We are gratified in being able to state that a new stage line has been established by Mr. Conrad Kershner, of this place, be tween Pottsville and Shamokin. This line commenced operationi a few weeks since, and is' now running daily between the above placet. A comfortable two horte coach leave Mt. Carmel for Shamokin im mediately on the arrival of the Pottsville stage, and will return next day from Sham okin, so as to meet the Pottsville stage go ing down. The proprietors will also ran n daily line, on or before April next, from Shamo kin toTrevorlon. In the meantime private conveyances will always be kept in readi ness at Shamokin. This line will be a great convenience to those who desire to visit our Coal region, as well as to many others. POSTAGE REFORM THE COUNTRY PRE, The newspapers, both city and country we are glad to see are urging the necessity of Postage reform in regard to Country newspapers. The Post Master General's recommendations will never be carried through Congress, unless there is provision made for the fiee circulation of papers for thirty miles, or within the Congressional district. This will be insisted on as a sine 1 nun inn tiv olmnd iprv roiinlrv mpmher.

If the public lands are to be voted away as they are, in some measure, every year, by those too who have always opposed a general dis tribution of the proceeds, there is no rea son why Pennsylvania should not come in for her just share. Without the internal improvements made by Pennsylvania and New York, these lands in many instances, would be almost worthless. EF Printing fxx. A few kegs for sale for cash at this office.

' DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR j; . The report of the Secretary of the Interior is an elaborate document, presenting a full exhibit of the condition and operations of the new department and the multifarious inter ests of the Land service, Indian affairs, the Pension office, &c, &c, over which it has charge. The estimates for the various brnnches of the public service within its jurisdiction, for the approaching year, reach the lar;:e amount of $7,132,013 47; being an excess over the estimates for current year of S 1,728,670 63 Thef increase arises principally from the en larged expense of Indian affairs and the pen sion list ; for which the estimatesare, respect ively, 81,441,472 66 and S2.644.726 31. " The number of claims for warrants under the late bounty land law, up to Nov. 5th, was 9,418, and it is rapidly increasin;:. The whole number of persons who, it living, would be entitled to the benefit of the law, the Secretary says, would exceed half a mil ion ; and he estimates that the number of claimants will be about 250.000. Of the public lands there were disposed of 5,184,410 91 acres; of which 1,320, 802 77 were sold, and 3,40S. 520.00 located on boun ty land warrants. For the three quarters of 1850, the quantity disposed of lias been 2, 815, 306.42 acres; R69.0S2.32 sold, and 1, 520,120.00 located on warrants. ' The Secretary urges the importance of a national highway to the Pacific, within oui own territory, from the valley of the Missis sippi to tho western coaM, and the necessity of obtaining full and accurate information as to the shortest and best route, having refer, ence not only to distance, but also to the soil, climate, and adaptation to agricultural pur poses of the intermediate country. He renews the recommendation of hi.i pre. decessor for ihe estnblishmniii of an Agricultu ral bureau ; and advises the insliliiliou of a mo del farm at Mount Vernon, "whose soil was once tilled by the hands and is now conse crated by the dust of the father of his Coun try." REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF WAR. The aggregated streuglii of ihe aimy as at present established by law, is 12,326 oilicers and men. It is estimated that the number of men actually in tteivice and fa for duty, from deaths, discharges, desertions, sickness, and other casualties, falls short of the legal organ, ization on an average- of from 30 to 40 per cent ; so that the number would represent an effective foice of only from 7,400 to 8,700 men. Of the whole number, 7,706 are sla. tioned in or are under orders for Texas, New Mexico, California, and Oregon; leaving only 4,530 iu all the rest of the States and Territo. ries. The Secretary urges the necessity of em ploying a calvary force to curb the mounted Indians of Texas and New Mexico; and sug gested the adoption of some system, dictated equally by policy uud humanity, for reclaim- ing the whole unfortunate race, by inducii.g them to abandon the wandering and preda tory life, to live in villages, and resort to ag ricultural pursuits for subsislance. The stale, ment of the enormous cost of transporting pork and flour tor the use of the troops'in New Mexico, afford a strong evidence of Ihe benefit which the republic would derive, in s mere pecuniary light, from restoring peace and security to the herdsman and husband of S territory, ,:a large poition of which issus ceptible of producing crops of grain, and neat, ly all of which is well adapted to grazing." ceplions.

Washington, Dee. 9. There was quite a triumph in the House of order and law, in the calm, quite and sum mary manner in w liich Giddings was jmi tlown with hisniilificntinn speech. The que. tiou was on referring lhe President's message to the appropriate committees, when Mr. Gid dings, of Ohio, (abolitionist per e,) obtained the floor The object of Mr. Giddings was lo produce a protracted debate, which would have ena bled him and his friend lo attack le admin istration ami the friends of the compromise) but in this he was signally foiled Mr-.Brown of Indiana; moved lhat the committee lise, and when Ihe House should again go into committee, that the general debate on the message close in five minutes. . This was amended to on miuiiie, Bud carried by a tri umphant mnjoriiy ; and by the aid of this timely manoeuvre the whole message, which has often been debated fur a month, was at once referred to Ihe nppiopriate rommilleps. This is certainly a most excellent sign. We may have a little skirmishing at the two ends of the lever, but here in the fulcrum every thing looks like a quiet, harmonious session. 1 doubt much whether, if h bill be introduced for the repeal of the fugilive slave act, it will receive more than forty votes; in no case will it receive more than sixty. The Whigs have eilher lo toe Ihe maik of the administration, or be henceforth considered us its enemies. The majority of the Senate hnve come lo the resolution to lay all the abolition pelilions on the table, and to refer till petitions to repeal the Fugilive Slave Bill, without debate, to the Committee on the Judiciary, where no doubt they will not be disturbed for, the remainder of the session. Daniel Webst.-r, as Secretary of State ha) in obedience to instructions received by the President, addressed a letter lo Governor Sea- brook of South Carolina, from which much good may be expected in the present moment. The letter is mild uud respectful lo the Go vernor, yet firm, conciliatory wiihont, surren dering lhe right of the United Slates. Mr. Webster concedes to the Governor all lhe rihl belonzinu to him ns chief magistrate of a free and independent Slalp, but reminds dim. if 1 mistake not, of lhe duties hich Ihe Consli lotion imposes on the President, nnd which Mr Fillmore would feel bound lo fulfil. The letter I Delieve ha been sent tu Columbia) South Carolina. A similar letter will perhaps be addressed lo lhe Governor of Vermont, should he bpcomn obslrepernns. Let us hope that reason will yet prevail over dissatisfac tion ami fanaticism. Obsebvbr. THE DESTRUCTION OP THB HOSPITAL AT AUGUSTA. Boston, Dee. 6, 1 850. A telegraph icdespach, dated Augusta, N.
