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.

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.

L''Disina Attorney Case.—The contest
ed election case is Cal progressing.in Phila
delphia. 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.

The Lowell [ Mass) Courier thus imps the
recent Coalition faction 4x - that State over the
knuckles:
ME
A branch of the Mysterious knocking Fam
ily have recently arrived in this city, and we
believe, occasionally gives lessons. 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.

According to_the most authentic advices.
the total quantity ortea, coffee and cocoa
consumed the year "ending sth January,
1830, amounted to 60,000,000 pounds. In
1850 it amounted t 087,000,000 tionnds, be
ing an increase of 27;000,00g pounds. The
total quantity of spirits, viinnand beer con
sumed in 1836, was 628,00%000 • gallons.
In 1850 it was 583,()00,000 gallcins, being an
decrease of- 40,000,000 gallons.\ Had thfe
population of 1840-50 drank of coffee, tea
and cocoas .the same quantity per head aij
the popubition of 1835.6, the increase in
the consumption of these articles would
have bee( only ten millions of pounds;
whereas it' has been nearly twenty-sever
millions oil pounds, or considerably mores
'than one-third': and had the population of
1849-'5O -drank of spirits, wine, and beer,
the same ' quantity per bead as the' popula

tion of these articles would have been one

the increase of population into account, to
be u pwa rdit of one hundred and forty millions

ICo(onization in Virginia.—The Pres

priating $30,000 for five years to colonize
the free blacks of the State in Liberia. The
congregation of the Synod were recommen
ded to take up collections in aid of this pur
pose.. The - Synod also approved of the

?News items.
• rnhanging Nsunes.—A bill has been
introduced into our State Legislature, eat ,
powering the Court of Common Pleas of
any county of the State, to make a decree
changing . I the name of any person resident
in any county,at any time three months after
being petitioned to 'do the same by such per
son ; provided, that notice of the application,
'as well as the decree after\the same, shall
be publii,hed in one or more newspapers, to,
be designated by the Court. It provides,
further, that any person whose name is thus
changed shall pay, before the entering of
the decree, to the Prothonotary of said Court.
ten dollars, of which two dollars shall be
-retained. by the Prothonotary, and the re
mainder shall .qo to the use of the State as
a tax upon the decree.
Prophetic Cow.—A milch cow, be
longing to. 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. Brandy, mint
juleps, sherry cobblers, and brandy, slings.
" This is no fancy sketch : there are at this
moment worts of women of the first in so
ciety • who have become inveterate tipplers
at these places."
9c7Pays well. —ln the California
Legisla
ture the per diem of the officers at the Assem
bly was finally fixed as follows : Chief Clerk
$24 ; 3 Assistant Clerks $22 each : Sergeant
at-Areas $:.); Door-keeper 816: Messenger

The per diem df the Secretary of the
Senate was fixed at $2B, and that of his as
sistant at $25.
Among the bills before the Legislature, we
notice one to provide for the punishment of
death in all cases (.1 grand larceny.
Novel Theatre.—JOthe'atre on a new
plan is building in the Faubourg de Temple
at Paris. The place of the orchestra is
above the stage, and the sounding board is
tuned like the instruments. The entire l stage
turns on its axis,l so that all the persons be
fore the audience. can he whisked out of
sight in a twinkling. • The, house is lighted
by a sun in the roof ;.when night is repre
sented, this is covered up, and stars come
out in stead.
o:7•More Truth than Poetry.—A lad in
New Orleans the other day, had for sale a
basket. of puppies. 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. The -Company has also
commenced mining 'coal, preparatory to stock
ing the road, which will be finished in a
few months, forming a connection with the
New York and Erie Railroad at Great Bend.
o:7•Tregties Rated.—The U. S. Senate
in Executive session on Friday of last week,
ratified three treaties, viz : The treaty of Por
tugal : the treaty with Switzerland, and the
Tehuantepec treaty with Mexico. The EX
tradition treaty with Mexico was rejected.

writes the money articles for the Philadelphia
Ledger, was, in yesterday's paper trying to
create the impression that Reading stock
declined in consequence of a rumor, that the
tolls, &c. were to be reduced. This is
,all
nousense-Ldirectly: the reverse would be the
effect.—Stock-jobbers generally "Write for an
object, and none but a stock jobber who cares
hut little about the means used,So long as he
can put money in his pocket, could have
written such a thmsy article. The whole cry
is revenue, revenue, but how are they to ob

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.

PROSPERITY OF BRITAIN.
An" English correspondent 'of the New
York Commercial Advertiser, writes, under
date of Jan. 28th.
Business, generally, all over the KingdOrn,
never was so steady and -flourishing as at.
present. Every man wanting work van
find it. Pauperism is diminishing rapidly:
In the- London Union on Christmas. day,
1850, there were thirty thousand less ; insioor
poor than on Christmas day, 1849 ;Aid in
the manufacturing districts there has been a
scarcely less wonderful diminntion-;-a change
that has been gradually brought about by
the absence of political agitation and the
working of our free trade system. ' There'
hal been no rapid increase of wagies or any
thing else indicative of a feverish, specula
five excitement. The improvement seems.
r likely to be permanent. , • .., .
In:lreland a simildi. condition of things is
taking place. The'famine caused many' to
emigrate and the population is more 'ln pro
portion to the demand for labor. The:aop
emtion of the encumbered estates. bill . . as
1 drawn from England to Ireland some far
t men of capital and skill, and as a real title
iis conferred by the act of sale. many_ Irish
men of small Or moderate capital are taking
possession of the land. . This wilt gtadually
but surely create a pretty extensiril i siiiddle
class there, which is just what lrekkiid has
