New buildings are springing up in every quarter, and all kinds of bu siness, except the Coal Trade, : Oppeare to be in a flotirishing condition. It is blessed with a num ber of Churches, School Houses, &c., and the hlic Schools, with the exception of the present' year, we believe, were kept open the whole year round. This year a vacation Of three months will take place. There are three Steam Engines used for various purposes, in operation within.the lim its of the Borough, and one or two others are in the course of erection. The Steam Machine Shop and belonging to thS Messrs. Dehavais, whO are enterprising and public spirited citizens; ia doing a large business—they turn out .ex cellent work, and employ upwards of twenty hands. In addition to their other business, they have Commenced making Steam Engines, and aro now engaged in building the first one for propel-, ling Mr" Wm. Payne's Coal preaker, which he is erecting at his Mines, at Chapmanville. Horticulture too has not tiscaped the attention of our enterprising neighbors. • During our short stay in the place, we visited one or two Gardens, which in point of beauty, wilt vie with any in the county. Many of the beautiful collections of Flowers were clothed in all their native 4randcur, while the esculent plants, were quite is forward and equally as flourishing ait in any other section of the county. _ The prOprietors of the Town Plot have held out every inducement to settle in this quarter. They have soldll their lots at reasonable rates, giving the purchaser considerable time to, make ,his pay_ merits, on condition that: he!would within a speci fied tithe erect a house on • the lot. The conse quence is that the town improved rapidly, and at least threc-fourths of the houses belong to an en terprising class of Mechanics and 'laborers, who 'reside in the borough; and', pursue their different avocations in and around the immediate vicinity. Waled rejoiced in chronicling such evidences of improvement in every section of our region, and ardently do we hope that' the time is not far dis tant, when the halcyon daYii of • prosperity will a gain dawn upon our region, rewarding the laborer for his toil, the business nian for his investments' and the husbandman for the products of the soil,-- then indeed wilt peace, happiness and prosperity reign triumphant through Out the 'region.

To a close observer of passing events in this country, it is well known that next to the n 'gitation of the School Question, nothing has con tributed so much to inflame the minds of the pep ple as the abuse of our citizens, the Legislative ho dies, and all those institutions, which have dared to question any of their Acts, or thwart any of think schemes whether of foreign or domestic o r igin,!as the preis under the control of the Roman Catho lics. This is notorious—and if therm anY of our readers who doubt' the astsertion, we incite them to read the following article from the 'Boston Pilot \ °lion° 22d, 1844, which is in character With a number of other articles which have ap i peared in that publication within a few Years. 1 I The Pilot is tl4, acknowledged organ of the Bo man Catholicrilbf New England, and is published with the approbation of the Bishop. It is i the Leading article, and we publish it in full letter for letter, as it appears in that paper: . , 724 4 461 •..> Font the Boston PilOt of June 7.2 d, Vitt I British intrigue and Domestic 'Factions, The questions of extreme delicacy and itdpor tance on which this country and Great Britain are now at issue, renders it Possible, that that power unscrupulous, corrupt, and liberty•hatirig as she is —should employ all her machinery and some of her secret service money, in causing and promoting domeStic discord in the United States. I Within a few months, three highly important causes :have existed, to incite her. to such means of defence.— These are the Oregon and Texas Questions; and the late Commercial Treaty between this country and the Zollverein, or Prussian Cabinet, by which the Manufactures of the United States. will be 0 1- 1 added: to undermine the British sales, in the Mar-I kets lof Prussia. . I - England finds herself In no condition for War—: although her navy floats as strongly as of oldal though her armies ate as numerous, and her min-I isters as willing as in former days—England will, never enter into a war, even with a-third rate powi Qr, while Scotland is in the midst! of religions cominotion, and Ireland heaving in the Pregnani cy of her independence. -What she would do, if she could; can be plainly gathei - ed from the: fierce ly indignant comments of her press on the, Prus:-, sian Treaty, and from the remarks of her foremost Parliament -men on the annexation of Texas. But time has taken from her millions -that eagerness , for war, which in the days of good feeding tharae- : teriied the • Bull fairly! proper and that iMicidal' loyalty which once belonged to their cousins-ger man beyond the Tweed and beyond the Channel:', ,iEsop, the wisest slave that ever lived, relates'a story of an old lion, who, having lost his strength in the course of years; employed an ass to! entrap. the beasts towards his den, that he might feast as usual. The Native American Party in the Übi l . ted States, are now playing the same ass:resin part for England. Do'not these most • Ametican-Ofr , citizens (in their own esteem,) perceive the error of their course, in feeding the deceased body pOII-: tic, with rancid poisonous food, in order the more speedily to give a job to that great undertakerl of Christendom's nations—the Government! of Eng land? Do not they see that in endeavoring Ito ward off a friendly foreign influence, they' make a breach in the social system. by which a hostile kli plomacy may walk int*an easy Victory; that they act like one, who %cora beat off n valuable mad iary in order that henaight perish alone by theat tacks of foes, whom both combined could'lprostrate forever? if party of burglar now rampant in the city of Penn, and in , the city bf Rip Van Win kle, contained as much burins e ellectively, as a Choctaw Senate when by their council fire, they Would learn that their "very exis ence aS a nation depends on the Irish population ) of this' country.

It ill becomes any A-. , merican to taunt Irishmen on'the score Of bravery, and even, if such persons are' born here, that; can be no reason why they should he suffered to lie With impunity.

The tldg of America is not yet seventy years old, 'and thrice the native ions of America have de.iertediit:— Therefore, we advise l these coWards and sorts of cowards, to beast moderately and in the conipany of men, who never met them en the field, or I-rui ning from it; for us, they can! neverpersuade, , of their wonderful blood-thirstiness.- As', shopkeep ers, they are excellent; as merchants they Die en terprising and persevering; as usurers they; have ,no equals in the world; but ds soldiers, every ,na-; tive ought to belong to the - Peace Soelety.i Wo will not return insult for insult, but we give back truth for falsehood,—truth which thelpen df his-, tory has` recorded, and over which the genions of republicanism weeps—truth written in the treach ery of Arnold, the Races of Bladensburg, and,`, the mutinies of New Orleans. Let rogues preach honesty, and aldermen temperance, for they have experienced the, reverse; and on the wine principle let a certain class of brawling native poltroons; pa rade their valor'to the world in general, land to those who fought their batiks imparticulai. All their insults, their calumn i es,- and their torches, cannot teach-"ifs to hate a principle Which;is „ our own inheritance, and whicili we, will stand by to the last man,—the principle of equal! justice. - If, however, they are resolved to have Congress; do their bidding on the naturalization days, they should wait until we aro disfranchised before they _pour their vituperation on us, for they • tnust lre member, that when th abuse citizens naturaliz ed by law, they abuse th law itself,and'of a con sequence, the law-maker , their own; fathers.' • 'Fo save the hings of native orators, and much useful ink to native presies, and to shield!from the vengeance of heaven, the four-praying parsons who mingled. in the late Philadelphia riots, who were 'zealous even untolslaying,' and that Irish men will never.give up their share of the Consti tution.
