1 only Write a few particulate bf the shock-
..ing case which happened the day before
yesterday ; you will pern-ire it more amply
described in the papers I tend vou. I will
'begin by saying that the appearance of the
i assailants wai most despicable, for they
jcamo dirty, torn and in their shirt sleeves,
the better to show their origin.' ' ll was their
aim to secure me alive, in order to murder
me without ihe rhuich; but not having sue
ceeded they attempted to kill me within the
church,- Many were led to believe it, when
they had by repeated blows felled Paoli to
the gronud j for believing him to be me
thny said, "this is the very man." Another
scheme of theirs was to blow out the lights.
py turning the gas kejs, for by so doing
from their concerted plan, they would have
more easily succeeded in getting possession
of me, seizing at the same time, every one
present, mostly ladies and children. , But
man proposes and God disposes. It was not
possible to turn Ihe gas key, nor so easily to
capture me
Having rid myself of my first assailant by
throwing him over the pulpit, I took off my !
cloak, and brandishing the chair which had
served me as an orator, I defended my poetj
as a true Italian crusader. I think that many
of this gang will remember for some time
, this passage of the Italian missionary's lec
, lure. ..Having a pulpit about 12 feet wide,
, wilh the stairs exposed, facing the church,
f and compelled to defend it against more than
60 savages, was rather a difficult laidc. An
artillety sergeant, who now enjoys the sym
pathy of all parties, to the great shame of
. the policemen, (who were standing by as idle
speclatore) leaped from these stairs, and
; succeeded in defending with me my citadel.
After the first attack, Paoli, who was at the
church door, was enabled to reach the stairs;
and, having snatched a stick from one of the
assailant's bands, used it in every direction,
and we were enabled to retain the liberty of
our platform for more than twenty-five min
, ulc. ,
But again a gang of the outward assailants,
, to the number of more thnn seven hundred,
rushed: into the church. This is owing to
another unpardonable mistake of the police j
the stairs and parapet wore assailed with re
newed violence. The artillery sergeant feel
lug his equilibrium fail, clung to Paoli, who,
amid the great throng of assailants, could no
.longer mancevre his slick; meanwhile two
of (he savages had seized Paoli to overthrow
, him from the stairs; he cried out to me
'Gavazzi, help me." 1 abandoned the front
of the pulpit and with a desparate blow of
the bench which 1 held in my hand, fell
upon the bead of on of the two assassins,
.which caused bim to bound from the stairs.
.1 was reluming to the front, while some
other assassins having gained the ground I
bad abandoned to save my friend, lifted me
from my feet and precipitated me headlong
out of Ihe pulpit, fiom a height of more than
fifteen feet;
This was to have been the hour of my
death, and could have been. The falling
with such violence might have sufficed to
crush my skull; but God was there to protect
his poor, bnt confident servant. I fell on
floor of enemies' heads and shoulders, and
it ' was afterwards raid lhat as I was of
iron disposition, I weighed also as iron ilself ;
but I sustained no wound from my fall.. The
crowd then dispersing, I found myself stretch
ed out on the ground, with a legion of sava:
ge over me, overjoyed at being able to slay
me.! I then received a kick on my chin,
W hich has produced a slight wound, and a
contusion on the jaw; as the great crowd
prevented the use of sticks, thej endeavored
Id supply It with their feet. 1 perceived that
nothing bnt a gigantic effort could save me,
and I employed it accordingly, 1 rose in
spite of them, and by blows opened a passage
to the stairease which leads to the subterra
neous place where the Sunday Schools arei
and having met assassins on the stairs. 1
overcame them ; the last, who from his size
impeded my passage as it were a barricade,
end threatened me with his lurge stick, cal
ling me by th'J vilest names; I very coolly
rolled down the slaiff, and jumping over him,
leached ihe entry of the Sunday School. '
4 Fortunately Ihe tchool was dark ; having
. examined it in the morning I became ac
quainted with its structure. I look the left
path, among an innumerable quantity of ben
ches, while the savages, who were still pur
suing me, were obliged to delay before they
could ifacn the door. It was then I heard
theeryof Paoli, "Goa help me," which led
ine to believe (hat he was assaulted and bea
ten agaiu by lha assassins. Being eft half
dead, he would have been killed by the peo
ple had not an unforeseen hand conveyed him
to the subterraueous school, where he found
himself, as it were, miraculously avod from
a certain death. After five or six minutes of
fatal suspense, some one of the police came.
.The lights were again lit, but this did not
prevent ihe assailants from breaking all the
windows of the school, by throwing large
atones, one of which hit Paoli ou lha breast

LATH FROM l-'T A If "PROCLAMATION OF
UOVERMOR YOUNG AGAIftST THE MEXI
CANS.
Advices fiom Suit Lake to the 30ih of April
have been received. ' Governor Brigham
Young has issued a proclamation ordering
out an armed fmce to reconnoitre "a horde
of Mexicans." who had entered Utah lerrilo
ry lor ihe purpose of inciting Ihe Indians to
make aggressions on the inhabitants. The
Governor is also down in a savage manner
upon apostates. He advises them not to
courl persecution, lest they gel too much of
it. ' The Governor buists out in indignant
denunciation nf the apostates, and relates one
of his dreams, as follows :
Who broke the road to these valleys 1 Did
this little nasty Smith ami his wife? No;
they stayed in St. Louis while wo did it,
peddling ribbons and kissing the gentiles. I
know what they have done here; they have
asked exojbiaut prices for their nasty stink
ing ribbons, (voices, 'that's true ') We broke
the roads to this country. Now you Glad
denitcs, keep your tongues still lest sudden
destruction come upon you. I will tell you
a dream that t had last night. I dreamed
that I was in the midst of a people who were
dressed in rags and tatters ; they had turbans
upon their heads, and these were also hang'
ing in tatters. The rags were of many col
ors, and when the people moved, they were
all in motion; their object in this appeared
tube to attract attention ; said they lo me,
'we are Mormons, Brother Brighaui.' No,
you are not, I replied. 'But we have been,'
said they, and began lo jump, and caper
about and dance, and their rags of many col
ors were all in motion, to attract Ihe attention
of the people. I said you are no Sainis, you
are a disgrace to them. Said they, 'we have
been Mormons.' By and by along came
some mobocrats, and they greeted them with,
'how do you do, sir, I am happy lo see you!
Thoy kept on that way for an hour. 1 full
ashamed of them, for they were in my eyes
a disgrace to Mormonism.
Then t saw two ruffians, whom I knew lo
bo robbers and murderers, and Ihey crept
into a bed where one of my wives and child,
ren were. 1 said, you that call yourselves
brethren, tell me is this Ihe fashiun among
you? They said O, they are good men, Ihey
are gentlemen 1 Wilh that 1 took my large
bowie knife that 1 used to wear as a bosom
pin in Nauvoo, and cut one of their throats
from ear to ear, saying, 'go to hell across
lots.' The other one said, ')ou dare not
servo me so.' I instantly sprang at him, sei
zed him by the hair of the head, and bringing
him down, cut his Ibroat, and sent him after
his comrade ; then tuld them both, if they
would behave themselves Ihey should yet
live, but if they did not I would unjnint their
necks. At this I awoke, f say rather than
that apostataes shall flourish here, I will un
shea'.h my botcit knife, and lonquer or die.-
(Great commotion in the congregation, and a
simultaneous burst of feeling assenting lo the
declaration ) Now, you nasty apostates, clear
out, or judgment mil be put lo the line, and
righteousness lo Ihe plummet. (Voices gener
ally, 'go it, go it.') you say it is rip,ht
raise your hands. (All hands up.) Let me
call upon the Lord to assist us in this, and
every good work.

aVSQUEIIASItIA RAILROAD. 1
A meeting of the Directors of Ihe Sus
quehanna rail road was held at Lewiiburg,
on Wednesday last, In relation to the exten
sion of tba Susquehanna rail road to Lew
isburg and to Williamsport. There has
been much negotiation on the subject be
tween this company and the Sunbury and
Erie rail road company. The latter com
pany are, however, firm and determined on
this subject. They have but one opinion
on the matter, and that is, that they will
construct, and hold in their own power,
every inch ol the road between Sunbury &
Erie. The extension of the Susquehanna
route would certainly be a wise measure,
in case the Sunbury &. Erie, either failed or
refilled to make the road. We presume
the making of the two roads is not contem
plated or seriously thought of. The Sun
bury &Erie company might, with equal or
more propriety, extend their rond from this
place to Harrisburor, on the opposite side of
the river. The Lycoming Gazette thinks
the terminus of the Susquehanna road at
Williamsport, is more important to that
place, than all the pro peclive railroads.

our paper of the 4th inst., we furnish
ed our readers with some statistics in relation
to the coal measures in the Shamokin coat
region, and the probable amount of coal
that would be mined and taken to market
next year. These calculations may, per
haps, seem extravagant to those who have
paid little or no attention to these matters,
or who have never examined into the sta
tistics of our neighboring coal regions, for
the facts which justify us in our conclu
sions. Great as are the treasures of Cali.
fornia and Australia, yet they are more
than equalled by the coal mines of Penn
sylvania. It is universally admitted that
England owes her great wealth and com
mercial supremacy, to her coal and iron.
We need only look to our neighbors of
Schuylkill county asm evidence ol what
can be done by the developement of the
great mineral resources ot this county. !
Even in 1810, the population ol Schuylkill
was but little more than Northumberland.
In 1850, she came near rivaling her neigh
bor Berks, of which she is an offspring, and
should she continue in the same progressive
ratio, she will strip the laurels from both

THE STAGE ROUTE TO POTTSVILLE.
The itnzt proprietor! at Pottsville, not
content wilh the exhorbilant charge ol
$ 2 87 fare, between Northumberland and
this place to Pottsville, amounting to7 cU.
per mile, have commenced the business,
not exactly ot levying mail, but or levy
ing contributions on the baggage ol passen
gers who are so unfortunate as to be com
pelled to travel in their line. The route,
though mountainous, is a pleasant one, the
road is good and the scenery wild and ro
mantic. About twenty five yean ago, Mr
John Weaver of Pottsville, formerly ol
this place, established the first daily' line of
coaches over this route. - The fare then,
when stage fare was thirty per cent higher,
every where, than now, was only $2 25,
and the time occupied about one third less
Some years alter, Mr. Weaver sold out his
interest, to other parties. Since that time
the route has been used as an experimental
one, to try the patience and pockets of the
travelling community. A few days since
a gentleman (a clergyman) and two young
ladies, bound from Philadelphia to this
place, had their trunks closely examined at
Pottsville. As their trunks somewhat ex
ceeded the 50 pounds allowed, as most of
them will, the young ladies were taxed
$2 50 and the gentleman 75 cents extra.'
The proprietors, no doubt, thinking them
selves extremely liberal in not charging
them (or the extra time they kept them on
the road.
But a brighter, better day is dawning.
In August next, the Philadelphia & Sunbu
ry rail road company will have their cars
running as far as Mt. Carniel. A new con
trolling power will put a diflercnl face up
on matter. The time of travelling will be
reduced (rom 12 to 13 hours, to 6 or 7, and
the I'liilaJclphhi morning mails will reach
us before sundown of the same day.

Thus it will be seen lhat in the last ten
ears her population has more than dou
bled. Until ISM, the only outlet for the
coal of Schuylkill, was the canal. In that
ear the Reading rail road was completed,
and the coal carried over the road, that
ear, was S50 tons. In 1853, the amount of
coa! carried over the Reading road was over
1,600,000 Ions.
The amouut of coal sent to market by
the canal in TSl-O, amounted to 15'2,291
tons.
It was not until alter the rail road was
completed, and entered into the field of
competition with its great rival, the canal,
for the coal trade, that the rapid progress of
the coal business commenced. Since that
period its results have exceeded the calcu
lations ol its rrost sanguine friends. Schuyl-
ill county is dotted over with thriving
ilianes and a teemimr and industrious no-
0 i
ulation.
The natural advantages ol Northumber
land county are no less, and in some instar.
ces superior to Schuylkill. The facilities
lor mining are greater, and the avenues to
market more numerous. Besides, the in
exhaustible beds of iron ore and limestone
will create a home market fur a vast amount
of coal, lor the numerous furnaces and rol
ling mills in the valley ol the Susquehanna.
It is fair to estimate, that, for every 90,000
tons of coal, one hundred and twenty fami
lies will be necessary at the mines. This
according to our previous estimate ol the
amount of coal tbat will most probably be
mined next year, will require the follow-
ng number of families at the works of each
ol tHe following companies:

We understand that Mr. Fallon, the Pre
sident of the company, has gone to Europe
for the purpose of negotiating with capital
ists, for '.he sale ol the bonds of this road,
which he had prepared and taken with
him. The lormer negotiations, with a
house in Loudon, we have been told, failed
in consequence of letters having gone out
in the same ship with the agent, which re
flected severely upon the character and
standing of the officers of the company
Whatever may be the issue of Mr. Fallon's
mission, there is no question but what the
road will be made. Should Mr. Fallon
Iail in negotiating the bonds, a new organi
zation ol the board will, no doubt, take
place and the city councils will then, we
presume, make the subscription of $2,000,
000, and there are other capitalists ready
to take hold. 1 tic construction ol ine
road from Sunbury to F.rie is a fixed fact.
Nothing can induce the company to alter
their intentions. Whatever delays occur,
though vexatious, will be found to be only
temporary.

Amounting to 1129 families, and estima'
ting each family at six persons, the popu
lation at the mines alone next year would
amount to fS,5C2 persons. Assuming two
families for each house, the number of
houses required would be over seven hun-
derd.
Then if we add 25 per cent, for mechan
ics, laborers and others, incidentally con
nected with these operations, the sum total
will be swelled to 10,717. As nearly al1
ol these will be new comers, the population
ol the county will be increased, perhaps,
not lea than nine thousand, or nearly 00
per cent, in less than two years.
These are the fruits of the completion of
the Philadelphia and Sunbury rail road, one
of the most important improvements of
