AN EDITOR'S DLITT.
The preparation of a constantly recurring
periodical work, es:pecially:if conjoined with
other duties, is a sure means of making time
fly fast. There is no cessation—no pause ;
the task is never done ; the mind never un
occupied. " I'll leave its till to-Morrow,"
cars of be said ; pleasant loiterings - must not
be hoped for : it is on, on, tilt the account
is closed ; and so the years' 'ends come long
before they are looked for. An editor's-du
ties, even in a case comparatively uninipor
tant, are onerous and thankless. If he step
out manfully, he can scarcely avoid treading
on somebody's toes, who will tnake'a point
of never forgetting it ; wlkilst those on whom
he may bestow commendation, even if noth
ing more substantial, during his journey,
will quietly place it all to Shea own merits.
And yet, strange to say, there is scarcely
any profession or business that pays so badly.
We have charity enough to believe that few
persons—delinquent subscribers especially—
know the labors and responsibility of the
Editor's office. Much Might be said in ex
tenuation of his faults. Like other men; he
has passions and feelings; which often dictate
an exited article as othersmake sharp speech
es. Whether sick or in good health, busy or
at 10sure, with or without inclination his
duties are inexorable—the Saturdays will
come, and the paper must be ready for the
devouring public. 1.
As for wounding sensitive corns on other
people's toes, we belteiefthat a sort of neces
sary evil. It is impossible to please every
body, even in the humbleiit walks of life,
much, more when holding the prominent po
sition! Of a public Journalist. There is there
fore no excuse for hesitation at any time be
tween duty and convenience. We have long
since subscribed to Crockett's motto in news
paper life, as welt as in ;other matters, " Be
sure you're right, then !go ahead."
- Many of the profe.sioh are too timid to as
sume the voice pia triati,and speak out plain
ly their honest sentiments. They are time
serving, and wish to " Carry water on both
shoulders." Perhaps some clique or faction
might be offended by a straight-forward ad
vocacy of the principles of the Editor's polit
ical faith—he thereforesuffers the interests
of his party to be misrepresented and fall into
disrepute, for lack of sufficient courage to a
brave the opinion of few self-interested
members. A question of morals arises, he
assumes ground publically with neither side,
but is privately favorable -to both, orferhaps,
_being something of a tactician, he watches
their operations for a,While, and then, after
the main struggle has been nianftilly fought,
-and the spoils of victory are `seen glittering
in the distance, he suddenly comes to the res
,
; cue(?) of the stronger side. We despise
Tsue'h policy. It is the province --it is the
1 duty Of the press to lead the way in matters
of public opinion, ftfrnishing reliable facts
and data for the benefit of all free-thinkers.
PENNA. COLONIZATION SOCIETY
An address to the Clergy of all Denominaz
tions in the State, in behatlof this institution.
has been sent us with a reimen for its publica
tion. W,e not room for the whole of
'it; but give the folloWnig as the principal
facts, connected with the progress made by
the Society, in the great and good work it
has undertaken.
The object is to puts' ati fend to the slave
traffic, and provide for the colored man a
home upon the coast cif Africa, "where none
can molest him, or make him afraid," The
address remarks :--.4•The number 01 colonists.

added to that

five hundred and twenty miles along the
coast, with x depth inland of about twenty
five miles ; reaching from Cape Palmas, on
the extreme south, to, the Gallinas. A belt
of civilization ;—a heft •of glorious gospel

to second the ;efforts of the SocietyA by .both

noble and Christian-like an undertaking.
[l:7 SUDDEN DEATH.—\Ve -learn from a
friend of Orwigsburg, that an old gentleman
named &mock 'of that place, was found dead
in his bed on Wednesday rooming last. His
face was much swollen and suspicions were
at first prevalent that some foul play had been
,
Ail work. A Coroder's Inquest however, af
ter 'careful examination, found no evidence
that either violence or poison had been used,
and' returned a verdict that his death was
caused by an eruption of the' stomach from
some cause unknown—his previous health
had been generally good. He was an old
..
resident, Th and much respected: Much ex
citement prevailed among the citizens upon
the first discovery Of his sudden decease.
O:77SECILETART bORWTX, having recover
ed, his health, has...resumed his official duties
at Washington.
THE LICEEICAB coistaxsusloiss.
We give below an extract of a letter from
an American gentleman in London to his
friend in Washington respecting the portion •
of the Grand Exhibition which has been con
tributed by our cOuntlynien, and theCompari
scin which it bears with the contributions of
other countries. The view which be pres
ents is not pleasant-Lindeed it is rather mot' ,
titying- to our national pride—but it is from
an honest and intelligent source, and, though
unpalatable, the bitter may prove whole
some :
" The importance of this Exhibition has
been greatly underrated by us. The .Euro
pean display will be costly and magnificent'
beyond description. Some single individuals
have gone to an expense of £lO,OOO in the
arrangement and display of their goods. If
our Government had granted as many dol
lars to the objec4 we might have made a
creditable appearance. As it is, the Ameri
can portion will bear an appearance of stint
ing and meanness not very flattering to our
national vanity. The articles, now that th 4
are in the building, are found to be insuffi
cient to fill the allotted singe, and a consider
able portion of it has been resigned to other
1 countries. I fear we shall be very badly
1 beaten ; and I advise any one who intends
learning here in the expectation that this Ex
hibition is going to raise our country in the
eyes of the world to stay at home. I was
one of those who expected it, but now that
I see the splendid results of the art and taste
of the European nations, I feel that what
we have to show is only creditable consider
ing our youth. Some of our carriages and
machinery are, however, quite comparable
with the best here. In daguereotypes, also,
we shall excel, and in India rubber fabrics.
But in all works of art and taste—in sculp.
ture, glass, silks, woolens, and even in agri
cultural implements—we shall be entirely
surpassed or quite equalled. In designs we
are thrown'entirely into the shade. There
; will he an advantage growing out of all this.
We have been "comparing ourselves-among
ourselves" until we have become convinced
1 that we are ahead of all mankind. This di
rect comparison- will opeu our eyes, and
must, I think, result in great good, by giv
lag a powerful impulse to the arts in our
country ; if so, the temporary mortification
will be more than compensated, and may be
recurred to without regret."
" Etiam hac ohm fortasse meminisse ju
yabit.'"
THE ERIE RAILROAD.
The New York Tribune, speaking of the
opening of this important enterprise, re
marks Twenty-six years and a half ago
the Erie Canal was opened with rejoicings
from one end of the State to the other. And
fe't the men who participated in the enthu
'siasuc ceremonies of that day could hardly
have appreciated the effect of that work up.
on the prosperity of the country. The Erie
Railroad is no less important; in some re
spects it is even more so. Thousands look
upon it with very high anticipations ; but
we run no risk in saying that those who
paint, the future usefulness of this Road in
colors the most glowing, if they live to be
hold halter a quarter ola century has passed,
will find their brightest imaginings exceed
ed by the reality. Honor, then, to the en
ergy and perseverance of the men who have
accomplished this work, and to the President
and Ministers who come to do honor to them
and to the empire State!
PRESIDENT'S VlSlT.—President Fill
more accompanied by several members of his
Cabinet, visited Philadelphia on Monday last,
on his way to New York. to the celebration
of the opening of the Erie Railroad on Mon
day,next. His reception was very cordial,
and thousands assembled at every stopping
place along. the route to manifest their en
thusiastic welcome toward the party.
An appropriate committee of the city au
thorities of Baltimore accompanied the Pres
id.mt and suite from that place to Havre Be
Grace, where they were met by a similar
committee from Wilmington. Here they
were transferred from the cars to the boat
Roger Williams, which had left Philadelphia
that niorning with a committee and a num
ber of invited guests as a suitable escort.
SAD BEREAVEMET.—George Halber
stadt, a young gentleman of this Borough,
about 17 years of age, died of„the Yellow

last. - His father, Dr. George Halberstadte
ceived the sad intelligence of his decease on
Friday last by a letter from the'Captain oF a
Merchant vessel, bound to California and the
East Indies, on which George had been placed
by his father-some months since.
The bereavement is a very sad one to the
afflicted family—we deeply sympathize with
them and hope they may find consolation in
that fonntaid of Hope,, whose healing wa
ters are ever accessible, even in -the darkest

- pnyisi, the following communication at
the request of one of our citizens_ We know
nothing about the charges with regard to the curve
of the turnotit., - or the defect in the building, but it
must be admitted that• there has been a most unac
countable delay in changing the Depot, after pledges
given to the people 15 month. ago, that irshould be
moved as speedily as possible;
& a Pottsville Depot.—Since the passage of the
Act of Assembly, of March 29th, A. D. 1513, we
hiveleen waiting patiently for the erection of the
necessary buildings in our. Doroug.h, and for the 're
moval of the Depot from Mount Carbon to Potts
vine: It is said that "hope deferred, maketh the
heart sick," and continued disappointment, will, we
fancy, produCe the same effect.
When the Act was passed in March, 1843, the
citizens of the Coal Region were rejoiced that part
of the burden was about being removed from their
shilulders. Merchants, Coal Operators, Mechanic's
and others who transported largely, and whose busi
ness called them almost monthly to Philadelphia:,
fancied that, in a short time the cry of the Omnibu.4
drivers would be hushed, and that the drain upon
their poelzet4 would cease—but their expectations
litiVe proved illusOry and idle. In 1849, the Rail
'read Company being anxious to postpone the evil
day, and to ascertain how heavy a burden the citi
zens of Schuylkill county could bear, applied to the
Legislature for a further titmplement to the Act of
April, I 848; and the Legislature, at their request,
granted Them two years, for the purpose , of erecting
and compleihing the building in Pottsville. No
action was . taken by the citizens of the county
against this application, and the bill passed. Du
ring the winter and summer of '49 and '5O, nothing
of any importance was done by the Company, save
staking out the boundaries of what they intended
should be the loCation, and now May, 1831, is here,
and we are 'about as far from the accomplishment
of the Act 'of March, 1848, a-' we were upon the
, evening of its passage.
It is true, a building has been erected, and one
Engine endeavored to make thc . trip'• but tailed, and
it is said that the erection of the building was at
tended to in 'such a negligent manner, that a lif`t
class Engine cannot edeet an entrance into the
Raiding, in consequence of the door-was being too
tow to allow it to pass. We are informed that
the curve upon the road i• too great to allow the
Engines to pass with safety l . l and until this is abvia
ted, the idea of bringing - the passengers to Potts
ville has been abandoned.
.We were i.ati.stieti, from the tint, that the Com
pany were acting in bad faith, and their pureha.ing
the Mount Carbon Hotel, and other property there,
proves conclusively to us,. that if the citizens of
PottiNine wish juptice and fair play, they init..!

1,7" Iniitation to President Millard Fitt more
and C i atinet.—Pui.,unnt to notice, there was a large
enthusiastic meeting held at the ot;:Ars. , Mary
Weaver, in this Borough, on Saturday evening last,
'for the ptirpose of appointing a Committee to wait

The meeting being duly organized, the Hon. Chas,
W Pitman arose, and stated the object of the Meet
ing, Rodin his remark: said he was pleased to see
the citizens of the Coil Region, Whigs and Demo
crats, unite in paying this mark of respect to the
present Executive of the United States. It was
recusant be said, to see.all parties, in, this County,
thus united, when various portions of our beloced
land were severed by conflicting, interests and con
flicting Opinions; but that the people of the Coal
Region by their union in thus assembling to extend
to the,_Chief•Executive an ,invitation to visit their
Colinty c aiad said too plainly to he mistaken, that
they approVed of his course, and the course of his .
Cabinet; and were willing to sustain him in that
policy, at all hazards. He then alluded to the death
of the late Gen. ZACHARY Text-oa, paying a marked
tribute tif respect to his many virtues and patriot
ism, and concluded his address with an eulogy
upon the character and talents of our worthy Presi
dent. •
On motion of hl ijor John Downing, the follow

THE ORDER OF COURT.
Abstain from silling intorkating drink on Sunday
The Emporium of last week remarks "That
Judge Kidder said that the order of Court on
the subject of closing the Bars of Hotels, was
entirely misunderstood."
Read the circular :
" NOTICE i; hereby given to all the Licensed
Tavern-keepers of Schuylkill county, that numer
petitions haling been presented to the Court,
from the citizens of the said county, complaining of
the great evils which result from the sale of iatoxi•
eating drink, by licensed Tavern-keepers, on Sun
day, they have instructed me to give you notice to
abstain from selling the same on that day. The act
of 1705, subjects a :andlord to the payment of ti fine
for permitting tippling at his bar on Sunday, and the
Court will deem it sufficient cause for revoking the
license of such as continue to violate the law, and
hereafter they will consider it their duty to refuse
a license to such as disregard their injunction in
this particular. Respectfully Yours,
ROBERT M. PALMER, District Attoritey.
March 22, 1851
It is difficult, fur. any man, who can read,
to misunderstand the order of Court. There
can be no mistake about the meaning of it,
as Set forth - in this circular, signed by the
District Attorney, nor can it be alleged that
the Circular does not fairly state the intentions
of Judges Kidder and Fostet, who Made the
order. It may consist with the recollections
of all who were present, that the District At.
torney respectfully stated to the Court, that',
in order to prevent any misunderstanding as
to what the Court desired should be done, he
would prefer that Judge Kidder, should give
him the form of the circular that the Court
had directed to be sent to the Tavern-keepers.
The circular published in the papers, an[
signed by the District Attorney, was, if the
writer of this article is not mistaken, written
by . Judge Kidder. The circular, therefore,
may he considered as being the order 'of tht
Court. It is only necessary to read it, in or
der to see that any selling of liquors at the
bar, by Tavern-keepers, on Sunday,
_is not
only in direct opposition to the wora — of the
order, but to the object, meaning, and intent
of it, appearing on the face of the order itself.
The circular sets fort)::
First—" That numerous petitions have
been presented to the Court, from citizens of
the county, complaining of the great evils
which result from the sale of intoxicating
drink by Licensed Tavern-keepers, on Sun
day."
This is the evil complained of, and this is,
the evil which the Court wished to suppress
In order to do this, the li.`ouit directed tht
District Attorney :
Sccond—" To give the Tavern-keepers
notice, to abstain from selling the same, ( viz
intoxicating drink,) on that day."
There is no ambiguity about this. All is
so clear and plain, that no other words in the
Engtisb language, could better expose the de•
termination of the Judges, to stop the sale; of
liquors, on Sunday.
The People complain of "The sale of
toxicating drink, by licensed Tavern-keepers,
on Sunday." The Court orders "The Tav
ern-keepers to abstain from selling liquor or
that day."
The order then proceeds to state what will
he the consequence of disobedience to its re
quisitions, via:
Third--‘! The Act of 1705,subjects,a land-
lord to the payment of a fine for permitting
tippling at his bar, on Sunday; and the Court
will deem it a sufficient cause for revoking the
license of such as continue to violate this law
—and hereafter they will consider it their
duty to refuse a license to such as disregard
their injunction In this particular."
The injunction of the Court is, "to abstait
from selling liquor on Sunday."
.The penalty,—deprivation of the Tavern
license."
There is another Act of Assembly, that
thbse who are attempting to nullify the order
of the Court,ritay frod,when it is too late,hears
directly upon this subject, and shows conclu
siyely that the Court, in making the order to
the Tavern-keepers, ‘to abstain from selling
intoxicating drinks on Sunday," acted in strict
accordance with the law. It is unreasona
ble to suppose that any JUdge could have
ventured to make the assertion that the Court
will allow any sale of liquor at Tavern Bars
on Sunday, except in cases of "necessity and
charity." If any Judge did say so, he has
said that he will do that which is beyond the
power of any Court in Pennsylvania, viz:—
To dispense with a positive enactment of the
Legislature.
The Act of April 22, 1794, provides: .
SEC. 1. If any person shall do or perform any
worldly employment or business whatsoever on the
Lord's day, commonly culled Sunday, (works of
necessity and charity only excepted.) or shall use or
practice any unlawful game, hunting, shooting,
sport or diversion whatsoever, on the'same day,
and be convicted thereof, every such person, so
offending, shall for every such l offence, forfeit and
pay four dollars, to be levied by distress; or incase
he or she shall neglect or refuse to pay the said sum,

SOUTH CAROLINA
The State corivention now in session, at
Charleston, has adopted a series of resolu
tions, and iistened to a number of long-win-.
ded speechei, expressive of the right and
expediency of secession froin the Union.=--
South Carolina has ilways manifested such
a mad-cap sort of disposition, and, such an
unruly temper toward the rest of the family,
that her present behaviour is not much to be
wondered at. Theie would be one family
tivarrel disposed of, and one topic of news
less by ' her , immediate secession, still it
would be a source of regret, no matter of
how little value she may be, or how many
may prefer her 4, room to her company."
The loss would be felt mainly'for hersell's sake
—the other Stales, it is presumed, would be
able to 'take care of themselves, after she had
withdrawn. As the whole household feels and
feels deeply the desertion of one of its mem-
bers—even though the worst, and gladly
1 welcomes back the . prodigal son," so Would
it grieve the maternal heart of our govern
ment, to see even South Carolina yettlidraw
from her patronage and protection. We
therefore recommend as the hest means of
restoring her to sane and " sober second
thoughts," and at the same time of sparing
our own feelings a sense of mortification at
the foolishness of so near a relation, that
missionaries be appointed by the general
government, to .visit every corner of the
State, and preach repentance-and common
sense to the Disunionists e and eu_deavour to
pursuade the people in-Their right minds to
promise obedience and good behaviour for
the remainder of their lives.'
The resolutions reported by thU - Select com
mittee oftwenty-one and finally adopted as
embodying the' sentiments of the convention
are as follows :
Resolved, That in the opinion of this mee
ting, the State of South Carolina cannot
submit to the wrongs and aggressions which
have been perpetrated by the Federal Gov
ernment and the Northern States, without
dishonor and ruin ; and that it is _necessary
to relieve herself therefrom, whether with
or without the co-operation of other Souh
ern States.
Resolved, That concert of action with one
or more of our sister States of the South,
whether through the proposed Southern
Congress, ,or in any other manner, is an
object worth many sacrifices involved in
submission.
Resolved, That we hold the right of Se
cession to be essential to the sovereignty and
freedom of this Confederacy ; and that the
denial of that 'right would, furnish to an
injured State the strongest code for its exer
cise.
Resolved, That this meeting looks with
confidence and hope to the Convention of the
People, to exert the sovereign power of the
State in defence of it's, rights, at the earliest
practicable period, and,in the most effectual
manner, and to the Legislature to adopt the
most speedy and effectual measures towards
the same end. '
ORIGIN OF NEGRO SLAVERY.
Early in the sixteenth century, the Span
iards having founded settlctnents in the West
Indies, reduced the natives to bondage and
servitude. The constitutions, tempers and
habiti - of the-Indians;however, unfitted them
for such a condition. The system was con
sequently cruel, fatal and unprofitabli..
About the year 1517, Las Casas, the Span
ish Bishop of Chiapa, with the view of re
lieving the poor Indians from the cruelties to
which they were subjected, propose& to sub
stitute Africans for Indians. The suggestion
was immediately acted upon, and the Em
peror Charles V. granted a patent to certain
persons to supply the Spanish Islands with
slaves. This:was the= same Charles whom
Luther met at.the'Diet of Worms.
It is Paid, however, that negro Slaves had
been-lir:ported into the Spanish Colonies as
early as 1501: and that Las Casas only chose
otie of the two existing evils. In those days
and long afterwards, few appear to have
thought it.wrong to kidnap, or purchase from
native chiefs, the poor Africans, and the salve
to their consciences was that they were heath
en and of course accursed. This applied to
both Indians and Africans.
In 1565, the English eittered into the trade
of supplying the islands, but it was not un
til 1620 that the first cargo was carried into
these colonies, and these were carried in a
Dutch vessel, and landed in Virginia. At
that time , the Dutch had posession of New
Amsterdam, (now New York,) but the re
cords of Colony make no mention of
slaves until,six years afterwards. The re-'
cords of: Massachusetts make mention of
slaves as early as 1630.
Thus we find that from 1620 to 1808, a
period W,lBB years, slaves continued to be
imported from Africa to these colonies and
states and until near the close of the last cen
'fury the {winds of men seemed to be insensi
ble to the enormity' of the traffic. Now, it is
almost universally held in abhorrence. Such
are the revolutions in pitman sentiment : and
it is very manifest that the sentiment is still
adVancing and at war with slavery where
ever found.-..-' Pittsburg Gaz.
: TlllO CENSUS OF 1850.
The Republic, in referring to the proposed
visit of Mr. J. G. C. Kennedy, of the Census
Office, to Eirope, says its object is to exam
ine into the.methods adopted for tabular ar
rangement by those governments which have
just taken their census, and to obtain exact

World now in progress, and a knowledge of

it is believed, can be effected by an under

the publication of such facts as will admit
thereof in a uniform manner_. and by arrang
ing the tables of ages and otlj e t statistics so
as to admit of an easy comparative view of

be of incalculable importance, and it seems a
little singular that to this late day should be

CANNEL COAL OP VIRGINIA
We have now before us a beautiful speci
men of the Cannel Coal of Kanawha, Va.,
and as our acquaintance with this kind of fuel
is not inconsiderable, we have no hesitation
in saying we believe it to he equal to any
coal of the same kind in the world, and far
superior to any other coal whatever for a
great number of purposes. Cannel Coal
breaks with a dull fracture, but is capable of
receiving a polish like,marble, and it can be
worked with a knife or Ouse! into any form.
We have seen beautiful ornaments made of
it. and in a foreign paper, we recently no
ticed that a sofa had - been made by a Scottish
miner, for the Great Exhibition, out of this
material. But beautiful though thtS fuel is
sitth its clean and hard, yet - pliable grain, its
value consists in its usefulness and superior
ity, as an article of fuel and a producer of
l
light and heat. No coal can equal it for pro
ducing. gas. either in quantity or quality,.and
this is a fact to we hope some atten
tion will. be paid by our gas companies. It
is stated to be better than the Cumberland
coal of Maryland for raising steam, and is
free from any liability to spotaneous combos
tion. Those bituminous coals which are lia
ble to spontanous combustion, contain a con
si6erable portion of sulphur ; this is the rea
-1 son why they generate so much heat when
packed together, and made wet with water.
If one part of water is added to six parts
of strong sulphuric. acid in a glass vessel, I
the liquid will be raised to nearly the boiling
point.. This generates the carbonic and hy
drogen gases in the coal, and a spark will do
the rest to set the whole on fire. It is not
long since we gave an account - of three ves
sels being burned by the spontaneous com
bustion of the coals Which formed part o I
their cargoes. It is the absence of sulphur
in cannel coal, which makes it so valuable
for. good gas. We would like to see more of
this coal in our city, and hope that we may
induce some to use it for domestic purposes.
It burns in a grate like a candle, with a fine
white - Hatne,and leayea only a few white
ashes behind. The coal fields of Amerira
are of greater extent than those of all the
world beside. We have anthracite,
andbitumi
nous, cannel coals in abundance. Our
people in New York know what the Liver
pool andTennsylvania coals are—bituminous
and anthracite, but few, very few of them
know anything about the beautiful cannel
coal ; not one in a thousand, we believe, has
ever seen a sample of it. We trust that
what we have said may be the means of
bringing it more prominently into public no
tice.—Sicenhfic American.
PUTTING OUT VESUVIIIS.-Mr.
Mc-
Laughlin, recently returned from abroad,
states that there is a project on foot at-Naples
to extinguish the fires at Vesuvius! It is
understood that the bottom- of the main or
grand crater, is several thousand feet below
the level of the sea. The plan, °therefore,
is, to dig . ti large trench orcanal from the sea
to ihe - crater,"thi - expense of which will not
exceed two millions of dollars, and thus ex
tinguish the fires that have been burning for
thousand of years ! It is said that the fine
lands thus to be reclaimed, will more than
ten times pay the expense of executing the
grand design.
Q:7 STRANGE APPLICATION.—The•BriIiSh
Government have requested the Mayor of
New York to send over two police officers to
detect genteel- thieves at London during the
great-Fair. The application comes through
Mr. Barclay, the British Consul at New York,
and the expense is to be borne by the British
Government. Wby they wish for our police
officers has not been stated.—perhaps because
they are presumed to be acquainted with
" genteel " American rogues. What, will
John Bull send for next ?
