RUN 3..llfass Meeting.—A Mass Meeting :of the citizens of the county will be held at the Town Hall, on 'Monday evening, at 7 o'clock,-to express the views of the'people upon the coarse pursued by the Reading Railroad, in relation to the trde of the Re . gion, and to urge the necessity and expedi ency of constructing a new Road from Potts vale to Norristown. Mechanics, laborers, and miners, turn out ! You are all interest ed, and `let the proceedings of• Monday's meeting - be the expression of the whole Coun ty. The subjects to be presented are : Of the first importance to every class, and to' every individual citizen of the Coal Region. 11.1. ILJIO D K . TIN G. A large-meeting of the citizens, was held here on Wednesday evening, to express _ their views, and take Some action upon the 7 -course pursued by the Reading . Railroad • Co., in relation to the interests of the -Coal trade. The proceedings -will be found in another column. Several 'excellent addres ses were delivered, and the resolutions, it will be seen, speak to the point. They are temperate, - but independent and forcible.— The,proceedings vil meet with the cordial support of every citizen of the county.— The sentiinents, therein eipressed, exhibit the feeling engendered among the people 01 the Region, by' the unjust and oppressive course of the Reading Railroad. The for eign influence, -by which that Company is controlled,has no interest in common with the prosperity, op this - Region, and though • the vital support of the Road, depends upon our trade, its managers nevertheless mani ' fasted a spirit of reckless indifference to the' expression of our wishes, and an utter ab sence of all co-operative sympathy, with the crippled condition and necessities of the county. There' is considers le feeling among the Operators, and evidently a determina tion to resist the further encroachments of the Company—they will do almost any thing - rather than submit to,its impositions any longer. The Peopie;s Road- is bow' looked to "as /. the only remaining means of, redressing our . grieVances, and establishing the .trade upon . a fair. footing, and in a condition to compete lavotably with other Regions. If a fair and equitable means of transportation to market . be afforded us,with the advantages naturally possessed by this Region, and the yenily. in creaseddemand for Coal, there is do doubt but the amount ''o proauction we are capable of, would ,lice sufficient for three lines of public improvement, and make the invest ments in the - new enterprise pay liberally. SATES OF_IMEIGHT ON COAL ‘By reference to the rates of Toll and Freight, for the transportation of 'Coal On the Reading Railroad, found under the . prop er head, it will be seen that the freight front Mount Carbon ,has been fixed at 81,60 . per ton. 4he new arrangement went into op eration on Monday last—to continue till , - "further notice." This tedtiction is some thing in favor -of the operators, but not so much as they had hoped for, or as much as the present depressed condigon of the ,Trade _demanded. The Navigation rates will also be found in our columns. A reduction of 10 cents per ton has likewise been made on the Canal for toll for Coal from this Region. We had hoped tkat a fluther - reduction would have been Made by the Company, and we still insist upon it, that had an jade pendent course been adopted by the Directors, and the rates been proportioned to the con dition of the Trade, and with a regard to the wishes of the people, the greatly increased amount of business would have confirmed the superiority of low rates in the Compa __ ny's advantage. There is one obvious effect, that the course of these Companies will certainly have—it will only arouse the people to the immediate necessity of a new means of transportation, and excite them to greater zeal and activity for the Charter of the People's Road. It is the only provision now left for the people of the county to save themselves from inevitable ruin, and no time should be lost and no ef forts should be spared in accomplishing an end 'of such importance. PEOPLE'S ROAD ACommittee was appointed at nhe meet ,ing on Wedneiday evening to visit Harris burg, and urge the application hail Charter for the new road, before - the Legislature.— A Mais Meeting will be held at the Town . " - N Hall next Monday evening, to' express the views of the citizens of the county in re; lation to the enterprise. The new road is now regarded as the last resort of the people'of . the county from the oppressive impositions of the present road, , and as the only means left for saving them- selves from the ruin inevitable in the trade By letters from Harrisburg, we learn that a favorable feeling exists in the Legislature, in relation to granting . the charter; and in view of the facts that can be presented, as to the present condition of the trade, with the course of the Reading Railroad toward our interests, and the necessity for a new line of transportation, which the certain in creased demand for Coal is likely to require, we are quite sanguine of success. rj" Canal Com*sszoner.—The Inquirer,justly , noted for its correct opin ions, and its shrewdness in judging of men and things, noticing the Hon. Chas. W. Pit man urged by several papers as the , Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner, remarks, g. A better man is not to be found in Penn sylvania. He is eminently and deservedly popular, and posesses all the essentials for an efficient officer." His popularity cannot be questioned, and his faithful discharge of duty in the respon sible posts he has already filled,is a sufficient guarantee of what , might be expected in any situation, with which the people may honor him. ' o::7"Narrigation.—The Pittsburgh Gazette says that the water was Jet into the Canalon Sunday last,from Sharpsburgh to Pittsburgh, so that the communication between that place and Philadelphia is now uninterrupted. A brisk spring trade is anticipated by the • Pittetatigh merchant!. A bilk recently introduced by Mr. May of Somerset, before the House and referred to the Judiciary Committee, providing for the publication of the Laws in the newspa pers of the various counties of the State, has been reported back to the Howe aith.a neg ative recommendation. The bill is compli cated, though itspbject is plain and worthy of support. It might, no doubt, be readily simplified, and thus the benefit :of this excel lent suggestion be secured, without the in convenience of the pharaphranalia accom panying it. . .

A.

HUNTER'S BILL, The,following is that article of the,recent Act of Congress regulating the appraisement of merchandise subject to ad valorem duties, now undergoiug so much diseussiou as to the construction likely to be put tipou it, by the Secretary of the Treasury : AN ACT to ; amend the acts regulating the appraisement of imported merchandise, and for other purposes. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States Of Amer ica in Congress assembled, That iu all cases where there is or shill be imposed any ad valorem rate of duty on any goods, wares, or merchandise, imported into the United States, it shall be the duty of the collector within whose disttict the same shall be im ported or entered tp cause the 4 actual mar ket Fable or wholesale price thereof, at the eriod of the exportation to the United States, in the.principal markets of the coun try from which the same shall have been imported into the United States, to be ap praised, estimated, and ascertained ; and to such value or price shall be added all costs and charges, except insurance, and including in every case a charge for commissions at the usual rates, as the true value at the port where the same may be entered, upon which duties shall be assessed. - We -,see it Stated by some one of ; the Washington writers, that Secretary Corwin was consulted and had much to do in _the_ original preparation of the.Bilt, and totiset quently, the construction ..ratiw put upon it by him, would necessarily be thi normal de sign of the Bill: "We gave his interpreta tion of it last week. It is said that the Secretary of the Treasu• ry has ordered the preparation of a circular, promulgating the proper construction of the Law. It will be IJoked for with general in terest. O Fire in Philadelphia.—The Assembly Building at the corner of Tenth and Chesnut n s tat streets, was destroyed by fire o Tuetckly list. The fire was discovered abo 3 o'clock in the morning, and before it hail spread to any extent, but the hesitancy of so e of the occupants - to-allow the engines to be used, gave time for the flames to get considerable headway. The fire raged for six hours.— The'building was owned by JOhn W. Ridg wa4,.into whose hands it had come some years since at a cost of $95,000. The prop erty was insured for 830,001, The,adjacent buildings were but hill i 'ured. Among the most important losses, i the destructron of J. I.

[ta'Election of Senator Ash.—The Leg islature of New York has at length made choice of the United States Senator from -that State: Ex-Governor. Fish was elected on Tuesday night last. The vote stood , in the Senate, 16 for Hamilton Fish, JOhn A. Dix 6, and 6 scattering, in the House 68 for Fish, 6 for Dix, 1 for Bouck, 1 for Griu3ger, and two members declined voting.

York on Wednesday, in honor of the event., r7Sudden 'Pransiti on.—Carbondale, Lu zerne Co., has been incorporated by an Act of the .Legislature into a city with all the offices pertaining thereto.

The manner in which the case had been prepared, - proved conclusively that the interests of the Com monwealth *ill never tiffer, , whilbeit remains in , the hands df the present District Attorney. To. give a clear understanding of the case, it will he necessary to_ transcribe some of the testimony.— The first-person called, was Dr. Lewis Royer, Coroner of the county :—" I am the Coroner of Schuylkill COunty. Upon the 21st of De,cember, I wasealledsmon tehold an' Inquest upon the body of Margaret'Pifer. When I came to the house, I found her lying in bed, -covered with a feather bed, and upon examination, I found her dead. I then summoned a 'Jury, held an Inquest"; and they ren deed a verdict in the case. When I first entered the-foom, it iktßi in confusion, three or four hours having passed since the murder had occurred. The table was spread for dinner, and some Se - usages were in a pan in the stove, but not cooked; the fire having gone.but. Near 'the door, 'about three or four feet front the sill, there was a large quantity of blood, it had run to the door sill and there coagula ted, but a sniall quantity of it had run over the sill, out of the Ones. There wal very little blood on I the be clot* or in the bed,---there was a knife lying orithe-table, upon the corner nearest the bed; and over the' mite, a handkerchief saturated with blood. The knife was bloody, and not quite dry, ' but had evidently been handled. Cannot' shy Whether there were finger mark' upon the knife or , not. I found a (nick hanging used-the wall, 'near the door, besprinkled with blood—thepart sprinkled I with blood Was about four feet from the floor. I I found a pair:Of old boots springled, with blood on the upper leather. and the soles covered with blood j j —they were lying under the table. Hanging against the.ivatl, ',found a spear and a club. This is the spear.' There were no marks upon it when I first saw it. It had been handled. The roots is about 18 by 20 feet long. Upon uncovering the body, the hair was tangled, lying down over the face, neck, and shoulders. The frock and under clothes were torn down to her knees ; the petticoat torn to the seans;lthe breast was bare, and she was „lying on her back. It was some time before I found the wound. '- When I did find it, I fancied it was a flesh wound, but upon examination, I soon saw it' Was fatal. Upon elevating her firm, I found the in ternal to correspond with the external wound, and by pressing, I fdund the orifice sufficiently large to admit the • fingers: The external wound was near the third rib, and three inches from the breast bone. The internal wound was about one inch from the breast bone, and upon close examination, I found .protading from it, a small pinion of-the , Lungs.' and upsn . elevating the arm, a small quantity of blood was seen oozing from the wound, Partially coagulated:: The wound pertorated he superior lobe, of she, left' lung, thence through the pericardi um into the' right ventricle of the heart—the length of the -incision being a little less than half an inch.

The knife I hold in my hand, I believe to be the instrument that caused the wound—itS 'size corresponds with it, and its length is also about the same. 1 think Mrs. -Pellet was standing when the fatal blow was inflicted. The wound was a little downwards, inwards and back wards. (A spear was here produced, and Dr. Roy er was asked if the 'wound could have been inflic ted with it:) Witness answered yes, but thinks it would almost be a matter of impossibility. The children had been sent to the Alms Hoes&behare I came." Local Vain. The Commonwealth examined about thirty wit nesses, and-proved the following admission of the Prisoner : • • 1`) When Peifer was arrested,he stated that the morning of.his wife's death, be was at filchuylkill Haven, and stopped at the Hotel of Mr. Boyet, and drank xevirrnl times. Upon his return home, his little boy.bad a spear which he had made to keep away bad men from his hlse. After he bad spoken to his wife, he told her to take the spear away horn the cbild-4she told him she could not. Prisoner then stooped down on one side of the child, and Mrs. Peifel on the other,and the prisoner pulled the spear out of the child's hand with a quick jerk, and the point being sharp, it ran into his wife's breast. When he lUoked up, he saw her look pale, and, as she was sinking, be caught her in his arms,, and carried het around the room a short time, and then laid her on the bed. When he raw the blood flow ing out of:the wound, he was frightened, and he ran up stairs, lot a bottle of yinegari and washed her leer slid side with it, but she would not come to life. Prisoner was - then frightened, and not 'mowing what to do, he ran away to Virginia. While there, lie saw in the newspapers that a Re ward was Offered for his apprehension, on account of the murder of his wife, be then determined to come and give, himself up to 13. M. Palmer, to be tried, as he killed her by accident, and not design. The defence relied upon Insanity for an acquittal, and, from ii close examination of twenty or thirty witn e ssag,:they partially succeeded in establishing the fact that Martin was not at ill times perfectly lane. At.ihalf-past 8 o'clock, P. M., the defence . closed, and LC. Nevi3e asked the indulgence of the Coutt , ':tmtil morning.

Mr. D., wishes the Company to buy it of him. We under stand its complication of machinery is their only objection. - Snow.—Oni Monday and Tuesday last., Snow fell to the depth of 12 inches or more in this vicinity, heavier than any . fall during the previous winter. One or two sleighs were out in the Bo rough, but they di fl not venture far from home.— The streets have been wet and muddy, and we un derstand the travelling in the country has been very bad.

EDITOR'S ' TABLE GREAT RAILROAD MEETING At'a Public Meeting of the Citizens . of Schuylkill County, held pursuant to public notice, at the house of Col. J. C. Lessig, in the Borough of Pottsville,March 19, 1851, , On motion, - N. M. WILSON, Esq 2 . was called to the Chair; JOHN MADISON, FRANK Pori, Hon. S. N. PALMER, JONATHAN WAS LET, and W. POLLOCK, of Pottsville, GEO. Serszniont Esq., of Butler Township, and WILLIAM FEGER, of Pin glove, were tluly . elected Vice Presidents, and Chas. Bennett, and David X. Klock, Esgrs., were elected Secretaries. When upon motion, Hon. S. N. Palmer; Col. James Connor, W. Feger, Geo. , Seitzinger, _Col. J. M. Long, D. F. Glassmire, and Chas. Bennett were appoint ed a Committee to draft a Preamble and Reso lutions.. During the absence of the Commit tee, B. WV. Cumeaing, and Jas. H. Camp bell. E'sqrs., addressed the meeting. Atter a short absence, the ComMittee returned, and reported through their Chairman the follow ing Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, to wit : . • WHEREAS, Experience shows that the lar ger the amount of freight transported on the Reading Railroad, the higher is their rate of charges; and that in proportion lo the in crease of tonnage transported upon their works, we find,their charges increasing, in as great, if not a greater ratio. While all other lines of transportation,when economi cally managed, invariably reduce charges in prorortion as their tonnage augments. - Resolved, That the tariff of tolls for the 1 . present year, as promulgated by the Reading Railroad Company, is much higher than the trade can bear, and retain a remunera tion for the capital invested. Resolved, That the fact of a single House in Londim owning one third of the capital of the Reading. Railroad, shows conclusively that the said Company is under a foreign in fluence, hostile to the prosperity of this re gion. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet ing. founded upOn the estimates of compe tent Engineers, a new Railroad can be-con structed from Pottsville to Philadelphia, via, Phonixville and Norristown, equal in every respect to the present Road, at an expense not exceeding 86,000,000 and which would be capable, of transporting Coal at a charge not exceeding one dollar per ton, and yield to the stockholders a handsome interest on their investment. ' Resolved, That in view of the certain in creased demand for Coal, the time is not far distant, when the production in the Schuyl kill region will be fully equal ) • to the entire ca pacity. of both the prestmtns , well as the pro posed new line. • Resolved, That a Committee of five be ap pointed to proceed forthwith to Harrisburg, and urge upon the Legislature the import ance of passing an Act, incorporating a Com. pang with authority to construct the pro posed new Railroad from Potttiville to Phila delphia via Phoenixville and Norristown. On motion,theCommittee,suggested in the sth Resolution, was increased to seven, whereupon 'the following gentlemen were nominated and appointed by the meeting said Committee. - to wit: - Hon. S. N. Palmer, Capt. Frank Pott, Col. C. Feger Jackson, Col. James Connor; Col. J. M. Long, E. W. McGinnis and A. Sillyman, Esqrs.

On motion, Frank POtt, Chas. Bennett, and Jacob M. Long were appointed a Committee to give public notice of said meeting. B. W. Cumming; James Neal, and Chas.

Captain Bates, of the ship Nonantum, frem Baltimore for California, which was destroyed by fire from spontaneous combus tion of her cargo Of coal, took passage at the Falkland Islands-in the Scotch ship Her. magoon, Captain M'Kenrie, for Valparaiso, with coal:but when 12 days out, west of Cape Horn, this ship also took fire from sport taneour conbustion, and every exertion to smother it proved unavailing. They took to their boats.and were picked up soon after by the bridal' ship Symmetry, Captain John Thompson, of Liverpool, for Acapulco, with Coal. Captain T. would not deviate from his course, to land Captain Bates and wife, or the other ship's company ; but December 15th, in latitude 47 S. longitude 79 W. they; fell in with ship Franchon, of Newburyport,l from Baltimore for San Francisco with coal,' which also took on fire. and was. destroyed as before reported, making the third ship burnt by that means within' a few months, while Captain B. and wife were on board ii the Thompson, of the Symmetry, had the cruelty to demand and received -Captain Bates. fiwthe thirteeed days he'and his wife were on board. his ship "thirty ;pounds ster ling.", taking an advantage; unexampled in meanness, of persons who had suffered a double shipwreck. and had no means .orrti dressing themselves.
