The 4i • • furnished by ...L. M. on the sub

TOWARD! TB6 Rgainse Roan Co.
The managers of the Reading R.iil Road. with a
view to Invert a portion of the traiel towards the .
Susquehannali, from the Crilumbia Rail Road 11114
other routes, hays been induced to deduct fifty cents
from each passenger travelling via Reading and
Pottsville, by the old NorthUrnherimil Line of Stages
or the Opposition Lineko eattawisal and Nottbum'
berland. By these mearis the line wall made as cheap
as on Other routes,. and the deduction was intended
only fur passengers travelling ail the way through
to the S ssrandoma. But it has recently been as
certained, that the Old line of Stages have for some
time past, been giving Northumberland Tickets, to
passengers from Pottsville °nig ! This gross fraud,
has been traced 'to this end of the dine, and it has
been intimated that some of the agents of the Read
ing Rail Road were privy to, and connived at it.
This we do not believe, but those agents owe it to
themselves, andtlie coal interest of Schuylkill county,
to disavow any connection whatever with this mean
and contemptible outrage. •
The consequences will be, that in future, passen
gers travelling by the old line, will be subjected to
mortifying examinations to ascertain whether they
are, innocently, parties to this fraud! We are grati
fied to know that the u Opposition - Line ' • is not di
rectly or- indirectly implicated in this transaction ;
they have taken Honesty as the best policy, and
they will reap the ultimate edvanlage.
One gentleman, heretofore a supporter of the old
line, was so deeply mortified at ascertaining that he
had been thus imposed upon, and made a tool by
which to work out the dirty, underhand practices,
of some of its propnetors, returned to Pottsville in
the Opposition Line, honestly declaring, that he
Icould not consent to be made, in the most remote
manner, a party to such a fraud.
STAY/ at re —We. regret to learn that a person
by the name of M•Lty, lately from New Orleans,
indicted several stabd. with a large Jack Knife, on
four parsons, on the afternoon of the 4th, at Mr.
James Painter's Tavern, near Port Carbon. No pro
vocation was given bu t a refusal on the part of the
pers"ns stabbe I to pet mit fum to jotn in their festi
vities. Several 'of the wounds are severe, but will
not prove fatal. Maley has fled.
S Gazette, has appeared this week in
an entire new dress; I eing an assuranctthat it meets
the deserved encouragement, due to an undeviatipg
course of honorable principle and charitable intlEn
uon.
To one Om understand, us.—. The stormy fields
of political strife, and the rough encounters of world
ly are alone fur the male portion of crea
tion. Nature, good .feeling; and manly virtue, have_
raised a barrier of defence before the female sex
which should prove to the honorable mind, an uner
ring monitor of their sacred position. The refine-'
merits of society encompass them, like. the magic
circle of the enehantei, possessed of power to keep
out all' evil spirits, and protett those enclosed by its
potent agency from surrounding dangers. Is there
one who can boast the name of man, unless he have
the form alone without the heart, who would invade
this sanctity? who would ruthlessly break down
the conventional harrier, which society has erected
flyi angry feeling engendered by political diffre
en
allots sufficiently deplorable tn itself, but when the
venom which barbs its missiles is diverted from the
uriginol object, when the hand of a brute turns the
shaft towards the female bosom—then indeed we
feel for man's littleness, and. hesitate to claim coal
panionship with our species. And there are those
base enough to do this : Caereis one, for whose eye
there lines are intendeif, who -could with a satanic
feeling, cull all the noxiotts poisons from a party
warfare, intended to drug the chalice of-a father, and
send them under.cover to his daughter! Could his
name he blazoned to the world; could community
know the viper, who can thus spit his gangrene and
pestilence around tile domestic hearth, how would
the finger of honest and indignant scorn be pointed
at him ! how Would men of elf parties loath hum and
his insignificance There is no palliation for such
conduct: impulse has its excuse; the beat of strife
may ne overlooked; hut the cold, deliberate wretch,
who would seat himself dispassionately to collect
the gall and bitterness, which unhappily is too often
found to stagnate in our public press, and who would
seek tei wound a female's feeling, through her fath
er's vituperation—in the language of the poet.

THE MINEW3:-JOURNAL.
New Vork Misror.—Morl than seventeen years
have now elapsed, since tane Jourtialves•firat com
menced., Its infancy was attended by firths- minisl
concomitants of original literary effort, but those
perils were safely .passed, and the fifth .year of its
teens has found it, not backward, and lack
adaisical miss, whose dress is her only claim to dis
tinction, but a bold, dashing tolle,a.kader of the ton,
whose attire is copied, whose gait is studied, whose
music is [mitt:Fred, whose poetry is repeated, and
whose pre-eminence is paramount. We are willing
to acknowledge, that a partial feeling inclines to to
IViss Mirror it was on her sweet bosom, we poured
forth our young song of love,: a kind of platonic feel
ing subsisted between us ; to her, we told our
griefs, and she in turn revealed them to our juvenile
ideal of female beauty. Not us a " base Sir Panda
rus of Troy," but in those tones and strains, when
the heart's first music is awakened, and the strings
of young affections are first touched, as Memmon's
, lyre, by the rising sun of loveliness. But one third
of a century has rolled past us, still should we out
live "as many lives as Plutarch had," never could
we forget, the intense anxiety with which we await
ed the recurrence of that momentous Saturday,
whit was to seal our fate; We had sent a piece
of poetry to the Mirror for insertion fit had been
.promised " next week'. " but bow slowly the days
did wear'. We could not with Mrs. Hailer ask, "Is
Saturday come again.rn soon ! " it seemed doomed,
like Vainkrdecken, never to double the promontory
of time ! At length it did come—the lines appear
ed, and we were ordained a scribbler! Then sought
we other bosoms to pour our joys arid sorrows upon
—the " Minerva 4 ' of Brooks, was a favored one,
and we 'divided our leisure between the two. Poor
Minerva died! but she did not take with her from
earth the ./Egia—its protecting power was shed over
the Mirror, and she outlived the , thousand ills' which
a literary journal, as well as flesh 'is heir to !' Our
love has grown with her growth, and strengthened
with her strength. We do not often indulge in lau
datory strains on her charms, for who of us. is not
chary of exposing his first love." We now are
wedded to another—instead of passing the current
of our life, on the green margin of literary life,
" where flowers perennial bloom," the stormy camp
of political war, the winter of discontent, and bruised
monumental arms, have proved the arena of our be-
ing's struggle!
Yet memory fondly reverts" to days bye-gone ;
our sympathies are uil enlisted in the success Of the
Mirror, and great is our pride to find her worthy of
our first, oar long-enduring lore ! Her example has
been most beneficial, in co , rrecting the standard of
literary 'taste: it has reformed the reading matter of
that soft set, whom it is our delight to love, and un
der whose soft influence our infant years are formed.
In correcting that, it has worked a moral reform—
no longer do we see our journals loaded with jargon
to feed the imagination, pithout improving •the
mind. Amusement and instruction now walk hand
in hand, through the delightful puterre provided fur
us ; the choicest flowers of literature, whether indi
genous or exotic, are spread before us—the fragile
are nurtured, and the hardy, skillfully pruned of their
wild exuberance. The pleasure grounds of intellect
are thrown open, and all may feast on the sunny
verdure and fragrant charms of their productions.
The noxious weed—the poisoned flower, is extermi
nated, and the rich fruits, worthy the skilful culture
of the flerist, are alone presented.
With s - fich feelings and views, we announce the
commencement of the seventeenth volume of the
New York Minor." Did we think a single per
son in our region was unacquainted with its merits,
or its design, we would publish the " prospectus in
full, " for his especial edification; but there are few
comdlunities where it has not made its way, but few
fire sides that are not gliddened by its weekly rims,
and none who have heretofore omitted to join the
number of its patrons, should hesitate to lend their
rid in supporting one of the olds-t, best and most
beautiful Journals which either continent of ehris
tendom can boast.
Cuoper. the Nctielist, or it would be as well to
write it, Cooper, the Libehet, has obtained an•indict
!tient. against James W. Webb, of the N. V. Cour
ier end I,,nquirer, from the Grand Jury of Otsego
County. We gave up our "Homeward Bound"
and "Home as Found" for the Cooperstown Editor,
but in justice, may say we carot part with our
Naval History. We fear Mr. (doper is entangling
himself by the trial in the web of his fate, and we
advised Col. Webb to remove the trial if possible to
Cataraugus Cs., where, When three young men
were tried for shooting and mortally wounding a
dog, the written verdict of the Jury was—" All three
guilty ; plaintiffs damages assessed at 6 pence : and
each of the defendants to have another shot at the
dog!'
Gieszl - R.—An ukase has been issued at St. Pe
tersburg to restrain the wandering habits of the gip
seys. They are ordered to provide themselves with
fixed habitations by January 1, 1841.
This will be more difficult to compass, than teach

wild lawless race, and have been well described,
As the lion in the wood,

So the gipsey in his lair. "
Chambersburg.—This town it 'most delightfully
located in the very centre of Franklin county, and
in the midst of an agricultural country, which will
bear comparison with any in our Union--the valley
of Cumber/and. We should judge its population
must approach 5000. and the-moral tone and intelli
gence of its inhabitants may best be tested by the fact
that nine houses of public worship 'idorn its limits, and
support is given to three newspapers. The Frank
lin Repository has been near 45 years in existence,
32 of which it has been under the charge of Mr.
Harper who still conducts it, and may probably be
considered the most veteran editor in Pennsylvania'.
To his polite attention end courteous conduct were
we indebted, during a recent visit, for much .valuable
information and ass/stance,. May his grey hairs go
down in honor to therrresting place, attended by the
respect and esteem of all who enjoy the happiness
of hie acquaintance.
The Court House and Bank are fine buildings,
the latter especially being built with considerable
taste. Immediately through the heart of the town a
fine stream, whose name of Indian euphony, we
' have fergoitee, or rather could never pronounce, af
fords • water power which is very advantageously
employed in the manufacture of carpinter's tools,
straw paper, die., for which large and commodious
factories are erected. Their products find an outlet
by the rail road to Harrirbw.g, and from thence the
whole union is at their command. In a short time
the Franklin Rail Road will connect with Maryland
improvements, and a direct communication, perhaps
by rail road, be formed to Pittsburg.
Abaence of Mind.—A drunken fellow in.N. Y.
insisted upon taking up a watchman for intoxica
tion, and generously offered to lend him money to
pay his fine.
American Martufadtarea.—Mr.Narris of Philadel

Our brother Chapman, although a Benedict, nust
be a great lady's man. In the same paper from

a specimen may be seen.
Is the Editor the specimen 1 if so Mrs: Register
can not justify such a"course. It would put our
lady out of sorts, and produce a capital row ! We
should expect to be talked to like ■ primer, and
minion would be battered, and chased out of the
premises. We presume however our brother com
poses himself, with the reflection that she is an ex
cepuon to the general- rule. Well I—may nothing
dash their happiness, and may all their duplicate
impressions be good proof and tokens worthy his

Sir James Clark, whose Jude attack on Lady
Flora Hastings, caused so much difficulty with our
friend Victoria, has been dismissed from court. We
are pleased at this result, and feel inclined to the be-

The three Black Crove."—A story is on dts
travels, of a man in Vermont having killed a great
number of crows at a single shot. The quantity has
strangely varied from 28 to 82—why, we can't tell

The Misses Shaw.—These young songsters ere
highly lauded, wherever they vocalize. If they.
were to visit our Borough, they might exchange
Miners' Bank bills for their notes.
. Liberal Thmatiori.—lt is said that John Lowell,
of Boston, died in some remote part of Asia, while
on his travels, and left half of his estate, amounting
to $ 250,000, to the support of free lectures to the
people of Boston. The first course is to be given
next winter, and Mr. Billiman, of New Haven, and
Drs. Palfrey and Walker, of Cambridge, are engaged
for the season.
The increase of public lectures in our country is
si new era in its literaty annals, and the most happy
results may be presaged from, the general diffusion
of knowledge.
Mackevtlf a lakind.—This place, it is well known,
is just below Hell Gate, in the East river, and but a
few miles from the heart of the city of New York.
The corpolation of that city have erected large pris
ons and other works on it, although it has been in
litigation. The Chancellor's Court of Orange Co.
has recently adjudged the proprietorship to George
Hummer, Esq. for his mother, Mrs. Bell. It is
worth near a million dollars, half of which sum has.
been offered by way of compromise. . '
Case..:--The motion for a new trial, on
18 counts, has been rejected ; Judge Todd delivering
the or/on of the court.
day Home..—The North American, (which
paper by the way, we have heretofore neglected to
mention, is now published in a tri-weekly form, con
taining all the matter of the daily,) has several in
teresting letters for the Rev Dr. Humphreys, who
is now travelling the western part of :the Union.
From Lexington he writes the following Hap
pening to meet, and to be introduced to Mr. Clay
in the morning, he very politely invited us to call at
his seat, a mile and a half out of town, which we
did at 4 o'clock. He received us with all the ease
and urbanity for which he is so much distinguished,
and entered freely into conversation upon a variety
of topics as they happened to come up. It is de
lightful to find a great man so perfectly affable
and unaffected; and indeed this is one mark of truo
greatness. "
Asutexo is an enchanting spot. The mansion
simple, spacious and venerable ; standing just on the
border of a park of eighty acres; which for the ma
jesty and beauty of its thousand forest trees, is the
finest I ever saw. Mr. Clay has two other wood
land pastures, and in all, something like 800 acres
in his farm. He has lately turned his attention
very much to raising stock, and it is said no man in
Kentucky, even, can show you fiver oxen and cows
than he can. He spent an hour in welkin% with us
over his grounds, and detained us, almost impercep
tibly to ourselves till nearly sun down. "
Precocious.—On the 4th July a young 'un said
to his father: "Pa, you must give me a quartet of a
dollar to-day." Why. I never give you more than
ninepence•on other holidays," was Pa's cool answer.
"Yes, Pa, I know that," said the lad, "hut proration
has since lost year, and a quarter don't go no
further than a ninepenee used to."

Valpariaso in February, and stated, that while sailing

see a considerable motion of the water immediately
under the lee, and in a moment afterwards an Is
land springing up from the spot, which in a few mo
ments afterwards divided into three parts,. tumbling
over and forming quite a long island. A French
ship of war left Valpariaso a day or two afterwards
for the purpose of surveying it, but has not yet re
turned—and a Chilien transport from Peru, was

Gratefying.—Nye ate pleased to lay before our
readers, the following genuine expression of regard
from the Queen of Candy. We do not feel proud
on the occasion, neither shall we advance our price
of subscription, but, it shall be our endeavor to pro
re a medallion likeness of her majesty as soon as
dossible, to present our readers with the honored
lineaments of one' who btu so correct an idea of
what is due to the dignity of her station.
These, to our well-esteemed Editor oft he Miners'
Journal, Caterer to the Mind, and Journalist of the
GRZETISO :
We have through otir interpreter Hum-hum-o
bug-bug. been highly edified, by the medium of thy
transcendent Journal : twice has he been called on
to repeat the translation of its beauties, and four
score of our maids of honor, have paid the penalty
of treason, for having used its much valued pages
for hair-papers! Imagine, respected Caterer, how
deeply mortifying, when we had feasted in imagi
nation on a third reading of thy last pliesent;----when
we had intended to have superadded, our third to
our first impressions .on thy last impression; how
mortifying to reflect, that Jujube Pasta, Mintsticka,
and other maids of Candy, should have committed
the saoriligious act of maliing.papilottes of it!—
Dire has our vengeance faller. on the unhappy set!
Jujube is condemned to ttamlate each day apage of
a paper, called by thy country men, the Otobe, the
.effect of which, like the Australian lipas tree, brings,
on a long soniferous feeling, Minsticka, who you
well know, is proud of her h.auty, and her choice
perfumes, is condemned to stripes, and is forever de
piived of her Mirror ' she prays for death, 'but it is
not accorded. Molasses, who has ever been fore
most of the tribes of Candy, dated to act as counsel
for these wretches, he treated the subject lightly, try
ing to sugar over the crime, and calling the matter
of the curl-papers a mere ..r.Hjoir.9 nothing!" For
' this haslte been condemned to frightful torments,
more hideous than those allotted to Tantalus of
old—although not a cruel disposition, we devised this
refinement of horror ourself. The decree was this:
on each receipt of thy Journal, after all our court
have read it—at is placed before his sleeping couch,
all carefully covered except its title, with an impene
trable veil,—he sees but cannot read it? Miserable
deludedzan
