A'TB&Y lEI PORT AST ACT.
vJITe are indebud to our. fellow-citizen, A. W,
.Looai*, Esq., for the following Act, amendatory
to the Act to incorporate the Cleveland and Pitts
-.burgh.Rnilroad,.passed by the Legislature of Ohio
-on the 19th of February, The Act ,was forwarded
‘ to Mr. L. by Cmcs: PnasTiae, Esq., President of
* the Company. It is a very important-Act, and
as such we thinks its publication in full will be
satisfactory to our citizens generally.
Sec. 1. authorizes the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad to run a branch from Hudson to Woos*.
ter, Cuyahoga Falls and Akron.
Sec. 5. makes provisions for the organization
of said Akron branch Railroad.
• ' Sec. 3. authorizes the Cleveland and Pittsburgh
Railroad Company to construct another branch to
i connect with the Central Ohio Railroad (from
Wheeling West) No route is pointed out by the
■Act for this 1 latter branch Railroad; bntundoubt
• edly the Ohio River Valley, from Wellsville
■ ’ through Steubenville to Wheeling, will be adopt'
■ ed; as any other route would be totally impracti
cable, owing to the direction the streams run
which empty into the Ohio. .
The importance of this Act must strike every
. citizen of Pittsburgh at a glance.. We believe
thft'Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad Company
: have' the power to run a branch to Wellsville.—
■The Act published below gives the Cleveland and
s.Pittsburgh Company authority to extend a branch
through Steubenville to Wheeling. Thus weshall
/hnve a continuous River Railroad from Pittsburgh
vto Wheeling, a distance of about 95 miles by
water. By this River Railroad Pittsburgh will be
connected with the Steubenville end Indiana Rail
road, a work which will, we underatand, be put
under contract m the course of the ensuing sum'
■ ■ mer. ...»
’ -We may here add, that the citizens of Marietta
held a large and enthusiastic meeting on the 24th
nit,'and adopted a series of strong resolutions,
urging the Legislature of Ohio to extend the Cin
cinnati and Belpre Railroad to Marietta. If this
it done, there will be a link of 95 miles to sup
ply, 1 from Marietta to Wheeling, to make a cone
tinuous River Railroad from Pittsburgh to Cin
cinnati. ■■■■:' -

AN INTERESTING LETTER.

Suet spout, 20th February, 185
Dear Sir —l see something is being said in the
newspapers about a Pittsburgh end 01ean,or some
such Railroad. If there is really any such inten
tion, permit me to communicate to you a fe
brief observations
Olean io the nearest accessible point of the N.
& E. Railroad to the Pennsylvania State line, be
ing but 10 tmlqj distant from the line.
The most direct and feasible line would be
through our county, via Ridgway, the Johnsonburg
branch of Toby's Creek, up past A. J. Wilcox’
mill to the summit between Marvin and Toby,
waters, thence down Marvin Creek to Smetbport,
and on to Olean via Nunundale Creek and Alle
gheny River. The maps show this to be the most
direct route, the nearest, and, as I am told, equally
feasible with any other, the summit being capable
of a low grade on either side, and the two streams
beading in a swamp.
Some of the inducements at- this end„of the
route would be the following:
We have inexhaustible coal beds on or within
a few miles ot this route, and but 36 miles from
Olean. A total destitution of coal north of us,
and a great demand for it; as proof, there were
510 tons carried off by sleighing in one month
this winter, all going north.
Iron, nails, glass, lead, paints, linseed oil, pork
and flour could be obtained cheaper by this north
ern section from Pittsburgh, than from New York;
as.alsosugac and molasses. This would form a
large amount of heavy tonnago freight.
Asa line for passenger‘travel, a more direct
and expeditions route could not be hud from the
east or New York to the Western States border
ing on the Ohio and Mississippi livers, coming
via N. & E. Railroad to Olean, thence by the pro
posed routs to Pittsburgh, then going by steamer
to the point of destination.
A large amount of up river travel would take
t'ms route, including all engaged in lumbering, on
their return home.
I have no doubt that a Railroad from Olean to
our coal beds alone would be good stock.
Any thing I can do to further the project is at
the service of its friends
Very respectfully OJ, HAMLIN.

sive against hof. At the conclusion of ihe first enso
she interrupted the court by saying that she woald
“tell de whole truth,” and induced the supposition
that she intended pleading guilty, as should hnvo
been done at first. Her counsel, however, had a

to go-on. Tho indictments pending are numerous
enough to keep her confined for lifo, if convicted

The McDonogh Beggest— Decision of Judge Bit*
dianan.—Tho N. Orleans papers received last night
bring us a full copy or the decision of Judge Bu
chanan in iho suit brought by the State of Louisiana
against the executors of tho McDonogh bequest.—
The court, as wo announced by telegraph, has do-,
Sided tho case in favor of the defendants. Theopin
ton of Judge Buchanan is vory able and elaborate.
j The following is the decree of the court:
« Being of opinion, for tho masons above given,
that the devise of John McDonogh to the mayor,
aldermen,andinhabitantsorN.Orleane.ofthe undi
vided half of his estate, Bubject to the payment of cer-
I tain legacies and annuities, is good in law, and that
said devise and bequest have not lapsed ; that con-
I sequentiy the Stato of Louisiana is not entitled to
take, under the will of John McDonogh. the half of
I his estate, in the place and stead of the said mayor,
I aldermen, and inhabitants of New Orleans—
I « Judgment is, therefore, rendered for ihe defend-
I ants, with costs.” '•
The Slave Teape is Hataha.—Tho slave trade
js still extensively practised in Cnba, notwithstand
ing the treaties of Spain with o'.he; nations to pre
vent and BuppreßS it. A letter from Havana to tho
New York Tribune dated Feb. 15lh, says :
At the close of the past week east of Carcenaa, a
landing was effected of 6JO Africans, who were dis
posed of, save are advised, at the rato of. thirty
I ounces each, making the roond eom of 18,300j0z.,
or $311,160 in onr currency. The price is vory
high, even for the season, when there is a demand
for field purposes for ail the force that can bo had,
I or.more—yet there is no doubt hut that an unusual-
I ly large sum has been realized by tho speculators in
this act of piracy.
1 It is said that tho Governor of Cuba winks at this
I unnatural traffic, deriving considerable profit from
I the trade. '
The City op Philadelphia.—lt is often a mat
ter orinquiry and discussion how large the city prop
er is. The distance from the Delaware river to the
Schuylkill is set down at two miles, and from Vine
street to Cedar at one mile. These are Hie bounds
of what is known as the incorporated city of Phila
delphia, though bora small part of the octnal space
thickly covered with buildings. It has been doubt
ed whether it is two full miles between the two riv
ers, hut actual measurement shows that the distance
is 12,448 feet, two miles and almost a sixth over.—
The distance from north to south is 5371 Teet, or 91
i feet over a mile. Tho aggregate distance or squares
from Broad street to the river Schuylkill is 5317, and
thence east to the Delaware 6530, the width of the
I streets make up the difierence. The length of the
I squares running east and west from Third street to
Schuylkill Sixth, are each 396 feet long. North aod.
I south the squares vary ia size, hot they average 414
I Teet from one main street to another. This informa-
I tion will settle some mooted points, which have fre-
I quently occasioned much dispute. — Phil. Ledger.
Fooitive Slave Case nr Pottstille. —The first
manifestation of excitement on this subject in Polte
vllle, occurred on Wednesday of last weeh, among
the colored portion ofthe population, on tho appear
ance of two officers from Baltimore, in search of an
alleged fugitive slave, the wife of a man named
Brown. She eluded pursuit, however, aod escaped
to Port Carbon. On Thursday morning the officers
followed, when a nurabor of colored men collected
in ned around the house to which she had been con
voyed, and prevented tho officers from entering.
She afterwards effected her escape in company with
several other colored persons. The matter elicited
very lilile excitement, and few while persons have
cared to trooble themselves about it.
Visit to jEirtrv Lind. —The- New Orieaos Della
contains an account of tho visit of Governor Walker
and Mayor Crosaman to Miss Lind, Tho Governor
addressed her in French, introducing the Bateman
children, who are well known in this city, to whom
Miss Lind gave a' few words of excellent advico, ad
vising them To preserve the natural modesty 4nd
simplicity of their characters, as more valuablo than
oven talents and genius. She expressed herself
highly delighled with New Orleans, and remarked
that the people in some respects reminded her of
home. She also referred to her delight and joy on
receiving news of the safety of the Atlantic, which
steamer was especially endeared to her by pleasing
associations.
Siiveb Coin.—The Philadelphia ledger of yester-
day says:
The trade in silver coin is much less active than
it has been, and the premium paid for it in gold near
ly one per cent, less than a fortnight ago. Three
and n half per cent, has been freely paid for new
American halves—now, two and a quarter aud two
and a half are about current rales. The article is
becoming doily much more current in our small re
tail trade, and now passes comparatively free from
hand to hand. Old aod worn American halvea and
quarters command not more than one per cent. [3e»
mioro, n priefia hardly worth the trouble of saving
them up for sale.”
Petitions are being circolatcd in this county,
for signatures, says the bPKean Orbit, praying the
Legislature to pass an Act of Incorporation to make
a Rsilroad from the State lino, via the Clarion river
to Pittsburg. The people of Clarion are working
zealously for this improvement, whichq when com

The best joke we have heard connected with the
Rail Road celebration here, waa as follows : It was
understood that Dr. Arum, paetor of the Ist Presby
terian Church, was to preach a sermob on Rail
Roada'on Sunday morning, the day aller the 22d. Of
course', there woe a rush to hear the diatinguished
Divino on so singular p- subject, and among the
crowd was Col. Sahi./Medabv, editor of the Ohio
Statesman . It was cahsidcrod a pretty good joke to
get “ Sam” into sucji-a crowd, and he no doubt felt
as strangely in such a place as the Re*. Parson
.would in a political mooting. But ho stood it like
a Major, in fact, got very .much interested in tho
discourse, and whon tho organ struck up a prelude,
he beat timo with his boot as well as the best of
them. Oncoming out of,tho church ho was intro
duced to the Dr,, and observed to him, that he was
highly delighted with his able and eloquent dis
course; “but,” aaid Sam,“l do not like your church
discipline.” “Ah, ha,” says tho Reverend; “ why
not T” “ Because,”, said'he, 11 1 tell as though I
would like to have been in a Methodist mooting,
where I could shout /” There wore visible evi
dences of a slight relaxation in the visage or Presby
terian gravity thereabouts.- Cleveland Plaindealer .
pgr- Glass Pearls, though among tho most beauti
ful, inexpensive and common ornaments for women
now made, are produced by a very singular pro-
“ In 1656, about two hundred years ago, a Veni
tian, named Jaquln, discovered that the scales of a
species of fish called bleak fish, possessed tho prop
erty of communicating a pearly hue to water. He
found, by experiment, that beads, dipped in this wa
ter assumed, when dried, tho appearance ol poarls.
It proved, however, that the pearly coating, when
placed outside, was easily rubbed off, and the next
improvement was to make the beads hollow. The
making of these beads is carried on even to this day
in Venice.- The beads are all blown separately.
By means ot a small thbe tho insides are delicately
coated with the pearly liquid, and a wax coating is
placed over that. It requires the scales of Tour
thousand fishes to produce a half pint of the liquid,
to which small quantities of sal ammonia and isin
glass are afterwards added.”
'An Houesi OniTUABV. —A western paper, announ
cing tho death or a resident of the county, says:
“ He camo to his death by too frequently nibbling
at the essence of the still-worm, which soon placed
him in a non-traveling condition. He lay' out the
night previous to bis death near a cotton gin in tbiß
place, and was found too late on the following morn
ing for medical aid to be ol much importance in stays
ing hia breath. He has been a regular tippler lor
the last half century.” - o.

From the Evening Post..
New York Dry Goods filarketf Fcb« 38.
The early opening of river navigation is inducing
some additional inquiry id the trade-in greater num
ber of .business men from the country hae,appeared,
who are making arrangements for up river freight
for the scasoD. - Yet the amount of business trans
acted, is limited. The great decline in the cotton
market, with a greater one in prospective, damps tne
demand for cotton goods; which arc purchased only
in small quantities, and for immediate wants, and
were it not for the small stock on hand, prices
would decline—at present prices are steady.
Woollen goods, on the the contrary, are firm,as
well from the moderate amount of slock as from the
high and yet rising price of wool, especially of low
wools.' A prospective advance in woollon goods is
inevitable. The spring demand, is now at hand ;
and as the early trade of the season has measures*
bly disappointed traders, they anticipate more from
the latter; though in this their expectations may,
in a degree, fall from the circumstances of the mar
ket. Importations are light, and present no great
tncrcaao on those of last-year.
, Bleached and unbleached shirtings and sheetings
are in moderate demand, and, without largo trans
actions, there is no chango in prices. For sales ol
anv amount the market favors buyers.
Drills arc firm, with a light stock and fair inquiry
for Canton and home markets.
Osnaburgaare in small supply, and prices are
steady with a fair domand, which.is mostly satisfied
from foreign goods, owing to the scarcity of do»
rocstics.
Denims ore dull, and prices a shade easier.—
Stripes are light in stock, but steady in demand.—
Ticks are firm but not active. ,
Printing cloths arc inactive, and prices a shade
easier here and in Providence* Btocksareincreasiog,
which favors the buyers. ' Prints are dull* The
market is heavy and stock is accumulating. Lawns
are but in slight request, but prices are firm ..Cot*
ton pantaloonry is in very limited .demand, and
/prices scarcely- so firm. Mouselinea do laino are in
-good request; both home and foreign made, and
prices steady. Domestic ginghams are more active
but without briskness, at good prices. Foreign
ginghams arc.dull, with a lessening demand. The
progress of the domestic manufacture is driving out
of consumption the foreign article. Lmscys are
dull and depressed.
Cloths arc moderate in stock and in demand, at
firm prices. For descriptions under $2, there is a
good demand. Sheeps* greys are scarce and in
good request at buoyant prices. Satinets are steady
in prices, with a raoderato demand, and an increase
in stock of the lower grades.
Both fancy and plain styles of cassimeres arc in
fair request at good prices, though less active than
a few weeks ago. Flannels are firm but quiet.—
Jeans are moro active at firm prices. Tweeds are
in moderate request, though mostly for the better
qualities, which are steady in price. Most. British
goods are active at steady, but not at buoyant prices, j
Holders are very firm, and do not press the market.
The sales at; auction arc all stale and. undesirable
goods. ‘
French goods are not very active. The iate ar*
rivals were mostly to special order, and do not op
pear on the market. Silks are in steady, but mod**
erato request, at firm prices; the stock, both of
plain and fancy styles, is very reduced. Ribbons
are scarco for fashionable styles. Cloths are not
active, but are steady and firm.
The United States in England,
At a late dinner at Stockport, Mr. Cbbden, whilo
Diking a speech, observed :
(l X someiitneB quote the United States of Ameri
ca, and I think, in this matter, they Bet us a very
good example. Does any body dare to attack that
nation f Tbore ia not a more formidable power, in
every - sense of the word, although you may talk of
France and Russia, than the United States of Ameri
ca, and there ib not a statesman with a head on his
shoolders who does not know it; and yet the policy
of the United States has becn.to keep a very email
amount of armed force ia existence. At the pres-,
ent moment, they have not a lino»of*battle chip
afloat, notwithstanding the vast extension of their
commercial marine. Last year she recalled her font
ship of war from the Pacific, and I shall be very
much astonished if you cvereee anothor. The peo%
pie arc well employed, and her taxation is light,
which countries cannot have if they burden them
selves with the expenses of theso enormous arma
ments. (Hear, bear.) Nov/, many people appeal
to the English nation nndor the impression that they
arc a very pugoaciouapeopie. (Heir, hear,) lam
not quite eare that we cro not. lam not quite sure
that my opponents do not sometimes htvo the ad
vantage over me in appealing to the ready.primcd
pugnacity of our followKCOuntrymen. X-believe I
am pugnacious myself 5 but, what.l want is, to per:
academy countrymen to preserve their pugnacious
ness until somebody comes to .attack them. Be as
sured,!!'you want to be prepared for future war,
you will he belter prepared in the way that the
United States is prepared—by the enormous number
of merchant ships of large tonnage constantly build
ing—in the vast number of'steamers turning oat of
the bnihling-yards at New York—those cnormoos
steamers, finer than any to be found in the royal
navies of any country on the continent of Europe,
commonly extending from 1,500 to 1,600 tons. If
the spirit of America were onco aroused, and her
resentment excited, by her mercantile marine alone,
the growth of commerce, the rosalt of a low taxa
tion, and a prosperous people—her mercantile
marine alone would bo more than a match for any
war navy that exists on the continent of Europe.
(Cheers).”
Improvement in Panning*
When shall we see improvement in farming?
Wo do not entirely despair, when we look over
our country and see a great improvement in some
individual farming. In our region of country,
these kind of farmers ate pretty scarce, but where
they are, we find that they realize two fold in
quantity and quality of grain, and have a great
deal more pleasure and satisfaction while they are
at it. But, asks the farmer, “What are the im
provements desired?” We, in answer, will name
a few. First, see what kind of soil you have and.
what kind of manure is best adapted to it. You
will have to exercise a sound judgment, connected
with experience, to determine this, as some kinds
of manure will not do for some kinds of soiL If
grain be your dependence, see wbat kind of grain
best suits your land. See if draining is necessary;
here let me say, that draining is oftentimes more
necessary than farmers suppose. If needed, do it
with as little delay as possible. pot it off
until you have more time; for it is getting worse
every year, and you are incurring more and more
labor on it. Ab the land gets worse, it is harder
to till, and you receive less profit; if you were to
spend only a few days, perhaps, in draining, your
labor woald grow less, and without doubt your
crop would be increased from one quarter to one
hall. Select your manure judiciously, and apply
it to the crops that need the variety. Would not
this add much to your crops? Who does not
know that to opply fresh manure to wheat will
often ruin it; when, if it had been preceded by a
crop of corn, or roots, it would have been of great
value, and have been enough for the wheat.
Keep your land thoroughly subdivided, and let
not the weeds grow. . It.costs no more to raise
corn than weeds, and'which is of the most value ?
This mastering weeds is a great improvement in
farming, and one that will well pay the farmer for
his trouble. Try it. Try manuring. Try drain
ing. Try weeding. Combine the three, and a
dozen other improvements that you think of, and
you will get pay. But, says one, “Ifwe do all
this, we cannot attend our thirty acres of corn to
the hand.” Well, can’t you see that fifteen hun»
dred bushels of corn off of twenty acres is os
good as the same off of thirty acres? We hope
the day may come when, farmers will attend more
to the improvements of tLeir lands,in the placed
trying how many acres of grain they can manage
■ to the hand. When we see the above rules ad*
i hered to, with many others, then shall we find an
. answer to the question that commenced our arti*

A Child S*ved ! Curious Case.— The following evi
dence is only one of thousands-of rimila:f t character,
and conclusively proves that Dr. Howe’e Sarsaparilla is
one of the most effective remedies-ever discovered:—
Dr. Horns.*—Dear Sir. —My son, -when about six
months old, broke out with that dreadful disease, Serofu
lowtSores, over the face and.body; and for two years I
andahall I tried every means ’hat could be suggested
by my friends. I also had the advice of six or.seven of
the best physicians in the country, without effecting a
cure, and I almost wished the little suflerer dead, that it
might be freed from its pains. Daring the last -six
months, the sores were so distressing and painful, my
self and wife wereWwith it night and day, for weeks
together, and use had given up all hope of ever raising
our little oue; At length, a friend advised as to try your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly I tried it,'and I have
. reason to bless God for it, foiyiu averyshorilimejit heap
edup the sores, so that there is scarcely even a sear to
be seen. We only regret that we did not hear of and
commence using it sooner, as we are satisfied, it. would
have saved a gTeat deal of suffering and expense; - The
child is now well .aiid ; hearty. We do unnesitatingly
consider your Shaker Sarsaparilla one of the best pre*
parations now in use. JOHN STANSBURY,
Rose, between Frontand Second sts. •
This.is she only Sarsaparilla that acts in the Liver, Kid •

er morevaiuablt to every one, particularly Females.

the Shakerpreparations atelruly valuable, and recommends
