BS?* We arc indebted to Col. .Meredith for
fall files of the “Daily Pacific Star,” containing
a great amount of California news, for which he
will be pleased to acoept our sincere acknow
ledgments.
Steubenville and Indiana Railroad,
We have before us the “Second Report of the
Board of Directors of the Steubenville and In
diana Railroad Company.” From this report we
are enabled to glean much that is valuable, in
relation to the affairs or the road, and also in
relation to matters of inquiry that have been
made in relation to our positiou on the great
eastern. route, add the amount of transportation
that any bo calculated upon for this road. The
directors, from the most careful surveys that
have been made, put down the distance from
rlnladelphia to Cincinnati, by the Columbus,
Steubenville and Pittsburgh route, at C 59 miles,
—being a less distance than by any other route,
and ticentg-sevm miles nearer than by the Zanes
ville, Wheeling and Hempficld route. This, so
ar ns distance is concerned, must give this road
a decided advantage; and when the low grades
and the long curves in the road are taken into
the account, tho distance is still further dimin
ished.
Upon a comparison of the produce on this
route with the other routes in Ohio, it is found
that there is a very large surplus in favor of
this road—the estimated surplus to be exported
along the line from Columbus to Steubenville
being 3,444,449 bushels of wheat, or 23,117
bushels for each mile of the road; while the
bittle Miami Bead, (which is one of the most
profitable roads in the west,) offers a surplus of
0n1y.895,607 bushels—equal to only 10,5315
bushels to each mile of the road: In domestic
animals a similar difference will be found bs*-
tjreen the two roads—the Steubenville and Iw
-diana Road offering 901,848 head of Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs, (or a ratio of 6052 to the
mile,), while the Little Miami offers but 405,866
head, or 4776 head to the mile. Here the Di
rectors have taken but two items as the basis of l
their calculation—live stock and wheat. But
for. the Steubenville and Indiana Road there is
another item of very great magnitude, which is
not enjoyed by the other roods, and indeed can
not be: this is the article of coal, which will
undoubtedly be transported over this road in
great quantities; and whioh, if no other
advantage, would greatly .lessen the price of
fuel, and consequent expenses of the road.
Among other matters claimin/g the attention
of the Directors, the cost or construction of this
road is an item that must commend it to general
consideration. And here, while most of the New
England Railroads—all of which are highly pro
ductive—have been constructed at an average
cost per.mile of about §45,000, there is only a
part of this road which w'm reach to $25,000 per
mile, while by far the fi».rger'portion of it is
estimated to cost not exceeding $16,000 per
mile. Thus we find that, there are no consider
ations presented, calculated to discourage the
friends of the undertaking; but, on the con
trary, every encouragement is offered to pro
ceed to its completion at the earliest possible
moment compatible with the proper construction
of the road, which is fully in accordance with
the determination of the Board of Directors
GOV.-JOBKgTOS’g ABOLITIONISM.
We knovr many most decided whigs, who will
not advocate the election of Gov. Johnston, and
many who will oppose it, simply because they
have no confidence in his political principles,
and because ho is advocating measures which
they, as whigs, detest.- They are themselves
convinced that honesty demands of them a faith
ful support of the constitutional compromise
which relates to fugitive slaves, and that we
have no right to assert the binding obligation of
the Union, without being willing to carry out
the full spirit of the conditions on which it is
based.
They consider it dishonest to demand of the
South that it shall Bubmit to the Constitution,
while we of the North refuse a faithful perfor
mance of those of its provisions which are among
the essential conditions on which it received the
assent of the South; and they look upon John
ston as chargeable with this dishonesty. They
can hardly suppose that he is, in principle, an
abolitionist, for ho is not particularly troubled
with principles. He has neither good sense nor
honesty enough to be guided by any other prin
ciple than the most narrow selfishness, and this
will be and ought to be his ruin.'
He knows that the whig party have always
been annoyed by a set of mercenaries; ’who are
too mean to have any national standing of their
own, and who are alwayß seeking to attain im
portance and advantage by a-party or non-res
pectability aiding them in the contest; and he
is willing to bay tkgr services even to the dis
credit of his party. The most notorious of these 1
is the abolition faction; and it is apparent that I
Johnston is willing to occupy an equivocal’ po
sition in relation to them, in order to secure
theireupport. ... ... - .. .. I
PITTSBURGH:
FOR GOVERNOR,
OF CLARION COUNTY.,.;
I He cores not for the peace and harmony of
the Union, so that he succeeds, nc cares not
that disunion principles and disunion feelings
receive countenance, if his prospects are im
proved. He cares not that the Whig party be
disgraced by a base alliance, if by that he may
become Governor. To please tho Abolitionists
he pretends to be opposed to the compromise mea
sures, and seeks to make this opposition ameasure
ofwhigpolicy. Will any honest, manly whig, suf
ersuch a man to inoculato the whig creed with so
deadly a virus—to graft so foul a scion on a whig
stock ? There ore thousands of national whigs
who will pubholy repudiate its base connection.
But still there are some who pretend to bo
whigs, and who support Johnston because of
his course on this very subject. Are they
Whigs ?

A little way from Dortis the ancient castle of
Loevestem, which was the prison of the learned
Grotius for a year and a half. The history of
his escape m a box, March 22, IG2I, gives nuin
terest to the spot He beguiled the tedious
months of confinement, by various studies in an
cient and mouern literature. Sundays he whol
ly devoted to prayer and the study of theology.
Twenty mouths of his imprisonment thus passed
away. Ills faithful and courageous wile now
began to devise means for his escape She had
observed that he was not so strictly watched as
at first; that the guards who examiucd the chest
used for the conveyance of his books and hneu
begau to examine them loosely. At length
they permitted the chest to pass without exami
nation.
Upon this she contrived a project for his re
lease. She had a chest made of tho proper size,
and bored holes in it to let in the wp. She intrust
ed her maid with the secret, and the chest was
conveyed to Grotius' apartment. She then re
vealed her project to him, and after much en
treaty prevailed on him to enter the chest and
leave her iu the prison. The books which Gro
titus borrowed were usually sent away by water
in a boat from tho prison. The chest, big with
the fate of Grotius, as soon as ho was inclosed
in it, was moved into the boat, accompanied by
the maid. One of the soldiers, observing that
the chest was uncommonly heavy, the maul re
plied, ‘lt is the Armenian books which are S:->
heavy’/ The soldier said in a joke‘Perhaps it
is the Armenian himselfand then withoutmuro
ado the chest was lodged m tho boat. As soon
ns the boat was fairly under way, the maid
ga'o a signal to her mistress that all vvns
right
Aftersomc hours the boat reached its destina
tion, and tho maid flow to Jacob Daatzelaar, n
friend of Grotitus, at whose house the chest was
deposited, and told him that her master was in
the box. He was at first terrified at the conse
quences which might result; but having sent
away tho servants, he'relefcsed Grotius, dressed
in the grab of a mason, with a rule and trowel,
and passing through the market in that dress to
a boat engaged for the purpose, made his escape
to Brabant and thence to Paris. His wife, to
conceal his escapo from the governor, kept the
burning in Grotius’ room till a late hour.
The governor, seeing the light and thinking he
vms studying late, thought no more of it. His
wi fc afterwards joined her husband 'ln Paris.—

American Affaire la die Mediterranean*
’ A correspondent of tho Newark Advertiser,
W.riting from Genoa, Aug. 4th says:
The King of Naples has shown his teeth to
wards the United States by forbidding his di
plomatic and consular agents to issue, or visa
passports to any of his subjects who may desire
to; enjoy the blessings of freedom in our country
or- oven to visit the, great exposition of the
world's progress in London.' How different
from the spirit of the noble young King of Sar
dinia, who liasJtiPl Tnaric' a'C'GuTiTT.un.jlj ..rT.OOO
francs to a fund subscribed at Turin to defray
the expenses of one hundred workmen from the
various brandies of manufacturers to that same
exposition.
Dr. George G. Baker, of Ohio, the recently
appointed United States consul for this port, has
reached Turin on his way hither. The Mediter
ranean squadron, Commodore Morgan, consisting
of the flag ship Independence and the steam
frigate Mississippi, have just returned to this
coast from a visit to Trieste, where they were
visited by over 50,000 Austrians, including the
Arch-Duke John and family, aud the King
and Queen of Saxony. The presence of the ves
sels iu these waters is justly regarded as highly
important to our national influence.
The Rev. Dr. Bacon and his son, of New Ha
ven, have just reached this country on their
wuy home, after a long and perilous tour in the
East, through Syria, Mesopatamia, Armenia and
Turkey. The doctor proposes to be iu London
at the meeting of the Evangelical Allinncc. He
is at this moment among the Waldenses in the
Vaudois valleys, near Turin.

county, Texas, on tho Ist of October, will be
promptly responded to by Texas, and a united

The Athens, 0., Messenger makes the fol
lowing remarks respecting the iron mines ofthat
state:
“ That the iron business in this region isilcs
tineil at no very distant day to become one of
vast magnitude, must be apparent to even the
casual observer. Extending through the coun
ties of Lawrence, Gallia, Jackson, Meigs, Vin
ton, Athens and Hocking, we have a belt ofiron
ore averaging some twelve miles iu width, and
extending a distance of one hundred or more iu
length, each square mile of which can ho sus
ceptible of keeping up a furnace employing one
hundred hands, and yielding eight tons "per day,
(valued at *25 per ton, I for any desirable period
of time. Coal of the very best qualitv, from
three to twenty and even thirty feet in thickness,
also underlies the counties named, together with
others—sufficient to last tor ages as a means of
fuel for manufacturing m tlieirimdst, as we’l as
for supplying the market demand northwest and
south of us. ’
Place fifty ora hundred or more of these fur
naces at different points m this mineral region
each producing annually from $GQ,O<i9 to $lOO
- worth of pig iron-creating a great variety
and an inexhaustible demand for business and
lalK.r—furnishing a steady, sure aud profitable
home market for all productions of the Boil
and who can calculate its future importance and
valuer England, with an available coal region
ocuppying an area less than tho counties of
Athens and Meigs united, manages to produce
annually $50,000,000 worth of iron—or an ag
gregate nearly equal to the entire agricultural
exportations of the United .States; and yet, at
this day, tho mineral regionoXOhio alone istius
coptible of being rendered four-fold more
valuable than the entire mineral region of Eng
land."
Ashe. and Lime on Plnro Tree..
i have in my garden a plum tree, which for
three or four years past, has not had any portion
of the plums sound.
The arc all bored or rotted, and fell from-the
tree before they were ripe. Two or three other
plum trees of a different kind which have homo
less, shared the same fate. Last year a young
tree which stood near an osh-leech, and had
never borne before, produced a solitary plum
that was sound. This suggested the idea that
its preservation was owing to the ashes which
-trad Pt-eh i-eoltcrcd rotin-i tho root of the tree.
Following out the hint thus given, I last yea/
spread lime nud ashes, with' manure and salt
around all my trees. The result has boon, that
they have all borne thin year more than usual,
and most of the fruit lias been sound. This re
sult I ascribe in part to the ashes and lime.
The same 1 find is recommended by l An Old
Digger.’ And the conclusion is obvious, that
alkali enough will destroy- the young insects as
they lie burrowed in the ground, or attempt to
amergo from it in the spring. If in this way,
sound plums can be raised, it will be found a
very easy way. Let some of our readers try
the experiment, and note the result.—llorticu'l

its cares and vicissitudes falls upon tho old
widower’s heart, and their is nothing to break
their force or shield him from the full weight
of misfortune. It is as if his right hand was
withered—as if ono wing of his eagle was broken,
an every movement that he made brought him
to the ground. His eyes are dimmed and glasßy

Small acts of kiudness, how pleasant and de
sirable do they make life! Every dark object is
made tight by them, and every tear of sorrow is
banished away. When the heart is sad and des

lling kindness drives dospair away, and makes
the path cheerful and pleasant.
Correigo, the illustrious painter, is said to

paid for one of his immortal works.
On Friday last, a married woman by the name
of Elizabeth Brunson, who resided in the neigh
borhood of Believernon, was committed to the
oouuty jail to answer for an assault and battery
upon the person of her sister, Mrs. Mary young.
Oath was made by Mrs. Young that Mrs. Brun
sen had inflicted two wounds upon her by a
stone. Mrs. Young died of the wounds about
eight days after their infliction. What is still
more .shocking, the father of both these women
assisted in committing tho awful deed. It is
said that he also inflicted several blows upon the
head and person of his daughter, Mrs. Young,
with a large billet of wood. A warrant has
been issued for his arrest, but he has fled the
conn tty. We understand that this fatal occur
rence was the result of a petty family quarrel
about tho depredations of some hogs. The fa
ther’s name is McClean, and it appears that his
son was also an aotor in the tragedy. He and
Mrs. Young bogan the quarrel. Neither Brun
sen or Young, the husbands of the sisters, was
present at the rencounter. These are as full
particulars as we have been able to gather.

A letter from Vienna, dated the SOth ultimo,
which appears in the English papers, Bays :
“ The negotiations with the Porte relative to
Kossuth and tho other refugees are beginning to
assume a very serious tone, for the Porte contin
ues to persist in the speedy dismissal of the Hun
garian agitators, and has fixed the Ist of Sep
tember as the term for their dismissal, which de
termination is generally supposed to be the re
sult of British and French interest. The more
decided the tone adopted by the Porte, the more
firm is the attitude of our cabinet, which has
gone so far as to threaten the Porte with the re
call or Count Biohberg, who was on the point
of starting for Constantinople—hay, the Vienna
cabinet is prepared to go yet furtherif the Porte
should adopt ulterior measures, and will advance
into Bosnia and the Herzogowina from the Dal
matian and Croatian frontier, and will appear
there as the protector of the Christian popula
tion. ;The friends of the agitators , place their
hopes on the prediction of the American consul,
who has throughout appeared to stand upon neu
?ko has preposed, in the name
of the Kepublio, that Kossuth shall go to Ameri
ca, on .condition of his promising never again to
set foot on the .soil of Austria—nay, never again
to approach the shores of Europe. Their only
apprehension is, that Kossuth himself will not
consent to this plan, whioh has been once repu
diated by him.”

fiT’Hlntß to Parents* one great source of
disease m children is the unhcaltbiness of parents! It
wonld be just as reasonable to expect a rich cron from
a barren soil; as that strong and healthy children ehoald
be born of parents whose constitutions have been worn
out with intemperance and disease. "A sickly frame may
be originally induced by hardships, accidents, or intem
perance; bnt chiefly by the latter. It Is impossible that a
course of vice or imprudence should not spoil the best
