On Monday last we accepted invitation <Jf a friend to take another dr lVe to Turtle Creek,. over the new Plank Road_ n) on g (heMonongahela valley. We found ilr admirable order, and we are to learn that it is already dojug a large profitable business. It is now planke<l entire distance, with the exception Of a mile, and this portion of the road is and leveled, ready for the plank. Since we last passed over the road we find that great improvements have been made.— In one or two places where land-slides proved troublesome, the surface of the earth lias been entirely removed, leaving a solid rock, which certainly ha* a secure anchorage. The worst feature of road is just beyond Braddock’s Field, where it approaches Turtle Creek, and comes m close proximity to the Railroad. We are fear ful that a bad location has mode at this place. It would have been much better had the Plank road been taken along the margin of the creek instead of close to the bill, nght under the Railroad, where the sliding of rocks and the * noise of the cars will prove alike annoying to those who t&vel on the Plank Road. Wo men tion this now, believing that it is not too late yet to remedy the difficulty. Along the Plank Road quite a number of im provements are going on. Many of our citizens are purchasing portions of land and arc erecting fine dwelling booses thereon. Mr. John Robin son is building a large Hotel at Braddock’s Field- It is beautifully located on the battle ground, and commands an admirable view of the Monon- Mr. George Bbinton is erecting another Hotel at Turtle Creek, immediately in Croat of the Railroad Depot. It will be a com fortable house, and well located for business Bat to oar old friend Allen Brown belongs the credit of erecting the Great Hotel at Turtle Creek. ■ It is located on the Turnpike, imme diately opposite the termination of the Plank Road, and is now nearly completed. The building has a front of 78 feet, and is 08 feet in depth. It is three stones high and contains 48 rooms. It will have eight spacious and well famished parlors, and all the bed chambers will be large, airy and comfortable. The house will have-all the conveniences belonging to the best conducted Hotels m our largo cities, and we feel confident that it will become one of the most attractive places of resort m the neighbor hood of Pittsburgh. The valley of Turtle Creek is one of the rich est and most beautiful m the West • and those of onr citizens who wish choice Country Seats a short distance from the city and.easy of access at all seasons of the year, we recommend them to visit the place and sec for themselves We understand that Alleh Beown has agreed to sell a'limited number of building lots, in the vicinity of his new Hotel, to accommodate some of onr business men who desire residences In that quarter. Turtle Creek can at present be reached by Turnpike, by the Monongohela Slackwater navigation, and by the Plank fioad- In -a short, time the Railroad will also be in operation, when a trip .out will be made in abont half an hour. We returned hamebywayoftßs turnpike, for the purpoSeof-examining theVork on the Bail road atlSast. liberty, which- is creating u good deal of excitement in that usually quiet Tillage; but as ifwas after night when we reached that we to scrutinize the.work as closelyaa we desired. ' We. shall hereafter take' occasion to make a special visit to -East Liberty In day time, jyben we : shall give a fair state m'gat oFtfie'pfraentTdiffionltiea. If- the Bail road CoiSpany has not built suph / a Budge-ibr' the Turnpike Company as they agreed to do, probably the best way to settle the matter is to refer it to b “jury of the vicinage.” 1 L. HABPEfi, EPITOB PITTSBURGH :SEPTEMBEB 3, Of CLEAmiELD COUKTT. FOR. CANAL COMMISSIONKR, OFifeOLARIOK COUHTY. ‘ - 1 •r- ' THE>VHIG GOVEKNORg" How do (Lose Whigs, the;: resolutionsDf their Lancaster Convention are 0 plain declaxatiorrr .in' favor ?of tirt compromise measures,, like their’- 1- leader’s - /course ou~this subject? They chose Jum as the exponent; of tlreir principles—how do they like his expo-"’ sition? We think their construction of those resolutions the only honest and it is the construction of afl genuine Whig papers; But-JoHNsroN-disregardsihe of the platform on which he was nominated, and is now openly advocating an alteration of the prin cipal feature of-thoseTngssnres; ’-If so in real whig districts, as well as in abolition districts, he would obtain ‘the credit of at least 1, bold dishonesty. ' But he has not the courage fori this. How can honest men or an honest party avoid rejecting such a man with scorn and contempt? He; is meanly endeavoring to seenre his success on j abolition principles. Could whigs rejoice in su<jh a result, as a whig success ? He disgraces hia party by acknowledging that he cannot suc ceed on their principles'; will they advance de tested principles to aid one who is recreant to them? ’ L ‘-’ . j The dishonest of bis course most be plain to any observing eye; and is there not honesty enough in the whig party to produce a general repudiation of such a political huckster ? Y es, that is the word ; for we* every where fink him, not speaking on the great principles of his party, but peddling in all the small wares of petty factions, and seeking to make his fortune out of them. Here peddling os an abolitionist —there as a free soiler, in another place as a Native American, and occasionally venturing to show the better wares which he has stolen from the whigs—we say stolen, for we doubt if he over honestly acquired any honest principles. The late Johnston Convention of this place was of a piece with his whole course. It was a trick throughout, and its failure gives some countenance to the old adage— 41 honesty is the best policy. " It was announced and advertised, even through the adjoining counties, that such men as Gen. Scott and John J. Crittenden were to be present. What absurd mendacity ! What barefaced cheatery ! Can it bo supposed that Gen. Scott would be so insane as to connect his fortunes with suchau unprincipled politician as Johnston? Would John J. Crittenden, the man-*- ly Kentucky Whig, aid to select such a disgrace ful pretender of whig principles ? Nothing of the kind. It was not expected. The sole ob ject of such representations was to gull the un suspecting, and thus, upon the reputation of no ble and honorable men, to get up a Johnston meeting. But the cheat did not succeed. The meeting was a miserable and humiliating fail ure; and Johnston left here after it, feeling about os mean os be did at Bedford Springs, when Gen. Taylor washonored and be neglected. Qailneit of the Country. As an evidence of the great amoafit, of busi ness going forward in got country any more than naming the immense extent of j railroads, canals, turnpikes and plank roads I that are being constructed—we would refer the reader to the following table, showing the In crease in the amount of business done, by the several railroads mentioned, as compared With the corresponding periods of last year: Long Island, 2 months, to July $1,902 Galena and/Jhicago. 3 months, to July.. 17,888 Vermont and Massachusetts, July 2,630 Michigan Central do 30,997 Saratoga and Washington d0....r:... 6,672 Housatonic.. d 0... 5,346 -Hartford and Fishkill ...do 3,6] 2 Rutland and 8ur1ingt0n........d0 16,131 Erie Railroad..... do 124,407 New York and New Haven....do Harlem do Columbia and Philadelphia....do Increase for 1861 With such facta as these before us; while we are receiving a regular addition to our stock of specie greater than the amount exported; and when it is known that the rate at which our larger coins arc received in England is decidedly favorable to us : and while our exports are im mensely large; who, but a man politically a monomaniac, can foil to regard our Country as in a flourishing condition 1 Evidencei of Prosperity. The Keokuk (Iowa) Dispatch says—Consider able building has been done during the wet and unfavorable summer now ending, but the real work of the season has apparently just com menced. In all directions from our office, we see new buildings going up. The sound of the saw and the hammer, the tap of the bricklayer and the blow of the stone cutter, are heard from all quarters. We hove heard (says the Madison (Indiana) Madisonian,) of some engagements of hogs to be delivered here in the tall—a lot of live hun dred at from $3 25 to $3 To—and a lot of one thousand at $4 00. The I/ouievillc (Ky.) Couner 4 says—Boat build ing this seasoQ.-ni the West has been moro exten sive thau in any other season that we recollect of. A full share of the business is earned on at Pittsburgh. The gross receipts of the Baltimore and Sus quehanna railroad, from October 1, IKoO. to June 30, 1851, was $263,984 92; being $49.- 888 70 more than the earnings of the previous y ear. We hear of sales during the past few dayß (says the Louisville Courier,) of some 7,000 or 8,000 hogs for packing, m Shelby county, at $3 gross. The packing business in this vicinity next season will be larger than ever, and hogs will command full pnees. The aggregate amount received for tolls on the New York State Canals, from the commence ment of navigation to the 7th of August, 1851. has been molusive $1,000,405 11 Same period in lt}so 1,324,870 11 Increase iu/1851 The amount of tolls collected on the Illinois and Michigan Canal, from the opening of nav igation to the 31st of July, was $91,095 79: same time in 1850. $06,000 3b. Increase this year, $20,487 41—equal to about 40 per cent. • The receipts of the Moms Canal for the week ending on the 9th were $4,429 70, against $2,- 303 80, during the same week m 1860—showing an increase of $2,125 90—equal to nearly one hundred per cent. The receipts of the Hartford, Providence, and Fishkill Railroad, for the months of May, June and July, are about $lO,OOO more than the re ceipts of the same months in 1850. The increase on the Galena and Chicago Rail road, for the last three months, over the corres ponding period of 1860 has been $17,918 34. J- W'. Allen, Esq., of Ohio, has come into the possession of 25,000 acres of land in the neigh borhood of Defiance, in that State.

Charles Eumes, Es.j.. late editor of the Nashville Union, is now associated in the edito rial department of the Unum at the City r*f Washington. Mr. Eames is well known as a writer, and his accession to the editorial force at this time, will lessen the labors of the prin cipal editor, and entitle the public to look with increased confidence for the successful and satis factory conduct of the paper. [CORRESPONDENCE OF THF. DAILT MORN ISO POST, j The political contest is becoming more animat ed. Col. Bigler, in hfs addresses hereabouts, and in the North, has shown himself a glorious specimen of the gallant interior democracy, and has won much praise even from the opposition, for the gentlemanly tone uf his addresses, and his strict avoidance, in discharging public questions, of everything like personality ; and it is little wonder that Gov. Johnston is shrinking from an encounter with him. He has already filled some twenty appointments, and has everywhere com manded the widest admiration for the clearness of thought and candor which Ims distinguished his arguments. His manner is, moreover, well calculated to please, more itnpassionless and im pulsive than when we recollect him some five or six years ago in the Senate ; and he imparts to his listeners the same enthusiasm he himself feels, nis addresses here have been productive of much good They have exposed many of the iniquities which Gov Johnston has sought to gloss over; and at the same time have complete ly disarmed some of his most unscrupulous ene mies, of which he has not a few The confidence now animating the democracy has inspired an unusual degree of zeal for the success of the whole ticket : and a disposition on every hand to forego personal niniß in order to contribute to that result. This feeling has strikingly mani fested itself in the City and County Conventions, which have just completed their nominations ; and one of the cousequences has been, the best ticket, perhaps, that bo* been presented tu 'the people here for many years. We feel confident also in its success, and not content with carry ing the county, and the city and county offices; we shall shake the Whig Gibraltar terribly—of that you may rest assured. The Whigs of the county have resolved to have nothing to do with .$259,505 the* Native;* :vnd the Natives rtf the eitv, with few exceptions, have resolved to have nothing to do with the Whigs. If either act up to their professions, we will show vou what gallantry can achieve in a fair encounter, and give you an old fashioned report from hence. There continues to be manifested an unusual degree of feverishness and perturbation in finance affairs, the result ol over-trudiug and ex pansion in times of apparent ease Failures some to a large amount, are frequent, and the difiicully im serious, though perhaps it may be only temporary. The cashier of one of' our banks has within a few days been found nearly $200,000 shopt, and has resigned iu consequence He involves a number of brokers largely “pros trating two or three entirely, and shaking others terribly. The money market in conse quence, with a very genteel feeling of distrust among business men. and continued heavy ship ments of specie, is very stringent, and the bank** are reducing thelv discounts. The remedy for the evil is expected to come mainly from Cali fornia. though the incoming crops will contribute much to the needed relief. It is the opinion of careful men that ns new placers are opened, the ausiferous sands of California will yield as large a quantity of gold as ever, while the improved machinery in washing quartz rock is producing a large amount from that source. The result, however, upon our trade is in a measure doubt ful. even should the largest anticipated product of gold continue. Our commerce with California has met a sudden ohcck. as is evident from the limited number of vessels loadiug for San Fran cisco: while on the other hand, foreign coun tries are competing with us for tliattrado—Chili with her breadstuffs, and England. France and China with their manufactures." We must natu rally expect, therefore, that a very large amount of the gold product will be diverted from us • and unless greater caution is exercised in busi ness, we shall soon be brought up with a round turn. « $283,629 0( The doings in Cuba continue very naturally to engross public attention, and further intelli gence is looked for with, great anxiety. There is little doubt as to the fate of the expedition, though the accounts are conflicting, and the re ported cujAure of Lopez and his force want con firmation. W e shall probably receive intelligence by Wednesday or Thursday next, by one of the Chagres steamers, and being to about the 30th Au gust, will give definite results. There is an un usual degree of sympathy manifested through out the country for the patriot oause, and strong censure is visited upon the President for his proclamation of April last, which there is little doubt emboldened the Bpamsh authorities in the barbarous and inhuman execution of the prison ers captured. \ou will observe with satisfaction, that in the Lancaster Whig Convention this week, the re doubtable Stevens and his “Woolly Heads ’ met an utter overthrow. It is a significant fact, also, that many of the nominees for county offices bear for Gov. Johnston as httlo love as for Ste vens himself; and with the good impression which Col. Bigler has made m Lancaster, there is little doubt that the Democracy there will give a better account of themselves in October, than they have been able to do in former years. Hon. K. J. Walker, late Secretary of the Treasury, sailed from New York in the Baltic to-day for Liverpool.

The Crotan glass works, about a mile from New Castle, organized under the general manu facturing law of this State, are doing an excel lent business. So says the Lawrence Journal. The Right Rev. Bishop Potter, D. D. assisted by his clergy, performed the interesting ceremo nies in laying the corner stone of the new Epis copal Church, at New Castle, on Thursday after noon last. There was a large concourse of peo ple iu attendance. The Lawrence Journal states that the brick work of the spacious new Court House at New Castle has been completed and workmen are now busily engaged in roofing and raising the timbers for the steeple. It makes a beautiful appearance ou that eminence and will add much to the beauty of East New Castle. C. C. Burr has purchased the Democratic pa per at Elmira, N.

A shoemaker namod Daily visited Indiana lost week and carried off the wife and child of a brother craftsman, taking them to Louisville.— If the pursuing fih&band catches the thief it will be his last. A dispatch from New York to the Louisville Courier, announces the failure of two large houses engaged in the tobacco trade. They are Esseuwein, and Fatman & Co. The latter has a branch in Cincinnati. Both are German houses. About the year 1799, Miranda, an exile from one of the South, Amercao colonies of Spain, got up a revolutionary expedition for the purpose of overthrowing the Spanish power in America.— He are told that on that “ occasion Miranda re ceived open aid from Great Britain ; he fitted out his expedition in a British port, and was ac companied by British ships of war/'j In the year 1836, the number of mulberry trees in Lombardy, was 15,573,000; the popu lation was 2,500,000. In the year 1848 the amountof silk produced was 35,800,000 pounds of coccoons. Besides the trees, there are a great number of mulberry hedges, kept for the supply of leaves which they give. A friend from Muhlenburg says the Russell ville (Ky.,) Herald, informs ua that a silver mine of great richness baa absolutely been found in>this country. The ore has been tested and found exceedingly valuable. Muhlenburg will uow wake up to her own importance.

The Newark (N. Y.) Mercury says,—We yes terday bad exhibited to us a very elegantly carv ed gold ring, of Newark manufacture, which is for Daniel Webster.

S(trees* of I l»e Tea Plain In tlir United The last accounts which we published in re gard to the progress of the Tea plant m South Carolina, under the cultivation of Junius Bmith, LL. D., stated that the experiment was working finely. The tollowing extract of a let ter from that gentleman shows that he has met with final success—an experiment to which he has devoted a large fortune: • I have now before me a pot of fresh green tea, from mv own plantation, the first I have enjoyed. Having no experimental evidence iu this country of the effect of curing tea by solar heat only, contrary to the Chinese, Indian, and Javan mode of curing by fire, or roasting iu iron kettles, 1 felt some reluctance to expose this my first experiment to the public gaze, and there fore conducted the whole, from the picking of the leaves to drinking tho tea, m a private way I am much gratified with the result of this my first essay in manufacturing American tea Ike drying is so simple that any farmer in the United States can make his own tea. with the same certainty and with the same ease as he can make his own hread- “ The fragrance is not so high as imported Hyson tea; but the taste i& far more pure and clean in the mouth, although it leaves the stamp of fresh made tea, or rather a tea from a' fresh leal. It has not the slightest disagreeable taste but has a full delicious flavor, indicating, in an eminent degree, perfect purity, and the presence of a sweet, refreshing bevorage. Connoisseurs will, perhaps, measure tho quality of my tea by their own, to which they oro accustomed. But the comparison will not hold good. My tea is so peculiar, as I always use it m the Chinese way, without sugar or milk, and have the taste of tho tea only, and sannot easily be mistaken in the flavor and true properties of the tea. If the tea be good, anything and everything added to it is a detrimont. If bad, use as much sugar and milk as will neutralize the bad qualities, and leave nothing but the taste of sugar and milk. I do assure you that 1 am so delighted with my pot of tea that I have drank of it half a dozen times whilst writing this article, and nearly ex hausted tho teapot. My black tea plants, since their removal in April, have grown much slower than tho green tea plants. Indeed the green tea plant is a much more hardy plant than the black. E<*rcderika Bremer on Married Men. She says : 1 confess, then, that I never find, and never have found a man more loveable, more captivating, than when he Is a married -mau ; that is to say, a good married man. A man is never so handsome, never so perfect, in my eyes, as when ho is married—as when he is a hus band, and the father of a family—supporting in his manly arms wife and children, and whole do mestic circle, which in his entrance into the mar ried state, closed arouud him, and constitute part of his home and his world. He is not merely ennobled by this position, but he is actually beautified by it. Then he appears to me as the crown of ereation; and it is only such a man as this who is dangerous to me, and with whom I am inclined to fail in love. But then propriety forbids it. And Moses, and all European legis lators declare it to be sinful, and all married women would consider it a sacred duty to stone me. Nevertheless I cannot prevent the thing. It 16 so and cannot be otherwise; and my only hope oi appeasing those who are excited against me is in my further confession, that no love affects me so pleasant: the contemplation of no happi ness makes me so happy, as that between mar ried people. It seems to me that I, living un married, or mateless have with that happi ness little to do—but it is so. and it always was so. SPIRW'-FVI.OWBB.S. BV ; C. D-.S-tJARTv-.

A Beautiful Sentiment* John G. Whittrier, the Quaker Poet, in writing about Irish emigrants among us, says : “For myself, I confess I feel sympathy forthe Irishman. I see him the Representative of a generous, warm-hearted, and cruelly oppressed people. That be lores his native land—that his patriotism is divided—that he cannot forget-the claims of his mother island—that his religion, with all its abuses, is dear to him. A stranger in a strange land—he is to me an object of in terest. The poorest and the lowest hqs a ro-' monce in his history. Amidst all his apparent gaiety and natural drollery, and wit, the poor emigrant has sad thoughts of the “ould mother of him”—sitting lonely in her solitary cabin by the bog side—reccollections of a father’s bless ing and a sister’s farewell—that sister loved so devotedly—and haunting him—a grave mound in a distant church yard, far beyond the wide s‘water” —has an eternal greeness in his memory; • for there, perhaps, lies “a darlint child,” or a “«weet creather,” who once loved him—the new World is forgotten for the moment, blue Killar noy and the Liffy sparkle before him—Glenda logue stretches beneath him its dark, still mirror he sees the same evening sunshine rest upon ami hallow with natures blessings and the ruins of the Seven Churches of Ireland’s apostolic age - iho broken mound of the Druids—and the round towers of the Phoenician sun worshippers —beautiful and mournful recollections of Jiome a-vnkeos within him—and the rongb and seem ingly careless and light-hearted laborer melts in to tears, it is no light thing to abandon one’s country and household gods. Touchingly beau tiful was the injunction of the prophet of the Hebrews : —Ye shall not oppress the stranger, fc r you know not the heart of the stranger, see ing that ye were strangers in the land of Egypt." Cemors Phenomenon. —A Shower of Frogs. — Capt. Breevoort, of the brig Delaware, of Philo dolphia, from Cardenas, Cuba,.writes, that at p<>rt on the *JBth ultimo, during the afternoon, a copious shower of rain fell in and abouttbetown, alter which could be seen, not hundreds but tLousands of small frogs in all ports of the streets: so abundant indeed that one could scarcely walk without trampling them under foot. The cap taiu says as the place is not subject to that kind of fish, he would like to know where they came from. The liev. Mr. Beicourt, of Pembina, informed us says the Minnesota Democrat, when here, a. short time ago, that coal had been found on Red River, some 40 or 50 miles this side of Perabi un, which had been tried at a blacksmith’s forge and found to be of a superior quality.

It is impossible that a course of vice or imprudence should not spoil the best constitution} and did the evil terminate here, it would be a just punishment for the folly of the transgressor Dot hot so. For when once a disease is contracted, and through neglect in applying iheiprnper means it becomes riviteain the habit, it is then entailed upon posterity.— Female constitutions are as capable of improvement as family estates—and ye who would wish to improve, not only your own health, but that pf your own offspring, by eradicating the many distressing cuseasea that arc entail ed through neglect or imprudence, lose no time itfpuri-. fying the blood and cleansing the system.
