SUNBURY AMERICAITAND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
MESSR BTRAIB AND GAMBLE.
The Nebraska and Kansas territorial bills
arc unquestionably- shelved fort longtime,
rnoit probably not to be reached during
this aeasion This result was brought about
by referring the bill to the commitlea of
the whole on the slate of the Union, instead
of refering it to the committee on territo
iie, aa Ihe friendi of the bill wished.
The frlenda of the bill are, of courts highly
indignant with all the democrati who voted
lor lhi relerence. "The whole New York
delegation, with the exception of Mike
Walsh voted for this reference. A majori
ty nf the memberi of the Pennsylvania
delegation Votd the same way. Among
the Jailer we observe the names of our
member, Hon. C. M. Slrattb, and also our
former member, Hon. Jamea Gamble, now
a member of the Lycoming district.
That Messrs. Straub and Gamble have.acted
in accoidance wiih the wishes of their
constituents, there ian be no question.
The agitation of this exciting question was
premature and uncalled for, and if those
who thus brought it forward, for selfish or
sinister purposes, aufler, they will have to
learn to bear the cons, quences.
IT" SnaQtniiANNA Railroad. The act
consolidating the different rail loads be
tween Baltimore and Sunbury into one,
under the title of the Susquehanna rail
road, is a most important movement. The
Baltimore and York rail road is f3 miles
long. The York and Cumberland to
Bridgeport opposite Hariisburg 26 miles.
The Susquehanna from Bridgeport to Sun
bury Si miles, making in all a road 133
miles long from Baltimore to Sunbury.
At this place the mad will connect with
the Sunbury and Erie, and also the Phila
delphia and Sunbury rail road, now in
operalion to the coal region, as well as the
numerous branch roads, between this place
and Hiirrisburg, leading into the different
coal regions. The roid is destined to be
one of the most profitable in the country.
PENNSYLVANIA LECISLATITIE.
On the 1st inst. the Senate passed finally
bills to consolidate the York, Baltimore
and Cumberland, and Susquehanna P.ail

TIOK.
Them teems to be a factiou opposition
in the Select Council of Philadelphia to th
ubrcriplion to the Sunbury tnd Erie road.
Thia hat grown out of 1 jealousy nr.3 dissat
isfaction on the election ol Mr. Cooper for
President. The Council! agreed to make
the subscription of two millions, on certain
conditions. These conditions have been
complied with. - A special meeting wat
called for the purpose Thursday of last
week, when postponement was had till
Monday. On Monday there was no quo
rum and on Tuesday the tame, as will be
seen by the following from the Philadelphia
Ledger." This is lactious opposition is most
strange and unacotintable, when it is known
that the people are almost unanimously in
favor of the measure.

OCT" The Steam Ferry and Tow boat was
fired up on Wednesday, at the wharf, for
the purpose of trying her machinery. The
Engine was kept in motion several hours
in the afternoon, and proved to work ad
mirably. The boat will try her speed on
the river on Saturday. She is the best built
and most substantial craft that has ever
been in our waters. The Engine is of 80
horse power, made at Providence, R. I., at
the works of Mr. Fiske, the superintendant
ol the Philadelphia and Sunbury rail road,
under whose directions the boat has been
built. The boat is 80 feet long and 32
led wide.
(E7 Congress is not disposed to grant any
public lands lor rail rood purposes, out ol
the state in which the lands are located.
This will prevent the passage of the bill
introduced by Mr. Straub, our member of
Congress, for a grant of land in favor ol
the Sunbury and Erie rail road. Mr. Straub
did all that could be done in the matter.
DIVISION OF l.MON CO UN TV.
Our neighbors in Union county are now
in the midst of another excitement, viz:
the division ol the county and the formation
ol a new county to be called Snyder coun
ty, with Selinsgrove for the seat ol Justice.
The other division of the county will retain
its old name, but Ihe teat of Justice is to
be al Lewisburg. The bii! has already
passed the Senate, and a few days since it
was reported in the (louse after a hearing
before the committee Irom the friends and
opponents of the bill. The division men
have, they say, the names of 3,203 citizens
fur division, while the anti-division party
have not more than one third that number.
fhe fight is growing fierce and furious, and
our New Berlin friends are considerably
down in the mouth, as Ihe saving is.
Their only hope is in their member, Mr.
Simonton, who persists against division in
the face of the large majority ol petitioners,
and without whose assistance ihey would
stand but a sorry chance, not that Mr.
Simonton has so strong an influence, but
t.ecatise the legislature does not like to pass
a local measure, in opposition to the mem
ber t l the county. This is a courtesy thai
should, perhaps, always be shown, unless
where the member ads clearly in opposi
tion lo the majority. In that case, we
think, he hat no right to claim any such
courtesy.

Hakrisbpso, Match 31, 1854.
SRNATt. Mr. Slifer, from the Committee
on Vice and Immorality, reported an act to
prevent and punish wanton cruelty lo animal.
Thit It an important bill, and one which will
be productive of much good along Ihe line ol
the city railroad.
Mr. M'Cliniock, from the Select Commit
tee instructed to inquire into the alleged
mismanagement of the Slate Lunatic Asluin.
made a detailed report, which wat ordered
In be printed. The repoil it favorable lo the
management of the Institution. ' "
Mr. Iliester reported a bill proposing an
amendment to Ihe Constitution, limiting the
Stale deb, prohibiting the subscription of
stock by the Commonwealth or Municipal
Corporations to joint stock Companies, and
erealing a Sinking Fund for the final liquida
tion of the Stale debt.
Mr. Piatt also presented an act proposit g
similar amendments tp the Constitution
bolh of which bills were refeied lo the Judi
ciary Committee. .
A resolution, fixing Tuesday, Iho 18 h of
April, as the day of adjournment of the Lg
isluliiie, was passed. Mr. Crabb opposed the
resolution at length.
The consideration of the bill relating to
Public Executions, was resumed. It was de
bated ably and eloquently by Messrs. Bucka
lew, Kunkle, Crabb, Hamilton, Evans, and
McClintock.
The bill was amended by Mr. Kniikel,
makinrr ihe Sheriff, Ihe Coroner, or their 1
principal deputy, the executioner, and pro.
hibiting the employment of n hangman
The amendment vraa agreed to by a vote of
year 21, nays 8.
After several ineffectual efforts lo amend
by Mr. Ciubb, the bill passed almost unani
mously. The Senate oidered the bill, making per
manent the sessions of the Supreme Court at
H.irrisburg, to be transcribed for a third read
ing by a vote of 14 yeas to 12 nays.
Ilot'SE The Mouse then took, up on sec
ond rending ihe bill for the sale of the Public
Woiks.
Mr. Cook, of Westmoreland, remarked
thai it would bo admitted, he presumed, ilia1
he was in favor of selling the Public Works;
he therefore designed introducing a resolu
tion to postpone Ihe bill in regard to the sale
of lbs Main Linn until Wednesday next, fur
various considerations: one simple reason
was, without going 10 txtenso into detailed
statements, lhal this hull was crowded w ith
excited and interested boiers. lie did not
mean lo say they had not a right to come
here: they havo certainly throw 11 members
into excitement and turmoil i:i leference to
the sale of the Public Woiks.
Mr. Johnson, of Northampton, said that he
was opposod lo disposing of ihe bill lor Ihe
sale of the Main Line until we have also
considered ihe bill (or the sale of Ihe other
divisions of tho public improvements. He
thought it would be wrong to push the sale
of lie Main Line in Ihe Market alone. Ho
could not sen why members were in favor of
selling Ihe Main Line, and yet : ol disposed
lo sell ihe rest.
This Pioneer Furnace, in Pottsville, after
undergoing (borough repairs indeed, almost
entiie. le-buildiug at the hands of Ihe pres
ent proprietor, Mr. C M. Atkins, is now
ready lor operalion. Ihe winks and ma

SOCLE IN FAVOR AT THE COURT OF
MADRID SINCE MIS DUEL.
A Parisian, correspondent of a New Yoik
paper, writing under date of March 9th, says
that one of the most extraordinary events of
the day is Ihe fact mentioned by the Madrid
correspondents of London journals, that Mr.
Soule, the United Slates Minister, has been
in great favor al the Spanish Court, since his
affair of honor. I said that after ihe duels
the Queen Mother had expressed lo Mr. Soule
Ihe interest the look in his troubles. But in
a ball given by her on the 24th of February
she manifested more openly her sympathy
for Mr. and Mrs. Soule and their son. Next
day a concert was given, at which the Court
wat present. In an interlude, Queen Isabel
la, ihe King, and Ihe Queen Mother, Marie
Christine, bestowed upon the Soule family,
each in iheir turn, the most gracious alien,
lions. The Kins conversed half an hour
with the United Slates Minister ; he alluded
frequently to the lamentable incidents which
filluwed ihe French Ambassador't ball
Each lime he assured Mr. Soule of hit sym
pathy. Il is said that on being aware of
these facts, ihe Marquis de Turgol (w-hose
health is not entirely restored) showed a
great deal of vexation.
The London Times correspondent gives in
explanation of these unwonted civiliies, Ihe
iucieasiug coldness between France and
Spain, fur the government of the former has
shown itself little disposed to sustain the
throne of the Bourbons in Spain had the in
surreclionary attempts at Saragossa proved
successful. To this political reason a private
one is added, and it is the antipathy fell by
the two Qi.eeus and Ihe King, as Bourbons,
towards the Uouapurtes, and also by the two
former, as women, towards Ihe Empress of
the tiench, w ho wag not long ago Iheir vas
sal, but is now more than their equal. But
these are mere suppositious, and 1 give you
Ihem for what they are worth.
It is certain, however, that for some cause
or another Mr. Soule in in great favor at Ihe
Spanish Court, and that causes which might
have embarrassed his mission, have, on the
coutiary, opened ihe road lo its success.
Some months ago, iho Madrid Court, alarmed
by rumors about Soule and his incendiary
projects, somjhl protection in an alliance
with tho Cubineis of Loudon and Paris.
Now Ihe case is reversed, and the Spanish
government is honoring the man who was
represented as its most formidable adveisary.
An Albany paper says: 'A German in
that city pmbably experienced a greater va
riety of important events in one niubt, last
week, than ar.y other man ihut evur lived.
He was coerced into maliimony, presented
with a son four months old, had tho delirium
IremeiiF, a 1 ul paid ihe great debt of nature,
between eiyhl o'clock at night and live in
the inoniing."
Dr. G. B Smith, of Baltimore, reports in
the Boston Medical Journal two cases of pu
erperal fever cured by the administration of
brewer's yeast, internally. He gave the
yeast, diluted with an equal quantity of wa
ter, mid sweetened w ithtugar, a table-spoonful
eveiy two hours.
Mrs. Seymour, a lady of 53 years, was
aboard lhj steamer J. L. Avery, at the time
of her sinking, uud states lhal she had nine
thousand dulltirs in a pocket book, under her
pillow, which was lost; also a manuscript
writing, for w hicli she e. peeled one thousand
lollars from her publisher. She has been
for tome time nn authoress, and was on her
way to Philadelphia.
