Pittsburgh, Pa.
Monday 'craning, promptly passed an.old ordi
nance authorizing a subscription, on the part of
the city of $250,003, to the capital stock of that
groat work.. This ordinance passed by a vote al
■ most unanimous-~12 voting for and 5 against in
the Soloot Council, and 22 for and 4 against in
the Common Council.
Whatever doubts timid minded folks may have
heretofore entertained ob to the suedtss of the P. &
g. Railroad, this subscription will at once remove
them, a 8 it directly connects the city govem
ment with tho work and insures its completion nt
on early day. - -
Withoutwishiog to disparago the merits of
any otbor Railroad, (foriia truth we are favorabio
to all works of this kind connecting with our
city;) we const say that the Pittsburgh and
■ Steubenville Railroad recommends - itself in a
peculiar manner to the favor of every citizen of
Pittsburgh. It it atmtially a Pittsburgh work,
nnd will' be the means of opening up n direct
and speedy connection between our city and the
Great West, through the heart of Ohio.. :
But because our City Councils have given a
liberal subscription to this work, that is no rea
son why its friends should relax their efforts for
a moment. Indeed, it should have the effect of
spurring them on to more vigorous exertions in
its behalf. Hundreds of persons who are friend
ly disposed, havo not yet subscribed, and they
should ho called upon os speedily as possible,
and solicited to give - their. assistance towards
this Railroad. The Company should have an i
abundance of means provided to have tho entire
Work put under contract between Pittsburgh
and Steubenville, and have it prosecuted with
• tho utmost rapidity.
Wo publish below the ordinance authorising
subscription to the Pittsburgh and Steubenville :
Railroad:.

THE WORK GOES BRAYELY ON l
Rvevjr sincere friend of the Pittsburgh and
Steubenville Railroad will rejoice to learn that
our: City Councils, at their regular meeting on
jjgg* He “eatotprising” paper made its ap
pearance yesterday, but did not .lay before Its
readers theYoll telegrapbio despatches which sp
hahjiosxocs whiogert.
■ We have endeavored, for some time .past, to
keep oilr readers posted up as to the,position of
the ‘'universal whig part/,”, bnt-.th^ir.anti-gre
garious notions appear to indicate that the'whole;
herd will-bo scattered hetbre they caij resolve on
holding a National Canveption. i Thcyare “mix
ed up” in a most lamentable manner, and we arc
apprehensive th&tnur panacea can be concocted
tomuderate the chivalrio feelings of the south
ern wing of the party, or remove the ascidity that
rests on the stomach of that of the north.
' The whig organs of onr own city have declared
in favor of forming a “Northern Whig Party.'!-—,
They- are disgusted with the inßolenoo of their
southern allies, and they now wont to set np for
themselves, and foree sou (hern whiggerylo como
to the notions of Seward, Scott & Co., The Bouth
don’t like this' arrnngetaent, or'the dictatorial
tone m which they, are addressed by the whjgs
of the north: bat there ore some of the organs of
all the chivalry willing to go it blind for Scott,
the favorite of the abolitionists. The Richmond
IPfiiy says:
“IYd will frankly confess that we don’t care
wbo votes for our candidate when nominated.—
We wont nil the votes we can : get—the : more the
better.’’
Agnin:
“As to General Scott, we have more confidence
in his position—in his conservative impregnable
position—than-we could have in ten thousand
pledges.” ■ ’
This sounds very much like their declaration
in 1840, that they A would support their candlr
dates' “without-a why or wherefore.”, The
•Whig has always been understood to be a Fill--
more paper, bnt at present it is willing to bo
agrceable tonny whig who can get votes, with
out any consideration as to his competency.
Bat, we are apprehensive that it will be dif
ficult to cram the “ without awhy or wherefore"
poll y down the political gullets of the Southern
whigs.
The Petersburg Intelligencer says:
“ Nothing less than a dlfltinctpuMie pledge to
support and enforce the compromise law, and to
resist the ; doctrine of intervention, can secure
onr support,: and we believe we may, with great
truth, say the support of the wbigs of the South;
“If General Scott-fails to make his opinions
publicly known,” continues.the Petersburg In
telligencer, suspicion wiUinevitably arise that
his silence is attributable to a desire on his part
to conciliate tbeSewarditesand other faotionists
in the State of New York, and the North gen
erally. Sach a suspicion, once aroused, would
be utterly* fatal- to* General Scott for any other
candidate) in the Soath. We conscientiously do
not believe that Gen. S. or any other candidate,
laboring under such suspicion, could carry a
single county in the South, much less a State.”
The New:Orleans Crescent indulges in stronger
language when it makes the following declara
tion: - -
<• Burying one’s self alivo would not seem to
ns a very agreeable procedure; but our Whig
friends; if they tnke up General Scott, will do
nothing mote ndr less than adopt this suicidal
course. Irresolute, indecisive, unexpressed, and
wilfully silent upon the questions involved in
the compromise measures, Gen. Scott hat become,
thoroughly odious to the citizens of the Southern
portion of our confederacy. It is said that he is
in favor ot, and ttathe even assisted to pass,
the series of: compromise measures. Bat this,
‘it is said,' will not answer; ho; should speak,
though we’apprehend that he has too long re
mained. silent under the requisition of pnblio
sentiment.
The Lexington (Ky.) Observer say:
-“ But General Scott mutt upon the Compromise
stand right before the country. When we speak of
the Compromise, it is well known that we allndo
to tho duo execation of the fugitivc-slave-law.
That is now the only one of tho series in contro
versy. The rest are passed, settled, gone. It is
upon this subject thattbe slaveholding States de
mand an unequivocal position. Now, this touches
do man’s notions about slavery. So long as we
live under tho federal constitution,the injunction
mast be observed; for it is ns plain Os human
language can make it. We have a right, then, to
ask that there shall be no suppression of vietes in
regard to this subject. .
“ President Fillmore has acted, and the coun
try knows bis position. It is bnt fair that all
ehall stand in the position of unreserve before the
people upon a subject of snob peculiar delicacy
as this.”; '
This is decidedly Fillmorelsb. Saott cannot
shine in Kentucky: It is the homo of Henry. Clay,
and tile friends of that great Statesman cannot
forget that be teas prevented from reaching the
goal of his ambition through the instrumentality
of ScottT—From present indications, it is evident
that there is no hope for Scott in the Whig South,:
while Fillmore is even with him in tbe.North.
Tho fact is, Qen. Scott’s friends aro attempting
to play the canning game of gettingcontrol of the
Government without any pledge to abide by Its
constitntional enactments. All they want is the
privilege of power, and, to use n common ex
pression, they will go it with a perfect lose
ness ” when they hove it. .
The competency of an Executive is not a ques
tion with them; in fact they do not dosirc a man
who is capable to discharge the duties of bis po
sition In a proper manner. :If each a man hod
been at the head of affaire for tho last three years,
the people could not have been Galphinized to
tho wofal extent they have had to suffer.
Whig politicians do not desire an eminently
good and competent man for the office of Presi
dent. A mere nose of wax will suit their wishes
better; for such a thing they can mould to their
own purposes, and make it assume anyehape
they may choose to give it.
But this northern and southern whig party is
a proposition that should be defined; and if it is
seriously made; the position of the respective
factions should be fixed. We read in cne of -our
ootemporsries a proposition for.tho formation of
a whig party north, to cheek-tbe arrogance of
the , whig party south.: "Will it favor us with a
development of' the principles or platform on
whloh it would' organize each a party? We
would like to see it; itwouldbe useful and in
struotive, and would serve to inform the people
bpw truly regardless whiggery is of the safety of
the peace of the country, or tho preservation of
the constitution, when either may interfere with
its mercenary views.

CITY COUNCILS' TAXES.
We have no opportunity to lay before our nu
merous readers the grave proceedings' of our
venerable and javcnilo 4 < City Fathers,” unless
we would do so at a most unprofitable-expense-
There are various ordinances part in.whjch every
tax-payer is interested; but bya wise regulation
or the whig majority, it is declorcd, in effect,'that
the democrats: must not see them, or if they de
sire to know what thoy are, they must hunt up a
whig paper to learn the law and the amount of
taxes that their whig rolore require them to pay.
At a late meeting of the Councils, it was voted
to tax the peapio to on exorbitant amount to push
forward a commchdablo project of internal im
provements, and we suppose the first informa
tion that the readers of the ooly-democratio pa
per iu the city will receive, will ho announced to
them by the tax collector when ho calls to collect
the additional assessment levied by those who
will not permit him to know when extra taxes are
orawded upon him, or what the taxasare for.
The spirit of whig legislation is to keep infor
mation from the peoplo ntlargo,.aed to make the
most they canoat: of the power they have the
moons to : wield. They do not deßire that their
actions should qpme to the light of open day,
else why did they confine the informational their
municipal enactments to tho whig moiety of our
population? -
We mny bo wrong in aecusing .tho whigs.of a
design to tax tho people, withouHettlng them
have a say-so in the matter, or the. privilege of
reading it in the paper they most desiro to pe
ruse; but it is too evident that such has been the
result since the organization of the present Coun
cils, and we think that before they serve oat their
time, their constituents will feel the necessity of
a ohange. ■.. .
BgJ*, The firet steamboat which run in the
Upper Mississippi, it isßtated; was the Virginia,
a Wheeling boat, .which was at Eort Armstrong,
May 23d, 1828, and afterwards went up to. Gale
no. This was nine years, it is said, before the
last Buffalo were killed east of the Mississippi,
on Buffalo Creek, at tho foot of : Lake Pepin, in
1832. The first steamboat on-tho Ohio river
was the Orleans, built at Pittsburgh : in 1811.—
She was built ship fashion, witirport holes, and
was painted sky blue. Her cabin was in the
hold. After going over the Rapids, she had
not steam power sufficient to take her back-
The next two boats,- the Etna and Vesuvius, were
built by a company, who had a charter for .the
exclusive navigation of the Ohio and Missis
sippi rivers for fourteen years, and renewable
after that.
Bloody Fight In Kentucky.
On Friday last, at Danville, Ky„ two brothers,
Shcloy and Frank Cowan, had a bloody rencon
tre nbout a young lody, sister of tho Shelby’s.
Cowon was charged with sending her an anony
mous letter. Meeting iu the streets, pistols were
drawn, and Shelby fired first. Cowan had three
single barrel pistols. Shelby fired all bis barrels,
one taking effect in the fleshy part of Cowan’s
thigh. The third fire from Cowan took effect
on Shelby, the ball passing in on one sido of
his neck and out of the other, lodging is his Blurt.
Shelby staggered in a store where his brother
Alfred was and fell. The latter thon seized a
bowie-knife, advanced on Cowan;, and threw it at
him without effect. Cowan then pursued Alfred
with a bowie-knife in band, when several persons
interfered, and no further harm was done.

hill, were swept off. Men are busy in laying the
track on tbo side hill, and tho cars will pass to
day. On the track of tho Pittsburgh and Cleve
land Railroad, the earth was cut away from un
der tbo tics in several places, all however between
the city and tho outer depot. A day or two will
ho requirgl to repair these damages. ' Tho Pitts-,
burgh train this morning started from the outer ,
depot,' and n most formidable array qf omnibus?
bos, carriages, cabs, drays, &c., wore in requisi
tion to convoy, passengers, baggage uud freight
from town to the depot.
The Lake Shore Railroad wasßomowbatdsmn
ged, but will bo in order by Monday.
At the junction of Pittsburgh nnd Eagle streets
the water cut a chasm entirely across Pittsburgh
street, and exoavated a-gultcy both wide and
deep, from - the brow of the hill to the canal. We
noticed several bad cuts on Lake, Sheriff, uud
other streets. - ■ .
Tho Cuyahoga rose rapidly, flooding muoh of
tho iow land on its south-west side, and carrying
away the pontoon bridge; which effected a land
ing opposite the foot of Bath street.
- Sir. 8. V. Maleomb, a'gardener who resides
three miles from the city, on the Kinsman road;
suffered a loss of about $225, from tho bail,
which broke three thousand lights of glass in bis
hot houses, and destroyed moßt of his early vege
tables. ■ ■■'■ .... -
During the storm, a new briok budding which
was being erected on Euclid street, by Mr. J. R.
Taylor, was Struck by lightning, and the side
walls prostrated. Not .a joist, window frame or
stick of timber was left standing. The building
was ready for roofing, nnd -Mr. Taylor’s loss will
bo between $2OO and $BOO. TUs supposed that,
a large quantity of iron ore in tho ccliar attract

Desperate Conflict. .
The New Orleans Picayune has the particulars
of a bloody and fatal recontre, .which occurred
on the shore of Lake Bonebartraio, on the 12th
ult, between two men who quarreled about some
fish, in which they were traders:
“ From the testimony before fho Coroner, it
appears that the conflict was ono ,of the most
desperate which could possibly occur, - It was a
sort of duel or gladitorinl combat. Both men
retired to a part of the lake shore within about
three hundred,yards of the end- of the railroad,
and the first notion on thoirpart whioh was ob
served by these who looked upon them, was the
throwing of their knives upon tho ground.—'
Pastor said! that Pages bad tho best knife, and
Pagas then told him that he would exchange.—
They did- then-exchange knives; Pagas taking
that of Pastor, whioh was a long bladed clasp
knife, and a very formidable looking weapon,
and Pastor took that of Pagas, whioh is a hejvy
BoWie knife, carved,at the top to a sharp point.
Pastor inflioted the first wound on the breast of
Pages, who dealt him a severeblow on the neck,
■wliicb cut him in a severe manner., Pastor rush
ed again upon Pages, but the latter pushed him
aside;' ond he fell; la the meanwhile the clasp
knife whioh PagOs held, dosed upon his fingers;
hnd before Pastor regained o standing position
he opened it again,. When, Pastor rose to_ his
feet and rushed upon Pagas for the last time,
and 'received a wound- in the back, the knife
penetrating the Jungs, ; The unfortunate man
then feeling himself incapable of contending any
longer with tho kQife,..drew a pistol, and endea?
voting to cock it fell again. Ho was . about ,to
rise again,'however,- with the pistol still in his
hand, but, Pagas ran tff some distance, and he
w&s too weak to fire at him. Ho staggered after
him some distance; to a fisherman’s house,-and
fell down and expired.”

as an incident which , occurred lately . uJ“PEPH
Silesia. Oncnight thero appeared to a wealthy
widow a messenger-from-StPeter, surrounded
by a stipernataral glory, and holding in Hs fcana
a draft for 100 thalers, -payable .to hearer, town
on hcr ; by her lately deceased husband, to - meet
the: fees and other expenses attendant on his-'en
toy iutelieayem;-The affectionate widow, anxious
to do all bopor to her hushand’a signature, and
-to facilitate his entrance into paradise, hastened
to look up the money, but, as she unfortunately
had.only 70 thalers by. her, was compelled tore
quest Ills nngelsbip. would call, again to-morrow
for the balance. - Tho clergyman of tho place,
on being consulted the next day prevailed ott the
widow to, allow him and the magistrate, to wit
ness the payment, so.that when the heavenly
messenger appeared again nooording to. appoint-.
ment, he was roughly seized by. profane -hands
and Incarcerated; but the strongest part of all is
that the next morning hla. prison was found
empty; and his mode of escape remains a se
cret.
