The New Orleans Delta has a lont; notice of Ihe death of McDonough, the millionaire, whose character appears lo be involved ( in , those strange contradictions which are usually , exhibited by men who make wealth the sole .object.of their existence at times astonish , ing people by their liberality, and again ex . hibiting the features of the most miserly tiip , gardliness. He appears to have devoted the best part of his time to labor, eighteen hours jn the day. His only assistance were some (-negro ' slaves, .whom he had educated and '. trained jo bis own habits of method und in , dustry. No white person lived in Ihe ancient , and dilapidated chateau in which he resided. . No person ever visited him, save on business , or for charity. His manners wero riyid, se vere and repelling. In the prosecution of his . rights, or in any relations of business, be f knew no pity, no liberality, no kindness, and was never moderated or softened ty any of , the considerations that ordinarily operate , upon mankind. And yet outside of his busi , ness and legal relations, he was not inseusi . bio to charitable appeals. He was frequently heard to declare that he lived only for the Lord to carry out tome great design of his . Maker; When asked if he would sell pro . perty, his invariable reply was H own none ..--what I tuvve acquired belongs lo the Lord; . I am his agent, without the power of selling." ,To his relations, who were quite, poor, he preserved a severe and studied coldness . only . relieving their .poverty by (he most meagre contributions. The Delta says : s , , Of enterprise, the spirit of public improve-, ment and progress, he was as destitute as the old planks bf hit house were of sap. Ovvir ' ing immense properly in the city, he loft the greater part of it entirely unimproved, until . hia possessions became a great noisanee to the corporation. When induced to build, he tT would only erect the roughest and most un- seemly buildings, usually put op by his slaves, r who brought the bricks -with which they were made aorost Ihe river. Many of these buildings are now eyesores in our city, ten ' antless and dangerous from their delapidated condition. So too of his immense property ' in the country. But email portion of it was ' itf eultivation. He Usually bought tracts of ' land by leagues and miles, instead of acres -1 He wat said loewn fifty miles fronting on Ibe Mississippi, in Louisiana. Four fifths of the 31 swamp land In the State belonged to him. ' He had, too, immense possessions in Honda ! Mississippi, and Texas. The area of hit pro ;1; perty would equal that of one of the tma 1 Stales of the Union, and would exceed that of eerersl of the Kingdoms or Principalities ef Kurope. The preservation and administra tion of this immense property mutt have re quired a vast deal of labor, and great admin istrative talents. These lr. McDonough posested.

The present being court week, when a number of our friends had to be attended to, which with a press of ad vertising, prevents us giving our readers this week the usual quantity of editorial and other matter. rU"CofRT Wei:k. The November term of our court commenced on Monday last, which brought together the first few days a goodlv number of people. There was considerable business on the criminal cal ender,, and our new district Attorney, Charles A. Kutz, Esni, had ample stock to commence business upon. Our new Cpun ty Commissioner, Christian Albert, Esq., has also entered upon the discharge of his duties and will make a good officer. Mr. Young the new Deputy Surveyor, was also in attendance. i WRITTEN HANDBILLS. It seems strange, yet it is nevertheless true, that there are many persons who yet continue to advertise their vendues and public sales by written notices. Such per sons are about as far behind the limes as the man who would attempt to take his wheat to Philadelphia or Baltimore, with his own team, simply because he- would have to pay a small sum as toll and freight on the canal or rail-road. , A printed hand bill strikes the sight at once, and literally speaking, we may say "he whq rum may read" while nine out ol every ten cannot read, even a legible hand,! withoqt some trouble. There never was a better illustrat ion bf the "penny wise and pound foolish" system, than these Written advertisements. We have, known a number of instances where certain articles which were much in demand were unnecessarily sacrificed by this false idea of economy. One more bid der may make s difference that would pay the printer ten times over. ' " -' Auctioneers and business men under stand all this and fail not to profit by it.' : "' Snow.

The Coal Trade is now quite brisk, and we presume the Messrs. Fegley'l have quite as much as they can attend to in supplying the demand. The facilities are not such as the importance ol the trade de mands. During the past . week we have heard the ratling of the coal, in loading the boats at the wharf, as late as lOo'clock at niht. ' We trust the time will soon come when the track between this and Shamokin will be relaid with heavy iron rails, with business enough to warrant the use ol motive power. As soon as the con nection between this place and Pottsville is made, which we trust will be accomplish ed at no distant day, the Shamokin and Mahonoy coal regions will be more fully developed and rapidly advance in value. The' works in progress at Trevorlon in the Mahouoy region, has already had a good effect. In the town ol Shamokin, a year since, many houses were tenantless, now all are occupied. ' ELECTION SEWS. New Jersey. The democrats, have made almost a clean sweep of this Stale, on Wed nesday last, electing Dr. G. Fort, Gover nor, by a majority of nearly 5000. They have also elected four out of the five mem bers of Congress, being a gain of three. The Legislature is democratic on joint bal lot, which will secure a democratic U. S Senator, in place of W. L. Dayton, whig. New York. It is not certain who is elected Governor. The chances however, are in favor of Hunt, the whig candidate- Jn 0 cJty of New York tile whips have elected 3 out of the 4 congressmen. Seward abolition party are defeated. Tht ZF The Cincinnati papers have been making relative comparisons, based on the present census, between Ohio and New York. The North American thus introdu ces Pennsylvania as a rival : The principal city of Ihe Slate, Philadel phia, had a population, in 18-10, of 258.407. It can scarcely be doubted that it has now more than 4 50,000, it will of itself, perhaps, add a quarter of a million of citizens to tho new catalogue. ' The second city, Piltsburgt with its suburbs, had, in 1840; a population of about 40,000. It has now about 80.000 Its third city, Lancaster, had in 1840, a total population of 8,417 souls. It has now over .16.000 Its fourth city, Reading, had, m 1"i population of 8410 sonls. It has, by the present census, 15,821. We subjoin a few other lown: Towns. Ceiisui IMO.

' The census of one of tho wildest and not most rapidly improveing sections of the ' Stale Pike county, shows the following result: In 1840 the population was 3,832; it is now $,916. increase 2,074, or more than 54 per cent. The population of Pennsylvania was, last year, estimated 2,250.000. It will probably show a considerable advance for the present year. Our Cincinnati friends claim 2,200,. 000 for Ohio. This would be a vast progress, but not an unnatural one for Ohio, in her cir cumstances. We hope she may realize it ami wa foel that we can indulge this hope without its being alloyed by any apprehen sion of the decline of Pennsylvania. Ths Mavos or Pittsbuhg. The Supreme Court at Pittsburg has decided against Mayor Barker, iu ihe case between him and the Councils, so that we may expect a cessation of his mad freaks." Gsn. Scott. The Whigs of Michigan, at their recent State Convention, adopted reso lutions in favor of Major General Winfield Scott as the Whig candidate of President in the canvass of 1852. f . . . .. . CANADA AMD THK FUGITIVE SLATES. 1 Our Canadian neighbors ere becoming alar med at the influx of negroes, flyinJt from the reach of the Fugitive Slave Law, lo the asy lum that hat been promised them in Her Majesty' American dominions. All along the frontier, they are arriving by tens, fifties, and hundreds. Many of them are penniless, and all stand in need of aid of tome kind, in establishing themselves In- their new borne, On would imagine' from ihe usual tone of the" English" people" arid "press", ;tbst these fugl tire ytould be received wit H open arms , by the subjects of Victoria, and that the perseou' ted blacks, who have excited o muoh British sympathy, and whose representatives in Eng- nam! have been lionized bv nobilily'snd feasted by aristocracy," would at once be welcomed as an invaluable aeqnistion to the Canadian population. Not so . however, The papers are already sounding the alarm, and are hinting at the necessily of establish ing a poll lax on all blacks from the United States. This is eminently British.. Nothing could be more characteristic of the revilers of America. England bns done more to encourage t lie" abolition ists and excite the nesroes to flight than any other nation. She has, in a measure, attained her object. The negroes are flying by thousands to the soil of the Bri tish empire, confident that they will be warmly welcomed, and that the kindness promised lo them will be cheerfully extended True to his instincts, John Bull turns the cold shoulder upon them. He finds he has over shot his mark. His true object was to disturb America, not lo receivo the surplus of her worst population ; and he must impose s pol tax to shelter himself from the danger his own hands have wrought. It will never do to open his doors to such a class as the flying negroes of the States. We shall see whether the Canadian government will sustain the inconsistencies of the Canadian people. We shall not be suprised if the nsylum of Canada is closed to the fugitives, and they are com pelled to lemnin in America, liable to be sent back to Ihe slavery they have been encoura. ged to fly from. IMPORTANT IttOM WASHINGTON. Washington, Nov. 4. The recent tumult it: Boston, and tho spirit of resistance to the laws, shown have at length delormined the President lo issue a Procla mat ion, which will be published in the course of a day or two. During the excitement in Philadelphia, Jud ges Crier and Kane addressed a letter to the Secratary of War, station that there wero good reasons for apprehending forcible resis tance lo the officers of the United Slates, in Ihe execution of the law and requesting that the uovernment troops might be ordered to assist and protect tho magistrates in the ilis- charee of their duty. The Secretary of War opened the letter to the President, and after a Cabinet consuls lion, the Executive determined that measures should be taken to enforce the law at ull ha.anls. Ho has drawn up an elaborate re ply to Judges Kane and Grier, in which assu ranee is given that officer of the Govern ment may count upon the fullest protection from Washington, in the discharge of t he i duties. Sigar Refining. One of our New York contemporaiies spake of a newly-invited pro cess for refining, or cleaninc sugar, which is about to be employed in one of the refining establishments of that city. The suenr, mix ed with molasses until it has a semi-fluid consistency, is thrown Into a revolving sieve, with meshes so close as lo confine the grains of sugar, while it permils ihe molasses to escape; and the sieve being revolver with piodigious velocity two thousand revolutions a minute the molasses is driven out by the centrifugal force, leaving the sugar behind, clear, white, and, it is said, perfectly dry, re sembling what is called refined brown sugar and needing but one more operation to eon? vert it into Ihe loaf. The sieve refines two hundred pounds at a time, and in short space, we are told, of two minutes. , Tub Iniiiman Thkataifnt or Soldiers at Fokt Constitution. The barbarous treatment received by certain United Slates soldiers at Fort Constitution, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, has been severely com mented upon by some of the Eastern papers. Their punishment for the rrim of declining to row a party of ladies, was '"That they be kept at hard labor by day, and in solitary confinement at night, for one year, without receiving pay or clothing, ex cept of the latter suoh as the commanding officer may deem indispensable; and that they each wear a 24-pound ball attached to their limbs by an ox-chain weighing some twelve pounds, and an iron collar upon their necks with seven iron points of seven inches in length, resembling a spike, attached to it, and weighing seven or eiht pounds." We are are glad to learn from the Ports mouth (Vuenctliat as soon as this inhuman sentence was made known lo Gen. Scott, he immediately ordered its modification by the removal of the iron collars.

This tbwn is located in a saline valley, nine hundred and eighty-four feet about the level of the Baltic sea. Last June the boring had reached a depth of eigh teen hundred and thirty-seven feet and seve ral layers of sail, separated by strata of gran ile, had been traveised, when carbonic acid gas, followed again by granite, was found. Finally, on the I2ih ull , at a depth of two thousand and sixty seven feet, perseverance Was rewarded by complete success. A vin lent explosion burst away Ihe scaffolding built to facilitate the operations, anda column of water four and a half inches in diameter spouted ' forth to the height of ninety-eight fuet above Ihe surface. The water clear as crystal is of a temperature of sixty-six Fab rcnheil, and is abundantly charged with salt It is calculated that. the annual product will be upwards of 6,600,000 lbs.! per aonum, in creasing the royal revenues by 300,000 flur 'ins. after deducting all expenses.

This most remarkable people, under their prophet -Strang, have made vast improvements on Beaver Island, iu Lake Michigan. . They number about six hundred, and each man holds from 40 to 160 acres of land as an everlasting inheritance. Beaver Islands have the best inland fishery in the Union, and the best natural harbor on the lakes. They have two sail vessels of their own, and are building a wharf for pass ing steamers lo stop at.- Garden Island, six miles square, is one of the richest and most beautiful islands on Ihe face of the earth. The Big Beaver is six by fourteen miles in extent. Several beautiful, well timbered is lands surround tho Big Beaver; each about six miles square. , Wesee. however, that dissen sions have broken oul among them.

Strang is charged with robbing the gen tiles, as he calls all who do not acknowledge his law, of provision and such other goods and chattels as the Saints require. Admits pro. mises to expose the wicked practice of Strang and his followers Strang has been arrested, taken to Mackinac, where he was tried and sentenced to six months' imprisonment in the county jail.

Ou Thursday last a wager was entered on by John Gardiner and Thomas Fox, ' that Ihe latter could not haul a York wagon,' weighing 3074 pounds, to New Cusile in an hour and thirty m inutes. If he succeed ed, he was to have the wagon, and if he failed, he was to forfeit its value, A number of bets were mada on the result, and one gentleman lost near $150. Mr. F. left the bridge at nine o'clock, accompanied by a number of our citizens, and reached New Castle in an hour and ten minutes the distance being five miles and a half..
