. Mr. B4twriarr:—.ll was one of a party of
. se . ntlemen from this place, who paid a
mvi
t-to the Shamokin Coal Region on Wed.
4iesday last, for the purpose of Witnessing
this interesting ceremony of opening that
~, portion of the Danville and Pottsville Rail
• Rind connecting the said region with the
limn of Sunbury.. I have only time to
give you. a very brief account of our-ex
carsion. - The party in question was ac-
Mrs.. panied* by Joh n White, Esq. well
,known among those who hive distinguish
ed themselves by their early and perseve
. ring exertions in behalf of this Rail Road,
• - xv.land Nlio still feel a - deep and abiding inter
:, est tti its entire completion. We arrived
after a. delightful half day's journey at_
Bird's on Tuesday evening. Here we in
' tended to await the arrival .or the Engine
- end Cars, expected oo the fullowin morn
• ing from Shamokin. About quarter past
8 o'clock on the following morriin , they
- made their appearance, presentin a fine
• spectacle; the New Locomotive end Ten
der.in advance, followed by two large pas
senger ears and an empty train of burth- .
en Cars. We embarked immediately,
acid descended the road in excellent style,
occupying -in our passage to Sunbury a
. distance of 133 miles a period of 55
mina** We remarked in our route
through the valley of the Shamokin, the
sad effects of the Isle drought on vegeta.
Lion generally; the Corn and Potatue crops
having suffered greatly, preseirting to the
view a blighted and withered appearance,'
quito . appaling to the hopes Of the agridul•
turalist. The engine performed admire
bly —we went along' without any inierrup
tion, and frequently at the rate of from 15
to 20 miles an hour. About 11 o'clock .
the inhabitants assonibled and were ready
fur departure at Sunbury, the nOttiber of
persons present amounting we RIO .sed to
about 400,, We set out maim' way back
to Shacriokin with the. passengeriand tiur
then cars filled to overflowing; th' former
carrying a numerous company o the top,
where seats are constructed fur the pur
pose, in the midst of loud and rolonged
cheers from the spectators and pa Aen,, ,, ers.
- And now permit me, as we are a ceticluig.
the road, to give you some particulars of
information connected with this great en
terprise, which I was enabled to pick up.
The Pottsville & Danville Rail 'Road is'
destined to be one of the great connecting
links in the chain of rail road communica
tion between the , waters of the -Delaware
and Lake Erie. At the present moment
a corps of fifty Engineers are engaged in
making a reconnoisance or examination
preparatory to a survey of the route for
the Sunbury & Etie Rail Road. The
distance from Suebury to the'town of
006-13tuutiokin, is between 18 and, 1 9 miles, the
rail road running about a mile and a half
beyond, the whole distance being twenty
miles. From this point to' Girardville,
the only portion which remains to be com
pleted to form a line communication with
Pottsville, the distance is only . 15 miles,
two miles. of - the distance being already
:graded. There are no formidable emu
. nil obstacles to the construction of this
portion of the route, and the sum of mo
ney required for the purpoSe would be
comparatively small. it is obvious that
it is the interestef all Atonterned in the
road, td complete t'his link as soon as pos
Bible. Hence we rnay infer, that the pe
riod
cannot be very distant. when we shall
see-the whole line completed and in oifer-
ation, busily empinyed in transporting the
products of the and and the forest, the
mine and the mannfactory, of an extensive
district of surrodediiig territory. From
Girardville to Poittrille, the distance is
12 miles. Upon this pertion of the route
there are, as it is known,-4 nuinher of in-
' relined planes, against which .public opin
-- , ion has been directed in a very strong cur
' rent. They seem; to have produced a kind
of panic in the public mind. It may be
confidently predicted, however, that this
panic will wear away with time and ex
perience. For piirposes of transportation
they Are fat preferable to a hower grade,
with a proportionable incr `of distance,
irfevery point of view, and ith respect
'to travelling, it may be asset ed that time
will de away much of the rejudices on
this score also. {cannot n w enter into
a - full statement of facti in r lation to the
. use of these planes; I can only say gener•
. ally, that many f thousand tons of coal
were transported i
ver them by Mr. Sharp,
the Superintends t; in safety, during a
season's business, t the Girard Mines.—

of Shamokin. Here We observed a large
hotel, one dr two stores, and a number
of good dwellings, all newly erected, on
a spot front which the timber had been
but recently cleared. New towns always
spring up as if by magic, and if prOperly
located, flourish with the Coal .. Trade.—,
Here we found among other - acquaint
ances our worthy townsman, Hurd Patter
son, Esq. always a pioneer in enterprise.
At this place we sat down. to a sumptuous
entertainment provided for the occasion.
We 'had every, delicacy . that could be
wished for.' served up in the best manner,
with a plentiful sprinkling of, Champagne
and Madeira. We supposed tharthe . num
ber that dined here, was between two
and three hundred guests: After dinner,
the company assembled in front of the
Hotel, where Hugh Hellas, Esq.. being
called upon ; rose and delivered a very
neat and appropriate address replete with
information, respecting the origin and
progress of the Rail Road, and the exer
tions made and difficulties overcome °by
its projectors, with a proper reference to
the late Stephen Girard, Esq.` He wa
followed by a few excellent and well-timed
remarks from B. W. Richards, Esq. Pre.
sident of the Company. The Cars set
out on their return towards eveuing.—
e . left them at Sirciq's, our first slopping
place, thence departed and arrived in
Pottsville on the following day, with the
consciousness of having spent our time
both pr.tfitably do agreeably, and of having;
enjoyed civilities and attentions on our
journey, which - laid us under deep and
lasting oblige t r•nti irrat itude.

THE JUBILEE.
The Whig Jublee. celebrated on the oc
casion of a resuinption of specie payments
by the banks. took place yesterday, as
heretofore sdiertised, on the banks of the
beautiful mud romantic Wassahicdun. The
place was well chosen, and the varied - and
deligl.tful scenery ,ga*rise to feelings in
harmony with thine excited by the event
celebrated. There were between three
and four thousand persOns present on the
occasion. The tables were loaded with
all that the appetite sharpened by a ride
of a fw miles, Could crave, and bet out in
the most inviting manner.
The appetite being satisfied, and the
spirits excited by a glass of champagne,
the speakers were called upon to contri
bute their respective-shares to the enter

spoke, and in his usual animated and ant:

was called fur and addressed the assem

the country ; but that baiing been elected
