Wilson, of this place, by means of false 'keys. The persons, as there Must have been more than one, from appearan ces; unlocked the front door, entered the Store deliberately seledied the finest and most costly goods in the Store. They' opened leisurely, it appears, every piece of Dress Silk, took off the paper covers, placed them carefully en a heap under the counter, in order, no doubt, that their depredations shoula not be discovered until the opening of the Store on the following Monday. The small boxes on the shelves were taken down and carefully examined, such that had valuable articles in them, were completely emptied, so that all the sewing silks, silk gloves, stockings, &c., Were missing, but the boxes were all carefully replaced. Among the many arti cles stolen, are the following: Turk's Sattin Dress Silk, Black Dress Silk, Blue Black Silk, Black Satin Striped Silk, Fig ured Dress Silk, Sattin Vesting, Silk Vesting, Silk Velvet, Silk and other Shawls, 4 pieces Black Cloth, (some of it fine,) Woolen Long Shawls. Upon entering the - store, on - Sunday morning, the front door lock did not work as usual, and Mr. Wilson had no little difficulty in opening. This however, did not create any suspicion, but having returned the previous evening from Phil adelphia. he intended to take a look at the fine goods in the Store, when lo! he found that they were all gone. The amount stolen, is over twelve hundred dollars. $2OO is offered for the detection of the thief Or thieves. Suspicion rests upon two strangers, who were lurking about town that evening, with a square bodied Caryall Wagon, to which n bay horse was attached. Thus far nothing has been discovered of the robbers. We trust however, they will yet be de tected, brought back, and properly punished. Eduoation Convention The National Common School Convention, assembled in Philadelphia, on %Wednesday the 17th instant, and organized by appointing Hon. Horace Mann, of Alassachusens, as President, Delegates from over twenty Stites were pre sent. The proceedings of the Convention were mated chiefly to the statements of the Dele gates, relative to the condition of public edu cation in the several districts, and to the dis cussion of various plans for furthering the im provement nod promoting the efficacy of the system of education by Common Schools. A number of eloquent addresses were delivered upon the topics incident to the business of the Convention. Resolutions were adopted for the appointment of Committees to organise a Na tional School Association, to prepare a Mem• oriel to Congress, far the establishment of n National Bureau of Education, to elicit facts on the, subject of School Attendance, and to - Consider the subject of School Architecture. A meeting of the Penn Sylvania Delegation was held in the Hall of the Controllers of the the Public Schools, on the 18th instant, fur the purpose of taking measures for the call ing of a State Convention of the friends of Common Schools. On motion of Wm. Mar tin, Esq.-, the Hon. Thomas .H. Burrows, of Lancaster, was called to the Chair, and Chas. Leib, M. D., of Schuylkill, appointed Secre tary. The President stated the object of the meeting, and.it was then resolved that a State Convention of the friends of Common Schools should be held in Harrisburg on the third Wed nesday in January nest. A formal call was then read, adopted, and signed by all the members of the delegation. The following committee of five was appointed to make the preliminary arrangements for the meeting of the COnverition :—Alfred C. Wright of Phil adelphia, Edward C. Biddle of Philadelphia, Benjamin Bannan of Schuylkill, John S. Rich ards of Becks, and C. IL Kessler of Lehigh. On motion, the President and Sr:r—osary were added to the committee. It was re. ,;ved that the Convention should be composed of dele gates elected from the several portions of the State, in the ratio of the representation in the State Legislature. Diagniqoent Carriage. One day last week. on our way up Hamilton sleet, we were invited to walk into the Coach making establishment of Messrs. A.. & R. Kra sner, opposite Hagenbucles Hotel, where we took a look at a two horse Carriage, the most splen did vehicle of the kind, I think we• ever saw. The taste • displayed in the mechanism of the running part, the art displayed in painting and trimming, all speak for itself, and fully recom mends the young and enterprising builders to the fashionable public, in this particular branch of business., The cost of the Carriage is $250, and belongs to Cul. Thomas Craig, of Carbon county. Union County Poor House.--The citizens of 'Union County, at the late election,deoided against the erection of a poor house, by a. vote of 2,750 10:910. The Telegraph The Telegraphic line between Allentown, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Easton, Doylestown and Philadelphia, is now in successful operation. Dispatches aro transmitted to and from all of the above places, with uncommon rapidity. The office is at present located in the rear of Mr. C. M. Rank's law office, next door above Moser's Apothecary Store. Persons from town and the country wishing to communicate, will find the operator, Mr. Thomas C. Jolly, a very plain and unassuming gentleman, whose prac tical experience as an operator entitles him to the confidence of the public. The business on this line thus far, has been quite prosperous, and promises to yield a very good per centago to the stockholders. Holden's Hake !Magazine.— The :November number is already received. Among the en gravings we observe that of Georgey, the Hun aria rwra itor,-accom pan ierl—bahrirt,deserip Lion of his conduct during the eventful war for Independence. Holden's' Magaiine is deserv edly one of the most popular, published in this country, also one of the cheapest. Iron Convention The great Convention of the Iron Interest which is to assemble in Pittsburg next month excites,as - it - properly - should, deep and gene ral attention. The Pittsburg American states the following as the topics upon which infor mation is desired : 1. The name of the furnace—of its proprie tor and his Post Office. • 2. Location ; dale of erection and capacity in cubic feet. 3. Days in operation in each of the last ten years and until Ist October instant, and also the actual tons of metal made in each ECM 4. Aggregate of labor, in days, performed in each year, including managers, clerks and operatives, and of their wages. 5. The yearly sales and net proceeds realiz ed, after deducting expeses of transportation, and of selling, discounts,. &c. 6. The annual consumption of agricultural products, and the. prices paid' pey bushel' for wheat, rye and oats, delivered at the lur- UM 7. If managed with prudent energy, and fos tered by a ready mai ket at reasonable prices, the number of tons of metal the furnace could yield annually, the aggregate of labor (in days) that it would require, and the amount of IMMI 8. Designate whether charcoal or coke is used for fuel, and whether propelled •by steam or water, and whether hot or cold blast is used. The furnaces of each county might report to a Committee, who should embody the infor mation in a condensed form, and thus save some labor in the Convention. New Era in Iron There has just gone into operation at Boone, ton, a: J., a Triple Chamber, the invention of Mr. S. S. Salters, of Newark, into the upper chamber of which good Iron Ore (any which does not turn out a great deal of slag) and of Anthracite Coal, pulverized and mixed, are placed, and, fire being applied, the coal is consumed and the ore- melted ; whereupon it is allowed to descend into• the next chamber, and thence into the next, (but not emposed to the air at any time, and finally drawn off' at the bottom, fully transformed into Malleable (wrought) Iron or Blooms, ready to be rolled or hammered as may be desired. It is assert ed by the patentees that good Wrought Iron, Poch as would now command €-15 in this mar ket, can be manufactured by this process at $.30 per ton. Some very fine samples of this iron.ore are now on exhibition at the Fair.— j N. Y. Tiitnenr. • Canada Annexation The people of Montreal favorable to the an nexation of Canada with the United Sures, have issued an address in favor of the project. The address is of considerable length, and brings up for brief discussion various remedies which have been proposed for the ameliora tion of the present depressed , and suffering con dition of Canadian commerce and industry. Alter pronouncing upon the ineffivietwy of ,those remedies to give to Canada permanent prosperity and-social harmony, the address de dares there is but one remedy, of all suggest ed, which deserves serious consideration, .but one to which the Canadian people can look with confidence as calculated to promote - the best interests of their country, develops . its commercial and industrial resources,-and ter minate those party animosities, jealousies, strivings and scenes of bloodshed which dis quiet and- degrade its present social system. This final remedy consists iii a "friendly and peaceable separation from- British connexion, and a onion upon equitable terms with the great North American Confederacy of Sover eign Slates." Without the consent of Great Britain, separation is considered neither prae-. ticable nor desirable. But the colonial policy of the parent State; and 'the avowals of her leading statesmen, leave then no longer room to doubt that it is the resolve of England to invest them with the attributes, amigo compel. them to assume the burdens of independence; and they deciare that it is weakness in them not to provide:against such intentions. There are no harsh recriminations against England., the peaceful. consummation of the object is alone sought. This temperate and considerate address is signed by 325 names, among.whom are Benj. Holmes, ionnerly Cashier of the Montreal Bank, now in. Parliament, and J. G. McKenzie, the leading Tory. Fifty are Libe rals and the rest Tories. Slave question in California.—The St. Louis Republican states that a letter from San Diego, California, dated August. second, says the slave ry question entered into the election, and that the anti-slavery ticket prevailed., Senator Cameron on Protection. MunmsTorezt, Sept. 26th 1849 Mr Damn Bin: • Very curtrmlly I thank you for your friendly attention in the transmission of the Pittsburgh Mercnry, wfierein some notice is taken of Pennsylvania interests„connected with my name, while a member of the U. S. Senate I avail myself of the occasion to express the I hope, that "as the signs of tlre times" portend la discussion of the tariff; during the approach ing session of Congress, there may be no ex citement; no party prejudices, or other false issues raised to influence the legislative mind of the country towards the adoption of measures adverse to the genetal interest. The tariff policy is of momentous importance to.all the great industrial pursuits of our coun try. The public good is the rule by which we should he guided in the performance of rein central Obit the le gislature should invariably direct all its delib erations. At un early day, I took lessons.in the school of Simon Snyder on this very ques tion of protection to the infant manufactures of the Union; and time has had no effect to change my views and wishes, which have been expressed in the Senate, in favor of the permanent establishment of a home market, as the only solid basis of tuitional prosperity. And here, I may add, it is very remarkable that all the Democratic governors of this Com monwealth, down to Gov. Shenk, have main tained ground in favor of protection. to home labor. Nine consecutive messages of Gov. I I Snyder are text books to sustain and cheer the sound portion of our Democratic friends, who will not surrender to the free trade doctrines of 13riiish capitalists. "We must command our own consumption and the means of our defence," has been the sentiment of Pennsylvania from the dawn of independence. And as a freeman, born upon the soil, I may be permitted to regard, with no ordinary solicitude, the onward prosperity of the iron, coal, and agricultural interests oh this State. The new settlements- being opened up in the - far - West, embracing the Territories of Tex as, California and Oregon, must of necesfity in crease the Surplus proiluce,of the soil. Upon ! foreign countries our farmers can never de pend with certainty for a permanent profita ble market: It is therefore the safest and wisest policy to create a home market for the farmer, by encouraging domestic manufactures, under such revenue laws as shall secure to the American mechanic the rewards of his la bor in his own market. Let the pauper labor of Europe continue but a few years to flood our country with the productions of foreign work shops, and if the past history of the world fur nish facts by which we may be guided in our deliberations on this subject, then I venture to predict that all the leading interests of Penn sylvania and of the Union—the iron, the coal, the wool, the flax, the hemp, the paper, the I hat, the sugar, and the gunpowder manufac tures, with others too tedious to mention, will be entirely ruined through the length and breadth of the land. The doctrine of "let trade regulate itself," is beautifully illustrated, if it were not destruc tive in its effects, by the present condition of the country importing immense quantities of British iron, although, we have at home, the raw material in abundance, industrious and skillful mechanics ; and ample capital to com mand' our own consutnplion in this respect. With these facts starring ns in the face, is it any thing short of an insane policy to•preach up free trade, to benefit the overgrown money changers of Great Britain, thereby wilt - king in jury to American labor. I feel a lively sensi bility on this subjert, and whether I am in er ror or not, I freely state to yon, that I look up on the permanent and prosperous establishment of free labor, in this country, as the most eflec- tual means, in the mysterious operations of po• liteal events, to subvert the thrones of hiarchies and• despots upon the continent of Europe, and to elevate the tnaAses of equal rights and na tional liberty, the destiny of mankind. These views !nand me whope., that every man who is anxious for the welfare of onr good old Commonwealth and for the integrity of the Union, will stand up forprotcction of American industry, on grounds of patriotism. We must be wholly indepentlant of foreign supplies; American labor must not be sacrificed to feed the squalid operatives of Great Britian. • Accept assurances of my sincere regard Your friend; Br.t The Mormons The latest accounts from the Salt Lake re gion inform us, that the Mormons have form ed a State constitution, which they have traits mined by-their delegate chosen by the Legisla ture, Almon %V. Rabin, with a view of submit ting it to the next Congress for its sanction. It is said to be liberal in its character, and• pro vides, above all, most carefully for freedom-of conscience and religious worship. The new State is called Dapra; signifying, in the Mor mon mystical language, the Roney Beei Which . is to be the national emblem, we suppose, us it was of Napoleon; and it is a very appropri ate one, we think, and in good taste. Whilst forming a constitution, the Mormons have allotted to themselves a very liberal share of the newly-nequiretlterritory, about 300,000 square miles. ; it is enid. But this, of course, will be subject to the final will and•discretion of Congress. Of course they tln not expect to get as much as they put in for: Bat in such cases it is usual to talc a good di:nth—Wash; ()Mc.- • - - • • English Superstition.

Liebig, the celebrated German cheat, ist r is said to be comiog•to this country. The California Excitement. The arrivals, and the gold from California influence the minds of our people, with the golden - narratives they firing, but more-partic ularly the gold heart. Some Who went out in Col. Stevenson's Regimeht witlibut a cent, come back with their thousands. Such wrehl• ization of golden visions am these naturally in . - flame enterprise, and a passion for adventure, which will be kept up for some timl3 - triebtrie. It is stated that when the Flon..r. Buffer gir: , and General Smith returned to San Franeiscu, from their visit to the mines, they estimated that there would be from twenty to forty mil lions taken from them the next twelve months, or over three millions per month average; but by the merchantS of San Francisco, this esti : mate is set down to be too high. Meanwhile, i ' the gold diggers rapidly increase in the mines. The rush to California is about es large as ever, ee-that-there - ban - be-no 2 deficit of - h - ands. - For example, August 30th, it is stated that there arrived in the port of San Francisco via Cape Horn, 900 paskingers from - the United States alone. The overland hordes were not in, but were daily expected, though, after suffering intense hardships. Such news as this cannot long be without its effect upon us. .and create more of a spirit of speculation than we have yet seen. Indeed, in Real Estate, as the winter approaches, and sales begin, there stems to be a movement as from a California impulse, if from Ito other source. If gold is to be plenty, and the value of money full, property of course, especially real estate, must rise—and they who purchase at . present prices, will realize still higher. In the uncertainty as to the produce of the mines, these considerations have had but little effect, but now, it is known, these mines may yield thirty or forty millions of dollars a year, prop erty, and especially real property, must receive an impulse from the Wt. When the poor boy Whittington heard the Lon don bells admonishing him' to return and be Lord Mayor, his liearrwas put upon• making a direct trial of his faith,, while at the same:time_ a glow of ambition warmed his heart. He had suffered all the ills of petty tyranny, and jade epair was about to adopt the life of it vagabond when the warning came to him; a new feel-1 ing instantly took possession of his - mind, and he resolved to makean effort on his own be half; he did so, and as the story goes, a little turn of good luck set him on the road to a for tune, and•eventually made him Lord Mayor indeed. Here is a moral for old and young. Let all those who have been kicked black and blue by the foot of misfortune, resolve to endure it no longer, but make a new effort. If one thing goes crooked, try another, and if need be, an other, but by all means have faith, be honest, and "keep trying," with a good heart, and firm resolution, and our word for it, you will suc ceed at last! The presence and enterprise of the people of the United States in the Valley of the Rio Gran de are already beginning to manifest their ap propriate fruits. The Brownsville, Texas, Flag gives gratifying evidence of progress on the Rio Grande. One year ago Brownsville was scarce ly thought of, and yet at the late election four hundred votes were polled in the town, and eight hundred, in the county, being a total of twelve hun dred. A government barge recently ascended the riv• er to Eagle Pass, seventy-five miles above Pres idio, and one hundred and seventy above• Lar edo. kb speaking of the circumstance the Flag remarks: ""The wealth of the Rio ❑ranJe is as yet al. most unknown. What a prospect, then, is be- fore us 1 Mr. Love, commander of the barge, says that he would stake his Itfe. and reputation that the river will be navigable fur 200 miles from its month when the impediments at Presi dio are removed, and that can readily be done at a trifling expense." The progress of Brownsville has had some ef fect upon Matamoras. Several spacious brick buildings are going up there, and a general sys tem of repairing is going on throughout the city. Arkansas Cazeilt. Provision Business ofihe West—The Cincinnati Price Current of that city publishes a tabular statement of the number and value of hogs and beef cattle in fifty-nine counties in Ohio, ls re turned for taxation by the Township Assessors, and , equalized by the county boards, for the years 1848 and' 1849. In these fifty-nine counties the total number of hogs was 1,336,367 in 1848 and. is 1,410,377 in 1849: In the same the number of beef cattle was 637,284 in 1848, and is 688,248' in 1849.

Mrs. Swisshelm on Marriage Marriage, in our opinion, is a union which would every hour be renewed, by the free will of both parties, provided the State every hour annulled it! Whenever two are really weary of each other, 'they are no longer married, and nobody can marry them—no combination of men can marry them. It is a base prostitution of the name and object of marriage, to bind two to live together contrary to the will of each, Nor can we see how society can possibly be benefiated by an arrangement, which compels the semblance of marriage, where the reality does not exist. • Many are of opinion, that if it were not for the stringency of the civil law, nearly all fami lies would be broken up, and society go into choas. We have no such notion. If a procla mation were made today, declaring every I marriage in the Union null and void, and leav ing it once more to the choice of the parties whether the relation be renewed, business would be suspended, newspapers would stop, stores, factories and woillshops would close. Tue ed itors would be all at home getting married. merchants, operators and mechanics Would, each be awaiting their turn to have the nuptial knot re-tied. Cross, .fretful, sickly wives, that had almost felt a burden before, would grow very dear once more, from the thought of sepa ration. Domineering harsh husbands would be forgiven, and in all cases where a spark of con jugal love remained, it would he blown to a !lame—where nothing but dead embers are, the ashes would be raken up, made into soap, and society cleansed thereby. Sc/molala riiginia.—A project to establish free schools in Albermarle county, Va., had been vo• ted down by the people, by a large majority. A writer in the Richmond Republican hopes the suject will never be brought forward again, to "disturb our harmony and social peace." Tall Trees.—Oregon is• the greatest lumber country in the world. Around one mill, within a circle of three miles, stands timber enough to fast a hundred years, the mill all the time cut ting 6000 feet a day.

Cisre fur Cattle swilled tv-Wi gieta food.—The common remedy for this disease among cattle is stabbing in the side. This is a dangerous as well as a cruel remedy. Olover and frosty turnips are likely, when eaten plemifully, to produce this disease among 'cattle.

A new Candidate for Admission. When all eyes have been turued to Can- • ada, Cuba and California, as the quarters whence new accessions to the number of * States already in the Union have to be look ed for, nobody has thought of finding a sis ter state in the heart of the great interior ba- • sin of California, which is comparatively an unknown country, has been looked upon al most as a desert, and is occupied by Mor- - mons_as_the_only_representatives of-civiliza•-•--- tion. These people driven out of the Uni ted States by intolerable persecutions have gone into that desert wilderness and estab lished a city and adopted a government, elec fed a representative to Congress, and asks to be admitted into the Union. ;It appears by a statement of the St. Lou is Republican that the new State is quaint ly styled the State of Deseret, which implies, according to the Mormon history and inter pretation, the "Honey Bee," and is signifi cant of Industry and the kindred virtues. A territorial convention drafted and adopted the constitution, which is essentially like those of the States of the Union. Members of the legislature are required . to he free white male citizens of the United States, and to take an oath to support the Constitution thereof. The first Senate is to consist of seventeen members, and the . House of thirty-five members. In the Executive Department provision is made for the elec tion of Governor, Lieut. Governor, &c. The judicial power is vested in a Supreme Court and such inferior tribunals as the Legisla ture shall establish. A Chief Justice and - two Associates compose the Supreme Court.. The declaration of rights provides. uThat all men have anatuml and inalieni- • able right to worship God according to this dictates of their own consciences, and the General Assembly shall make no law re- • spectin,g an establishnient of religion, or pro- • hibiting the free excercise thereof, or diner- • bing any person in his religious worship or ' sentiments—provided he does not disturb • ••' the public pence nor obstruct others in their religious worship." The Constitution was adopted on the 10. of March last, and the General Assembly met on the 2d of July. Millard Snow was elected Speaker of the House; Alfred Car- • rington, Clerk ; John D. Lee, Assistant Clerk ; and George D. Grant, Sergeant-at arms. The election of officers of the Gov ernment was held by the people on the Ist Monday of May, and Brigham Young, the leader of the Mormons, was elected Gover ner; Heber C. Kimble for Lieutenant Gov erner ; Wm. Richards for Secretary ofState ; Wm. Clayton for Auditor of - Public Ac- • counts; Jos. S. Heywood for Treasurer; Almon W. Babbit was elected a delegate to • Congress to represent the new territory. On the 9th, the legislature adjourned si- • ne die. Before doing so, they adopted a memorial to Congress. in which they set forth the reasons which have induced them to organize u State Government. They • cite the failure of Congress to provide a Gov- • ernment for the territory acquired from Mex- • - ico, the abrogation of the Mexican law the • anarchy which has followed.
