NEW IRON STORE.—We-invite attention to the advertisement of Messieurs Earl's ¢ Br nits, who have recently opened a very extensive Iron Store, in Phila delphia.. We are assured that few rimilxr establish ments in that city, •or elsewbete, stand higher in the public confidence, or offer hotter_ inducements to deal ers and manufacturers generally. • M. A. 400 T.—This well-known ..Daguerreoryper, Branding in the: front ranks of the professhin, has an advertisement In our coltimns this morning, Our citi zens, when' visiting Philadelphia, would be gratified With an eiamination of his Prirtrait Gallery. Many of the nortraite are . distinguishedliaracters, and in anis tical finish and accuracy, tire unequalled. NO NEWS !—The prest4t ",iveek has been rather more tirren.lifnf-wstliairmoSt cif its predecessors. We have nothing important from Mexico. Should any no table Intelligence. arriveby the time we go to press, it 'will be found under our Telegraphic head; on the third' page • The Gubernallbrial Canvass in this State; the Tar . if,- the War, and our Prospects. We never "knew 'a political contest to create as little sensatidn, • upon the people, as the.one now rapidly' approaching in this State. Every one is Calmi-dispassihnate and reasonable. 'No personal strifetino boisterous appeali=no' has slanders upon the respective candidates, to infuriate, and mislead the popular feeling. All is quiet as a summer morn. And s' far from this exercising an evil influence, it is the very thing most desired by the Whig'party„ tosecnrc the success of their measures. "Candid in the:avowal.of their princi plek, they , only ask the people to investigate them in their moments 4 . ..epolness,—in the absence of_prejudice and iarty excitemants. On this have they te:ied, and 'the result will ultimately prove' that they have not mistaken the character of the people,'nor themselves. The excitements which have marked the 'political contests of the age, must die away into a gentle calm. Like, the bil lows.which ruffle the ocean, after they have effec=t ted the wreck, they die away, and then the4un shines down, and lights up the scene. We hail the approiching election with pride— for if ever'a question, involving great political, 'principles, came plainly and' honestly before the people, i! is before them now; in the canvass for Governor: We look to the result with confi dence—becauke we see in it that calm erid deliber ate rebuke, which the Locofoco party haveearited, froth the people they hate deceived and betrayed: The question Li plain; and thy day has evidently gone by when sophistry could be substituted for tr'uth—When excitement would answer for a Polit- ical triumph. f . . It is useless to speculate upon the measures, — now directly before the people." Suffice it to say .. that the Tariff policy for which the Whigs have so long and arduously contended, is a leading feature of ihe present crisis.„The Locofocos are nog the open and undisguised advocates of Free Trade, and bitterly. hostile to the Tariff Policy for which they professed themselves so friendly in 1844, but which, in the face of their, professions, they did not .hesitate to destroy. And, no sooner had they formed (after - submitting them to the Brit • ish Parliament kir their approbation, which was Aidily given) • the present rates of revenue and adopted them' by the unanimous vote of the party, than they exultingly attributed the' extraordinary ad;ances in the prices of Breadstuff to its influ ences! Their presses strenuously insisted upon' this, and scoffed to ridicule all argumcnts_tending to exhibit its fallacy. But what, at last, is the re ault 1 So far from the present Tariff having any thing to do with the prices of Breadstuff, it is ex clusively and entirely calculated to diminish them.. And while it diminishes the rewards of thelfarmer, it still has a morn deleterious effect .upon manu factures, 'upon mining, and; all mechanical pur suits. To Show how perfectly inconsistent and groundless the assertions of the locofocos were in connection with the recent speculations in, Bread:. stuffs, vre.ii?eed only refer; to the present state of the markets. It vviN 6e recollected that, about ; - four weeks ago, we predicted • that flour would not be' worth $4 per barrel by the middle of August. What is the,,prospect ?—riven 'now it is not worth $6 in Philadelphia. and two months ago itcoUld• not be had at slp ! ' Now, will any honorable man pretend to argue tlat the Tariff, either directly or indirectlfties had anything4o do With the former or the lattirrates! If it had, it Must oilly be lamented that it cannot give a medium stabifikOo the markets and to freights 7 a basis-that ;soul drive off, speculation, and allow the producers to see clearly, where their • market-is to be, and what are to be theppriees I • kis useless to argue the subject at ;'length, as we confess we should like to do. The people are, we believe, folly prepared for the subject. The present war with".Mexieo, resulting from. a measure that, the Whigs strecruously opposed at the last Presidential election, te also fruitful'-of evils which it would be well for the people,occa , sion.lly to recall. This war, they will rearm. ber, is a lococico measure—they brought, it on— and the ll'higs are left to fight it out. Like urtornezttc,ir•anderingto strange and barren fields, amidst The denizens of tbtr new, and far away - ,:from their flock—they are promptly rallied oaths voice or their ahep/rFrd— tiut do not know their masters. - : But the war we are in. and fight it out we must and will. Bat we caution the people, as we hive often done before (not without cause) to beware of the future. Two I t or three hundred millions of dollars and thousands of valuable lives, will be the cost of this war, ere it is finally terminated 1 Remember - the responsibility—not of money, but of litman life and suffering ! Remember that if you and ten thousand more of your thinlang„bad not voted for all ibis blood this suf. I feritig—all Ibis wa i st. of treasure and of life, would hays been saved ! You that have. lost brothers, think of it ! You that with the pettricit ic feelings of American citiiens, hays sent your sons to fight the , battles of your. country—think, eh! Think of the responsibility of war — and ' ask" yourself, plainly, whether it is not beat always to avoid it, than once to urge It in_gio— riously and unrighteou - sly. • . - We will merely' add, that the Gubernatorial rcontest in October next, gives hindsome promise \ of a Whig _triumph. We have conversed with -several intelligent persona from different sections . .the State, and, everything is said to . be calm and yet determined. No doubt whatever is 'en tertained, by intelligent persons of all parties, of the triumphant success of Gen. Irvin. His ma jority cannot be' calculated upon with any cer tainty, of course, but-if we were to judgethe Statefi at -large from the feeling exhibited in . llolllg quer; ters (our own sOction inclusive) we should be eafe,kve think, in naming twenty thousand of a plu rality for Gen. This would be rebtike • enough—but it should be twice as severe. A Glance at the• Removal Question ThiS is not alone a question of expediency, or of mere partial or individual interest. It is a great question of Justice and Right, not to any dais of the community, ,particularly, nor to !octal ties,—hut of equal and exact justice to the whole people of the county. Justice lies in certain prin ciples, which must change with circumstances. A law, based' upon circumstances fifty years ago, would have been salutary then —but abomi- Mablenow. Things change,and with them circum.; stances—and in exact proporayo s n as they change. , must law be made to govern them., Law is made to control circumstances. \- . . • , Now, let us took at the question. • . .When the Countyof Schuylkill was erected in . 1811, and the seat of Justice established at Or- . wigsburg, its mountains and hats. were unexplor ed—and their resources, unknown. Its vaileyi 'and hills were untenanted by man: he wr;;l 7 alike estranger, to the soil And the denizens WhiCh in habited it. All.was wild and lonely.' _,::, "The sound oC the Church-going bell; These valleys and rocks ne'er heard; l'ie'er slatted at the sound.pf a knell,. Or smiled when n'Sabbath clnpeared." But mark the change ! The hills reveal •the treasures which they had nursed from antedelu- Vian ages. For the first time . the clanking of keen-edged implements 13 heard—their sides are pierced, and soon the bold explorer sends ,forth, from his subterranous workshop, the rich fruits, of hiS labor! The horn of the boatman surfirizes the wolves of the hills,. and the little streams which before could-ortly supply fish for the angle Of the red man, norl3 swollen to a mightier growth. and carry off uporitheir surface the trea sures which time had plante in their native mountains! Soon the shrill whistle f the loco motive, like the voice of a rnysteriousge = valleys of Solitude, winds itself, like a monstrous reptile, around the hills, breathing fire with iron lungs! A few years suffice to change the whole aspect. And now : We have a dense, population among those very hills—in them, arid out of them, and • all,aroun4 . l them ! Hundreds and thousands—all classes— from all climes! Large towns and villages— Workshops, rail roads, canals, waggon roads—eve rything indicating the presence of a great, and busy, l and thriving people! Now, is here'not a great—a wonderful—an un precedented change? Is it•to be said, hoWever, that circumstances shall not change also? Is it 'to be said, that with all the wealth—with all the business—with all the labor' and employment— the people are I to have no conveniences 1 Is it to be said.that the thousands of people he're are to yield their right to the hundreds there? t lf so— ' • IL A N The law which submits the question of removal to the people,!declares that the public buildings are not to be erected at the expense of the county. If' then, the County seat be removed from'Orwig,s burg to this 'place, our citizens are compelled to erect suitable buildings for the Courts and County offices. Thisl they are prepared to do, and even 'now are willing to enter into bonds for thefaithful Pert - a:Mance of the requirements of the law.. Tha people right declare -themselves in favor of remo val, but, until the citizens of this place erected the public buildings, the law would be null and void. it could not go lint° effect. ' _ • The hue and cry, then—which has been raised by the opposers of the measure—of T4es,..is shallow, ill conceived and desperate. .So far from inflicting additional taxes upon the county, it is entitely'calculted '.o diminish them. Nearly all the' business Coming , from the Coal Region—. where, in fact .1 business, in the legitimate sense, alone exists.--throws an annual burthen of some Ihowl:riots of dollars upon the people of the coun ty, in th4'hape of milage for witnesses, jurors, &c. &c. One case alone, l cMning from this quar ter, which we • • just snow tre:ollect—(the of Riggs,) must have cost the county $3OO for mil age; &c. Nerly all of which would have been saved if the Seat of Justice had - been at this place. The geographial situation of Pottsville is very nearly'in the centre of the County. It is the lar jest..town in the county, and all the others, large or small, a're hearer to it than to Orwigsburg.— 'ln fact, three4urths of the entire business popb lation of the county, is immediately in and: about this place. - ' . But, the desperate movers in this, cry of taxes, care little withwlt - at degree of tnith or consieten• cy they may be heard so - that the people are disposed to accredit them. For years past they have avoided l i no effort to .prejudice the people , whose . interests are indentical with our- own, against 'the citizens of this place. They, have represented us' as a haughty and extrava gent people-,having no other object in view -than the growth of our .own borough,! . They; spare. no opportunity to array the German population igainst.s, and excite them with a holy horror for anything that savors of 'Pottsville. They rep resent our torts as full of pick-pocketa, blacklegs land cut-thniatS—that the borough, itself ( is a poor affair—that itlis comple.ely hollow underneath, end is, In fact,!dangerows to be caught,in it - Such ore the means resorted to, to divert the at tention of the \fteople from the true issue before them, and to instill into their minds a bitter preju r dice, as disgraceful as it is foolish. • A moment's reflection would teak; dispel the whole delusion. As for extravagance :• if the course of the repre *sentatives of the people oithis place, in the board of County Commissioners, will indicate extrava. gance; we may, indeed . , bear the charge. Since that ifmtleman's election, however, the county debt 'has been *paid off within five or six thou sand dollars ; imkrtant public bridges have been erected ace heavy expense, and the taxes lowered from five to three mills on the dollar ! Does this look like extraanee?" If it is, we must say that it is the very kind of extravagance the peo- ple of Pot!sville admire I• • , • LIFE INSURANcE.-7—Wesee a letter in the. Norfolk, ye. papers, from Tazewell Taylor, Esq., woo; *s Executor of the estate' of the late Rev. Upton Beall, acknowledges the receipt of six (hot:land dollars, dire upon the Policy of Insur4 ance, held by the deceased upon his life. • This is one of the many like benefits of Life Insurance, and the manrcompanies now in operation shoWs conclusively that the people are becoming sensible of the great objects which the policy is calculated to achieve. Persons desiring information on Life Assurance can obtain it, and effect Insurances, per. petnal or limited, on application at this office. IMPORTANT withheld Correspondence, re lutiiig to the causes that 'led to the War.—The Whigs, throughout this Mexican War, have con tended that it Might have been honotably avoided. They - have never believed that our relations with Mexicro were as . critical as they were with Eng land on the Ore g on , question. It has been charg ed upon the Administration, that it made the war for political purposes, under the impression that a single battle would awe the Mexicans into sub mission, procure an,immense acquisition of teal torY;ind that hostilities would last a few weeks, them be ende.l in a blaze of glory. Matters have turned out differently, and the Administration thitt would not consult Congress about beginning the war; has evidently got to do it, about. ending it. ' k The people, sober-minded and patriotic. are beginning to enquire Into particulars, and-show a disposition, now that the novelty,of waz_hasi)as red away, to learn who is- responsible fur its Coinmencement, and also it is found that &was urineeessary, to punish the triflers with the Con-, ttutitm.

To come at the lads, we propose the fol lowingquOes to Mr. Buchanan, which we wish he would answer affirmatively or negatively,— The. Union should attend to our questions, as there is not more behind ,them, than, the Union On know, if it will examine all the-papers of the Secrstary of State, relative to our relations with Mexico, received at Washington just before the battles of the Bth and 9th of May, 1846.. Serious Questions for Mr. Buchanan- to answer. lot. Were you not, as well as Mr. Polkp i n formed by letters that if Gen. Taylor moved his ;forces, and took a , pesition opposite Matamoros, that a collision woull take place, and were not those letters from such a source, as you could not and did not (as subsequent events prove) discred it 1 them ? Have you not these letters on file among the private papers of the Department of State? and did you not refuse last winter to give copies of them? 12. Were you.not shown the correspondence of, Gen. Arista with a gentleman of high stand ing in the United States, one who had , filled an important diplomatic office in Mexico, in which Gen. Aiista stated that the Government of the United States could get by treaty or purchase to the line of the Rio Grande? ; ad. Were you trot shown a note of General Arista's in which he stated that if the Govern thent of the United States acquired title by pur chase or treaty to the Ri o Grande. that the prowin ces of Tamaulipas. St. Leon, and Zicaticas, would unite themselves with Texas, and come _-into she confederacy of the United States? Is not the:detter alluded to above on'file, in your depart 4th. % ere you not informed-by- an express direct from t camp ofGen. Arista, that the Gov ernment of Mexico would receive a Commission er to settle the houlidary question. but would not receive a Minister, and as not Mr. Slidell sent Off on his useless erran Fier you received the express from Arista's camp? lave you not got the letter sent by that express in .o . ur possession, and others, subsequently written by th same band from New Orleans? 1 sth. Did you not have several private 'nter views in Washington, with the gentleman while sent the express from Arista's camp, in which you thtthked him in behalf of the United States, lorrthe services he had_rendered the government, .end did you not, as well as Mr. Polk', entirely ap-' 'prove of his views? and did you not endeavor to detain . him in Washington.. to avail yourself of his,presence and information? 6th. Did you not, at a Cabinet Council, lay !before the members the. whole correspondences, and did you not concur with Hon. R.J. Walker, land other members (lion. John Y. Mason dis senting) that the time fur aggressive measures on the part of the United :States had arrived; and . did not the Hon. R. J. Walker, at that meeting propose a plan to subjugate Mexico with a stand ing army rif 5000 men ? 7ah. Have you not been urged by men iii and ! out of power, to produce the. letters alluded .to jabove; to-relieve you of the charge of acting with ;duplicity towards Mr. Polk, and of pretending ignorance of the faces contained in the correspen -Idence we - have called Gar. MIZE MINERSVILLE AFFAIRS From our Regular Coriespon4ent Tite SvnEFrs.—lt is gratifying to ,observe, at least Itte manifestation of a diSposiitinn to improve the condt 7 . of the 'Streets. During the last week, workmen Ih been employed in reducing imegualltie ‘ s—taking wn hills, filling up hollows, 'raising the centre of the via& &c. I hope the neat step will be• to grnde and ii pave the side-walks : improvement is greatly needed. • to AND lloos.—No .attention has been given yet to expelling, the Dogs and Dogs from our streets. It is time something was dune to remedy this superlative nuisance. This morning, walking the distance of obe y square in Sulbuty street, the principal street in the borough, 1 counted fo l urteen hogs, and twenty-two dogs, and five cows, complacently amusing thernselveil in the gutters, and warching:dhout the doors of stores, bribe opportunity to pillage.sbmething to eat. If pe&. 'Pie will keep hogs they stthuld fatten them at home, And as for dogs, they are not only useless, but at Milli season of the yeardangerous, from their liability tei by drnpliobia, and should therefore positively be kepi chained up, or; if suffered to run. at large, at least be muzzled, otherwise the borough authorities should dispose of them. It is time three nuisances were aba ted in Minersville, which being no longer a small town,• but a nourishing; growing business borough; with Burgess, Council, Borough Officers—and borough. taxes; should at leant present a cleanly appearance, and beak, the marks of a judiciously exercised borough anthill rity. • Tnn NEW EPISCOPAL Citurictt.—The friends of ligion and the chuich, will be rejoiced to learn that the pews in the Episcopal Chuich. opened here for divino service some two or three:Weeks entice, are all already Tented, or nearly all, I bell"dye there are a, few, perhaps halfa dozen , yet undisposeirof, but aeveral application 4 for pews have been made to the pastor, and it is proba ble that the whole number will, very shortly, be taken This hi most gratifying. REMOVAL OF Tll6 SEAS OF Jti.ITICE.-1 see, by 'call is the Democratic Press, that a County Removal Meeting will be held at Pottsvilte, on the 7th of August', ',ensuing- You may expect a large attendance from Mil. nersville and the places adjacent, upcn.that occasion. 4' Aa far as I can learn, from conversing with the people bere,they are thoroughly convinced of the necessity of removal of the Seat oflustice,and realizing the advani cages that must result from it to them, and to a great. ;majority-in the county, are determined to urge the matt ter to its coasuinmation by every, proper effort in their power. . . . THE MINERS' JOURNAL LOCAL E M A MURDEROUS AFFRAY.—On Tuesday, last, a fatal affray occurred near Weaver's mines, about four miles from this place. It appears that a Welshman, named David Edwards.had entertained suspicions of his wife's and while in a.re 7 factory, near his house, had been repremaniling 'her for alleged improprieties. ; An Irislilan, named Bernard Flynn, was standing by, and at once en deavored to defend the character of the woman. Thi's exasperated Edwards very much; and he sei zed the 'lrishman-1663w him upon the floor, and, drawing 'a dirle-knife, stabbed trine m the breast,' inflicting a wound about four, inches in depth, and an inch or more in width. Edwards was immediately arrested and taken before U. W. Taylor, Ealquire, for examination. He He expressed much penitence of his conduct,'and wept freely. His character had, pieviously, been good, and he was known as a sober and industri l ; cions. He was committed to prison to answer the charge at. the next term of the Court of Quarter Sessions..: Flynn'died of his wounds on Wednesday mein . ing lase', aged abort% thirty- years. !NEW CEMETERY.—The beautiful knoll or point of ground located at the head of Market street, at the intersection of the Minersville road, has been secured as a Cemetery to be connected With the Episcopal Church. 'Three orfour acres belonging to the Carey estate have been g enerously tendered to tho Vestry, and 'arrangements have been made to enclose that portion of the knoll be longing to theigessrs. 'Woods of Philadelphia, thus securing the whole portion of the- bill for said purpose. The situation is well adapted for the purpose. It con manila a fine view' of the town, has a gradual rise from all sides to an eleva t lion in the centre, and is surrounded by the it'll& tes scenery, which gives the aspect all the charms Of quiet and seclusion. • .It will be enclosed shortly, 'end laid out into • burial lots. It is the intention of the Vestry to erect a small chapel at the Cemetery, as Soon es :circumstances will permit. • LADIES FAIR.--The'Ladies of the Episco pal Congregation have ,resolved to furnish their new Church with an , Organ. For this purpose they intend holding a Fair i fOr the sale of useful . _ and fancy articles, mostly theiioSitn handi•work,at' the American Hotel, nn the 13th and 14th tof August. The geritlemen will then have an op portunity of patronizing - the Churti,a:nd laying ink a stock of fintry beside ?f course, a rush may be expected. Mr. Reinhard, we undeistand, voluntarily ten dered the use of his house to the ladies on '-thie occasion. For this polite hospitality, the gallant Captain not only tomes in fur a rich'reward from the ladies, in the shape of thanks, lant,'we . take it; the: ladies' friends are placed under peculiar obli gations, which gallantry alone will compel tbem , to a ppreciate - -- - REAL ESTATE IN OUR OOROUGH.— . Perhaps one of the most substantial evidences of the prosperity now existing in our borough, is to be found in the value of hotel properties, and the business which they are discharging.' Strangers visiting our borough, would, no doubt, suppose it to be, surfeited with inns 7 but the truth is, the ran mbet is scarcely equal to the amount of business thrown upon them. They are daily receiying and discharging an unprecedented numbe .. .. of tray ellers,and each house has as many regular boarders as canAe comfortably accommodated. The increase of business may be seen in the increased value of ,property over the last year: thus, the Pottavillo House, which lost year sold for ssoop, a few days ago sold for sl2,ooo—an increase, in less than one year, of $4,000. The Ametican House, ' whiCh was last year offered for sale 'at $lO or $ll,OOO, sold two or three days ago, foil $13,000 —an increase of two or three thousand dollars Within a few months. • A NOBLE EXAMPLE.—The.people living at Tuscarora, in this county have, hitherto, been without a church edifice in their village, and.were, a. 41 consequence, subjected to muth inconveni-, oncer tto,i i, r:eltkious devotions. Wm. Steven son, Esq., , reasu i rer of the city of Philadelphia, who has an ititeTest in a tract of land at that place, recently' reited 'Uwn his own ground, a spacious and handsome chirrefOrta cost of some four thou. sand dollars.' It is to be2aedic:atei.l in the faith of the Protestant Episcofmil^Church, and was erected at his own pleasure and expense, ` ,lt together. We may add, that though the lands arelmr s lnsically valuable, they 'have 'thus far been a eource‘of no revenue to Mr. S. This free and unsoiicitedli.. erality-is, therefore, lit striking contrast with Other landholders, in Philadelphia anti efse'Where,lWho derive annually-from five to twenty thousand dol- Jere fro:n the resources of our county. We•thinit that such persons, at least, could afford to emulate example., WAR , TROPHIES.—Twei Mexicait muskets, which were brought here fr l om Mexido by Lieut. Kaercher, may be seen at the Exehange Hotel.— They are of English manufacture, and to all ap pearandes are over a hundred years old. One is three feet six inches in•length., the:other fouiqeet six inches. The muskets of our soldiers are much longer, and this is one realon,,we presume; why the Mexicans were linable to employ the bayonet successfully in resisting our triumphant assaults. COUNTY MEETING.-A general County Meeting of the friends of Removal, will be held at Fox' & Mortimer's Hotel, on the 7th of AugUst next. Let the people turn out.en masse, and " give a long pull—a strong pull—and a.pull all together." , r • ' Mr We learn from the Danville Intelligencer, that Messrs. Haywood & Snider, of this place, have taken iround,contractpd for stone, and made the arrangernents - for the immediate erection of an, Anthracite Furnace near that Borough. It is to be completed abdut the first of January next. ; Ty A breaksman of a coal train on the Reading, Rail Road, of thi3 name of Patrick ,Hurly, had one of his legs 80 arms broken on Tuesday last, near Port Richmond. He was brought homp to his family in this place, and it is hoped will soon recover from his injuries. Mb Owen Drum!, an Irishman, employed in the Colliery of George H. Potts, was struck on the forehead on Tuesday_last, by a piece of coat falling from above, and which killed bins instanta neously. He leaves • isifa and five children' to lament his untimely death. rr sir—This is to inform you ►fiat the weo:-. ther during the greeter portion of itle 'present week, was.cold —yes, downright cold 3 Yours, respect fully: al' One fifth of the population of the city of New lurk are paupers, supported. , in whole or art by charity. , STRUCK BY LIGIITNING.—We learn that'iaeob B. Gerber, Esq; publisher of the Lan.' caster County Farmer, Wasitruck by lightning a few daysainas, at his itural.Retreal Faim, in, West Hempfield. He had been engaged in his Green House st the time of receiving the electric fluid, and exhibited,noiymptams of life for some time after. We are pleased to learn, however, that be is recovering. PATENT WIRE ROPES.—These ropes, the patent of which consists in the introduction of a • hempen centre, saturated with oil tar, Arc, which prevents their corroding inside, are being introduced almost exclusively in the mining dis tricts in England, where they have the preference over either chiins or hempen ropes. For shafts' they arrkpeculiarly desirable, and on plains so far have given general satistaction: - They are used on the plains of the Delaware and Hudson Com pany. arid also at the Virginia mines. They are light,; very elastic, and do not • cost more than 'it good hempen rope, while the will out last two or three ropes of that material. Any fur ther particulars with regard to these ropes can be obtained of B. Hannan, who is Agentfor the sale of these ropes in Schuylkill County. STEPHEN DAY.E.—A meeting of tl 'tin. tern was held in Boston on Monday; to hear the report of a committee appointed at a previous meeting. They. reported •in substance that a monument ought to be erected to Stephen "(aye at Mount Auburn, to commemorate the establish fnent of the first , press in the United Statist; that to effect this an 'association should be formed of practicaf printers ; that as soon es twenty-five names were,obtainedlhe asaociationshOuld . be or ganized.

' RAILWAY COMPASS.—We find in an EngliA paper.an account of an invention called an Itenerarium or Railway Compass. It will, at all times, show the speed of the engine, the dis tance to the next station, end the position of the train on the line. A chronometer connected with •it, shows the railway time. It will note the time occupied at each station, and the speed of each frille. on a paper, which can be taken off and filed. One index on thy dial points to the place which corresponds,to he one on the railway ; another indicates the sp ed; a third revolves once in 10,000 miles, showing what distance the engine has travelled. This instrument is moved by a separate wheel running un the rail, is not affected by breaks. and being illuminated at night is easi ly seen by the. engineer. The experiment has .been successfully tried, fully. realizing the antici• pations of the inventor. THE HEROINE OF BUENA VISTA.— This rema'ekable female arrived this morning on the Ben Franklin, in company of a number of the 2d regiment Illinois volunteers. ' Her - history, as 'we obtained it from an intelligent volunteer, is, brief. She bad emigrated from Germany but a 'short time previous to the arrival of the Il linois Qolunteers at Galveston, on their way to the seat of war, and she there joined-Capt. Miller's com pany, and remained with - them until their dis 'charge. She procured a living by washing for the volunteers. 'At Buena Vista she went where bullets fell thickest, carrying coffee and provisions to the worn-out soldiers, who seem very grateful for the many kind offices which she then per formed. for them. She is known only by the name of Mary, or Dutch Mary, as the volunteers familiarly call her. These Marys are some, and no mistake. Wo did riot learn her destination, nor has she as yet determined where she will make her home.--Sl. Louis Union, July 17. COL.
