The Scott Call—Forgery!
The Commercial Journal charged in language
the most positive and unmistakeable, that the
MOST of. thoss whose' names are appended to the
call for a meeting of the friends of Gen. Scott,
in this City, “HAVE NEVER SIGNED OR
SEEN THE CALL.” This imputes the CRIME
OF FORGERY to Biddle & Co., who are known
.to be the gatters-up of the Scott meeting! A day
or two since we expressed astonishment at finding
the names of respectable clergymen appended to
that call, as we believed no Minister of t£e Gos.
pel would so far forget himself as to wish to dab«
. .Me in the muddy waters of politics. We after
wards met one of the Clergymen, and he assured
ns, in the most emphatic language, that he nei.
ther signed the call nor authorized any person to
sign it for him Doubtless the other Clergymen
would say the same thing The next day we met
a Whig friend whose name was printed to the call
and he was indignant because of the unauthorized
liberty taken by Biddle & Co., in signing his
name to a paper he never saw. We would not
be astonished, if the matter was investigated, to
find that tuto or three men sign ei all the names to
the call far the Scott meeting, to be held an the 22nd
instant! t
We must not be understood as wishing to deny
that there are any Scott men in Pittsburgh ; for
we well know the contrary to be the case. Near
ly all the old Federalists, Antimasons and Aboli
tionists, in and about this City, are Scott meD, to
our certain knowledge.
Biddle no doubt believes that by getting into
the Scott flood he will swim on to fortune' His
muddy-sheet," as Riddle styles it, having never
been beard of in Washington, of course did not
heretofore receive a single crumb from the gov.
eroment table. The oM sinner thinks that if
Gen. Scott, by any hocus pocus, should get into
the White House, the Pittsburgh American will be
his official organ in Western Pennsylvania 1 '
Deacon White, of the Gazette, sees at a glance
what Biddle is after, and is becoming alarmed
Like the donkey that stood between two hay
stacks, he don’t know which way to turn, and he
therefore pnffs Fillmore and Scott alternately'
We shall have a very’Himusing campaign, at
least so far as the Whigs are concerned The
“Woolly Heads” and “ Silver Grays” are fighting
for the spoils, and we may as well tell them at
once that both will be sorely disappointed
Punliblng Ills enemies 1
The Washington Republic, the official organ of
Mr. FiiDHoni, admits the fact that the President
has dismissed Whig office holders of the “ Woolly
Head” stripe, because they opposed the execution
ol the Fugitive Slave Law. That paper also ad
mits that the President (through the. Secretary of
State.) has “discontinued the publication of the
laws” in newspapers of the Sewabd school, for
the same reason. Hear the Republic ■
• “Wehave always regarded the Wuros as a law
and order party, but we apprehend that they would
i hardly retain that character if a Wars Pbebi
-1 debt should give the preference in the publication
of the laws to journals which regard organized
and treasonable resistance to them as merely a
phase of the same “ treason” which resulted in tbe
overthrow of the power of Great Britain in her
• American colonies.’’
Our neighbor, the Deacon, some time since de
’ dared that tbe Fugitive Slave Law was “ MO
RALLY VOID THOUGH LEGALLY BIND
ING,” but for fear of losing the Government pa
tronage, he concluded to turn round and puff
President Fizlmobe, who “ signed and approved”
the Act!
Soldiers of tbe Mexican War.
Tho Legislature have passed a bill appropriating
$30,000 for the payment of the claims (for two day’s

Western Fenn.ylv.nta Hospital.
The Annual Meeting ol the contributors to the
Western Pennsylvania Hospital, was held in the
Board of; Trade Rooms, on Tuesday, the 15th
inst , and-was organized by the appointment of
Copt Robert Bren, as Chairman, and Mr. John
Hanpan, as Secretary.
Reports from the President, the Architect and
tbe Finance Committee, showing the situation and
prospects of the Institution, were submitted to
the meeting. The contributors present evinced
much gratification on learning that the institution
is now unembarrassed, the entire debt for the erec
tion of the buildings having been liquidated du
ring the past year. Great credit was given to the
contractors, Messrs. I. & A. Pattebbon, tor their
faithful performance of the work. In the Report
of the Finance Committee it was stated that since
the last annual meeting new subscriptions were
made (anu principally by members of the Board
of Managers, to pay off the debt,) amounting to
$6,965 66; thus making the total amount of the
subscriptions on the books $41,195 66. There is
yet outstanding $6,210, a portion of which, it is
thought, will be lost, from changes in the circum
stances ol the subscribers. The President stated
that since the last annual meeting Col. Jambs
Andebson, of Manchester, and John H.&hoen
nznauß,Esq., of this city, have been added to the list
of Life Managers, by the payment into the Trea
sury of one thousand dollars each. He also stated
that the ladies of Allegheny and Pittsburgh had
it imcontemplation to organize an Association to
provide the requisite furniture and bedding for
the various apartments of the Hospital, and that
they would probably call a meeting during the
ensuing week for the purpose of carrying their
enterprise into effect.
After the Reports were read, the Hon Taos
M. Howe offered the following resolutions which
were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the Report of the Board of
Managers be accepted, and that the same, togeth
er with the accompanying documents, be pub
lished in pamphlet form, under the direction of
me officers of me Board.
Resolved. That this meeting is highly gratified
at learning of the completion of the buildings in
a satisfactorv manner, under the contract with
Messrs. Pattebbon ; and equally so, that the
balance due them has been liquidated with so
little delay.
Resolved, That for these gratifying results, at
tained at so early a period, the public are largely
indebted to the untiring zeal and perseverance of
the officers and managers of the Board. Although
surrounded at times by disheartening and discoura
ging circumstances, involving a devotion of much
valuable time and very considerable drafts upon
their private pecuniary resources, they have
pressed forward with the enterprise, determined
that the word "fait’ should never be written in
the vocabulary of this Institution.
Resolved, That this meeting cordially recom
mend the Western Pennsylvania Hospital to the
patronage and benevolence of their fellow citizens,
sincerely hoping that the measures now contem
plated for its entire completion and furniture may
be effectual, and the Institution be speedily placed
in a fit position for the reception of patients.
Resolved, That the continual increase of contri
butions to the funds of this Institution is highly
gratifying, as it affords the best evidence that
when the Huspital shall be ready for the reception
ot patients, the public benevoleuce can be relied
upon for the relief and support of such of its un
happy inmates os may stand in need of pecuniary
aid.
The following preamble and resolution were
submitted and adopted :
Whebeas, The Western Pennsylvania Hospital
is now erected and nearly reaJy for the reception
of patients,.und all that is wanting to put it into
successful operation is a general contribution from
those persons m this gceat community whose
hearts sympathize with human sufferings ; and,
Wuebias, It is thought by this meeting that
by a proper effort donations could be received
from the citizens of Pittsburgh, Allegheny, and
the Western portion ol this State, to create an
Endowment Fund, and which might be so in
vested that the profits would materially if not al
together sustain the Institution; and it is the be
lief that such benefactions would be given with
cheerfulness from the idea of the perpetuity of
the gift, and the expectation that the interest
would flow on like perennial springs, doing
offices to humanity when the hands that bestowed
the principal would be mouldering into dust; and,
Wucbxas, In order to collect such a Fund an
efficient plan and arrangement would have to be
matured, which cannot be entereil into by this
meeting; Therefoie,
Resolved, That the Managers be directed at their
earliest convenience to prepare such a plan and
apprise the public of the same, and to appoint
Committees for the several Wards of Pittsburgh
and Allegheny, for the different Townships and
Boroughs of the County, and for the several
Counties in Western Pennsylvania, for the purpose
of collecting an “ Endowment Fund," the princi
pal of which shall be invested in such Stocks as
the Managers may consider safest, and to remain
forever inviolate, and the interest only to be ap
plied to the uses and support of the Institution.
The Contributors then went into an election
under the charter for Managers to serve for the
ensuing three years, Messrs. Thomas M. Howe,
Robert Beet and John T. Logan acting as Judges.
After counting the ballots, the following hamed
gentlemen were declared duly elected, viz: J. K.
Moorhead, Jacob Painter, James Ross, Charles F.
Spang, Joseph Pennock, William Wilkins, and
William W. Wallace.
The meeting then adjourned.

Steubenville and Indiana Railroad*
The Editor of the Pittsburgh Gazette has time
aod again urged upon tho 'friends of tho Steuben*
villo and Indiana Railroad the propriety of contio
uing the road up and aiong the west bank of the
Ohio river, to preference to crossing the river at
• Steubonvtlle, and pissiog through the counties of
Washington and Allegheny, to Pittsburgh, by tho
shortest and most practicable route. We ask why
is it that this “circumbendibus” route is urged';
Is it so that AUegheny is to be built up to the neg»
loct ot the City of Pittsburgh; Are all the Depots
to be in AUegheny? Dare a rivalry exist between
Pittsburgh and Allegheny; Aod if so, dare the
Editor take rides ? Will the wayfare aod travel
along the west bank ot the Ohio river, (in direct
route with steamboat navigation) justify tho con
struction of the road ; Would it not be more to
the interest and prosperity of Pittsburgh, if not to
•Allegheny, to offer facilities to tbe citizens of-Wash*.
ington and Allegheny counties, to bring their pron
duce, their minerals and their trade, in general, to
Pittsburgh, to preference to having it and the travel
directed by the Hcmpfield, or some other route;
We think that it »s high limo that tbe citizens of
Pittsburgh should look ot this matter of rfuafry,
and know distinctly who are and who are not the
truo friends to the prosperity of Pittsburgh. T.
tSTTwo steamers are now building in New York,
intended for navigating the Chinese waters. The
Celestials inhibit the employment'or importation of
such vessels as these, built in foreign countries,
though there is do ban upon the importation of the
materials for the making of such craft* To comply
with the law, therefore, the builders are obliged to
put up the timbers of the vessels and then take them
down again, for shipment to China, where ihey will
be again pul together.

Gold and Silver tn Oblo.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following ac«
count uf the finding of gold and silver ore in
Ohio :
“About four weeks since, some workmen in
digging a sand bank near the town of Xenia, found
a piece of conglomerated rock, in which was a
piece of native silver ore. Of this fact, we believe,
there is no doubt. The specimen was not such, in
place or form, as admits a supposition of its being
melted, or left accidentally by Indians or early
settlers. It was a specimen of native silver; but
no other has been found since.
“ Soon after Gen. Moody found on his farm, be
low’ Spring Valley, gold dust, in u peculiar kind
of sand-7-the same, we believe, in which*-gold is
usually found. Many specimens of this have been
found and exhibited to competent judges, and
there is no doubt it is genuine native gold, but
found, as yet, in fine particles.
“ About the same time Mr. Gest, of Xenia,
found it on his farm; and we are told that, in
digging a mill-race several years since, gold dust
was found in the sand. As yet the particles are
not abundant enough to make it profitable; but
its existence at all in that locality is worthy of
note, and an investigation should be made into the
peculiar geology of that county. 1 '

Whigs in New Canaan, qaito a large manufacturing
town, declined voting to some extent; in conse*

eiderably.
.We are told that if Mr. Butler had done what his

in the Compromise measures—ho would have been

The Detroit Free Press of Friday has the follow
ing account of the accident to Gen. Brady :
The esteemed citizen and venerable soldier, Gen.
Hugh Brady, met with a serious and perhaps fatal
accident yesterday afternoon, which has thrown a
feeling of gloom over the wholo city, and which will
be heard with deep regret throughout the country.
About one o’clock, as be was driviog a span of bor
sea before ajlight buggy on Miami avenue, the horses’
feet became entangled in the telegraph wire just be
ing thrown across the avenue, causing them lo be*
come uomsoBgeabte. They ran- down the avenue
at a fearful rate, and after proceeding but a short dis
tance, by a sudden sheer, threw the General so vio
lently upon the. plank walk as to severely fracture
the skull about the forehead. He was taken into
the resldence.of John W. Strong, Jr., Esq., near by,'
where professional aid was rendered by Surgeon
Trippler, U. S. A., Dr. Zina Pitcher and others who
were promptly in attendance.
Notwithstanding the injuries are so severe, hopes
arc entertained of his recovery, though his advanced
age renders it almost improbable.
As soon as the accident became known, the most
lively feelingsof interest were exhibited by ourcili*
sens, and the house was visited by hundreds, an*«
ions to learn the condition of the gallant soldier.—
The house was surrounded daring the afternoon by
citizens of all classes, testifying the high estimation
in which he is held here.
The Providence Herald (dera.,) sayß:
*' The vacancies in the Senate are filled, and-only
one remaining in the Nouse to be filled, aod that
is from this city. The second trial will be had
next Friday. The General Assembly now stands,
including the Lieutenant Governor in the Senate,
as follows:

The Elk County Advocate is down upon the Pitts-*
burgh bridges as “nuisances.” Hear bow he talks :
Sebves them RiQHx.—Tho Wheeling folks are
threatening to lake some steps to have the Pittsburgh
bridges removed. Go ahead Wheeling, if your
bridge is a nuisance, those at Pittsburgh are also
nuisances and should be removed. We give it as
our opinion ‘free gratis for nothing, l that the whole
batch of bridges across the Allegheny from the mouth
to Warren, or as far, up as boats could navigate,
arc clearly nuisances, aud as such' should be re
moved.

•A Child Saved! Curious Case.— The following evi
dence is only one of thousands of similar .character,
and conclusively proves that Dr. Howe’# Sarsaparilla is
one of the mo3l effective remedies ever discovered
Dr. Home.*—Dear Sir. —My son, when about six
months old, broke out with lhat dreadful distaseyScrofu
lous Sorei) over the face and body; and for two years
and a hall I tried every means that 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 sufferer dead, that it
might be freed trom its pains. During the last six
inonihs.the sores were so distressing and .painful, my
self and wife were up with it night and day, for weeks,
together, and-tee had glum up ail hope of ever raising
our little one. At length, a friend advisedus to try your
Shaker Sarsaparilla. Reluctantly.l tried it, and I have
reason to bless God for it, id averyshort lime,it heal
ed up the sores, so that there is scarcely even a scar 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 great deal of suffering and expense. The
child is now well and hearty. We. do unnesilatingly
consider y our Shaker Sarsaparilla one of the best pre
parations now in use. . JOHN STAN9BURV,
i v . ; Hose, between Front nml Second sts. •
This is the only Sarsaparilla that acts in the Liter, Kid
neys and Blood, at the same time, which renders it altogeth
er more valuable to every one, particularly Females.
Dr. Mussey, Professor in die Ohio Medical College, says
the Shakerprcpdrations aretruly valuable , and recommends
them to the public.
No Mescukt—ro Mineral—no Poisonous Drugs in
lAs Shaker Sarsaparilla.
Remember, it t s warranted to be purely and entirely

no equal.

“This may certify that I have been cured of an old
chronic cough by the use of four bottles of Petroleum.
The cough attacked me a year ago Jast December, and I
had lost all hopes of getting welt, as I bad taken the ad
vice of several physicians without any benefit. 1 was
benefitted almost instantly by the use of the Petroleum.
I coughed wp, during the use of the Petroleum, a hard
