MititeßS' JOURINALs SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1851 sCIAUT LICILL NAVIGATION We feel satisfied_ that if the Schuylkill Navigation would strike out an independent course, and fix their toll on Coal at 45 cents per ton, without regard to the rates charged on the Railroad, that she would carry nearly, 'if not quite, half the trade from this Region the present year. This would unquestiona bly be the best poleyto pursue under exist ing circumstances, and, in a very short time a trade equal to her full capacity, would be built up at points, which the boats could reach without trans-shipment. Try it, and the current will set strongly in her favor in Schttylkill County, and her revenue will be • largely increased. WHAT RUM DOES! SCUVtil.iiiti CO. ALM HOUSE, XareA I I of, 1551 Mn.

East Brunswick, West Brunswick, West Penn, Port Clinton, Upper Mahantaugo, Lower do Wayne, Pinegrove Borough 8 Twp Tamaqua, Union, Blythe, South Manheim, North do Cm, St. Clair, Here are facts -that may well set every citizen of the county to thinking. They are plain but Stubborn—upgarnisheu but pow erful. Pottsville, we are sorry to see, holds a position more conspicuous than enviable. There are several striking conclusions in the above tables that have not escaped us, and which we will further explain for the enlightenment of our readers on, this subject. Of 154 paupers froin the county,_. admitted On account of Intemperance into the Alms House last year, 65 , were from Pottsville, or nearly one half the whole number. We I have: just 65 licensed drinking establish merits in the Borough, making an' average of one pauper -drunkard manufactured by each.establishment in the course of a year, or in 10 years 650, or in 30 years, the aver- I . age life-time of mankind, 1,950, or making a proportionate estimate for the result in the whole county, we have in 30 years, 4,000 DRUNRROS MANUFACTURED FOR THE POOR t •• noussi By SCHITI'LKILL COUNTY. No calcu lation has been made in this estimate fur 'those, wto have been thrown upon the county charities, from . sickness, insanity, poverty or impotency—which • causes may ..have hien superinduced, in a large propor lion of cases, by intemperate habits in . either the victims themslves or their parents. It will also be observed that; excepting 2 *cm Oiwigsbug,and 1 from North Manheim township, the agricultural districts have not contributed any paupeis to the expense of the county,. directly from Intemperance— all the rent are furnished by the mining - districts.. Prom the Rorough of Pottsville, the num ber 01 paupers furnished from Intemperance alone, is in the proportion of one for twenty three families—and allowing the expenses of each,for keeping:, to be $5O per annum (a low rate) the tax is equal to $3,250, a sum sufficient to pay the salaries of all the Teach ers now engaged in'our Public Schools. The Second Table exhibits bow many in mates now remain it the Institution, from those who *ere received during the last and previoui years:, Or 113 remaining, on account of pauperism induced by Intemper ance, 46 belong to Pottsville. This presents a' sad comment upon the morals of our Borough. it is high time that the friends 'of :the Temperance Reforin slibidd take a decided stana, and endeavour to curb this monster enemy to our common interests.* Let every good citizen set his face against whatever tends to encourage the sale or use of liquors, in any shape or form, as a beverage, and exert all his influ ence in ridding the community of a traffic so dangerous to iii morals, and which yearly imposes such an enormous tax upon its sober inhabitants.. O:7'C/orgy Hotels on the Sabbath.—The Grand Jury of Carbon County presented the Hotels for selling liquor on the Sabbath, and the Court ordered the Prosecuting Attorney, to notify ALL the Landlords in the county by written notice to clOse their bars on the Sab bath day. , - A large number - of Petitions were pre sented to our Judges, requesting the Court not to re-license any Hotel that kept open on Sunday. Will they comply with the wishes of the peOple7 I 11:7'3fr. Dobbins has published - a Card in ! reply to an . article, which appeared in the ( Journal two weeks ago. We gleaned our i LiformatiOn from a letter, from Harrisburg, r published in one of The Philadelphia Papers. i We agree with Mr. Dobbins, that it is use less for the Whig patty to attempt to secure justice, in any. party movement, where the Locofocos have the power to vote them down, but at the same time, we considered it our duty to show the public,why the pea t ple were thwarted in having the places for holding elections fixed at, convenient points, merely to gratify party feeling. As regards rthe power to add to Committees, the Rules of the House unquestionably give it—and as regards the assertion in the Card, that he, Mr. Dobbins, did not interfere to prevent i Mr. Struthers being added to the Committee !on elections, we are authorized to give - it a flat denial. • - - - - 0714'f publish the proceedings of the Locoloco e \ ?unty meeting - in our columns thisweek. We do,i; for-the Ileuefit of our readers, although, we believe, no Locoloco paper in Schuylkill county -has ever pub lished the proceedings of a Whig meeting. 'This however, IS . natural—the Locofoco leaders, dislike to have the bright and cheer full rays of democratic • %Vhigism, thrown in upon the dark and murky stream of Loec focoism. The resolution, next the last, in the pro ceedings;ls rather a singular'one—and we Presume that it is intended as a censure up on Messrs. Frailey and Dobbins, for voting in favor of resolutions for the Protection of American Industry in our Legislature. As for the cardinal principle of Locofoeoism, we have always understood it to be office, and the plunder belonging thereto. On this point they all agree. If they have any other leading principles we should be glad to have . them pointed out. ri"The North American and United States Ga:ette copies an article from a Boston paper, stating that capitalists, Who sold out Phila delphia and Reading stock at 37 and $3B per share, are repurchasing. We think this extremely doubtful. ,It is only a ruse to get up the stock to enable others to back out. It is now pretty certain that the charter for a new Road will be granted, and in that case it will be made, and canlhe rnad, and equip ped to carry one mi/lion tons of coal, and the other trade at less than fire million dollars.— Under such circumstances it is not likely that those who have sold out will re-buy again at even $3O per share. 1; rs •i 2 P'.11 .. ••• g E f, C C 3 -z ;.-.

LocofocOism is showing its cloven foot, to be sure. It appears that Mr. Reed actually had a Majority by the votes polled in several districts, independent of the fraud ulent names added to the list, while the re - turns Misrepresented the number and gave the result in favor of Kneass. 22. ti 1 EIE 1 '2 1 = If Pluto keeps a hotter fire in any one eor her of his kitchen than another—he will surely reserve it for the benefit of corrupt Judges. 1 1. 1 - - 154 52 62 18 286 Ci 7" The Hillotype;r—Ajlate number of the Daguerrean Journal, annyunces a remarka ble discovery, being nothing less than a pro cess for procuting colored—real nature color ed—daguerreotype pictures.

At least we recently heard an amusing case of Spirit tual revelation from them since their arrival. It segos/hat a pvrty of democrats and tree soilers called upon them to ascertain wheth er Sumner would be elected Senator. Hay ingeseated themselves with tong faces, around the table, a communication was immediately opened with the spirit of old AndrenrJackson. The answers were for some time extremely equivocal acid unsatisfactory--but the mo ment the question was put whether Sumner l would be elected, and whether the Spirit favored it, there was such a succession of rappings as almost to shake the building.— The solemn looking and anxious enquirers around the table, could hardly keep their places, and supposing, of course, that the spirit of old Hickory would be delighted with the idea of.electing a free soiler, they immediately called for the alphabet, and breathlessly waiting for the response, spelt out the following: "By the Eternal if you elect him, I'll soon be among- you againin:he Ash ."' This unexpected answer, together with another series of rumbling knockings m every direction, so frightened the visitors, that they rushed out of the house" in great confusion—as though old Hickory was, in truth, at their heels.

Colonel Philip Ruhl, of Buffalo Township, Union county, Pa., has become marvellously g i fted with the powers of 'speech, and h as, according to common re port, lately rhade several confidential com munications, in very fair English, to some of her particular friends. One of these is to the effect that the world will come to an end on the 16th day of June next. Probably she is herself destined to the hands of the butch er about that time. At all events this ora cular cow has created a sensation up in Union county. She is visited by numerous curious speculators. tr . Wrought Iron Cannon. —The 'New York Sun says a young gentleman of that city has discovered a process for the mann ture of wrought iron cannon : a hich bids fair to eclipse all previous inventions for add ing to the terrors of war. The process is very simple; is,beyond the chance of failure 'from over-heat or any other cause ; and its east is twenty-five per cent. less than the best and cheapest methods'for casting ; while the strength is far greater in proportion to weight than has heretofore been attained either-in wrought. or cast iron cannon. A Philadelphia correspondent of the Harrisburg Union says—" We have several mining companies in our city, that were started with a view of developing the min eral wealth of some of our eastern counties, Montgomery and Chester. It is ,said that lead andcopper are-found there abundantly: I have visitedone of these mines, and as far as I can judge, the enterprise bids fair to be profitable to those concerned, and Of advan tage to the State. Men of the highest char acter, and extensive means, are engaged in these mining operations." Ir7Gro g -Shops far IVomen.—A respecta ble New York paper asserts that there are certain secret places in that city, furnished in the most gorgeous style, and patronised almost exclusively by women of wealth and &silvan who go there first for ice creams `&c. , then for claret, champagne.

A . gentleman proposing to buy, inquired whether they were Whig or Democratic stock. " They are Demo crats," said the lad. " But I don't want Demociat puppies," said the buyer: " Oh," said the boy, " they will be Whigs, you know, as soon as they -get their eyes open." The Leggett's Gap Railroad Company has commenced laying its track from Scran ton with heavy T rail. Several miles have already been laid.

We advise our Operators to increase their.

On motion Daniel Koch, Thomas Po:ard, Joseph Edwards, Jno. Williams, Lewis Geasy, P. D. Fitzsimmons, and L. O'Buan,, were chosen a committee to draft Resorutions expressive of the senti- ents of the meeting, who after retiring a short time, reported the following, which were unanimously adopted ; WirEaEAs, The immense business of this Region requires additional means of trans porting our produce to market, and, Whereas it is the opinion of the meeting, that the rapid and steady increase in the production of coal is calculated, in a very short time hence (if not already now) to be fully ade quate to the maintenance and:proper support of another transportation - improvement, Therefore. 0 1 Resolved. That we are in favor of the ia corporation of the " People's Railroad" from 'Pottsville to Norristown, and request our Senators and Members of Assembly to use their best endeavors to have the said Road chartered as soon as possible. Resolved, That we do hereby. co-operate'', , with other portions of .this Coal Region. in any, and all fair means to procure justice to our interests, in reference to: having our transportation rates reduced. -.• ' Resolved, That the amount of revenue necessary to pay the interests, on the large amount of stock of the Reading Railroad and Schuylkill Navigation Company (now rising 827,000,000) together with the large amount of money, wasted yearly by their various schemes of waste and extravagance. when taken in the aggregate, is more than we , can pay, and more than we should in justice be asked k to pay. I Resolved, That-we have submitted to the 1 high handed and unjust practices of the Reading Railroad Company, until " for bearance is no longer a virtue." Resolved, •That our members of the Leg islature. aie hereby requested to carefully guard the interests of the public, in regird to the privileges that may be allowed tattle corporators of the People's Railroad, in such manner, as shall - be just to all parties con cerned. , . Row!red, that the practice of the Reading Railroad Company, in loaning large sums of I money to operators in this Region, 63 after wards taking, and working the_Collieries ot said operators, has a tendency to increase the evil of our productions, as the transporting Company has the advantage of all the com pany's nieans,nd enables them to monopo-' hze the trade, ligitimately belonging to indi• viduals. Resolved, That we are opposed to !Laving any more collieries opened, or worked, by corporations whether under the name and style of Improvement Companies, or Rail:. r'oad Companies. Resolved, That we' fully agree with the resolutions and proceedings of the meetings, field in Pottsville, 141inirsville: Tremont, ate., rand recommend meetings be held thipugh --1. ut the Begion.
