Thera is perhaps no better mode of proving the
beneficial effects of a Protective Policy aipen the
satied brioches of, bulimia, of a country. than by
collecting statistical information showing the in
, .creasein ins branch of huainstaa ;which has sprung

point in Pennsylvania so well calculated to exhibit
its salutaryeffects than the Coal . llegion of Schuy I.
'I kill Co., which owes its iMportance entirely to the
Coal Triulk and which purchases almoat every
article of consumption within its limits.
In 1842, we, in company With two gentlemen,
devoted several days to the preparation of some
statistics exhibiting the investment cif capital in
this region up to that period, and the -annual con
gumption of produce and ruerchamlize. This ta
ble was prepared with great care while Con

of Produca and Merchandise has also nearly dou

The quantity of Oil included in Groceries is a'
preuy considerable item. It is, cstbnated tbat the
quantity -consumed in the region la 4 year, w a s
worth at least one.kundred and sixty thoust . ujid

LcsinEn.—The quantity "of durntier

buildings, is very large in this-region—and the
value of The timber used in the miller, for. pr4s,
Sautes, dtc., will not fall short of ) fty oousarld
dollars per annum, and very probably exceed it.
COAL RBl(Te.—The incoMe received last year
by the holden of Cos!Janda; for Coal land, did
not fall short of-three hundred thousand dollars.
This is i s large sum extracted from our mm
tains annually in the dupe of rent.
The above eatitilatea are based upon correctdata,'
sad will rather fall under. than over-run the re
ality.
ft is hardly necessary to add that - the market,
created in this region for the produce of the Far.
the: his nearly doubled the value of farming lands
in Schuylkill county, and has also increased the
value of lands in the adjoining counties: Our
Farther, also appear to be aware of the necessity
of protection for the ,consumption of the produce
of their farms—they are all in favor of the Tariff of
1842 as it is—they have alitactical illustration of_
its good effects before them—they know'and see
that the (Jost region of Schuylkill county, which
but a few years age was a howling Wilderness, is
now the heat market in the state—and wo!' unte
the political prospects of that man who would dare
to preach up the absurd and destructive doctrine
of Free Trade, under ousting circumstances, to
the Farmers of Schuylkill county.
GREAT WOUR:dif
ao.se.—On the 20th ultimo: the business. receipts
of the read were over $7OOO, or at the rate of
$2.170400 per annum. This is the largest husi- •
ness ever done in a single day by any Railroad
in the' world. The Great Western Railroad in
England never 'approached it, we are informed.
' We clip the above from' one of our exchanges.
With regard to the actual receipts, it'is net correct,
but when we speak comparative/y, it is true. The
receipts on the following named English Roads
for one week in March were as follows : .
/earth.. Cast. Receipts.
London &Birmingtiam, 112 *23,000.000 $156,500
Great Western, 221 037,250,600 $71,570
Midland & Birmingham, 249 , 8314.00,000 *61,785
yheßesiling Rail Road is only 94 miles in length ,
and cost a little rising of Ten Millions dollars, and
has only been completed a little over a year with
a double track, cpnsequently it is only in "its in
fancy," while the English roads have been in op.
oration for several years, with all their resources
fully developed. And *ides the receipts on the
above mentioned Roads are principally for mer
chanditeand passenger travel - , which pays Much
higher-rates than the heavier articles of tonnage.
On the Reading Rail Road the - principal receipts
are dcrivedfrom the transportation of Coal; which
does not ay more than about one-third charged
for Passengers and merchandize. ' When these
things are all taken into consideration, together
with the cost and extent of the Road. the receipts
, mentioned are probably without.s parallel.
Tua At:oyer lareassr.—The State Treasu
ter has issued an important Circular, in which he
states that the loss sustained by the •State in de.
magrs and tolls, will reach $306.000, but believes
that the-increased tolls during the label° year, will,
matte up that, deficiency., Notwithstanding 'this`
loss he felieves that the honor of the State can be
maintained and the interest paid, if the collectors
are prompt in collecting the tares in the early part
of the year.;—and as an inducement for so doing
he trrikes the same offer he did last year' of an
abatement of 5 per cent to t all those &iuntici, that
pay into the'State Treasury their full quota, of

patched, upon this intimation, but events Connee
ted with affairs in Mexico had prevented his re
ception, and ou the 24th of December last he was
refused to be received. '
Iri January Gen. Paredes succeeded to the
head of aiiiiirs, and Mr. Slithdl was again in.:•
structed to firesent his credeutials which were
refused. The American forces thus far had been
kept at Corptis Christi. But nowMexicovvould
not recognize the American }Minister; 'and as
Texas had asserted the Rio Bravo 'or the Rio del
Forte as the boundary iu 106, the army was 'or
dered there oil account of convenience in,procu
ring prouisious and obtaining reriiii.ite sup
plies. Gen. Amptdia, however, had notified
Geu. l'agor on the 12th ultimo, that he must
retire from his position, and or the 26th Gen. A
rista notified Gen. Taylor that he considered hos
tilities as already commenced. From these cir
cumstances ensued the difficulties which are now
known to the public. Gen. Taylor had called
on Texas and Louisiana fur troops, and the pres
ident wishes Congress to recognize a war. , Ile
asserts dial a state of tear exists, and' recom
mends that a War be recogiiizetl by Congress.
He suggests that authority be given him to call a
large body of volnate,ers into 'the service of the
United States, to be enlisted for twelve months,
and that liberal provisions be made for the re
quisite 'applies.
The House of Representatives immediately
acted on the Message by declaring the. COuntry
in a state of' War, and voting an appropriation of
$10,000,000 to, carry, on the war, and authorizing
the enlistment of 50,000 volunteers, by a vote of
117 to 14. The Dill passed the Senate immedi
ately by a. vote 0f.40 to 2, after an effort to strike
out the Preamble, which failed. • The 16 who
opposed the Bill, were not opposed to making
the appropriations of $10.009;000, and enlisting
the 50,000 volunteera—but they were opposed to
.
the wording of the preamble of the 'Bill; which
they considered objectionable.
Gen. Taylor being, authorized by the Govern
ment to call for volunteers at any time, L made a
requisition on the Governor of Texas and Louis
iana for four regiments of volunteers frOm each
of those •States. Ho also recommended the ap
pointment of a Brigadier General by the, l Gover
nor of Louisiana, to accompany to troops that
wouldproceed from that State the the seat of war.
• The Louisiana Legislature passed AI, bill to
raise four regiments of volunteers, and appro
yriated $lOO,OOO for the ptirpose. The Delta
says, the most intense excitement prevails in the
city. The Governor and his Staff are engaged iu
forming the Lumina of the'ioposed military or
ganization: rendezvou.s,for the enlistment of vol
unteers—from each 'of which the national flag
waves—have been formed in every street and at
every corner: business is ultagether suspended.
and all is ardor, enthusiasm and excitement.
The Governor of Louisiana promptly complied
with the ropiest of. Gen. Taylor, and appointed
Gen. Fender F. Smith to the command of the
troops to be raised fur reinforcing the Army. of
Occupation. • ' e•e-

HE unpredecented success that has attended the
T
use of thesel'ills in the practice (If the proprietor
.for the last sir or eight years, has induced him to yield
to the importunities of many who have used and been
berrefitted by them, and maks arrangements to place
them within the reach of the public generally. In do
ing so he feels called upon to saY that the {lndian Ve
getable Restorative Pillsare decidedly superior to any
with which he is acquainted. They corribine the prop
erties of many of the hest vegetable medicines, (used
in Pills) Mauch a manner as to "afford rnot !only imme
diate. and temporary but permanent relief.'
k The valuable tonics which enter into their compost
non by their action upon the secretory organs hold in
chock the purgative principle and induce a gentle and
natural operation without inconvenience or pain, and
while they restore a natural and healthy action of the
stomach, liver and bowels, they increase, instead of
'diminishing the strength of the patient.. The general
opinion that a powerful and violent purgative is neces
sary, is founded in mai, they in general'irritate the
stomach and bowels,,derange the, secretions and are
produclise of very serious consequences, and it should
he known that the great mass of pills in general use
are composed of 'the most powerful and 'Orating purga
tives, and act with too great a degree of violence, pro
during that derangement in the system that is followed
by constipation of the bowels, indigestein and costive
nesse. From these facts the natural inference would
be that to maintaim uniform health, itaii necessary to
correct unhealthy secretions, expel morbid humors and
purify the system, by the use of a medicine that will act
efficiently yet mildly, assist inste ad of disarranging the
organs of the system and thus bring nature in its prd
per and healthy channel. To accomplish' which, no
medicine is superior to the Indian Vegetable Restora
tive Pills ; their operation is,inordinarydoses, to pro
mote a natural and easy evacuation, and at the .same
time by their tonic prOperty impart vigor land health to
the system; but when a\ powerful and speedy operation
is necessary, it will be-accomplished by increasing the
dose, which may he done with perfect safety as they
are entirely Vegetable. ,
They have been used as a family medieind for years
by many of the first respectability—and although they
are not recommended to "heal all,the ills that flesh is
heir to," yet it has been' very rare !hail it, has been
found necessary for those using them to' employ any
other medicine, and their occasional use will almost in
variably prove an effectual preventive to disease.—
They are exactly adorned: to the use of families,.trav
niters and seamen ; they cleanse the blood,, causing a
free circulation—open obstructions and-,promote the
secretion of healthy bile,' and consequently are an ex
celicntmedicine for Nausea, Indigestion, Nervous dis
