SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL. MOVEMENTS 9T OMEHiti TAYXOH. lilt Retirement treat MUltarr Service. . The Southern mail of yesterday brines us additional account of the movements of Gen. Taylor, President elect of i tho United States, lie left Baton Rouge on Wednesday evening, 111 Mth ult., on the steamer Princess, for liis plantation, where he would remain until the Slat, when he would leave fotf Vicksbsrg, on board the steamer which was to convey him to Nashville, reaching Vicksburg that night. He would be accompanied by quite a num ber of friends, among them Mr. Benjumhi, one of the Louisiana electors; the lion. Bai ley Peyton, Wm L. Hodge, the able editor of the Buffer in ; M r. Van Allen, of N e w York, nd Maj. Garrett of the army. Stopping a few hours at Memphis he would proceed to Nashville, and thence via Louisville, Cincin nati, Frankfort, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore, to Washington, where he hopes to arrive about the 20th instant. The N. 0. Picayune of the 2fth ultimo, publishes the fol lowing order, announcing tho final withdraw al of Gen. Taylor from the military service of the Country. Though called to higher and more responsible duties, ve can readily con ceive, says the Piesyttne, the pain it has cost him to sunder his connection with the army. It is more than lorty years since he received his commission from President Jefferson as lieutenant of the 7th Infantry. Never was a military career more perfect in its propor tions. In each grade of the service, he won honorable distinction, and the crowning glory , of his military life was not achieved until af ter he had attained by brilliant deeds, the highest military rank known to our laws. Then the people took him up, and they have placed hi in in a position to devclope the great capacities of his nature on the grandest thca tre of action. The quulities of his mind are ' of the heroic sort, which adapt men for mo menlous issues. No shade of distrust disturbs our anticipations that the civil career of Gen. Taylor will confer new splendors upon him' I self and his country. 1 Ass't Adj't Gen's Office, West. Div., . Baton Rouge, Jan. 25, 1849 ' ' orders mo. 1. Having received official notice of the ac ceptance of his resignation, Maj. Gen. Tay lor relinquishes the command of the Western Division, which, in conformity with "General Orders" No. I, will be assumed by Maj. Gen Gaines. ' In resigning his command to the veteran and distinguished chief appointed to succeed him, the General cannot withhold an expres- sion of his regret at his separation from a ser vice to which he is attached by so many pleasing and prond associations. To the ofii cers and men who have served his immedi ate orders, ha would here express his parting thanks for their zealous and cordial support in the execution of the duties confided to him during a long and eventful service.

The American publishes a list of 28 passengers in the first Cabin, and 110 in the second. Among the list of passengers in the first Cabin, will be found the names of our young friends Lieut. Wm. J. Martin nd Edward M. Hall, who left thii place few week ago, lor this new land of prom ise. For California. According to announce ment, the ship Xylon punctually left this port at ten o'clock on Saturday morning, a bright sky over head, andvwith a delightful breeze The utmost care has been taken in regard to fitting her out to secure the comfort of the passengers, the whole arrangements being under the immediate direction ot Messrs. John Henderson & Co., ship's agents. We understand from some of the friends who re turned in the steamer that accompanied her down the river, that harmony and the most pleasant social feeling prevailed on board the ship, and that every thing went off well. The Xylon carries out to the ''Land ot rrom ise" one hundred and forty passengers, tbe largest number by far that has left this port. The cargo is a very valuable one, her mani fest measuring over 22 feet in length. The freight and passage money amoiThts to over $36,000, the highest figure reached by any vessel that has ever left Baltimore. The fol lowing are the names of the passengers of the FIRST CABIN.

On the morning of the 23d ult., the citizens of Baton Rouge assembled for the puiposo of paying their respects to Gen, Taj lor, previous . to his departure for Washington, to assume the duties of President of the United States. : The correspondent of the Pioayiine says the ; procession formed at 1 1 o'clock, and proceed ed te tbe residence of Ge'n. Taylor, who re ceived his visiters with his nsual kindness of manner, and an animated conversation ensu ed, mainly confined to matters of personal interest, such as usually takes place between neighbors and intimate friends. After having 1 partaken of some refreshments, the General was, at the instance of many present, addres sed "by J- B- Thorpe, Esq., in the following 1 language: "General 1 have been deputed by your fellow citizens to bid you their adieus on 'this interesting occasion. It is with painful emotions that they have assembled to say farewell. In parting with you, nothing re conciles them to their loss, except the full knowledge that you are needed by your coun try elsewhere. Believe me, General, when 1 say, that you will leave behind you in Ba ton Rouge, a united community of personal . friends, every member of which, young and eld, joins in a heartfelt prayer that you and your family may, in your future home, be blessed with long life, continued health and unbounded prosperity." To which Gen. Taylor, with much emo tion, replied in tbe following words: "Gentlemen, 1 assure you it js with feel ings of no ordinary character, that 1 meet with my fellow-citizens on this occasion. many of whom I have been associated with for more than a quarter of a century. Had 1 . consulted my own wishes, 1 should have much preferred to retain the ofliue I am how abou. to vacate, and lmv remained among you ; but the people have, without my solicitation, seen fit to elevate me to another, and although I fear I am not qualified to discharge the ' great and important duties imposed upon me, yet be assured, fellow-citizens, I shall endea vor to fulfil them without regard to fear, fa. - vor or affection for any one. "Permit me, my friends, at parting, to in oke tSod'it blessing upon you all, and may He grant that you and your families may enjoy . long me tr.i, prosperity- Farewell." The general' delivered the above address with unusual' feeling, and it was responded to in a truly heartfelt manner by many eray haired citizens, who have for so many years Dean his menus and neighbors. Or. Tarter Faadlr. The family of Geu. Taylor, accompanied by CjI. Bliss and lady,, arrived in New Or ' leans on the 26th, from Baton Rouge, and would proceed to Washington in few days by the Southern route. The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society has been lately holding a convention at Faneuil Hall, and adjourned on Friday week. Among other resolutions they adopted one declaring that "the one great object to be attempted and . achieved is the immediate dittvlutio of the The Gold Mania. The rage for the California gold region still continues. Vessel after vessel is leaving at the differ ent ports, and a large number are adverti sed for sailing soon. That nine tenths will reap disappointment instead of a fortune, we have no doubt. This has ever been the case, as all history proves, and if California should prove an exception, it will be the only one the worl has produced. It is estimated that in a very short time fifty thousand persons will be in California in search of fortunes. If we allot only ten thousand dollars to each one, the aggregate would amount to 600 millions, which is 50 millions more than the estimated gold and silver of the whole world. Jos. J. Sargent, .

The result of Secretary Walker's ad val orem system is beautifully exemplified in the prostration of nearly all our Iron Works. In Danville, of the numerous works, but one furnace is in operation, and that will the line extending from the Lackawanna riv er to the northern boundary ef Pennsylvania, a distance of 94 miles, had detached sections upon it completed, amounting in the aggre gate to 324 miles, and upon the remaining distance, 61 miles, more or less work has been done upon almost every mile. The dimensions of this canal correspond with the other State Canals below it, having a width of 28 feet on the bottom ; 40 feet at the surface, ond 4 feet deep of water. The locks are 90 feet long by 17 feet wide in the chamber ; and the lockage from the mouth of the Lackawanna to the State line averages but little over ten feet to the mile ! Its capa city, when completed, would therefore beam- pie to pass one million of tons each way, per aimum. i he cslwmea cost oi me various uo- scriptions of work yet remaining to be done, is $1,106,037. This amount is contemplated for a permanent and useful work dispensing with all ornament and only providing for what is necessary to make it substantial. This completed, and we could at the very least supply with coal without possible com petition from any quarter all the country west of TJtica, inclusive, comprising a geographi cal area of more than one half of the State of New York. There being no duty on this description of coal in Canada, it would be in troduced there, and find its way, through the Welland Canal, upon all the upper lakes. It is estimated by the friends of the Extension that when completed, Wyoming coal can be delivered at Buffalo for $5,i0 per Ion, and at Oswego, on Lake Ontario, for SS ; paying at these prices a better profit than it now sells in the Atlantio cities. The Salt Works of New York alone would probably consume at once 75,000 tons per year. There is now consumed at Syracuse and other salt villages, not less than 400 cords of wood per day ; and it ;9 brought, in some cases, a distance of 20 or 30 miles. It is a fair estimate, that the very first year after the completion of the Canal, not less stances were alluded to and animadverted upon. ' M.i " '. ' Mr. Niles replied. He said that if a som erset had been made, it had been made by the other party. Parties sometimes lout sight of their most cherished principles; but his conscience did not accuse him of tergiversa tion in the matter. As for the gentleman from Ohio, he (Mr. Niles) accused him of the feat which had been attributed to himself. Not only had Mr. Allen made a somerset on the tariff question, but he had done so at E ecutive dictation. There was a further discussion between these gentleman, in which frequent allnsion was made to alleged political inconsistencies Mr. Pearce was opposed to the free circula tion of newspapers. He thought that the in terests of the public would not be advanced by such a measure. He was in favor of a low uniform rate of postage for newspapers.

But he nev er wrote a more truthful or pointed saying. tlur.'i ine following : "Never answer s calumniator. If you will only give s rattlesnake time enough, he will hits him self, and die of his own venom." We have clipped the above from the Bradford Reporter, and would ask the edi tor if he thinks the "saying" applicable to editors of newspapers. If so, how will he reconcile it with his unjustifiable and un provoked abuse of Gen. Cameron. The General no doubt is of Mr. Lippard's opin ion, as he never permits these squibs to dis turb his equanimity. The great influx of iron from England, un der the ruinous prices there, t the cause, and no one but a knave or a dunce would presume to de;,y it. In 1846 under the tariff qi 1842, the imports of pig iron were 13,918 tons, which in 1847 under the ef fects of the tariff of 1846 increased to 44, 993 tons, and in 1848 to 90,245 tons, or more than half the entire exports of Eng land to the whole world. The entire ex ports of England in 1846 were 119,100 tons; in 1S4S, 162,151 tons. Thus, while the exports of English iron to other coun tries, in two years, has been decreased 33, 000 tons, the export to this country have 1 CC AAA . XT .L. ueeu miicarcu vu,vuw iuiib. i.uw iuc re Suit of all this must be, that our iron works must stop; our home markets be depressed; our canal tolls decreased, and our State taxes increased to make up the deficiency. A Whlj Rtflrctrd Tie ia the Hmue. Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 6. At the special election in Clinton county, Ohio, the Whig candidate has been re-elected to the Legislature. This ties parties in the House. 02r The address of the Convention of a portion of Southern members, in relation to the subject of slavery, is now published in pamphlet form. It is written by John C. Calhoun, and is signed by only a portion of the Southern members ol Congress, many of them refusing to give their sanction to the dangerous and peculiar doctrines of such men as Mr. Calhoun, threatening disunion in case their demands are not complied with. IT?" Woman's Curiosity. Much has been said and written about woman's curi osity, but we were not aware, until recent ly, that there had been a judicial decision upon the subject, judge wared it seems has assumed tbe fearful responsibility, and in a legal'opinion recently given, remarked in substance, that, "If a man had been guilty of listening at a key hole, he would be in clined to suspect kit integrity but that woman's natural curiosity would render it in her txeuifblt." . 1 EF"' Tius Ice Business. According to a writer in the Philadelphia Ledger, the num. ber of ice houses above the dam on the Schuylkill ia 20, varying, in capacity, from 500 to 5,000 tons each. Ine amount of ice secured this season, is estimated at 60r 000 tonn The cost oft bouse capable of holdintr 5.000 tons if about $5,000. The time consumed in filling such a house, nearly three weeks, with fifty hands per day, besides several horses. Tht cost may therefore be estimated, allowing the bands ft per day, at 91000, or 20 cents per ton, This we presume is nearly the expense at this place. , ; ttJ-Col. John W. Geary of the 2d Penna.

The resolution were read by the Clerk. The resolutions being, before the House, Mr. Stephens made a lengthy speech. -He believed, he said, in the existence of this pro tocol, and in case it was not produced upon this call of the House, he would move for the appointment of a Committee, with power to send for persons and papers. . Mr. Houston, of Alabama, followed, reply' ing to Mr. Stephens' remarks with considers' ble warmth. He alluded to the letter written by Mr- Buchanan to the Mexican Govern ment on the subject, and said that the letter was similiar in its tenor to the protocol. Here Mr. Houston wss interrupted (on leave) and interrogated by Messrs. Stephens and Toombs. Mr. Houston resumed his remarks in de fence of the President. He said that the Pre' sident had been assailed by the gentleman from Georgia in such language which could inflict no possible injury upon the President) but it was language of that kind which is not used by one gentleman when speaking of an other on the floor of that House.
