Mass Meettng.r•We are requested to state that a Mass Meeting Jam citizens will be held at the Exchange Hotel this evening. The object of the meeting is to urge the char ter for the new Railroad, and to sustain the Coal Opemtors In prpcuring a redUction of the present rate oT falls,' arc. THE PEOPLE'S ROAD,. It" flossikiliry —and Am it can be made la conversation With a practical' business man, the other day; acquainted with almost 1 every inch of ground in_ the valley of the Schuylkill, he stated thafour estimate of the construction of thel new Railroad from the Coal Region to Philadelphia was entirely too high, and was calculated to retard the pro ject to, some extent. He proposed the fol lowing plan for making the Road, which we submit to the public, feeling confident that it is not only feasible, but that the Road will be made in less than two years after the charter is obtained.- Commence grading the Road from Norris own .to Port Clinton, .and also a branch from Manayunk down the Schuylkill, to connect with the Schuylkill Front Railroad, now made ot_making, and strike the Delaware below YbiladelplaiA—afterwards puh the k its Road from Port Chilton to Pottsville ra pidly as possible, and lay down only a single_ track. The expense cf grading the Road for the whole distance to be made, and laying down a single track, would not exceed two millions of dollars, and it would require about a half million more to stock the Road, to carry a halt million tons of Coal and the other trade, making the whole investment only about two millions five hundred thousand . d o llars, for a single track of Railroad from the Coal Region to the Delaware, stocked with machinery to carry upwards of 500,000 ions of Cnal, together with Passengers and the other trade. All the Iron required for a single trick, we are authorized to state, will 1)4 furnished by the Iron men in the valley of the Schuylkill, for which they Will take the Bonds of the Company. - A conbiderable portion of the Machinery can be obtained on the •ame terms. A la ;e town having .been built up at Richmond,ln consequence of that site be ing fixed-upon as a shipping port, other interest's on the Delaware are ready to give this Cciinpany all the Landings they require, in order to build up a town on their property. When this clack is completed, and ready _for transportation. the half million tons of coal, which can be carried over it at 81 per eon, will control the rates on the other ave. nuts, and the ,value of the tiro tracks of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, together with. all its machinery, will be worth only about six Millions of dollars. 4 The, heavy landed interest; the vast body of Coal lands owned by thn,City of Phila deli:this—the great manufacturing interest's, and the commercial interests of the City of • Philadelphia, are deeply interested in this • projeet,-and as. soon as it is rightly under- - stood, and the press of Philadelphia does its duty in laying important information before the people, it can and ,will be made in less than two years. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION Our attention has recently been called to the burning of the ships Waldron, Nonan tuna, Humayoon and Fauchon, from the spontaneous combustion of their Coal. Ii is) ,remarkable that three of the four were sup plied with Cumberland (Bituminous) Coal. Some years ego, when we suggested that Bituminous Coal was subject to spontaneous inflammability, and proposed to attribute the loss of the missing steamer President to this cause but few gave it any attention, and very• many, who bad been engaged in the Coal business•'for years, scouted the idea. Instances, since that, however, have been so frequent, that no ooe t , who is at all familiar with the subject,- can doubt the danger of using Bituminous Coal on this account. Not long since, a patent was taken out in England, by which air was conveyed through pipes to the holds of ships, where the Coat was stored, to prevent its taking fire. This answered only 'partially ; and now, as an ad ditional means of safety, the "bunkers" are divided by partitions, so that the quantity of Coal is separated into a number of small parcels, rendering them less liable to'acci- dental inflammability. But no adequate mesas of protection against the liability to accident, have yet been discovered. All Bituminous Coals are not alike dan gerously inflammable. The ptoductions of some mines, .both in Europe and in - this -country, are exceptions, but the Cumberland Coal seems to be peculiarly unfortunate in this respect. The danger of using Bitumi- nous Coal, fofsea voyages, is daily*corniog more apparent. It being much finer, -it packs more closely than the Anthracite, and when the lealt wet or damp, it readily bats and emits a large quantity of highly inflam mable Gas. We would therefore suggest as a safer method of using it than any yet adop ted, that a mixture of Anthracite with the Bituminous, about half and half, will be -most likely to secure safety from accident. The large lumps of Anthracite prevent the packing of the Bituminous, and afford suffi cient ventilation to keep it in good condition. Anthracite is Undoubtedly , the better fuel for Ocean Navigation. Besides being free from the danger of spontaneous combustion, it is much cleaner, and occupies less apace for storage a , very important desideratum in long voyagei. The time is not tar distant,, when its substitution for the Bilumincius in Navigation, if not for • most other purposes of life, wiltbe general. For ourselves; we would be almost as wil ling to go -On board a powder magazine, as on board a Steamer destined for a long voy age using most kinds of bituminous Coal. 07•Waslitcgton National Monument.-- Th e cliosophic Society, one of. the two liter ary associations connected with Princet on (N.

I cannot close without allu- I ding briefly to the amicable and friendly feeling 1 that exists among the members of the Society, for the success of each other, and the common good of the Association. A difference of opinion, relative to its interests, has at times manifested itself, and called forth irritable remarks. But this has tiappiy ceased, and the Society is again steadfast in the unity of opinion and of interest among all its mem bers. A bond of fraternity has been cast around us, sufficient to check, correct, and restrain the un- - due feelings of any one, who is, or may hereafter be connected with us. There are firmness, ability; and gentlemanly behavior here adequate to disarm any one, no matter what his talents may be, who whould seek to bring disgrace or ridicule upon the Society. With these remarks, entertaining towards you the kindest feelings, and hoping that Providence may spare us all to meet again at the commence ment of the next session, !Eno roe Now FAREWELL. STATE LEGISLATURE. In ttie Senate 'since our last, on motion of Mr. Frailey, the Bill to authorise the School directors of Schuylkill Haven ; to borrow money, was taken up, read a second and third time, and passed. The Bill to re-annex Montour and Colum bia Counties passed to a second readingin the Senate and was then postponed. A Bill was reported in the House by Mr. Reid to incorporate the Pottsville, Norris town and Philadelphia Railroad Company. The Divorce Committee of the House met some days ago, and agreed to report the Bill divorcing Dr. William Wetherill; by a vote of 6 to 3, the Committee consisting of nine members. Mr. Sit - whets repeated a Bill in the House vesting chancery powers in the Court of com mon Pleas of Schuylkill county. After much discussion in the Senate up on the Repeal of the Kidnapping Law, an amendment was passed on Wednesday last, repealing only that part of it relating to - the use of the State prisons for the confinement of persons arrested as fugitive slaves—leav ing it optional with the jailor, his obligation to act being now annulled. Nothing has yet been done with the Free Banking Bill in the House.

The pleriof insanity, urged for the prisoner by his court sel, was entirely refuted during the trial. Previous to Judge Kidder's delivery of the Prisoner's sen tence, being asked to make any rereirka he might wish to communicatelo the court, Peifer replied at length, for nearly an hour, plainly and unequivo cally admitting that he had killed his wife, but charging the deed upon accident and not design. rirSuperinterilsnt of Public Sehools.—At a meeting of the School.

Palmer, Esq.,the following resolutions, which were adoptd by acclama tion:— , WHEREAS, It is evident to every citizen of Schuylkill County, who at all underitands or has reflected upon the subject, that our staple interest, the Coal Trade, cannot - much longer sustain itself against the adverse in fluences that have been brought to bear against it, and that unless somethingis done to relieve our operators from the pressure of those influences, they will be sacrificed and with them our whole community must suf fer : and i i, , hereas, the projected - People's Railroad ftorn Pottsville to Philadelphia, via Norristowb,. offers a mode of escape from the incubus of the present Reading . Railroad monopoly, Which controlled by British influ ences,,appears determined to crush and ruin 'our County; Therefore, Resolved,; That as citizens of Schuylkill County deeply interested in her welfare, we earnestly ask of the Legislature to grant the Charter or Incorporation asked for by the friends of the new Railroad. Resolved,' That every consideration ofjus lice to the people of this county, as well in the circumstances that at present sdrround them as in the past history and conduct of the Reading Railroad Company, demand, this grant of a Charter for the new Road at the hands of the Legislature. Resolved, That a new Railroad fiom this Coal Region.to Philadelphia, that shall be constructed economically and prudently, so as to keep it tree of the millions of debt that have been imprudently squandered upon the present Road, Whether in faciiitaugg and cheapeding the rates of passenger travel, or in affording to the consumer of Coal, one of the "necessaries of life at a reduced and reasonable rate, must prove a great public benefit and can only be objected to by the present hoide of Reading Railroad plunder ers and their allies. Resolved", That the energy and enterprise of the Coal Operators of this region; have in times past. proved themselves equal to every emergency, and that if they must fall in the prOent struggle with the Reading ,Railroad monopoly, they at least WI like men, fighting to the Jest ditch." Resolved, That although the present atti tude and recent movements of the Reading Railroad Company, appear as if they were determined to defy the efforts of those whom they are attempting to destroy, we are not without hope that an enlightened public opinion operating upon an honest Legisla lure, Will yet compel them to apply for the payment of their enormous debt: Resolved, That we most earnestly protest against any Representatives of the British Stockholders in the Reading Railroad Com pany, t sitting in conclave in their office in Philadelphia, to .fix and regulate the value of property and price of labor, in Schuylkill county. 471, Resolved, That the cheering acconwrom Harrisburg, with regard to the prospects of the passage of the People's Railroad Bill, ought to inspire every man in our comma pity, who feels interested in its welfare to make an earnest effort in behalf of himself and his neighbors, by fending his influence in favor of our present object. Resolved, That our warmest • thanks are due our Representatives in the Senate and House ofßepresentative4 Groin State Legisla ture, who have so unitedly given their aid and Countenance to, the carrying out of the wish es of their constituents, upon the subject of the new Road. Resolved, That the Committee appointed at our recent meeting. to represent the ap-' phcation for 'the People's Road before the Ltgislature, have our entire confidence. and to their hands we cheerfully entrust our in terest in this respect. Rewired, That these proceedings be pub, lisped in the Pottsville Emporium end Miners' Journal.. . - AddretautiL were then made b Robert M. Palmer, J. It Adam, D.

Jolts Praxtrox, G. Suer, • Wx. Donut. soft, M. G. Henries, and J. G. liEwEs. . Mi. Neill in a file brief rem arks laid bey fore the meeting the objects of this call, which he stated to be the position of Schuy . l. eottuty in the struggle now going on .112 the Coal _Trade. and the necessity of a reduc tion in the charges now made for carrying our products to market. On motion, it was resolved, that a com mittee of eight be appointed to draft resolu tions. The committee consisted of Patrick Fogarty. hII. J. Colll2of. James Neill, Chu. &nem. , Geo. S. Repplier, B. Milnes, F. Macdonald. The committee on Redolutioni were au thorized to appoint a committee from their own body., to call on Mr. Tucker and ascer tain the fact of a draw-back being allowed on Coal shipped from Richmond to New York. Mr. Bannon now addressed the meeting, and stated to them some very interesting luta and figures In regard to the project now entertained of building a new Road on the east aide of the Schuylkill river, to Philadel phia. The following resolutions from the com mittee on resolutions were then read and adopted: WREZHAI, great efforts are being made by other mining districts to trammel and ruin the mining toterests of this county, by offer ing their _Cul in the New York and adja cent markets, at low prices, for this pro fessed object therefore, •:" Resolved, That in our opinion, it is impos sible for the Colliers of Schuylkill county to compete , successfully with other Regions, under the present rates of toll and transpor tation, charged by the Philadelphia and Read ingßailroad Company. Resolved, That unless something is done by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company to relieve us from the present oner ous tax for transportation, the utter ruin of our trade is inevitable. Retched, That a committee of five be ap• pointed to confer with the President of the Reading Railroad Company, to ascertain what reduction they are willing to make, to save us from our unequal position as compe titors for the Coal market. A committee of six consisting of the fol lowingpersons, was appointed by the Chair to coirer with Mr. Tucker. viz : Jas. Niell, Patrick Fogarty, G. Bast, R_ Ratclliffe, John Pinkerton, and M. G. Hefter. The Presi dent was added to the committee. The committee, on their 'return, reported as follows: They had au interview with Mr. Tucker.-=they report that he was not authorised to act on the part of the Board, but that bey consider that he (Mr. . Tucker) was in'favor of a reduction of the charges now made ; therefore it was Resolved, That this meeting shall adjourn until this day week, before which time Mr. Tucker will lay our resolutions and remon strances before the Board of the Railroad Co., and report to ns their anawerbefore this meeting comes together again. On motion, it was Resolved, That we re duce our shipments by Railroad at least 50 per cent. until we hear from Mr. Tucker. A committee of threepersons, consisting of Gideon Bast, F. Macdonaldsind George S. Repplier. was appointed to call on Oper ators not present, and prevail upon them to. act with ns in this matter. On motion, Resolved, That we adjourn to meet again next Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the same place. A. M. MACDONALD. See'y. TAXING BACIFIRLORS Among the Many curiosities of Legisla tive proceedings at Harrisburg. we notice the following petition lately presented by Mr. Walker : To the Honorable the Senate and House • of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: The petition of the undersigned citizens of Pennsylvania, respectfully represents, That the enormous increase of bachelors amongst our citizens, calls loudly for legis lative action to force the obstinate and-per verse into the regular beaten track. We therefore most earnestly pray your Honora ble bodies to enact a law Imposing a tax of one dollar per head upon all single men'of twenty-five years of age, and an additional dollar for every year above that age, and that the fund so raised be• devoted to the endowment and Maintenance of a seminary for the education of illegitimate children. With a proviso. however, that any single man-who shall ratisty the commissioners of his county that no woman within twenty miles of his place of abode can be found willing to marry him, may obtain an abate ment of the tax. And they will ever pray. Tristram Shandy, Tam O'Shanter, David Jonci, John Smith, John Jones, Peter Fritz. This mimorial Was, on motion, referred to a Committee of Bachelors over 30 years of age. MB. Faarz, received the honorable appointment of Chairman of the Committee. GERMAN OPINION OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS. The following is translated from the Grens boten, an excellent weekly paper published at Leipsic. Our readers may perceive by it that their beloved country is not universally I admitted'to excel all others, at least in its newspapers. By way of consolation, how ever, let us assure them that the, writer does not know so much as he thinks he does : in fact the scantiness of his information and the excess of his assurance give his remarks a rather amusing character, even while our national vanity winces under the truth there is in them. It will be observed,' too, that the worst thing he says of the press in the United States is fortified by the ponderous authority of the North American Review. America- is that country of the earth where perhaps the press has the least of use fulinfinence, and where, at the same time, there are the most newspapers. The Amer ican newspapers are almost exclusively de voted to news. This material part of jour nalism has absorbed everything ; talent is of little account, and no other rival q is known. .As everybody in America subscribes for some paper or other, the only thing is to get ahead of other papets with the latest intelligence. To do this the publisher of an American journal is capable of every sacrifice and every exertion. Expresses, couriers, extra trains, are put in requisition, and the electric tele gra& employed to an event unheard of hi Europe. Even the President's Message, a very long document,, is regularly dispatched by telegraph. The steamers too,' coming from Europe, are boarded miles from Tan i by boats kept for the purpose by the journals. As soon as a boat gets its dispatches it makes off with all speed for their publication. One conquers his competitor by means °fan arrow shot ashore. - Every city, even the smallest, has several papers. Rochester, with 30,000 inhabitants has five papers. which, hoWever contain nothing but advertisements, com tnuaicstions, anti often slanderous abuse.— "No American," Says Tocqueville in. his ex cellent work on America, "would dare to propase to restrict the liberty of the press." The recklessness ofthe North American press surpasses all ,bounds. Too, often" says the North American Resins, "the Eiewspa- , pens are the organs of the meanest and bus et passions. They ,contribute little, can serve no useful or honorable interest, and are a disgrace to she country." In England there are abont-370 papers for tvrenty-six millions pf human beingv in AmetiCs, for fourteen millions of inhabitanui there are 11,- 000 newspapers. All Inivellers in the United States, and the mast respected statesmen of the country itself—we cite only Webster— are unanimous in their condemnation of the mean and reckless tone of the American Press. 27' biconibussible ,Harp Rofic—The St. Louis Republican contains a very interesting notice of the trial of incombustible hempen rope; recently made in that city : , A piece of Prepared rope and a piece or wire rope were put in ins blacksmith s fire.. The heat was in enough to weld the strands of the wire rope together ; whilst the hempen rope was only slightly charrednn the outside. Anat• er test wait made: a piece of rope and a small *bar of iron brought to a white heat; yet the ecelbge wan but - little, if any more effected by theifire than in the previous ex paiment; ID' General Scoti.—The Whig papers, in 0412Da Indiana, almost without exception, have _- ituie .M allabentango streets.
