Mr. S. is a member of the Pittsburgh Bar, and ranks high as an able an eloquent advocate. He lias occasionally Contributed literary effuaione to the columns of the Morning Post, within the last few years. .• Home wood? as our citizens are aware, is the name of the delightful and romantic residence of the Hon. Wrizreit Wumnrs, a few miles east of this city. itter` Our Lqcal Editor, Mr. Tuonstrusou, is still closeted in the Jury room of the U. B. Court, in the case of Boller.

They stand air for convic tion and six for acquittal. litdr A large concourse of our citizens yesterday visited Mr. Bucmarree, at the St. Charles Hotel, and were highly pleased with his plain, unostentatious .manners and practical good sense. He will rem ain over until Monday. REOMPTION OF lilt. DUCHA.NAN We yesterday morning briefly alluded to the re ception of the Eon. Jeans Bucusussi, by the Com mittee of our Democratic fellow-citizens, who met him at Shouseto*xt, on hie way hither. We now have the pleasure of presenting to our readers a re port of the remarks made on the °cession, reported expressly for the Poet : iIEMARIII3 OF COL. IifiC.ANDLESS Ma. Bererhirrntry fellow•Damocrats, upon she impulse of the moment, have requested that I would bid you welcome to Pittsbigh. Ido so, Sir, with great pleasure. Had your letter, announcing the probability of your arrival to-day, not miscarried, the fleet of steamboats at our wharf, would have been inadequate to contain the throng of people anxious to greet you. It is rare that you visit Western Pennsylvania; and when you do come, your approach is so silent and unostentatioue, that it is difficult for your per wool and political friends to know the period of Jour advent. Travelling alone, without equipage or attend ants, you present the simplicity and beauty of the Republican character, illustrated in your private life, and stereotyped in your admirable political pa pers. Identified as you are with the administration of Mr. Pout, permit me to tray. that in the judgment of those who surround you, its parallel can only be found in the early Presidents and Cabinets, who looked for their guide to the welfare of the people, and the preservation, intact, of the Constitution 9f the United 'States. In the name of my Democratic fellow-citizens, here, hastily and apontaneonsly assembled, I invite you to oar aggregate indindividual hospitality. REPLY OF MR. BUCHANAN Your welcome, on behalf of my Democratic fellow citizens, is characteristic of the cordial friendship and support which I have ever experienced from the Democracy of the City of Pittsburgh and County of Allegheny. Throughout my past political life, they have always sustained me; and this with increased energy in the hour of severest trial. When clouds and darkness appeared to obscure my path, their cheering voice has always been potent in dispelling the gloom and restoring the sunshine. From my heart I thank them for this spontaneous and enthusi astic welcome, but Lfeel that any attempt of mine to express the emotions which now swell my bosom would be a vain effort. lam now a private citizen and the day of my politica/ trials has probably pass ed away forever;, but the record of their past kind - nets is indelibly engraved upon my heart. My connexion with the administration of Mr. Pikk, to which you have 'referred, will ever be to me a source of heartfelt satisfaction. I can truly aay that he was himself the leading and guiding spirit of the Cabinet. With abilities of a superior order, he :Mi. ted indomitable energy and untiring perseverance. Whatever he determined to do; he did it with all hie might. He was the most laborious man I have ever known; and hie life was devoted, indeed I might al most say he fell a victim, to hie labors and anxiety in the service of his country. Would that an All: wise but Mysterious Providence had spared him a few years . longer to witness the effects of the mea sures of his administration! A very brief period will serve to dispel the mists of prejudice which now hang over his policy: and I venture to predict that the day is not far distant, when the American peo ple, without distinction of party, - will do justice to his memory and award him a niche in the temple of fame among the wiriest and best at his predecessor°. I shall ever regard the part which I acted in his ad ministration, in conjunction with my eminent and patriotic. colleagues, as the proudest and most use ful period of my life. GOLD MUM m INDIANA.-41 is said that Mr. Grig, of Morgan county, has found and is working a old mine on hie own land. Laige amounts of the pre. cloue metal hale been taken from it, and a goodly number of 4, washers t 2 are employed.

They know - well,tbey cannot get such a monster resuscitated. Hence, they only want a modification of the act of 1840. In 1846, however, nothing but the tariff of 1842 would answer their purpose. They then spurned every proposition of a modification of the act of 1842. By doing so, they forced the friends of a modification of that act, to carry it further than, under other circumstances, they might have done. They have also, forced up. on the country an investigation and a discussion of the subject, which will go forward until the idea of protection for Me sake V protection, will be no more heard of in the land. The precept proposition of the federal party to modify the act of 1846, is like the proposition of the monarchists of France, during the late revolution, to place the young count of Paris upon the throne, when a thrilling race from the multitude announ• ced--ii is too late! Revolutions do not go back. wards; neither in this enlightened era, will the light of science and truth recede in the United States._ Their course is onward. The tariff of 1846 may be modified, bat it will be to still further remove untie. cessary taxation and restriction from the people. The Louisvill Courier of Monday last says: "Mr. Birmingham, the clerk of this 111-fated steamer that was burnt at New Orleans, was in this city Saturday, and we learn from him that the boat had about 160 tons of freight, chiefly for points above Louisvii e. The cargo was principally dry goods, but the confla gration was so instantaneous that all his books and papers were lost. He felt convinced however that all the freight for Louisville was forwarded goods. consigned to A. Buchanan & Co., A. Dowdy & Co., Sherley & Escott, sad Wilson, Starbird & Smith. Capt. Koontz, the captain of the Aaron Bart, ar rived here Saturday night. Be thinks that a cabin boy, and a deck passenger were lost at the burning of the boat, as nothing of them Gould be found tee next day. One of the engineers rushed through the burning cabins, made a rope fast to the iron safe in the clerks office, and succeeded in saving it." Yesterday as Mr. Lirnca, the old carrier of the Post was riding around on horseback, learning the weekly route to another, the horse took fright on Grant street, near the Court House, and ran off at a rapid pace, dashing Mr. L. to the ground. We re gret to learn that be was considerably injured, so much so as to prevent him from doing any brininess for the present. His back and shoulders were very much bruised, but fortunately no bones were bro ken. Such of our weekly subscribers as may not re ceive their papers will please call at the office for them. As soon as possible we shall have a new list made out from the subscription books. Notwithstanding the Federal monopolists and panic Conservatives assert that the Tariff of 1846 M " ru ining " the iron and coal interests In Pennsylvania, it is a fact, that one of our principal Coal Merch ants, (Jona D. MILLER, Esq., of South PittabUrgh,) is now shipping " black diamonds " to Philadelphia for the Gas Works of that city. Pittsburgh Coal in Philadelphia! Oh, this cursed " British Tariff of *46 !" This celebrated painting or West, (copied by Donlap,) has arrived in this city, as will be seen by an advertisement in to-day's paper, and will be ex hibited by the proprietor, Mr. livrcanvs, ror a few days, at Apollo Hall. The exhibition will commence this (Saturday ' ) evening. Tats Cons litnestnetstotr-4nteresUng —lt has been a matter of speculation for some time what country the Round Islanders were to conquer. Mr. Griffith R. Williams , sergeant-major of the late regiment on Round Island, informs the editor of the St. Louis Union that their ultimate destination was the island of Cuba. The men were to have been shipped to the Island of Lopez to be drilled and armed. The expedition has been in contemplation for many years, and the funds for Its support had been accumulated by annual donations froin the planters of Cuba, and were deposited In New York, subject to the order of Gen-Lopez, the general man. ager of the expedition. Its object was the estab lishment of a Republican Government in Cuba.— - . For the present the expedition has been abandoned, but Cols. White and Biscoo, the leaders, entertained no doubt as to its ultmate success. LAID OLL.—lo Cincinnati it is calcnlated that 11,000,000 pounds or lard will be run into lard oil this year, two-sevenths of which aggregato will make atearine, tho rrsidue oil, say about 20,000 barrels of 43 gallons each. There is also an establishment in that city eaten. sively engaged in extracting the grease from the res. idne of the hog, and will probably this year operate in this way on 30,000. This concern alone is ex pected to turn out this season 3,000,000 lbs. of lard. 3,000,000 lbs. of stearine have been trade in one year into candles and soap in these factories, and they can make 6,000 the. of candles per average daily throughout the year. TREATY WITH THE SANDWICII ISLANDS,—The Bos ton Traveler makes the important announcement that Kamehaweha, King of the Sandwich Islands, has appointed James J. Jams, of Boston, a special commissioner to Washington, London and Paris, with the request that he should negotiate treaties with the governments of the United States, Great Britain and France, by which the islands will in fu ture be untrammeled with regard to political inde pendence. Mr. Jarves was for many years a resi dent of the islands. Da. McCurrrocx.—The Greensburgh Argus says: We notice with much pleasure that Dr. J. ft. Mc- Cutirocit, member elect from Allegheny county, is spoken of in a number of our exchange papers in connexion with the Speakership of the next House of Representatives. The Doctor is eminently qual tiled for that Important station, and in view of the noble manner in which the Democracy of Allegheny acquitted themselves at the late election, his eleva tion to that post would be a compliment highly de served both by himself and the Democracy of his county. Dir What has become of the Pittsburgh Mercury? It has been abeont from our table for some two or three weeks. This is no privation to us, for its "lo cal news" was quite stale before it reached here, and ITS POLITICAL MATTER WAS OF THAT ADULTERATED STAMP THAT MADE rr EVEN MORE OBNOXIOUS THAN OPEN AND AVOW ED FEDERALISM. We would like to know, how ever, why the Mercury has ceased to make its ap• pearance on our table--whether the fault is in the mails, or with the editor. It was some time before we 'could convent to an exchange with the Mercury, notwithstanding it was regularly sent us, and in ap, pearance wee very respectable; but we bad slater; regarded it as a FOE IN DISGUISE, and took the liberty of plainly expressing our opinion to that ef fect. Whether this opinion has offended the editor, or whether be he become ashamed of his DEMI FEDERAL DOGMAS and ceased the publication of his paper, we are unable to Ray. If it be the latter, certainly the Democratic party of Allegheny will have no cause to mourn over its demise. If tbe . Mercury has stopped the exchange with us because we could not approve his foolish course on the Tar iff, he will find few Democratic papers in the State that will answer his purpose. MO" An individual who would swindle his work.. men, and reduce their wages to a level with the "pauper labor of Europe," is a fit instrument and tool for the Federal Conservatives to employ to ad vocate their darling "protective" humbug!

Expedition to the Dead Sea and the The public mind of the United States seems to be . gradually opening to the great truth, that peace has its triumphs as well as war. The exploring expedi: tion sent out under Captain Wilkes was an enter prise harmoniously characteristic of an active, ener getic, and inquiring people, and did we not know how unreflective party spirit is aprto make the best of us, we should feel surprised at being informed that even one man was to be found in the Union who could attempt to disparage an undertaking so interesting to the student of Biblical history, and so well calculated to increase the general stock of sci entific informalion as an attempt to circumnavigate and explore the Lake Asphaltites, or Dead Sea—lhe scene of the Almighty's awful judgment upon the "cities of the plain." Those who decried the pro jected expedition as a " party of pleasure, must either have been entirely ignorant, or have quite forgotten, that the journey was one necessarily at tended with privation, difficulty, and danger ; and that both Lieutenant Molyneax, of our naval service and Costigan, the only travelers who preceded Capt. . Lynch, perished of lever caught on the Dead Sea. Nothing, in short, but a happy combination of firm. ness and tack on the part of the officer commanding, and an undaunted resolution to overcome all obsta cles, moral and physical, as well as incessant vig lance, carried the party through the hardships and perils which they had to encounter. THE VOICE OF WISDOM AND Aot.—ln my appre hension, the beat way to be useful and happy in this life is to cultivate domestic affections—to love home, and at the same time to be temperate and just—to pursue lawful business, whatever it may be, with diligence, firmness, and-integrity of purpose, and in the perfect belief that honesty is equally binding in the discharge of public as of private trusts; for when public morals are destroyed, public liberty cannot survive. If we are aspiring, we Aught not to lose our diffi dence; and if ardent for reforms, ought not to lose OUT discretion. Wo ought to listen to the maxima of experience, end respect the advice and institu tions of our ancestors; and, above all, we ought to have a constant abiding sense of the superintending goodness of that Almighty Being whose wisdom shines equally in his works and in his word, and whose presence is everywhere. sustaining and gov erning the universe.—Kent.

He that at midnight; when the very laborer sleeps securely, should hear,as I have often, the clear airs, the sweet descants, thir natural rising and falling, the doubling and redoubling of the nightingales voice, might well be lifted above earth, and say, "Lord, what music halt thou provided for the saints in heaven, when thou ofTerest bad men such music on earth l" Welton.
