The Treasury Cashier of the common

a statement in lhe Hamburg papers, which
Shows the Stata finances to be in a nios1
prosperous condition Accordiug to his state
ment, the Slate debt on tho 1st o( December,
1851, was $40,332,543 Of this sum nbou,
thirty-six and three quarter millions bore in
terest at the rate of 5 per cent. Some two
and a quarter millions at the rale or six per
nni n,l than two bundled ttiousuud
doliarsat4i per cent. These items, with
650,152 of "Relief" issues, and about hall
a million of floating debt, form the aggro
gale mentioned. Since the 1st Dec, 1851,
the debt has been increased by amount of
the appropriation to the North Branch Canal
8850,000 ; and lessened by the operations of
the sinking fund, payment of out standing
ceilificates, damages, balances of contracts,
&c, $918,910, reducing lhe State debt at
present to 840,203,633. The payments on
the debt made since the first of December,
2851, exceed lhe amount of the North Branch
loan the sum of $68,910,52. tl should be
slated, also, that in addition to the 8134,000
received in premiums by the cancellation of

RIVAL HOL'TKS TO rillLADfcLl'HIA.
The opening of the Philadelphia and
Sunbury Railroad has had the eflect ot
stirring tip the Susquehanna Boat Company,
and lhe result is made manifest by innu
merable hand-bills, headed Change of
Hour Quickest route to Philadelphia, &.c.
The Packet now leaves Northumberland,
according to the new schedule, at 8 o'clock
in the evening, arrives at the Junction at
5 in the morning, by which pasengers will
arrive in Philadelphia in time for dinner,
say one o'clock. Time 17 hours. ThiSj
the bills say, is ''7 hours in advance of any
other route." The kind of arithmetic used
in making this calculation is not laid down
in the bills, but on close examination we
find the result is brought about by starting
eleven hours earlier, or the evening pre
vious. Davy Crockett once upon a time,
being asked the hour for dining in Wash
ington, stated that common folks dined at
noon, members of Congress at 3 o'clock ;
Senators at fi ; but Gen. Jackson, who .was
more distinguished, did not dine until next
day. .It is upon the Crockett principle,
we presume, that the Boat Company have
made their calculation.
Now il we adopt either ol these modes
ol calculation, we can prove conclusively,
that by the Philadelphia and Sunbury rail
road, passengers arrive at Philadelphia
thirty minutes before the Boat passengers
leave Northumberland. For instance pas
sengers take the cars at Sunbury at 7 in
the morning, arrive at Pottsville for din
ner, and Philadelphia at half past seven in
the evening, or thirty minutes before the
boat leaves Northumberland. Time 12J
hours, or 41 hours less than the boat route,
according to their own showing. But se-
t riously speaking, the Boat Company must
i have been hard up when they advertised
j their route 7 hours in ad "anof of any oth
er, unless tney look upon the a hours of
"rosy dreams and slumbers light," upon
the 7 by 9 couches of the boat, surrounded
by festooned curtains, as so many hours
passed in oblivious felicity, dreaming of
cascades and water-falls, that even Shen
stone might have envied, while the limpid
waters of the canal were splurging through
the gates of the lock. But
A kn ; that dreams are only dianns !
Thttt fuuey cannot dive
A lasting beauty to thus forms,
Which scarce a moment live !
E7- The travel over the Philadelphia
and Sunbury Railroad is greater than we
have reason to expect in its unfinished
state. On Tuesday morning there were
thirty eight through passengers and three
coaches are now running from Shamokia
to Pottsville to accommodate the increased
travel over the route

THE SUPf BURY GAZETTE.
Our neighbor of the Gazelle states that
the Milton Democrat and Sunbury Ameri
can are not deposed to give a hearty sup
port to D. B. Montgomery, our candidate
for the legislature, and intimates that it is
owing to his opposition to the $200,000
subscription by the county. We should
like to know by what authority the editor
ol the Gazette s-ls himself up as a Judge in
this matter. We have only to say, for
ourselves, that the assertion of the Gazette
is utterly untrue and unfounded. We have
less reason to feel dissatisfied with Mr.
Montgomery on this score than the Gazette,
as we nver advocated the subscription,
although we always contended it would be
a good one while that paper did not only
advise a subscription of $200,000, but
one of double that amount, let, strange
to say, the Gazette, in the face ol all this,
has the hardihood to assert that "neither of
these papers saw anything to disapprove of be so arranged as lo iillord un equal pattici

, week John Whalen, an Irish man
aged about 25 years, employed on the Mine
Hill railroad, was so badly beaten by a gang
of miscreants about Weslwood, that he died
on the following Friday morning. Chas.
Reckman was accidentally killed in the mines
of Richard Kear, near Minersville, on Thurs
day afternoon of last week. Mr. Reckman
was a member of the Minersvilln Artiller
ists, w hich company notice his decease, by a
series of resolutions exprrssive of Iheir re
card for him. On the morning of the 15lh
inst., a miner, named Patrick Matthew, was
instantly killed in the mines of the Tucker
Colliery, Tuscarora, by a fall of coal. He
leaves a large family, who were dependant
upon his daily labor for support. A mi

age, was killed in lhe mines of Odgers &

THE lENSVLVAM. l Oil M WALL MISEK.
The Harrisburg Union gives tho following
sketch of the Cornwall Mines, about twenly-
five miles from Ilarrisbutg :
There appears to be three conical mounds,
heaved up from two to three hundred feel
above lhe level of the plain, and covering an
area of about ninety acres, the e.'.lite con
tents of which is a mass of the purenl and
best iron oie in Pennsplvaiiia. There is no
removing superincumbent earth, and sifting
and sorting ore here, and no miners required
1 he whole lull is cut down in benches, as
contraclois would remove giavel for an em
bankment, and evety pound dug i3 iiou ore,
lhat neither requires ro.istiug or preparation
before Kiug into the furnace. These mines
have been wotked one hundred years, and
ihey look as they might last for a thousand
more.
Wo learn lhat Mr. Worrell, a competent
engineer, has made a measurement of lhe
mines, from which he estimates them lo con
tain forty millions of tons of ore above thd
water level, ami it is quite probable that
theie is twice as much below the water lev
el According to this estimate here is a sin
gle tract of land occupy ing the room ol an
ordinary Pennsylvania farm, lhat would pay
the whole debt of tho Stale and leave a large
surplus.
This ore is now being sold and w ot keel up
at lhe rate of about four hundred tons per
day, aud when lhe Lebanon Valley railroad
is built two thousand tousn day of it can be
sold. All thai is now taken uwav lias lo be
hauled iu wagons over a plank loud five miles
lo the Uuion canal. When the railroad is
finished tracks can bs built into llm pits, nud
lhe ore shovelled into the cars from lhe
banks, and thee mounds will furnish hade
for a rnilioad for a hundred yeais to come.

says:
There is quite a group ol new American
appointees bete, on their way to their vari
ous destinations. I am sorry to say that the
group does not compare, to advantage, with
the knots of American gentlemen and travel
ers that collect in the court yard of Meurice's
Hotel. Its apparent chaiacteristics are a to
tal ignorance of any European language : i
seal for propagandism whether timely or not!
the holding of ultra opinions; a taste for
brandy and water; a love for tobacco in its
worst form, and a seemingly uncontrolable
desire to swear. I cannot doubt that there
are sterling qualities in reserve ; but regret
that an observer's first impression of these
gentlemen, is so likely to be unfavorable.
