This ib an old griev ance, and we have often wondered that govern ment did not do something to remedy it. But, it a till continues, and will continue, until the department alters its mode of giving out con- tracts in the west. The carrying of the mail in that section of the Union, is one of the most -oppressive and insolent monopolies that ever existed. The length of the contractors 1 purses, ‘ Who now enjoy emoluments to any extent they desire, enables them to crush all honOßt compe titors, and force the government to pay them any price they may demand for the service ren dered. • There is an easy way for the Post Office Department to remedy this evil: Give out short - contracts;-and compel the earners to come to time" on all their routes. If this system was adopted, we think that tune-tenths of Frink &, Co.’s subordinates fn the west, would do better ■ service for the people than is now rendered by the plethoric monopoly of which they are the - head. Pittsburgh and Steubenville Railroad. We learn from the Engineers in charge of the surveys for road, that an intermediate line between the Saw Mill fiun and the Chartier s creek routes, has been traced up Cork’s run and thence to the mouth of Robinson’s run, (where they all converge together,) which promises a more favorable result on a shorter distance than - any yet examined. One of the parties is en gaged in locating the line on this route. ' We learn farther, that the principal expen- mental lines and their various branches have ’ been instrumentally surveyed, and that another corps starts to-day to commence the location of the line from Steubenville eastward, and that a fall report on the whole may be expected next month. The Board of Directors of this company have wisely determined that the Engineers shallthave and means to make a thorough ex of the whole oountry intervening be tween Pittsburgh and Steubenvillee. Thin course augurs well for the future pros perity- of the great enterprise entrusted to their nttwaggnymt, and cannot foil to enlist public confidence in is favor. Nothing is to be entered upon in the dark, and we are highly gratified to know that the prospects for a favorable line, at a moderate cost, are so cheering. Pittsburgh is deeply interested in this work, 'ora trust, will take hold of, it > in- earnest, and push it to completion at once. From the' report madg'by the Engineers a few weeks ago, enough is known to satisfy all, that a fairly practicable route, at less cost per mile thanmost of our railroads, exists, and those who are faTnTliay -with the region through which it passes, know that it is rich, densely-settled, and abounding in the best elements of Railroad traf fic. And this, region is determined to have a railroad outlet. Independently of all considera tions arisingfrom the peculiarly favorable po sitioa of as an important link in the great ehnin between Philadelphia and Baltimore in the East, and Cincinnati and St- Louis in the West, we feel well assured that the profit aris ing from the carriage of what may be termed local business—passengers, produce, merchan dize and coal will be a very considerable item. It runs through a region abounding in coal of tile very best quality, and will open up to -the citizens of Pittsburgh and Steubenville, and for the boats on the river, an entirely new and ad- Thntageods coal business. The appreciation of lands along the route that may be chosen, will, on this account, be very great, and we venture to make the prediction that the day is not dis tant, when the coal trade alone, on the Pitts burgh Mid Steubenville railroad, will pay six per cent interest on its cost. But in addition to the local trade, and through trade and travel, whioh this road is likely to , command, the locpl travel, (though most of it } trill pass through its entire length) to be seour cd on account of - the peculiar location of the route, must be very great. . This indeed is wor- , thy of especial consideration. i -There are to be no grades or curves to prevent i express passenger trains from passing safely at the rate of thirty or . fprty. miles an hour. Thirty milesan hour will .probably'be .the usual ■ * spebd." Including’ stoppages, ope hour and a ‘ half is all the time that will bereqnired between Steubenville and Pittsburgh: the distance being about 41'miles. This will beat the fastest boats about three hours.on an average. The people of StenbenviUe and of the veiy populous sur rounding distriots in Virginia and Ohio, and South Western Pennsylvania, may leave Steuben ville after breakfast, be in Pittsburgh at au early business hour, transact an entire day’s bumness, and return to Steubenville to tea. Thousands wilj take advantage qf the facilities thus present ed to visit us, who do not now come, and many hundreds who now see us occasionally, will be our constant and almost-daily visitors. - Compare the trip by railroad with the present river route: By the river route, a Steubenville ijtexcfcant having a day’s business at Pittsburgh must now leave home aboutthe middle of the day— say on Monday. He arrives that evening in'lSttsbnrgh, after business hours; remains and transacts his day’s business on .Tuesday, and returns to Steubenville on Wednesday mom ifffr ‘or during- the night of Tuesday; being -ab sent from home two- nights, and at least, one and hhlf tnisiness days.

Discrimination* We have heard much from our whig friends of late, about a 44 Discriminating Tariff/ We would desire them and all others to look at the following. Let us see what kind of a tariff it is which seems to sit so uncomfortably on the lords of the . spindle. The reports of-the Treasury Department show the following comparison be tween the wing tariff of ’42 and the democratic tariff of ’46, in the following particulars. We begin with the 44 luxuries of life, of which our hard handed farmers feel not the necessity : Luxuries. Whtg Tax. Dem. Tax.

But, after a perusal of it, we find that our neighbor, wbo is full cd compliance, concession and compromise, has nothing to say in favor of it. We have scarcely over seen a docnmeut coming from a Whig Executive, that our ootemporary did not puff. Bat »t appears that Mr. Fillmore filled his message “ so much more full” of bolderdash than is usual from politicians of that stripe, that it was nausous even to the ostrich stomach of the Gazette. We are pleased with his notice of the Mes sage. It shows most conclusively that he does not think much of Mr. Fillmore : and we have some hope that he will make his feeling more apparent hereafter. .-'Elie (tueen of Spain and her Loyal Cuban Subjects, In the Spanish Chamber of Deputies, on the 6th inßt., the following autograph letter of the Queen to the inhabitants of Cuba wsb read, and drew forth loud applause : “My always faithful and devoted Island of Cuba—lt is with lively satisfaction that I have been informed of the testimony and striking proof of loyalty und devotedness to my royal person which you have just given me, and it is an that account that I have determined to address this autograph letter to you, as a solemn proof of my love for you.

Travel between Baltimore and the West, A new mate to Pittsburgh is to bo opened to day from this city by the Susquehanna railroad oompany who have made arrangements with the York and Cumberland, and Pennsylvania. Central railroad companies, by which passen gers from Baltimore are taken through to Pitts-: burgh, with only twenty-etght miles of staging, in the' brief space of twenty five hours The. staging, it is said, commences only forty-two: miles this side of Pittsburgh, and, after passing. over some one and a half miles of new road,, enters upon the well known turnpike, and thnnoe passes over a new plank road to the twelve miles; of railroad running out from Pittsburgh. The lake and canal routes must of coarse soon be olosed for the season, and then this new route, with that by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to Cumberland, thence by plank road and turn pike to West Newton, and on by Slackwater to Pittsburgh, or by turnpike to either Wheeling or Pittsburgh, will be the only reliable routes open and in full operation to the West. This fact folly demonstrates the advantages which Baltimore possesses, through the great improve ments projected by her enterprise, for accom modating the travel from the East to the West— advantages which must be further aud more fully secured to her by the early and certain completion of theße works.

When Abner discovered this propensity in the canine department of this Dutchman’s family, he called A over to his.neighbor’s enter complaint, which mission he accomplished in ther most natural manner in the world. “Wall, Von, yourHlog Blitzen’s been killing my sheep 1” . “ Ya, dat iah bad-bad —he is von goot tog— ya, dat ish bod—” ; “ Sartain, it’s bad, an you'll have tew stop ’im.” “ Ya, dat ish aWph good—but leh we is nicht” “ What’s that yqti say ?

It de cended, and as it did’so, Abner, with character istic presence of mind, gave a sadden jerk and brought Blitzen’s neck overthe log, and the head rolled over the other side. “ Wall I swowt” said Abner, with apparent astonishment, as he dropped the headless trunk of the dog, * that was little too close !’ “ Mine cot!” exclaimed the Dutchman, “ yon shmt cut ’im off de wrong end /” Deatb of William Pitt. Pitt died at a solitary house on Wimbledon Common. Not far off, by the road side, stood, and still stands, a small country inn, where the various parties interested in tho great states man’s life were accnstomed to apply for infor mation, and leave their horses and carriages.— On the morning of the 22d of January, 1806, an individual having called at tho inn, and not be ing able to obtain a satisfactory reply to his inquiries, proceeded to the house of Pitt. He knocked, but no servant appeared ; he opened the door and entered, he found no one in attend ance : he proceeded from room to room, and at length entered the sick chamber, where, on a bed, in silence and in perfect solitude, he found, to his unspeakable surprise, the dead body of that great statesman who had so lately wielded the power of England, and influenced, if he did not control, the destinies of the world. We doubt whether any much more awful example of the lot of mortality has ever been witnessed. A Heavy Judgment. Col. D. D.

I had an operation performed, and the thickening removed, which soon returned and left me iu as bad a condition as before. At this stage of the complaint I made application to several of the most eminent medical men, who informed me that “ my eyes would never gel well.” At this lime I could not distin guish any object. By the advice ef some friends I com menced the use of the Petroleum, both internally and locally, under which my eyes have improved daily until the present lime, and i have recovered my sight entire ly.
