The mßlt.ary and civic ceremonjes in comment- monition'of Geperal Andrew Jackson, took place in Pottsville on s Thuraday. All the arrangements conilcted with the solemnities were carried out • agreeably to the programme, as announced; and with a decorous jopriety, creditable to those upon whom the duties of arrangement and direction had develved. The military di-play was certainly very large and fine, although not so large as was antici • pined. All the companies of the borough belong ing to the regiment, were out in good numbers.— These were the First Troop, the National Light Infantry:Washington Artillerists. German Yagers, Marion Rifles, and Hibernia Jackson Guards. The company. of. Artillery from Port Carbon were out • with theie,usual complement of muskets, and also the fine Company of Infantry froin Orwigsburg; . but except the se"two companies, none of the mil itary companies of the county, out of Pottsville, participated in the solemnities. The Misses who represented the Statei, were clad in white, with black caps and veils; each Miss bore in her hand a small banner with the name of the State which she represented upon it. The effect was well de signed and solemn. The different civic associations, with their bad ges and ; craped banners, and the different orderi of Odd Fellows with their rich regalia, and the officers .of the militia, made up the pageant.— nit several streets. through which, the prOcossion: passed were crowded, and the windows of the houses taxed to their utmost. capacity. -The pro_ cession moved to the orchard,'Where the Rev.

We observed that the fronts of many of the houses on the streetathrough which the Preces sign stood, *era clothed in black, and in some in stances, black was suspended across the streets, ium the roofs' and windows. We are requested to state; that all those ha 7 sing claims against the Committee. of Arrange-, meat fin the, Funeral ProSessian; will please pre. sent them for settlement, at Judge Paliner's office, at 8 o'clock, this evening,. • • Tecrstaattio.--The intercourse between Potts villa and the Atlantic cities, via the Reading Rail Road, is rapidly increasin ki; the "daily, trains from Philadelphia are almost always full. But it is not only with the cities that our intercourse is increas ing; there is also a vastly augmented travel; by, all the stage routes from Pottsville. There arc now two lines of btages running to Mauch Chunk dai s ly, and those hie often found insufficient' fur the accommodation of travellers. It . has frequently happened lately, that the proprietors have been o bliged to run extra coaches, and "mere than once seven stages have been started to Mqueh Chunk at one time. The up country stages also' travel well tilled, and it is no uncommon thing to employ extras on this ratite. There are three lines of tem_ nibusses plying regularly between Pottsville and 'Yfinersville, a distance of fotir Miles, and so far as we have,peee able to obseke them, they always • rue IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS ANNEVA.TION AcexerEu.—The Texan Con gress hu agreed, by a unanimous vote. to the'an taxation resolutions of our Ccngress: This news -was brought by the U.

The morning was ushered iti.)iy the national sa lute fired by the 1 1 k ashington Artillerists,. in Mar ket Square. The streets were at an ear ly hour and continued crowded during the There was evidently a consideMble influx of vis, item from the 'country, and the iourrouridine tmens. The military were on parade by . 8 o'c.lock, and the streets wet, enlivened by the music of the differ ent bands, till about 2 o'clock.

Captain idames .Nagle, is one of thel handsomest companies in the county; and in their parade on Friday, by their prompt, precise, and rapid mOvi ments, .gave ample proof that they, appreciated and had profitted by the supclior unlittry talent, and indefatigable efforts of their . able commander. The..lfarion laftea, Captain, S. .1. 1 Potts, were out in greater numbers than either Of the other eomponies. `This corps has not been' 111 existence a year, but their appearance is manly and soldier like, and their drill creditable, and gives token 'of future superiority.- The 'steadyncss, regularity, and general excellence of their imovements, wheel ing, &c.. excited admiration and surpirise.• The German lagers, Captain Doelflinger, ac -companied by their good band; : alwaya attracts no tice; they did some excellent Marchirieand bore themselves like soldiers taught in a Koper school of discipline. __lt The Ilibernia Jackson Gnords, Captain Jack son, is composed of stalwart, sturdy fellows; they looked exceedingly well, and exhibited a decided Improvement iutheir drill. Capt. Jackson is a superior officer, and has labored hard with his com .pany; we are glad to witness his success: The First Troop,_Capt. G., C. Wynkoop, wore out; we did not see much of them during the day, but as they passed our domicile in the morning, we were pleased to remark their irnpriired numbers and appearance.' The volunteers of Pottsville, compose as fine a body oflneri as are'to be found among the volunteers of any other portion of the' State, and we hazard nothingin gaying.that. no where in the State can there be fottrid an equal number of citizen 'soldiers, superior to them in drill, discipline and martial appearance; indeed, this re mark will apply to the volunteeit of the . whole county, and the county may justlY: be proud of .her citizen soldiery. • The day w4swariously celebrated. Those of the Loccifocot who were disposed to celebrate it as a political party; sat down to,a dinrie•, that was doubtless a geed one, at Hotel. We doubt not that the day was fitly tionored,4 speech es and witty stiyings; and tliat good toasts, were drunk, some of their) natieneLnnd . rirne intended to distinguiih the-prominent uien of their political faith. -The Whigs had no party grithering,lkita good- Iy company of pleasantcorni4hions, got together, without•reterence' to political' creed or Bias, and discussed a roost eicelle'nt dinner at Hill's Hotel.

The town of Port Carbon is iitukted,on the Schuylkill river, about two miles Vora Pottsville, and is the seat of a considerable Coal Trade. The completion,of the Port Carbon and Mount Carbon Rsil-rold, has opened wore rapid com munication between Port Carbonand the Atlantic cities, tharkwasfurnished by the Schuylkill Nav igation, and is proving of immense importince to the former, : loam. This Road was constructed under the energetic directimi:of F. liewson, Esq. in a style.of superior-solidity and permanency; it is about 2 Miles in length, and tape the Schuyl kill Valley and the Mill Creek roads at Pon Carbon, and connects with the Reading Rail-road at. Mount Carbon. The 4rst train of loaded cars, pass,ed over it on the 30th\rf last November. ' Its tonnage is already heavy, and is rapidly inciea sing, and will continue to '..iiteresse, &tithe differ ent Collieries around and beyond Port Carbon, and OA the line of the Schuylkill Valley and the Mill Creek Roads, are br•ought. into connection vvith " • The New Track on the Mill Creek Road from its termination, to its junction with the Port Car bon Road„at Port Carbon`, has been completed . about one Month ; the transportation of coal over it from the Collieries along ihe Mill Creek, has been, from its opening heavy, and the large week. ly increase; is proving the great capacity . pf that portion of the coal "diitrict. The Bridge of the Mill Creek Road across the Schuylkill, is a beautiful and substantial structure.' It is a Burr bridge, with a single span of 120 feet. The Schuylkill Valley Read was completed to its.terrnination,!under the direction Of A. W". Cra-' vat, Esq., Engineer, on the 10th inst. The length of this Road, front its junction with the Port Carbon , ROad, at Port Carbon, to Tuscarora, is about 9 miles ; it sweeps through one of the richest portions of the coal 'region nd perhaps adds a third 'at least, to the area of accessible coal fields in this district, The lengtliof the old Road which was entirely'worn out, was 10i miles, but the numerous-and troublesome curves of the old road 'are avoided in the new. • The grade is more perfect, and the effective capacity of the road grea ter. The whole of the immense tonnagf r of coal which passes over tbisload, as well as that which I • passes over the . Mill Creek road, is sent from Port Carbon to PhiladelphM and the Eastern markets, either by the Reading Rail Road, or the Schuylkill Navigation. The numerous Landingis °tithe lino of the Navigation at Port Carbon, are ample for a heavy trade, while the Reading Rail Road offers facilities for rapid transportation to those operators who prefer this' more expeditions channel; so that the coal operators who ship from Port Carbon, can suit their own, convenience or preference in the use of either of these two . avenues. By the construction of the Port Carbon and Mount Car bda Rail Road, and the Schuylkill Valley and Creek Rail Roails, which. are tapped; by it at POrt Carbon, thP immense coal fields lyirM in that portion of the Coal region are brought practically nearer to Market, and it will readily, be seen that this must have a salutary effect upon the prosper ity and growth of Port Carbon; it will give addi tional, impetus to the coal trade, and while that thrives rifavorable impulse .is felt by every other employment, and ,especially by the industrial and mechanical interests; apd when the enlargement of the Schuylkill Navikationobalt be completed, •it will necessarily give a still more decided and rapid motion to improvement. One of the surest evidences of the prosperity of Port Carbon, is found in the well-to-do cbndition of the mechanical and industrial classes, Tho numerous stores, too; are all driving an active and profitable business. The people of Port Carbon are enterprising and energetic. The value of property has ecinsidem _bly advanced during the last year. =There, as in all the towns in the o coal region, the miner and labourer loves to possess his own little home; and numerous building ' , Astaire passed into the hands of that portion of the population during the last year; many of them have already erected; and ma ny more are now erecting hOusee adapted to their wants, convenience and comfort. The Presbyterian congregation have a commo dious and well built atone 'Church, with a tower and a bell; and the Academy, which is also of atone, is a largo well arranged and convenient buildit)6o There is a large feuntity at rort carbon, own ed by Tobias Winterstein, which is tieing a heavy business: A steam flour mill, owned by Law. renca F.

Botha of the fallacious statement's tefered to are intended to operate firstly npoa the Contrac tors, by the most unfounded reprosantatiotai, rela tive to the ability of the Navigation Company, to pay for the work; and secondly, upcM coal deal ers in - distant places, by impressing them with the, erroneous belief, that the enlargement is not in tended to be prosecuted to completion. We have ascertained by inquiring in the proper quarter, that the Navigation Company have at command, ample means to finish the new tier of Locks, many of which are now in teiive progress, and all of which, are to be finished by April, 1846. Attempts have also been made recently, to in duce this view York coal dealers, to believe - that coal cannot be easily shipped at thialtime, on the Canal.
