There is no doubt that it will be at least eiitial to twenty millions. It is more confi dently asserted than ever that the Secretary will recommend that the surplus be devoted lo the purchase of U. S. stocks. The in flu ence of the Administration will be used for this end. The Democrats are coming into power with a cry of currency and retrech ment. Mr. Benton says the expenditures fruist be reduced one half. Thus no party ,can resist the proposition to lake the surplus .revenue for the payment of public debts. iOne argument in favor of buying ihe U. S. stock, even at tho present high maikct rates is that. the money might otherwise be thrown away or mis-tpent. , Another is, that it is better lo pay twenty or thirty per cent, pre" jnium than to pay interest till 1807 " , BlRDtRYAKD EltlE RAIL ROAD' The importance of the construction of the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road is be- ... IFL cominfl every day more evident. m New Yorkers are using every f ffort to get possesion of every avenue leading from the Lakes to IheAllantic. There is, how ever, one route, the "Sunbury and Erlo," which ' will -defy competition from any quarter. Of this they are well aware, and are determined to tap it, by means of the Catlawissa road, which they now control, nnd which they talk of extending to WU- liamsport, under the- vain delusion that the Sunbury and Erie road will stop at that place. There never was a gt eater folly than the supposition that the Catlawissa route, with heavy grades and hih bridges, over a broken and mountainous country, could ever compete with the Susquehanna route, with a regular descending grade along the river of less than three feet to the mile. But to shew the necessity of the early com pletion of this work, we refer to the com pletion of the Lake Shore rail road, com pleted only a few weeks since. There is iuw a continuous railroad from Cleveland to Dunkiik, along the slioivs ol Lake Erie, and numerous branches connect ing th Buffalo and Albany and Erie and New York Rail roads, and also connecting Pittsburg with Cleveland. A traveller can now breakfast in Cincinnati, dine at Columbus, nup at Cleveland, breakfast the following morning nt Dunkirk, and reach New York at 12 o'clock at night a dis tance of 870 miles in 12 hours, at an ex pense of $17 50. The income of the New York and Erie Rail road has fr.r "Xceeded the expecta tions of the stockholders say 370,000 dol lars per month, and it is believed that when the second track, now being laid, is finished, the gross receipts will reach half a million of dollars per month, or six mil lions per year, on a cost of thirty millions.

A sad accident occurred here this af ternoon. Preparations were making for a itoich-light procession this evening, in honor of Ihe recent Democratio triumph, and as several men were engaged in firing a salute with cannon, a-prematore explosion took place, injuring two persons in a most shock ing manner. Juha Roth had both of hi arms shot away, and his eyes blown from their sockets ; and another man, named Win. Bush, Jr., had ene of his arms lorn off, nd bit face badly cut and burned. The former cannot possibly survive, but it is thought the latter may recover. The torch-light procession wa, in conse quence of this acciJe .t, pot'poncd. IMPROVEMENTS. The different rail roads now in progress, and in contemplation, radiating from this place, has already given an impetus to im provements, and enhanced the value of property. There is already a considerable demand lor houses, and yet there ore but few for rent. Twenty or thirty new build ings, that we know of, are already pro- jeciea, ana we presume many others will be erected during the summer. Town lots have risen in value, in some particular ca ses, nearly one hundred per cent, and our greatest fear is, that owners of property may blindly hold on, and refuse to sell at (air prices, and thus prevent improvements that would, in the end, more than make up for the difference, in the increased val ue of real estate, generally. This should be guarded against, and we trust that no one, who possesses property, will refuse to fell at a fair or full price, unless ha himself intends to improve it, or is in want of it for his own purposes. The Scott farm at the upper end of the borough, containing 140 acres, was told a few days since for twelve thousand dollars. Tbii may be considered a high price, but the land is ex cellent and the location most desirable. K7 The Packets ceased ' running be tween Harrisburg and Williatnsport, about ten days since. They have been doing a fine business, but their harvest is nearly over. One season more and they will be limited in their operations, from this place to Williamsport, and should the Suiibury and Erie road progress rapidly, even' this portion of the line will be displaced." '' CJ Mb. Folk's Proposition to Pur chase Ciua. The offer, it appears by the official papers just cone to light, was made on the President's own responsibility, and the sum fixed as a maximum was one hun dred millions of dollars. Nothins wos needed lo the success of this overture but a willingness on the part of Spain to part with this richest jewel of its crown. The proposition was promptly but courteously eclined. The documents which contained this correspondence, were sent to the House of Congress in reply to a specific call, but such was the indifference of that body, that this Presidential Message lay on the table for six or seven weeks without being open ed, and, when opened, it was, without any examination of its contents, ordered to be printed lor the use of the members. n7 Tamao.ua Gazette Our friend Rinehart has enlarged and considerably improved bis paper. Tamaqua can cer tainly afford to keep up one good paper Mount Eahle and Accukn Rail road. ine vlwer' Journal says tne con tractors on this road are advertising for hands to commence the grading immedi ately, and that the work will progress rap- ily to completion. Auburn is a point on the Reading and Pottsville Railroad be tween Schuylkill Haven and Port Clinton, and the road is to run from thence to Mount Eagle, which will form a complete connec tion with the Dauphin and Susquehanna Coal Company's Road, and thus with the Pennsylvania Railroad at a point about six miles above Harrubtir?. TUB CATTAWISSA RAILROAD. We learn on authority which is entirely reliable, that the Caltawissa Railroad Com pany have entered into contracts for the building of their road from Ihe town of Cat lawissa to Tamaqua, or within some five miles of that point, and that contracts have also been made for the construction of the toad from Tamaqua to Beaver Meadow. The funds necessary for ihe construction of both these links have been raised in New York, whete Ihe stock of tho Catlawissa Company is now mainly held, nnd the par ties who have taken tho contracts, we are informed, are entirely responsible for Ihe prompt progress and caily completion of the woik. The present object of iheso movements is doubtless twofold, the stock being principally held in New Yotk, one object is evidently to secure the coal trade of a portion of the Schuylkill fields to thai city, whilst tho oth er, doubtless looks to a conversion of the Lake trade lo be reached by Ihe Sunbury and Erie road. The Gap, from Eos' on to Beaver Meadow, wo are also informed, is now being occupied by the construction of a road, which, it is said, promises an eaily completion. TIim will give a continuous line, except the cross ing of the river at Euston, from New Yoik to Tamaqua, Caltawissa and Sunbury. In connection with ihese movements, it may b staled that tho principal pari of Ihe stock, and at least the controlling interest, in tho Williamsport ami Elmira toad, has, wilh in a few days, been transferred to the Catla. wissa Company, or to Ihe parties contiolliug il. These movements, when looked at togeth er, afford ample room for speculation as lo results, and indicate important bearings on various interests They sound, in our n pin ion, the dealhknell lo tha hopes of t:iliimore for obtaining tho Lake trade, or any portion ol it, by that route. The intention, nnd ihe reason of Baltimore for offering hor aid to the Susquehanna Com pany, was undoubtedly the hope of obtain ing the Lake trade, or a portion of il, throu the State of Pennsylvania. For this there wero two chances lirM, by the construction of the Susquehanna road, nnd the completion of the Williamsport and Elmira road, under the auspices of the same interests; and, sec ond, by tapping the Sunbury and Eiiu road at Williamsport or Sunbury, which also in volved the building of the Susquehanna toad lo either of those point. The scheme was a gnod and a bold one, I and as a business operation, it entitled our Southern neighbor lo much credit. A pail of this scheme is now most unquestionably i finstrated. for so far as any hope remaining I lo them of using the Williamsport and Elmi- ra road iB concerned, that must be destroyed by its conversion to the Catlawissa Company, who undoubtedly desire it as a feeder to their road. Baltimore, therefore, if she builds the Susquehanna Ruad, has but a single string to her bow, and can tuko trade from Ihe Sun bury and Eiio Road, only as the euttrptise. Or the want of it in Philadelphia may permit her; under these circumstances we very much question, if the hand of the Cm posi tion of Baltimore could now be withdrawn from the Susquehanna operation, if it would not be at onco done, suppose, which is en tirely a supposeable, case, that tho SuMiue' hanua Company is obliged to slop at Sunbu ry, and then suppoou the Sunbury and Eiie. Company, coming East from tho Luke, should decide on stopping at Williamsport, and Ihence Inking Ihe Catlawissa road via Tamaqua and Reading Roai! to Philadelphia, and what then becomes of the operation of Baltimore, and her effort to reach the Lakes through Pennsylvania. Gone, cone, as com pletely as '.hough the project had never en tered he; brain. , (Cr We publish ihe above from the Daily New s of Philadelphia, more as a matter of curiosity than for any news that it contains. The New Yorkers, no doubt, feel a gteal interest in the Catlawissa route, and would be exceedingly well pleased to see the Sunbury and Erie road terminate at Wil liamsport ; but that any Philadelphian should lavor such a measure, is, indeed, surprising. But it is rank nonsense to talk of such a measure. Nothing can prevent the speedy construction of the road along the Susquehanna, to Williatnsport, either by the Sunbury and Erie Company, or the Susquehanna Company. If the former does not, the latter most certainly will, and no engineer, who has any regard (or his reputation, would ever think of con structing the Caltawissa extension, over a rough broken country, as a rival to the Susouehanna route. We should be glad to see the Caltawissa, and all other contem plated roads, finished, but we have no fear ol its rivalry. Wilh the completion of the Philadelphia and Sunbury rail road the n i i. e. . t . susqtienanna roau itom sunoury to narris- burg and the Erie road from Sunbury to Erie, Philadelphia and Baltimore will both have as much as they can attend to, and in this way alone can they thwart the efforts of their New York rival. There is no truth whatever in the report that the El ml ra road has been transferred to the Catla' wissa Company. DEATH or EX.GOV ER NOR. SIIILTZ. On Friday last, John Andrew Shnllie died, In the city of Lancaster, having reached nearly the ago of eighty year. He was originally intended and for some time pur sued (he ministry, and in 1810 was a mem ber of the State Legislature from Lebanon county, before Dauphin was detached from it, and served in that capacity several years In 1832, he was elected to the State Senate. The Democratio patty, which had been dis organized by the rivalry between VV. Ilium Findlay and Joseph Hiester, in Ihe Guber natorial campaign of 1820, settled its differ ences by sending Findlay to the United States Senate in 1821, and nominating Mr, Shultz for Governor, he having been a sup porter of Mr. Ileisler. Mr. Shultz was eleO' led by over 25,000 majority over Andrew Grecz, and having been renominated in 182(5, was again elected, almost w ithout op position, though the Adams parly ran John Sergeant. In 1829, he was again a candidate but Isaac D. Barnard, then in the United States Senate, was his competitor before the Convention, and for harmony sake a new man, George Wolf, was taken up, who was elected over Joseph Ritner. Since: that pa riod, 'Mr. Shultz has not been in political life, though he was an elector for llariison in 1840, and presided over the Electoral College. When he retiie.l from office, he removed to Lycoming, where hi property became embarrassed, and since then he has lived with his relative in Lancaster. Mr. Shultz wa not a man of any great talent Ha owed his popularity lo tho strong Ger man counties of Beiks, Lan:nster and Leba non, all of which were strongly Democratic before the atili-masonio excitement. His administration of State affairs wa judicious and although he separated from his own parly associations when Gen. Jackson re moved the deposits fiom the United States Bank, and acted with tho Whigs, ha was always esteemed for his sterling worth and undoubted honesty of purpose. While he was Governor of this Stale, he tendered its courtesies to Lafayette during hi visit to 'litis country. But three retired Executives of this State, Ritner, Porter nnd Johnson, now survive.

The New York Timet says there is no loncer anv doubt that 'a very extensive dis- affection exists among the Creole inhabitant of Cuba. If next spring a force of five thou sand American volunteers can be lauded wilh artillery and supplies, ihe Spanish troops and foreign auxiliaries will be found Ihe sole supporters of Spanish interests. The Span- iards will arm as many of the slaves and free negroes a they can find arms for and it is staled that large supplies of refuse tower muskets ('hat is, rurplus Biiii,h mu-kets,) have been sent out lo provide for so fearftq a contingency. While this administration remains in power, the immense supply of United States muskets sold lo Georub Law, are pretty safe in tho store-houses of the government, but under its successors it is supposed that Mr. Law will find the means of withdrawing them, ard placing them al Ihe disposal of the liberating army. This is a reason for believing thai no invasion will be attempted before March or April next."

It is a cutting and carving machine, which works with amazing celerity, great precision and finish, and is applicable to innumerable pur poses of ornament and use.
