No.lh Western Railroad Company recently published, lperce.'e U ..a.ed tl.t "lb. Sunbury nnd trie Road can er be. competitor with .ho linear road of which (he Nor.h Western is a part, for the through trod, of the North West, hi. only a few mile, shorter from I'himdolphia to Ilia ahore. of Lake Krie, and it reaohc those .hore. at a point nearly one hundred mile, nearer New Yoik, and at a comparatively unimportant city." There observations are, it appears to mo, ralvtilattv! to convey incoircct impiessinus, and somewhat to pie jiulice our road in the public mind in this city. '1 he very great superiority of the Stiubury and Kiie Road and it. co'nneclions over any of which tho North Western can form part, for tho piiipnse ol erialiling llnlailelpnia to reach tlm lake either Ht E'ie or Cleveland, is a matter iibout whieh nono who examine into it with im partiality ran possibly doubli But na all have not the wpurluriily lo refer t pn per tources Of loforttiat itint and as the report rc furred to in its comparison of distances most tarefully! avoids any mention of the dis tances from Philadelphia to cither Cleveland or Erio by the Sunbury and L'.iie roud and it connection, 1 would be obliged if you would furnish me with such data as may be sufficient lo correct the erroneous impressions lhat may be pioducud by the report in ques lion. Your, truly. Christopher Fallon. To Christopher Fallon, Esq , President oj the Sunbury and Erie Rail Road. Dkar Sin. Your letter directing my at tention to the report of tho President and Directors of the Northwestern Railroad Com pany, has been received. I observe lhat the President of the road is impressed with the idea, that "however im portant the Sunbury and Erio road may be, to develope the resource, of the counties through which it i. proposed to construct ii, it can never be a competitor with the line of short distance., giving it lh. character, at on t, of a flrt-cla road, w hen in point of alignment and grade., the Penn.ylvania can only be set down a. a second class road Indeed it i. currently reported, that for the freighting business lh. Directors of the Penn sylvania road seriously contemplate falling back lo the old system of Inclined Planes, be lieving it lo be more economics! than to be obliged to contend against the heavy grade fiom Alioona to the Summit ! An effort has also beeu made to create the belief lhat the Sunbury nnd Erie road 'Uends directly to New York." At Milton tho Cala- w issa road branches off, passing through the town of Danville, thence to Catawissa, and connects with the Little Schuylvill, a branch of the lic-iding road at Tamanua. From Tamaqua to Philadelphia the distance is ninety-eight miles, with a continuous de scending grade. The distance fiom Tama (ua lo E.ioton is sixty miles, and from Has ten lo New Yoik seventy-eight miles, ma king the whole distance, from Tumarpia lo New York, one hundred nnd Ihirly-eight miles; forty miles further from Tamaqua lo New lork, Ihun lo Philadelphia. From Milton the Sunbury and Erie read extends to Sunbury, and there connects with Ilia Susquehanna road and with ihe Philadel phia and Sunbury load j both of which will give additional facilities to Philadelphia for the trade of the Sunbury and Erie road, so that Philadelphia may have abundant oppor tunity of controlling this trade if she will; but if New York i. to make the road, New York will ju.t as certainly control the trade of it. Now how will the tendency of the trade stand with the North Western nnd Pennsylvania route, in comparison with the Sunbury and Erie, if distance has any influ ence upon its destination. From the point of divergence of the Susquehanna road from the Pennsylvania road (he distance to Baltimore is ninety miles, and lo Philadelphia one hundred and fourteen miles; giving Balli more Ihe advantage in distance of twenty four miles. Those who impartially enquire into ihe merit of the Sunbury and Erie road, cannot road of which the North Western is a part, J(Jubl ,hal u ,he begl roule from )(J Uke, for the through trade of the Noithwcst," and, "to say the least, will not be a superior line in point of engineering characteristics." We will endeavor to show how far fuels will sustain these assertions. The Northwestern road is intended to con nect with the Pennsylvania Central road at Blairsville. From Cleveland to Wairen, Ohio, the route is common to both tho Northwestern and the Venango routes, and, and the North West to the seaboard; a mute in which Philadelphia has a deeper interest than any other city, and which will, with ils connections, give to Boston, New York and Baltimore, the cheapest channel for trade Had Philadelphia constructed the Sunbury and Erie road at an eaily day, hei citizens would not now blush at the idea of being told lhat our great Commonwealth had a city on one of the very best harbours on the from Warren to Hidgway, where the Venango Lakes lhat was "comparatively an unimpor- road is intended to connect with the Sunbury (ant c,7,( " i and Erie road, the alignment and grades of the Venango are equal in all respects, I am informed by those who should knew, to those of the Northwestern to Blairsville The distance is about twenty miles fuiiher from Cleveland lo Ridgway. than from Res pertlully, &c, Robert Farii-.s, Chief Engineer Sunbury and Erio Railroad learn that a good line, by good and re sponsible men, will ere Ion; run the whole route, and that a packet line will also be established by the tame individual., lo run in connection with the Philadelphia and Sunbury Railroad. The editor of the Pres. ii equally at unfortunate in hi. assertion that "the extra coachei Irom Shamokin to Pottsvill. continued but two whole days." The number of coaches between those place, are often four, and never less than three, and when the people become thoroughly acquainted with the route, the number will be increased. Toward, the proprietors of the Packet boat w have never entertained other feelings, than those of friendship, and shall alway.be pleased to hear ol their prosperity, but wr can as sure them that their interest, can never be promoted by such "appeals" to an intelli gent community as appeared in the Inde pendent Press at Williamsport. THE EX TREASURERS AMD OURSELVES. A short time previous to the late elec tion, in referring to the different offices, we spoke as follows in regard to County Trea' surer : "None but responsible men should be elected to tins ullice. 1 lie dmiculnea wo havenlieady hud, and the expenses of Spe cial Auditors, costing the people $15U should be a warning nut lo elect, in future, every man who has the presumption to oiler himself, fur the purpose of making a little money ufT the public." Unconscious ol having said anything that could give offence to any, we were not a little surprised to find that our neigh bor of the Gazette had worked himself into a towering passion, in consequence of the publication ol the above paragraph in the American, and which, in itself, dors not contain a single syllable that is not war ranted by the facts. The result of this ebullition, is a long and labored article in the Gazette, under the head of "Ex-Treasurers and tlm American." in which thp ! editor uses a vast deal of fuss and fustian to makser, EJUor nni Proprietor. show that neither himself or his nredeccs- - -r-- - sor Were rogues or defaulters, but honest To ADYKBTHF.ru -.Tlie circulntlnii of the Smihury j ' ' Americim m.nB the different towns oU the . 9iiiniiriinua ad honorable men, who had honestly and iinolcxceeileilirequiittedliysnypnpCTpubtnlicdinNortfc honorably fulfilled their trust.

Tho boaid then adjourned to meet oil lh8 31st day of the present month. I'BPCRIPTION TO THE SUNDtRT AND ERIE RAILRORU. We learn from the Philadelphia paper. that two ol the County Commissioner, of Philadelphia, had resolved on Monday last, to make a county subscription of Two million, of dollars, to the Sunbury and Erie Railroad. The Commissioner, have not the authority to make such a subscrip tion alone, but require the concurrence of County Board, which board is made up ol the Senator, and members of Assembly, ol the city and county. The Ledger and some of the other papers, denounce the proceeding, and say that the Commissioners have no right to make such a subscription, and that there was no necessity for it, as the money could have been had at any lime, from other sources, il a proper guar antee was ci' en lor the management ol the road. Mr. Smith, one ol the Coin' missioners favorable to the subscription, had just been elected. There was at the late election, a pretty general break up ol old parties, and who knows but this sub' scription matter ha. had something to do with it. We do not care whether the city or county furnishes the money, but something should be done, and that very speedily, or else Philadelphia will lose vastly by the delay, in the construction of an improvement, which is more important to her future prosperity than all her othei contemplated rail road combined.

Tnt jtKS, Valisks & nurrxi.n Ruiif.s. Our neighbor O. W. Stroll has just received an asuort ment of tho n'oovc, in addition to his former stork. er and finest description, of iron i. where fuel is dearest, viz : in the Ea.'.orn States, where the pig metal is purchased from Bal timore and Pennsylvania, and transported with the coal, hundreds of miles, and then manufactured into the most costly articles, and Ihen, with '.he accumulated cost of trans porting the coal and iron, teturned lo be sold in the city, from which both were transpor ted. More money, it is believed, has been paid in this way in freights than Ihe entire difference of labor between this country nnd England. These establishments should all be located upon the same spot, and under the same roofs; and it becomes B.illimorean. to turn their attention to the subject. The prosperity, Ihe commercial and man ufacturing power, of Great Britain, is attnbu led by her most eminent political economists to her enormous consumption of coal. In like manner, the business capacity of oilies and towns, on this continent, advantageously located, as is Baltimore will be indicated throuuh her traffic either lor home use or shipment in ihe article. Baltimore's posi tion is such "as to become as laige a coal market as anv other in tlm Union." Let a wise, liberal, and expansive policy bo perse vered in, overlooking geographical liiie.-, en. couraging that which adds to her wealth, as well as that of ihe nation, and no limits can well bo fixed for the extent of her participa tion in this trade. The city is at present the enlrepot of our own extensive coal deponites which by Ihe way, find employment uses lhat Anthracite is unsuited lo and will likewise, be mado Ihe depot, as soon as the Susquehanna Railroad to Sunbury is complc led, of a large portion of the production of the region from which iho specimens alluded to were taken. In fact, there is well grouu ded reason for believin'' that our mpnly of Anthracite will hereafter have to come fiom the middle region, nnd Ihe operations lower down ihe Susquehanna, altogether, instead o' fiom tho Northern or Wyoming Coal fields, some AO or 60 miles higher up the liver. Tho coal lioin that region will now find on outlet to the Lakes, at higher prices, through tho North Branch of the Pennsylvania Canal, which has just been completed, than can Lo got in this maiket. It may not be out of place to mention here, lhat in anticipation of a largely increased trade, the Dulllmuiu ai d Susquehanna Rail road Company procured an act of the Mary land Legislature lasl winter, to authoiise Ihe construction of a railway from llieir present southern terminus to Canton, for the purposu of shipping coal the same as at Richmond on Ihe Delaware.

II apparitions should suddenly rise up, lik0 Brnquos ghost, unbidden at the feast, "thou canst not say I did it." Had not our motive, been attacked and ourselves grossly misrepresented, we should even now suffer the veil of oblivion to cover the whole transaction. Viewing Ihe matter in it. most favorable light, it kliowi that our Treasurer did not understand hi. own accounts. The fact that he offered to pay the Stile Treasurer a sum of money, which he refused to receive, because it was not due the Slate is ol itself su flicient evidence of our assertion. Had the County Treasurer understood hi. business as well as the state officer, he never would have offered to pay it where it did not belong. We do not think the cause of Mr. Ditcher was either "advanced" or retarded by our remarks, so far as the support of those con nected with the Gazette is concerned. We never had but one opinion on that subject. In conclusion we would advise the editors of the Gazette to study the moral ol the table of the unfortunate Irog, unless a similar calami! v might befall them. The tinier, we understand, ha. adopted Pick wick for hi. model and hi. study. This fact will, perhaps, account for some of the strange conclusions, as well as the rhapso dies and (altar it-s which frequently appear in the Gazette, as no doubt much ol it is to be understood in a Pickwickian tense, if understood at all. 1X7" The Stages have been taken off the North Branch Line, and the mail is now carried in a Packet Boat, daily.

Stale Geologist of Pennsylvania, consider the source of serious difference in the final cost which they involve. Not only must an extra amount of coal be introduced into the furnace lo supply Ihe deficiency caused by the additional impurities, but a still further portion is needed lo melt the excess of Ashes in the whole body of the fuel. The increas ed quantity of earthy matter difficult of fusion, thus supplied, call for a proportionate increase in the limestone or flux, which itself again exalts a certain amount of fuel lo melt it with the additional ashe. Thus from the one cause we require lo make a triple aug mentation lo Ihe fuel. If Ihe ore employeda be of a fair degree of purilv, the surplus foreign matter, ashe and flux together, made l litis to burthen ihe furnace, will ex ceed 5 or 6 per cent, of Ihe total amount of earthy matter originally there, and we therefore perceive lhat a seemingly trivial difference in the coals may prove a really imooitant difference in Ihe result. The quality of the extraneous mailer in Ihe coal ha even a greater influence than the quan tity, upon the fitness of a fuel for lha purpose of smelling, lu thi respect, too, the Anthra cite in question, il it id, is peculiarly free from all suk.tance of a hurtful kind. For slov use, and domestic purpose, generally, a well a. for generating .team, the coal of thi. region also stand equal to lha best An thracite of other Pennsylvania coal field. In connexion with thi. view of the Coal of the Middle Anthracite region, we may with propriety make use of a remark, before brought to tha notice of Bahimoraati, that in this country, a. yet, tbe most extensive manufactories for the fabrication of Ihe high- LOOXC HERB!! fTMIE subscriber respectfully informs his friends and the public, that hi)' lias just recciJ in addition lo his Block of Harness and Kadlery, a sujijily of TRUNKS, VALISES.
