REIN teljigb tlegister. Allentown, Pa. THURSDAY, MARCH 1, 1819. V. B. PALMER, Esq., N. W. corner of Third •and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and 169 Nas sau street, (Tribune Buildings,) Ncw York, is .our authorized Agent for receiving advertise. ments and subscriptions to the Lehigh Register and Collecting and receipting for the same. rr Hon. Simon Cameron of the United States Senate and Hen. John Strohm of the House, will please accept our sincere thanks for valuable Congressional favors. ear Our thanks are also due to Messrs. Boas of .the Senate, and Laubach of the House, for Legislative documents. " The Fourth of March This is the day fixed upon by the constitu• Lion of our country for the inauguration of the President. But, as the 4th of March this year happens to come on Sunday, the ceremony will take place on Monday the s•h instant. As to the appointment of Cabinet officers, all is as yet enveloped in mystery, with the ex ception of the Premier, which as stated in our last, has been settled upon the Hon. Jolnm M. Clayton, tof Delaware. lie•ports were current, however, that the Hon. Rot•ace Bildirli, of Phila delphia, a man of great mind, and - distinguished as one of the brightest of Pennsylvania's great men, would be offered a seat in the Cabinet. His appointment . as a Cabinet officer would confer honor upon the Keystone Stale. Mr. Binney has repreSented Philadelphia in Con gres for many years, and although out of politi cal life for some time, yet, no tnan in the State is better versed in political economy than he. He never was a violent partizan, but always consistent in his views. Such men like these appear to be the choice of Material, of which " Old Zach" will form his Cabinet. Should the rumor of the app . bintment of Mr. Binney prove true, we have no doubt, after the liule skirinish of the politicians is over, it will be almost unani mously approved in Pennsylvania. The Mike for which Mr. Binney is named is that of the Treasury Department. Population of the United States. From the Report for 1848. submitted to Con gress by the Commissioner of the Patent Office, it appears that the present population of the United States is estimated at 21,686,000. The number ,allotted to each State is as follows : Maine, 815,000; New Hampshire, 308.000 ; Massachusetts, 875,000; Rhode Island, 135,000; Connecticut, 340,000; Vermont, 3/0,000 ; New York, 2,880,000; New Jersey, 425.000; Penn sylvania, 2,220,000; Delaware, 85.000; Mary land, 510,000; Virginia , 1,295,000; North Caro lina, 780,000; South Carolina, 620,000; Geor gia, 825,000; Alabama, 716,000; Misfissippi, 870,000; Louisiana, 490,000; Ohio, 1,980,000; Tennessee, 980.000; Kentucky, 890,000; In diana, 1,000,000; Illinois, 500.000; Missouri, 589,000; Arkansas, 200,000; lowa. 150,000; Michigan, 420,000; Wisconsin, 250,000! Flori da, 80,000; Texas, 150,000; District of Colum bia, 48,000; Oregon, 50.000. New,lndian Government The tribe of Seneca Indians held a Conven tion in Erie county, N. Y., on the Cattaraugus reservation, some time since, at which they re turned thanks to their white friends for the efforts they had made to improve their condi tion; and requested a continuance of them.— They also abolished the government of their nation by chiefs, as being. inadequate to their wants, and substituted in its place an organiza tion fashioned after our own, with a written Constitution, a Legislative Council, a Judiciary called " Peace-makers," &e. This, we believe, is the first effort at a formal I.tovernmetital or ganization of the few straggling Indians that iremain enclosed in the pale of Anglo-Saxon civilization in the old States of the Atlantic coast. The re-organization of the Cherokees, Chicka saws, and Choctaws, was made long ago, and has thus far proved the most iritree , ;slul bar to the aboriginal race. The Indian:Ail New York are settled upon lands reserved for then especial use, and fermi which the whites are excluded. Reading California Association The Stockholders of this Association held a meeting at Major Ebt:er's on the 23d ultimo, to make final arrangements for the , Aleparture of the members chosen to proceed to California. They started from Reading on Monday morn ing for Philadelphia, and sailed from thence on Tuesday afternoon, in the schooner Newton, Capt. West, for Tampico. From the latter point, they go to Mazatlan or San Blas, on mules, and thence by water to San Francisco. The vessel is equipped with everything necessary for a safe and speedy voyage, and the Company have provided an ample stock of implements, pro visions, clothing. &c., for the use of their mem bers while sojourning in the gold region : We hope those who go and those who remain at home may not be disappointed in their expec tations of profit. OF' Dr. Waller J. Marlin. of this place, who is one of the Company, has been appiiinted a Direc tor in California. Di. Martin is a young man of very handsome acquirements, and will be of emi nent service, in a professional point of view to the party. We trust the company will meet with a good quantity of the yellow dust"—and return to'their homes with all That, which appears . to make men happy in this world. car We also see the name of Mr. Peter Snyder connected with the Mauch Chunk California As sociation, which sailed from Philadelphia, yes terday, in the ship Algoma. lkir.Bnyder is born and was long a resident of this place, where he is well known and esteemed. He is a young man of very goi►d character. • Success to him! Nevrepapere. " It is the newspaper, in one form or another, that is to mould and instruct the people of our age. fictoks are of use ; of great use, and they will continue to be the depositories of knowl edge; but the masses have, as a general thing. neither the disposition nor the time to read . books. They can, however, find time to peruse daily a column or a paragraph of a newspaper, and in the course of a year such reading will not be inconsiderable in quantity.'7 . The above remarks caught our attention as we were looking over an article in one of the reviews a short time since, and they seem to us to be a briel and beautiful expression of the truth. The newspaper is the means by which intelligence is conveyed, on . almost every sub ject, to all clAsses of society, and no man can lay claim to high intelligence, respecting the present state of the world, who is not a frequent reader of some form of-newspaper. - There the politician goes for his information of the present state of his party, and the statesman goes for a knowledge of the operation of the laws and the progress of correct principles in the country at large. There every one goes for his knowledge of the present state of the world, for an acquain tance with those political and social changes that are working our age and time, the wonder of all times. And not only so, l but to those who take little interest in any thing that is either political or sectional, to the farmer by his fire side, the mechanic at his shop, the young lady in bet boudoir; what an amount of information and pleasure does a newspaper bring, in the experiments recorded of the farm, the state ment of the newly discovered process by which some one has achieved a new conquest over stubborn nature, and compelled her to disclose her long concealed secrets, and the cheerful tales Of imaginary or real life, that go to make so large a portion of the day dreaming of those whose world stall looks bright and fair. News papers are made for all, are accessible to all, and where they are properly conducted, give a - healthful influence over a circle that has al most no preceptible -bound. All men read something to incite the mind to action, to quicken anddirect the thoughts, and nothing is so good for this as the thoughts of 'others; how great then may be the advan tage to him whose muscles are wearied from labor; or whose mind is fatigued by the con stant exercise in the monotonous duties of the counting room, that comes from a fresh news paper, carrying his thoughts away from him self and directing them to the world without and beyond him. It is true that there are news papers that disseminate falsehoods, and exert a corrupting influence wherever the r y go; but that evil, great as it unquestionably is, bears no comparison to the evil that would ensue if no cheap and direct means of conveying infor mation should exist. In all our country a man must be poor indeed who cannot afford to pay for a newspaper; and he must be strangely blind to his own interest who neglects to have one.—Lancaster Farmer. A Taylor Ball We have occasionally given extracts from the Jonesborough (Tennessee) Whig, edited by the far•famed Rev. W. G. Browidow. By the following extract from his paper of Jan. 23., we see that he has not a much better opinion of dancing than lie has o( The city of New Or leans. The latter, especially, would seem to stand in great need of the Parson's reformatory labors: A Taylor Ball.—A portion of the wicked in habitants of New Orleans. are to have a Taylor Ball in that city, on the 25th of this month.

Next Session of the State Senate. • The Lancaster lutelligeneer thinks that the next session of the State Senate will find a majority of Democrats in that body. The fol lowing .Whig Senators' terms of service expire with the present session : 1. George Richards. of Montgomery; 2. Josiah Rich, of Bucks; 3. Jacob D. Boas, of Lehigh: 4. William Harris, of Lycoming; 5. PhiliPStnyser,of York. These, it argues, will all be succeeded by Democrats, which will increase the number of Democrats to eighteen and reduce the number of Whigs to thirteen, unless that party should succeed in electing a successor to Capt. Small, of Philadel phia, whose term also expires—in which case the parties will stand 17 Democrats to 16 Whigs. This, of course, is all Speculation as to proba bilities—one singlechange the other way would defeat the whole calculation.

The following-Rules, recently adopted in the Quarter Sessions of Chester and Delavrare cOun ties, may he interesting to many of our readers, and therefore we publish them in this connec tion. Similar rules should be adopted in Le 7 high county. Roads.—All petitions for damages occasioned by a road being carried through the lands of individuals, must distinctly set forth, not only the time it was laid out and confirmed, but the time also when it was opened, and also the beginning and ending of the road. Unless the reports of viewers appointed to assess damages occasioned by roads, be return ed, read and confirmed nisi, on or before the second day of the session, the confirmation thereof shall not become absolute until the third day of the following session, until which day exceptions may be filed. All applications for reviewers, and all excep tions to the confirmation of reports of viewers, re-viewers, &c., must be made within the first two weeks in Chester county, and the first week in Delaware county, of the same session of their confirmation nisi, unless otherwise especially directed by the Court. Taverns.—Petitions for Tavern licenses, to houses not before licensed, must be 'presented and read at the first session of the year, and continued over until the following session, in order to give an opportunity of preparing and presenting remonstrances; and no license will be granted at any other than the second session of the year, unless in the cases specially pro vided for by law. All remonstrances against the granting of tav ern licenses, must be presented on or before the first day of the first week of the session, unless where the Court may, in any particular case, otherwise direct; and the counter remon strances of applicants shall be confined exclu sively to answering the allegations in the re monstrances; or the Court may, in their dis cretion, hear the parties applicant and remon strant by affidavit, under such order as may be made in the particular case ; provided, that the Courts may of their own motion require further information. No application to reconsider a petition for Tavern licenses which has been passed upon, will tie entertained by the. Court, unless for reasons (in.writing verified by aftidavit,) which. had not been previously known to the Court. Children of Consumptive Parents. Quinsy, sore throat, croup, inflammation on the lungs, and liability to colds, all spring from a consumptive predisposition, and can be cured by whatever prevents it. Besides the applying to such children preventitives already prescrib ed for consumptive adults, let them not be sent to school too early, but allowed to run wild— at least unconfined within doors—till into their teens. Sitting in school isespecially pernicious, partly because of the vitiated air .of school rooms, and because their small lungs make them naturally bend forward, and also warp inwardly, so as to retard all the vital functions. Folding the arms upon the chest is especially detrimental, because it impedes respiration.— Fold them behind, if at all, so as to throw out the lungs. As the-heads of all such children are too much for their bodies, neglect their mental culture, but make every effort to devel ope and fortify their physiology. They should do little else than exercise, eat, sleep and grow, till twenty, and event then not hurry to marry, or engage in business, till fully matured, though such are liable to do both while too young.-,-- They border on precocity, and require to be kept from study instead of sent to school. The more noisy their occupations the better for their health, and the more averse to study the less liable to consumption. Let them live mainly on bread, milk, and fruit, and retire and rise early. Meat will injure them, because it still father stimulates them—the reverse of what they require—whereas milk soothes and quiets 'nein.. Especially important is it that they :•Itould bathe. Prevention of Smoky Chimneys We see it stated in one of our exchanges that Sir Henry Hart, CommisSioner of Greenwich Hospital, England, has recently patented an in vention for promoting the draught of chimnies, so as to prevent all smoking and promote ven !illation in apartments. The apparatusconsists of a fan wheel in the centre of the cowl or chim ney top, the axis being horizontal immediately on a level with the orifice. One half oldie wheel projects above and is open to the influ ence of the wind; while the lower half is shield ed front it and it is therefore made to rotate very rapidly and acts like a screw to force up the smoke or vitiated air from below. There is a diaphragm placed across one hull of the chim ney to prevent any. air being forced downwards and the smoke therefore is confined to one half of the chimney. Many improvements of chimney caps have been tried .atid suggested to cure smoky chim neys, and there is not a year passes away with; out litany new chimney caps being brought before the public. A very excellent chimney cap has lately been introduced into New York by Mr. S. Bull, which is superceding many other kinds of caps. The invention of Sir H. Hart s appearsto be a good one, but if we mistake not, a design for a chimney cap ou the same principle, termed the Archimedean Chimney Cowl, was registered in England by a Mr. Allan in 1847.—Sci. American. The Son of Louis -YVI in Wisconsin.—Rcv. Mr. Porte'r, of Green Bay, Wisconsin, in writing to Rev. Mr. Peet, makes the following remark : .• We have all been surprised at developements which go on to prove that Rev. Mr. Williams. of this vicinity, is the son of Louis Xyl of France. Early Marriage.—A "lady" only ten years old was married at Panama, Jan. 12. Females ma ture in that meredian fasmr. than in any other region. At Bor 9, young ladies are of sufficient growth to carry on quite serious flirtations. Legislative Proceedings. HAsatsstrita, Feb. 28, 1849 SENATE.—Mr.Matthias presented a bill that the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company may be prohibited from issuing interest or coal scrip. Mr. Boas'presented a remonstrance against the laying out of a State road from Lehigh county to Berks county. Mr. Boas, four petitions, for a change of place of holding elections in Lower Mt. Bethel ship, in Northampton county. HOUBE.—The bill providing for the coi tion of th - e'North Branch, was taken up in order, on second reading. It was debated by Messrs. Packer, Cooper, Fisher, Walters, Steel and Court in favor, and Messrs. Eshelman, Laird, Evans, Merrick, Ball and Swartzwelder in opposition to the bill The subititute proposed by Mr. Ball,providing for a loan of twelve years, to complete the work, and for the issue of small notes, was lost. The vote on the first question stood, yeas 46, nays 50. The House resumed the consideration of the bill extending the charter of the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Philadelphia. The pending amendment of Mr. IL R. Smith, which was the Senate bill upon the same subject, was negatived by a vote of yeas 35. nays 50. The first section of the bill then passed a second reading by the following vote: yeas 44, nays 40. The remaining sections.were then severally read and agreed to without a division, until the 15th was reached, which after a brief discussion, was rejected. The clerk continued to read the sections following, which as fast as they were read, were responded to with a hearty aye."— On the '2Bth section, however, of the gill as print ed, the yeas and nays were called, and it was car ried by but a single vote. When the entire bill had been gone through with, Mr. Meek offered to amend by the addition of a new section, providing that whenever the notes of the said Bank shall cease to be equal to gold and silver in the city of Philadelphia, the charter shall be forfeited. Mr. Pearce moved to amend, by striking out the section,and inserting In lieu,a provision that the several Banks of the Commonwealth shall receive in payment at their par value, each other's circulating notes ; provided, that the institution from which they are issued, is at the time redeem ing them in gold and silver at its counter. This amendment was agreed to by a vote of yeas 41, nays 24. Mr. Diehl now rose, and with a grave counte nance, submitted the following, to come in as a new section: That the County Commissioners of the several counties wherein Banks now are, or may hereafter be established, are hereby au thorized to enlarge without limit their county prisons, in order to have sufficient accommoda tions therein, to carry out the provisions of the 14th section of this act." The object of this amendment will be seen by an examination of the section referred tofin which the wisdom of the learned framer of the bill has provided that the Bank, under certain circum slances, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and subjected to fine and imprisonment. •Mr. Diehl very naturally thought that in his county espe cially. this provision of the bill could not be car ried into effect Without, a considerable enlarge ment of the prisons, in order that the several Banks 'might be therein incarcerated. The House, however, did not agree with the gentle man from the city, and the amendment was re jected by a vote of yeas 8, nays 45. Mr. Fenlon, of Cambria, next submitted the following, to come in at the end of the bill : " Pro vided, that no section or sections of this act shall be so construed as to confer banking privileges upon the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank of Phila delphia." The Speaker decided that the amend ment of the gentleman from Cambria was not in order. After some further attempts at modification, the bill passed a second reading, and on a motion to suspend the rules and read it a third time, the yeas were 54. nays 33. Two-thirds not voting in the affirmative, the bill was laid aside. Speech from Gen. Taylor We make the following extract from the speech of Gen. Taylor, delivered at Louisville, in reply to the chairman of a committee appoint ed by the Legislature of Kentucky to invite the President elect to visit the capital of the State : "You have spoken of the high office to which I have been elected, the duties of which I will soon be called upon to perform. The highest honor of the republic has been conferred upon me, and I must confess, Mr. Chairman, I am distrustful as to my ability to discharge it to their complete satisfaction. It was given me by the people—not at my request—not for any pecuniary or personal considerations, but with the earnest hope and-wish thatj might admin ister the government ILA in the-nays of the ear lier Presidents. This I shall endeavor to do.— But as I before stated, I fear they expect too much. That I may err, and err greatly, I freely confess. But in so doing, lam confident those who know me will ascribe it to the head and not to the heart." Frankness Be frank with the world. Frankness is the child of honesty and courage. Say just what you mean to do on every occasion; and take for granted your means to do what is right. if a friend asks a favor, you should grant it, if it is reasonable; if not, tell him plainly why you cannot. You will wrong him and yourself by equivocation of any kind. Never do a wrong thing to make a friend, nor to keep one; the man who requires you to do so is dearly pur chased at a sacrifice. Deal kindly but firmly with all men ; you will find it the policy which wears. best. Above all, do not appear to others what you are not. If you have any fault to find with any one, tell him; not others, of what you complain. There is no more dangerous experi ment than that of undertaking to be one thing to a man's face, and another behind his back. We should live, act and speak out of doors, as the phrase is, and say and do what we are willing should be known and read by men. It is not only best as a matter of principle, but as a matter of policy. . Congressional Proceedings. • . W•5111110TON, February 21, 1849. SENATE.—Mr. Bell continued his remarks in support of the amendment offered by him, which simply provides for the admission of California. Oregon and New Mexico into the Union as States, illative sow a c nsolidated State until such time as by local L islative action, it is divided into separate ' onwealths. The local officers to be ap " by the President. Mr. Dell spoke two ith great effect, showing the propriety !Isity of organizing a government for the new territories without delay. He contended that the creation of a State as provided for in the amendment was constitutional. He also argued to show that such an amendment could be en grafted on this bill. Mr. Berrien next spoke. He warmly denounced Mr. Bell's proposition, and his mode of Introduc ing it, as being a departure from _ all parliamen tary precedent and propriety. He replied at length to Mr. Bell's remarks and took exception to some positions in respect to the action 'of the Judiciary Committee on this subject. The yeas and nays were ordered on Mr. Dell's proposition, when it was rejected by a vote of yeas 4, nay,s 39. Mr. Webster, after some preliminary remarks, offered a paper, to be hereafter submitted as an amendment to the General Appropriation Bill, authorizing the President to hold possession of California and New Mexico; and for the purpose of mainta i n i ng authority and preserving order in , the said - territory; he be also authorized to em ploy the army and navy for that purpose.

Mr. Strohm presented a petition of citizens of Lehigh county, Pa., praying for a modification of the existing revenue laws. Small Credits vs. Cash.----One of our exchange papers gives its readers the following sound advice gratis. If people generally would profit by it, many vexations and annoyances in busi ness might be avoided There is no economy in small credits, and large ones are frequently disadvantageous. Pay as you go, was a good rule in the days of the sage and philosopher, Franklin,emd time and experience have made it even more apparent in our own day. Credits, when they are used in the shape of capital, are sometimes useful, but, as a general thing, in small every-day operations, it is wiser to wait the means to pay what you may feel a desire to buy, than to buy and wait for the money afterwards to pay with. Ten to one the inconvenience of waiting for the desired article will not be found half so great as the trouble you cause your creditor in afterwards waiting for the money. Pay down" is our motto, and may be that of every man in health, if he but begin right." The Farmer.—He is a public benefactor, who by the prudent anti skilful outlay of his time and money shall make a single field yield permanent ly a double crop, and he that. does this over a squire mile, virtually adds a square mile to the national territory, nay, he does more, he doubles to this extent the territorial resources of the coun try, without giving the state any larger territory to defend. All hail, then, to the improvers of the soil ! Health and long life to their fortune ! May their hearts be light and their purses heavy ; may their dreams be few and pleasant, and their sleep the sweet repose of the weary ! May they see the fruits of their own labor, and may their sons rear still heavier harvests ! Anecdote of Mr. Fegely.—Parties in the Penn sylvania House of Representatives are tied—that is, the Democrats have fifty and the Whigs fifty. Every Democratic vote was therefore important, and much alarm was felt lest Mr. Pegely, of Berks county, would not attend from sickness. He was there, however, and his friends tell the fiillowing anecdote, which shows a spirit of fidelity to his friends and party worthy of the noblest cause.— Some friends remonstrated with him upon leav ing home, stating that he endangered his life by starting at an inclement season, in his state of health. His reply was, I may as well go as stay; if I go I may die, but if I stay the Democrats will be defeated, and that would certainly be the death of me."—Ex. paper. Prize Pighters.—The practice of prize-fighting has grown into such favor - in this country that it is said, two heroes of the ring in England are about to visit us : Ben Caunt and Wm. Bendigo. The first is not less than six feet three inches in height, and weighs 200 pounds ; the last is only five feet ten inches, and weighs 150 pounds ; but has beaten Caunt in a contest upon which 1000 guineas were staked. Bendigo is said to be a nickname, the real (lame of this redoubtable in dividual being Wm. Thompson. He is reported to have taught Hyer the mode of fight which won him the victory over Sullivan, and is now am bitious of the fame of his pupil. The police should be on the watch to cool the pugnacious ness of these gladiators.
