His first efforts were in tbe iron basiness, aud then io tbe construction of a rail communication from the Scranton mines to New York. II is whole life wbs devoted to enterprises calculated to con fer benefits on bis follow men. This was the secret of his unboundod popularity. He was elected to Congress on the Republican ticket by a majority of several thousand, in a Demo cratic district.

The Phila delphia papers record tbe demise of the r Penniylvanian, long known as tbe would-be leading Democratic paper of tbe State. Tbe rennsyh-anian was established in 1831, and expired April 2d, 1861, for want of suste nance, the Government pap having been withdrawn. It was a rabid political paper, and like all papers or that class, exercised but little iofiueuce over tbe people. It was useful only to the wire workers and office hunters io controlling pot bouse politicians' as an strong partisan papers are, and never did command the respect or intelligent and disinterested members or tbe party, and was kept alive only by Governmtot patronage aud forced contributions. We bava before remarked that tbe time for such papers Las gone by. Hjp Tbe Sbamokio JUyUter has been dis continued.

TUB aVNBL'RY KRtB RAILROAD tlLU Tba editor or tbe Bloomsburg Demoerat and other indignant editors t( tbe Breckin ridge stripe, who were as mute as sucking doves in regard to the treason and robbery of the Government, ont of millions of dollars by tbe secession traitors io Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet, profess great indignation at what they call "Tbe Sunbury 4 Erie Railroad Swindle," and by wbicb, thny say, tbe Stale bas been cheated out of $4,000,000. Some, who bava never examined tbe sob. ject, may think there ii some little truth at least in this charge, but we undertake to say that do candid, fair dealing man, whose in tellect does not border on Idiocy, would ever attempt to show by argument tbat there is the least truth in such a statement. What ever objection might have been made to the mote and manner of tbe sale of tbe canals, none can be fairly urged against this last measure. The question is, simply, whether a second mortgage on a property which is fully capable of paying interest on tbe money invested, is not better than a first mortgage on an unfinished project, which is utterly worthless, for tbat is the whole tprstion. Our attention was attracted to this subject by a communication in the Blonmsbnrg Dem. ocrut, rrom Mr. Kline, the member rrom Columbia county, who bad been denounced by the editor of that paper, and who at tempted a reply to Mr. Kline without making u single point, except as to the "grammar and orthography." which the editor, with great magnanimity, professes to publish ver batim. 1'be Democrat says that Mr. Kline was, perhaps, the only man in tbe Legislature so ienoraot as to suppose tbat a lien of 1, COO, 000 existed, which bad priority over tbe State. As Mr. Kline (whom we never saw) is perfectly correct in this statement, he might in reply say that Col. Tate was, perhaps, the only editor in the State who did oot know the fact. We would advise the Colooel to try his band on another subject, end ventilate the late Government Swindle at Washington. We cannot see how any man or common sense, having any regard for the interests of the Stale, could Lave voted against the bill. THE LEUISLATLHK ASli Til It UAKKS. The report of the Committee on Banks in tbe State Seuate censures tbe conduct or the Philadelphia Banks fur their hasty action in suspending specie payments, thus bringing on a general suspension throughout th State. Tbe Committee, io reference to tbe alarm caused by tbe secession niovemeuts, aud tbe suspension of tbe Southern Banks, says : "Yonr Committee are aware that about one-filth of the specie was drawo from the banks or Philadelphia in one duy of the ex citement, which was well calculated to pro duce alarm ; yet they believe there was no such general distrust in the public mind within this Stale as justified a course in direct violation or the obligations or those institutions to tbe people, wbicb could only produce panic and financial distress through out the country. "31061 or tbese banKs bad an abundance or specie to enable tbem to pass through tbe monetary crisis, and a compliance wilb tbe law on their part, would have inspired con fidence where it was wavering, and preveuted much embarrassment and Buttering ; and if it were not for tbe great injury which would inevitably be indicted Boon the people in their business relations by compelling socb nanus as nave tbua violated tbe law to yield tbeir charters to tbe Stale, your Committee would recommend their forfeiture with little hesitation." The decrease in the lice of discounts in nearly ell of the country banks was very considerable, and consequently added to tbe Cnanciul troubles. We extract from tbe report tba curtailment or the discounts ot the following banks, in this neighborhood : Bank of Northumberland, discounts de creased, $94,(100. Sbamokio Bank, discoonts decreased, $41,- 000. Milton Saving Bank, no answer. Lewisburg Hank, no difference. Bank or Danvillu, discounts decreased, $39,000.

Miners' Bunk or Pottsville, discounts de' creased, SI 00,000. Farmers' Bauk or Schuylkill county, dis counts increased, $16.1100. O Disunion. We regret to say tbat matters do not look favoruble in tbe South. Terrible efforts are making to induce Virginia to secede If sbe does, Maryland will go also, and wilb them petbaps tbe Capitol at Washington. Hunter and Mason, the U. 8. Senators from Virginia, are both wotking to accom plish disunion, and we regret te see that Mr. Breckinridge, late candidate for the Presi dency, is doing all be cao to aid tbem. Nothing but tbe firm stand of Kentucky, in favor of the Union, bas kept him going over body and breeches, as did Joe Lane, who was on the ticket with bim as Vice President. We predicted at tbe time, that the Breck inridge ticket was a disunion movement But ibis was denied, afld muny or our Demo crats were led to vote for these treacherous men, who now regret tbut tbey did not sup port Douglas.

We neglected to notice last week a Gre tbat occurred io this place, oo account of which we copy rrom tbe Gazette: "On last Saturday morning at about 2 o'clock, one of the firemen on the Northern Ceutral railroad discovered a dense smoke Issuing from the building in Market street oc cupied by Daniel Druckemiller. 1'be alarm was given and tbe fire wa round to have originated in a room io that building used by John Decard as a liquor store, and was burn ing in the partition between lha Druckemiller Building and C. A. Bright's shoemaker shop. A rtcr considerable difficulty the fire was ex tinguished without doing much damage." . Genkrai IIovnio. The address oi Gov ernor Houston gives a forcible and true narrative of the extra ordimry acta or the Convention or Texas, by which she has been deprived of a good Government, and made to acknowledge the supremacy of King Cotton. There is something noMe as well as touching in the language by which the old General announces the cloe or his career. He says : " Fellowriiizens, think not that I complain at the lot which Providence has now asuigned me. It is perhaps but meet that mv career should close thus. I have seen the patriots and Hatesrwcn or my voutb. one by one, gathered to their fathers, and the Government which they bad reared, rent in twain; and none like them are left to unite it once again.

At the Federal City tbey have an epicurean luxury wbicb is thus immortalized io tbe Cleveland Her aliCt correspondence. "Did yon ever eat a boiled oyster? We have discovered a new institution in Wash ington. A friend asked us to follow whither he should lead. Entering a lowt shed like building, pervaded by a fish like smell, and penetrating the inner recesses, where twenty men ere opening oysters, passing along into an apartment where two boilers or cauldrons were set in furnaces, our friend ordered some boiled oysters. 'How many ?' was tbequery and 'a peck,' was tbe reply. We stared, but stood by io mute astonishment a peck or oysters and only two small men as feeders. Tbe peck or oysters were shoveled into a basket, placed under a force pump and thoroughly washed ; then the basket and oysters went into the cauldron of boiling water and remaiced five minutes. Plates meanwhile were heated, and tbe peck or oysters deposited oo tbe bench ; butler placed in tbe hot plates, wilb salt and pepper and the opeoing commenced. Tbis was ao easy task, as each shell bad opened. Tbe oysters were deposited in the plates raster than we could eat them, but we balled not until tbe peck or shells were scraped into tbe trough. Tbe bill was twenty-five cents. A boiled oyster is very much like a broiled one iu delicacy or Savor." Taxation. The followiog notice is is, sued by lbs Sheriffs of tbe counties io Mis. sissippi.

"The business on the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad is largely oo the inrrease, and each day the trains grow larger, notwithstand ing the fulling off in the shipment of oil, which does not now average one hundred bar rels per day.

Tbat oflicer gives notice that ons'third of the amoc-nt will be offered to tho public on be 17th of the ensuing month, to be iaiued in tuma ranging from $50 Io $1,000.

It1 appeals Hint the Cingr' f the 6eeded American Stales havn resolved to raise an 8 per cent, loan ol 3,000,000, redeemable io ten years. As the new Confederacy inclodes in its total populatloo of f,100 0!0, no less tbao 1.050.000 who are pledged to repudia tion, it is difficult to understand the possibil ity of such an amount being raised either in home or foreign markets. Tbis reeling is In creased by Ibe lact that, indirectly, the entire population may be considered to have signi fied tbeir approval or repudiation as a princi ple, by having selected Col. Jefferson Davis ss thoir first President. This personage bas long been regarded as tbe apostle or repudia tion, and the holders or Mississippi bonds have reason to remember his celebrated speech, delivered within tbe legislative ball built by British money, io which be ridiculed tbe "crocodile tears" tit the dupes who had ventured to petition for the payment or their claims. London 7met, March lbtA. , A National Convention. Mr. Seward, it is well known, is engoged in preparing a reply to the demand or tbe Commissioners or the "Confederated States," which is intended also to be a proclamation to tbe People of the United Slates, touching upon all the ques tions involved in tbe crisis into which the country is precipitated, aod elaborating folly the policy which will be pursued by the Gov ernment or the United States. This policy will be eminently one or peace. He will also doubtless recommend the calling or a Nation al Convention to settle our difficulties as the only feasible plan left to os We will add, that should tbis convention fail, after foil de liberation, in harmonizing our troubles and disturbances, Goal arrangements will proba bly be entered into for a peaceful and perma nent separation. However painful tbis would be, if ell other measures fail, we shall be obliged eventually to look this question in the face.

On iuvettigation the report proved only too true, tbe tymi.tomt ahowing themtelvx in an unmiitakeaMc manner, and which gradually increased until Nunday evaning, when death released tha unfortunate girl from her sufferings. It appeal that during the night about six week aince, Kr a licet and her sinter Lizzie were going to ur returning from a neighbora, when they were attacked by a dug and latteii severely. No suspicion waa entertained at the time thatthe dog was rnhid, from the fart that the attack seemed directed to a dog which waa will) the girls at the time. On Friday even ing, however, the fearful truth became apparent aa the aymptom gradually developed themtelvea. The lullermga of the unfortunate girl wereintenac, the frightful convulsion and diatorliona pcculiur Io tbe dreadful malady thowmg themselves thro IU various alages.

Their design waa to carry them "high and dry" oot ut Union without consulting the peaple. !iap poir.teJ in this, they set to wo:k to deceive and enjole the masses promptly by urging them tn vol against a reference or the action or the Convention of the people the source of all po litical power. Thty were too jealous cf their liberty, however, to Tall into the trap net for tlieiu. The result oS the election! filled tha precipitator for a time with dismay. Finding, however, tbat their case was well nigh deperata, tbey are now retorting to desperate remedies. At tbe com mencement of the station of tbo Convention, "hot haste" wat their motto; everything vraa to be done with a rush. Foiled in tbia, they have now fallen an the opposite tack.
