Oregart....i.Valltoralit--..The Pacific.
But a few years ago Cape; Mums explored the
Pacific coast, sod Lsvars and CLang.r. penetrated the
immense territory west of the Rpelty Mountains-
Since then public attention has been directed to that
portion of 'the world. The Reports of Messrs.
Coshing and Linn, and the recoinoisances of Cot
Fremont, have thrown additional light upon the ge
ography of the country. About four years ago,
hundreds and thousands of hardy young moo, in

' The war with Mexico resulted in the acquisition
of California, a territory about as large as tho origi
nal thirteen States of the American Union. Its rich
and inexhaustible Gold' Mines at once attracted
thither an immense population, chiefly young men
of enterprise and intelligence, who were dazzled
• and enchanted with the pictures of this new El Doi
'redo of the west. Inviting and valuable as ore the
gold mines of California, in our humble opinion the
rich soil and healthy climate of the country hold
out superiorindocements for permanent emigration.
At no future day, the agricultural wealth of Califor
nia will bo equal to that of any portion of the globe.
Hence the trade of that country will become impor
tant to the United States.

lIARPER,EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR•
PITTSBURGH:
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 31, 1849.
laThere aro at present three modes of communica
tie's. with California and the Pacific coast: Ist, by
the overland, or old emigrant rout from St. Louis;
2rl, across the Isthmus of Panama; 3d, around Cape
Born. The latter, although at present more travel
ed than any other, will soon, we have reason to be
lieve, be abandoned altogether, as it is long, tedious
and extremely hazardous. The Panama Railroad
project will certainly be carried out at an early day,
which will bring the two great Oceans at once to
gether, and eecure an immence trade with Califor
nia; Oregon and China. The Railroad project of
either Col. Benton, or Mr. Whitney, will probably
be built at no distant day, which will open a great
central overland communication across the North
American continent.
Leaving out of view entirely the vast business of
California and Oregon, we think oar countrymen
would act wisely if they would make a bold and
determined effort to secure the immense trade of
the Chinese Empire, at present monopolized by Eng
land.' John 8011, it seems, is already becoming
jealous of the growing greatness of the United
States--"the young Giant of the West"--and the
project is now being discussed by British Statesmen
of building a Railroad through the British Posses
' sione north of us. Although such a scheme would
undoubtedly sink England deeper into Bankruptcy,
yet her Statesmen nod financiers care not, if they
succeed in " heading the United States." The prob
abilities at present are that long before John Bull
can build a Railroad across the Continent of Amer
ica, he will lose his possessions in the North. The
tenure by which the Canadas are held to England,
is extremely uncertain. A Republican feeling pre
video the masses of Canada, which at any time may
break out in open rebellion, and a Declaration of
liideiondence" will be the result. The building of
a British Pacific. Railroad, through the Canadast
therefore, depends mainly upon the contingenty
that the people of the Provinces shall continue to
be good loyal subjects of her Majesty, Queen Victo
ria. If the people of the United States adopt
—prompt and decisive measures to secure the trade
of the Pacific, especially China, the benefit derived
therefrom will bo Incalculable. In the article of
Tea, alone, there will be a saving, in a few years, to
the people, sufficient to build a Railroad to the Pa
cific.
This is a subjccr worthy of a more minute exam
nation, and we shall tenor to it again.

For the Morning Post.
To the lion. Bonner Denny, President
of the Select Cosine •
Sat beg leave with due courtesy to cell your
attention to a remark, raid to hare been made by
you at the last meeting of Councils, calculated, if
not intended, to affect injuriously the interests of nu
morons citizens. 11 your words have been correctly
repotted, it is duo to those citizens that you should
establish their truth, and justify
,the utterance of
such a remark ; and if not, it is but fair and kind to
you that an opportunity should be afforded of Cl
plaining the true intent nod mopping of your words
When the memorial of the Fawners and Mechanics
Turnpike Company was presented, It is said thatyou
remarked to-Councilmen in a sneering manner, that
-.11000
...12000
...10000
4. it was only another communication from Di.'Gaz
tam." With a-•gentleman of your Parliamentary
experience; I will not contend that such a remark so
made by the Chair, even if true, was a breach of de.
corum, or of order, as that istt question for you and
those whom, you addressed, to settle; bat I will re
spectfullyshor that it was not true, and also wherein
it was calculated to thwart the reasonable wishes,
and injure the interests of numerous citizens. An
other communication" implies that I had made a
previous one, when in fact f have never made to the
present councils any communication whateier ; and
in the second place, a Memorial from a Turnpike
Company, represented by two other offiCere besides
myseff viz: the Preaident nod Sequestrator, while my
my name appeared only as Scribe, or Secretary,
. could nut anywhere with truth be called " a com
munication from Dr. Gazeam," much less could it
with propriety be so designated officially from the
President's Chair, even.without the accompanying
sneer. The fact known to you that the memorial
had been unanimousty approved by a meeting of ci
tizens, who recommended it to the earnest consider
ation of Councila,"made it rather the joint memorial
of the citizens and the Turnpike Company, and
therefore by whom it was.writteu or signed, or hans
dale, was, or should have been, a matter of indif
ferenee to Councilmen; and 'even though written by
a person obnoxious to the patrician prejudices of the
Preside.nt, that cituninstanne could not convert the
Memorial of a public corporation, and of a public
meeting, into a comtnunienllon from a private indi
vidual. The tendency, if not the object of your re
mark, it is easy to explain. . • .
A communication to a ropresentativo'body from a
private citizen, complaining of misfeasance or mal
feasance of public officer. or agents, never does,
and perhapsziever ought, to receive as much atten
tion as from a large number of citizens; and against
almost any individual or.private memorialist preju
dices, political or otherwise, might be raised or
created by a eneering remark from the President,
which be could not excite, if he darrittto attempt,
against a largenumber of persons'af different sects
and parties. And wo all know that such is the ire
perfee.tione of human Wire, that prejudice once
escited against a Wiener would hardly fail to
warp the judgment and inn:once of action in re
; gard to the petition itself. •
For the discourtesy shown towards myself, per.
sondly, I make no complaint, and need no redress;
but in so tar as . the i ebjects and wishes of the Turn
pike companyittnd of. Other persons have been im
• peded by this indirect tit - ode anttack, it becomes me
to ask your reiiconsidemtion of the matter ; and, on
the other,hand, if you have been misapprehended, it
seems Only fair to afford you a public opportunity of,
correcting a public rumor, alike discreditable to
your fairn ells and 'Courtesy.'
Your oh" t. servant,
EDWARD D. GAZZAM.

The weary houreare well nigh spent,
Of cheerless toil toad Pahl;
And hope, long in his bosom pent,
Begins to throb again ;
For William's wistful eye sees home,
Where yonder sunbeams slant;
And there his kindling fancies roam,
Far from the city's flaunt.
The pleasant glimpse new spiritlends
To William's toil-worn face,
He labors' quick, but often bends
His eye on yen. fondplace. 1 '
The sun now quickly rune his race- -
The. shadows lengthen fast—
The golden clouds reflect hie face--.
The working day is past. •. .
•
With hasty steps, though not so light
- As In his youth's fair prime,
He reaches home, now nearly night,
The many thousandth time.
His board, supplied with frugal store,
Long ready for him stood; '
And, clustered round his lowly door,
He spied hie little brood.
,
They ran to meet his fond embntce,
And kissed hite o'er and o'er,
And fairly stopped his homeward
-pace
Before he reached his door.
At length be struggled forth again,
And with his pleaunt load
All dangling at his arms amain,
He entered his abode.
He sat him to his table plain,
His cleanly children too, -
And all as glad to meet again'
As though 't were something new :
For fortune was to him unkind
--
In all things else save this,
And in his children were entwined
His every thought of bliss.
Their mother heedless wandered round,
Or sometimes toyed with fluters,
Or silent eat upon the ground,
Long solitary hours.
Her mind a wreck since Tommy died,
Her love deep in his grave,
She coldly gazed on all beside,
But ne'er was heard to rave.
Her children learned to pass her by
As strangers pass each other,
But, oh ! they sometimes heaved , a sigh
For their poor crazy mother.
She quiet took her evening meal,—
But happy childhood's glee
'Made William brisk and playful feel,
And all his spirits free.
The supper past, with voice not weak,
The children called for play;
Tho moon was up, and " hide and seek"
Was entered on most gay.
Blythe Jim and Noll first ran to hide
Within the ample space;
They needed none to be Their guide
About that well known place.
Soon snug enough, he whispered Moll
To know Walt was right,
Then gaily gave a mothered call,
Their seekers to invite.
Oat nulled they then with speed and glee,
And sought with eager eyes—
In vain they sought—" where can they be ?"
They asked with true surprise.
At length rang out, with silver sound,
The voice of pretty Ann,
" They 're here, they're here—they're found,
they're found,"
And off she swiftly ran.
A fine old tree stood by the well, .
Whose moonlight shade was deep,
Aon fled beneath the tree, and fell
O'er some alight-yielding heap:
She toppled headlong down the well,
" Oh save!" she faintly cried ;
Her brother, he--sh, sad to tell, -
He came, be fell, he died.
And Moll, with speed as eager flew,
But fell not down the steep,
Yet, sweet one, she must alto rue
The touch of that dark heap.
TT was their own mother crouchlog there
• So still, so stark and cold—
So rudely pushed, like polar bear,
She grappled deadly hold ;
She wound her furious arm, around,
And killed her poor young daughter,
Ere William, frantic with the sound.
Sprung madly forth and caught her,
w lily child—my children "—gasped the man,
.‘ Contusion seize—oh, save—
And you, my wife "—his tongue thus ran,
To pray, and curse, and rase.
Thon many months ho writhing lay,
Before the crisis passed,—
That fearful night, begun so gay,
In horror long did last.
Poor William now is daily aeon
Where hastening Crowds pass by;
With bloodless heart, but face serene,
He lives, but oh ! should die

Verge is very contradictory.
The rebels were near San Louis de Potosi. It
was thought that the government would be unable
to stop the progress of the rebellion. The Indians
had considerable mistrust as to the good faith of
Government in what they proposed to them if they
would lay down their arms.
Gen, La Vega returned to Tampico on the 17th

conspiracy at that place was, however, quelled,

Jimmy Mernrics.--The - ntheting Called- at tffe
Vow .Court fleurse'yesterday afternoon, for the put-,
pose of talcing , into ceinsideratien , Meastirealor the
relief. of the sufferers by the late disastrous fire.itt
St. `Loehr, we are pained, for the honor of our city,
to say, was only'attended by thirty six persons, in. ,
eluding four newspaper repoiters.
- R.41. Kerr moved that the meeting.come to or
der by Mayor decree taking the Chairs - -
Mayor Rush, of-Allegbeny, city, and John Ander
son, Esq., , weie appointed Vice President&
Gen. J. K. Moorhead and Mr. Vonbonheret wore
appointed Secretaries.
After the call for the meeting had been read'
Col. Black inquired:ifany person present had come
prepared with resolutions, if not, he would Move
that a, committee, to consist of five, be appointed
for the , purpose of drawing up a seriee of resolo
tions expressive of the sense of the meeting. - -
On that committee the Chair'appointed,,Col. S.
W. Black, Col. J. K. Moorhead s R. H. Kerr F. Kay
- -
and Robert Kennedy. -
During the abeenCeof the committee, , the Rev.
. .
T. C. Teasdalo stated that as there appeared to be a
vaCipum at this present moment, he would ,merely
say that he had come tb the meeting expecting to see
a good deal of Mterest manifested in behalf of the
sufferers by the late :disastrous fire at St. Louis: Be
had recently visited St. Louis,' and had pa.esed over ,
the ground laid in ashes, and was therefore prepar
ed to detail the amouotof suffering which must ex !
ist in that community.
He looked upon the proceedings of this meeting
as of the greatest importance; as we had ourselves
but recently, recovered from a like disaster. He had
made up his mind to give up political matters to
lawyers, mayors and aldermen, but in works of char
ity like this he considered it the duty of the ministry
to engage—therefore he did not know why it'was
he stood alone on this occasion. • ,
We should take the lead to provide relief for the
suffering 4 of our sister city. St. Louis was among
the first who symthised with us—among the fleet to
reach out her hands to us, the hour of our die.
tress. He was surprised at the tardiness manifested
by,our citizens in this matter: Surprised that so fete
had come forward to this meeting. We should be
the first to set an example in this matter—the first
to show the extent of out. liberality. Our loss is at
this day entirely made up—it is ' a question if we are
not richer and more , powerful than when the disas
ter of '45 betel us, and hoped we would not be
ashamed of oar liberality.
- Col. Black stated that the committee were now
ready to report, and with permission he would read
the following resolutions:
Raolverl, That we sympathize with the sufferers
of St. Louis,now stricken with fire and pestilence,
and desire to give immediate proof that our sympa
thy is sensible and sincere. Therefore we recent
mend that a Committee of two persons from each
Mini of the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny be
appointed, whose duty it shall be to go to work at
once and collect contributions of money; provisions,
clothing and all other necessaries useful to the vic
tims of the St. Louis fire. Weals% recommend that
the ward Committees have power to raise block com
mittees under them to aid in , the advancement awn
philanthropic duty. Prompt, energetic and generous
action becomes a people so signally relieved as we
were when the cloud that followed the fire of 1845
hung heaviest upon our heads. Present duty derives
its inspiration from past memory.
Resolved, That the officers of this meeting be au
thorised to appoint the ward committees, and also it
suitable person as receiver and treasurer of the
Board.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
K. H. Kerr stated that he had drawn up a resole-
tion but that the committee bad not considered it
expedient to.have it inserted with the others. He
woald read it in order that the reporters could made
a note of it.
The resolution is as follows:
Resolved, Tbat those per eons who received relief
and aid from the fire fund of '45, and are now rich,
should return the amount theyreceived--which wilt
be acceptable now, without interest.
Mr. Kerr stated that he had this day conversed
with a gentleman who had received relief in '45, and
that the gentleman had informed bins that he'merely
considered it a loan. and was ready and willing to
hand it over to the sufferers in St. Louis. It was a
duty they owed to God to give it back, at least a
,portion of that which they had received. Men had
received aid from the Relief Fond 0' 7 45, whovvere
now rolling in their carriages. He was responsible
to himself alone for what be said, and he would
speak his mind. It was necessary that something
should be done immediately. He was -a poor man
himself, but would give a Beaton mint-drop. -
The Rev: Teesdale offered a series of Resolutions
as a substitute for the one offered by Mr. Kerr. They
were of the same tenor.
Col. Black begged leave to express his dissent
to these resolutions, they did not express the object or
the meotiog. These resolutions were intended to
shift the responsibility uff our shoulders, and place
it upon those who had received the charities of the
widows and children in "45. With that we have
nothing to do—our duty and our businesa is plain.
We most act promptly. If those people who recei
ved from the Relief fund; aid, do not wish to give,
we could not force them ;—let us come up to the
work' urselves—let us give. If this course is not. to
be adopted, what little I have to give, I will send
off privately, and not participate in this meeting
which wishes to levee contributions from others.
We should giro ourselves, and not ask other people
to disgorge what they have held for four years ; he
did not desire to see any such spirit as that—let the
meeting not with its own funds, and give with an
outpouring heart.
[The above is but a brief abstract or the Col.'s
very eloquentepeech.l
Mr. Teesdale did not think that the resolutions
implied that our contributions were to be confined to
what bad been received in '45. People could give
what they pleased.
Mr. Kerr moved to amend by striking out all after
the word Resolved, in Mr. Teasdale's resolutions,
and inserting the resolution previously read by
himself.
Mr. Vonbonhirat believed that the resolutions
would tend to wound the feelings of many of our
fellow citizens, and he would therefore_Move that
they all be laid on the table:
Mr. Kerr stated that the'resolution was not intend
ed to wound the feelings of any one. Pittsburgh had
shown meanness both, in this and other mattera,
What had become of all the relief funds; a portion
had been sent to Cincinnati at the time of the freshet
—where was the balance i-ho would leave the an
swer to members ofCeancil. A gentleman informed
him that there was $2OO of the relief fund left—let
it be sent to St. Louis.
The motion to lay on the table was adePted.
On motion, adjourned.
