C., July IS., 1819 Before settingout, under full sail, in this epis tle, I ought to have an "understanding"--a sort of handsshaking—with the reader: inasmuch as A considerable period bag elapsed. EILICO I last had the pleasure of his or her audience through the columns 'of this paper. Although now stand ing to the Journal in the relation of a 'mere our. sider, I still hope to be recognized as an old friend, 'who, alb it having little claim to the affectionate reprint once' of the public, nevertheless cherishes the war. i est sentiments of regard for that portion with whim it has„ hitherto been his fortune to 'Cotemuilicate. "Absence cannot conquer love." No! My heart is among the mountains, the bold precipices, the sharp ,peaks and crags of Schuylkill; and the grateful .remembrance of many friends associated with its wild and pictur csque scenery, is' excelled, perhaps, only by the flame of its :native anthracite ! j My sympathies, too, always were With her honest Toilers, and from the peculiar circumstances which, for a year or more past, hare surrounded the eaterprizing eitizeni of the Coal Regions, I have felt nothing but the sincerest grief at their accumulated mis fortunes. It is,an old saying; and a true one, that "troubles never eomesingle• handed"— but in battallions and regiments, arced for tho most po_ tent resistance. It is clear, as has been exhibited time after time, that the present Tariff is exceed ingly' hostile to the prosperity of-the Coal Inter. eats of Pennsylvania; and, by referring back to the time it went into operation, the whole aeries .of evils that have. fastened upon the trade, end other branches of business associated with it, can be clearly identified as flowing out spontaneously from the practical workings of that law. And as the people of the Coal districts confided in Gen. Taylor, and appealed, with much marked unani mity, to his election, foe redress ; I am happy to state my conviction that they.aro not going to be disappointed. General Taylor (let me whisper in the the ears of the Coal-beepsttered workers of ' Schuilkill,) is a decided Tariff man; arid being one of the plainest, most unpretending and hon est citizens of the Republic, he loves, with his whole soul, to eco the laborer get a proper reward for his toil.' , lie takes a groat interest in Agricultural affairs, as they aro pursued in the North, and it 16 his in tention, the coming Autumtycs travel through the great Forming end Manufacturing districts of the frco States, that ha may thoroughly understand the people,' and their respective wants, and tio enabled thereby to recommend to Congress, when it assembles in Decein'ser next. „, the adoption of such wholesome measures as will give pro speak) , • and permanency to all the great djterests of the ;g Country. His object is to Collect information— , practical data ; and be will avoid all formality and parade, in . his intercourse with. the people, whenever it can be done with propriety, and with out giving offence. Ho will act out from here, ;L: 1 1 0tituorc to York thence to Harrisburg via • 11,,anc,aster; thence to Pittsburg via Chamberskag, ;Milford Sprikia,Au. He will leave Pittsburg ,for. Cleveland, Ohio, and thence embark via Suf i' ,falo for Syracuse, where the great Annual Pair and ,Cattle Show of the New Yoth State Agricultural .riety, will be held, on the 10th of September After visiting Albany, he will go over to New Hampshire and Maine, and pay hie respects to the Factory 'girls of Massachusetts. He will then returnAo New York via Providence, Rhode Island, and paw through Philadelphia, en route, for Washington. Thus, it will he seen, that the General cookies his projected visit to the people of those States interested in a sound Tariff sys tem, and, had he never expressed any sentiment of the subject, the fact that ho is desirous of pay ing hie respects to them, personally, shows that, unlike some other Presidents we have recently had, his attention is trot taken op.! entirely, with the "peculiar iostitutioni of the Soutfi." The General eonaidorathe great Coal Regions tispecislly the Anthracite beds,) as being decid edly the most interesting and valuable portion 'of Pennsylvania ; anti ha will go to Pottsville if he cen.so arrange 'the traTelling-roote.as not to loose. too much time.

It is probable. however, that he will not bo able m visit any place which is not directly on his proposed route, and which is not acCemible by Railway or Steamboat Na viga. don. He is ice the daily receipt of bushels of tellers, from the everlasting Browns, Smiths and Thompsons of this great land, inviting him to visit their respective -localities. Half a dozen "Private Secretaries" could not answer these po. lite epistles,—(for which Uncle Sam pajs post— age) and if ho mold accept a moiety of them; be would be dionered, and .drank, and toasted, and bored to death, in less than "no limp." But Zachary Taylor, Esquire, is not to be •headed eft" in any manner whatever. Tho Locofodos are lieginini to Sod ti out, and the mustacheid and grim-visaged Mexicans learned the utter imi.ossibility of accomphshing it, to their lasting sorrow. Now thatoki Whitey has actual ly arrived hare, Father Ritchie may continuo the damn/mud, if be pleases, may cry out "havoc. and let lois° the dogs of war!" • • I will say a few words concerning old Whitey. He is a most remarkable animal. His eyes, his clean limbs, sinews and.metselcs—hii gentleness, 'are unequalled. He is now over seventeen years old, and has borne his kind and considerate mak lei: through many a bloody struggle and fatiguing journey-rcoming out little the worse for sundry wounds„ which he carries with him as very hon— orable mementos of his past bravery and fidelity. He is the greatest "hose,” without doubt, that ever "stood up to the rack- (fodder or no fodder)" in the Presidential Stables. When Whitey had approached within about eighty miles of this city, consigned to the care of Col. Capron, a farmer residing romewherealong the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, Gen. Taylor set out, cautiously, one afteraoon, by the cart, to sea him, and to make arrangements for his safe Jiival hither. This little business was performed in a few hours, and the General returned early i the next morning!— The President of the United States of America bestowed this courtesy on a faithful old dumb brute, who had served himlaithfully in •the ird minent deadly breach," and I am of opinion that the person who could do it must have a heart as big as a haystack! Whitey knows tho Geniis!' "liko a breeze."— Last Sabbath, (I heard it stated) as he was going to Church, Whitey espied him, and cocicd up his ears, and pawed, and made such other evidences of recognition, that the General walked op to him, and told him to keep quiet, and behave himself like a Christian. 'this injunction was .religious. ly" observed. TheM is, indeed, something beautiful in the spirit which dispenses kindness to the domestic animals. There is no selfishness mingled in such attachments—there is no deception—no vanity.— Those pereoris who have owned faithful horses or L iogs, and have been acetisteled to . view them as Constituting .a portion of the homestead ittelf, need not bo assured of the strength of . the attach ment lam dwelling upon. Even "The poor Indian, whose untiatoi'd mind Sees God in clodda, or hears him in the wind,— Whose soul proud Science never taught to stray Far as the Solar walk or Milky way,— ♦ • • • Yet thiriks,adtuitted to thqt equal ekt, Ills faithful dug will'bear !din mow:ley." Not a century ago, I was accustomed to horses, and 'live stock" generally—good, bad, and indif.. forest,—sod I experienced on many occasions-the full force of the affection which endears a faithful brute to the human heart. You may talk of the love of brothers end sisters—of sweethearts and wires—but, dang it!—there is no mistake about a dog! When other friends desert you, he is true and steadfast! . When other friends desert you, he is Mar ! 110 will rrjoica with yoa— fight for you—die for you! I can thcreforo appreciato—perhaps, better ap• preciata than many others,—the extraordinary at,. tachment of Gen. Taylor for his faithful chMger. Yet, it was transcendently noble in him, when ap prised of the near approach of the herse,—SUl rounded, hoe he wee, by ell the • splendors and glaring magnificence of the Presidental mansion, and the dignities of his high office,—it was noble in him' to quietly step over to the ears, to go off after, Whitey !—lo lay his hand familiarly on -his mane !—to pat him kindly on the neck !—and silently indulge his great love for the war-horse of Buena Vista. I say it was noble—don't you! PAOLI. General News THE LOOUSTS AT THE-177E9T A letter from Mercer, ?s., says :—Our neigh borhood .and the surrounding country is now swarming with locusts.

From present appearances, I shall net have a live tree left'. My neighbors are complaining of the same mischief. NOVEL CORE mit CHOLERA. There are so many certain cures for cholera, that some wit has been provoked to say, that the wonder is, that any body dies of it. In a Paris paper is an account of a cure, unlike any we have seen. A man's wife was attacked in the morning, while he was absent. The neighbors called iu a Doiter, who furnished the usual prescriptions. She nevertheless, continued to sink till toward night, when the husband returned very much in toxicated. He forthwith threw all the phials out doors, kicked his neighbors out after them, and began to beat his wife Unmercifully... The beating effected what the medicine could not—it produced a re-aciion—and the woman got' well immediately. This is the only good effect at drunkenners we recollect to have seen chronicled.
