TUB PB»»»VLVAKI4 KAIIBOAD AND THE OHIO ttIVER. Wc published a few days since a statement of the receipts of the Pennsylvania Railroad Tor the month of July last. They amounted to $307,516 34.. Daring the same month last year the receipts wore $200,299 87. The inorease for that month this year over the last, it will be seen, is $98,216 4i. This road is now doing more business than any other line of roads extending from the East to the West. The New York and Erio and the Baltimore and Ohio are both beaten this year. Large quantities of goods are now passing over this route from New York city to the West and Southwest. The continued high water in the Ohio river is ono reason of this increased busi ness this year; and it is thus ovident that, were the Ohio navigable all tho year round, the Penn sylvania road would dlstanoo all competition in the carrying trade between the Weßt and the seaboard. It is tho shortest route between Bos ton, New York and Philadelphia and Bt. Louis, and all goods going from either of the seaboard cities we havo named to the central West and Southwest will take this route whenever the river is in navigable order ; and when our West ern railroads ore completed. Thoro is in these facts every encouragement for pushing forward the StoubenviUe road and tbe CharUors Valley road to speedy completion. They will connect with long linee of Wostorn roads, and will form the beßt and shortest routos betweon New York and tbe whole West and Boutbwcst. But the business done on the Central road this year shows another fact of importance. When tho Ohio river Is in a good navigable stage daring the summer months, our Central road will be crowded with freights, it is th« preferred route when tho river Is right. But last year, and almost every year, during the summer months, the river is too low for good navigation. Only a small olsbs of boats can run, and freights are too high ; and the consequence is that goods are sent by other roads. Were tho Ohio im proved, as the oompany now ohartered for that purpose contemplates, so as to give four and a half fest of water in the channel all tho year round, tho Pennsylvania Railroad would bo per haps the best paying railroad in the country. Goods could be carried through quioker and cheaper than by any rival route; and we Bhould have through our oity the greatest thoroughfare of trade in the conntry. Such faots and snob prospects present strong inducements to improve the Ohio river. It is a thousand miles long; and with each improve ment as would keep four and a half feet of wat er Is its channel the year round, it would te worth more to the business and oommerce of tho conntry than any railroad of the same length would ever be. Uie estimated that six million dollars would be sufficient to oomplete euoh an improvement. A railroad of tho same length would oost six times that sum. Is there not suf tt olent enoonragement to improve the river? And is not the Pennsylvania road sufficiently inter ested in it to snbecribe a million of stook in the improvement oompany - There is a line of roads in tho course of con-1 stmotion from New York to Harrisburg* by a much shorter route than through Philadelphia. There is no doubt it will soon be completed ; and then New York freight and travel to the flouth weßt will all come by this route, if our western outlets are in good order. We shall ebon have a direct railroad connec tion with St. Louis. The Pittsburgh and Steu benville road is a part of the line, of the same gauge all the way, and this line, with the Cen tral from Pitteburgh to Harrisburg, and by the line mentioned above from thenoe to New York, will form tbe shortest possible railroad thorough fare between St. Louis and New York. From St: Loulb ft railroad is in progress of construc tion westward. Some seventy miles are com ■ pletod. It is called tho Paoifio railroad; and it Will undoubtedly yet be extended to the shores of the Paoifio. It is the central route, in which more of the States ore interested than in any other. It seems pretty certain then that Pitts burgh will yet bo ono of tbe large oities on the line of tho gront Railroad from New York to San Francleoo: and the Pennsylvania road will be a part of the lino.

Sevoral important oaßes are to be argned —and opinions given on others orgued in Har risburg at the late sitting—among others tho great Erie Railroad Case. Twojpolicemon, Adams and Roberts, were at taokod early on Sunday morning, in one of the suburbs of Philadelphia, by two brothers named James and John M’Guire, and a man named Mo- Ginnis; and to protect themselves wore com- pelled to use their revolvers.

The steamers Ariel and Washington, whioh sailed from New York on Saturday, took out to gether $873,563 01, making an aggregate from the Ist of January to dato of $20,887,784. This export of specie for the week was more than counterbalanced by the reeeipts from California, whioh foot up nearly two millions. A heavy robbery was perpetrated at Cape May on Saturday morning. The- room of Mr. M. Cody, at the United States Hotel, was entered daring hie abeenoe, and hie trunks plundered of muoh valuable property. Among the articles stolen were a diamond breast-pin, valued at $BOO, a diamoud bracelet, two checks for $3OOO each, on the Bank of Amerioa, Sew York, drawn to the ordor of Mr. Cody, and s‘3oo in fifties, of the Bank of America, New York. This is one of the heaviest robberies ever perpetrated at a pleasure resort. Oae at Saratoga a fow days before about equalled it. A few weeks since, several llvea were lost by the falling of the brick walls of Urban’s Safe Factory, on Pearl street, Cincinnati. The rub bish since then had mostly been cleared away, but the iron pillars whioh supported the first story, from some accountable cause, were al lowed to remain. Saturday afternoon last, eomo of the laborers wero engaged in the cellars, when the pillars feel with a tremendous crash, ono of them striking a workman, named Patrick Devan, upon tho head, mashing his skull and scattering his brains in every direction, his more fortunate companions escaping uninjured.

THE SEWS WHAT THEY DID TIIKIIK At the meeting of tho Whig Committee yesler day, it Trill be seen by the resolutions, nn at tempt was made to throw the blame of “no fu sion" on a Democratic paper. It was “well known that no fusion was offered by the YYhigs to tho Democrats except on terms that coaid not bo nccoptod. Tho Gazelle, tho organ of what remained of tho Whig party, demanded of ns a Surrender of principles that every Democrat would refuse to make. It required that tho whole Democratic party should become Frco Boilers. But, while disliking slavery, we choose to have or.e national party : one party that la in f&Yor of Ihc Union. It is well known that the editor of the Gatetir has all along labored lu get up this Republican party, and ho made tho proposal to the l>emo* orate that he knew could not be accepted for the ▼cry purpose of parading the refusal as a rea son for carrying all the Whigs over to tho Re* publican party, wbiofa it id well known is to bo tho anti-slavery party. We think some of the Whigs will understand this scheme; and will not be humbugged bo oaoily as its authors expect A Notice of Iloon.ssi>’B Bittebs to invito tho attention of suffereilß from Jyepepsia to an article like Hoofland’s Bitters, a medicine that has given relief to hundrode for this truly distressing oomplaint. Wo do not speak from personal experience, bat we bear it from onr readers that a great many of them have been greatly relieved by this very pleaeant remedy, A littlo over six months ago the proprietor, Dr. C.

To those of our friends who may be troublod in this way, wo would say try the Bitters, It will give you an ap petite for your food, and etomaoh to digest it, and oonvert it into healthy nourishment after it lls eaten. We aro not very favorablo to giving notioes of eo called nostrums, but lloofland's Bitters art no nostrum If you want to try them, you can buy them at Dr. Keyßer’s, 140 Wood street. Commerce or Erie. —Daring the week ending August 7th, the clearances of vessels at the port of Erie, Pa., wore 43, of which 2 were brigs, and the rest schooners. Of these, no lees than 30 were bound for Balfalo, 1 for Ogdcnsbnrg, 1 for Tonawanda, 1 for Toledo, 3 for Chicago, 1 for Mackinaw, 1 for Fremont, 3 for Toronto, and 1 for St. Catharines, Canada. These vessels were laden with 6,340 tons of coal, 002,000 feet of lumber, 07,000 staves, 260,000 shingles, 17 tone hoe and shovel handles, 360 cords hemlock bark, and various other articles of Amerionn produce.

His skull is so fractured as to oause internal bleeding and he must die. His assail ants were three men employed in Miller, Win gate •& Co.’s Agricultural Works. They are in jail. : Tho same night Barney Deal attacked and knooked down Mr. R. Skene, a very respootable gentleman. Barney wsb drunk and mistook Mr. 1. for a Sag Nioht. Yostorday evening an Irishman was knocked down on First street. But tbeße outrages are of such oommon occurrenco, that it is scaroely worth while to note them. The Pulpit and the Riots —Several of our clergymen made allusion to the terrible riots of last weak in their sermons yesterday. Dr. Hum phrey preaohed an ablo discussion on the sub ject in tho Second Presbyterian Church, re bukirg tho unchristian spirit manifested. In the Cathedral, Bishop Spalding delivered a very etlectivo disoourse, referring to the riots, llis eormon was characterized by humility of spirit and truo Christian forbearance, inculcating tho duty of submission upon his numerous hearers. Tho Courier also relates some further inci dents and particulars of the riot. It says: Young Long, son of the proprietor of the gro cery store corner of Eleventh and Main stjeets, that was burned, states that half an hour previ- ous to a shot being fired in that scotiou of the city, a friend of his, who is a membor of the Know Nothing order, approached him and urged his leaving the store of his father. lie said that at night an attaok would bo certainly made ; that it was arranged to fire that blook and shoot the inmates who dared escapo. In accordance with this advise, Long removed his father and mother to a place of safety. Ho thon returned to the store, whore his two brothers were, and before they oould escape tbo attaok was made, la escaping himself, he roocived thirteen bullet woundi, and is now confined, dangerously ill, from their etfeota. His two brothers were una ble to leave, and were actually aonsumod in the ernfiagration. An Irishman residing in the same block at tempted to leave, but was shot and driven back. Again he attempted to reach the street and was driven back, reociving several Shots. Woak and faint, bo crawled out the back way, rcaohed tho poper-mill yard, and finding a hole in the sand bank, lay thero all night, his wounds bleeding all the while. A proposition is before the Council concerning the property destroyed by the mob of Monday. The city is unquestionably responsible for alt tho acts of tho infuriated populace that It neglected to reason and force out of its madness. Tho authorities cannot excuso themselves, and the treasury is bound to bleed. Efforts havo been made to proouro some au thentic evidence as to the origin of Monday’s riots, but tho foar of violcnoe, whioh yet prevails among eomo of our moat respectable citizens, both native and foreign born, deters many from permitting their names to be made public. Tho truth, however, will soon bo placed beforo the public, oven though the proper authorities make no efforts to Investigate the matter or to bring tho guilty parties to justice The Courier says that tho name of an unim peachable witness can be given who will prove that one of tho mob carried a pitchfork, and that he thrust it into the body of an l nstead of being arrested for it tho Irishman was arrested and thrust into jail Alcohol l» Food A writer in tho last Westminster Review hes met the physiological, question involved in Ike use of alcohol as a drink, with rare learning and force of logic. “ Forco is the end and aim of food. Tho exertion of force wastes tho ma terial fabric ; with every thought wo think, with every muscle wc move, a particle of our fabric is consumed, or a particle of our fuei is burned. Oryg.-u is the great agent in this desfruotion of tissue nnd fool, a destruction which is a culmi nation. Life lUtnes into activity, and expires in tho act. '■ The writer goes on ; •• IVo have seen that oxygen is tho great vital ising destroyer of tissue. Its voracity is irre sistible. Food it must and will have. If there be no fuel in tho grate it burns the grate. ‘ The amount or nourishment required by an animal for its eupport must be Id direct ritio with the quantity of cxygen taken iulo tho system.' (Liebig) But, under tho tern) nourishment, our readers have loomed to include alcohol, which nourishes n« fuel. ‘Of ull respiratory mat ters, alcohol aots most rapidly,’ saya Liebig ; and in this rapidity there is groat virtue, for starch, very good in itself, requires same hours beforo it becomes selub’.o in the alimentary canal of the bread cater, so os to enter tho blood, and there servo tbo purposes of respiration. Both starch and alcohol tiro burned, and in burning throw out force ; but when tho demand for forco is nrgent, tho food which most rapidly oroates it is tho most valuable. Lehmann cau lions ns, in estimating the nutritive value of an aliment, not to be guide J solely by Its climontary composition, but also by its digestibility, which thus becomes one factor in tho Bum. Now tho —We like digestibitUy of alcohol iso to speak) surpasses that of any othor aliment: it requires lesa elaboration to fit it for its ultimate purpose, namely, tho translation into nervous force. ■ Alcohol stands high ns a respiratory materi al. Its use enables us to dispense with starch and sugar in our food.' (Liebig) Is more wanted to show that nloohol is food ? Arc not all physiologists agreed In considering respiratory materials ns food ? But wo can show that aloo hol is not only food in this sense, but also in tho sense of supplying tho place of other kinds of food, if you don’t drink alcohol, yon must supply its plaoo with more bread, or pudding. Liebig tOllB iis how tomperanoe families, de priving their servants of beer, gave them com pensation in money; but tboy soon found that the monthly consumption of bread increased so strikingly, that tho beer was twice paid for—onoe In rnonoy, and a second time in broad. The same authority relates tho experience of tho landlord at the Hotel do Russie, in Frank fort, whore tho poaco congress was held ; tho members of this congress were mostly teototlers, and a regular deficiency was observod ovory day in oertahi dishes, especially farinaceous dishes, puddings, &o.; so unheard of a defioienoy in an establishment whore, for years, the amount of dishes for a glvon number of persons had so well been known, exoitod tho landlord's aston ishment, tho toetotelers made up in puddings what they neglected in wine. ’’ The writer goes further than this, aud contends that nloohol not only savos the consumption of tissue, but that it has a positive valuo as a nu triment of force. l)enrvei all ho Oeti.

He is a poor miserable dolt, a silly fly rushing into a spider’s net with his eyes wide open, and deserves all ho gets— and more, if possible. Wo repeat, wo have no sympathy for men of Brooha’s class, who allow their souls to bo worried out of them by ambi tious wives and silly daughters, however Mrs. 8., Blauobe and Sarah aro to ho condomnod. But hero aro the satirioal rogue’s remarks: a while the business men of America pro* verbially live poorer, drees shabbier, work hard- 1 or, and many more hours, than in any othor ' po’untry in the world, thoir wivoe and daughters are ten times more idle, more extravagant and more useless. Mr. Brooha, of the houßO of tlrooha, Buokram & Co., toils from twelve to six teen hours per day. Broohn laßt year made $22,000. What booame of it? Ton thousand dollars of the same were spent by Mrs. Brooha, for new furniture, “to spite the Maxwells,” while a large portion of the balance was ex pended on “ Blanobo and Sarah,” so that they might go to Nowport and “show the Fantad lings” that there were other diamonds in New York besides those whioh were inherited from a great grandfather, who fonnd In India a prinoely fortune and a diseased liver. Brooha had been in business sinoo 1840. Ho does a large Bnd lucrative business. People who have never been in his parlor and kitchen imagine that Brooha is worth a quarter of a million of dollars, while those who have been in, wonder how he dodges the sheriff. Brooha is still toil-! ing and is still making money, and yet if he should die to-morrow, it is questionable whether his assets would equal bis liabilities. Brooha will probably end bis days by testing the virtue of a shilling’s worth of etryohnine. Should wo be one of the jurors who sit upon the body, we fehouli bring in the following verdict— 11 died from the visitation of an extravagant wife and |WO senseless daughters.” - ' *V.

They are all tanned brown as achosnut. AUare plump, ruddy and hearty. One bas had his curls cut off; another is rigged in farm-boy style, and the younger ones have their catalogues of mishaps to rehearse —tho finger cut, the toe stubbed, the loss of a pet goat, tho acquisition of a Newfoundland bupy, whioh is agreed to bo the most extraordinary and amusing of all little fat, blnofe puppies. ... , , , We eally forth, a long train of boys and girls following and pointing ont tbo marvels. First wo look aftor the graaB —thlok, sncoulcnt, “green as grass, " and quite temptiDg. 000 Is almost disposed to lie down and roll, and then to take a bito, just to Bee what kind of faro tho Baby lonish King must have had. Bravest of all grasses is tho Indian Coro, it is now about three foot high, and waving its blade to every wind with tho most graceful, movements. It has had the laßt booing; it is “ laid by. Nothing now remains for it bnt to go forward, as all its fathers have douo, grow, top out, then tassel out, then shake its top dnst down upon its silken tassel, then fill up the plump kornels, at whioh point, in respeot to the Bweet corn, wo shall step in and relievo tho stock of any farther oaro of tbo delclous ear, transferring it to tho pot, tho platter, tho plate and elsewhere. Tbo held corn most go on and nnrso Its chargo, swaddled in juioy husks, until the cob la armed with gold or silver grains, and tho shrinking and withered husks lets out the tops of the shiny oars. Wo walk along the rows of potatoes, admiring the clusters of blossoms, and tho wisdom of na ture whioh ordained a raco of Irish, especially to oat snob tastoless things. Potatoos, rico, tho white of eggs, baker'e bread, and cotton wool, are food whose flavor is to be.apprehonded by faith. . Next we look after the oats, the most graceful of email grains ; then after tho wheat, and tho barley. (Take note, wo feod tho barley to tho stock, not to tho brewers.) We walk through tho purple an t pink blossoming olover, through the heads grass, down into the pastures, to look oflcrtbooow and yearlings. Tho kind andgrasa breathed oroatures know that we aro Btrangers. They pause with an unobowed mouthful, and look fall faced at us, and reach forth their muzzles to smoll out who we are. By a little coaxing wo make our peace, and are allowed to pat their aides and caress them. The barns next must bo inspected ; the empty mows, tho Btablea, tho yard, and, above all tho tho groat barn-floor, which is to bo bedded with fresh hay, and then receive our body for many an hoar this summer. Far, through the south 1 door comes np the picture of ecarped mountains, and groen hills, and treo oovered knobs, and the pale bine of distant mountains, and near fields full of elm and ash trees, and the lake, cut into I three parts by tho trees whioh lino its edge, bo j that it looks like three pet pools instead ol n one-mile long lake. Tho hens ate not to bs neglected. Wo have no pure bloods except tho Boston Greys. Tho Shanghais have been abridged and improved. Our common barn-yards and the Shanghaio have been rolled into ono, and both have profited by tho junction. Tho old fashioned hens have gain ed in aize, and in all motherly qualities. The Shanghai has been ted to sco the error of rump lessness and yard long legs. After converting some inches into tail feathers, ho has become n well dressed and most respectable creature. A pair of turkeys bavo madetheir appearance here. Nino eggs havo resulted. Nolly, tho maid of tho dairy and of the yard ; has plucked away the eggs as soon as they were born, and to-morrow a broad-breasted hen, who for tho last week has been diligently ititmn upon an empty nest, is to take charge of these shells charged with turkeys.

Tho oU rooster is quite dilapidated. He is now put upon a pension and turned out at the coop. His feathers arc ragged, bis head ecarred ond battered, his tail is ragged and thin. Ho walks about with a subdued and serious air, as ono who reflects upon the vanity of life. Ho utters no mas",cal call as ho picks up his seeds and mor sels. Crowing Is a post glory with him. All bis past services aro forgotten. His wires aro given to others, and tbo poor Mormon patriarch wanders' about tho very pauper of tho barn : Although ho walks up and down in tight of youthful roosters, not one of them takes tho | lesson to heart, or rclleots npon his own destiny. The Boston Grey is careless; tho Bantam is tleroo and fiery ; and the amalgamation Shang hai towers np in perpendicular pride and prow css, as if be felt immortal blood within his heart. Wo have no geese. We aro going soon to hare some docks, The pigooua are increasing pro digiously. What an air of state and abundance it gives to a plaos to havo half a hundred pigeons flapping through tho air, sweeping in long cir cles through the trees, cooing on tho roof top, and soiling everything that com*a near tho roost! We had almost forgotten tho pigs. Thoy aro multitudinous and comely, and when they con sider themssivos neglected they aro able to make their dellioato notes of expostulation hoard and heeded.
