SUNBUHY AME1UUAII AINU SMAMUKlfl JUUJWAL,. tFwm th Washington luteMgencer, guturday LETTER FROM THE PRESIDKST-MR. LAW AND THE CRESCENT CITS, - Tbe President hat thought proper lo make P'iblio the subjoined Letter to the Collector of New York, in reply to one addressed to him personally by that officer. Like every thing from the pun of the President, it i dP reel and explicit, and leaves Mr. Law, the Owner of lha steamer Crescent City, no room to mistake his own duty as a citizen, or the President's determination to maiutaln the su premacy of our laws as well as our interna tfonal obligations. To his plain admonitions the President kindly adds some wholesome advice lo Mr. Law, which we doubt not will hare the effect to restrain him from the im prudent steps which he intimated it lo be his iiUenlion to lake in regard to the difficulty in which he has unnecessarily involved him self with the Cuban au'.hoiities. Washington, November 12, 1852. Hon. Hvgh Maxwell, New Yoik City:- Your note of yesterday came to hand this morning, in which you slate a conversation you have had with Mr. George Law, from which you learned that the "Crescent City will go to Cuba and enter the port of Havana in defiance of the Spanish authority ; and, if fired upon, she will be surrendered, and that then he and others will immediately com mence hostilities against tho island." You say, also, that "he desires to know whether be is right in persisting in Ihe pursuit of his lawful business and that if the Government shall tell liim he must not go, he will not ro. If, however, the Government says nothing gainst his going, he will inter he has a right to go. .You say also, that "he professes to be friendly lo me and my Administration." Of Ihe sincerity of thin latter profession one can best judge by teaJing his letter of Ihe 9th, published in th'J New York Herald of the JOth inst. But, in regard u the chief matters of your letter, permit me to say, that, in the fust place, 1 do not admit the right of Mr. Law, or any other citizen, to threaten war on his own account, for the purpose of seeking re dress for real or imaginary injuries, and then (o call upon the Government to say whether it approves or disproves of such conduct, and assumes its approbation unless the act is for bidden. The Constitution of the United States has vested in Congress alone the pow er of declaring war, and neither the Execu tive branch of the Government nor Mr. Law has any right to usurp that power by com mencing a war without its authority ; and if tie shall attempt it, it will be my duty, as it is my determination, lo exert all tho power confided to the Executive Government by the Constitution and Laws to prevent it. I am resolved, at every hazard, to maintain eur rights in this controversy as against Spain, and I am equally resolved that no act of our own citizens shall be permitted to place this Government in the wiong. Mr. Law has an undoubted right to pursue his lawful business; but when a question is raised between this Government and a for eign nation as to whether the business which he pursues is lawful, or pursued in a lawful wanner, the decision of that question belongs to the two Governments, and not him. If the object be to assert' his right to enter ibe port of Havana with such persons as he may choose to select, in defiance of the laws and Government of Spain, he has certainly done enough to present that question for the deci sion of the Governments of Spain and the United States; and the negotiation has al ready commenced, and our rights, at we un derstand them, havo been asserted, and, as I said beforo, will bo maintained. But the act of this Government cannot be controlled by the interference of any individual, and it is entirely unnecessary that Mr. Law should repeat these attempts for Ihe purpose of sett ling this controvert)1 ; and if he wilfully does so, and in so doing viulatesthe laws of a for eign nation within its own jurisdiction, and thereby loses or forfeits bis vessel, he can ex. peel no iudemnity for such an act of fully from this Government. We regulate the terms and conditions upon which all foreign vessels shall enter our ports, and wo fix the penalties for a violation of our laws, and tho right to do so we shall never suffer lo be questioned by foreigners, and we do not question theirs to do Ihe same thing. He must wail the result of the nego tiations between the two Governments. This is a question not to be settled between him and Cuba, nor even between ihe United Slates and Cuba, but between the United States and Spain, which alune is responsible for the conduct of the Governor of Cuba.

Dr. Goel is now engaged in extending hit telegraph wires from Northumberland to Selinsgrove, a distance of 7 miles. The posts are all up, and we understand the wire, will be put up this week. This will be a great convenience to our Selinsgrove neighbors, who are extensively engaged in mercantile business. From Selinsgrove, tho line is, we understand, to be extended to Harrisburg,. by January next. This, we think, is a mistaken policy, inasmuch there will be, ere long, a line extended from this place to Harrisburg on this side, along the Susquehanna Rail Road. Telegraphs are now considered a necessary adjunct to rail roads, to enable them to work them safely. Had this line been extended on this side to Harrisburg, Selinsgrove and other stations could easily have been supplied by stretch ing a line over the river. A it is, we shall in a few years have two lines, one on each side of the river, from this to Harrisburg. The business on Ihe rail road between this and Poltsville, will also require telegraphic facilities when the road is completed, and a line will, no doubt, be extended along the route, which will make the shortest line between this and Philadelphia.

The season for cold weather is fast ap proaching, Already we have had a nun ber of white frosts. Winter is alwavs a season of suffering and distress with the poor, especially in cities and towns. With those who have an abundance to render themselves comlorlable, it may sometimes be unpleasant and inconvenient; they should, therefore, be the more ready to ex tend unto their less fortunate fellow beings, the open hand of charity. We, however, of the country, can hardly form an idea of the extent of suffering and distress that is prevalent in large cities, during the winter season. PHILADELPHIA AND SUNBURY RAILROAD. The Miners' Journal speaking ol the ex tension of the Mine Hill Road to Ashland, refers to the road from this place, to meet it, as being under contract only to a point four miles beyond Shamokin. This is in correct. The whole road is under contract from this place to Ashland, and will be gra ded to that place by next fall, but the con tract is, to have the road finished to tho point alluded to, lour miles above Shamo kin, by next May. TWO BROTHERS IN CONGRESS. The eleotion to Congress of the two Wash- burns, one from Illinois and the other from Maine, is spoken of by some of our coloni poraries as something remarkable ; and yet it is by no means the first instance of two brothers being at the same lime members of that body. Messrs. Joseph R. and C. J. In gersoll, two brothers, served in Congress for one or two terms, the former representing the Whig city of Philadelphia, and being one of the ablest Whigs in Congress, while the latter represented a Locofoco district, and was, perhaps, the ablest man on his side of the House. We know of other inslanres, but know of none where they differed in political senti ments, and acled with opposite parties. P. P. Barbour of Virginia was a member of the House during the same lime that his brother James was a member of the Senate from the sanio State. John A. King of New York, and James G King of New Jersey, two sons of Ruftis Kin?, and both very able men and good and true Whigs, served together in the last Congress. So did, some years ago, Mo ses II. Grinnell of New Yoik, and Joseph Grinnell of Massachusetts, both prominent whig and able membcts. In the present Congress there are Iwo brothers, Frederick P. Stanton of Tennessep, and Richard Stanlon from Kentucky, both active and able mem bers and out and out Democrats. We havo no doubt many other instances could be found if seairhed for. There is an instance at this time of father and son being members of the same body. Henry Dodge of Wisconsin, at present U. S. Senator from that Stale, is tho father of A C. Dodge, the U. S. Senator from lowa.--- They weie also in tho House at Ihe same lime as Delegates from their respective Ter ritories. Of the two Harbours referred to, a cotom porary relates the following anecdote No two men could be more unlike than tli3 brothers Kaibonr. They both possessed a good deal of talent, were thoroughly educa ted, and both obtained a great official distinc tion Philip was chosen Speaker of the Na tional House of Representative, and at the time of his death was a Justice of tho Su preme Court of Ihe United Slates. James was successively a member of the two Houses of Congret-s, Sectclary of War, and Minister to England. Philip was of a meia- scarce, and enhanced the wages of work.

The price of iron lias advanced much beyond its actual value. This will, no doubt, greatly stimulate the trade and man ufacture of the article, but it is a ruinous and bad business. If the tarifron iron had been specific, or, what would, perhaps, be better, on the "sliding scale" principle, it would work more advantageously for all concerned. While iron was selling in England, at $15 per ton, the duty at 30 per cent, was only $4,50. Now when the price is nearly doubled, the price is still further increased by a duty of about $9, when the duty should be nominally noth ing. Why not adopt a "sliding scale" by which the duty is diminished as the price increases, and vice versa? While Ameri can manufacturers are gettinj up new es tablishments, the British Iron Masters are reaping fortunes. When the Americana are ready to manufacture, the price will go down, so as to render it here a loosing business our British rivals, having, in the mean time, made enough by extra high prices, to keep going at low rates, until an- otlier rise shall occur. Cut we do not believe that iron will ever come down as low as it has been. The discovery ol gold in Cali fornia, but more particularly in Australia, will put a new face upon things. The emigration from England to Australia lias already rendered laborers comparatively Australian Gold at thc Mint. A few days ago a deposite was made at the United Slates Alint of gold from Australia, the first, we believe that has been receive there. The depositor was a young man of this coun try, who had been in California for two years, but was unlucky and made nothing. Tempt ed by the reports from Australia he tailed for that country and went to ihe diggings. In two months he succeeded, by great good luck, in getting about five thousund dollars worth of dust. With this "bird in hand" he conoluded to oome home, and deposite a por tion of his earnings, as we have slated. The gold is superior in richness to that from Cali fornia, being worth about two dollars more to the ounce. Phila. Bulletin. Mrs. Harriet Bccchf.r Stowe is about to commerce the publication, in the National Lra, the Abolitionist paper, at Washington, of a new story, called "Mark Sutherland ; or Power and Principle."

Mr. Taggart, we know, was able, energetic and untiring, in his efforts, and it was no fault of his, that the re;ull was not different. The News says, that though unsuccessful, he has established fur himself the character ol an honest and straightforward working Whig, and has claims upon the party which we hope will, at a proper time, be appre ciated and requited. The Lycoming Gazette in refering to our article on the improvements of our town, says that '-Sunbury having reduced lethargy and inactivity to a science, has at last waked up."
