The New York Express says e Senate of this state has made a proposition in lation `to the kind of stocks to be used , as the b sis of circulating notes, together with New York alecks. The attempt to introduc r k U. S. Stocks has so far succeeded, that one half the securi- ties ; the Senate says, may be of that descrip tion. A privilege of this kind has become in dispensible to the State, if tho people wish to continue our present sound banking system.— Our State debt is rapidly approaching maturity and will be paid oil, thus withdrawing the ba- els of our bank circulation, and compelling the banks to reduce their facilities. The gradual introduction of other sound securities will ena- ble the banks to go on 'without interruption, and at the same time give the bill holders per- feet security. rirWhat a vast difference there is in regard to the revenue of the State works, and the management of the Banking System between Pennsylvania and New York: The latter state introduced the' free banking law about the year 1838, based upon New York and other stocks, ..Mortguges:.and Beads. Experience, hoWever, has proved conclusively, that, Bonds and Mortgaos, here not qie best securities for banking purposes—probably on account of the many . defective titles, the danger of op praising lands too high, and the expenses of turning this kind of property into cash to meet the notes in ease of a failure of abank, were urgent reasons for excluding such securities from the bill, which was accordingly done. Some years ago, Stocks of other States have also been excluded, so that if we are rightly informed, New York Slate Stocks form the only basis of the Banking law. The State improvements, lam ever. yield a revenue large enough to liquidate the entire debt, and in the same proportion it is yearly reduced, will reduce the banking capital of the State. order then, to remedy this, it is proposed to further amend the bill by adding one half 1 led States Stocks and thereby assist the pres ent banks to go on without any interruption. In Pennsylvania we Legislate upon the Cur rency Question in extremes. The Members of one party on the "Individual Liability" prin ciple, and the other advocating the "Old Sys tem,' both of which are rotten to the core. 'The first, if adopted, 'Would establish a mode of swindling by "act of Assembly".• Banking capital would go into the hands of doubtful• characters, and the public eventually defraud ed. In prove of this, we have only to point to the late Lehigh County Bank-540,000 are said to be in circulation, scattered throughout the Western States, and not a dollar was ever reaeemed in specie, after the Batik was clos ed, and this was the first Institution which had the Liability Clause fastened upon its charter. The old system depends entirely upon the honesty and fidelity of its officers ; if they prove reckless and dishonest the public will suffer—in the sphere where the notes of the Bank eirculatebesides this, there are many other objections that could be mentioned, still more dangerous, which do not present them ' selves to the public eye. We do not belong to that class of citizens,who believe that we can get along, without Banks, but, we do believe, that the present system of Banking ought to be radically reformed and es tablished upon an honest and firm basis. The Free Banking law, of New :York has effected this. Ohio has adopted it, and our Legislature should not adjourn without passing a sim ilar bill, and do away 'with the old and rotten systems. It will firmly establish the credit of the State, bring its stock to par value, 'create a contingent filed and eventually liquidate the state debt.

Republican says, —"As a composition, wo may point to . Gen. Taylor's Inaugural as a ;lode of elegance, conciseness and perspicuity. Its republican sentiments are a pure unclouded reflection of the primi tive faith of the republic. Its spirit is above all praise, as it is above all censure—so calm, so dignified, so high above the clouds and con theta of party passion -7. so purely American, that we might. without much °flint, suppose we saw the finm of MIA:, :ton descending amid the multitude, and once more addressing the words of wisdom, truth and' patriotism to iie countrymen" '- - ' Eleetricity and Cholera. It. has been proved beyond doubt, says the Scientific American, that our health and feel ings are greatly influenced by the variations of electricity in the atmosphere and .that those states of air which lessen the electricity of our. bodies are more or leas injurious. It is certain that a marked telatiOn between cholera and electricity has•been' observed during the recent epidemic in London; facts are exhibited in the reports of the Registmle General which claim to be considered as something more than mere confidence.—Thus during a period of eleven weeks, beginning with September 3, on com paring the number of Cholera cases with the amount of electricity existing in the atmos phere, it was found that in the first week the number of cases was seven, while electricity, could only be discovered in the air on two oc casions; in.the second week four cases, while the electrical state of the air was equally low; in the third week, three cases, with a little electricity in the air; in the fourth week, thirty cases, the electrical state being very low ; in the fifth week, forty-five cases with the same electrical deficiency; in the sixth .week, thirty four cases, electricity as before; in the seventh week, sixty-five cases, with a total absence of electricity; and in the succeeding weeks, while the number of cases varied from sixty-two to . twenty-one per week, scarcely a single indica -1 tion of electricity could be found. This re markable absence of electric phenomena ap pears to be au almost unique occurrence. And therefore the Electric Belt of Mr. C. Rogers, Jefferson, Michigan, which appeared in No. 17 of the Scientific American, anti the only one that we have seen constructed on true scientific principles, should claim particular attention. Three Catamounts killed. We learn from the Mauch Chunk Gazette, that three catamounts were killed last week in East Penn township, .Carbon county, by Mr. I Charles Rehrig: It appears that Mr. Rehrig was out one day not far from his-house, with his dog and gun ; and hearing his dog bark at several different places, at last found that he had pursued his antagonist hue a tree, where it was shot by Mr. Rehrig. One of his neigh bOrs hearing that he had killed a wild-cat, cal led on him and at once pronounced it a cata mount. Ile observed that the animal's nose and legs were scratched and bitten . ;lte told Mr. Rehrig, it was done by one of his own species; and advised him to go in pursuit of I it, which ho did on the day following, and re turned with two others. It is rather singular that they have not been discovered before, as it is thought they have lived in that vicinity for years. Mr. R. informed us that he had seen two others since. The largest measured two I • feet in height, and four feet six inches in length, from its nose to end of its tail. Good Advice John 11. Prentice, in his recent valedictory on retiring from the editorial choir, which he liad filled for 42 years, has the following: -"No man should be without a well conduct, ed newspaper; he is far behind the spirit of the age, unless he reads one, is not upon equal footing with his fellow man who enjoys such advantage, and is disregardful of his duty to his family, in not affording them an opportunity of • acquiring a knowledge of what is passing in the world, at the cheapest possible teaching. Show me a family without a newspaper, and I venture to say that there will be manifest in that family a want of amenity of * Sianners and indications of ignorance, most strikingly in ecintrast. with the neighbor who alloWs himielf such a rational indulgence. Young men especially should read newspapers. If 1 were a boy, even of 12 years, I would read a newspaper weekly, though I had to work by torchlight to earn money enough to yay for it. The boy who readti well, will learns to think and analize, and if so, he will be almost sure to make a man of himself, hat ing vicious indulgence, whiCh reading is calcu lated to-beget a distaste for." Correct Speaking We advise all young people to acquire in early life the habit of, using good language, both in speaking and writing, and to abandon as early as possible the use of slang words and phrases. The longer they live the more ditli cult the acquisition of such language will be ; and if the golden age of youth the proper season for the acquisition of language be passed id its abuse, the unfortunate victim of neglected education is .very probably doomed to talk slang.for life. Money is not necessary to procure this education. Every man has it in his power: He has merely to use .the lan guage which he reads instead of the slang which ho hears ; to form his taste from the best speakers, writers and poets of the coun try; to treasure upchoice phrases in his mem ory, and habituate •himself to their use avoiding at the same time that pedantic pre cision and bombast which bespeak rather the weakness of a vain ambition Man the poltsh of an educated mind. There is no man, how ever low in rank, who may not materially ben efit his financial condition by following this advice, and cultivating at the same time such morals and manners as correspond in charac ter with good words.

Subscription price S 3 per Annum, Death by Violence Dr. Adrian Loewen, of Oley township, came to a violent death on Friday night last at a frolick, held at Walnutlown. It appears that the deceased was addicted to drinking, and was there roughly handed by some rowdies, dragged into a corner and when the dance broke up found to be dead. The deed was at one time married to a daughter of J. Udree Snyder—a blind woman. She died sometime ago very suddenly, under such circumstances us to induce the belief that she was poisoned. The Coroner a c companied' by Dr. Cox of this place, left for Oley this morning. The body will be disinterred am) a post modem examination made.—Rend Journa ' New Application of Cloroform Mr. C. Spencer Bate, a dentist, xvrhing in the London Lancet, recommends a new way of employing chloroform to abate the horrors of tooth-pulling, which if his account be well founded, as we suppose it must be, will super sede the ordinary method of using it by narco tizing the patient. Instead being inhaled, the chloroform is to be applied directly to the nerve of the tooth, when necessary. It is ap plied on lint or cotton. It "causes the most violent pain to subside," says Mr. Bate, "soon after which the tooth may be removed with comparatively no pain." Here the plan is to stuptly the nerve of the tooth, instead of the ordinary method of administration, may render the use of cloroforrn by dentists much more • common that it now is.

Money at Interest Taxablefor Township Pur poses.—Considerable diverSity of opinion hav ing existed in some of the townships of Mont gomery county, whether money at interest was taxable for township purposes, an appeal was taken from the decisions of the supervisors of Gwynned and Worcester townships, and on an argument of the case, before his Honor Judge Krause, the Judge gave the decison in favor of the supervisors, and decided that money is taxable for township purposes. As considera ble difference of opinion exits in some of the townships of Lehigh, we note this decision for the benefit of all concerned. Advice in Poultry Keeping.—The principles upon which we rely for success in keeping hens, are, Ist, to have two breeds—a few to hatch and rear the chickens, and twice the number of everlasting,layers, as eggs are more profita ble than chickens ; 2d ; to get a hatch as early as possible in spring, and to keep them well; these never cast their feathers like the old birds, and if they begin to lay in autumn, lay more or less all winter; 3d, never to keep old fowls (none but favorite fowls ought to be kept more than two years ;) old birds lay larger eggs than pullets, but not near so many; 4th, to give them the best barley to be got, and as much as they could pick up once a day in summer, and twice in winter; they are' not only more profitable, well kept, but the eggs are better.--Eng/h.paper.

Legislative Proceedings. Hsnntsnone, March 14, 1849. The bill for the completion of the North Branch Canal was aken up. Mr. Ball offered an amendment which appro priates $1,200,000 from the Treasury for the corn:. pletion of the work, the amount to be borrowed from the Banks of the State in three annual in stalments, each giving ten per centum on the amount of its capital stock; the Banks having the privilege to issue small notes, countersigned and registered by the Auditor General, and to re ceive certificates of . the Loan to run twelve years with interest at two per cent. The amendment further provides that the en tire revenue of the work shall be appropriated to the payment of the interest and to the repayment of the loan, and the remainder is to be a sinking fund, for the extinguishing of the State debt. All coal going North on the Canal, to pay a toll of one cent rer mile. In case of the Banks declining to issue small notes, then the tax on their dividends to be in 'creased to 9 per cent. On all dividends of 6 per cent., 10 per cent on 7, 11 per cent on 8, and 12 I per cent. on all dividends exceeding 8 per cent. Those Banks applying for a recharter to pay fifty per cent on their interest capital, to be ap plied to the payment of the loan or to the Sink ing Fund, and to receive a certificate of State stock, bearing interest during the firstthree years at two per cent. during the three years afterwards 3, and after that 4 per cent. A debate arose on the amendment, and it was. finally carried—yeas 48, nays 42. Mr. Roberts then spoke iu opposition to the first section. Mr. Little demanded the previous question, when it was lost—yeas 41, nays 45. Mr. Eshleman offered a resolution that the Corrimittee on the Judiciary System be instruct ed to report a bill providing for a change of the Constitution, so as to allow but one session of the Legislature in two years, provided they are not convened in the meantime by the Governor. Bleeding Improper—an Admission The New York Journal of Medicine, the organ of the regular Faculty, thus argumentatively and summarily disposes of the practice of taking blood as a remedy in disease: An acute observer of disease and' remedy would perceive that an inflammation consisted in some disturbance of the circulation, and health consisted in the restoration of the circulation to its original condition ; the secret of-remedy would be found in the cause of the circulation. The b/cod is not the cause of its circulation; for the self-same quantity of blood may be in the vessels when i 4 does not circulate at all as when it does i most healthily, as daily instanced in concussions, epilepsy, &c. The taking away blood does noth ' ing directly but alter the quantity. Indirectly by taking away the fluid which con tains the life, we diminish the life itself, and the means of obtaining life—the respiration. Meed ing, therefore, diminishes the quantity of life.— Can a man have too. much of life? It matters not that from the days of Hippocrates down to now, bleeding has been adopted. It matters not that it relieves the tension, and of necessity, the pain, of an inflamed part; it does not act upon the part diseased, producing any change in its condition. How, therefore, can we designate it as a remedy ?" Meanness It has been universally conceded that Mr. Speaker Winthrop has, during the past session, discharged the onerous duty of his station with singular ability and justice. At the close of the session the House of Representatives very ap propriately passed a resolution, expressing warm thanks for his exercise of ability and impartiali ty. A member from Virginia moved to strike out the word "impartiality," and among those who voted for it was Mr. Palfrey, of Massachu setts. When the scene between Mr. Winthrop and Mr. Palfrey, at the opening of the session, is remembered, the meanness and malice of this vote wiltbe evident. Advice of Council There is a well known custom prevailing in our criminal Courts, of assigning counsel to such prisoners as have no one tp defend them. On one occasion, the court finding a man accus ed of theft, and without counsel, said to a law yer who was present: "air. 8., please to withdraw with the prisctber confer, with him, and then give him such coun sel as may be best for his interest." The lawyer and his client then withdrew, and in fifteen or twenty minutes the lawyer returned into Court. . "Where is the prisoner 1" asked the Court. "He is gone, your honor," said the hopeful le gal limb. "Your honor told me to give him the best advice for his interest, and, as he said he. ivas guilty, I thought the best counsel I could of fer him was to 'cut and run,' which hc took at once." Innocently Popping the Question. Charles," said a young lady to her lover, •there is nothing interesting in the papers to-day, is there, dear !"

Mr. Shields, Senator elect from Illinois,contending that Mr. S. should first take his seat, and the question to be disposed of afterwards: , After an animated debate, Mr. ilouglatils was sustained in the position which he tad Nsiumed. ' Mr. Shields was then sworn in and wink his seat. The question of his eligibility was•referred to a Select Committee of five. A message in writing was received from the President, at the hands of his Private Secretary, Colonel Bliss. The Senate then went into Executive session on the following nominations, which, under the rules, lie over one day. Clayton, of Delaware, Secretary of State. Meredith, of Penn., Secretary of the Treasury. Ewing,ofGhio, Sec. of the Home Department. Crawford, of Georgia, Secretary of. War. Preston, of Virginia, Secretary of the Nay . y. Collamer, of Vermont, Post Master General. - Johnson, of Maryland, Attorney General. Second Day.—After the uSnal preliminaries, on motion of Mr. Mangum, a resolution was adopted appointing temporarily the standing committees withoul a formal vote. Mr. Foote made a personal explanation in re gard to hii encounter with Mr. CamerOn on the last night of the late session. Ile admitted that slight blows had been exchanged, and expressed his regret that the dignity of the Senate had been violated through his 'rashness. The difficulty with Mr. Cameron he said had been amicably settled. The Senate then went into Executive session. during which the Cabinet nominations were all unanimously confirmed: Co!mid and Mrs. Bliss.—A correspondent writ ing from Washington, in speaking of the last levee given at the White House by Mr. and Mrs. Polk, says :—Mrs. Bliss entered late, escorted by her brother-in-law, the Hon. Jefferson Davis.— She was dressed with great simplicity and ele gance, and was the 'bright particular star' of the evening. Her hair was tastefully, though not elaborately dressed, and she wore a simple wreath of green leaves, which might have been woven from the abundant laurels brought home from the wars by her veteran father, and her gallant husband. Col. Bliss appeared in full uniform, and drew the eyes of all the ladies after him." On Listening to Evil Reports.—The longer I live, the more I feel the importance of adhering to the rule which I have laid down for myself in relation to such matters: «1. To hear as little as possible whatever is to the prejudice of others 2. To believe nothing of the kind till 1 am abso lutely forced to it. 3. Never to drink in the spirit of one who circulates an ill report. 4. Always to moderate, as far as I can, the unkindness which is expressed toward others. 5. Always to believe that, if the other side was heard, a very different account would be given of the matter."—Cartop 'The 31i4sissippi.—The Mississippi river runs through nineteen degrees of latitude, a space ex tending from the northern part of Ireland to tht; Rock of Gibraltar. At its source the winters have the rigor of those of Norway, and at its mouth the seasons are those of Spain. The fir and the birch grow about its northern springs , — and the palm, the live-oak, anti orange at the Balize.

Mr. Polk and family left Washington on Tuesday by the South ern line. At Richmond he was received in cere monious manner by the Legislature and people. Maryland U. S. Sena/or.—Benjamin C. Howard has been appointed by Gov. Thomas, of Maryland, a Senator of the United States, to fill the unex pired term of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson. Mr. Howard was a member of the last Baltimore Con vention, and took an active part for one .of his very moderate talents, in promoting the nomina tion of Gcn. Cass. He was also, for a number of years, a member of Congress from Baltimore. Corn by Weight.—Shippers and large dealers 'in corn at Baltimore are endeavoring to establish in that market the standard measurement of 56 lbs. to th'e bushel.
