DANVILLE BRANCH or THE POTTSVILLE RAIL- . no a o.—At the meeting held Danville on the 9th ins!., a committee appointed to teepans statement 'of facts, relating to , the 'proposed road. The committee have faithfully discharged their dit ty, by publishing in tile columns of. the Danville papers, a well written statement about two columns . in length which says that length of the road to be made will not exceed eight miles,before it in tersects the 'Sunbury and Pottiville road,' at a point about seven miles from 'Shamokin. • This road can be made with an easy grade, and without an inclined plans, from its commencement its termination or point of intersectiOn." . The 'statement' goes on to show the cost of the proposed branch, and makes a calculation as to the amount of freight which would pass over the road. The result arrived at, is "that the amount of tolls received will, after paying the Company of the Danville Rail Road' 10 per cent. per annum up on the original cost of . the work, leave-an annual valance in the treasury of the Company of $lB,- 000, to be applied to the payment of the officers of the Company, repairs, and if necessary, a renewal of the road, and all other incidental expenses."

The parts of which it is composed, were .written by other hands than those of a Whig, and at an earlier period than 1845. The letters Are certainly genuine, and the 'hard-fisted'Aemocracy can now have a peep at the private §liovements of these leaders.

The mineS in Buchess find Columbia counties, in this State. produce annually 20,00 Q tons of ore ; Esiex Co. 15000 tons ; Clinton 3000 ;' Franklin' 600 St: Lawrence 2000 ; amounting in value to more than $.500,000.' The 'value of the iron produced in the Unified States in 1835 ivas $5,000,000, in 1837 $7,700,000. In Ohio 1200 square miles -are underlaid with iron.
