POTTSVILLE. Saturday NEFirrtipg, March,9, 1244. A large press of advertisements has en croached a little on our variety this week. ti'aine TnExs.—Por several yeari past we hate regularly as the spring arrived, urged upon our citizens the many' advantages 'to he derived from the -planting orshade trees along the side-walksi in front of their residences; and us the treason for transplanting is at hand, we 'weal againadvert ( . .rthe matter, as a,thing Which ought not Ito be delayed.. The expense: attendant upon the im provement will be very slight ;beautifulumamen. tal trees of various descriptions are found around our neighborhood in profusion, , the trandanting of which Would cost but little • tronble and time. . , I Now e consider that thiseis a subject which • .r. w ' interests every citizen and property holder in the 'Borough. Anything which will' favourably alter ' or beautify the nppearanCe - of.erir town, will be a' common . good, and no one s een doubt that such I would be the effect if our suggestion was univer - sally followed. It would•relieveinn streets from .- much.of their barrnd cheerless appearance, rink ' would present;to our citizens , along with a cool ing shade, a green end "refreshing appearance, which would form a happy con . . In the whole city of Philadel hia, edo not know a more delightful placefOra prom ade du ring a warm summer afternoon; than e pave ment in front of State ]Huse' Row. It is lined with a double row of shade trees, and a more cool and refreshingspot eaturot be found. To say that ' trees in front of a store would obstruct or injuri ously affect the busincaaof such store is ridicnlous 'lY absurd, and we think that every argument of • coalmen sense Would direct us teetitirely a differ ent result If purchasers are to be affected by the ... ' external appearance of a store, they would natu. rally" be attracted to the most cheerful tooling and beautiful establishment. If, on the contrary,,such appearances have, no influence upon trade, then "the improvement becomes a duty abstract ram all selfish considerations. ~ But we consider all this argilantunnecessary, ' Our citizens need nothing of tit kind to Convince them that our advice is good: -They understand, better than we can explain it tosklem, the advan tages which.wOuld proceed from a --pursuance.of, our suggestion, and we cherish it -helve that they, will not be slow to follow it out in pr tics. Mr. Robert Smith of our Borough, willr*ocure and. yansplant trees for those of our citizens who need them, at a moderatecharge, and should they de sire any ornamental trees not to be foutid in the neighborhood, _we will ferniali them ornselves : froth the city, at the same price Which they would be compelled to pay did they purchase them there themselves. . . 1 I • MI LITAZI ELT,CTION:—The election for offi cers cif the first Regiment Schuylkill county Vol. • unteers, took place in this borough 'on Saturday • last. -• Upon counting off the Votes it was disco ered that the following persons were elected: ~ Cotonct.- 7 Fa..okis M., Wvcs.eop. .f.ieut..Coionet—Ci.tnr.Es M..

There.are now attached to this regiment eight completely ,equipped and ~organized Volunteer Companies, which in point of drill, discipline, or soldierly appearance, cannot be excelled by any others in . the State. Of this number Pottsville furnishes four companies, Minersville two, Schuyl- • kill Haven one;and Orwigsburg one. There is . ..also another corps in Our borough not attached to the Regiment; (The Jackson Guards) which make • nine full companies within; a 'Circuit of miles. Few regions in the'State Can boast, a greater de gree of military spirit than this. Tat COAL Tsang.—A reducnon'Of 12i cents per ton on 'BOO,OOO tons of Coal (the cillantity that will be shipped froin this region this, rear,) will amount to • $lOO,OOO 61 . cents redviction to _ 50,000 3 cents " to- • 114,000 • A heavy responinbifity rests uppn those whp would rob this region of this large Sum . through a spirit of foolish rivalry, caleulated r only to : utjure themselves and and all those e,ngaged in the trade; .when a fair remunerating price can be obtained. And besides, any reduction made the price of Coal; predicated upon a reduction in the price of labor, or even based on_ the present rates paid to miners and lab-orers, is absolutely 'and morally • ' wrong, bedaure the l'aiorers are not a party to the contract. Such per - ions ',will soon 'finethat they aro trading on capital that does not belong them, and which, if such a 'course is persisted in, they will find beyond their power to control. • • OzzrznAL MAmair, the ^Democratic Whig Candidatefor Governor, i s by profession a Farmer, iesiding in Westmoreland cpunty.

BLACK'S EDDT OtTLET.—If the Legislature world suffer the rotten Coal Corporations in the Lehigh 'region, to sink under their present Ichsd of iniquity -land debt, instead of bolstering their' up by LegiSlativc enactments, that regiEni would soon , teem with individual enterprise, and the quanti, ty of coal transported over the Delaware Divisidn of the Pennsylvania canal, would be more than doubled in a fen- years. Coal Corporations engaged in mining base proved to be one of the greatest curies ever inflict., ed upon the State. They are all utterly and hope lessly bankrupt, With but one single exception, and even thai-doubtful—and their business iscon- Autted in ,the most reckless manner, without gard to , profit, provided they can palm off their . worthless stock on the unwary, and succeed in crushing individual enterprise engaged in the same branch of business eliewhere. ! To exhibit the Character of the Lehigh cpnaria `ny in bold relief, we need only state, that while they are begging the Legislature, with tears in their eyes, to destroy the value of the Delaware of the Pennsylvaniaa Canal, by grantqlg them • an Outlet at Black's Eddy, on the 'ground that it is necessary to compete with this regicnn this company are now absolutely offering to sal their Coal. at from 25 to 37 1 b cents per ton lies I on board at Bristol, than White Ash C,Otil . fr4m this region can be put on board at.llichmnnd, at the present low rates by Rail Road.

This, it is .presumed, will hardly be necessary,. It is not probable that either they, or their Church will be troubled with' the presence of a Catholic pastor for many a day to come. A reformed minister would suit those men better, whom they could litre by the month, and discharge , when they please. For the sake of the Catholie congregation, whose interests these lay-governors of the Church sacrifice' without scruple. it is understood that measures will be immediately dopted for the erection of another Church. There is a conviction gradually settling, 'down in the minds of the faithful, that neither their reli gion nor their propertyds safe, so long as imieraut and vicious men, unsound in faith and morals, who wish to make Catholicism conform to Fiis testanism, are permitted, under the mask ofitini;- teeism, to invade the contributions of the people for-the support of religion ; nay, to destroy that re: : ligion itself. " The Auestion is seriously entertain- . ed in many places, both by the clergy and congi,e, .gatioris, whether it is not wiser and cheaper to quit the churches 'thus governed; and build new ones, than struggle against the everlasting debts; which their trustees have the legal . power to con tract, but have not the moral influence to provide for. It Matters not that among the trustees there are found men of pure and exemplary lives ;—mcn who love their faith and their church, as they do their own being. These are indeed blessings where they are found ; but what security is there, while the intriguing infidel who wea-s the mask of religion, but inwardly hates it, may succeed to have them displaced, and himself appointed in their stead? What security is there, while at ev ery change, such individuals may be introduced, who will soon distract the congregations, l and bring in prompt ruin, when all is at present peace and piety ? • We are sadly _ . mistaken in the signs of the times, if a period be not fast approaching, when we shall haVe trustees managing churches with out priests; and congregations with priests, but without trustees. • The actual history of two' or 'three churches 'in the neighborhood of the city might be cited in support of this view."

The Lecture of Mr. Icutchin, on Tuesday even ing last "An Superstition," drew together with some exceptions, an audience willing to have their Own preconceived opinions subjected to the tut of enticism. Superstition, is a broad field, in which the frailties of human nature may be snap ed ill divers colors, degrees and consequences; and: your correspondent expected a side thrust oc casionally on his own account; but the singular ni'ode of attack, end system-:of - reprisal, pursued by the lecturer, amused, while it made our littk opinions as ridiculous as they were unsound. • We admired the originality of the lecture, and the independence of the• lecturer ; but ire must confess, that in our opinion, the terms God, and Jeglis 0 14 51 ? : 10 43 tktkve been esiircwat with more reverence, and the veil &client repe lion of aell end the Devil. might have been omit • in -a great measure, Without destroying the P • "lien in his argument. As the lecture, and !eau. , map be misrepresented . to some extent, it would be. prudent to judge with charity, of both, un ess the opinion expressed comes from those w o were . present—and even then, truth, unless dre sod up with due regard to our owikopinions, is - a t . to be , unpalatable. - (0-On Tuesday evening next, Mere 12th, • Dr. Adolphus Lippe's Lecture on “ Horn paths." wilt be presented ; and we presume, an le anti intercsing production.
