The fight between Hyer. and Sullivan look
place last eveninp, about fita o'clock, on Rock
i'olnt, in Rent county, ten mile below Pool's
Inland. There we're but sixteen rounds
fought, occupying Iwetitjr-one minutes. Sulli-,
Tan had the advantage ori the first three
rounds, and knocked Hyer down on the third
round, which was the only leveller that oc
curred. The blow inflicted was a severo one
in the neck. Hyer drew the first blood from
Sullivan, and on'ih'e fifteenth round wrenched
his ri?ht arm. Both of Hyer's eyes were
bruised, and Sullivan's right eye wns terribly
hurt. Hyer, on the sixteenth round, caught
Sullivan's head under his arm and punished
him until ho was satUfwd that he wns done
for, and then dropped him. Sullivan was
then forcibly taken from the ring by his
friends, his face prcfcnting the afpedranct of
a butcher' blocl; Hyer claiming the victory,
as he did not come up again in lime. It was
terribly cold, and both suffered from it. ns
well as from the race they had from the au
thorities during the day. Tha struggle was
nearly one continued light.
There were but fuw spectators to witness
the brutal exhibition. There is ft dispute
between the judges and referees, but thero
seems to be no dispute as to the fact that
Hyer was too much for Sullivan.
Soon after the parties Vft the ground, Hyer
proceeded to Frenchtown in his boat. He is
not much disfigured about the face, except
the disfiguration of his right eye.
The steamboat Boston, with the military on
board, is still ashore on Pool's Island.

Seconds Sullivan not Expected to live!
Baltimokk, Feb. 8 A. M.
This shameful affair is settled, despite the
efforts of tin? polie.o to the contrary. Hyer
and Sullivan having been tracked to and sun
prispd at Pools Island by h large police force,
h"nded by the sherilT, succeeded in bniHina
the officers nnd went to Puck Point, which is
about twelve miles below, on trw Eastern
Shnra of !afyla'nd. Tito ground was se
lected by the Seconds, and at a few minutes
after 4 o'clock all the arrangements were
completed, and the two men stepped into the
ring ready for action each confident of his
srperinr powers.
Sullivan was over sanguine and wasted his
strength in expectation of making a short
fght of it. During the first ono or two rounds
he struck some tremendous blows, but they
did not seem to tell. On the third round he
made a slisht feint and fetched Hyer a heavy
blow on thrc left temple, which laid him flat.
In an instant Hyer rallied with much de
termination, strikinff Sullivan over the niaz
zard and throwing him on the ropes. He re
covered before he foil, and as he came up he
got a blow between the two eves which shut
the left one. This disconcerted him ami he
becan to fail Uyer perceiving tlii kept him
up to quick time, dealing heavy blows about
his head.
On the Inst round Sullivan came up slow ly,
evidently bewildered, and received a blow
on the face which lifted him entirely off his
feet. He fell to the ground, striking his head
severely, like a sack of sand, and was picked
np by his second in a state of insensibility
and completely blinded with blood ! Resto
ratives were applied, and in a few minutes
the parlies left in their boat. Sullivan had to
be carried off by his friends. Hyer left for
Frenchtown. He did not appear to be much
hurt, though his fiice was covered with blood.
What may appear amusing, the owner of
the ground on liicli the fight took place had
left homo on the previous day to go to Balti
more to see tho sport.
Discovery or a New Mountain Pass. A

It. B. MASSER, Editor and Proprietor.
Persons indebted to the office of the Ameri
can up to April 1848, are notified to mnks final
settlement with H. B. Masser, in whoso hands the
books of tha Into firm arc left for collection.
KF Removal. We have removed our
oflice to the white frame building, recently
occupied by Dr. J. B. Masser in Market
Street nearly opposite the Tost Oflice,
where vc shall be happy to see all our
friends' and patrons, and as many new sub
scribers as can conveniently enter, single
file, between this and next Christinas.
The first room below will be occupied
as a law and editc r al oTice, 'rom whence
we shall endeavor to dispense legal, as well
as political opinions, that will be satisfacto
ry we trust, to the candid and liberal mind
ed of all parlies, especially to the winning
party.
rX7" Ot it New Sicn. Having removed
our oflice, we have thought proper to pro
cure a new sign, with the portrait of Frank
lin, the distinguished representative ol the
art in this country, in the centre. On
the back ground is a Printing Press the
Pennsylvania Coat of Arms a Globe
Telescope books, inkstand, &c. The de
sign is a good one and has been well exe
cuted by the artist, Mr. Ilillen of New Mer
lin. We trust the "outward sign will
prove a token of good works within," and
become profitable, pecuniarily as well as
otherwise, to ourselves as well as our rea
ders and patrons.
03?" The Superintendent of the Common
Schools, at the request .ol the Legislature
has reported the amount due to certain
non-accepting school districts, on the first
day oi November 1S45. The whole amount
due the different non-accepting districts in
the State is 297,772 85.
We find the following sums due the non
accepting districts iji this County, viz :
Coal (South) $108,92
Jackson 1,923,30
Little Mahonoy 451,97
Upper do 2,S38,10
Lower do 2,794,20
SS,176,49
This now amounts to a handsome sum
and would be sufficient to build a number
of excellent school houses if the districts
could manage to get possession of it.
Ol'R SETVATOn ATV'D TIIK ERIE AND OHIO
RAIL ROAD.
It is with feelings of regret and mortifi
cation that we are obliged to refer" to the
course of Robert M. Frick, our Senator, in
relation to this important improvement.
Our readers will recollect, that in opposing
the election of Mr. Frick, we stated that
there were important improvements, in
which we were interested, that required
the services of a capable and experienced
Senator. We referred at the time to the
Railroad from this place to Ilarrisburg to
connect with the road from that place to
York, now in progress, which would con
nect us with Baltimore by Railroad. This
once accomplished, the railroad toPottsville
would soon follow. After which the great
Railroad project from this place to Erie
would not long slumber. Although we
were aware that Mr. Frick could not aid
us in accomplishing these important mea
sures, we did not expect that he would di
rectly oppose them, b-y lending himself to
that huge corporation, the mia-callcd Cen
tral Rail Road, that has been brought into
existence to ruin our n.cin line of canal,
and thus increase the state taxes of our
already over burdened citizens. This cor
poration and its friends, having refused to
secure the immense trade of the lakes, by a
road to Erie, have gdt up a bill to reptal a
law, authorising the people of Erie to make
a road Westward into Ohio; and in favor
of this wicked and most unrighteous bill,
Mr. Frick has voted, in opposition to nine,
teen-twentieths of his constituents, at least
from Northumberland County. But proba
bly Mr. Frick does not consider himself a
Representative for this county. They
know that Erie is probably the most impor
tant harbor on the Lake, and that it is enti
tled by every sense of justice to an oullet for
its trade. Philadelphia, though unwilling
toVcure this great trade herself, is deter
mined that no one else shall, and insists on
tho repeal of this bill, because New York
will be benefited. Can any thing be more
unjust. The Senator from Erie, Mr. Pall
says they are determined to make the road, (route, will be 144 miles
1 - - - - - 1 nnA ll.nl rnt -vf U ..III "l -1 ' . I. .An
repeal or no repeat, ana mat one oi us cm
lens, worth two and a half millions, will
devote nearly the whole of his means to the
work. Let it be done, and Philadelphia
will find that after wasting her energies in
the Central Road, she must muke the Sun
bury and Erie rood in self-defence. Hun
dreds of patriotic Whigs who voted with
reluctance for Robert M. Frick, on the
grounds of electing eU, S. Senator, will
regret that they aided in electing a Senator
to misrepresent us.

C?" Thb Prize Fight. The cities of
New York Philadelphia and Baltimore,
have been, during the last week, laboring
under great degree of excitement. The
fight that came off between Yankee Sulli
van, and Tom Hyer, both celebrated
pugilists from New York, had for a time,
completely eclipsed the California Gold
mania. Yankee Sullivan ii an Irishman
who r.ver was whipped before. Hyer is
an American, a most powerful and athletic
man. Though Sullivan had more science,
as it is termed, he was no match, for the
powerful and active frame of the American
pugilist. In another column our readers
will find an account of the fight. The Go
vernor of Maryland has made a requisition
for the arrest of the parlies concerned in
this disgraceful transaction. Hyer has been
arrested and taken to Baltimore. Sullivan
made his escape down one pair of stairs as
the officer was going up another, in h;s
tayern at New York.

tions for the removal of our office, we have

MIE HILL AMD Bfll. HAVEN R. R. COM.
r.isv,
We have received the 20lh Annual Report
of this Company, and glean from it the fol
lowing: The tonnngo of the Road for 184.?, was
609,350 05 tons, being an increase over the
former year of 25,739 tons.
Tho amount received for tolls and motive
power was $144,123 79 cts.
The whole tonnage of the road fiom the
opening, has been, 4.345,199 15 tons.
The Company have 9 Locomotives of the
larger class for transporting Coal, and a small
engine for a Passenger Train, which runs
daily between Schuylkill Haven, Mincr&yille
and Tremont.
The Company are making the necessary
arrangements to change a portion of the loca
tion of tho Road so as to avoid the short and
dangerous curves w hich exir-t at present.
Some of the grades have also been lessened,
and rendered more uniform.
The Company decline accepting at present,
tjie law passed at last session, authorizing
them to increase their capital and extend the
road from Coal Ciislle, to lho town of Shamo
kin ; because the rates to be charged for tolls
and motive power, to which they are limited
in said bill, their present experience satisfies
them,' is not sufficient to authorize the ex
penditure and ulso, because the state of the
money market is Mich, that the necessary
sum required, (about 51,100.000) cannot be
raised, and under no circumstances could it
be obtuiiied under the provisions of the act in
question.
Tho Company, however, caused a survey
of the route to Shamokin to be mndo during
last year, by Solomon W. Roberts, Esq
This Report is accompanied by a map of the
route, nnd is appended to the Report of tho
Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Company.
Fiom this Report, we make the following
extract :
'Th distance from the present termini
of yonr road to the Cup at Ahlnud, is 131
miles by our route, and 1 estimate the cost of
ihe roafl, for this distance, completed with a
double traeV of heavy edge rails nvt wi'h
he requisite machinery at the inclined planes,
at S5CC,000. This includes thb erossir g of
that formidable barrier, ihfi broad Mountain,
and would advantageously open the M.dionoy
Field at Ashland.
From the point of commencement nenr
Coal Castle, to Shamokin, the distance is 25
4-10 miles, and I estimate ihe cost of eomple
linn that connection at 81,040,000. The dis-
tanee from Sunbury to Philadelphia, by this
Considering tho great importance of the
line, I think that it should -be graded and
bridged for a double track J but, by laying
down a single track for a part of the distance
in the first instanoe, a 'reduction may be made
in the first outlay, of S9500 for each mile of
double track omitted. To complete, ready
for use, a good double track connection be
tween Coal Castle and both Shamokin and
Ahlaud, may fairly be estimated at eleven
hundred thousand dollars."
The engineer stales tliat the adoption of
the planes would be the best plan al pre
sent, for the mere accommodations of the
Coal Tra lo and other traffic of the Coal Re
gion but as toon as the road should.be ex
.V.ftdfiJfWi dTrHvr a jjcnernl thorough
fare, the plaint can be avoided by extending
its length about 7 miles around the base of
eilzingers mountain, with no heavier grades
then are encountered on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which have proved to be no
serious obstacle to the passage of locomotives.
The same act has again been introduced
into the Legislature, by parties interested in
its completion, with some amendments but
we are authorised to state that the Mine Hill
and Schuylkill Haven Railroad Company has
no agency in its introduction nor are they
advocating or opposing its pnssHge. Should
an act be passed with such provisions which
would warrent thn raising of the money, they
may be induced to accept it, nnd comply wbh
Ihe anxious desires of their fellow citizens in
opening a communication with thu Susque
hanna. Tho act of last session wns not in
troduced into the Legislature by this Compa
ny, nor was it advocatod by them. They,
however, felt it a duty they owed to the pub
lic to have the route investigated, and at con
siderable expense procured tho services of
Solomon W. Rubers, Eq., on experienced
engineer, with several assistants, to make tho
necessary exploration of the route, from
whose report an extract is inserted above.
This report shows the entire feasibility of
tho route, but it satisfied the company that
Ihe rates of toll which this act authorised
them to charge, wero inadeqnnlo lo compen
sate for the heavy expenditure which would
be required to construct the road, and lo carry
Ihe trado of the region north of' the Broad
mountain, over an ascending grade to the
summit.

DfAn Sms r We have had a singular ses
sion this day: Not much was done, but a
great ileal said much, indeed, that hail bet
ter have been left unsaid. The bill to re
peal the Ohio and nnd E ie Railroad, was
Ihe topic, of the day, nnd Philadel hia and
Erie shivered lances against each oilier in a
most furious tilt. Immediately after the
lending of ihe Journal, Mr. Swarlzweldcr, of
Pittsburg, moved to suspend 'he orders of the
day for the pnrpos? of taking up the bill to
repeal the charter of th" Erie and Ohio Rail
road. The yeas and nays were called upon
this, and resulted 68 yens to 13 nns.
Mr. Ball, of Erie, then took the floor, and
in a most deliberate, emph.it e, and solemn
manner, entered his protest ngaiest the re
peal. He warned the House of the probable
consequences. He declared, lhat lei the ac
tion of ihe Legislature be what it miyht, the
Railroad would nevertheless be made. The
people of Erie county had pledged them
selves to each other, to stand shoulder to
shoulder and purse to purse, nnd complete
this impiovenient. They conceived they had
the right, and they would exercise the right
to make the road, on their own soil and with
their own money, and not all the power of
tho Legislature nor of the Stale could prevent
it. They were ready to abide all the conse
quences ready to resist, if needs be, any
effort to compel them to desist from carrying
into eiTect the law now about to be in such
hot haste repealed. It might be lhat citizens
of thu Commonwealth, from other sections)
would be sent among them to force compli
ance with lliis mandate of Philadelphia and
the Central Railroad. But the people of Erie
county bad made iheir determination, and
would be ready to meet the issue in any
shape it might be presented. They were a
quiet, sober, law-abiding community such
was their known character and deep would
be the responsibility of those who forced
I hem to assume any other character, by thus
trampling upon their rights, and sacrificing
ihem, not to the preservation of the interests
of the State, but to local, vectional, and rival
prosperity.
Mr. MeCalmonl follow ed on the same side.
He deprecated the manner in w hich the bill
was being hurried I h rough the House j be
fore it was even printed, and members had
an oppoilunity of examining it, or the bill it
proposed to lepeal He spoke of Ihe inter
ests of the Noithwesteru section of ihe Stale
as having continually met lho opposition of
Philadelphia, and alluded with alarm to the
growing influence of tho Central Railroad
Corporation, for Ihe benefit of which mam
moth monopoly there wus danger thai ihe
interests of every section of the State would
be successively sacrificed.
Mr. Swartzwelder said that in making his
motion ho had not expected to start so violent
a discticsion.
Mr. Smith, went into a recapitulation of
the arguments in favor of the rt p al ; but as
they have already been so often given iu the
Philadelphia press during the discussion in
the Senate, I shall not repeat (hem.
Mr. MrCalmonl made some further obser
vations in opposition lo ihe rt penl; and wns
then followed by Mr. Ball in a speech
"against time," occupying over an hour anil
a half, in opposition to the repeal. It wns an
Oild medley, and varied most liuly "from
grave to gay, fiom lively to severe." He
saitl a great many good things and some very
dull ones. H was very severe on Philadel
phia, and especially upon Philadelphia borers,
one of whom he characterized as "Ihe spec
tacles of the Central Iiuilrond." He dipped
into the Bible, talked about ihn Indian wars,
excoriated Mr. Tyson for saying that "Erie
was Ihe gate of the Lakes, and the gate must
be kept closed," Mid that Philadelphia
thought Erie the chimney lop of Pennsylva
nia a kind of devil's play ground, &c.
Mr. Ball talked until tho hour of one arri
ved, u hen the Committee of the Whole roe,
and on the question, "cluill the corrmittee
have leave to sil again V tho yeas v. ere 39,
the nays 48.
The friends of repeal votcdae, and those
opposed voted nay. This is too close for
comfort. Five votes of a change would de
feat the repeal.
The friends of the North Branch have no
rlispcoitinn to vbHndvn lb nrignal bill 'for its
completion. It will be urged through) with
out regard to the bill for the bank loan of two
millions. The North Branch is able to stand
upon its own merits, and there-is no occasion
to link it with any other measure.
Thb Battles in Mexico. A writer in the
Charleston Courier draws a variety of com
parisons as to the numbers, relative strong h,
losses, &., of the opposing parties in the bat
tles of the Mexican War. If we compare lh"
loss with the numbers engaged in the dif
ferent battles, he says tho numbers will stand
thus:
In the bnttlo of Molina del Rev, '
Worth's loss was 1 for every 4
Taylor's loss at Buena Vista 1 " 7
Scott's loss at Cerro Gordo 1 " 20
" at Cherubusco & Contreras 1 " 8
in battles Sept 12, 13, & 14 1 " 7
At those of Palo Alto, Retaca
and Monterey, about 1 " J2
Another view is presented, in the compa
rison of the American with tho Mexican
force:
Taylor, at Rueua Visln, fought 1 to 4
Taylor, Palo Alto and Resaea 1 " 3
Taylor, nt Monterey, fought 2 " 2i
Scott, nt Cerro Gordo, foucht 1 " 2
Scott, at Churubusco and Contreras 1 " 4
Worth, at Molina 1 " 4
Scott, on the 12lh, 13th and 14th,
estimated 1 " t
Another comparison is to be found in the
position. In all ihe battles, except Palo Alto
and Bnena Vista, the Americans were the as
saulling party, and the Mexicans had choice
of position, nnd ihere is no instance w here
the mosl experienced General could have
chosen better. This strength of position vns
more the occasion of the immense loss nt Mo
lina, than the great disproportion in numbers.

THE GOLUOMETER OR GOLD SEEKER'S
GUIDE !
Siirnnr TJ'Alvcar has rust arrived t.t New York
from the Gold regions of Cal fjrnia, by way cf
I ana ma, Lliapres, and INew (Tenns, bringing
with hitn a very larsc quantity of field ore, valued
nl nearly one million of Dollars, which ho collec
ted there, Ioiir lietorc the existence of the tiold
mines In ramo known to tho re ii!cnts cf California
generally.
HISTORY OF THE DISCOVERY!
Wirnnr D'Alveur went out to California near'y
two years osi, in consequence of eertiiin informa
tion wlrch he had received of the rrcolosical char
;te'cr of that country, with the ft m belief that vast
mines of precious mctnt would be revealed there
upon .careful invcsticatioii. He was eneoilrapred
to this enterprise, also by his conllden e in the
powers of a certain Magnetic instrument which be
had invented, called "Goldometer," by whose aid
he expected to be directed nt once to the "Gold
Placers." if any such cxi'tcd. Nor were his ex
pectations ilii.'.i)HMiitrl. His sc:en ific c.ilculiilioii
proved tube found in truth and profound wisdom,
nnd his new instrument, the "Goltlometer," fulfil
led his liishcst hopes. In less than two months
after reachimj California, lie struck upon one of
the' richest gold mines in that country, upon an
obscure branch of tho Sacralo river in a gortro o
hills extremely ro l;ey nnd dirlicu't of access, nnd
seldom visited by the native Cnlifoniinns. Dis
guising his object under the pretence of purely
scientific research, he obtained the ni.l of some fif
teen or twenty simple nnd faithful Indians, and
steadily pursued his task, eolle. ting often more
than $2,t:u0 worth of gold in n single day. which
he contented inn deep ravine, without exciting any
suspicion whatever, until after the discovery of
gold nt Captain Sutter's Mill, when the mountains
were ransacked by gold seeker, and Nignor D'Al
vcar's "irold placer," the richest in all Cnlifornin,
wns beset with greedy adventurers. It is now
found that the real mines or sources of the gold,
lie in the gor es of the moiiuttiins. and not in the
beds or sum's of the rivers. Previous to leaving
California. Signer D'.Mvear sold hffi instrument,
the (ioKlome'er. a very imcrfcct cue, for lji3,00().
Tl e person who purchased it confidently espected
to make u handsome fortune, by simply finding
"gold placer" nnd selling out the rivjlit of digging
to the ir Id workers,

of tiUtiKroi.s s( ieu'ifc ticntlemen has commenced
the ma' ufac ture of bis new Magnetic Instrument,
the Co'domcicr. wM, h be now oilers for sa'e, in

This new work, nnd the Goldometer, nre bolh
now icady for sale.
The Goltlometer is so simple an instrument,
that a child may learn to ojiorate with it in five
minutes. It is not affected by elimute, moisture,
or uny other known cause, (except the natural
magnet .) and Will retain it power of pointing out
mineral riches in the earth for any number of
years. By the aid ol'tbe Guide any person may
use the instrument nt nnce with perfect surcess.
FARMKKs AND LAND OWNERS.
Farmers and Land Owners throughout the I'ni
ted State, who have reason to suspect the exis
tence of any kind of Mineral riches upon their
hinds, should avail themselves of this opportunity
to test that fact, by the surest of all known tests,
before the abundance of discoveries in nil p.xrts of
the country shall have lessened this source of
wealth in their estate.
ADVENTURERS TO CALIFORNIA.
Person going to California cannot make a bet
ter investment than by purchasing one of these
instruments which will not only bo worth fifty
time its value there, to ell again, but will lie of
inestimable worth to those who go in search of
Gold, as has been proved by the most abundant
experiment both in California and the United Stute
TESTIMONIALS.
Signor D'Alvear doe not doe not deem it ne
cessary to encumber this notice with a long list of
testimonials, in proof of the value of hi GOLD
OMETER and GOLD SEEKER'S GUIDE. The
brilliant result of h: l iltor in California, and the
discovery, this very week, of fresh vein of Gold
in Virginia, ond beds of Coal in Rhotlo Is'aud, by
it use, tire alone snliicient to stamp it as the greatest
discovery of the age. Nothing hut tho extreme
chea ncs of the instrument, and his desire to see
it used for the benefit of mankind induces him to
dispose of it at the low price of which ho oiler it.
Besides this, hi own desiro for wealth is nearly
sntisfacficd.
The following Testimonials, in proof of the
value of the Goltlometer, selected from a great
nunilcr equally satisfactory, must sufiice for the
suffice for the present :

The undersigned, having this day wilhcsacd
tho practical operation of Signor Jose DcAlvear's
newly invented magnetic instrument, the Gnr.n

extraordinary power of deserting Mineral ore hid

doubt that it will prove invaluable aid in the dis
covery of the Mineral resource of tho United
State and the world.
