The newly-elected Chief Burgess, we are happy to learn, proposes to make his official services efficient in enforcing the laws, espe cially those relating to,the unlawful traffic in intoxicating liquors. He intends going to work in earnest, he will act moderately but firmly—it were imprudent to =be • hasty to wards those whose illegal course long-con tinued custom has rendered almost unques tionable. He will,also, strictly inquire into the discharge of their respective duties, on the part of - other officers of the Borough, under his control. He, has been infotmed, of a number of Tippling houses in the Borough, where all kinds of liquors are sold without license.and gambling to - any extent allowed, and where young men, in many cases mere boys, are enticed to participate ial the most - infernal revelries and debauchery. Every good citi zen would rejoice in the speedy suppression of such ; places, and there are, no doubt, not a few of them in our midst. II his plans are.tarried into effect, the Burgess willde ,. serve the hearty support and co-operation of the whole community and be everlastingly entitled to their gratitude. TUE PRESS OF TILE V. STATES. The census for 1850 furnishes some inter esting facts and , figures in relation to , the press of the Uniteil States. It appears that the whole number of newspapers and perio dicals in the countryh v ri the Ist day of June, 1850, - amounted to p,soo. The aggregate circulation was about 5,000,000, and the en tire number of copie , s pri nted annually,42:?,- 600,000.

JUDGE OF THE SUPREME COURT.—The Governor has appointed the Hon. GEORGE WOODWARD Judge of the Supreme Court, in place of Judge COULTER, deceased. In point of capacity the appointment is a good one- 7 - hut we hope that the -Secretary of State, ( who, no doubt, aided in this appointment), will not hereafter charge the Whigs and Na tires with being " church-burners," after having appointed the most rank " church burner" in the State to the Supreme Bench. We do not wish to be considered as condemn ing the appointment—but merely to show up the conduct of Locofocoism before and after an election, which appear to )different Q 7" SELLING LOTTERY TICKETs.—We un derstand that a large number of lottery tick-. ets are clandestinely sold in this place, and that probably 15 - or $20,000 is annually Ab stracted for that purpose. The attention of the Chief Burgess has been called to the s'ith ject, and he is determined to prosectite all offenders to the full extent of the law. The frequent violations of law in this vicinity with impunity is a source of great evil, and is beginning to show itself in many ways.— It is`gradually undermining and destroying every principle of right, justice and honor —nor is it confined to any particular class - of the community, but seems to pervade all to some extent. 117 THE Two DROMlOS.—Christopher Co lumbus Potter and Americus Vespucius Pot ter, are twin brothers, and look so precisely alike that we question (ways the editor of the Providence Journal,) if they know themselves from each other. If they do, nobody else dues. Both are members of the General As sembly—Christopher a Whig, and Americus Democrat ; and there will be a pretty musi when they get to Newport. - Not a soul in the House can tell one from the other: and the Democrats will be running to Christo- pher, and the \Vhigs to Americus, with all the secrets of their respective parties. ROJIANISM IN AMERICA: A volume entitled •, Letters to therHon. ROGER B. TANEY. Chief Justice of the Uni ted Sauey, by Kirwan," has been- published by the HARPERS. The objeci of the work as announced by the author, is this:_ " I design these letters to be an appeal frnm the priests to the people of the Roman faith : hence I address them to a layman of that faith. Upoa the face of the earth there is no people so robbed, so deluded, and--de graded by a priesthood, or upon whom so many motives and interests are pressing to assert their mental and spiritual indepen dence. " I design these letters to teach end to in fluence, if possible, the men of education and influence of this land, whether Papists Or Protestants. Hence 1 address them to a man distinguished for his mental training, and by his high social and judicial position. No greater curse threatens this nation than the spread of Romanism in it. _ Almost - any other evil would be a blessing in comparison with .this. And the man who courts the priest to get the votes of his dupes—who flatter/ the spies of the despots of Rome for the purpose of securing their assistance to vote him into power, should be regarded as selling his country for a mess of pottage. 71 speak in these pages as I feel about the Priests, nod as all must feel who study them at home, and who witness the outrages they ematlit, and the lives which they lead. If any complain of a want of reverence, I plead guilty, and offer as my excuse an un conquerable besetting sin to reverence only the sincere and the true." Pahtfui Facts.—Duringi Me sir and a hall years ending December 31; 1851; there had ,bten 190,646 persons arrested by the police in the city of New York, of whom 140,792 were for offences resulting . almost entirely from the free use of intoxicating drinks. [FOIL TUE ausras', JOrrt AL.] • MR. Enron :—On returning to Tamaqua, atter an absence of two or three weeks, the Journal was handed to me, containing a communication, purporting to be an answer to mine on the subject of Normal Schools as State Institutions. It took some time to re cover the elect of such an onslaught, but, after the smote had cleared away and I had surveyed the field, l thought I would "peck my flint and try again." • I am sorry that it interferes so ninth with your correspondent's "convenience," to no tice sin communication, and perhaps I ought to apologizelor intruding myself again upon his time and attention ; but I must be per , mitred to say, that his last article, so far as am concerned, is merely an attempt at semi cism and misrepresentation, a very common expedient for those whose argumentative and reasoning faculties are deficient. With regard to my " position," I think, Sir,l understand it,but with regardin that of my opponent I am not quite so sure... There is,in some writers,such a want of perspicuity, saying one thing and meaning another, that it is romewhat dif f icult to ascertain their where-abouts. I will now proceed to notice some of my opponent's " positions." In the first place he objects to, my use of the word " subve!- sive." Perhaps the term is rather stroug,br I meant uo more by it than be does, in hts first article, when he says, with regard to State Normal Schools, that they would be "an incubus upon local enterprise and sub versive' of general independence and-ener gy." He cavils at my use of the terms, "subversive of the cause of popular educa tion," and in the next sentence admits, that "an establishment may be 'subversive' of, or destructive to a system," and surely this is all I 'said and more also.. What next? He denies charging the State Institution with being a " political machine." Well, what does lie say? • He says, "What does the his tory of State patronage and control, every where teach us? Why, that the inevitable tendency_of such control and patronage, is to subjecrlivirything to the sway of part and personal interests," (italics my own.) Now, Mr. Editor, if this language does not amount to such a charge, I do not know what terms would express it. Again he says, " I assume that he ie opposed to the education of leach ers, with a reference to their calling." In deed, Sir, I made no such assumption. Mr. J. says, in his first article, that the existing Academies might be made more efficient in - the education of teach'ers, than a School for that specific object. Now, who does not see the fallacy of such an assertion. In order to accomplish this, Academ ic.inst rue tion _must be entirely changed from what it is now, or else a Normal School superinduced, which would, in fact, make two institutions. But we must visit West Point again. My opponent, no doubt, thinks he has made some capital out of that. Let us tee. Mr. J. as serts that the establishment of a State Nor mal School would be to " subject everything to the sway of personal and party interests," and this assertion is made in the absence of all proof, and, in order to dis prove this, I adduced the case of West Point, showing clearly, as I think, that a State institution for learning bad been in successful operation for half a' entury, accomplishing its impor tant objects, without coming under this sub jection to party influence. This was all the use I made of the West Point Academy. I pursued the parallel between that and Nor mal Schools no further and allethat the gen tleman has said, on that topic, his no appli cation to my remarks. He raises a phantom of his own and then goes to work to demol ish it. But how a profession can be so very " popular," and yet so " unbendingly aristo cratic," is what I cannot understand. Will the gentleman please explain ? But I did say that the most of. Mr. J's. objections to State Normal Schools would apply to the Com mon School System, and I say so still. The Common School System is, in an important sense, a State establishment. It says that every teacher shall possess such and such. qualifications, and -shall not be allowed to teach unless he can present a diploma from a lawfully constituted' board of examiners, &c. Here then is that "arbitrary distinction." that " grand centralizing influence and•pow er," that "anti-democratic monopoly" which my, opponent prates so much about. And the same objections would be valid against Mr. J's. plan. I intended`to have examined the statistics in regard to the New York Normal School, but the number of the Journal containing them has been mislaid. From the hasty glance I gave them, I. saw nothir , of much weight: .::I think there was nothing since 18-18,and_the condemn i tory objection appears to be that'some 20 or 30 pupils,, out of 300, failed to become teachers. ' I have before me a publication called" The Ohio Teacher," io which I find the following statements : . Speaking of: the adoption of Normal Schools, it says, "This is a fixed necessity. It has been the experience of every State, awake to the interests of education, in the Union: and.has been found the talismanic and only remedy for the various evils- men tioned in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont, New York, Rhode Island, Michi gan and °tint. States. But one voice has" been heard from these States, since their ad option of the Normal Institute System of preparing teachers for the school-room, and that has been the loud, unequivocal voice of .commendation and gfatulation." Of course Mr. Frederick S. Jewell always excepted.— Professor Barnard, Principal of the Normal School in Connecticut, says, - " It is the important agency which could betmployed by the State to increase the usefulness of the Com mon Sihools, Loth as to the quality and the amount of education given." And again he says, " There is not on record - a- single in stance of the abandonment of this agency for providing good teachers for Public Schools whenever it has been tried under liberal leg islative or governmental patronage." Of the New York Normal School it says, "every re port of the examining committee of the- lem b is- Uttar., every address and every speech in the legislature on education, ts teeming with praise lof the Normal School." " There are more than two hundred such schools now in oper ation in this country and in Europe, and every year is adding to the number. Here then are some of the " facts," the "actual results," the" reliable authority" which Mr. J. so imperatively demands. And if he does not find these " facts" "stubborn things," I . shall think he is under the influ ••nce of that " stultification" he talks of. But this article has been sufficiently ex tended. There are, Mr. Editor, individuals who greatly desire an earthly immortality. One of this class, whose name has come down to us from antiquity, in order to secure this, burned down a heathen temple. But it Is somewhat doubtful whether my friend at Schuylkill Haven, will attain this prize 'by his crusade , against State Normal Schas. Perhaps it will not be " convenient" for me to continue this discussion, it will depend an circumstances, but I would like to see an other sample of my opponent's "courteous and correct argumentation."

'BEWARE OF CHEM' RAILS A correspondent inquires as to the facts with regard to the Rails which have brokea front nine to lime on the Elie Railroad. He Itai given told they are American, which he won't believe, having, understood that Ame rican Rails are greatly superior'in the Bri- tish. Ve are sorry to say that our correspon , dent evinces equal ignorance and bigotry.— It is certainly a fact that the Rails made in this cOuntry have been superior in th'e aver -1- those impoited from Great Britain . ; but he who imamnes tliat American Rail or lot of Hails must be better than any Foreign Mill, evinces a lack of sense. In the rase 61 the Erie Rails, it is true that nut all but most of them were Ameti , can, and it happened in this manner: These Rails were made several years ago, at an entirely new concern, which had, of course, no experience in the business. The prominent detect of the British Rails then in use was a softness which caused them to yield to the pressure of heavily laden and rapidly propelled cars, and so to become ra pidly defaced or flattened. To remedy this, the new American concern made its Rail much harder. The end in view was thus attained ; these nails do not yield to and be- Come flattened by use: after years of severe nee, they are scarcely distinguishable in shape from new ones. But iu curing one defect another was created. These American Bails. nearly as hard as a diamond, were too brittle, so that, especially when Saturated with intetre frost, they are hablelfo he bro ken by the rapid passage of heavy trains over them, especially where the sleepers are laid well apart. Hence several accidents have arisen, mainly in times of the severest cold: and we have heard that the.Direetors a (.n1 t Ilir tl and "'- contemplate taking up these brittle Rails and replacing them by others, using the old ones for turn-outs, &c., where little harm can suit from their breaking. It will, of course, be understood that the extraordinary seveil ty or the past winter has aegravated theevil experienced. _ The latest fashion of Railmaking (we pre sume in Europe as well as here) unites a-re- 0 lative soft and ductile iron at the base of ' each Rail with a hard (consequently brittle) face, solas to give security at once against crughing.and breaking. This is as it should be; but it was not iinderStood fide years ago. And, while better Rails are made now than formerly here, yet ruinously cheap bad ones are also made still in great profusion. Some thirty thousand tons of such have recently, been imported, and will, iu due time, NI re ceived. We have many companies only anxious to finish their roads promptly and cheaply, and these will be very likely to have bad Rails foisted upon them. Lookout! American Railway Times. HOW IT WORKS. One year ago, Portland( Maine) contained from three to four hundred public Grogshops; now not one. In these Grogshops, some.s3. each per day were expended, or 8300,000 per annum, mainly by those least able to af• ford the outlay. The aggregate thus expen ded would buy at least five barrels of Flour and fire cords of Wood each for every fami ly in the city. One year• ago there were 112 persons in the Portland Alms-House; now but 90; and sereniptire of these are known to have been reduced to want by intemperance—of course,, prior to the taking 'effect of the Maine Law. In the two months prior to the Law's going into operation, there were nineteen commit treats in that city for serious crime,; in the ten months which have since transpired, there were but ten. At the March .term of the District Court for 1851 there were seven teen indictments for stealing found; in Mardi, 1852, there was but one. In - the ten months closing with Alarch, 1851, there 'were 279 commitments for Drunkenness, Larceny,&c.; Ibr the corresponding ten months ending with March, 1852, there were 135, (less than half the number Tor the preceding year;) and Of these seventy-two for selling Liquor 'without license, leaving less than one-fourth the number of commitments, save for Rum, selling, in ten months, under as during the - little period next before the law went into operation. To the Watch-House, 431 persons were Committed during the ten months prior to the enactment of the Law ; during the : like period since, there have been 180, or consi derably less than one-half thefoimer number. When the Maine. Law passed, Portland was meditating anew Alms-House (at .% cost of $50,000) and a new . Jail; tint under' the operation of that law they are found unne cessary, the present M'il'lings being ample for twice her present population so long as the Maine Law shall he maintained, altho' some sly, clandestine liquor-selling is still persevered in. , The above facts' we gather from Mayor Dow's retiring Mes Sage. In the face of such facts, will the Rnmsellers be able to put down the Law or •keep dOwrt the man New Yark Tribune, . 50.1 f
