birROVIMENTS 111 POTT/TlLLE—Throughout I
the entire y-ear the work of improvement goes
steadily ori7in,Pottaville, but the arrival of Spring
always appears to give•an additional impUlrie to
business'of evert. kind, and to infuseasew acti
vity among the ViTsittess community. New, houses
are built, and old ones enlarged, new rtMes , rtre
opened, and fresh snicks of goods placed upon the
shell'ies of old stands ? and marty:ne:tv faces are
added to the population, most of whom Isecortie
permanent residents—for it is a 4etl fact that,el-
I most every one who has lived a short tinier in
1 Pottsville never wants to live,any where else.'
:Though the season has been, rather backward
thus far, and somewhat unfivorable to building,
many
. impruvements are already in Progress, and
many others contemplated.. which will soon be
commenced. In every part of our borough new
houses are in process of erectiOn.and"we arerglifil
to see that the stYle,of building is improying—
good substantial dwellings being substituted for ,
the-old shatifees which -Were perfect eye sores.--
The hewed which were formerly, erected in Potts
ville, were mere shells, 'which did not furnish any
thing like a protection against wind and weather.
These, however, are' rapidly 'disappearing. and, rn
Centre street scarcely any of them. remain. We
see that a large brick store house is going
,up in
Centre slim,' just above the ToWn Hall, which
willtake the place cif one of the dilapidateri relics
of PUttssille's early dry, adding much to the
beauty of the street without, we presume, inter-.
rupting the comfort of any one.
Among the principal business improvements in
the: borough, , we observe that Mr. Jenkins is
building a large addition to his wire works in
Coal Wert. We understand that is linen
! lion to put, up an Engine for the purpose of ap.
plying steam power to the manufscture of his pa.
lent woven wire screens. , •
Mr. -William Hill is also engaged in erecting on
Coal street, an Iron Foundry fur the casting of
Plates -for stoves,and wo believe for other light
*
castings. • '

:We would not like to omi i noticing among the
improvernents now in prOgress, two , cottages - it.-
the gnglish "style, which are being erected for 'Mr.
Pinkerton, - in the upper part of Mahantango street.
We are inclined to believe that they will be when
completed, hot only an ornament to that portion
of the.bolough, but the neatest and most pleasant
-dwellings in Pottsville. We should be gratified
to see many such erected in all parts of our town
and county. - -They would odd much to thebeauty
of the region and the comfort of its inhabitants.

FROM -T`HE ARMY
The next news froth the Army under command
of Gen. Scottwill be looked for with great anx-
iety. All aCeounta seem to agree that Santa '
Anne and Gem Vega were in the neighborhood
of Jalapa with a large force estimated at from 8
to 20,000 men. Dates .to the 14th of April from
Vera Cruz says that Santa Anna Was.reported
to,he on the route to Cerro Gordo; with 12,000
men. 4 .. scouting party front Gen. Twiggs had
been attacked ; Lieut. Col. Johnson bad been se
verely wounded while examining' Santa Annas'
works. About 50 Americans had been killed with
in a few days; orthe . rogds near Veri - Cruz. Gen,
.Scott had left the City to join Gen. Twiggs. A
letter to the N: 0. Dejta, expresses on opinion
that Cero Gordo, which is a strong mountain fort
22 miles from Jalapa;had already, April 14th.been
taken by assault. A large• detachment of the

from which we extract, confirms the above r:
Santa Anna leaves to day fur Jalapa, where he
will unite his forces with that of Gen. La Vega,
who is now at the' defencea of. the' :National
Bridge. Santa Anna says he goes to conqtier or
die; but this he has said an often, thatwe cannot
put, much reliance on the threat. He takes with
him 20.000 men of all arms, the greater part.' of
them being taken from -( jarochada) the tersest.
class of the people, who- are good for fighting. 4
They will, however, have no , other advantages
over the army which marched from San Luis, ex
cept that they will not he cittar.elled to the same
dreary march through vast wildernesses, Wand
I
posed to continual cold and rain: But they are
equally destitute of resources and means, having
no provisions, and no money to buy any: ..We-have
therefore no reasons for expecting any other re
:mks than have characterized the former enterpri
ses. It is said that if the Americans pass the Na
tional Bridge and march towards the capital, the
whole people of Mexico will rise en mane to re
pel the invaders! But we do not doubt that a
force of 10.000 or 12,000 Americans will not en
counter, on the murch, a Mexican army sufficient

gress.
Santa Anna says there shall never be peace es
`long as their is one American in Mexico.
GEN. TAYLOR & POLK'S ORGAN.
"The spectacle is the more disgusting," says
the Washington Union, speaking of the move
ment in ,behalf of Gen. Taylor, " because the
"opposition arc stealing all the houors oqu war
"which they have denounced as disgrace - fill and
"unjust. It is as if they reprobated thw theft,
"whilst they are willing to profit by the stofen
"goods;"
The movement to make Gen. TAYLOR, Presi
dent is displeasing to the "Union" and its On
federates—a fact which would be. distresaingi if
any. wish to please them.
But as for General Taylor and the-Whigs tines
not the Union know that, they tire of the sarrie
mind with regard to the measures whieh,led to
the war with Mexico ? In his private judgement .
Gen. Taylor did not concur in the propriety or
policy of the initiatory steps which pre:chided a
peaceful settlement of our difficulties with Nfex
ice and made hostilities inevitable. So,. at least,
it is stated oil good authority. ,
It seems inconceivable to samOhow nay one's
patriotism can be Su peri, or to party considerations;.
and thus they cannot understand how those who
resist the measures of an Administration urging
on war. cau afterwards consistently sustain the
Country in the war. This is an enigma, insoluble
,by mere paitizan brains. _ '
Now to others, not the creatures of fiction, it
is apparent enough : .that one may condemn the
fatuity which brings on a war, yet once involved .
in strife, only urge a Vigorous prosecution of hos
tilities as the most effective mode of preicuring
pence. For what other purpose are we now
striking such -fearful blows , in 'Mexico!' Who is
pleased with this war on its own account ! Is
there any one who. professesso be delighted with
it and does not wish-to see it ended? Nay the
public anxiety to see it satisfactorily ended is ev
ery day growing . stroug . e.r and strongerSe,much
so that the Administration will not be sustained
in any exhorbitant dertiands which may drive,
Mexico to desperation, and defeat the hope of a
peace within a reasonable time. With all the
martial enthusiasm of our people they are not
blind to justice and reason, nor steeled a gainst _
the dictates of humanity—whatever may be the
reckonings of those who, calculate everything
for political effect.
As for Gen. Taylor he is now fightiiii in Mexi
co upon the same principles'which 'unmated the,
Whigs to unite in supportiog measures in Con-;
gress for the efficient prosecution of the war.
.obeys the Govermneut in whose service he is—
they obeyed the requisitieus of duty to their
Country to Whose honor and Welfare they erode:
voted. Yet both arc anxious to see the war" en
ded ; and both are in the habit of believing that
it might have been avoided,if wise and prudent
councils had prevailed. . .
But the idea of stealing all•the honors of. a war
which the Administration got up for its towil es;

" Upwards of 8,000 German emigrants have,

Where they wiil take their departure for America.
'['he greater part of them seemed to be rather

of emigrants that it resembled the camp of a: wan
dering tribe ; • theP threes were literally crammed.
with baggage'. and people waiting for the steam

emigrate this year. 'The desire to emigrate has
'extended to districts in ffermany: where it -was
'never before felt, awl amonTirst others to the rich
and fertile Saxon province of, Prussia.' The Nu

Inhabitants (Six hundred) of the village of Itlein

to America. ! ' \
The number' of Irish. who came 'from Ireland
into Liverpool during the month of March is 50:
000; above 3500 came over last Sunday. The
expense of maiiataining them is between £6OO
and £706 per week. Large 'sheds capable' of,
holding between 400 and . soo fever FratientiOave
been hired in Great Howard street, at it sent of

tery at all llama of the day, sometimes at 'Might,
in coffins sometimes' nailed and sometimes not
nailed, and if the gates happen to be closed they
are, left outside, or put . over the wall. Some of
the medical men, frightened by the numbecof pa

number hal recently been doubled, and 'an addi

5` . 224 in the house, end 625 in the hospital. The

that they ehould'be acquitted, hut that they should

.Situtru.'s Fensttst. Doc. 7 nistss—lt is one of
the:oliFFederal doctrines that the people arc not
to be trusted, because they are incapable of self
'governtnent. That Gov, Shunk holds to this no
one can deny, when they see such evidence of
conviction before them as his refusal to sign the
Bill passed almost unanimously by the late Leg-,
islature, for the election of Prosecuting Attorneys`
in the several counties of the Commenwealtit.--
Tile bill was passed some days before the adjourn
ment, and presented 'to the Governor; who, with
that contempt for the people which characterized.,
the British Aristocracy, when a redress Of pier--
, tutees was asked by the people of this province,
threw the bill under his table, and thus defeated
a measure of salutary Reform, and the wishes. of
thepeople.
Is it possible that Gov. Shunk, when be thus
passed judgment' against the capability of the peo
ple to choose their rulers, did not consider that
the people whom he refused the t privilege of elect.
ing their own:prosecuting AtOrnevs, were the
same voters who make Governors IDid ho think
them . fir to choose therr'Goveimar., if they were
• unfit to select their Prosecuting . Attorneys? Or
did he suppose that they considered tirn so much
better qualified to selectlhomolficers for them.
that they would prefer having it in his hands:—
The game conclusion has governed' Kings, Em

doctrine, and uphold the man who avows it. At

SINeuL►II ALTCLLN►TITC.—It was formerly a
law in Germany, that a feFbale, condemned to
Capital punishment, would be saved, if any man
would marry her. A young' girl at Vienna was
on . the point of being executed, when her youth ;
and beauty made a great kmpression upon the
heart of one of the'spectatore, who was a Neepo
titan, a middle aged man. but excessively ugly.-
- Struck with her ;charms, he determined, to have
her, and running immediately . to the 'place of exe
cution, declared his intention to marry the girl,
and demanded her pardon, Accaiding to the cus
tom ofthe country. The pardon was granted on-
Contlitionthat the girl was not averse to the match.
I The Neapolitan then gallantly told the female
that ho was a gentleman of some property, and
that he wished that he was a king. 'that ho might
offer her a stronger proof. of his attachment.—
! Alas! sir." replied the girl, "I am fully sensi-'
ble of your affection and generosity, but I am not
mistress of my. 'own heart. and I cannot belie` my
iserifinienis. Unfortunately, they control my fate
and I prefer the death with ' which I am threaten -1
'et], to marry such an-ugly fellovi as you are 1"
The Neapolitan retired in confusion, and the - woi
man directed the executioner to do his office.- I
