Tlie Central Railroad Depot Bill* A bill passed both houses of our Legislature . „ a few days ago, in relation to the Depot of the '■'Pennsylvania Railroad, in tho First Ward of '‘'■'‘Pittsburgh. We hare been called on several ': ■ v times by persons anxious to learn the nature of ■• ■ . -the hill. It seems to bo generally supposed that ' tbo object of tho company in getting such n law, .. -'. passed was to enable tbem .to take so.much of :’ 1 1 the property of tho oltiions as they desired for a.

That we believe tho end ! nffirmed again andagain by the General Assem-. [ bly—of introducing Tcbgiou into Schools, Acad i emies, and .Colleges, and pervading them with Christian watchfulness, and daily instruction from I tho Sacred Scriptures, is on eminently wise and I salutary measure; that it was adopted only upoh the most mature, deliberate, ..and profound dis-. cussion-of tho whole subject; and that it is well calculated to carry with it tho earnest conviction of the wholo church. 3. That whilo wo can see many and strong reasons why religions instruction nnd influence should not only bo present hut be rendered, effec tive in schools: We, however, regard the condi tion of the student at College, away fronfparcn-, tal care and watchfulness, from the restraints of tho family circle, and exposed to numerous and dangerous temptations, as requiring,, in a vory special manner, tho > illuminating, preventive, quickening und restraining influence of religion. ■4.

Only, near Onancocb, Ya., Jan. 31,1851. Gentlemen :— I have received yours of tho 18th inst., informing-me tbat ‘ ‘ a Convention of , tho Alumni and friends of the Washington Col* lege line boon determined upon, and wiU bo held on tho 11th February next, at 2 o’clock P. M., in the second Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh;" and-asking whether H “ will bo in my power to attend this meeting and address the Convention on the subject of Education?” , In acknowledging tlio compliment of this invi tation, I am pained with sincere and unaffected regret that it is not'in my power to accept it, and meet some of my old associates, and- con tribute a mite at least to promoto tho prosperity of mylovod and honored Alma Mater. There is no earthly enterprise I would sooner render essential aid than 1 would to tins, and no intcr torestin which I would enter with more cordiality and real. To do so would accord; no less with my affections than with; a strong senso of duty, and with a spirit of meeting the necessity of tho times and of tho country in which ; wo live,— Every rcminiconce of Washington College, Penn sylvania, is cherished by me; every association with it has been blessed and holy to mo through life; and I owe to it a debt of gratitude which I would but foobly acknowledge by doing the very best in my power to aid its cause in any way,— Sow weak and feeble, indeed, do I- fool that T am, whilst I reflect how littie l ean do for what deserves so much at my hands! • Thirty-one years ago last October, before I hod reaohed tho i age of 10 years, I went to Washington nnd enter ed the' Sophomore class in College, a wild Vir > ginia youth, not “free free monio a blunder and I foolish notion.” "To me a stronger, indeed it was I I <. i a strango land"—unlike any other I had ever l seen before. Tho wholo community, I found, i was without exception almost a part of tho Col- | lego find of tho Church. Everyman, woman nnd I child was a moral presence in aid of police.— | There was a moral suasion in tho whole at-i mosphero of tho place, and in tho.; whole countenance of tho people there. Preach ing, and prayer, and monition met mo every moment, at evory turn. There was a more Omnipresent eye of Christian, watchfulness,: a more constant frown on the social countenance against vice than I havo overseen orever.folt elsewhere or since. It was not college discipline which restrained us. That. was parental, mild, indulgent, trusting to honor and integrity and troth. You might, for aught of punishment or prevention by: professors, transgress, and yot voudaro not. It. did:not seem; to bo natural "there as at other places—it wos not fashionable yon had no companions—no sympathy—no eoiat. In three years I saw-hut two students who kept each other, company in any aort of dis sipation, and for them there was no hiding place. Poor fellows; dear friends of mine! One of them came-out from tho President’s room one day weeping and saying: “Oh! this I cannot bear— his cone I could bear—if ho would .only - oudgcl mo I could ondure it ;;but I cannot boar his love liko that of a father, and the pain which I see I. inflict on him! ” It was divine chastening, that! And such was tho discipline in and out of tho halls of Washington College. There was no ; place, no time, no Bmile, no countenance, no companionship for vice; in tho ordinary human Senso, to be found. And no whore upon earth was the Evil One; in any sense, bo well, fought by almost every body with all tho weapons of grace.- Town and country were alike, and the tavern' Wns nearly like the-private dwelling.— You might go to themarket place or to tho fields, of tho lovely landscape around, nnd everywhere -alike, as at church on the Sabbath day. you would see a holy walk and conversation—if not that,”# standard of worldly morality higher than Could well be found in any other, locality, There was a County composing a Congressional -dis trict, with scarcely a lock, or a bar, or a bolt on I a fail hoiise door to keep .out a thief by night. There was not a day in the week that some steeple Jh the .town did not toll tho proces sion to church. tea Parties were opened oft with prayer, and-.tho camps of the sugar trees reverberated with hjmns.pf prase-" On the Sabbath days, twice and Ounce we had to. vV -V go ta tlio house of God and hoar scrmona, in (iecd, not fashionable, as at this day—*-they/wcre doctrinal and scriptural, and fall of the prophets and apostles, -ohd fathers of old, and of Chris t crucified—nonsuch asttould be called fasktonable and popular in this' day. ‘And then the pray er mcetinga and the ■wcelc-day Jcctures, and the Bi ble, classes and tho‘-'’Sunday schools, and the ; JSfinging* schools were -Without ceasing, and in -season and out of season. fTho very the town had a vein oT rcßgion in their madness.

WISE. To W. D. Howard,-'A. S; ::: Campbell, Alle gheny City, Allegheny Co., Fa. Tile Oliuter to the Georgtt-Panltidui' Tbo steamer Georgia, whion left Now York on the 6th of February, experienced a galo off Cape Hotteros, when three days out, which store in her bow, and obliged her to put into Norfolk in distress. Some of the passengers.condemn the owners for sending to Boa Buoh on unsenwortby ship, as they asseverate the Georgia was. One of them thus writes: . . It is u matter of astonishment that the Geor gia ever reached a port. There, was no storm. The wind did not even blow a strong gale ; .and, providentially,:that subsided a short time after the sea washed away the bow, or 1,000 .souls mast have perished.. The pnblio will be indig nant on hearing that thisnnmber of people were sent to sea on a rotten vessel. There is no doubt of the fact, however. I havo bad in my hand pieces of the vessel thatcrnmblo like pow der with the pressure of. the fiogers. Bho was so shrunk and stained that a passenger stated; that ho could pick pounds of putty from between the planks of bis berth, on the steorago. A great many persons were injured by the tim bers of the upper deck washing; against them. CoE Taylor, brother to the late President, had two ribs broken in this way. Yet he .had to lay in the cabin sometime, during the confusion, be fore any assistance was rendered him. Ho. is now at the National Hotel, in Norfolk. It is probable that some persons were lost overboard, but it is not certainly known who they were. One man, d passenger, during the greatest alarm, endeavored to. make his way ondeok; through the batch, but, after two or three attempts, failing to open it he got through the sky-light, drew_ a revolver, discharged two of the barrels in the air, and jumped overboard, just forward of the wheel, ; One man bad eight life-preservers on him. Fortunately, the: engine did not give out, al though the waterwas within a few inches of the fire. They had sixteen pumps, which were work ed. These, together with gangs for. bailing, soon relieved tho vessel after tbo sea went down. If one other such' sea as that which carried away her etem had come, probably no one would have lived to tell the story of the Georgia. ■ When the vessel was approaching land, and all danger was over—when the, pilot was on board, (some say he was hot on board,) the passengers, indignant at having been sent to sen in h rotten vessel, convened a meeting fo ekpress .their opinions. Resolutions were drafted. Tho ap pointed Secretary had read them, and was mak ‘ ing some remarks, when the .Captainsummarily and violently put an end to tbo meeting. I have not seen tho resolutions,-but I have,beenOßßured by numbers that thsro was nothing in them that was improper or not warranted by foots. Tho gentleman ossanlted: stated to mo that he was. an ; editor of a California paper, and that tho reso lutlons would yet be published, , Fortunately for qur party, the ladies and child ren knew nothing of the extent of danger, being thoroughly sea-sick. They did hot know that they were enduring anything more thap tho in , conveniences of au ocean trip. Their ignorance was" very considerable modified‘ bliss,. ..At any* ! rate it vies by this means alone that I was ena bled to control them and prevent a .pnnio. lam 1 Satisfied there was not one on board who did not r expect speedy death, Many, in despair, refused . to assist in bailing. • On olosring tbo ship it was ’ discovered that the bow.was much rotted, worm* ■ eaten and built of pine. To make any repairs* 1 thero was not a nidi or a spike to be found; nor • a carpenter on hoard the ship- The crew com -1 mitted a great many depredations, ontting open 1 carpet-bags and trunks, to get money, drink, 1 and valuables. Bat most of the property token ■ was recovered from them. g@* The laborers on the railroad, in this vioini ty/nre on a strike for an advance of wages.,.
