He knows how to make money enough to fill the United States Treasury In a year. He bought nearly a hundred thousand old go?- eminent muskets some time ago. He is now re boring them, and converting them into Minio rifles. The mußkets cost about $2,60 apiece. He sells the rifleß at $l5. If Spain ehoald in *ult this country while George was President, he would be found at the head of an American army, encamped before the wails of Madrid, in three months. He could almost knook down John Ball, or any other ball, with one blow of his fist. He is a terrible man—is George Law. He is a millionaire, too; rich, liberal, aotive, Wide-awake, go-ahead, and thoroughly American In heart and soul. But big George can’t bo President. He lacks experience and intelli gence in elate affairs. Bis chances for a nomi nation are not good. Bat the following letters look as though ho had some chance: “ Habbisbdbo, Pa., Feb. 24, 1855. “The'Speaker of the Honse of Representa tives and a large number of members of the two Houses of this Legislature have addressed a let ter to George Law, of New York, sounding him upon national affairs, and aßkiog him to take « the field as the champion of the now Amerioan " party. This letter was written some daye since. This movement has created qnite a sensation in thlß quarter, and mach anxiety and speculation are afloat in anticipation of Ur. Law’s reply.” George Lsw Abeed In Jersey. LETTXB TBOK THE ABSEMBLTHEti TO QEO. LAW— “A letter from a considerable number of the members of our Legislature has been addressed to Georgo Law, of New York, urging upon him the acceptance of the Presidency as the Enow Nothing candidate. This has been done over the head of Commodore Stockton, who bae all along heretofore carried ell the ’Jarseys’ in his breeches pocket. George Law, however, is considered a still wealthier man, and democracy in tbia State being guaged by dollars and oents, the gallant Commodore most give way to the Great Contraotor. Ii is supposed that Law will aocepton high-pressure filibustering principles.” The Know Nothings seem to have a penchant for large men. Jacob Broom, of Philadelphia, la also talked of by them for the Presidenoy. He will weigh about 820 pounds; and is well proportioned, tolerably aotive, and qnite good looking at that. Then, Gen. Sam Houston is talked of strongly. Be raay'win. He stands abont six feet fonr inches in his brogans, with a brawDy and still powerfal frame; and fl Ills eye in age quick, clear and keen, Shows what In youth Its glance had been.” He tipped Santa Anna one of those “glances” once, juet after the battle of San Jaointo; and Mr. Santa Anna knocked under in no time. The enterprising “ looal ” of the Dizpatch is decidedly a useful “ institution.” He gives the publio information that oould he obtained from no other source. For Instance, who else oould have mado known the foot that the funded debt of onr city was over eleven million dollars 1 We thought it was but $1,186,624. The oredit of our oity abroad will be wonderfully im proved when the Dispatch is read. Our bonds trill go up in the eastern market two per oent., at-least. A city that is able to owe over eleven million dollars ought to be in good oredit any where. The holders of the bonds should send them to the London market a,t onoe, and send a copy of the Dispatch along with them. The Diepalch says, too, that the oily debt “has tot been increased.” Yet, by his own showing it was increased ten million dollars in n single night. Our city fathers should see to this at owe. Snoh an enormous debt will frjghten onr tax payers. But we mention this merely to correot an cr ■oneous statement. The funded debt 1b bat a little over $1,180,000, That is quite large enough. We would call attention to Bn advertise- Jnont of a printing office and newspaper for sole, in one of the beet regions of Ohio. It has a good circulation, and ia an old and well estab lished paper. Its job office doeß a good busi ness, and we presume soma enterprising print ers and publishers would find it a good chanoo for an Investment. Attention is invited to the communica tion of «0. P. Q.,’’ iu regard to the Board of Trade, and Ohio improvement. : MARCH 1. OEOKDIH LAW. OOU. BTOCKTOH SCPEUSEDED. “ Teestoh, N. J., Feb. 24, 1855. CITY INDEBTEDNESS. THE TARIFF BILL. . The tariff bill which has passed tho House and is now before the Senate, provides that arti- cles bow bearing dnticßbf'loo, 40, 30, 26, 20, 16,10 and 6 per cent. Bhall, after thejlstof duly, isy 80, 32, 24, 20, 16, 12, 8 and 4 per cent. This is a reduction of 20 percent, on the present rates. It rednees tho duty on wool to 8 oents per pound, and makes raw silk and 6ax, most kinds of aye stuffs, and various other articles used in manufactures, duty free. The duty on all iron is reduced 20 percent, on present rates. Frnitß and vegetables, now taxed 20 per oent. are to come in free of duty. Salt, seeds, woodß ani roots, bnrr stones, bolting oloths, and ani mals of all kinds, are placed on the free list. Articles of manufactured silk under the tariff of 1846 are oharged with thirty per cent, duty on eome artiolcs and twenty-five on others. Un der the proposed tariff, they are ail plaoed under Sohedule C, nnd will pay twenty-four per oent. Under this sohednle will be included iron of all kinds, coal, glass of all kinds, with the excep tion of ent glass, hats, gloves, ready-made oloth ing, coaches, wagons, &0., and tho furniture, ootton and woollen fabrics, including carpets, linen mannfactnreß, sugar and molasßes, furs and mannfaotnres of far. Tho bill is now before tho Senate, where some alterations will probably bo made that will Bend it baok to the House. The wool growers will not like this refusal of aU protection to them. The change will reduce considerably the price of wool. But the iron interest of Pennsylvania suffers moBt; and should the bill giving credit for three years for duties on railroad iron pass the House, it will seriously damage iron manufacturers. It has passed the Senate, and, it is supposed the House will pass it. The design of it is to make rail road iron free of duty. The bonds given for the duties will be cancelled before they are doe. CongreßS has dono very little good this winter ; and this bill is not only unnecessary bat a great injury tooneof the most important manufactur ing interests of the country. No Sesatob —It is tho general impression that tho Legislature hoving failod to eleot a Senator, the Govomorwill have the right to ap point one to fill the vacanoy, till the next Legis lature elects. This was our impression at first. But it is an error. It is only when a vacanoy occurs during a reoess of tho Legislature that the Governor may appoint. In the present oase, wo must wait till the next Legislature meets and elects a Senator. During more lhantwo monthß of the next Congress, then, Pennsylvania will have bnt one Senator, unless the time of electing be ohsnged. It will be seen by tho subjoined tele graphic despatch from Harrisburg, that we are likely to have a new county np the river. And tho Mechanics' Bank bill passed the Senate. IIABHiSBCCQ, February 28. —The Mil creating a new ccun ty to be called Monoogahela, not Interfering with Alle gheny, was called up in the Senate to-day, and its erection advocated by Meer.ra. Frazier, M’Cllntock, Price and Platt. It waa oppored by Mr. Fleanihcn. The measure pamd—lB ayes to 9 nays. 1 he Mechanics' Bank bill was called np, and advocated by Messrs. Darele and M’Cllntock, on tho ground that with a population doubled since 1834, the bank capital of Pitts burgh bad decreased nearly a million and a bah* dollars. It passed finally—ayes 12, nays 10. I For the Morning Po«t] Th« Board of Trade and the Improve- ment of the Ohio Ativer. Messrs. Editors :—The editor of the Journal expects to get rid of “O. P. Q and his few very gentle remarks, by repeatedly saying that *‘o. P. Q.” is “stupid.” It will not answer, most resplendent Robert' Vou do not think “ O P. Q.” is stupid ! You are playing your old game of the diplomatist, whose only use for lan guage was to conceal his thoughts. We will wa ger five ehareß of the “ fanciest ” copper stooks ever dealt in, that you do not believe the article signed “0. P. Q.” is stupid, nor its author nei ther. We have Qgain examined the extract from the Journal, as advised by the editor, to see if it were possible wo had misapprehended him, and wc transcribe it odco more, for reconsideration: “We hope to ec.e our Board of Triulo take this matter op in the admirable Fpirit which characterises tho movement of tho LonUrille Chamber ol Commerce,” What matter ? Why, the Ohio river improve- Very well. Now, there is no possible esoape for the editor from signal impalement on the horns of a dilemma. There are but two pos sible wayB of construing this sentence:—one is that the Pittsburgh Board of Trade had not taken np the matter at all—the other is, that though the Board of Trade might have taken it np, the subject had not been treated in the “ admirable spirit manifested in Louisville," and the editor may take his choice of those interpretations of his text, bat one of thorn he must stand to. We defy him, adroit diplomat as be is, to had any one silly enough to accept any other explanation. It will not help the editor to get into a pet and vent epithets. Wo speak whut wo know, when we say that many, if not all tho JoumaVs read ers, who take interest in the Board of Trade, drew from the above sentcnco tho same meaning that “0. P. Q.” did. No 000 has accused the Journal of treachery to the interests of Pittsbargh—bat some have felt that it has been tardy in maintaining them in this ca®e—and neglectful in noting what our Board of Trade had done in the Ohio River Im provement. The neglect is obvious, from the paragraph in question—the tardiness is admit* ted in the expression of this morning’s Journal, that—“ The morning papers, [of Monday,] with out exception,” by noticing the Merchants' Ex change, had “foroibly reminded us-{the oditor of the Journal ] of our duty in that regard.” We are bouncT to admit that the reminder brought out a good articlo in the Journal. Those interested in the Board of Trade will doubtless not remember with any unkindness that it was the last of a sories of good attioles in oar oity papers in the Bamo behalf. 0. P. Q. The Weather. Bcftalo, February 20.—The weather yester day and to-day has been very oold here, the thermometer ranging from zero to ten degrees above it op to noon. No mails from New York have been received sinoe Saturday evening. Four trains, over due, havo been stopped by the drifts of snow near Batavia. Chicago, February 26.—This is the coldest day yet this season. Between 6 and 6 o’clock, this morning, the thermometer ranged from 16 to 20 degrees below zero. Milwadhie, February 26.—Last night was the coldest of the season. At sunrise this mor. ning the thermometer stood at 20 degrees below zero. Wheeling, Va., February 20.—The river is full of floating ice. Navigation is entirely sus pended. The weather is intensely cold. Oswego, February 26.—A violeut storm has prevailed here Binee Saturday night, and the weather is very cold. Washixotoh, February 26. —The day cold and windy. Thermometer 24 degrees above zero. A sensible husband is he of whom the following story is told. His wife having eloped With a traveling leoturer, was arrested by some officious friends. The husbsnd refused to prose cute, but requested three of his neighbors to say what he ought to do in the matter. They decid ed that the wife should go off with her lover, taking her clothes, four hundred dollars for traveling expenses, and her mclodcon. A righ te ens judgment. The lucky fellow not only got rid of a too loving wife, but of all her baggage, at a very cheap rate. Tbia pleasant occurrence happened in the vioinity of Fitohbarg, Mass. A Good Fiohtxbo Stock. —A stone mason of Reading, England, named Oliver Cromwell, and said to be a descendant of tbo Proteotor, enlisted into the Grenadier Guards a few weeks ago. Finanoiehing in Indiana. —There are 123 banks in the State of Indiana. Of these 15 are at par in Cincinnati, the balanoe varying be twen 5 and 76 per oeht disoount. Death Fbom the Bite or a Doa.—Mr. Abijah Ety, a welthy and respeotuble citizen of Highta town, N. J , died last week of lock jaw, caused by the bite of a dog. An Honest Citt.—Out of 1,897 dry measures examined in New York, only 817 were correct, while of wet measures, two-thirds were found incorreot. Proceeding!

The man was indignant, and insisted on having his pojer examined, whioh was finally done, when it proved to be a parcel of Inoome Bonds, to the amount of $lO,OOO. This ohanged the aspeot of the oase somewhat. An Escaped Pejsosee. —An eagle, with a bell attaohed, flow over Stamford, Conn., last week, at an elevation of 1,000 feet, and aerial tintina bniation was Washington, February 28.— Senate. —To-.day toe chair laid before tho Senate a communication from tho Secretary of the Interior, relative to the Choctaw Indian bill, from the House of Re presentatives, to amend tho act approved August 26th, 1862, entitled an aot to redace and define the boundaries of the military reserve, at St. Peter’s river, territory of Minnesota. Passed. The bill to provido for more efficient discipline for the Navy was passed. On motion of Mr. Stuart tho Senate proceeded to discuss the rcoonsideration of the report of the committee of conference upon swamp lands. He wished the decisionon it deferred until the next session to give time for examination. The motion was not agreed to. Messrs. Dougins, Walker and Bright continued the discussion, at the close of which the Senato refused to reconsider tbeir vote upon the report of the committee of conference upon swamp lands, by 24 nays and 21 yeas. Sundry bills from the House of Representa tives for concurrenoa were taken up and sundry bills, acts and resolves, were received from the President with his eigoaturo. Tho Mail Bteamor Appropriation bill was taken up. Mr. Chase is speaking on it. After a long debato the several amendments proposed to the bill were rejeoted, and the bill passed by a vote of 26 to 22—thus continuing the contract with the Collins lino until at $33,000 the round trip. Mr. Hunter, from the finance oommittee, re ported the oivil and diplomatic appropriation bill from tho Honse, with an amendment whioh was adopted by the House, modifying the tariff.

Opinions of tlie Prcaa.— The following is from Gen. George P. Morris, in the Home Journal, of No vember 7,1846. All editors profess to be the guardians of the rights of the people, and to keep them advised, through their columns, of whatever shall arise for their benefit. We will live up to this letter, and inform them that tho most wonderful and valuable medicine for their general use over invented, is * 4 D ALLEY'S MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.” Its vir tues are so rare, mighty and eccentric, that often they ap pear to work more like miracles thaw by 60lenca,eoeffective, electric, and astounding an its powers on the human body, that, though now it is daily tried by thousands of peoplo, not one of this great mass but is delighted beyond compar ison, and candidly confess they, on no consideration, will ever again be without iu The inventor, Mr. H. Dailey, has wisely kept the secret to himself. Counterfeits are busy about it, but without suc cess. Its overwhelming merits defy all competition, and its peculiarities analysis. Woconflclentljcommeodall parents to seek its acquaintance, for sure ly such a friend, who laughs at death and suffering, restores the blind, lame, halt, and scarred to perfection, and all from pain, is “ a friend in deed.” We wish the discoverer of this mighty blessing, who Is a real benefactor to mankind, God speed.
