Good Z.uo!e and Honor to • PUtiburffher.
Our citizens will doubtless bo pleased .to learn
(hat a well known member of an old and re
spected Pittsburgh family-has, by his own in
genuity, enterprise and -perseverance, won for
i himself a name and a fortune in England.
| Isaac- Gregg, '■Esq'., l .- a grandson of John
Ormsby, is tho person wo mean.
Wo hope we Bhall be pardoned by the numer-
J OUB partieß interested, for making some mention
I of tbeir atSceßtrai name, and singular fortunes.
But we think the public will feel some in
terest in the facts that have lately come to our
knowledge.. • "
John Ormsby, who died in this neighborhood
iii 1801; was a younger son of a noble family in
Ireland. Ho emigrated to this country in early
days, and came-to Pittsburgh as commissary of
Forbes’ army, when Fort Da Quesnp -was oap
tnred. At his death ho left a large and valuable
property in r the vioinity of onr city, now com
posing the principle parts of tho flourishing
j Boroughs of South Pittsburgh, Birmingham,
and East Birmingham, immediately opposite
Pittsburgh ; and nlso several valuable traots of
coal land.
Isaac Gregg, one of the grandsons of Mf.
Ormsby, and one of the twelve or thirteen heirs,
commenced business life while quite young ; and
his nnccßtral property being unproductive, ho
learned the trade of machinist. For want of
ready means, and from other causes, he did not
engage regularly in tho business. After various
undertakings, which involved his property Bome
wbat, ho applied himself to the perfection of an
invention of a steam brick machine, in which his_
mechanical genins enabled him to foresee a val
uable result. After a number of years of severe
and fruitless labor of body and mind, and after
expending a largo amount of money, suocess
has at length crowned his efforts.
Tho best mechanioal skill had beon applied to
the same object, and largo sums expended for
tho same purpose, in vain. Against all hope,
and the advico of hiß friends, Mr. Gregg porso
vered, and oucoecded. From tho loss of friends,
and the charge of folly, and even insanity, to
which so many inventors havo been subjected,
Mr. Gregg has not been exempt. His private
fortune, his, family and friends have been in
volved to some extent in tho consequences of
his perseverance. But we are not at liberty to
make public a family history.
Mr. Gregg, after securing a patent for the
United States; went to England, and secured a
patent there for Great Britain. At Liverpool
ho found ;nn old friend and schoolmate, James
McHenry; a native of this county, now one of
the most wealthy, and enterprising merchants of
Liverpool. Mr. McHenry, wfi are informed,
kindly advanced tho means necessary to enable
Mr. Gregg to construct iis machine, and prove
its value by a thorough add praotical test. The
result baa been a perfect and profitable triumph.
The best skill and jndgment of England have
pronounced the invention •' incomparable," and
incapable of material improvement One of the
largest and wealthiest building firms in that
country has already closed a bargain with Mr.
Gregg for the one-half of the patent right of all
England, for tho Bum of £10,000; nearly
$50,000.
Mr. Gregg -thus pockets $50,000 for half hie
right in, the British Empire. He still retains,
of coarse* tie one-half the patented right in
that kingdom ; and the one-half the right in all
other foreign countries; and the whole right in
the United States. Oar readers can thus form
some estimate of tho value of this invention; and
of the fruits of Pittsburgh inventive genius
abroad.
Mr. Gregg’s success, won by hie own ingenni- I
ty, industry, and determined perseverance, seems
now to he placed beyond a doubt, and we con.
gratulate him and bis friends upon this fortunate
result of his untiring efforts.
In making known the facts above stated, wo
- hope we have given no offence* to the parties in
terested- These facts came to oar knowledge;
and as Pittsburgh enterprise has thus secured
an important triumph abroad, wo felt justified
in making it known. We love the old Smoky
City, which has our home for many years ;
and will record all its triumphs at home or
abroad.
We will conclndo with one question: If the
one-half of tho right of this patented invention
in Great Britain is Bold for $50,000, with an as
sumption of all ooßts in scouring the patent right
in other, countries, except the United States'
what will the whole right in tho United States,
and half tho right, freo of expense, l everywhere
else, be worth?
BAD ADVICE.
One or two of the Cincinnati editors aro advi
sing that Ohio raise an army to go and shoot
tho Brians. Let tho rogue who gives that ad
vice bo compelled to enlist in that army, and
place him in the front ranks of the battle.
Couid such counsels prevail, we would have
war directly. Just think of it. Ohio and Penn
sylvania, good friends for haif.a century, sud
denly declare war, not on the “ Eastern ques
tion,” but on the cate and gingerbread question.
The Erst measure on our part would be to Btop
the ooal trade, and freeze the Cincinnatians half
to death Ohio retaliates by confiscating tbe
: Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. Pennsylvania
retorts by blowing up tho Lake Shore road. Tbe
Queen City rallies her hundred steamers and
starts for Pittsburgh, her editors acting ns pilots.
The hundred steamers of the Iron City meet
them at Beaver, and a battle so desperate Ca
nnes, that the fight of the Kilkenny oats would
never ho mentioned again. Ohio raises an im
mense army. Pennsylvonia calls out her four
hundred thousand fighting men. But it is too
shocking to think of. Wo can pursue the sub
ject no further. We have gone so far only to
show a few Cleveland and Cincinnati editors that
iwe can write nonsense as fast as they can.
! The people of Ohio and Pennsylvania are
friends now, and will continue so, we doubt not,
for a long time to come. We hope tho difficul
ties at Erie will be settled satisfactorily to all
parties: and we hope law and order will soon
prevail nt Erie and elsewhere. We have no
doubt the intemperate and abnsive language of
a few Buffalo, Cleveland and Cincinnati editors
has done more mischief than all other causes
combined.
CANDIDATE yOR MAYOR.
j James C. Pettmbew is the Democratic candi
date'for Mayor. Onr party has presented a
young man as well as the Whigs. Mr. Petti-
Crew has experionoo in the Mayor’s offico, and
understands its duties. If he makes as good a
Mayor as he did formerly Mayor’s clerk, all the
people will be well satisfied.
’ Again, if he makes as good and popular a
Mayor os his father did some years ago, ho will
satisfy all. His moral oharaetcr and habits are
irreproachable, and he is a favorite with all who
know him. Wo think Mr. Volz will have to be
very busy to get ahead of our candidate. Ia
fact we do not intend to let him get ahead at all.
Wo need a Democratic Mayor next year, and tho
pooplo.hnvo now an opportunity of voting fornu
unexceptionable man.
CARRIER’S CARO FOR 1854.
Onr carrier’s card is a neat and useful thing,
and wo donbt not will bo in general demand
among oar readers. It contains tbe Calender
for 1854; a list of the Banks with their di-'
rectors and officers; the Insurance Companies,
bankers, and a number of manufactures’ and
merchants’cards. It will be a useful thing in
every office, counting room and dwelling. We
hope onr citizcnß will supply themselves liber
ally; not only for their own benefit, bnt also for
tbe benefit of the oarriers of the Post. Mr.
John A,- Forgeus, the carri or of the Pest Is entitled
to a benefit wo think.

A RICH HSTEHA.UV COMPANY
The Boston Athenmum is rapidly becoming
one of the most richly endowed and splendid
literary sooieties in the worlds . The Perkins
family, one of the riohest of “the solid men of
Boston,” gave to this Society $Ol,OOO. Other
large and liberal: donations were received from:
different persons, until the Sooiety were.oblo to
erect a tibrary-Bailditg at a cost ,of $136,000,
on a lot of ground that cost $55,000. The li
brary contains 60,000 volumes of books. In the
upper story of the building is a hall or gallery
for paintings and statuary. Last spring, the
company, :in order to inorease its mennß,\issued
400-shares of new.stock at. $3OO per share.
Eleven men immediately took eaoh-$B,OOO worth
of this new stock; and the balance has since
boon all disposed of; thus raising $120,000 to
payoff some existing liabilities, and form Ihe
basis of a permanent fund for the benefit of the
Sooiety. - It is designed greatly to enlarge the
Library, and the number of paintings and statu
ary ; and it will doubtless, ere long, become a
world-renowned institution.
Verily, Boston seems determined to vindicate
her claim to the appellation of “ the Athens of
America.”
Fran Deer. —We saw last evening Bix Of the
finest Deer that have ever boon brought to our
city. They can bo seen at the corner of Fifth
and Wood streets. Wo hope that the gentleman
who has received them, will keep them iu our
city, and afford our epicures a taste of some of
I the best venison they have ever tasted.

In accordance with appointment, I addressed
the following noto to J. Edgar Thompson, Esq.;
and a similar one to the Oannl Commissioners;
to wh.eh I received the following replies. That
of the Canal Commissioner will no doubt merit
the approbation of overy patriotic American citi
zen ; and that of Mr. Thompson is foil evidence
to me that the Railroad Company do not put the
Old Soldiers of 1812 on a par with City Coun
oilmen, Editors, and others, connected with
newspapers, who have no trouble in securing
free passage, &o. However, the company have
the right to bestow favors on whom they please;
and no doubt r policy points to those that have
the power to reoiprooatc. I was not, nor am I,
a delegate, therefore am not personally interest

“usual rates of discount allowed to parties at
tending conventions;” although I have very fre
quently traveled as a delegate to National and

Smaee Notes is the District of Coebmbia.
—Tho bill recently introduced, by Mr. Adams,
in the U. S. Senate, provides, among other
things, that if any person or persons, body poli
tic, or corporation, within tho District of Colum
bia, Bhall make, emit, issue, utter, sign, draw,
or endoYso any bank note, promissory note, or
any instrument of writing for the payment or
delivery of money, or other valuable thing, of a
less denomination than five dollars, to be used
as paper onrrency, or as a circulating medium,
either in lion of money, or of any other onrrency,
shall forfeit and pay the sum of ten dollars for
every each piece of paper thus manufactured
and issued; one half to tho nso of any person
who shall euo therefor, aud tho other half to the
county of Washington. It is made unlawful to
offer to pass such paper, under n penalty of hot
less than fivo nor more than ten dollara for every
offence; the fine to bo divided in like manner.
If any person or corporation shall fail to redeem
their small notes, on presentation, in gold or
silver, such parties neglecting or refusing, shall
forfeit and pay the sum of twenty dollars. Tho
fourth section expressly gives to justices of tho
peace, in the District of Columbia, jurisdiction
to try and adjudicate every such oase, the for
feitures under tho hot to be recovered in on notion
of debt, in the name of any person who shall sue
therefor. There are other stringent provisions
in the bill, calculated to drive entirely the irre
deemable small notes oat of existence.— Sentinel.
B©* A deoision by a justice of the peace in
Detroit, againßt the constitutionality of the law,
recently passed by the Legislature of Michigan,
prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, has
caused no little excitement in that State. Jns
tico Bagg, affirming that justices of the peace
are a part of the judiciary of the Btnte, sworn
to support its constitution, which is the supreme
law, asserts his obligation to pass judgment up
on the constitutionality of the aots under which
every citizen may be prosecuted. He therefore
decides in respect to tho law prohibiting the sale
of intoxicating drinks, tbatitisnot constitutional
in two respeots: first, that it was not passed by
the Legislature, to which legislative power is ex
clusively granted, but was submitted to a vote
! of the people; and second, that it violates the
I clause of the constitution, forbidding the Legis
lature to give any license or permit for the sale
of liquor, inasmuch as it does give such license
to certain township and village boards.
Goako. —As the result of an investigation, re
cently made, tho British Admiral on tho Paoifio
station (Moresby) writes to his government that
the total quantity of guano on the Chinoha Isl
ands, Peru, at tho present date, is only §8;GOO,-
000; and that, at tho present rate of exporta
tion, it will be exhausted, i. e. so much of it as
would pay freight, in eight or nine years. Tho
outer Lobos Islands, whither Mr. Bonßon’s ves
sels were sent to load; will doubtless be opened
to commerce, when the supply at the Chincha
Islands is exhausted.
ggy New counterfeit threes on the City Dank
of New Haven, unlike tho genuine, are in circu
lation in Hartford, Conn. Also counterfeit tenß
on tho Deep River (Conn.) Bank, whole appear
ance unlike the gonuine. Also tens on the Litch

has no tens signed by J. McAlister, cashier. A
new counterfeit, purporting to bo ass bill on
the Boston Bank, is . wholly unlike the genuine,
and purports to be engraved by Danforth, of
New York.
Sentenced to the Chain-Gang. —John Dil
lingham, an old citizen of Cincinnati, formerly
discount clerk itt the Lafoyette Bank, has been
eonViotcd of fraud, and sentenced to the chain
gang for two months. The charge against him

The following, from a letter dated Jerusalem,
May 16th, 1858, has teen sent by Mr. James
Cook Richmond for publication:
“ I was spending o.couple of days in Artas,
the hoTlua chmus at the monks, and probably the
garden inolosed of the Canticles. in which I was
told there was a kind of tunnel under the Pool
of Solomon. I went, and found ono of the most
interesting things that I hare seen in my travels,
and of which no one in Jerusalem appears to
' have heard. I mentioned it to tho British Con
sul, who takes great interest-in these matters,
and to tho Rev. Mr. Nicplayson, who has been
hero more than twenty years, and. they have
never heard of it. At the centre of the eastern
side of the lowest-of the three pools, there is an
entranco nearly closed up; then follows a vault
ed passage some 60 feet long, leading to^ a cham
ber about 16: feehsqaarej and 8 feet high; also
vaulted’; and from this*there, is a passage, also
arched under the pool, and intended to convey
the water of; aispring, or of the pool itself, into
tho aqnednot which leads to Jerusalem, and is
now commonly .attributed to Pontius' Pilate.
This arohed passage is six feet high, and throe
or four feet wide. Eaoh of the two other pools
has a similar arched - way, which has hot been
blocked up, and one of whioh I saw by descend
ing first into the rectangular well. The great
point of interest in this discovery is this. 1 It
has now been thought for some years that the
opinion of the invention of the arch by the Ro
mans has been too hastily adopted. The usual
period assigned to tho arch is about n. o. 600.
We thought we,"discovered a Contradiction of this
idea in Egypt, but.the present ease is more sat
isfactory. The whole of the long’passage of 60
feet, the chamber 16 feet Bqnare, the two doors,
and the passage under the pools in each case are
true ‘ Roman' arohes./with a perfect keystone.
Now, as it has never been .seriously doubted that
Solomon bnilt the pools ascribed to him, and to
which he probably refers in Ecclesiastes ii. 6,
the arch must of course have been well known
about or before the time of the building of tho
first temple, n. o, 1012. The ‘ sealed, fountain,’
which is near, has the same orohes in several
places; but this might have been Roman, But
here the arched‘(waya pass probably tho wholo
distance under the Spools, and are therefore at
least coeval with-tfem, or rather built before
them, in order to convey the - water down the
valley, ‘to water therewith the wood thatbring

least, that the perfeotkcy-st.no Roman arch was

PARTICULARS OFTIIE MtJRDER In SYRACUSE.
—A most awful tragedy oconrred in our city this
morning. A man named William C. Carson, a
shoemaker by ; trade, kilted his wife by stabbing
her in the.heart with a bntoher’s knife. Two of
the wounds with the knife were inflicted, one
over the right eye and the other in the right
breast. Either wound would have produced
death. The woman died instantly.
The occurrence took place at the house of the
wife’s mother, in Jefferson street, near Forman
Park,’ adjoining Carson’s residence- The cause
of the tragedy wae jealousy. The woman had
deserted her husband "during the past summer,
and beon off on tho canal with another man.
After the death of his first wife last summer,
Carson became acquainted with this woman and
hired her as his house-keeper, and was subse
quently married to ber. She owned a canal
boat, half of whioh he bought of her, an! went
with her one or two trips on the canal. Subse
quently ebe discharged him and took another
man as her companion on hoard the boat, and
one or two’ violent quarrels took place from time
to time between Carson and his wife’s paramour.
The doße of navigation caused the boat to day
up, and the wife, With her husband pro Urn,
went to live at her mother’s, which was extreme
ly aggravating to Carson. , Ho entered the
mother’s house this morning, about ten o'clook,
and found his wife in company with her para
mour, and asked her if she would go home with
him. She said “ho.’’: “Then,” said he, “I
command you to go homo with me.” Again she
refused. He then drew the knife from bis side
pocket and stabbed her as mentioned.
After the fatal act he went straight to the po
lice office and told Justice Cuddcback that ho
had killed his wife and wanted him to take care
of him. The Justice, not believing him, as he
bad been in the habit of threatening about bis
wife frequently around the office, told him "to
clear out. He insisted on havingoommitted tho
murder, and itpplored the Justice to take charge
of him. Officer Gifford was then sent to the
house, and found the statement confirmed. He
arrived there before iho body was cold.—Syra
cuse Republican, Dec. 17.
A gentleman of Danbury, Ct., by the name of
Morgan, has recently invented a ball, which is
so constructed that when it is discharged from
tho cannon or.rifle, and strikes its mark, it ex
plodes and does a second execution with a charge
of shot contained within the ball.
In New York city there are 220 public schools,
attended by 130,517 scholars. The Bnm ofsBoG,'

A large meeting of foreigners was held in N.
York, on Thursday night, for the purpose of
raising funds to organise "several companies of
foreigners, to aid Turkey in tho war with Rus--
sia.
A company has been formed in New York for
the purpose of developing the value of ltiohard
Montgomery’s patent for making corrugated
boiler plate. Tho patentee claims that rolling
the iron in Bmall curves or arches, instead of in
places, gives it largely increased strength. .
On Thursday morning, Borne burglars entered
the counting room of the Jonesville Manufactu
ring Company, in Templeton, Mass., and robbed
the safe of $7,100, $4,000 of whioh was in bills
on the Mechanics’ Bank, Worcester.

The Union denies the truth of the rumor that
Mr. Gadsden, our Minister in Mexioo, had en
tered into a negotiation on the subject of tho
Garay grant, or that he bad any instruction on
tbe subjeot. It appears that General Wood, of
Pennsylvania, the agent of the Garay Company,
accompanied by the Minister, had brought the
subject before Santa Anna, and met with a
rebuff.
Female Shoemakers.— lt is stated that in
Washington somo of the most rcspectahlo and
independent women, married and single, engage
in the shoe-making business ns. an agreeable
pastime, as well as from motives'of economy.
“The gaiters whioh cost us $3 at the stores,”
writes a female, “ cost us one day’s labor and 60
cents for the best material bought at retail. One
of us have made tivo pair of ladies’ gaiters in a
week. Many of us make shoes for ourselves
and children, without neglecting other household
duties. On Capitol Hill alone there are thirty
ladies thus employed, and about two hundred in
the oity. We find it very easy to make two pair
of children's shoes iu a day, and they oost us
here $1,25 a pair.”
Tub Mason Will Cabe Decision. —A few
weeks since, a feigned ißsue was tried m tbe

of the estate,) and a verdict obtained in their
favor. Motion was made in the General Term
of tho Supreme Court lor a new trial. The lat

every vestage of this dreadful disease in less time'than any
othair remedy, and at less costor inconvenience to the pa-,

The thousands of certificates in the hands of the proprie

and boyor \ll doubt, that Kren’s Prraoizmi is-a medicine
of no con. an value, notonlyosa local remedy in 'Parcly*

the effect was astonishing; it threw the poison to the surface

of my people are affected with indigestion and an inaction
of the liver; the same of myself and wife, before taking
your Pxtcolccm, os ltocn Oil. Wo took several bottles— ;
two or three each—about a year and a half ago, and we
have never enjoyed so good health for years as we have
since that time. I had not taken a single bottle, before
that fallness of the stomach which so distresses the dys

time. My wife was also relieved from n chronic disease of
the liver, which had been of several years standing, by the
use of yonr Petroleum.
