Every friend of this great work will be pleased to fiud its affairs m so healthy a condition. Hr. Gougb f * Lectures on Temperance* •The desirp to hear Mr. Gotran lecture on Tern* ; perance increases the longer he remains in Pitts* burgh. He is greeted each night with densely crowded aadiences. W£ have never listened to a speaker who was gifted with 60 fertile an lmogi* ... cation. He is a natural orator ; and added to this - he possesses, in a wonderfal degree, the power of reaching the hearts of his audience, and of making v them feel the force of his remarks. He can melt an audience to tears or convulse them with laugh ter the same moment. His powers of imitation and mimicry are extraordinary. He never wea* nes his audience, and bis discourses, (which are ... generally about two hours in length,) eeem to have occupied but half an hoar in the delivery We are really rejoiced to find that Mr, Gough s ia doing much good in Pittsburgh. Through his effortß about three thousand have signed the Pledge. Amongst these are many young men who had been habitual drinkers They have “ thrown the bowl aside/’and have resolved hence* forth to be soldiers in the great Temperance army.; We earnestly hope that they will have the moral courage to live up to their resolution Their friends should encourage them as much as .possible, so that they will not depart from the • good cause they have espoused. An effort is being made, we understand, to induce the Whig Editors of this City to sign the pledge dnnng the stay of Mr. Gouon. We do hope that it will be successful. We have learned that Mr. Biddu, of the Journal, placed his name . .'.an: Mr. Gouon’s book; but then again tve have. . heard it contradicted. How is this"? Mr. Bibdle of the Jbnmcan, we are told, baa in bis cellar - a very large stock of choice old whiskey, which . he. tastes occasionally, to see that it don't spoil. Come, Biddle, sign the pledge I Our venerable friends of the ".Old Gazette" should ceaee dabbling in “Dabney” wine, and show a good example for their political brethren on Third street. There is Tortro of the Transcript, who looks like a teeto. taler, but we wouldn t trust him if temptation was placed in his way. He had better sign the pledge, also. As for the Editors of the neutral pie»3, Binn and Dnsir of tne Chronidt, and Fob* teh of the Dapatch, we believe they never cause their friends to blush on account of their irregular : conduct. They may occasionally “take a drop" at median*, that’s all I We presume the Editors of the religious newspapers are all temperance men—at least we have never heard any thing of a contrary character imputed to them; although we most aay that they sometimes are a little intern* perate in their use of language when engaged in . controversies with each other. As for ourself, we pretend not to be perfect by any means; but tor mm to be “ temperate In all things,” in eating, drinking, sleeping, writing and talking. If we do wrong at any time, or deviate from the path of rectitude, we shall esteem it as a great favor if any of our friends .will advise us thereof, and “ point ont the way we sbonld go ” .

Upon enquiring the cause oi this, we learn that it bas been on account of the enormoua tolls charged for transmitting mes sages over tho line*«~making it impossible for the public generally to avail themselves of this kind of communication. Every argument that can bo offered in favor of. cheap postage, may bo adduced in favor of cheap telegraphing. It would certainly bo more profitablo to tbo Company to send 100 messages at 15 conta each, than 10 messages at 60 cents each.

Mr. San derson having concluded his speech, Mr. Muhlen- berg opened in reply, and occupied something more than an hour, in which he saidthat he;did| not design to make a tariff 1 speech, but merely to I reply to the gentleman from Bradford,—that he I should lay it down as an axiom in bis argument that there was a great deal of distress m Penn-I sylvanm, in many of her great interests, and that | it was. the duty of all Pennsylvanians to look im-1 mediately to the remedy for. those evils, and sen-1 deavor, as Democrats, to remove them—that 'the I question of the tariff ought to be taken entirely I from the arena of politics, and made a practical I question without regard to party—that there was I no longer any question of principle in it—that I there had been a great struggle between the Whigs I and Democrats in regard to the propriety of Pro- I tection for Protection’s sake, and that it had long 1 ago been decided in favor of the- position of the I Democratic, party, against the principle of the I Whigs—Protection for the sake of Protection; — I that he thought none, or few at least, of any pars 1 ty, at this day, contended for protection of that nature, or for that purpose; certainly no Demo crat. But he claimed that, now each section of I the country was left to contend separately for their own interests, and in the laying of dunes for revenue, ought to secure such incidental pro tection as would give adequate support to our great I manufacturing interests that were brought mto i competition with thr same intereats in Europe. He delcnded the proposition of Mr. Strong in Congress, and repelled the assault which be al leged-Mr. Sanderson, the gentleman from Brad ford, had mado on his democracy, as well as that of himself. Mr. Muhlenberg was very severe, yet very gentlemanly, in some comments upon a let ter from Harrisburg, published io a paper con ducted by Mr. Sanderson in Bradford county.— Mr. Sanderson, however, disclaimed being the author of the letter, and staled that his attention had been for the first time drawn to it by the gen tleman from Berks (Mr. Mablenberg,) in his speech Mr. Muhlenberg thought that some modification i of the Tariff of 1846 could yet be made during tbe present teuton of Congress ; and that he never would submit to any course of proceeding, under the name of principle, that would enable the South to sell a large amount of Cotton because tbe North would buy a large amount of the manufactured products of England—tbat be would always hold himself ready to defend America against the arms and against the selfish policy of that country, and consider bimteir as well and folly justified in the one oa in the other. Mr. Muhlenburg then advocated the resolutiona I offered by him, in the Senate, and claimed tbat I the principle contained m them was the ad vahrcm I principle, and that the method of fixing the prices I in certain cases, viz: by taking an average puce in ten years, was perfectly just, inasmuch as it would avoid tho imposition and inequality of pri ces produced by forced markets and sheriff sates. He held that the ad valorem principle was right in I cases where the Value of articles varied, ns in yards of doth, Ac., some being worth one dollar and soma seven, eight or ten dollars per yard ; but that m cases where tbe intrinsic value of the arti cle did not vary, as in the case of tone of pig iron, which are always of tbe same value, he thought there was no wrong in departing from that principle. Mr. Mahtenburg then denied the charge of Mr, Sanderson, that the Democracy of Pennsylvania was retrograde on this subject, and claimed that tbe old Democratic doctrine was still adhered to in Pennsylvania, and tbat many of tha doctrines claimed as Democratic at the present day were nothing bnt Agrarianism and Socialism. He claimed tbat England bad always pursued the protective policy till she had become rich— tbe richest nation in the world, and then she could afford to throw down the ladder upon which she had gained her elevation, and preach free trade, because it had now become her interest to do so All and all, Mr. Muhlenburg made an earnest, an affecting and b powerful speech in favor of his position!.

The two latter are stationed but a few minutes’ walk from Ibis. . As to Meagher, wo wool twenty-five miles to see bun, to tho lakes, the trysting-place, whore the throe districts meet; but, after all, were disappointed. It seems hard of tho government to confine each to one district after thoy had given their parole not to escapo. Howev er, they do not adhere strictly to the wiehos of the government. Soon after our excursion to tho lakes Meagher viiiied Bothwell, with his friends Mitcbcl and Mar tin, We than made his acquaintance. He hag been getting a fino boat built, to beguile his time on tho lakes, and he is about building a hermitage on ono oftho islands, where bo purposes residing. Ho ask ed Miss——, s friend of mine, to go up and christen his boat, which is to be called Sporaoza, in compli ment to tbe fair poetess; but as we ell agroed that the weather is too cold for ladies to travel, we defer red the christening till spring. Smith O'Brien, who, you know, refused his parole, is confined to Marls Island, but is now allowed more liberty-than at first, having a horse to ride abont the island, which is a beautiful one. Mltcbel’s coumoiiance is very fine, has great va riety of expression; ho has the stamp of a leader. His health is much improved by tho climate. Martin is a great favorito with us all—,ho is en kind, frank, humble, and honest—his health is also good, They are on most friendly terms with all the neighborhood. Three days never pass that we don’t bcb some ofthem. A few days since wo had a great langh at them: they got tired of their lodgings, (any thing but comfortable) took a collage, and kept house three dayß exactly.

A subsequent letter contradicts tbe report of Mr. O’Brien’s attempted escape, for which, the writer says, there is not the least ground. »M” *;&,Vv - . s * * * Office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany.

Forges in ”fl manner entirely satisfactory to the Board, and will not,in their esti mation, suffer by contrast with any oilier railroad in the country, Between that point and the Altona, where the work upon the light sections was delayed some four months forwant of means, its condition, is by no means satisfactory; measures,will be taken in the conrse of the ensuing'season..to:have this portion of the work and . the HoHidsysbarg branch brought up to the high standard, which a proper re i gard for the public opinion and the interest of; the Stockholders has prescribed. >' Upon the Western division the work thus far has been well done, and has been executed as rapidly, except in a few sections, as was deemed consistent with durability. The unhappy , feuds among the laborers, resulting, in some cases; in Jobs of life, have been a source of delay and inconvenience ; but it is believed that a rccurroDce of the discredit table scenes will be prevented by the admirable police arrangements made, under the sanction ol the Board, by Edward Miller, Esqv, the associate EogineeriQ charge of that lf, howeyer, this expectation should not bo realized, a firm local judiciary and a reliable military force arc ready to assert the supremacy of the law promptly and effectively. The Board have contracted, upon favorable terms, for a sufficient quantity of iron for the~aapen»tfac% tore-of the Western Division.' While an honest State pride is gratified in adverting, to» the fact that: the road isthns far constructed exclusively of Penn sylvania material, the Board have no hesitation in expressing their full conviction that the difference in price will be more than counterbalanced by the superiority of our rails over the best of those.re cently imported for other roads. The contractors, as an evidence of their own confidence, bind therav selves to replace, without charge, all rails which shall give way within five years, from an original defect. The Eastern Division of the road was opened for , use to the Portage intersection, one tnile west of HoHidayoburg, on the 17th. of Sept, last, too hip to secure to the Company the full benefit of tho faU, trade and travel, and the Portage Railroad was closed for repairs, bjr order of the Canal Commis sioners, on 4he 7th ofDccoraber. During tbe months of October, November nod De cember, the netl receipts for passengers aod frolght were 642,084 84; equal to an annual interest: of $3,821 00 per cent, upon the cost of this division, iuclnding the Hollidaysburg branch, with the inter* est thereon chargeable to construction, and of all tbe cars, locomotives, pjachTncry add fixtures in ose. This result induces :the Board to believe that the road will, during the current year, earn ait per cent, upon the cost of whatever ponton of it may be brought into operation,aq&ihalH will henceforward yield an equal orlsrgerper centage npon tho whole outlay, productive and unproductive, after, making proper provision for depreciation, by the creation of aa smple contingent and renewal fund. The local tr3dn and travelincreaso so steadily-as to leave little room for doubt that ibey will, la a few years, be adequate to the support of the road and the payment of the interest upon its cost. Even now tbe receipts at stations which bad no name when tho road wot located, exceed those at some ot: the largest towns on the Juniata. V, A branch road is in course of construction to Blairs ▼Me, with means provided for that purpose by 4he citizent of that borough, and its extension by local efforts toihefpwo’of tadhsca, or the substitution of a plank road, will depend upon the results of the surveys now In progress. Tho plank roads from'. Bedford to Hollidaysburg, and from ,Somerset to Johostowo, with Dumberlcsv kindred improvements under construction orin contemplation, will aid in swelling the receipts of the mother work, to which they owe their existence, and in developing the dor mant wealth ofPennsyfvania. . All other things being equal, the geographical po sition of Philadelphia will secure to her n virtual monopoly of the trade of the West against all rival ship. That trade is, however, too tempting a prize to be permitted to; remain to any hands but. those which are as prompt to defend as they are able to hold it. Wo must look the fact in the face that it is lost, in part at least to Philadelphia, if further’dc lay be suffered in tho construction of tho Mbuntain division of the. Pennsylvania Railroads Tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is now under contract throughout its entire length; from Cumber* land westward 5,000 men aria at work upon it. 22,- 000 tons ofrails have been imported for it,and the eoergy and sagacity which maTk its management permit no doubt that it will be prosecuted with the utmost vigor till it reachestheObio river. The Erie Railroad, hithertodriven forward, with very little re gard to cost, must be completed to Bake Erie in May next, in compliance with thecondition upon which $3,000,000' of State, and's76o,ooo of private stock were relinquished to the present stockholders. To compete with these unbroken lines from iiho seaboard to the western waters, managed, as they will be by the ablest merchants of our sister cities, Philadelphia will have the eastern and vycsterndii* visions of the PenhajlvanUr road: connected by a link of 36 miles, embracing ten inclined planes, :tbe crossing of which has heretofore generally consumed sufficient time to make the trip*between PhiladeN phia and Pittsburgh, upon a.first clasa Railroad, and the uso of which will entirely cut off! from this com-* pany one of Us largest prospective sources of rev enue, the transporiaifonof Hve ; stock ftbm. points west of the Allegh&pyio the eastern grazing coon* tles\of Pennsylvaum>and to the Philadelphia and New York - . j It is suggested by the Chief Engineer, that the sum of $1,500,000 wit! suffice to build a road from AN tona to the head ofplonc No. 2, by which the wdrst portions of the Allegheny portagfcroad wouldlbe avoided, and. tho time-ooasutritm> in crossing the mountains materially vedaced. r : - V ‘ .Asa last alternative, this proposition might lie adopted, but whil&the proposed connection, would* bo, in many points of view, a decided improvement over the one now in use, it would fall very far short of accomplishing th&primary purpose lor which this undertaking was projected, of enduring tp the Cara* moau’caUK ond its-two great: cities Ure benefits Sc* cruicg from'the dfthe tride and travel of the west, by iQrnitJyng aroaieiwMch should- in rail respects compare favorably with ;tbe beat of ita -ri vals. That object can never be attained; while any link, however small, shall rdmaln tinder the ever varying management incident to theinpessant .chan ges of state and local politics..: - : • With a view to procure :thatresult at the eatiiest possible day, and to>prqraote,aUheaame time, what they conceive to be the true ihterests.of the present Stockholders, tho Board earnestly recommend that immediate provision be mode for putting the .moun tain division under contract at as earlya period of the ensuing Springhs the character of the ground will permit. To build this portion of the road, and partially equip the Whole, will reqairu tlte fillingmp of the capital stock of tbe company, to thelimit fixed by tho recent action of the Stockholders, under the authority conferred 1 in the charter. The" araobni subscribed to thia daie'ls 516,835i860, which;yvi Jl. bo iocreased more than-,5100,000 by the issue of stock, deliverable upon tho completion of a portion, of the contracts upon the Western division j- loaving to be supplied a sum slightly exceeding Three Millions of Dollars. } .lit asking at this time for this large addilionalsub . scription, the Board-are aware that they- are driv ing freely upon resources already heavily taxed; J>ut they do not, on thai account, ‘hesitate to make the appeal. Tbey make-it ih the confident belief that tbeaum they ask will, through the ioßtrumenisfitjr of this road; be retarded ten-fold to? Philadelphia and her citizens before the present generation abaJi hpye passed away, and that their demand will elicit a! ijee-i ponse worthy alike iof tho 'source from which it! is to emanate, and of* the object to which it. is. to] be: applied. , yr-'.i . -•/ r \ If we could forgct what is due to ourselves; weare' not at liberty to overlook our obligations to others' who have united their fortunes with ours in a com;; mon destiny, and Taithfuliy fnlblledtheir part of the implied contract.

At the close ol a long and interesting letter from Paris to the Courier dea Etats Uois, written by fts former editor, Mr* GalUardet, are the following opin* ions in relorcncc to tho French Presideot : A majority, of the people are eyldeniry on-the side of Louis Napoleon in the present crisis, because they. have.faith in .his loyalty; and believe that he takes no pleasuro in idlequarrels* ; The President, of the Republic is not depondcni on the Assembly, except when.he asks for a donation contrary to the simplicity of republican government; or aspires to.uutbority which is prohibited by ihe ConstUu* lion. •. a .. On-Iho day in .which he renounces. useless luxury ’, and uncoostQtioual hopes, he will recover in libera ty, popularity; and dignity, whathe loses in pomp and ephemeral authority. In the duel in which ho is engaged with the Assembly, the victory will be on the side of the one who shall remain on just' grounds - It may be said this is a rmrow ground, and that the Constitution has surrounded 'it with roofs and’ quicksands, which is true. But just as no tool is good for a sorry workman, so there is no too) so bad that a good workman cannot make use of it.* InSti tuUons.tdp often take theplace of men in the prison* er’s bench of human affairs. .dßsTßctnripnsiNTUs Misstssiper.—The Louisville Journal estimates the spigs between Cairo and New Orleans to amount to at least 600. The number of steamboats passing daily by the river is stated at fif teen or twenty, and the value of their cargoes and hulls aa avenging $40,000 each, making an aggre gate of 8600,OQOjtb $300,000.
