Of course we forked thejtandsonte donation over to the .Treasti. ter, with much 'gratification, and thus we gained his permission to mention the praise-worthy act. We hope that others will go and do likewise. Judge !dyers. This mighty man, who was elected from the Clarion Senatorial District as an "independent Democrat," we learn from the Harrisburg Union, Went into the Whig Caucus, and voted for Mr. MArraras, Speaker of the Senate. We are really glad to find him in his right place. The Union says: " Mr. Mrans "may, therefore, be regarded as a good enough Whig for all practical purposes during his term of office. This is generally the case with independent Democrats. Whenever a man fails to act harmoniously with the party, the next thing to be expected of him is, that he will be in the ranks of the enemy."

A ttew paper styled the Republican Advocate has been commenced in the city of Richmond by Daniel Woodson, Esq., to advocate the white basis in the constitution, and the interests of the west generally. It is ably conducted and presents Its principles in brief as follows : from Thomas Jefferson's letter to Kercheval in 1816. "1. General Suffrage. 2. EQUAL REPRESEN- TATION IN THE HEGISLATURE. 3. An Ex. ccutive chosen by the people. 4. Judges elected or removable. 5. Justices, Jurors and Sheriffs elec• tive. 6. Ward divisions. And 7. Periodical amendments of the Constitution."

An ancient writer remarks: "If all the world were paper, and all the tea ink, and all the trees and plants were pens, and every man in the world were a writer, yet they were not able, with all their !aber and e tinning, to set down all the crafty deceits of women " Says a plain but powerful writer of our day, /et parents who hate their offspring rear the to to inherit wealth, and before long they will begtung by every vice. racked by its poison, and damned by its penalty.

The report of the Auditor of State makes the following exhibit of the assessment of property in the State-for the year 1850: Value of lands without improvements, 659,314,801 Value of improvements.-- 25,414,651 Value of town lots and buildings. 16,140,640 Value of corporation mock. 266,516 Value of personal property 36,276,197 Total valuation The number of acres of taxable land for the year was 17025,109; and the number of taxable polls, 149,98 G. The increase in the valuation of property over the former year is $4,014 - ,504; the increase in taxable polls, 6,206. The amount of taxes assessed for all purposes for the current year is $1,519,243 56. The amount of domestic debt outstanding chargeable upon the State Treasury is less than $100,000; and the amount of the foreign debt, provided all bonds were surrendered, is estimated at $7,524,000, upon which, after 1853, the annual interest will be $326,200. With these resources, adds the Indiana Stales man, the ability of the State to meet her engages ments is beyond all question. Who has not read of this famous spot, in the be.

At last advices a project was perfected for its settle- ment and civilization, the Chilian Government secu ring ton certain company the privilege of occupying it for a term of yearn. A writer sayer The object which the Government has in making this contract is to colonize and culetle the Island, for which purpose it is so admirably adapted by the salubrity of its climate, the fertility of its soil, the variety of its products, and its nearness to the coast ; and it is the design of the above named gentlemen, by offering inducements to emigrants and affording them facilities for agriculture, to carry out their plan. The Island abounds in game, goats and a superior breed of horses, and in its waters are found a great abundance of the most delicious varieties of fish, lobsters &c. There is also a safe and commodious harbor from which its products may be exported. One of the first steps will bo to establish means of communication with the ports of Valparaiso and Copiapo, which places will furnish a market for the produce. This will be done first by sailing vessels and ul- timately by steamers, and we doubt not before long it will become a fashionable place of resort in sum. mar. The Philadelphia North American of Thursday gives the following account of tho arrival of the fu. gitive Long in that city, and his departure thence for Richmond : . 1 Long left Now York fur Richmond by the five o'clock line, in custody of Deputy U. States Mar shals Talmadge, Brown, and De Angelis. Ho was guarded to Jersey City by a large police force.— The United States officers, with their prisoners, were met last night, on the arrival of the cars at the Ken sington depot, by Detinty United States Marshals Smith and Halzel, of this city, supported by thirty officers under Police Marshal Keyser. . 1 The negro was conveyed from Kensington in custody of the United States officers and a detail of Marshal Keyser's officers, in ono of Glenate l B ompibuses, to the Baltimore depot, corner of Elev. enth and Market streets, where he was placed in the cars, and started for the south in charge of officers Talmadge, Brown, and Do Angelis, of New York. •' The marshal of police also had a party of his officers stationed at the Baltimore depot for the pur pose of preventing any breach of the peace. No disturbance, whatever occurred. The slave was taken through Philadelphia without the slightest ex citement.l) The Baltimere Patriot of Friday 'says : " The fugitive slave, Long, passed through Bal timore yesterday, in charge of officers from New York, and is now doubtless in possession of his owner In Richmond." ' The Richmond Enquirer of Friday morning con tains the following : Henry Long, the fugitive slave, arrived in Rich, mood lost evening, in the nenthern care, in tho cue• tody of the United States deputy marshal of New York, police officers, Dr. Parker, .fire.” The Fugitive Slave law has therefore been:fully tested and carried into effect. . . • . ••-• •-,‹ •i• Wealth of Indiana.

The above appeared just as we have printed It un. der the editorial head of the Spirit of the Times on Wednesday laat. We remember having read in the Sentinel, over a year ago, an anecdote which will hardly be considered out of place here. The oarrator veld that an aristocratic whig toady approached Mr. Buchanan while that distinguished gentleman was sojourning here, and asked him whether he really thought that ten cents a day wan enough for a labor. tog man. Mr. Buchanan declined saying what he considered a proper rate of wages for a laborer, but answered that he would not like .to give ten cents a day for the labor, physical or intellectual, of a man who would propound such a trnestion !

Buckingham, in his series of reminiscences, in course of publication in the Boston Courier, speaks of the importance of the printer to authors, as follows Many who condescend to illuminate the dark world with the fire of their genius, through the columns of a newspaper, little think of the to tof the printer, who, almost suffocated by the smoke of a lamp, sits op till midnight tb correct his false gram. mar, bad orthography, and worse punctuation. I have seen the arguments of laWyers, in .high repute as scholars, sent to the printer in their own hand writing, many, words—and especially technical and foreign terma—abbreviated; words misspelled, and few or no points, and those few, if there aro any, en.. tirely out of place. I have seen the sermons of di vines sent to the press without point or capitals to designate the division of sentences ;sermons which, if published with the imperfections of manuscript, would disgrace the printerts devil if he were the author. Suppose they had been so printed. The printer would have been treated with scorn and con. tempt, as an illiterate blockhead—as a fellow better fitted to be a wood sawyer than a printer. Nobody would have believed that such gross and palpable faults were owing to the ignorance and carelessness of the author. And no one bat the practical printer knows how many hours the compositor, and after him the proof-reader, is compelled to- spend an re ducing to a readable condition manuscripts that the writer himself would bo puzzled to read." Disostox.—John Randolph, although he did not entertain a very exalted opinion of the Yan kees, was a firm and uncompromising friend of the Union of the States. In one of his speeches in Congress, he once made use of the following language, which should be engraven on the portal of the Capital: "The very mention of a - disunion of the States is a great public injury. It goes to unhinge the tone of the public mind. It makes men acquain ted with the possibility of the thing, and once ad• mitted into their breasts, they will not contemplate it with that abhorrence in - which it ought to be held by every true patriot." - A Goon One.—Epes Sargent, of the Boston Transcript, tells a good many good stories under the head of " Dealings with the Dead."
