From Hanttbnrg. fCOBXSSPOIID TSI KOBBIHO POST.] NUMBER XIII. Hxbbisbvbo, January 30, 1851 Last night the Canal Board announced 6ome of their appointments, which, I presume, you have received by Telegraph before this reaches you.— How far the appointments are generally satisfac tory I am unable to say; but one thing is certain, there are a good many long faces this morning, and tables at the different hotels boast fewer guestß than yesterday. This, however, was to be expect ed . Amongst the hosts of applicants, there would, of course, be many disappointed ones; many of whom doubtless feel very sore, and" will return home with feelings by no means the most pleast ant. In looking over tbe list of appointments this morning, and after having witnessed the scramble under the Canal Board, I cannot but think a change (and that a speedy one), is demanded. There can be no doubt that the annual Convention for the purpose of nominating a Canal Commis sioner, exercises a most pernicious influence upon the interests of the Democratic party, and certain ly will, if persisted in, result in its final over throw. Look at the Conventions already held. With every succeeding year from the first, they have grown in corruption and bribery, the last— the Williamsport Convention—exceeding all its predecessors in this respect, and the coming one promising to exceed even that notoriously corrupt one. These are powerful truths, but the interests of th? party demand that they should be spoken. A remedy, and that an effectual one, must be pro. sided, or we shall have such a state of affairs os SriU leave the Democratic party largely in the w 'il not Ptofend to suggest a better o ** l»m not competent; but I feel “sotting that something might be. <ftjfi* <Shieh' would at once remove tbe evil which has (with the best motives, no doubt, rjn the part of those who first suggested it), been engrafted upon our election laws. The attention of the Leg islaturs should be specially directed to this sub ject. An attempt baa been made in the Senate to abolish the Board of Revenue Commissioners, which, I think, will certainly fail, and rightfully too. What object is to be accomplished by tbe abolition of this Board, is a mystery to every one who feels interested in the prosperity of the State From some statistics presented by Senator Packer it will be seen that this Board has been the source of very handsome revenue to the Stale, and that its continuance is likely to bo productive of equal ly beneficial results. At tbe first meeting ol the Board in 1545, the increase in the value of taxable property in tbe State was $8,739,623, which, at 3 mills on the dollars, increased the revenue annu. ally for three years s26,269—making in all $78,. 807. At the second meeting in ISIS, the estimated increase in the value of taiable property in the State Was $7,014,274, which, at the same rate a, the preceding three years, yielded a revenue of s63,l2B—making on aggregate for the six years the handsome sum of $141,933 ; from which is to be deducted the expenses of the Board, amounting in both sittings to $4,306, which deducted from the gross increase, leaves $137,420 net gain for :be revenue of the State. Now, with these incoi: trovertible facts before us, on what ground do the advocates for the abolition of this Board found their claims! - Certainly not upon a desire to m. creese tbe State revenue. Certainly not with a desire to procure satisfactory and reliable atati.ti. tical information. As the subject will claim warm disc union, I forbear any further remarks st this t ‘ me - Yours, SPRIG.

New Out-fit ott the Cumberland Valiev Rail road.—The Cumberland Valley railroad company, eayi the Harritburg Union, after relaying tho wholo length of the road with lieary T rail and Improring the grades, haa purchased new locomotires and pas, senger cars, of tho very latost and most improved atyle. Persons traveling this route therefore can do so with as much comfort as on any other road in the country. We also learn (adds tbe Union,) that this company has undertaken tho stocking and running ol the York and Cumberland road, which is to be worked in connection with their road, and that it will be opened for trade and travel about the Ist ol February. ErrccTa or Railroads. —As indicating the influ. once of Railroads upon the general prosperity of any district or territory through which they pass, and es pecially in appreciating the value of real estate, it is stated that before the location of the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad through Franklin county, Tenn., the best lands were worth only from eight to ten dollars per acre ; and that since the road was located and the work of construction commenced, the same lands have advanced in price to from fil teen to twenty-five dollars. This shows an increase of quite one hundred per cent. As the road is com pleted and put in operation, the surrounding coun, try must derive still greater benefua from it. Pennsylvania Wool.—Wool is one of tho great I staples (rom which this State derives much of its I wealth ; and we see, with pleasure, that the Logisla* I ture has appointed n select committee, to consider the diacoveries ol our townsman, P. A. Browne Esd., on this subject, to which he has devoted much I attention. If tbe product of wool can be doubled by breeding and crossing the beat hinds whioh produce the final fleece and the most durable and beautiful cloth, caasimere and shawls, it is difficult to see why the Legislature ought not to extend Colonel Browne aid and encouragement. The finest fleeced (tbe golden fleece I) will eat no more pasture than the coarsest; its meat will be as tender and sweet,.but its wool will bring 50,60 or 100 per eent. more. Add to these considerations, the importance of fine wool to American manufactures/ and the Pennsylva, nia resources; and abundance of sound reatonswill moat amply justify the Legislature in lending him a “ helping hand,” in a matter that concerns equally I every ciuaen.— Phita.
