Tlie tsresSi-d vttlne of tiul estate of i ht Stale of M,tb:;.r wi.s, in J851, $21 5:6 957.

Of ihe seventy enmities of Michigan, these rail- roads run ihrnngh only twelve, and thetefoie these Mould l entitled lo only one-sixth of ihe increase. But mailt w hat the assessment discloses, vi : that. the. inereasti in itiH val iif of i lit- it al cstHic of the Stnle in these twelve counties is neatly two-thirds of the utirc valni-tinn of the w hole Stale! in olh n wt.n!. the increase in the value of hinds and tenements in these twelve counties thtdih which these railroads run, in two jrenif, is n.ore tlinn forty million, thus : val i:e in 1851. 816,550,000 ; value in 1853, $57 813 000. Increase, S42. 263.000. Value of the whole State, (evenly counties) $70. 735.000." What a great fact do these statistics estab lish. Michigan is merely an agricultiintl State, while Pennsylvania abounds in mineral treasures of the most useful kind iron and coal: these being the means out of which the opulence and granduer of Great Biitain have, in a gieat measure, spiuns. And, su-por-added to these great resources of wealth, her hill sides and her valleys ate covered with a large growth of timber, which has al ready created a vast business, civinc em ployment to a numerous and fixed population, building up communities, and sustaining cheerful, piosperous, and even elegant towns. During 1852, the quantity of lumber tha1 passed down the Susquehanna, for the differ, ent markets, amounted lo 300,000,000 feet. To Baltimore alone, this trade was worth $1,000,000 last year. Harrisburg, Middle town, Maiietta, VVrightsville, Columbia, and 4 few other places, are points foi the sale and transhipment of a good portion of this lum ber. Sunbury will now become one of the leading lumber marts on Ihe Susquehanna. With the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad, being located at the coufluQr.ee of the two branches of the river, a vast quantity will be shipped from this point, not only to the Middle Region, but to the Schuylkill basin alio. The revenue, fiom this source, will doubtless prove a big item. Is it not certain, asked Mr. II , that if in Michigan the result had been as w stated in the article jiist read, that an impiovement which will open to inaiket Ihe v.iM and va. Tied, and inexhaustaLle pioduc'.s of our own Stale will afford a prt.ritablo investment for capital.

By way of illustration and example, as well as in direct establishment of the pioposiiion assumed. In the Schuylkill Coal region, a single tract of eight hundred acres, is this day yielding in rents an annual return of one hun dred thousand dollars, while a liaot of lour huridied acres is yielding but little short of that amount. These tracts have been longest worked, and yet are now most profitable. These facts deinnnstiate two things, the in exhaustabilily of our coal deposits and the immense wealth lo Ihe State, as well as lo individuals, of which thi'y are the direct aourco. The speaker here proceeded to show ihe vast importance of the Sunbuiy and Erie road to the Ftate and to Philaddlphla, de monstrating conclusively the proposition as sumed, and exhibiting the superior advanta ges presented by tha Sunbury and Erie route, by way of tha Sunbury and Philadelphia road, over every other, showing il to be shorter and of easier giade.

This ancient town, strled by the shrill whistle of the l icomotive, was about lo awa ken from its Rip Van Winkle sleep, and, like a jiaiit refreshed, to compete with energy in the great race of piogress, improvement and iiaii , v lii-ie all are stiagglmg, The tegiou tiial loi mi many yeais had laid, like some old fuigotirn gmve, ovcrurown with grass and w eed, was viviliej w itli a new lile Her old diiluf s, and dilapidation and easy- quit t, w ere among the things that have been, iua lew jeais to be entirely forgotten, only as recalled In mind by the tailors of some old mortality who might find his pleasure in blushing away the mildew and the moss from above the buried memories of the past. Sunbury was destined lo become the centre of a vast trade in lumber, in coal, in iron manufactures, and as Ihe central distribu ting point fur Ibe great chain of railroads piojeeled and in progress for the purpose f opening the resources of Ihe countryto the consumer as thoroughfares for the merchan dise and general tiafio of the country, and a line of communication between the wa ters of the lakes and the tides of the Dela ware and Chesapeake. In conclusion, said Mr. Hughs, permit me to submit the following sentiment: "The Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad-second in importance only lo the Sunbury and Erie Ri.id." Uetil. William F. Packer, President of the 3 isqnenaniia Kailroail uompany, in uu ver lu the toast, remarked that no man joined more heartily in ihe rejoiceing of this interesting occasion than he did. The im provomenl of ihis section of the Slate, by tho l tilroad this day opened for public use, and othets ol a kindred character, was an object which laid near his heart, and which had oc. cupied much of hi attention during the last fifteen or twenty yeats, A railroad opening on the banks ol the Susquehouna is a new thing anion!; us, said he, and it is not thuie fore surprising lhal one and all should unite in the jubilee. Thirteen thousand miles of railway have been constructed in the United States at cost of five hundred millions of dol lars, and yet Ihe Valley of the Susquehanna has nevor been made to rejoice w ith a rail, road opening along its green border. Dues it not surpiise you, gentlemen ol Philadel. phia, that you are on the banks of a river in our own Slate, nearly a mile wide at the vil lage in which we are so sumptuously enter tained that rolls down its mighty waters trom north to south cutting ihe Alleghany mountains to their very base and furnishing the most elligble route for a railroad from Ihe seaboard, and especially from Philadel phia to the Lakes and yet no railroad is found uponl those banks. Why is it? The gentle man who had just proceeded him (Mr. Hughes) had referred to the green streets of this ancient borough, and to the change which would immediately follow-this day's celebration. That the grass is now growing in the streets of Sunbury, said Mr. P., is not entirely the faull of her citizens, nor is it because she does not possess na'nral advantages. The God of Natute has lavish ed his gifts with profusion al this point, and along the entire valley. The reproach of not improving them must be borne, in part by the capitalist of our own cemmercial me tropolis. Mr. P. corroborated all thai had been said by Mr. Himhes in fovor of Ihe Sunbury and Eiie Railroad, and said that they would find, like the Queen of Sheba. :hat the half had not been lold them."

In this cal culation, Mr- P. said he did not include sev eral roads declaring dividends of over 6 ei cent per annum, w here no sales were quo ted ; among others, the Xenia and Columbus Railioad divided last yeal 15 per cent. That road is 54 miles long. The Winchester and Potomac, 32 miles lonu tlivid. il 12 pel cent. The New Yuik and Eiie, 4G'J miles in length, divided 7 per cent Al ihe conclusion of Cien. Packer's speech, H. B. Masser, E?ij , of the Sunbury .4inertca offered "The Press of Philadelphia." This was responded to by Morton McMi cliael, Esq , w ho, after loud calls from every pait of the room, Arose, ho said, to make a few remarks in vindicalion of Philadelphia not that any as sault had been made on the city by the gen tleman who has just taken his seat, but be. cause theie appears lo be an obvious misun derstanding in regard lo the feelings of Phil adelphtans for the developmeutof tho rrsoui ces of the interior of Ihe Slate, fie did not rise to scold at what had been said. At home, he considered thai his province. His profes-ion enabled him to indulge complaints freely against any apparent hike ai inness of the citizens of Philadelphia in impiovemeuts calculated to benefit the city ami State ul laigp, ami he was ready to con fess lhal hn fiequenlly bail done so for ihe purpose of inciting Ihem lo greater efforts. Even this, however, was not upcessary. The sympathy and co-operations of Philadelphiaus hail never been refused lo entepiises such a the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railioad, Ihe opening of which we aie now celebrating. So it has been in other cases. The presence here to-day of a targe dele' gatiou from Philadelphia shows no lack of interest in Ihis region. They are alive to l lie importance of ihis road. They know it must prove a source of profit lo the stock' holders, and be ihe means of not only bring, ing into inaiket your valuable mineral depot Is, but of improving the condition of the people ttenerally. Mr. MeM agreed with the speaker who preceeded him, that rail road investments were now among the most profitable. He heartily concurred in that gentleman's appeals. The spectacle of enterprise, energy, and prosperity presented in the Anthraci:e coal fields of Pennsylvania, is most imposing and insttuctive. In the heart of a wild broken terri'oiy, amid the shurpridgos of mountains, inleisecud b) the numerous rivers and streamlets w Inch go tu smell the tides of the Delaware nnd Susquehanna, in what was but a few years ago) almost a desert region, we find a numeioiis and fixed population, ware houses tilled with merchandize, and dwel lings of cultivated competency, smiling vil lages abounding w ith plenty, and a multitude of improvements in railroads anil machineiy, Democratic State Nominations.

Mr. P. referred to Ihe great advantages en joyed by the Philadelphia nnd Sunbury Road. Southward il connected wilh the Susquehan na Railroad leading to Harrisburg and Balli more. Eastward with Ihe Readmit Railroad leading to Philadelphia, and by the Catiawis, sa Road, (when extended to the Lehigh) it connected with the Somerville Road, leading to New York. Norihward it connected wilh Ihe Sunbury and Erie, and with lha road leading to Danville, en the Noilh Branchi penelraling one of ihe most valuable coal region, in Pennsylvania. Such a road can not fail to be eminently successful und profit able. He fongradnaled the officers and stockholders ol ihe company on the brn'ht piorpecls befoie them. The benefits enjoyed by th country through which railroads have been construc ted, has been demonstrated by tha exlraol read this evening by Mr. Hughes. What is true in Michigan is equally true in every State of ihis Union. The locomotive goes hand in band with progress and prosperity every whore. But the people along Ibe line of railroads, and ihe business pubile, are not the only parlies benefitted. By tha follow ing table, prepared wilh cam, said Mr,. P., it will be seen that shaiebolders alo enjoy a liberal share of the profits of railroads. Mr P. then read and commented ppon ' the fol lowing table, showing the number of milt each railroad named has open and in use, hnd the value of ihe stock of each company in the stock maiket, duiing the mouth of Aa ibe Sunbury and Eiie ruaJ would have in gust 1100 beirg the par Talue of each. the Authiacito regions has given a fitsli stimulus lo individual exertion, created an inexhaustible source of wealth lo the Stale, and a new bond of fraternity to the whole Union. Judge Helfeustine was railed upon nnd made a few excellent remaiks f I alluded to Ihe daik days of the Philadelphia and Sunbury road, nnd spoke of the ditiiru'iv its friends experienced in obtaining the means to effect its completion. But thanks to our Lancaster liiends, and several other gentlemen of enterprise and enlarged views, among whom Judge Hegins was mentioned, the necessary funds were obtained. Ihe load has been partially completed, and the mid dle coal field will henceforth give employ ment to thousands of the hardy sons of toil, yielding wealth and promoting prosperity to every part of this region. The Judge did not, in review ing the finan cial enterprise exhibited in the prosecution of ihis work, forget In make favniable men tion of lha physical labor bestowed upon it. He said ha had early learned to regard and revere human labor. Tha laborer makes an offering of his bone and sinew in tha im provements of his country, and should not go unappreciated by those w hom ha benefits moat. Ha incorporates bis life in tha com pleliou of tte enterprises he is engaged upon His pari, in ihe construction of works, is es. seulial to success as lha duly of Ihosa who ara assigned more responsible positions.

This place has been re markably healthy for a number ol years, but there are more ca esuf billions and intermit ent fevers this season than titual, but they are of a mild character, and readily yield to medical treatment. In a few weeks the change of weather will restore things to their usual equilibrium. M.W .MAIL AllltANdl vil Vt-LiW HATt Ol IMItr.. On Monday nex; will commence lh' new arrangement for carry iii)( the mails and passengers from this place to Piiifa delphia, over the Philadelphia and Sunbury Hailroad. The proprietors ol the stage line to Poltsville have made arrangements J with the company to carry Ihe passengers j to and from Sharrrokin in sis hours. The cars will leave Sunbury at 7 o'clock in the morning, arrive in Shamokin at 8 o'clock, where they will take the coaches, and ar rive at Potl8ville, according to this ar rangement, at 2 o'clock P. M., an hour and a half before the allcrnoon ttain leaves fur Philadelphia. On their return from Phil adelphia, pa.-sengets will reach Shamokin about 6 o'clock, and Uih place about 7 in the evening. Thus it may be said at last, that the trip from Philadelphia to Sunbury is made through by day-light, and the morning papers of the city can be read in this place the same day, before candle light. This will be a great convenience not only to the traveling public, but on ac count ol our mail facilities. L'-tters dateil at Philadelphia in the morning, can be re ceived and replied to the same evening, and the answer received in t he city Iheeven- ing ol the next day. The fare through to Philadelphia is fixed at From this place to Shamokin the fare is fixed at GO cents, or the round trip for 5'- There will also be an accomodation train which will leave Shamokin about 10 o'clock A M., and this place about 3 o'clock P. M. These rales of fare are assuredly low enough lo induce an extended travel over the road. Unlike the "old Toryism" that controls the management ol most railways starting out with exorbiant tolls, and tt iit' ciously adhering to them, the directors o the Philadelphia and Sunbury Iload, hav been governed by wise councils in making their company a common carrier ut prices to suit Ihe times. Hundreds, in additiun t illio.-e w ho must necessarily pass over the road on business, w ill now take a trip on account ol the cheapness ol the fjre. Citi zens here, and all along ihe Susquehanna, should not, and we know will not hesitate to avail themselves of the excellent facili ties for travel t the basin of our greut mineral deposits. Low fares nave mainly been lile cause ol the enormous travel over tile railways, in the .Ww Kngla.id States, and it is lair lo presume that the nuttatoiy s ep taken by our company, will tie atten ded, in a corresponding degree, with like lesulls. We congratulate (lie Hav-lln o p hi c in having tueir interests thus ca til tor, as well as the cmiipa iy on in- ti e prop-ct Indole (linn. i 11- uliicela ol lie Cotiipuiiy liuVe all aloii t-viuced u torn iin'ii.1 jult- spirit ol liberality in their man agement ol allaiis; but in no pai titular have 1 1 1 v exhibited so mm h foresight ati i annul policy as in the establishment if their rates of fjre.

Hi: iL I il OP Ml.lMoKlM 1 This town in lb- iiioiiiiIhiu, iltS'TVedlv enjoy, the reputation ol In mir one ol th most hiaithy lot at ions Iiiimi. An oh inhabitant of that place, whose leisure mo ments have enabled him lo observe closely, informed us a lew days since, that he ran recnl lo mind the death of hut two male citizens within the last seven years. The population has, probably, during that peii nd averaged about 700 persons. This ab sence of disease at least of a character un attended with serious restills, independent of the other striking features of the place, i remarkable enough to attract thither a arae population. The good hea'.lh of the citizens ol Shamokin is attributable to the purity of the atmosphere. The place is ele vated about 700 feel above the level of the sea, being beautifully situati d in the Wt-st ol the great Shamokin Coal Basin. It is ties main point in the Basin, through which all the oal, lumber, &.c, will pass and must therefore become a great place of exchanges of products belween the Sus quehanna and Scuvlkill. Great business ca- p.city, thus lib n led with provirbially good health, when fairly known, cannot fail to make Shamokin a mining town, second in importance lo none in the Slate.

On Tuesday last the first train of coal, over the new road, was brought in by the locomotive. The coal was consigned to Reuben J-'agelv & Co,, and is the begining, we trust of a brisk business. Mr. Fagely has been for years almost the sole operator in (he Sha mokin region. A new order of things has, however, now sprung up. Coal hrakers and other improvements ara introduced, and six or eight collieries are now being put into operation. We sincerely wish them all success in (heir new enterprise.
