GREAT STRIKE AT BALTIMORE.
There is, at present, a great excitement
in Baltimore, in consequence of a strike
among the Engineers, Machinists, &c. in
the Machine shops, and on the rail roads,
running into Baltimore. Some of the em
ployers have yielded other resist.
No establishment, except those of Wells &
Miller, Ames & Green, Page & Co. and

workmen and given the prices asked. Ross

A PLACE IMDER GEM. PIERCE.
Some of our aspiring friends may thank us
for the following information, taken from a
Santa Fe letter, which shows what a perfect
sinecure the berth of Governor of New Mex
ico is. The hi-tory of the civil Governors
reads thus! "Colonel Perez was sent out
from the city of Mexico, as Governor of this
Territory, in 1837. From some trifling cause,
the people succeeded in raisings revolution
Ihe Pueble Indians joining i wjih ihem.!
The Governor was caught and put lo death ;
his body was stripped and shockingly man!
gled ; his head was carried as a trophy to the
camp of Ihe soldiers, and made a fool-ball of.
The Secretary of State, Jescs Mama Alaridi
called El Chico, was laken, stripped and
scourged, and his bo.ly pierced through and
through wilh lances. Don Saxtiaco Abren
another Governor, was butchered in a still
more barbarous manner. Hi hands were
cut otTj his eyes and tongue were pulled out
and shake. tauntingly in his face, and in this
most cruel manner he was murdered. Josr.
Gonzales was declared Governor soon after
Our friend, General Armijo, declared against
him, raised a force, defeated him at La Cana,
took him prisoner, and, without even ihe
form of a trial, shot him dead on Ihe spot.
Armijo look the reigns of Government into
his own hands, and held them until General
Kearney drove him cut of the country in
1846. Governor Bent, who was appointed
by Genrial Kearney, had not been in office
year when he was draggej from his bouse
jo Tags at midnight, and murdered by the
Mexicsot and Puebla Indians before his own
door in J'laza. Governor Calhoi n, the next
Governor, worn out by Ihe cares and anxie.
lies of his office, died cn bis way home to
Ihe States last summer. What is to bo the
fate of Governor Line remains to be seen.

THE BALTIMORE SUBSCRIPTION.
The bonds of the York and Cumberland

use of the Susquehanna Rail road company,
have been put into marke! and are advertis

We learn, by a letter from Baltimore,
that bids beyond that sum, have already
been put in, ranging from $10") to $108
for $100 stock, so that the Company will
receive, in premiums 630,000 or $40,000
over and above the par value of the bonds.
Active operations will be commenced im

MORE AID TO THE RrNBlKY AND ERIE
UAH. ROAD.
A bill was introduced into the Legisla
ture on Monday last, which legalises the
Lake Shore rail road, extending from lOrie
to the Western Stale line, which road was
made without authority of law, by the
Franklin Canal Company.
The bill provides amply and fully that
there shall be no discrimination in the rates
of lares for passengers or tiie charges for
freight which will operate in any way
against the" Sunbury and Erie road. Jt
provides also that the "Lake Shore" com
pany shall subscribe 100,000 dollars to
the Sunbury and Erie Company, which
shall be paid for as other subscription., and
that the same shall be inalienable forever,
unless in case of the insolvency or dissolu
tion of either company, and authorises an
increase of capital or issue of bonds to ena
ble them to make the subscrip'ions provi
ded for.
THE LATE FRESHET.
As some elderly ladies are said to be ex
ceedingly fond of gossip, so it may be said
that some editors are remarkably fond of
the marvellous, especially when it ministers
to prejudices, that are fanned into life by
every little breeze of scandal.
We trust that our neighbors and colem
poraries, who published such marvellous
statements, concerning the lale freshet, at
this place, are not obnoxious to such a
charge.
The Lewisburg Democrat, for instance,
gravely says, that "Sunbury was nearly al
together inundated. Much dama Te has
been don-, but we have not as yet, been
able to learn particulars." Whilst Col.
Best of the Danville intelligencer, most
oracularly informs his readers that "the
high water came up near to the Court
house, in Sunbury, and again admonished
many ol the inhabitants of the importance
ol building above high water mark."
Now, many of our readers will, nodoubt
be surprised to learn that not a .ingle house'
in Water street, fronting the river, was in
undated or reached by high water, and that
but two cellars in that street suflered from
it, and these by soakage. And further we
assure our friend of the Danvillelnlellircn
cer.that 8 or 10 feet more water would
still have left the Court house high and
dry. Along the Eastern boundryof ihe
Borough, the water inundated but tw0 hou
ses, and filled a few cellars. This was cau
sed by the water coming in above town
which will be prevented hereafter by an
tmbankmvnt projected several yearn since
and which should have been completed'
long ago. From what we have learned
Danville and Lewisburg have both suffered
more from ths flood than ourselves, trifling
' i that may have bevn.
SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMQK1N JOURNAL.
THE COUNTV BlBSCniPTIO TO TIIE SUS
QUEHANNA RAILROAD.
The question whether the Commissioners
have made the subscription of 200,000,
to the Susquehanna Railroad is no longer a
matter ol speculation or doubt. It is now
reduced to an absolute verily. The Balti
more papers say that the bonds are in the
hands of the Treasurer of Ihe Company,
and the Commissioners, themselves, have
removed the injunction of secresy. Some
appeared indignant on account of the sub
scription, others, brcattse it was not r!one,
as they say, openly. The bonds were
signed by Mr. Weaver and Mr. Wilson
and were executed shortly after the elec
tion, Mr. Albert, the other Commissioner
having refused to sign them. Mr. Weaver
says that he always was in favor of the
subscription, and believes the county will
be greatly benefitted without having one
cent to pay. There are two hundred bonds
of 1000, each wilh coupons attached,
having twenty years to run, bearing six
per cent interest, payable every six months.
Each bond has therefore, forty coupons at
tached, which we will stale for the benefit
of those who may not understand the term,
are certificates of interest. Coupon from
the French, means "cut oiT," one of which
is cut off" and presented every six months,
or when payment of interest is made.
There are, therefore, no less that eight thou
sand coupons attached to the two hundred
bonds, each one of which had to be attested
by the clerk. The "old Squire," no doubt,
was heartily tired of his name before he got
through. The. payment of interest com
mences in lS5i, after the road is completed
and in operation. The friends of the road
are confident that the county will never be
called on for a dollar, as the road they al
ledge, will pay six per cent from the start.
Our own opinion is, that after the Erie road
is completed, the bonds will be above par
and prove a scource of revenue to the
county.

REPORT OF TIIE SUNBURY AND ERIE
RAILROAD COMPANY.
At the annual meeting ol the Stockhol
ders at Philadelphia, on Monday last, the
Report of the Board of Directors was sub
milted. The report commences with a
Irstory of the Company, and the difficulties
surmounted, and refers to the excellence
of the Harbor at Erie, the western termi
nus of the road, and to the prospect of an
early completion of the great work.
The act ol 1S37, incorporating the Com
pany, limited the capital to 3,000,000,
wilh liberty to increase it to 0,000,000.
This increase, is recommended.
The eastern terminus of the road and ils
connections, is then alluded to. As our rea
ders are more particularly interested in
this, we copy it entire, together wilh the
election of officers, &.C.
EASTERN TERMINI'S AND CONNECTIONS.
The proper eastern terminus of our load
may be said to be Philadelphia ihe actual
eastern terminus is Sunbury. From Ihence,
roads in course of construction or under con
tractu, such as ihe Philadelphia and Sunbury
leriiiiiiuling wilh ils links on the Reading
Rail KuaJ, and the Susquehanna Rail Road,
leading to a point near Harrisburg, and
there connecting with the Pennsylvania Rail
fluad Coin pun), will enable this company lo
reach Philadelphia by competing routes, thus
prolecti: g us against ihe imposition of any
unfavorable terms. Besides these, there is
another mil road, viz : the Catawisi-a and
Williamsport, now in course of vigorous pro
secution, thus insuring to us by lis connec
tions through ihe liulo Schuylkill wilh Ihe
Reading Hail Road, a very eligible mode of
reahing Philadelphia- In order to transact
Ihe additional business which our rail road
is likely lo bring lo Ihe Reading Rail Road
Company, it will be necessary for that Com
pany to lay down additional tracks, and it is
probable that, wilh proper assurances that
such business, or a portion of il, will be se
cured to them, that Company will agr? e lo
have such tracks laid iu lima for us on the
completion of our road.
Besides I ties means of reaching Philadel
phia, there is yet anolher which will proba
bly commend itself to our attention. It is
understood that the East on and Water Gap
Road will make a branch to Allentown, at
which point a connection will be made with
a road that may be said to be an extension
of tho Catawissa nnd Williamsport road. It
is true, that this mode of reaching Philadel.
phia is, in many respects, less desirable
than that offered by some other roads, but it
will bo quite sufficient to insure us liberal
terms from these, and will afford another
means by which the city of Philadelphia
may be reached by un. Our Company
moreover, have, under a supplement to the
charier, passed last year, the right at any
time to extend its road from Sunbury to the
valley of the Schuylkill, and thence to con
nect with any road leading to Philadelphia,
and also have power, upon failure of Ihe
Susquehanna Rail Road Company to con
struct their road within a given lime, to ex
tend our road so as to unite with ihe Penn
sylvania Rail Rnail, near Ilariisburg.
While it may be injudicious to exercise
this power at tho present time, Ihe existence
of such right will always be sufficient to se
cure libera! terms from companies connect"
ing wilh lis. Though Ihe main object of the
Company should be to insure to Pennsylva
nia the chief benefits to be derived from Ihe
construction of this road, and lo make il
subservient to the prosperity nol only of her
metrnpoliM and of her Lake City, lint also lo
that of ihe wholo country which it may tra
verse, the Company should not hesitate lo
lake advantage of ihe superiority of its route
as carriers for Boston, New York and Balti
more. This road will, through its connec
tion with the Catawissa and roads leading tu
F.aston, and thence by Ihe Jersey central to
New York, present Ihe shortest, and in eve
ry respect most desirable route fiom thai
city lo ihe Lakes. So also n line of contem
plated rail loads, leading from Springfield,
Mass, lo Williamsport, Pe.vnsj Ivania, will
make thus far the shortest nnd best route
that can he devise, I, whereby Boston may
reach Lake Erie, or by a binnch from some
western point on our road, may reach the
south-western part of Ohio, io.
So also of Baltimore. By far tho shortest
and best, and most desirable route from
Lake Erie to thai city, is presented by this
road, and the Susquehanna road, conncc'.ii.,;
with it nt Sunbury. Resting, as our road
does, by means of its connections on these
four great cities, and having similar advan
tages in the west, and possessing, moreover,
an advanlage peculiar lo itself, perhaps, in
Ihe means for a large return fieighl in the
shape of coal, il will requiio nothing hula
liberal and enlightened policy lo secure lo
Ihe road that pre-eminence lo which its po
sition so justly entitles it.
CONSTRUCTION.
Shortly after the present President was
elected lo fill tho vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of his predecessor, il was de
termined by the Board nol lo commence any
part of the road until a subscription to the
stock of Ihe Company had beer, made sufli
ciently large to secure ihe completion of Ihe
wholo road. This resolution Ihey have been
obliged, in a measure, to depart from. Il
was some lime since communicated to litem
upon reliable authority, thai Ihe Catawissa
Company had given instructions to their en.
nineeis to survey a route directly from Cata.
wissa lo Williamsport, and llial certain par.
lies were in treaty (or the purchase of iho
charier of ihe road leading from Mauch
Chunk lo Eastnn, and in connection with
others, were endeavoring lo secure the
means of controlling the affairs of this Com
pany. Had this design succeeded, il is ea-y
to see how disastrous Ihe consequence would
have been to Philadelphia, in Ihus making it
the interest of the owners of the road, be
iween Mauch Chunk and Kastun, lo dis
criminate in favor of trade, and travel pas
sing by tho point of divergence lo Philadel
phia, and going over Iheir road on ils way
to New York. To defeat this obji'ct a con
tract was made wilh the Messrs. Mooiheadi
lo proceed at once to construct the road from
Sunbury to Williamsport, and Ihe fulfilment
of Ihe coutiact on the part of the Company
was guaranteed by four members of the
Board, and at the same time it was proposed
to the Catawissa Company to connect with
our road at or near Milton, a few miles above
Northumberland. The effect of this course
has been u II that was desired, The Cata
wUsa Company will, it is believed, conned
with us at Milton, ami thus Ihe entire free,
dom from discriminations, to the prejudice
of Philadelphia, will be forever effectually
secured.
In conclusion the Board recommended the
adoption of lha following Resolution :
Resolved, That the Capital Stock of Ihe
Company be increased to the amount of 6,
000,000. , By order of the Board of Managers.

Mr. T. Haskins Dupuy, the Chief Engi

in its construction.

purpose of going into the annual election

timately wilh Ihe lakes, by a union, opposite
Harrrislurg w ith our present lines termina
ting at that point. The subscriptions by Ihe
Pennsylvania counties have been liberal and
prompt, and it is to be hoped will meet with
the proper appreciation and reciprocity here.
In the first place, however, we learn that the
bonds of the York and Cumberland Railroad
company, lo the amount of $500,000, have
been duly accepted, and are in Ihe hands of
the Mayor of the city of Baltimore, to be
guarantied, the same to be applied to Ihe

Railroad company the bonds of the county to
ihe amount of 8200,000, in full for their sub
scription lo the stock of Ihe road, and in ad

THE BEAUTIFUL EIETII IJGT.
Where hath the radiance flown.
That gleamed within those lender mournful
eyes,
Now dimneil mid laded by the breath of
tears?
There was in olden time on that pale cluck
A blush as beautilul as smi.set clnmls,
Like thu liisl roso of summer but with a
L'llullelul lilil
Ami a moie va yiii;; glow.
But il liaili I'lts-cil away and left no trace,
Of its briitlil path of loveliness.
Who hath not heard a child's sweet music
In ugh
Echoing like fairy bells? Deep iu thy si-
lout heait
Dwell the fair spiiils of song.
Oil have they wakened with snfl melody
Fulling liom nnnial lips, and while iho air

Arrested a they'llnaled near Heaven's gate,
Now with Iho loveliest Inula ol Paradise
In beautilul imprisonment,
Amid the angel's soim is ever heaid
A sound of falling fountains, fott and clear
And w ith tho voice of Iho blight waters flow,
Comes the sweet ringing laugh of a glad

The little child goes forth alone to Heaven,
Ye cannot call her back for one caress,
Her brow still ppmmed w ith tears the last
kiss civen
They bear her from thee in Iipt lovpliness.
Oil. soirowing mother turn thy gze o:i high
There is a pitying Eye.
Through ihe daik swollen waleis of the
vale of de-tth,
Her gentlo feel have passed : ihe chillinr; air
From thai lone valley with its icy breath.
Hath blown among the cuils of her bright
hair.
The cypress touched her as she glided by,
And its leaves stirred with a sigh.
Another babe may lie upon thy breast,
Sad mother ! wilh its dark eyes risej to
thine,
And rosy lips to thine be fondly presl :
It will not be the same, thy heait will pine,
For one fond glance fiom those blue lender
eyes,
That smile in Paradise
And w hile the stars on high, iheir watch
are keeping,
Fair golden heads may bend round thee
in prayer,
And "he slight fingers of thy baby sleeping,
Be clasped in thine, but thy fond heart is
where
A childs cold hand through all the silent
hours,
CInspeih pale flowets.
The moonlight visits her in her calm sleep
Ofl hath she oer the dreamless slmnberer
spread,
A mantle of pule cold, and the stars wccd
Their tears of ilew upon her lowly bed,
as il ine storm spirit breathed lor her a
prayer
The snow fulls gentlier there
The wave that breaks upon Heaven's view
less shore
Now laves her little feet, and argel bands,
Press forth to bid her welcome, now no more
Shall cold winds touch her brow, her baby
hands
Ate filled with flowers, whose breath is rich
perfume,
That shall outlive the tomb.
Now she hath lasted Heaven's living water,
Now she hath beard ihe glorious melody,
Thou hast among I he spolles ones a daughter,
Oh ! happy mother there she wails for thee,
Apain lo taller on lile's weary IracK,
Thou wouldst not call her back.
