V. B. PALMER, Esq., N. W. corner of Third
and Chesnut streets, Philadelphia, and 169 Nas
sau street, (Tribune Buildings,) New York, is
our authorized Agent for receiving advertise
ments and subscriptions to the Lehigh Register
and collecting and receipting for the same.
lar We invite the attention of our readers, to
the sale of the real estate of Mr. James S. Lee,
which is to come of on Friday next, the 2nd
of November. The property is situated in the
south western part of the borough, and will be
sold whole or in lots, as it may suit purchas
ers. The buildings are nearly new, very con
venient, and the lots have on them the best of
fruit. It is worthy the attention of capitalists.
127" We would further claim the attention to
another sale of real estate, on Saturday next;
the property formerly owned by the Rev. Mr.
German, deceased, Thie- is also a very valua
ble estate. The buildings are new,.and put up
with a view solely to convenience. The lot
is planted with the best ot fruit trees and grape
vines. Persons wishing to purchase property
in Allentown, will do well to attend the above
sales.
An Extra
We this Week issued a quarter sheet extra
filled with advertisements, which enabled us
to fill the whole of our first side with interest
ing reading matter, to whidh we would draw
the aitention of our readers.
Reported Bank Failure
The New York Tribune of Monday last, has
the following notice :
"The agent of the Susquehanna Bank, in
Wall street, stopped redeeming to-day, and
50 cents is the best price offered for the notes.
The amount afloat here is considerable. An
express was sent to the bank this afternoon,
with a considerable amount of notes for redemp
tion. This bank has recently changed hands,
and the failure is probably a bad one. Thomp
son's Bank Note Reporter, which put the pub
lie on its guard against this bank, also recom
mends that the public should not receive the
notes of the Salisbury Bank, the State Bank
of Morris, N. J., the Exchange Bank, Wash
ington, D. C., and the James Bank, of this
State."
We would also add that of the Delaware
City Bank, which has for some time been in
bad repute, and as the saying is "doubtful
things are very uncertain," we would advice
our friends to keep hands off.
The Next Congress
The gain of a Democratic member of Con
gress in Maryland leaves it entirely uncertain
which of the two parties will have a majority
in the House of Representatives. If the elev
en members yet to be elected should be of the
same politics as those representing the same
districts in the last Congress, there would be,
in a full House, a Whig majority of one. The
parties now stand 113 Whigs, 107 Democrats.
To be elected 11, which in the last Congress
were divided 8 Democrats and 3 Whigs. If
these 11 should be politically of the same char
acter, the House will stand 116 Whigs, 115
Democrats. The States to elect are Mississip
pi and Louisiana, with a vacancy in Massa
chusetts, which it is doubtful, if it will be filled
at all, and one in Virginia. The first was rep
resented in the last Congress by a Whig, and
the latter by a Democrat. The Massachusetts
vacancy will, if filled, be by a Whig.
The Late Foreign News
The recent news from the old world leaves
us in a fearful uncertainty for the future. Will
Russia make war on Turkey because the
"Grand Turk" is Christian enough to shelter
the Hungarian republicans from murder at the
hands'of the Russian Emperor? If yes, then
all Europe and some of Asia is plunged in a
grand war.
The finances of tho loading nations of the
old World, and, in a measure, of this country,
must be affected by the doeisicin of Russia.
Already capitalists are looking for American
Stocks, and our market is getting quite cleared
of the most desirable kinds.
By a recant publication in the Tribune, it is
shown that one-third of our government indebt
edness is already held in Europe; and the
amount now going abroad is not less than
$lOO,OOO per week. If France and England
becqme involved in the TurkiA controversy
* whir Russia, our relations with thotte nations
will surely remain amicable,• hence we may
fairly count upon high prices and great activi
ty in all departments of business.
MTh° Post Master Getieral has established
a new Post Office, at Zionsville, in Upper Mil
ford township, ,Lehigh county, and appointed
Charles IV. Wieandf,.Esq., as Post Master.
Also a new Office at Cross Kill Mills, in
Berks county, and J. Netecoinb, Esq., appointed
Post Master.
The American Literary Gazelle and Lan
e:tater Farmer.—We notice in the last number
of this valuable exchange paper, published in
the City of Lancaster, that the enterprising
publisher, has secured the services of Mrs. Ly
dia Jane Pierson, one of the most celebrated fe
male writers in the country, who in connection
with. the present able editor Mr. Albert J. Wil
liams, will in future conduct the editorial de
partment of the paper. With such talent in
store, the 'paper cannot fail to' become one of
the best published in the State.
For the Lehigh itegister.
Youth and Age.
Human life is a.series of develepements,
and at each period some new, power is unfold
ed ; new experiences are likewise added, by
Which means not only are old prejudices fre
quently-corrected, but the errors of our former
conduct exposed, condemned, and punished.
Youth is proverbially rash, bat The aged may
show an equally dangerous rashness in hold
ing doggedly to old and worn-out notions.—
Accustomed to venerate what has existed for
generations without challenge, the olderclass
of persons are prone to oppose the slightest
attempt at modification, and they suffer ac
cordingly. Many a warning, in the course of
events, is received; yet age is obstinate, and
persists in the old course—not because it is
right, but because it is old. The association
of ideas, sympathy, determination of character,
a sense of pride, while it recognises the
peril, and other liko motives, induce ago to,
disregard the symptoms, and inspire it with
courage, to endure martyrdom, rather than in
cur the shame of a submission to change.—
Thus the inveterate controversialist will not
confess a proven truth though convinced.—
Meditating these facts, we are sometimes
tempted to believe,. that if the prudetice of
age could be added to the impulse of youth,
a great advantage might be gained for the in
-dividual. But a - difficulty exists agamat blend
ing them in one and the same person. Hap
py, however, is the man who benefits by the
dear-bought experience of his elders; who,
duly influenced by the example of those who
are not only aged, but also, good and wise,
has learned, without suffering, what to avoid,
and what to pursue. The counsel of a sage
mentor in a parent, grandfather, or great un
cle, cannot fail of being advantageous in many
important respects; but on the other hand,
there are many counterbalancing disadvan
tages; the young are enterprising—the old
prefer safety to victory, peace to anxiety. In
advising youth, old persons accordingly re
gard rather the dangers to be escaped than
the object to be attained. This, in the way
of caution, may, must be well ; but if it amount
to coercion, even in the slightest degree, it
cannot fail to have evil consequences. If in
stead of persuading or guiding the judgement,
it should substitute a control upon the volition
of the young, it will fatally preclude action,
stopping it at its very source. We have not
in such a case, combination, but mere dis—
placement : young impulse is altogether put
aside, and antique prudence takes exclusive
possession.
Among the many advantages derived from
a frequent intercourse with the world, may be
mentioned a knowledge of character, to which
we should otherwise be total strangers. We
do not mean a knowledge of those characters
only who are present, and with whom we
converse, but of others who are absent and
become the topic of discourse in the existing
circle.
Never yet was• there a woman really im
proved in attraction by mingling with the
motley throng of the beau monde. She may
learn to dress better, to step more gracefully ;
her head may assume a more elegant turn,
her conversation become more polished, her
air more distinguished; but in point of attrac
tion she acquires nothing. Her simplicity of
mind departs; her generous, confiding impul
ses of character' re lost ; she is no longer in
clined to interpret favorably of men or things
—sue listens without believing—sees without
admiring; has suffered persecution without
learning mercy; and been taught to mistrust
the candor of others by the forfeiture of her own.
Senate and House
Hon. Win. F. Packer of Lycoming county, is
recommended by a number of our Democratic
exchange papers, as Speaker of the Senate.
This gentleman has filled the same chair in the
House,. with much dignity, and we have no
doubt the popularity he has gained as presid
ing officer in the House, will go far to advance
his chance to the same office in the Senate.
For Speaker in the House, we see the names
of Hon. J. M. Porter : of Northampton, J. N.
Cunningham and Andrew Beaumont, of Lu
verne, and several oilier gentlemen mentioned.
No better selection we think could be made
than Judge Porter. As a Legislator he is ex
perienced, and in point of talent and as a pub
lic dctmator, is not excelled by any member in
the House. Mr. Porter, we have no doubt,
would prefer being on the floor when his ser
vices would be more benefiCial to his cause.
The Tariff, and Specific Duties.
It is said by Washington borrespondenis :
who pretend to be well informed, that Mr.
Secretary Merredith is understood to be engag•
ed in preparing a laborious volume upon the
Tariff in which ...he argues in favor of specific
duties: He has written to all thecollectors for
information upon this, and kindred subjects.
We have reason to believe that the Report of
Mr. Merredith will fully satisfy the people of
Pennsylvania, and meet the views of fair and
adequate Protectionists in every section of the
Union. When the Message and accompany
ing documents reach the • next Congress, we
shall then know whether there is or is not to
be a compromise upon this subject.
Consolidation.
They talk of consolidating the city and coun
ty of Philadelphia. Sectional jealousies lead
to a lukewarm performance of duty on the
part of the police authorities. Several serious
riots have - tiiken place, and the offenders have
not been brought to justice, because the city
police and the district police are engaged in
discussing a question of jurisdiction. They
want somebody to say—"Pll take the reipon
sibility."—Dem. Union.
Indiana Convention.—The vote at the recent
election, in Indiana, in favor of a convention to
revise the Constitution of the State, was 81,500,
and the vote against the. convention, 57,418. .
Kentucky State Convention.
Judging from . the resolutions offered, and
propositions made, in the Kentucky Conven
tiim. now sitting, we infer that the new consti
tution, when completed, will - be essentially
ditlerent from the present one, and vastly more
Republican. If is likely that the judicial and
all other officers will be made elective ; and
there seems to be a disposition not only to do
this ; but to limit the enjoyment of judicial ap-.
.pyintments to a definite , number of years—
eight are proposed. It seems, therefore, that
the fallacy, that judges must be in for life, be
appointed by the executive, and be indepen
dent of the people, is likely to find no favor in
the Convention; and we know not why it
should find any. We cannot understand why
an elective judiciary may• not be as able as
pure, and as•independent, as one of executive
manufacture. Wherever the experiment has
been tried, it has been found not only to an
swer,
but to answer well.
The question-concerning slavery will only
be, whether the legislature shall be left free to
legislate on the subject, in connection with
emancipation in any shape, or whether -the
power to emancipate shall be reserved to the
people, and that they can only do so by form
ing another constitution,
Steadiness of Purpose.
In whatever you engage pur.stie it with a
steadiness of purpose, as though you were de
teimined to succeed. A vacilating mind nev
accomplished anything worth naming. There
is nothing like a fixed, steady aim. It digni
fies your nature and insures your success.
Who have done the most for mankind? Who
have secured the rarest honors? Who have
raised themselves from poverty to riches?
Those who were steady to their purpose. The
man who is one thing to-day, and another to
morrow—who drives an idea pell-mell this
weekwhile it drives him the next—is al
ways in trouble, and does just nothing from
one year's end to the other. Look and ad
mire the man of steady purpose. He moves
noiselessly along, and yet what wonders he
accomplishes. He rises—gradually we grant—
but surely. The beavens are not too high for
him, neither are the stars beyond his reach.
How worthy of imitation.
Duelling in Kentucky
We see it stated that a proposition has been
submitted to the Kentucky Convention having
for its object the suppression of the practice of
duelling. It proposes to prohibit all persons,
,both principals and accessaries, who may here
after be engaged in duels, trum holding any
office in the commonwealth. If such a provi
sion should be incorporated in the constitution
about to be framed, it woud doubtless have a
greater effect in suppressing the practice than
all the laws which have heretofore been enact
ed upon the subject.
Old and New Members.
On looking over the list of members elect to
the next House, we observe that there are
twenty-four members elected to the Legis
lature, who were members of the last
House. In addition to these there are some six
or eight who have been members of the House
at some former 'period. Amongst the new
members we notice that there are several gen
tlemen on both sides possessing great talents
and abilities, so that we may expect the House
to compare very favorable with preceding
Houses.
Ohio
The Senate in this State, consists of 36 mem
bers; 16 of whom are IVhigs, 16 Democrats,
and four Free Soil. The free soil men are
Messrs. Swift, Beaver, Blake, and Randall-,-.
the first of whom was a Democrat, and the
three latter Whigs, before inoculated with free
soilry.
The House consists of 72 members; 33 of
whom are Democrats, 31 of whom are Whigs,
6 Free Soilers, anti two Independents. The
Free .Soilers are Messrs. Krum and Ensign of
Ashtabula and Lake, l'atton, from Clinton, Spel
man from Summit, and Riddle and Hutchins
from Geauga and Trumbull : Of these Messrs.
Ensign, Patton, :Spelman, and Riddle, - were
Whigs before taken of Free Soilry, and Krum
and Hutchins were Democrats. The Inde
pendents are Messrs. Johnson of Monroe, and
Minster of Butler.
Penns-Amnia Editorial Convention.—The Har
risburg Union gives a list of 33 newspaper ed
itors who have determined to unite in the ed
itorial State Corivention at Harrisburg on theBih
of November.
UTA California newspaper has elicited the
following speculations from the London Times:
Before us lies a real Californian newspaper,
with all its politics, paragraphs, and advertise.
ments, printed and published at Bab Francisco.
on the 14th of last June. In a literary or profes
sional point of view, there is nothing very re
markable in this production. Journalism is a
science so intuitively comprehended. by Ameri
can citizens; that their most rudimeithry efforts
in this line are sure to be tolerably successful.
Newspapers are to them what theatres and cafes
are to Frenchmen. In the Mexican war the oc
cupation of each successive town by the invading
army was signalised by the immediate establish
ment of a weekly journal anti of a 'bar' for retail
ing those spirituous compounds known by the
generic denomination of 'American drinks.'—
The same fashions have been adopted In Califor
nia, and the opinions of the American portion of
that strange population are already represented
by journals of more than average ability and in
telligence.
Culture of the Grupe.—lt apritrs from an ar
ticle in the .Adler; that there are in forks coun
ty 240 acres of land, devoted to the culture of the
grape. The•kind principally planted is the Isa
bella, from which an inferior kind of wine is
made, which forms quite a common drink in
,Iteadin:7
of the small lakes with which that section of
country abounds, and blasts and puddling fnrna
ces erected, and heavy trip-hammers. A new
furnace is at this time in process of erection, to
meet the increasing demand for accommodation.
The ore is here converted into bar iron and trans
ported to the Company's works in Jersey City,
to be manufactured into steel. Its adaptedness
to this purpose was ascertained by Joseph Dixon,
Esq. of Jersey City, after a protracted series of
experiments made with reference to that object.
He succeeded in the use of anthracite—supposed
by experienced English manufacturers impossi
ble and then applied himself to the manufacture of
black-lead crucibles possessing sufficiently pow
erful refractory qualities to withstand the heat of
anthrfitite furnaces. In this too he was success
ful, and his pots are now in use in England and
elsewhere, by the first artisans. As the result of
all this, the Adirondac Company set about build
ing furnaces &c., in Jersey City, under his direc
tion, at an outlay of not far from $150,000. In
these, the steel is broken into small pieces, and
put into sixteen crucibles of a capacity of forty
to 60 pounds, which are placed in as many small
furnaces whose tops are even with the surface ,
of the floor. After the laps of two hours, their
molden contents are poured into Ingo-moulds of
various sizes. The steel is than readily drawn
out upon being re-heated, under heavy hammers
into bars of any desired shape or size. Ordina
rily, four heats are obtained from these furnaces
daily. The English procure three per day, with
difficulty. The steel thus manufactured is now
largely in demand, and its superior qualities are
abundantly testified to by the proprietors of the
Novelty Works, by Secor & Co. and many others.
We understand says the Reading Journal, that
a serious riot occurred in this city on Monday
evening, the 22d ult., at the conclusion of the per.
fbrmances of Spalding & Rogers' Circus, between
the attaches of that concern, and the more rowdy
portion of our own citizens. There are various
accounts with regard to the origio of the linens
—one that the attack was premeditated on the
part of the Reading 'b'hoys,' and another that
the men belonging to the circus manifested a
bullying spirit and provoked the attack by seve
ral flagrant acts of Violence. However the af
fair originated, it seems to have been quite a se
rious one. In - the melee -stones were thrown,
canvass and ropes cut, wagons battered and
heads bruised. The circus men finally resorted
to fire arms; one or two shots were discharged,
without effect, and a man named Samuel Fretz,
so severely beaten with the butt end of a musket,
that he is not expected to recover.
Our 'efficient police' from all accounts main
tained an 'unarmed neutrality' while the fight was
going on—not even showing 'fair play' to the
belligerents. Like the'•devoted' woman, whose
husband was struggling with the bear, they were
disposed, it seems, to let things take their course,
without caring much which party came off vic
torious.
Mr. Elias Bickel, of Centre township, Berks
county, who has given much of his attention
to the progress of the culture of the Vine in
Berks county, gives our neighbors of the 'Ad
ler' an estimate that' in the townships of Cen
tre, Richmond, Windsor, Bern, Penn, North
Heidelberg, Cumru and Alsace, and also in the
neighborhood of Reading, an aggregate of not
less• than 246 acres of ground are planted in
Vineyards: Besides these, there. are Miters
laid out in.Brecknock, Oley and other parts of
the county.—Reading Gazdte.

American Manufacture of Steel.
The following interesting description of the
successful manufacture of steel, at prices which
compete with the English article, and in "quality'
superior for some purposes, is from the Journal
of Commerce, It shows what union of energy,
economy, judgement and enterprise may effect in
difficUlt and expensive branches of manufaCture,
with the aid of a little Government protection.
Steel is an article that enters into the composi
lion of, the implements, or the materials, or both
of almost every useful occupation. Its instru
mentality is every where conspicious. Yet; there
is scarcely'an essential of National supply in
which the American people are more deficient.
To supply our wants, we must needs resort to the
markets of the English, and they to the ore-beds of
Sweden or Russia. From native iron, they man
ufactuie comparitively little steel. With the ex
ception of the Ulveestone charcoal—iron, no bars'
are manufactured in Great Britain capable ofcon
version into steel, at all approaching in quality
that from the Madras,Swedish and Russian irons,
so largely imported for the purpose. Yet we,
with a great variety of magnetic ores embosnm
ed within our own cliffs, some of them fully
equal to the best Swedish .
have, until very re
cently, failed to compete successfully in our
own market with the imported article. Various
attempts had been made, but Without success un
til the establishment of the Adirondac Steel
_ Worics_in_Jersey City.- Although these — works
are comparitively in their infancy, having been
in operation only since last January, the article
produced is preferred, at the same price for many
purposes, to the best English cast steel. Follow
ing up a suggestion, received while examining
some sprciments from these works, exhibiting
at the present Fair of the American Institute,
we have recently visited, and are consequent
ly enabled to speak of them from personal notice.
The ore used is procured from Essex county,
in this State, at the sources of the Hudson, at an
altitude of 5,000 feet, among the Adirondac
Mountains, and about 50 miles West from Lake
Champlain. Large expenditures have been
made by the proprietors, Archibald Mclntyre, of
Albany, Archibald Robertson, of Philadelphia
and the late David Henderson, of Jersey City,
for the purpose of developing the immense min
eral resources of that region. The quantity ex
posed is greater than can be consumed for cen
turies, and is worked like an ordinary granite
quarry. A valuable water•power was obtained
by damming up the embrochures of one or two

Degrees of Consanguinity
Various speculations and disquisitions have
been had, as to the mode of reckoning and na-•
ming a degree of consanguinity. All Authori
ties agree we believe, that cousins of every
grade whether first or fiftieth, must stand in
the degree of descent from the common ancestor.
We have heard it contended, that the child of
one's cousin, should be denominated a cousin
nephew or cousin-niece and the analogy of nom
enclature would indicate that the cousin of one's
parent should be called cousin uncle or cousin
aunt.
The Newark Daily Advertiser contains acorn
munication, whiels determins the question as fol

That to constitute a new grade of cousinship
there Mint be a change of consanguinity on
both sides—or, as it is. expressed in England,
there must re a remove on both sides. The chil
dren of parents who are cousins are second cous
ins, the children ofsecond cousins are third cous
ins—but when the relatirinship is changed only
on one side—(as in the connection between a
child and the first cousin of his parent) is a
first or second cousinship 'once removed.' Thus
the relationship between the grand children of
one brother,. and the great-grand children of an
other would be that of second cousins once re
moved ;—the grand children of bi-others, being
second cousins and the great•grand•children third
cousins."
Chicago and Milwaukie
The increased population and trade in these
two cities will appear from the following statis-
In 1840 Chicago had 4,853 inhabitants—in
1848 it contained 19,725. In 1843 there were
shipped from Chicago 828,565 bushels of wheat
and 10,785 barrels of flour—in 1848 only five
years later, there were shipped 2,160,000 bush
els of wheat, and 45,200, barrels of flour. The
first shipment of wheat wasin 1839, and the first
export of beef wail in 1838. In 1848 the export

The Cherokee Nation.—The Cherokee Adver
tiser of the Ist of October says :—to-day, our new
-1 ly elected members to our National Council or
Legislature will meet and qualify, and organize
themselves ready for business; after which they
'will be ready to receive the message of the prin
cipal chief, which may be published to the peo
ple at a proper time. The nation is now bless
ed with peace and harmony, and the greater por
tion of the farmers are raising a competency of
the staff of life and other produce necessary for
the sustenance of nature. Our common schools
are in successful operation throughout the na
tion, so that many of our children are now in a
condition to enter the seminaries for further ad
vancement in their education—while others of
our citizens have been improving their country
with the erection of machinery of ohe kind or
other—such as saw and grist-mills, &c. And to
Compare our condition now with what it was
some twenty or thirty years ago, one would hard
ly suppose that we were the satne people—but
we are Cherokees yet.,

Elopement at Trentan.—A respectable farmer
of Ewing, rushed into the Philadelphia train at
Trenton, on Saturday, Ike 20th of October, just
in time to rescue his daughter, not yet 18, on her
way off with a young man who had been at work
for him. On examination before the Mayor, the
parties alleged a marriage before Justice Yard
ley: The unreconciled father determined • to ar
rest the rejoicing groom for debt, and while out af
ter a warrant, the young man escaped beyond his
reach.
Population of .11iinesola.—The birth places of
the members of the Minesota Legislature may
give an idea or the places whence the population
is derived. We find the following record.
From New England, 8; Canada, 4; New York
3; Pennsylvania, 2 ; Michigan, 2 ; Ohio, 1; New-
Jersey, I; Virginia, 1; Missouri, 1.
We may presume from this, that the popula
tion will be drawn, almost entirely, from the ex-.
treme North, corresponding in climate .with that
of Minesola. Emigration in the United Stste.y.
with a few exceptions, moves on lines of latitude.
The Coast Survey.—The National tntelligencer
states that letters have been received from Lt.

11,000,000 pounds of lard will be run into lard

of the hog, and will probably this year opperate
in this way on 30,000 hogs. This con cern alone
is expectedto to turn out this season 3,009,000 lbs
otlard. 3,000,000 lbs. of !ocarina have been
made in one year into candles and soap in these
