to themselves, and of no real benefit to their »

Pittsburgh aud Steubenville Railroad.
Messrs. Mitchell and Roberts, the distinguish
ed engineers, who have charge of this Road,
have just finished a general reoonnoisanoe of
the whole route from Pittsburgh to Steuben
ville.
They have found no difficulty whatever in the
way; but, on the contrary, are highly gratified
with the apparent facility afforded by the nature
of the country for the execution of their road.
Two corps of engineers have been fully or
ganized and are about to take the field and
commence the surveys. One will oommence on
Thursday the 2 ,tli mst., opposite Pittsburgh,
and direct its course West, —tbo other will be
gin nt the Ohio nver. opposite Steubenville, and
move Eastward towards Pittsburgh, The Pres
ident aud Directors of the Road have, wo are
informed- adopted measures for efficient prose
cutions of their enterpnze : ami the publio
every where, far aud near, will perceive, by the
present movement, that no doubt can now be
entertained of the speedy completion of the
work.
We congratulate our citizens upon this auspi
cious and vigorous commencement.

It is a Whig hr— That Mr. Buchanan, or any

Great Things
The greatest things now to be seen m Whig pa
pers are the great fists and the GIIKAT seal
preceding the wondorful proclamation of Wm. F.
Johnston, the pettifogging and intriguing Whig
candidate for Governor of this State. And the
history of this proolamatiou is one of the most
consummate pieces of low electioneering schem
ing that is probably on record. We shall give it
in a short time; but will now Btate that John
ston prompted his friends to incorporate a pro
vision in the law of 1849, requiring him to
make suoh a proclamation a few weeks before
the coming election, m order that he might try
to gull the people into a belief that he had done
something worthy of their gratitude. What a
humbug!: !
Meeting of the Cltl iea> of Washing loll
- County, In opposition to tbe Hemp
fleld Railroad 1
A large and very respectable meeting of the
citizens of Washington-county, opposed to the
subscription of two himdred thousand dollars to
the capital stock of the Hempfiold Railroad
i Company, was held in the town hall of the bor
ough of Canonsbfirg, on Thursday, September
18th, 1861.
The meeting being called to order by Gen.
| Wm. S Calohan —on motion, John Johnson,
I Esq., of North Strabane, was ohosen President,
assisted by Andrew Miller, Esq., and Henry
I Morninger, Esq., as Vice Presidents. James
| Ralston and R. Letherman, Secretaries.
On motion, a committee of three was appoint
ed to draft resolutions relative to the sense of
this meeting. Messrs. Wm. McDaniel, Gen.
I Wm. S. Calohan and Craig Ritchie were appoint
ed said committee.
I The committe having retired, the meeting was
I addressed by Hermon Haines, Esq., of North
Strabane, and Henry Morninger, Esq., of Char-
I tiers, in a very forcible and pointed manner,
whioh frequently drew forth the hearty applause
of the meeting.
The oommittee, through its ohairman, Wm.
MoDaniel, Esq., reported the following resolu
tions :
169,806 98
61,600 90
$8,206 08
Whebeab, a bill passed the legislature of
Pennsylvania at its last session, submitting to
tho qualified voters of Washington county at the
ensuing eleotion, to decide bf ballot, whether or
not the County Commissioners ahaU subscribe
on its behalf, the sum of two hundred thousand
dofiars to the Hempfield Railroad: and where
as, we believe it would be a precedent danger
ous to the interests of the county, we therefore
deem it our duty to set forth the reasons which
induoe ns to oppose the contemplated subscrip
tion. We wißh it to be distinctly understood,
that we do not oppose the Hempfield Railroad,
we hope the road may be built, and that it may
prove a profitable investment to the stockholders
that tbe most sanguine anticipations of its ad
vocates may be more than realized, but we enter
our protest against involving the county, for the
following reasons:
Ist. Because the principle is WTong to tax
counties or communities for the benefit of pri
vate corporations, where it will be no benefit to
1 many persons on whom such taxation may
fall-
,$12,200,000
. 11,700,000
$600,000
2nd. It would be setting a dangerous prece
dent, and no valid reasons could be urged againßt
any project that might be started, claiming the
assistance of the county, on account of tho bene
fits which may result to. the community.
Already, a company is chartered to oonstmot
a Railroad from Pittsburgh to Steubenville run
ning through a portion of the county north. Can
we with any propriety authorize a subscription
to the Hempfleld Road, and refuse one to the
Pittsburgh and Steubenville Road?
There are also other projects in contemplation
which in view of a large number of the people
of the county, are of great utility, and would
benefit very muoh the principal parts of the
counties of Washington and Allegheny, and
which hold out strong inducements of profitable
investments. We allude to the contemplated
plankroads leading to Pittsburgh, the great
commercial mart of Western Pennsylvania, and
which after all must continue to be the great
depot of a very large portion of Washington
county. Would it not be of equal interest to
the people of this county to authorize a liberal
subscription to these improvements?
We are not opposed to tho Hempfleld Road,
we hope it will be finished at an early day, be
cause we think it will cause our Pittsburgh
friends to awake to their own interest, and aid
in the construction of a Railroad up the valley
of the Chartiers, to intersect the Hempfleld
Road. , ..
3d. That we regard it as a safe and well-es
tablished principle, that every improvement that
oomes fairly within the scope of individual en
terprise needs not, and generally should not re
ceive public appropriations, and that the Hemp
field Railroad is not a work of such magnitude,
but that it may be readily accomplished by in
dividnal enterprise, if the advantages and profits
of the road are such as claimed by its friends.
4th. That we regard Pittsburgh as the great
commercial mart of western Pennsylvania, and
the contiguous portions of adjoining states, that
it is at least an not of questionable utility for
the community to do anything that will either
direotly or indirectly, retard the prosperity of
Pittsburgh which constitutes both an important
home market, and ready communication with the
East. ... ~
For the reasons above stated, with man) otb
ers that conld be urged with moA force, such
as danger of involving the country in inoreosed
taxation, we oppose the county subscription to
the capital stock of the Hempfleld Railroad, aud
we call upon the voters and tax-payers in overy
part of tho county, to pause and reflect before
they sanction an not which will not only imol.o
ub *n u debt for an improvomeut benofittmg but
a part of the county by a tax upon all, but also
establish a precedent that will lead to taxation
in future for similar improvements.
On motion- resolved. That a committee of
three be appointed to have tickets struck against
subscription of stock." Committee, Messrs.
Gen W 8. Calohan, Craig Ritchie, and Wm.
McClelland, Esqrs.
The meeting was addressed in a most able
and eloquent manner in behalf of the resolutions
by Messrs- Wm. McDaniel, Henry Morningcr,
and Gen- Wm. Calohan. whose strong arguments
and forcible remarks drew forth general ap
plause.
On motion the resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
On motion- resolved, tho proceedings be pub
lished in the county papers.
On motion, meeting adjourned.

for ■tfte'Alomirt& Pcs‘
Messrs. Editors :~ln your paper of Saturday
morning last I find an article re-published from
the “ Banner of the Cross,” and, as it appears,
at the request of solne “highly respectable and
influential members of St. Andrew’s Church.
Now there is no man, however, much df a Chris
tian he may be, but will sometimes err in judg
ment and act accordingly. This idea, it appears
to me, will apply with great force to those “in
fluential members,” who may feel themselves
true Christians besides; for what motive they
could have in re-publishing so purely .abusive.an
article, I cannot possibly divine.
For my own part, I feel hurt; I feel sorry as
a member of St. Andrew’s Church, that such an
article, so arrogant, so self-sufficient and so un
charitable, should have been published at all.
But since it has been published, and especially
since it has been re-published, l deem it not im
pendent to add a short rejoinder. And far be it
from me to write this for the sake of notoriety,
or to engender a discussion, or to hurt the feel
ings of any one. I have no such motives. I
think it is due to the cause of truth, justice and
religion.
The article asseverates without qualification
and without exception, that the lately published
sermon of the Rev. author is the “ most doughy
production ” the writer of the article “ baa met
with.’ 1 It does not say it may be so, but it **
so. Now, “who shall decide when doctors msa
gree ?” for I entertain a different opinion of its
merits as a literary production. Men, too, whom
I have met, who are in the habit of examining a
subject closely, before judging it, have pronounc
ed it very able. So, it will be seen, it may not
be the “ most doughy production ” extant. The
artiole moreover reckons it synonymous with
“Spiritual Knockings and other oddities, (I can
not think what those “oddities” are,) “for which
the • Iron City,’ ” aye and many other cities,
“has been a little remarkable for some time
past” Is not this shameful thiisclassing things
the most sacred with inventions the moat unho
ly ? Even the cheek of the sternest man might
blush at it It really does appear to me that the
article of “A Western Churchman” contains
more internal evidence of having been written
under the strong influence of prejudice and tow
ering passion than any “ production it has ever
been our fortune to meet with.’
The Rev. author of the sermon is charged by
the critic as having “a shallow knowledge of
mental philosophy,” and as being “ Ignorant ot
the teachings and institutions of the Gfanrch,
and then impeaches him with base motives.—-
Now, whether or not the “highly respectable and
influential members" read the article, they were
so eager to have repnblished, I do not know ;
but most assuredly they cannot read without
feeling their pastor’s ability as a scholar ques
tioned or his motives as a Christian impugned.
Even ir it were as the critic states it what could
they gain by having such facto exposed. Ah,
there has been too much prejudice ot work I fear,
too much haste, too little prudent counting of
consequences.
Now, whatever “A Western Churchman may
think of the sermon he has so severely and, in
my opinion, unjustly criticised, l can assure him
that he injures the saored cause he seems so de
sirous of sustaining by imputing unworthy mo
tives to a man be con know but little about and
distorting his views of Bubjeeto the most exalted.
And besides, were he to inquire more deeply in
to what the views of the Rev. author are in re
ference to the “doctrine con tended t for” were
he to listen for a time attentively to the deep yet
luminous disoonrses delivered by him—were he
to weigh with care and compare with diligence,
expressions of mighty import, he wonld certain
ly hear. I very much mistake if*he'wouTd not
discover that, like many a one, he had been in
“too much haste,” and that his own views were
the really “distorted,” and but as the bnd to the
full grown tree. He mi,bt also discover that it
was no evidence against this or that doctrino that
“more infidels and erroristo” appeared than was
wont. Does he not know that to conform stnet
ly to the practical rales laid down in Scripture is
very distasteful to the world, mid that to beliete
all or any of its doctrine* is equally so. And
wore he mathematically inclined and had power
given him to read the hearts of men during a
period of chiefly doctrinal preaching, he might
be astonished tfffind tSSt if infidelity appeared
to have increased ito numbers, so also had the
real believers become proportionally numerous,
which, according to my •• knowledge of mental
philosophy ” is just whiat t would expect.
Again 1 express my regret at the cou.."c pur
sued by those “ influential members. If men
will be dissatisfied in such matters, why this
publicity? If after a fuss in the newspapers,
dissatisfaction is permitted to die away, and no

Gov- Johnaton Reviewed by a Wl.lg.
IfOov Johnston, with his wordy professions
of perfeot acquiescence in, and support of the
compromise, designs notwithstanding, dclibc
ratoly to enoourage an agitation for the amend
ment (how V) of the fugitive slave law, he is -
dangerous plotter: he is bearing the torch to
the door of an explosive magazine, and dolibe
rately endangering the Union. If the State of
Pennsylvania takes such a position of agita
tion it will be almost impossible to prevent
the disruption of the old, and the formation ol
section parties. Every good patriot should ear
nestly deprecate such a result. Gov. Johnston
may bo wise in his generation, and may think
for “electioneering purposes wo may safely en
courage such an agitation, and whistle oh
no danger to the Union. Rut we, Whig South
ern and conservative always, tell him that there
will be danger, that the Whigs of the South
have not fought down the unwise ultraism of
thoir Southern neighbors, to have ono of the
most solemn guarantees of the Constitution, and
ono of the most voluablo of dehoate and sensi
tive rights, secretly hewn at, and covertly at
tasked as an electioneering Jick. Almost any
political Prospero can raise a Btorm, it is not
every one who can allay it. Lot Gov. Johnston
sec to it.
The following is the amendment to the reso
lutions- offered by John M. Scott, Lsq., of
Philadelphia, and winch was lost by being
overslawed tyy i a call for the previous question
after an oxoltmg discussion:
Resolved. That the provision of the Constitution
in reference to the remdition of fugitives held to
service or labor, demand and ahall receive from
our party a faithful, manly and equivocal sup
port.
Had this been adopted, it would have appear
ed as a reflection upon Gov. Johnston for re
taming, unsigned the bill passed at the laßt.ses
sion of the Pennsylvania Legislature, repealing
the obnoxious eeotion of the low which retirees
the use of the jails of the Commonwealth, for
the temporary seouruig of fugitives from labor

To Preserve Ptwti Trees
A correspondent of the National Intelligencer
furnishes the following recipe.
“ Clear the earth away immediately next to
the trunk of the tree, down to near the root,
and then plaoe two or three lumps of unslacke
lime, each about the size of a goose egg, nex
to the tree, and cover it over with a little ear
It will eradicate the worms, and in a short time
give muoh vigor to the tree. ’Eh© me , fl “° ...
bo applied when the trees are young, but wiu
answer as well for old trees, by increasing e
quantity of lime about one third. From my ex
penence. onoe in three or four years, is all a
is necessary to insure a vigorous, healthy
tree. >v - A *
The Difference Between a Fees Negro and
a Fugitive Slave—A darkey, in the ® ou “ part
of this State, stole a fine horse, and soon alter
a bridle and saddle. Riding him into Alton, he
sold him. with Uis equipment, to a sort of smart
tradmg mulatto, for one hundred dollars, re
ceivmg ninety-two dollars down, and then
“ broke for an Abolition settlement, passing
himself off as a fugitive, was furnished with
food- money and moans, by the higher law
folks of the whole route. The unfortunate free
mulatto- after the horse, saddle and bridle, hod
been taken from him by the real owners of them,
started in pursuit. He has had to pay his own
way along, and meets with no assistance to over
take and catch the free negro horse thief who
swindled him. When a free darkey wants to
travel- he should take the Underground Railroad,
and pass himself off as a fugitive—

a hotel reading room, in Philadelphia.
Jfwsrs. Editors. —The following legislative an
ccdote was current about twenty or twenty-five
years ago. There was a member of the Legisla
ture from the city or county of Philadelphia,
whose name was Martin. In the same body,
was a member from one of the Western counties,
I think Allegheny, whose name was Cratt. In
debate, on one occasion, Mr. Martin oonoluded a
speech in reply to Mr. C. with the following
distich:
•4 Larger ships venture more,
Bui liule Croft should keep near shore.’
Mr C. immediately sprang to his feet, and ex

Eve’s Apple Tree.
In an interesting volume, entitled Recollec
tions of Ceylon, it is asserted that Eve's apple
tree, (kadnragha,) is there a common tree. It
is of medium size, its leaves nine inches in
length by three in width, with twenty nrmore
strong fibers branching off from each side of
the central one. Its fruits are attached to a
stalk of considerable length, and are produced
in pairs. The appearance presented by the
fruit is said to be very peculiar, having the
form of an apple of the common kind, with
almost one-third bitten out. It is not edible,
and is regardod as a most deadly poison. When
pnnotured. it exudes a juice or milk so aetd,
that a single drop foiling on the skin immediate
ly raises a blister. “ The outside,” soys the au
thor, "is of o bright yellowcolor, and the inside
a deep crimson, it contains a large quantify of
black seeds, like the pip of an apple, imbedded
in a quantity of scarlet colored pulp. I have
counted fifty eight of these seeds iu a single
fruit. When ripe, the fruit bursts and the
*..n nutsidfl shrivels uo, but Btill
adheres to the stalk for a cousiderable time. —

Converting THE Pope. —About eighty years
a«*o a Scotchman went to Rome for tht purpose
of converting the Pope. The Scotchman was not
content with praying. Ho boldly entered St.
Peter s at high mass, and addressed his holiness
iu a loud voice by the title of a certain lady who
lives not a hundred miles from Babylon. The
Pope who at that time, luckily for the Scotch
man happened to be a sensible mau (Gonganelh)
was advised to Bend him to the galleys, but he
remarked that, the galleys were but a sorry
place to teach people "good breeding, so he
put the honest fanatic into a ship, and sent him
homo again to Scotland. —Leigh Hunt* Table

squares residents that would wash their pave
