' In Wendell'Phillips’s last fiery speech at Ne w York, he alluded to Mrs. .L.

Richmond JSnpurer, of Saturday last, contains the correspondence between Mrs. Child and Governor ~ Wise.' She addresses the Governor as follows: “ I, and allmy large circle of Abolition acquaint ances, were taken by'Burprise ,when- news came, of Capt/Brown’s reeent attempt; nor do I know of a single person who would have approved of it, had they been apprised of his intentions. Dqt I, and thousands of • others/ feel a natural impulse of •' sympathy for the brave and suffering man.: Per • naps Goa* who sees the inmost of our soals, per ceives some such sentiment in your heart also.

Tho first, second) third, fourth.fifth, seventh, eighth, eiovehtli, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, sixteenth,* 'nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-first, and twenty-third wards have, generally, gone against the office-holders in, this city.

Buchan am. , We. consider this result a just victory of thoso callod as “Rebels” by tho Administra tion clique of office-holders, who to help their masters, spent large sums of money, collected from their subordinates for the ostensible pur pose of aiding in. the last State election, but the greater part of which was retained to ope rate upon this. The sum, it is said, amounted to seven or eight thousand dollars. -The Democrats who have so nobly disen thralled themselves from the grossest tyranny at the polls, most look to it 10-day , or they will find themselyes toli In many Instances, as they were at the last election of tho exeentive committee. Dot them go in numbers to the different' conventions to-day, to strengthen the hands ol their delegates. The offico heldera will be busy with monoy and promises, to obtain votes. If*o have heard of several strango doings of the oligarchy. It is sold the navy yard was closed at noon and no ouo ad mitted daring tho afternoon to work, all the employees having been compelled to attend the delegate elections and to vote the ticket prepared lor them by their superiors, under orders, no doubt, from Washington. . The. whole canvass was. conducted by tho office-holders in tho most shameless manner. This is the beginning of the end of that misrule in this city, or wo much, mistako tho character of its Democracy. Only, such scenes as those of yesterday were wanting to arouse it to a fall sense of its danger and its duty. Organization ol the House. Wo copy the following paragraph from tho letter of “ Independent”—the Washington correspondent of tho Philadelphia North dmericai^- dated November oth, and pub lished in that paper of yesterday: “Mr. Underwood, of Kontuoky, a highly ret spectable member of tbo last Bouse ofßepiesenta tires,'whovoonßlstontly and courageously resisted the lieoompton fraud In’ all its phases, and united with Northern opposition, is a candidate for the Clerkship, If, as now seems to be conceded, the Speakership should go tgthe North, tho Couth will have a fair claim to this position, and It could not be more worthily conferred than upon Mr. Un derwood, who is a gentleman of high and unex ceptionable character,who would give dignity to tho affair; and reflect, credit upon the party vrhioh might cUct him. No posslblo objection oan be urged against him. either politically or personally, and just at this time his eieotion would do much to silence the base clamor whioh has found such unscrupulous utterance. When eo-ealled anti* Uecompton Deraoorata recanted the faith they had voluntarily professed, and under the threats of power returned to the allegiance which they had temporarily deserted, Mr. Underwood, and the gallant Southern men who affiliated with him, never faltered for an Instant. They wore true thronghont, aotlng upon a principle, and not influ enced l>y any motivo of passing oxpediesoy. And in this connection, tho truth or history requires it to be stated that, upon the Snal teat of the Kngljsh bill—a contrivance of tho Administration—come of thafew anti-Lecompton Democrats who did remain true, while professing to be hatter Demoorata than others with whom they differed, were constrained to that eourse by the .firmness, of Mr. Broderick, who reoently paid . the Density of hfa dovoted fidelity, if he fact la'well known hero, that not many hours before the vote on that hill; Mr. Doug las himself was on the very point of oavlng in, with aomo of his followers, whd did not surrender, and that nothing bat the decision of the Senator from California prevented that defection. - The same re mark would apply to one or two membora of the Honso, who were anxious to retrieve the false step whioh they supposed had been taken, and to return to the fold like erring bat repentant brethren. Mr. Hiokman was not of this number; bat there ore others who eiamored more loudly afterwards, that were only restrained from bolting by the moral forde of his example, and tho bold attitude assumed by Hr. Broderiok. A little modesty in making de mands at this time would be more beeoming, con sidering their antecedents, and the besitattotfwbich they exhibited at the oritleal hour.” The'only two points in tho above paragraph —marked thronghont, as it is, by character istic nnihimess—that deservo notice, are the allnsions to Senator Douglas, and to the course ol the so-called “ Anti-Lecbmpton Demo crats” in tho last House of Representatives of the United States. Hr. Douglas needs no defence as to his course on the great quostion that has agitated the country since November and December of 1857. Least of all, should he be assailed by a writer for a Northern journal professing to represent, candidly, the actions of,public men at tho capital. His public re cord, from his early antagonism of the Admln- he is nobly con tending for the great principle of self-govern ment, is his own best defence. We loavo hint with his record.' Bnt something more should be said of the De mocrats in the House of Representatives who opposed theLeeompton scheme and tho English iniquity, and never filtered., even for a mo ment, in the course they assumed from the be ginning, and who are so contemptuously ignored in the above extract. If Mr. Brode rick were living to-day, he would affirm what we now assort—and we arc suro Mr. Hickman himseli would not hesitate to declare—that Henry Chapman of Pennsylvania, John B. Haskin and Hobaoe F. Clarke of Hew York, John G. Davis of Indiana, Joseph C. MoKibdin of California, Garnbt B. Adbain ,of New’ Jersey, and Isaac N. Mok bis of Illinois, (like Broderick and Hick man,) although surrounded by temptations, and threatened and traduced in every conceivable manner, bravely maintained the good tight from the first to the last. Even when they saw those who bad started out with them in opposition to the Administration, as well of their own party in the free States as a few Americans in the Southern States, give way before the blan dishments of power, they continued to adhere to the truth. Every one of these men, with the exception of MoKianra, who was defeated in his appeal to the pooplo, and Chapman, who refused a renomination, has been sus tained for his course by the ballot-box. We have no right to BpcaSt for such of them ns have been returned to Congress; but this is the first time wo have hoard that they have made any «demands," or that any porson has dared to make any “ demands" in their name. The Misses Heron Natali. On Saturday afternoon, tho Directors of tho Academy of Music gave a sort of improvised Concert, at which the Misses Hehoh Natali sang. Signor 80000 assisted. Owing to an accident otir invitation did not reach 11s until long after the appointed hour—tar too lato, In fact, to be available. We have to express onr regret, bccauso we understand that the gifted and highly accomplished young ladies sang with great success. This wo can well believe, liecause we have heard them, at private parties, boforo as well os since their South American and Cuban tour, and the im provement not only in their execution but in their voices struck us os being very marked indeed. On next Monday evening, wo learn from gonial and over-polite Mr. Beoxkt, super intendent oi Musical Fund Hail, that the Misses Hebon Natali will give a concert in that room. Signor Rooeo will also sing. Wo can promise the pnblic a treat of no ordinary degree. The Natali sisters are very flue' vocalists, with pure, good, expressive voices, and they merit, in their own city, a portion, at least, of the great patronage which wo are so ready to extend to mere strangers. Theso yonng vocalists, we are confident, require only ordinary justice and fair acknowledgment to beeomo bfilllant stars in our musical horizon. Joseph P.

Wo are happy to state that the work op the Sunbary and Erie Railroad is progressing with astonishing rapidity. It will bo recol-' lectod that, on the 19th of May last, tho board of managers of this road ! met at tho office of the ooinpany, ip this city, for the purpose of dooiding upon, the route of the, middle divi sion, and also of placing It under contract. This division is the last link of the road, and extends from West oroek, St. Mary’s, Ridg way, Clarion river, and Two-milo run, to a point near Warren. Tho work was awarded to tho firm of Milton Cortricjiit k Co., and they immediately proceeded with groat energy to tho accomplishment of thoir task. In an editorial article which appc&rod in The Pbess on thp 20th of May wo apoko of these’ gentlemen as follows: • “ They havo taken tbo entire work lot, and agreo lo prepare tho same for tho suporstruoture lor a definite sum, a largo amount of whioh is to ho paid in stock of tho company at par. They have also agrood to complete threo fourths of the work on or before tho first day of January next, and the re mainder by tho first of July following, whioh will insure the entire completion and opening of tho whole liae of tho Sunbury and Krio Bailroad, from Philadelphia to the port of Erie, by November of 1889. “ Since Mr. Morehond fans assnmod the presidenoy of the Bunbnry and Brio Railroad, he has completed one hondrod and sixty miles of graduation, upon whioh the traok will bo laid, and wlll be finished daring the present summer and autumn. Bevernl gangs of tracklayers have boon at work for some months at both extremes of tho road. The road will be opened, with its connoctioni, from Phila delphia to Look Haven, two hundred and sixty miles, on or before the 25th of June next, end from Brie to Warren, sixty-five miles, by the first of October of this year.” In ordet to show how energetically they have prosecuted their contract, under the active superintendence ofS. Dillon, Esq., and how fully they have been sustained by the board of managers, and by the efficient presi dent, ”W. G- Mobedkai), Esq., wo are now authorized to state that forty miles of the eighty of their contract have already been graded and preparod lor the rails. This sec tion of the road crosses the Alleghenies, and has heretofore been considered the most diffi cult on the entire route, and yet, within an unprecedented short space of time, all the obstaclos havo been overcome. It will thus be aeon that the contractors aro steadily pro grosßing in the realization of their expecta tions, and in tho fulfilment of their promises. But fifty additional miles now remain to bo graded and prepared for tho rails. Thus the wholo work will bo finished and in work ing order by tho 4th of July of 18G0, being tho time .fixed in tho contract with Gortmgdt & Co. Tho Sunbnry and Erie is tho only road uniting tho Atlantic with the lakes and the Mississippi that crosses tho AUeghanies at on easy grado, and it is being constructed at a cost of not more than half the money expended on other lines. -"We cahnot better conclude this .article than by giving tho following ex tract from Fernon’s United States Railroad and Mining Register of tho 29th of October. “ Affection for tho mother Commonwealth—Slate pride—lies deeper than tho currents that are mov odby motives and by feelings which take their direction and their force from storm-winds and day events. And, however local interests and plotting and counter-plotting aspirants may divide and sub divide on measures which t&ko their legal shape in legislative acts, those only give lasting public satis faction, and can withstand the impartial test of historic inquiry and record, which are pervaded with a tondoncy to build up and prosper the oities, while developing and rendering available the vast and varied rosouroes of tho Commonwealth, whoso groatnou is the aggregation of the urban and the rural populations under the jurisdiction of the laws en&oted at Harrisburg, by representatives from the several counties, and the consolidated oity, respectively assembled. Milos. From Sunbury to Brio oity, the wholo length of the road is. 270 Eastern division, from Sunbury, 24 miles west of Whetham..... 105 Middle division, from 24 miles west of Whot ham to a point 20 miles east of Warren.... 80 Western division, 20 miles cost of Warren, to Brie'oity 85 « On the Hasten* division trains run over eighty one miles of road, and on the Western division over forty-two miles of road. Inside of four weeks the track will belaid down to Wamn, sixty-five mtioa from Brio, when the Sunbury andErio Rail road Company will have in use one hundred and forty-six miles of road—being more thatf one half their entire line. On the Eastern division, west of Whotham, the graduation Is completed for a dis tance of thirty-eight miles, to within two miles east of Driftwood. On the western division, on the twenty miles east of Warren, the graduation is pro gressing. And of tho Middle division forty miles aro graded. From the data here given it will bo seen that tho l&id-down track of the Sunbury and Brie Rail road will, in a short time, measure eigbty-fivo miles east from Brio oity, and one hundred and nineteen mUeswest from Banbury; in other words, that the company will toon have in operation, at the ends of their line, twenty-four miles of road, leaving but fifty-four miles to be finished, of wkloh forty miles are now graded. Tho limit named in the contracts for tho completion of tho graduation is July, 1860, whioh limit,however, as is almoßt al ways theease, will perhaps bo extended somowhat beyond that tlmo. Meanwhile, the track-laying will bepusherion, so that when the last sections are graded, tire track-layers will soon, (hereafter, fill the gap and complete tho iron way to Erie city. u The rails used are from the Montour and Rough and Ready Mills, at Danville, end the Lackawanna Mill at Scranton. - “Look Jiavon, which, via TTarrtuhnrcy and T,». uatr0ny........ -vawv'tnßCancVinnir ruinKttfi*' phis as Altoona on the Pennsylvania Railroad, has been fixed upon as the site for tho company’s work shops. “ To furnish and equip two hundred and seventy mlloe of road between Sunbury and Brio, including passengor end freight ears to run through from Brie city to Philadelphia, expenditures In con siderable alnennt will be unavoidable, for as there Is no change of cars between Jersey City and Dun kirk on the New York and Brie Railroad, nor be tween Philadelphia and Pittsburg on the Pennsyl vania Railroad, neither should there be any change of care betwoon Philadelphia and Erie city on the Sunbury and Brie Railroad “ Ana as, moreovor, tho State of Pennsylvania and tho oity of Philadelphia and all localities on the route be(weon the Delawnro river and Lake Brie are interested as well in the equipment of tho road as in tholayiog down of its track, and as, fur thermore, the city of Philadelphia out of tho pro ceeds of direct taxation pays six percent, interest on $2,250,000 invested in the stock of the Sunbury and Brie road—(that finished portion of (t too which is operated by tho Northern Central Railroad for Baltimore acoount)—suroly the State of Pennsyl vania. in the prospective fiscal exigency of the oaso, would best subserve her permanent Interests by re leasing the company, for a term of years, from the payment of tho interest accruing on tho bonds in her possession, upon condition that the amount so reloaded—sl7s,ooo poranfiuto—-should bo expended for lccowotivos and cars, with which to operate tbe road, after the rails are down. “As the matter stands, tho Sunbury and Brio Railroad Company aro using the proceeds of the resale of thoso canals to build their road; and if said proceodg and tho proceeds realisable from the sole of tlio $3,500,000 of bonds roserved out of tho $7,000,800 five per cent, mortgage, ono moiety of which tho State received in consideration of pur chase monoy for her canals, be not sufficient to build tho road and equip it, why then the State, on her bonds, like tbo city on her shares, should ac quit tho company from paying interest for a rea sonable time, subject to the stipulation named—be cause it needs no prophot’s vision to bo ablo to pro-, diet tliuL if the company’s treasury Is oxh&usted beforo the road is stooked with equipments, tho State will bo asked to return or caneol the $0,500,- 000 of bonds in her possession “To raise sl7s,ooo—tho annual Interest duo the State—out of the sale of bonds, makos a debt against the company in a sum greatly exceeding that amount, and os this process, at the saino timo, cute into iheoompany’sccfftrs and the company’s OT&dlt, the practical effect is more hurtful to tho ooropany than advantageous to the State. “ In order, ihereforo, that Governor Packer may stand on the record as a consistent, pirsistont, and judicious friend of the great road upon which, through aid rendered by the State, work was re sumed in his term of offico with a view to its com pletion to Lnko Brie, the financial aspect of the matter mast oommand his attention and considera tion to the end as In the beginning, and prompt him to recommend such legislative aotlon as tho aotual fiscal condition of the company’s treasury will render most salutary and effectual in compass ing, without halt or delay, an objeot of such com mercial and finanoial magnltudo and Importance as tiie rapid, straightforward oonetruoMon and equipment of tho Sunbury and Brio Railroad, which, including the sale or the State oanals, is tho chief measuro by whioh bis Administration will bo adjudged.” IYusWAM G.

Reverdy Johnson oontlnues to be the target of assault on the part of the Administration or gans. Notwithstanding the fact that he has at no time boon considered An applicant or candidate for office at the hands of the Administration, and that he occupies a position so Independent as to be enabled to take a calm and statesmanlike view of overy great question as it arises, and that he has no personal griofs to avenge, the experiment tried upon overy upright and patriotio man who has : dtlfered with the Administration, is, I peroolve, being put in full force against him. They may ohargo that Judge Douglas la a candidate for Pre sident, and thAt othors who have co-operated with him -in the contest for prinoipto are anima ted by solfish motives, or by & desire to re taliate for wrongs inflicted upon themselves: But false as all snob accusations may be as against them, there Is not a shadow ef suspicion for tho slightest insinuation that Iteverdy Johnson has been inspired by any but the noblest and tho highest motlvos. Ho has not only been one of the warmost friends of Sonthorn Institutions, but was the first volunteer counsel in the celebrated ease of Dred Scott, on the pari of the South, before the Supreme Court of the United States ; and there fjre may be supposed to understand what that great tribunal meant when it pronounced its deci sion and its dietum la thatcaso. Such a man oan net be the enemy of Southorn institutions. He has eome forward, then, to hold up and strengthen tho hands of Stephen A. Douglas In good faith, pot to assist the Northern adversaries of the Sooth. AU his interests aro with the South, and nil hi® prejudices and his affections. In order to show how Rovcrdy Johnson stood with the extromo Southern men only yesterday, I beg to call your attention to tho great debate which took place on the 3d ot March, 1858, in the Sonate of tho United States, in whioh the actioi\ of the Supromo Court on tho Dred Soott decision was dia cussod alike with animation and with aorimony. Mr. Soward appoarod as tho assailant of tho court. Ho entered the lists, armed eap-a-pie, and arraigned tho venerablo Justice of that sage tribunal for mally beforo tho Sonate and tho eountry. He charged the President with a deliberate attempt to pervert tho judgment of the oourt in tho Dred Scott oase into a solemn declaration against freedom in tho Territories, and he laid particular stross upon that theory whioh Reverdy Johnson in his late un answerable argument so irresistibly controvortod, that slavery existed, by virtue of the Constitution of tho United States, in theso Territories. Mr. Seward, with his soloran air, his choice and woll* ehoson phrasos, and his long yoars ef experience in public life surrounding him like a rampart, and with his hosts of influential supporters in evory froo State of tho Union at his book, felt, os bo ohallongod a combatant in this great tourna ment, that he was strong in what be doubtless couoeived to bo right, and, therefore, that he had full privilege to speak “ with voice potential, and double as thoduke’s.” Immediately after he took his scat Hon. P..Benjamin, thon, and now> a Benator In Congress from the Southern State of Louisiana, rose to reply. If Mr. Seward’s friends olaltn that ho is the Bichard of the Lion Heart of bis organisation, so may the friends of Mr. Benja min claim that bo is the Salodin of his. There is something In tho manuor of the oHro-eomplexioncd Senator from the sugar-growing State that rocalls tho Saraoenio warrior. Ho speaks in soft and silken phrases; he wields a blade so bright and keen that it first fasoinates the eye, and then foroes and conquers the conviction. A groat lawyer, an ac complished tactician, a well.bred gentleman, tho idol of our Washington sooioty, he is, at the same time, tho most uncompromising friend of tho South, and—if he will ponnlt mo to say it—the most unforgiving opponent of all who aro not llko him— friendly to human slavery. But he possesses, llko the character drawn by Sir Walter Soott in his •‘Talisman,” Jko virtue of sometimes doing jue tloo to an enemy. After defending tho old ohief, Roger B. Taney, against the attack of Mr. Seward, on tho occasion referred to, it was not surprising that he should assail tho latter for having ar raigned the former because of his decision in tho Dred Scott case; and wben, having spoken in terms of exaltod praise of tho vonerable man who sits botwoe* tho judgos of that groat court—making the first, although tho middle, man of the nine— he turned about for ono who hod tho most infiu enoo with that court, for ono who desorved to I sUnd before it as tho attested and anointed apos tle standi boforo tho august priesthood, and ploads for the faith whioh they and ho believe, his eyo fell upon Rovordy Johnson,-'of Maryland—and as Nathan said unto David, ho no doubt said to him self, “Thou art tho man!” Thus spoke the trade of extreme Pouthorn sentiment; “ I happen to know, however, whatever may be the fact with the other, that one of the opposing counsel was not paid by any slaveholders at all; that one of the opposing counsel volunteered as amieut curia, by vir- tut !•/ his position as head of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States ; by virtue of hie position at ex-Attorney General of the United Statet;by virtue of hie position as a compeer of the honorable Senator, and hisformer eolltaeue onthisfloor/rom the State of Mary land, Mr, Beverdy Johnson. 7'hat gentleman volun teered in the ease as amitue curitr, because the whole section of the country to whose interests he had been de voted from his birth had an interest in this great ques tion to be decided, and which, at the time of his volun teering in the east, he did not vetbnow to be represented by counsel. Tha hqnorablo Mr. Geiger, of Missouri, afterwards entered hie name of rooord end appeared for tlio defendant." Occasional. INrORTS AND EXPORTS SINCE JAX. I—VII.ITAUr MATTERS— HON. WM.

The season is rapidly approaching when the claims of suffering and destitution wilt again ap peal to the good.

CITY ITEMS. Tub ” CrJS-BCRXISO COOOSG-STOTB” 15H ITS RionircL Invextos.—ln disentsinr the merits of tbe rariousnew improvements from timetotiave Riven to the public, we have heretofore had occasion to apeak in commendatory terms of the celebrated Gas-eonsam* inyCookiuß-ctoTe and Rause, invented by Sir. James Ppcar, of this city, doing business at 1116 Market street. He not only forested this popular stove—the most complete ia all respects ever siren to the public —but since its first introduction he has been untiring in adding such improvements, from time to time, as were best calculated still more to enhance itsvahie. The success attending the sale of this stove has been extraordicary; and it is not surprising, therefore. efforts should be made by other parties to claim for it a ** priority of invention,” which, we understand, baa been done, but on grounds so untenable that the orig inal patentee is not likety to be affected by it, except it be to fonder still more notorious the admirable stove of which, beyond doubt, he it the rightful owner and inventor. It will bo remembered, by those who have read our deseript-on of the scientific peculiarities of Mr. SpeaFfr store, that its chief excellence, as a ** gas bnntfT.’ K consisted in the ptrftrraud ehc.mbtr on the underside of the cross centre-piece. Passing the warehouse of Mr. Spear, a few days ego, we entered for a few moments, ■ our attention having been arrested by the busy scene presented within, and were shown, by its enterpiising proprietor, the written decision of Judea Donlop, riven on the 29th day of last August, in which the claims of Mr. Spear for priority of invention are legally estab- Wished beyond a cavil. We deem it but proper to af* ford the public this information, as it is a matter in which the patrons ofMr. hpear. who are cow numbered by thousands in tins community, are all more or less in terested. Xhe efforts, therefore, which have been made to b: is the public m this matter, are hence more luely to redound to the benefit of Mr. Spear than to his dis advantage. For our own part, we have, of course, no other interest in the matter than that rigAt should tn ura;b. Mr. Spear, b> this invention,andahostofoth ers, for which be well deserves tSb thanks of the put lie, and is receiving it tn a substantial Way, has won for himself an enviable position among the most m cemous inventors of the day ; and it is therefore not to be wondered at that his laurels sroold be assaled by the misguided ambition of other*. Mr. Spear’a tnomph. by the legal document above referred to is, however,' clearly established. In the meantime, the immense de mand for hit stoves continues unabated, and we predict will while he continues to furnish the beet article inths, line now or ever heretofore offered m America.
