as theimost fitted for mortal man ; but
that the. States Of :Upper California will exhibit to
the.world the laM that the mass of mankind are'des
tined' to "a higher sphere of existence than any now
dotted there, none can doubt.
Within a few weeks many of our personal friends
eve started, and others are busily preparing for this
" new found land." Some say; 4, I intend to hunt
gold and when I get enough I may come back and
enjoy it." Others say that they intend to remain
there for the balance of their lives. We saw one
.young_fellow with a box of seeds, which gave evi-.
deuce that he intended to giant' himself . epee the
soil of California. We cannot discourage emigration
thither. , Everritern of news that comes invites all
who have hope and perseverance. That all who
live and enjoy ordinary health will 44 do well" as
the world phrasrs it, we feel confident. The dan
gers from no government will be but temporary.—
The men who will arrive there during the summer
and fall will need no armed force to keep order.—
We believe there will be as much' juatice there with
out law ea here with it. The vagabonds who have
congregated about the gold diggings will be ever
wbelmed by the superior strength of those whose
interest requires good government.
We say, therefore, to all who are afflicted with the
fever, and whose circumstances do not positively
prevent, 00. A bright future will be yours.
The honorable course pursued by Messrs. Myers,
Hunter & Veoghtly, the humane and high-minded
proprietors of the Star Factory, is calling fUith spon
taneous praise from all good men, not only in Pitts
burgh, but throughout the country. Their names
are already known in every city, village and hamlet,
from Maine to the Sabine, and are associated with
every thing that is great; noble, manly and benevo
lent. Why is this t We will tell you, reader.
Those gentlemen promptly and willingl'y agreed to
abide by the , TEN HOUR LAW—the Laborer's
" Protection " Law—and indignantly refused to
join with Moorhead, Kennedy, Painter, &c., to vier
late that glorious law, and trample in the dust with
iron heels, the poor, the weak and the destitute, for
whose benefit the law was passed. We wish the
proprietors of the Star Factory &ay meet with un
bounded success, for they richly deserve it. And,
we would say to our friends, without respect to'par_
ty, throughout.the West, who purchase Cotton goods
in Pittsburgh, be sure and call upon Hunter, Myers
& Veogtly, when younext visit this city. They are
gentlemen with whom you can deal with pleasure.
Thoy obey Abe laws of the State, and do not dash
scalding water to the faceit'of poor little helpless
girls. Purchase-from them by all means, and by so
doing, you will put the seal of your disapprobation
upon the unprincipled conspirators against Law and
Labor. .
The winter is favorable; and we anticipate
a glorious spring—such an one as poets seldom de
pict with all their fancy. That vegetation will flour
ish, unharmed by frosts, we cannot doubt.
But to Commercial men, the coming spring also
promises a rich return for their adventures. Cir
cumstances are combining to bring a change for the
better. Though the past four years have been all
that was desired by men of moderate expectations,
we think it certain, that the spring and summer of
1849 will show an improvement upon the past. Mo
nejtivill be easier ; and confidence will prevail.
The only fear in, that trade will be overdone. Be
sinets men should keep before them the history of
past revulaions, and trace their history till the causes
are discovered— which will be found in desperate
risks. The greedy speculator may succeed at times
—but bankruptcy overtakes him in the end. How
true,this is; and what a wanting it should be to
young men now entering the lists to compete with
all the world for wealth.:
The Democracy of Westmorland.
It is with more thaii ordinary Satisfaction we give
place to the following communication detailing the
proceedings Of the - Democratic i County Convention
of Westmorland. Not that the compliment paid to
our poor efforts in behalf of the oppressed seem to
be appreciated; but because the Democrats of our
sister county take the right view of the question at
issue between us and the men of wealth in this
•
county.
While we secure such backing as this, we bid de
fiance to those who hove presumed to destroy our
business. We feel a giant's strength, and shall con
tinue, while we have power, to expose the insidt.
ous efforts of, the money power,to enslave the mdse.
ewer the people, and plant the seeds which shall
bring forth the bitter fruitsfiow reaped by the mill
ions of-starving and perishing people of Europe.
To our Westmoreland friends we say that we find
no words adequate to an expresSion of the gratitude
we feel for the rich enconium they have passed up
on a's. We.will surely endeavor to meet their ap
probation in the future.

wily bit seen that pleasti*.,slarriages, watches and
pianos, form a conspicuoui 4tin the articles of
luxury, but we'rather think that Michigan would
be ahead of the Buckey4 juijhis artiCle, in 040%
Lion to out population:
The annual exhibits of , the condition of Ohio
made by the State Officers: especially the Auditor,
present a very satisfactory view af its•progress.—
By coinparing them together, we seethe changes
which have taken place from year to year, in the
production and finances of the State. In the year
1846, Ohio changed her policy,,by which the, ialp
ation and taxation of the State were made. Pre
vious to that time, property was apprised, without
reference to the value, and taxed, very unequally
The object of the present law is to value property
at its true cash value, and tax all property equally
There may be, and are some exceptions to.the
rule; but, generally the principle is tarried out.—
In va;uing property at the cash value, houses and
lands are necssarity valued in general, at less than
what they would sell for on time; butat an average
cash value, not very far from the worth.
As this system has been in force only three
years, we can compare for only'three years. The
following are the aggregate valuation of three
years:
• Value of
Value of Real Estate. Personal Property.
1846 $324,385,004 880.018,000
1847 336,798,730 84,965,430
1848 330,995,273 ‘ 90,072,718
The aggregate are as follows:
Aggregate Value. Annual Increase
844.14 - 444 004
1847 41063,.160 943,319,156
1848 421,067,001 10,309,831
The total increase in the valuation of two years
is $16,653,887, which makes eight millions three
hundred thousand dollars per annum. In ten years
the increase would `be eighty millions, which is
double the total valae of the State forty years ago.
The present assesed value of property gives two
hundred dollars to each living soul—one thousand
to each family. Considering that the great mass
of people are farmers, , ,living on the soil, and that
property is, in the main, very equally distributed,
this result shows a condition of uncommon Com
fort--of active industry and increasing prosperity.
The articies,.specially enumerated, afford some
curious results. Take these—which may be deem•
ed articles of luxury—for example:
No. of Pleasure Carriages. No of Watches. No.of Pianos.
1940 43,435 e 1,539 1,640
1847 46,759 59.641 1,624
1849 50,964. • 60,302 1,636
._. .
The increase of pleasure carriages is at the rate
of 8 per cent per annum, and the increase of pianos
9 per cent. At this rate the number of carriages
and pianos will be double in less than ten years—
a much more rapid increase than that of the gen
eral property This fact illustrates one of the
great law of PolitiCal Economy, and, one of the
most remarkable principles of history. When a
people in their growth, and acquisition, have sup
plied their necessities, and their common comforts
and conveniences, then the surplus profits will go
largely into luxuries, aiid the luxury of the nation
then increase in much greater ratio than its gene.
ral wealth. This is true of all nations—and with
oat some change in the economy of humadsociely
must continue to be so. To resist this tendency
without interfering with the free agency of man,
is now the great problem in the distribution of
wealth In Ohio, the tendency has, as yet, done
no mischief; for it has taken all its previous exis
tence to supply wants, necessities and comforts
Being also very largely an Agricultural State, this
tendency will be much slower in producing evil
results, than in any of the Atlantic States, where
the demoralization resulting from foreign trade is
already extensively felt in the increase of paupers
and convicts.
George Lippard, Editor of the Quaker City
thus discourses on the subject of the trial of the
factory girls:
PITTSBURG 18 111C0 in historical memories.
Where the City stands at the present hour, Fort
Du Quesne stood nearly a hundred years ago.
And there was a time when Fort Du Quesne and
the surrounding lorests exhibited an enlivening
sight. Six hundred men lay dead upon Brad
dock's field ; Washington was a fugitive with the
mangled form bf Braddock in his care ; the sava
ges were scalping the wounded, splintering the
hearts of their prisoners at the stake, and—per.
chance—dashing the brains of little children
against the rocks of the ravine. History is never
tired of telling the horrors which folloved the de
feat of raddock. The savages bad a merry time
of it, king, scalping, burning—gorging them•
selves with ruin and blood. But the memories of
Fort Du Quesne are laded now. Pittsburg can
lay claim to a complete savage-ism, a stultified
barbarity, which the red cut-throats of Fort Du
Quesne never knew. Pittsburgh of the present
hour=of the year of Grace ISO—stands out in
bold relief from the annals of barbarism. She is
no longer the Smoky City, but henceforth she
will be known as the Blot City—the blot of
Pennsylvania, and of the very name of Pennsyl
vania.
But-we call upon the Mart who keeps a Slave
Pen in Baltimore, to go to Church next Sunday,
and publicly thank God that he is not a Pittsburg
Factory Owner. Hereafter we shall look upon
shambles red with the blood of the negro, as
something better—more Christian—than the law
of Pennsylvania, as "dug up" in Pittsburg, and
hailed with steam-engine hosannas by Pittsburg
Slaveholders. Let no Congressman from Pit:s
burg ever dare to talk in Washington about the
evils of Black Slavery, or the blessings of Free
Soil. Your Pittsburg law, gentlemen, can give
the shambles of Jeffry's nine points of the game,
and beat them too, in every detail of absurd bar.
barity.
One word to the Governor of this State. To
W. F. Johnson, not as a Politician, not as a Whig,
a Taylor Man or Democrat—but as a Man. Far
the honor of Pennsylvania, Governor, release these
girls from jail. Do not let them rot in prison,
like that poor wretch Thomas Love. For the
honor of Humanity oppose your executive Mercy
to this Pittsburgh Law, which bps been dug up
from the grave of a hundred years, in order to
help the Factory Owners of Pittsburg to evade all
law, and trample upon the commonest sympathies
of our nature. Do it, Governor, and do it before
you eat or drink or steep. If you do not—but
no, no. We cannot slander you so basely, as to
dream of a denial from you.
The following excellent remarks on the subject
of destroying birds, originally appeared in the Bos
ton Patriot :
"We are of opinion, that the labors of the sci
entific ornithologists are of far more practical util
ity than the casual observer supposes; and that
even in the business of legislation, 'a regard to his
researches might prevent many errors, which may
much effect the public welfare. Legislation on
the subject of birds has been marked by some es
sential errors, which have led to real evil. By it
woodcocks, snipes, larks, and robbing, are protec
ted at a certain season of the year, whilst war to
the knife is declared against crows, blackbirds,
owls, blue jays, and hawks; these last are treated
as a sort of pirates, subject to' a suspension at the
yard-arm, with the least possible ceremony. It
so happens that the character of these very birds
has, been singularly mistaken, for while the ordi
nance of legislation has been thus systematically
levelled at them, they, on the principle which man
would do extremely well to imitate, have been re
turning good for evil; they have been diligently
engaged in exterminating all sorts of vermin,
whilst never werelhe yilest vermin half so ill trea
ted by the human race.. The crow, for example,-
who is generally regarded as a moat suspicious
character, has had great injustic done him.
In the spring, when the ground is moist, be lives
in a state of most triumphant luxury on grubs; be
eats.the young cbra, it is true; but it is a necessa
ry of life to which he never resorts except when
his supply of :animal food is shortened. After the
corn is tolerably. grown, he has nothing more to
do with it; and in any stage he destroyes five Min
ded pernicious grubs and ,insetts, for every blade
of-grass which he pillages from num. In .the
Southern States he is' regularly permitted to Inc=
coximany.the'plo,iman, and colle c t ,the grubs from
the newly;opened furrow; his life is thus secured

Romantic Generosity
Some twenty-five or thirty years ago, there re
sided in London an old sergeant of artillery.
This person, in the course of his duties, by some
means or other, had been brought into frequent
contact with Sir Francis Burdett, who had con
ceived a high opinion of the sergeant. One morn
ing Sir Fraticis chanced to meet his bumble friend
in the street, andi observing him to be looking
more anxious than usual, kindly said to him,
"what are you 'about? You are
looking duller than usual; ass anything hap
pened?" "Nothing very particular, your honor,"
was the reply, •only my wife has got a son this
morning, and—and—Sir Francis, now'that I think
of it, and pan have no objections, I should like to
name him after you." "Surely, surely," said the
amiable old' gentleman; and remember,'N---,
when he grows up, to put me in mind of this—
perhaps I may able to do something for the boy."
The ceremony of baptism over, at which Fir Fran
cis appeared as godfather, nothing more is said to
have passed at the time. The hon. baronet in the
course of years was gathered to his fathers, as
was also the old sergeant. The boy, meanwhile,
was sent to sea, and, by application and good con
duct, had been promoted to the situation of mate
in a merchant's vessel. A few weeks ago, while in
Liverpool, he saw what he thought a good oppor
tunity of purchasing half of a vessel on his ac
count; but not being possessed of sufficient means,
he wrote to his friends in Edinburgh, to inquire if
they could assist in the purchase. The idea now
occurred to one of the young man's brothers, that
he might take it upon him to make Sir Francis's
heiress aware of the former promise of her father,
and a letter was accordingly sent to Miss Burdett
Couta, detailing the circumstances, and enclosing
the young man's certificates of character. The
reply to this note was received in town last week,
and vras couched in that magnificent style for
which the lady has become celebrated. It con
tained -no vain words, but a hank check for no
less than £l,OOO. However extraordinary this
story may appear, we have good authority for
stating it as a literpl . fact—Edinburgh News.
The Innewitratioek Bien,
At Washington is designed to be the most mag,
nificent entertainment ever given, in the United
States. Ample accommodations are provided for
4,000 persons, with comfortable accommodations
Air both ladies and gentlemen. • The walls of the
Assembly and Supper Rooms are to be richly de
corated for the occasion. The cost of the enter
tainment is estimated at over $7,000, and the
Committee calculate upon the sales of 1,000 tick
ets at $lO each, having resolved to give whatever,
surplus may be left, to the two Orphan's Asylums.
Gungle's band is to attend in consideration of the
subsequent use of the Pavilion, and other ex
penses, which will be $550. The Philadelphia
German Band is also engaged. The dancing pa
vilion measures 150 feet by 50, and the prome
nade saloon 100 by 50. The following items have

without end, raw and in every variety of dressing
This contract ($2,200) for the supper is exclusibe
of all wines and liquors, except the Roman punch
The wines and mixed liquors will, it is estimated,
cost sls,ooo—one item on the list being 75 bask

AN lERIAL STEAMER.—A Mr. Ttobjohn, in New
York, has invented an mrial steamer, which the Sun
describes as follows:
The model steamer was eleven feet and a half
long, and twenty .five inches in diameter, with a sa
loon three feet by four inchis. It . ls composed of
two parts--the upper portion is the "boat" or "bal
loon," built in the lOrm of a cigar; Underneath this
is the saloon or " boat," for conveying passengers,
fuel, the " steam engine," &c. Between the float
and saloon are two large propellers,lvomething in
the form of the wheel of a windmill. The two pro•.
pellers are constructed so as to act upon the air in
the same manner that a screw propeller acts Upon
the water. The air-propeller,; like theArrafer pro
peller, is driven by a steam engine. The. weight of
the /Erbil Steamer is supported in the atmosphere
by the buoyant power of hydrogen gas, with which
the float is inflated. On being inflated and set in
motion, the little steamer flog rapidly around the
hail in every direction, as steered by the redder:7
The rate of speed Was fifty 6.0 i in five seconds.
