Thc Washington correspondent of the

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.

We neglected to notice until now, that
this well known Hotel has been complete
ly renewed inside and out. Those who
have looked for nearly a half century, on
the old red frame, now find a handsome
white building. In the interior they will
find new floors, new doors, and rooms and
chambers newly papered. The table, and
interior arrangements, needed no improve
ments, as Mr. Weaver has, in this respect,
no superior in northern Pennsylvania.
His stabling has also been repaired and en

Dkeadfcf Accidnt. lielhlehtm, Nov
20. 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

MOVEMENTS AdAIJIST CIBA.
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."
We do no, believe that the Pierce admin
istration will be more disposed to any unlaw
ful movement against Cuba, than Mb. Fill-

Among Ihe wonderful discoveries or inven
tions ending in "graph," the Pantograph
seems destined to take no second part. 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. This remarkable
invention has been patented by Mr. Searby,
Acting on the principle of the slide rest, or
floating bed, and directed by the Pantograph,
tho machine is moved wilh such facility and
exactness in all the directions of the cubs,
under a fixed tool or tools, that it is capable
of producing, in culling, carving, or engrav
ing, a fac simile of almost any thing present'
cd lo il operation. The enumeration of air
Iho purposes to which this strange piece of
mechanism is applicable, would exhaust im
agination. Tho hardest substances olTer no
impediment to its powers. In stone or mar'
ble, in ivory or wood, in pearl or melal, it
can turn out copies of any shape you please '
and, by a principle of easy adjustment, on' at
scale as much larger or smaller than the orig'
inal as may be desired. It will engrave
seals to a pattern ; turn out an exact copy of
the Mediccan Venus, or the Gicek Slave,'

letter-press piinler, execute monumental ta

easiest and lest pretending.
The utiliiy of the mnchiue may be infer
red fiom it applicability in the single de

manufacture of Sheffield alone employs four
hundred hands, who make, on an average,
fifteen handles each a day, or 36,000 a week:,
which, one penny per handle, would return

pany's machines, managed by a man and a
boy, will piuduce 300 handles n day from
