Hart, formerly Pi cm* de&t of the Allegheny County Agricultural Society, who has recently returned from California. He looks remarkably well, and states that he enjoyed exccl lent health during his absence; in fact, much better than during bis residence m this county. We are happy to learn that Capt. H. has been successful in tho object of his visit to the <c land of Ophir,” hav ing accumulated some $25,000 during his absence. He gives a glowing account of California, and op* pears to be better satisfied with the countrv than most of those who have returned. Ho brings home a great many specimens of lump gold, dust and quarts. One lump which he exhibited to ua weighs 5 oz., and la worth about $lOO. It was dug out by the Captain on Customs, or “Mormon Island,” on the South Fork of American river, aboni2s miles from Sacramento City. . Capt. Hajbt informs us that he has discovered a sew method of separating the particles of gold from the quarts rock, for which be has applied Tor a pa tent eincehis return. From what ho has told us, hia discovery will supersede machinery and all other methods of obtaining gold from the rock- Capt. H. brings but little news in addition to what we have already given to our readers. Ho states that Col..

Harpkh : Although I cannot but admire the enthusiasm you display in advocating every . measure calculated to advance the interests of the ■ people of Pittsburgh, yet lam of the opinion that you are wrong m regard to the proper location ol • the new Custom House. I think, sir, that grounds should be selected for the building on or near ; :Water street, to the vicinity of the steamboat landing, as nearly all business of the Custom House will come from that portion of the city. A Reader. - : correspondent certainly has notread the Act of Congress, roaktng provisions tor the erection of the Custom House iu this City. The words of the Act are;For purchasing a site and commencing the erection of a suitable building in , the City of Pittsburgh, Pa., for Custom House. Pobt Opvrci, Court-roomSy and other offices of the United Stater, the sum of ceventy»five thousand dollars. 31 Here our correspondent will observe that the Act provides tor the erection of a build xng for a Post Orrxcs as well as a Custom House. As a Post Office is more importunt to the great mass of oar citizens than any other public build* mg, it should be as near the cbstre of bustness and population as possible. The location sug» gested by os in yesterday’s paper, on the corner of Fifth and Southfield streets, is unquestionably the best in the City. It combines more advante, get than any other site that has been spoken ot, and moreover, there cannot be a single good argu ment urged against it . Fifth m the widest cross street in the city, and it leads directly into Wylie - street, Pennsylvania and Central Avenues, and all the principal streets leading through the new -v- Wards. Southfield street is also wide, and runs from the Monongahela Wire Suspension Bridge the only bridge over the Monongahela river,) to the heart of the business portion of Liberty street, in the vicinity of the Canal. If the lot we have designated is purchased, the building could be so < constructed as to allow the Stages, with the U. S. Mails, to be driven around it, which would greatly . facilitate the operations of the government. P. S. Since the above was written we have learned that the Secretory of the Treasnry has ap pointed Messrs. A. Wv, Loomis, T. M. Hows and • <M- Hahftov, a committee, to select a location - . for the Custom House. We have entire confidence* m these gentlemen, and believe they will make such a selection as will render genera! satisfaction. In the House, on the 4th mat., Mr. Firms present -ed a petition for a poor house in Allegheny county , also, for a law to prohibit the sale of in toxicating liquors in Allegheny county. Mr. Robcbtson, fora law authorizing tho pur chase of a farm for the support and employment of the poor in the county of Allegheny; also, for a system offreo banking. Mr. Bissau, one for a poor house in Allegheny county; nlso, for the repeal of the law authorizing the collection of tolls on the bridge over Saw Mill Run in Allegheny county. Mr. RoßE&Tson;- a petition for incorporating a Plank road from Saw Mill Run to Philhpabnrg; al so, on leave, read in place a bill for the above pur pone. • ' .

Leaving Baltimore at 9 oclock on Saturday morning, we .arrived at the National Capital at about half past 10 o clock, having glided over that barren length of 40 miles in one hour and a half; but no one who has once traveled that route will think this too soon to get rid of the view of such a country. After booking up at the National Hotel, an in vitation was received to convene ourselves at Brown s Hotel, where a fitting and agreeable re» ception was had at the hands of the city aulhon* ties Speeches were made by His Honor the Mayor (Walter Lennox), Hon. John Cessna, Hon. Samuel W. Pearson, Hon. John H. Walker, of the Pennsylvania Senate, and Hon. Judge Thompson, member of Congress from the Erie district, and others, after partaking of a splendid collation given by the city. Among the sentiments given on this occasion were the following, which created infinite humor, being ottered in a playful and hu morous manner: Hon. John H. Walker gave as follows— The Hon. James Thompson —The gentleman who thinks he represents the people of his district This toast having been well soaked in wine, Judge Thompson replied by the following— The Hon. John H. T Talker, of the Penna. Senate —The gentleman who wanted lo represent the Erie district in the National Congress Nearly all present knowing that Mr. Walker was a candidate for Congress against Mr Thomp son, this sentimental Equibbing becameexceedingly laughable, and from its good nature, quite credit able to the authors. Mr. Walker, like Mr. Thomp son, is an able and eloquent man ; and should the Erie district ever be forced into the misfortune lo be represented by a Whig, it is to be hoped that such representation may not fall upon one less accomplished, less honest, or a less clever fellow- After this Battering reception, most of the party repaired to the Capitol, where they spent the re mainder of the day. The River and Harbor bill was under consider ation in the Senate when your reporter dropped in, and stayed till late in the evening, spell hound bv the.appearance and eloquence of great men. Mr. Dawson, from Georgia, was speaking when we went in, and he certainly made a good speech against (he bill. He is not a man of great-talent but is a man of sound judgment, great tact and energy. He has a blue eye, a robust form, stands about six feet above bis boots, and has altogether a good personal appearance. Mr. Borland, of Arkansas, spoke next. He is a comparatively young looking man, of smaller size than Mr. Dawson, and of less ability, though very active and apparently sincere and honest in any course he pursues. He has a light gray eye. light complexion, a head slightly bald, embroidered around, however, higher than the ears, with long light hair. The great Henrv Clay next obtained the floor, and spoke with as much vigor and vivacity as characterized his manner ten years ago. There is eloquence iu every- look and every motion of Clay. and often more in his manner than in Ins words— while with Webster the reverse is always the case Mr. Clay said that he did not bill as perfect, but that he should vote for it-vWal he felt satisfied there was good enough in tl lo enable him to swallow the bad. and that he should take it as a tnun did his wile, "for better or for worse. He said that no human work could be perfect, and that it was folly for Senators to expect such things; that the great compromise measures of the present Congress contained some unwhole some and imperfect provisions, but that all this disappeared entirely in view of the great healing and saving features of those measures, and that he should go for the River and Harbor bill, as he did for-lhose bills, and for the same reason. He said that the great West would cling to the Uuion with an unyielding devotion, but they would not long endure the neglect of Congress towards their great channels of commerce, while large appropnations were annually made to the Atlantic coast Mr. Hamblin, of Maine, then made a short but forcible and pointed speech in favor of the hill He is a small.dark complexioncd man. with black eyes, good proportions, regular and expressive features, and great energy of character *• Gen. Cass next arose and said that inasmuch as there was no nom and confusion" at that time ho had a few words to say upon the subject before the Senate. He had been charged with design ing to conceal his opinions upon that subject, but those opinions were all on record—that he had al ways and uniformly voted and acted in favor of appropriations for the nnprovement of the West ern Rivers. and the harbors of the great Lakes that he amid not conceal his opinions on those mea. sures \f he would, and would not if he could Mr. Clay sat in Mr. Borland’s seat, directly in front of Mr. Cass, during the entire speech of the latter, and emphatically nodded assent to all that distinguished Senator and Statesman said relative to his votes and conduct upon the Western River and Harbor measures in Congress. Gen. Cass said that he would merely state in re gard to the whole matter of “ noise and confu sion,’ which bad been sounded through the coun try in newspapers, &c.. that there never was a word of truth in it. nor any such thing, and en tirely without any foundation—-that he had often been advised by his friends to deny it In writing, but that he had always thought it better to live down a falsehood than to write it down, and had refused to write anything about it. He then said he did decline going to speak at the Chicago Con vention, because he did not think the agitation of the subject advisable at that time, and under cir cumstances then in existence—that he would not aid in it, and that though he acknowledged him self under great obligations to the people of the great North-west, those were the “circumstances which prevented him from being present" He then went on and made a powerful speech, abound ing in a fund of recondite legislative learning, and great political wisdom. Gen. Cass is really und truly the greatest man that has held a seat in the United States Senate during the late Congress, and certainly that has been acknowledged the ablest legislative body in existence, during the time of its continuance, in tho known world. Gen, Foote, of Mississippi, though he made no tegular speech upon tho hill during our stay, cer tamly made a great many irregular ones, and in every irregular manner of which he could avail himself. He acted in violent opposition to the bill, and displayed great tact and management in every move he made. Gen. Foote is a very singular man At a very advanced age be appears young in everything but personal appearance—has an excessive flow of hnmor and mirthful spirit, which would do credit to. the impulsive age of twenty-five years He - wears a seriously injured coat, with brass buttons, and an indescribable hat; which is the only cover ing to which bis sage and patriotic head has been accustomed for many years, though some capil. lary appearances, or the remains of, hair, are still about its lower regions. He is straight, tall, of slender make, and of great activity of tempera ment. His eye is dark and small,-and his fea tures are regular, and expressive of-more excita bility than strength of Character- Several other able Senators engaged in the dis cussion, among whom were Mr.-i Davi- and Mr. Rantoul, or Massachusetts ; Mr. Ewing.' of Ohio; Mr. Downs, of Louisiana; Mr. Dodge, -of Iowa; and Clemens, of Alabama; but in a kind or run ning and desultory manner, and I will not attempt \ , . 'J i.. ENE ■ ...‘v to give you any other description than merely to say that the whole ; scene was one of manifest demonstration on the part of an: ingenious minori ty to control and .defeat a known majority; and the result of their -efforts' has since shown that they were successful. Several squads of the Pennsylvania Legislature, at different times during Saturday, and some on Sunday, visited the Heads of several Departments, and other distinguished personages in the city; but your humble servant, from Serious convictions, went to Church in the Hall of the House of Rep resentatives, where he heard a good sermon,.saw scores of pretty ladies, and noticed, in particular, one or two that wero exceedingly beautiful.. At six o'clock on Monday morning we took the cars on the back track, and arrived in Harris burg at one o'clock P. M-, same day, some few, however, having left Washington at five o’clock P. M., on Saturday, and remained in Baltimore over Sunday. Such were the incidents connected with this ex cursion; which, it is believed, were both profita ble and pleasant to all concerned ; and should I feel like making any general reflections and remarks upon the subject hereafter, I will send you another letter as an Appendix. As ever, faithfully, &c. FRANKLIN. FROM HARRISBURG. f COB BBS So N D ENCE Off TUB Moit» I H n POST.] Consolidation Is the order of ilio day. Nothing else is heard of—nothing else is talked of. Well, it la an important subject, and should claim atten tive consideration. There is a diversity of opinion hero in regard to its.results. Some persons seem lo think that tt will operate well; hut the knowing ones shake their heads, and avow their determi nation to kill it. To-day, to the Senate, Senator Lennoi, from Philadelphia " county, presented an elaborate and admirable report from the so led committee to whom the subjeet was referred. Tho report was read, and two thousand copies or dered to be printed. Tt is a paper evincing much close and patient research ; abounding in valuable statistical information, and does credit lo the ac complished benator who prepared it. . It takes de cided ground against consolidation, and with mark ed ability pomla oat conclusively tho danger* which most Inevitably lollow tho passage of the bill pro vided for. However, as it will sborllv be publiah ed, I Icavo U fordho present, satiatied that it will have a poworfol effect against the Bill. There was an animated discusaion in the Senate, on the Free Banking Bill, again, this morning, in which Senator Crabb, Mr. Walker and others par ticipaled.

At a meeting of the citizens of Pitt township, held at the house of Mrs-Murray, Penna. Avcnue j on Saturday the Bth of March, .fames S. Craft, Esq., was appointed Chairman, and Samuel Bar ton Secretary. The following persons were then nominated as candidates for the several township offices, viz: Auditor— Ralph Reed. ■ Treasurer —William Wilev. Judge of Election— William Wiley. Inspectors—Peter Connolly, Wm. B. Hays. Guardian op the Poor— Byron Burt. Supervisor— Byron Burt. Asbessor —Wm. A. Herron. Township Clerk— Alex. Brackenndge. Scuool Director, 3 years—J. D. Williams. “ ,l 1 year—C. S. Eyster. Constables— Samuel Barton, James McAleese. After the above nominations were made a call was read Hum the citizens oi Ohio township, fora convention of delegates to meet at the Court House on Wednesday, the 12th March, to consider the subject of a Poor House tor the boroughs and townships; whereupon E. D. Gazzam and E. P. Jones, were elected delegates to represent Pitt tp. in said Convention. The tollowing resolutions were then read, considered and unanimously adop* ted, a 9 the sentiments of the people of Pitt town* : ship, and as instructions to their delegates to said convention. Resolved , That we object to the establishment of a Poor House and Farm lor the townships in. connection with the boroughs, because it would create a new and additional obstacle to the con solidation of the city and suburbs under one mu nicipal government,and mcrease the town influence in country affairs, of which the farming mteiestß already complain, and on account of which peti tions are now before the Legislature. Resolved , 1 hat as the new city poor house and farm has proved advantageous to the city, a birms lar establishment for the townships would proba* bly be advantageous to them, if exclusively under country government, and the boroughs and city district were excluded. Resolved, That a common a&vlurn for the des titute of the two cities, and all the towns adjacent, and another for all the country districts, would be less expensive than the present system, and more judicious than a connection of the country and suburbs m the erection and support of a third establishment, controlled sometimes by country, and sometimes by town influences and intrigues And whereas. In compliance with the wishes ot the citizens of Ohio township, this meeting has cbo3?n delegates to the convention, that is to meet on next Wednesday, and expressed in the foregoing resolutions the sentiments o! this town ship in regard to poor houses, there are other sub* jects of considerable local importance that call for public attention and thorough reform. And whereas. Though this township is ed by the lows common to country districts, ire inhabitant?, by their puisuits and near vicinity to the city, are essentially townspeople. Placed be tween the city and the country, the city district is affected by both, and is uot so much involved with **itber n? to prevent a dispassionate view of ques' tions concerning the common good. Interested, tbcreiorc, in the welfare of both city and country, and as the frjftndffot both, the people at this town ship lake to express their opinions on a few' subjects in which all our citizens are di rectly or indirectly concerned. Tberefoie Resolved, *l.bat in our opinion the number of .County Commissioners it too small, considcrim? the and varied interests intrusted to and that iheir per diem is too low Commissioners, clected by separa f e a fair per diem of three dollars each Iple-Is; session, and limited to two sessions a I *Jo months duntion, or one session of duration, would be a salutary reiorm frfthis pica each district ot the county would be fairly represented, and tin peculiar wants made known and attended to. This, or some similar plan, would proDubly reconcile those parts of the country which have heretofore struggled for a new -county, and induce them to remain contentedly in old Allegheny. Resolved, That the history of the last few years demonstrates radical delects m our various muni cipal governments, rfow eight or nine in number, and without a speedy union, soon to be increased to a dozen; and proves the necessity of one City government tor. all. whose whole police, acting harmoniously under one head, could be promptly brought to any quarter of our extended town where popular excitement threatened the public peace; and could at all times, by its homogene ous organizatioo. better protect the persona and property of individuals from the outrages of rob* hers, murderers and incendiaries. Resolved, l hat the interests and safety of the people o! both town and country require that this change should he ejected before the various Rail* roads are completed, which are soon to connect Pittsburgh and her suburbs with distant parted the Union, and rapidly increase our population with a good and a desirable accession, i f cur local governments are good: but with a horde of disso* lute and dangerous characters, if our heal affairs are inefficiently or badly conducted. Resolved, That unless such consolidation takes place, besides the expense of erecting and sup porting separate Water Works and separate Poor Houses for each uf our cities, separate Water Works. Gas Works, Poor Houses, lown Halls and other public edifices for each of the large towns adjacent, witl have to be provided and sup ported at an enormous and unnecessary expense, besides adding greatly to the number of office holders, whose needless increase ih always injun* our. Another .reason iu favor of oue City gov* ernment for all the towns at the head of the Ohio is, the danger of conflicting claims, occasioning vexatious anfl'.expensive litigation; and the al most certainty of adverse and unfriendly ordinan* ces is an additional admonition to our citizens, while yet comparatively united in social and buv siness relation?, to rivet the bonds of union by a legal and enduring connection, which would make Pittsburgh one of the chief cities ol the United States, enhance, her character, improve her credit, eularge her resources, and secure to her people the blessings out an efficient and responsible govern* mont. Resolved , That a Mayor s Court is required lor the prompt conviction and punishment of-offend* ers. to diminish the present enormous expenses of the Jail, and. to enable, the Judges having civil nsdiction to clear the docket with properdispatch. Resolved, That the zeal and powerful influence of the conductors of the Public Press influenced the people to undertake those enterprizes which will soon vastly Increase the business and popufa tion ot this vicinity ; and »i the gentlemen of the Editorial corpß will exhibit the same united spirit «n aid of such necessary changes as the aUered circumstances of this community require, we have no doubt that ruccgbb would again crown their ef forts. - Laueafiter County* The regular Demociauc convontion of this county melon Wednesday last, id the city of Lancaster; and nominated the following delegates to the Read ing and Harrisburg State conventions: Reading Conventibn-~Co\..

With this vessel it is intended to visit the Worlds Fair* and it may be expected to sail in the coursa of a month- The confidence in ihecomplote* nous and greatness of tUe discovery, wo are inform* cd> is In no wise lessened, but rather strengthened, by every, additional development that has been mado. What increases, adds tho Telegraph, or rather conn firms, our faith in the discovery, is, that all our in» formation -comes from scientific gentlemen of the highest character, who have no possible interest, whatever, iq bringing it to light.
