The Rail Road We republish the following extracts from a communication to the Philadelphia North American, a few years ago, by F. Roberts, Engineer of Mines. It clearly shows • the necessity of a Railroad communication both with the cities of N. York and,Philadelphia, by way of the Delaware, Lehigh, Schuylkill and Susquehanna, and those:of the south by way of the revival of a short route from Norristown, to connect the above line at Allentown. The Railroad from this place will run up the west side of the river Lehigh to the village of Le highton, where it intersects the Beaver Mead ow road. Four' miles further up the river at Mauch Chunk, it will connect with the Lehigh Company mines—the Buck Mountain, Beaver Mendow_and Ilazleton—and then by way_of the Quaquske and Catawissa road enters the east end of the great Mahonoy or Shamokin Coal Fields. Independent of those Coal tribu taries already mentioned, this road runs as it were into the very centre of the great Schuyl. kill Coal fields, am! will be — the means off rying at leant one-half of the Coal now trans ported by railroad and .canal_via Reatling_tt" Philadelphia; over this road—which will re duce the price of coal in the east materially, as the route is from 50 [to 60 miles nearer, and consequently the freight on coal comparatively 'educed. This with the many other ad vanta -ges this road would have over any other con structed in this State, is obvious to any one, who will take the trouble to investigate the matter for one moment. Mr. Rodgers also speaks of the necessity of a re-survey of the old route from Norristown to Allentown. This should be - not only talked 01, but pressed with all vigor by our Philadelphia Merchant:friendts, if they:are anxious further to secure to themselves the immense trade of northerns Pennsylvania. Burin the extract:: "The major portion of the Second or Middle, perhaps more extensively known as the Ma honey, or :Shamokin Coal Field, is, and has been down to the present time, (although it has long been considered an exceedingly val. itable coal formation,) shut out from market, (rem the want of short distances of Railway to connect it with the Lehigh on the East. lam of opinion that the means now being employed to make this very necessary connection, will be attended with success; and that in the course of two years, or less from the present lime, this unparralleled Anthracite formation will be opened to the markets of the Atlantic by direct Railway communications to Philadelphia and New York, via the new line of Railroad now being constructed through -the State of New Jersey to Easton on the Delaware, and from thence to connect with the Quaquako and Cat. awissa Road, which crosses and :runs along the North Boundary of the Second Anthracite Coal Region, and with the Beaver Meadow and Hazleton Railroads, which rim into the two Coal Basil's of that name, with the Black Creek and the other small Coal Basins of the vicinity, at the eastern end of the great filabanny Coal Field. In addition to these means r,f transit the small Coal Basins above named, with the east ern part of the Great Altillanoy, will, it is pre. sumed before long have another Railroad, (and a.highly important one it is) which %vitt con nect these very valuable Coal Basins, contain ing the most pure Anthracite in the world, with the city of Philadelphia ; for it is under r:on t trnplation to resurvey, and tiling into public notice forthwith the chartered line of Railroad to connect Norristown on the Schuylkill with Allentown on the Lehigh, The length of line of Road required to connect these two import ant manufacturing towns, is about 40 miles, ' through a country abounding in minerals of different descriptions—copper and lead, with hnemetite and magnetic iron ores. This line of Railroad will place the Coal formations at the eastern end of the Mahoney Coal Region nearer to the city of Philadelphia than many of the white ash collieries are in the Schuylkill Coal Region—the Coal may be mined cheaper in the former, than it can in the latter—and it is well known and justly appreciated as being of a far superior quality. For a long time past I have had a desire to key something of ihe great value of the second noel field, not only in consideration of the nu. a:irons strata of minerals it containsof coal and lion, but of the inestimable and incomparable pure quality of die coal, and the advantageous position of the veins for economical milling; and likewise of the geographical situation of the cool field for supplying, at as cheap rates as coal cah be supplied from either of the other iteo anthraci to regions of Pennsylvania, the ex .:tansive iron making establishinentsand mane ,factories on the Susquehanna and on the Le high, with the markets of Philadelphia, New York, !Boston, and the cities of the East, and those of Oaltimore, Washington and the cities• tai the South, But I have been detained from whiting thereon by the absence of sufficient data of actual workings and exploration in the coal veins to prove such statements as I should have occesicut to make, in giving a description of the geology of much an extensive coal field Who riecond • Antbrabi to region of this . Stale," The Fallacy of Free Trade We find the following article in the Wiscon sin Commercial Advertiser: "A Toronto (Canada) paper estimates the oriilus wheat crop of Canada at 7 ; 000,000 bushels more than that of last year, which was 4,000.000, making 11,000,'000 bushels." 'Western farmers may well ponder upon such.si statement as this, (true as it undoubted ly is) and ask themselves, what they are to gain by the free admission. of Canadian pro ducts, to compete with those of their own farms. Eleven millions of bushels of wheat for export this year, from :Canada ! That is something for the grain growers of .the UMled States to think of. The Free trade pre.sses gill soon begin to '_et their eyes open. When they:succeed in tearing down the home market, and to allow Canadian wheat to come hi free of duly, our. Lehigh county farmers will begin to "ponder" antrwill see the necessity of protecting Amer ican labor, whether it is employed in Agricul tural. or Mai ufinturing products. The above extract strikes particularly at the Farming in terest. - Election Returns New York.--It is considered neatly certain that the following State ticket, being the one adopted by Anti Renters, is elected: Governor.—Waz‘hington Hunt, w•hig.

New Diving Bell A newly iuvented Steam Diving Dell float is perforating tvonders on the western waters in . rescuing properly from Etuiken vessels. It has been at work ut the wreck of the steamer Charles Carroll, and in ' about three or tour weeks the entire cargo in the hull, consisting of some 4500 barrels pink rind lard, was taken out, and finally the hull itself was raised and removed from the channel of the river, to which it had formed a very serious obstruction. This extensive job completed, the boat pia• ceeded to the Ohio, where the machinery and boilers of a sunken boat were taken out. - Thence she was directed to the spot, a short distance below Cairo, where the steamer Nep tune sunk, thirty years ago, and with a dive of fifty-five feet, a number of articles were rescued, which were considered hopelessly lost.

' Election of Judges The amendment of the Constitution han been adopted by a vote approaching to unam imity. It is a very important alte ration. And like all changes in a fundamental law, to main? it work well will reqUire the utmost care and circumspection of the whole people, in starting it into practical operation. At the nest general election all the Judges ol the State have to be elected ; and every branch of the Judiciary, thus chosen supersedes the old one in December, 185 t. Every man iti the State entitled to vote ought to think of it anxiously; and commence at once the scrutiny for fit candidates. For he will perceive, that on him rests 'the duty of casitog his ballot, in October next, for five proper persons to compose the Suprema Court, as well as for President Judge and Associ ates for his own county and disuiet. To enable the voter to enquire as to suit able men, and select tmdtcrstandingly, he ought to adopt certain principlel to Wilde him' in . his choice. To form a correct judgement ol who would snit, the Standard requisites _Ol judicial character must be fixed in the milld with which to compare men as they are thought of or are brought into view as proper candidates. And now as to those qualifications fitting a man for a Judge :—The essential requisites are—first of all—honesty, undoubted integrity. Second, moral courage, firmness of mind and purpose ; the capacity to draw just conch:. sions uninfluenced by temporary clamor, or thought of self; the mental power to follow truth lead where it !nay. Third, strong com mon sense, that tact of judgement by which a man 01 well cOustituted mind, guides judi• ciously his own conduct. %Vid - int this fluent ty no man is fit fur a great public agent, and least cif all a Judge. The visionary, teamed or unlearned, SO far horn capacity to guide oth : ers, almost needs a guardian to keep himself from straying. These three, theo,—lionestyi - courafze, - eonr- - mon sense—are essentials. Destitute or defi cient in any one of these, no man is qualified to be a judge over the tights, liberties and prop. erly of his fellow men. The next thought subordinate are requisites to make a perfect Judge; and are three in number also. First, thorough legal training. Second, great industry. Third entire sobriety. The lira three are essentials, wanting which no man need be thought of, except to dismiss him from thought, as one of the number from, whom choices are to be made. The last three are requisites, though not ab solutely essential. A man pos , essed of the first thiee, might be a tolerable judge, without thorough knowledge of the fall'. lle would, if industrious, improve and become in a shrill tittle compe:ent; in a few years well vets ed in legal lore. Vet it is a qualification to be sedulous sought for, and obtained if possi b le. So too : a man without very great Indust') may get along. But he cant scarcely do hi duty as a judge. And it betokens a careless ness of consequences :liking therefrom, al'. proaelting to dishot.esty, to lark the toinisi.e industry in a jodicial station. Thy negative qualitieations ofrobriety need but be mentioned. Its orpo,ite is a species of insanity, sell•imposed. A man somctimes intemperate, may possibly be a good judge.— But it is a growing. unseemly vice ally where ; unpardonable on the bench, and tending to de grade the body and deprave the mind. A Call- Lions people would avoid such - a choice.—L«n ca,ster Examiner. Judge Berrien's Speech We learn hem the "Charlec.ten Sun" that Judge Berrien made a speech at Macon on the 16t instant, in which he declared that he could not desire that the Georgia V(3116,111 which will be kioon held, should propose on•iiiter course, as that would be an unePuitc.;iknial act, nor an import tax on goods of No:themi manufactures comin' info the State, as that' would be equally so. Ile thought that the best course the Convention could adept, would be to recommend, for the ratification of the pen. ple,, a law by which Notthem goods ; after they ' hail arrived itt Georgia, and had been deliver ed into the hands of the tr.erchants, should Le charged with a high and di , ctitninative tax.— The Judge thought that, by this measure, the importation of Northetn Goods would be great• ly abridged, Georgia manufacturers would be e:wouraged, and the Northern producer 6 vould be awakened to a sense of 'the po‘‘er of the South to protect their own interests. The views are nut at al! tell:lied by the Snn. It says : "The Judge, in his extreme desire to avoid the contemplation of f•ccestivn, has pe:mitted himself to efitenain propositions and theories' %%hose klly and fallacy would eke have been tippet ent to his vigorous and healthy unitid.— But at last lie Will have to look at this severe, we admit, but only certain remedy, with un lahei ing countenance, and nauseous as he may now choose to think it, he ‘s ill be compelled to bwallow the dose it he would save the body politic." XL:mdh.—We a re . mlot med, says the Easton Argus, that the Nazareth Moravian Society, has, in effect, abolished the ancient practice of con. fining the owner Ship of Lands in that village and neighborhood to members of the Society. A similar step was taken by the Bethlehem Socie• ty mime time • ago, and it had the effect of proving that borough at a rapid rate. We have no doubt it will give such an impetus to the growth of Nazareth, as to gratify even those u ho were prejudiced against the change. Gen. Scott.—Thc , •fleading Journal" says there are hundreds of papers that will be ready, when the proper time arrives, to run up the name of the distinguished hero of two wars; and dreds of thousands of people, from Maine to Tex as and California, who will respond to his nom ination with a shout of approval and an eager, steadfast determination - to do all in their rower to.promote his .T.nterestineßpminisoene: The Albany livening Journal of Salimlay, No rember Ist, has the following intetesting remit- MEM Twenty.five years ago this day the Erie Ca. nal was announced as navigable from Lake Erie .to the Hudson River. On the 26th of October, 1825, eight years and four months from the time the work,commenced, the Erie Canal was com pleted, and on that day the "Seneca Chief," with De Witt Clinton, , , then Governor of this State, Lieutenant, Governor Talltnadge.and7varions Committees on' board, left Buffalo fttr the flub son River. Along the entire line of the Canal, within hearing distance of each other, heavy ar tillery were placed, and the starting of the "Sen eca Chief" from Buffalo was carried to the City of New York as fast as sound could travel...and by the same means it was announced in Buffalo that this great event was knowto in New York. This was before the present mode of communi, eating information by telegraph had been known ; but the plan was so well executed that in one hour and thirty minutes from the firing of the first gun . at Buffalo, the echo was heard in New . :York — and - returned - to - Bufialo. It fta - s o day of great rejoicing throughout the State; and the arrival of the "Chiet'"at the various places along the line•was signalized with great pomp and splendor. Every city and village had pre pared its festival, and throughout the whole line, Iran the Lake to the Ocean, it was a voyage of triumph. On the second :of November the "Seneca Chief" reached this city, eight days front Buffalo, and on the fonrth site arrived in the city of New York. When' the fleet which was composed of the "Seneca Chief" anti several steam and other craft from Albany, New York, anti other places on the river, reached Sandy Hook. Governor De:Witt Clinton proceeded to perform the ceremony of commingling the %ra ters of the hake with the Ocean, by pouring n keg of Lake Erie water into the Atlantic, when he delivered the following address:—"This sol etnnity.at this place, on the first arrival of veso sels.froon Lake-Erie, is-intended-lo-indicate and commemorate the navigable communication which has been accomplished between our Med. iterranean Seas and the Atlantic Ocean in about eight years, and to the extent of more than four hundred and twenty-five miles, by the wisdom, public spirit, and energy of the people of the State of New York; and may - the God of the Heavens and the Earth smile most propitiously on this work, and render it subservient to the • best interests of the human race." Individual• Exertion It has occurred to us more tharLonce that the• reasons why so many individuals fail in life, and are always complaining of their ill luck. or at tribming their adversities to °something, wrong" i❑ the organization of society, is because they depend too little upon themselves and are 'con ; stantly looking to others. Nothing can be done n•iw without a combination ; whereas, all that is groper anti feasible, can be accomplished by individual talent, industry and exertion. The great argument against charters is, that they confer special privileges upon one class to the injury of individuals; and yet combinations, as suming to themselves special privileges, to which they force the rest of the community to submit, are common, and nut only tolerated, but advised and supported. A 'Serious objection to these latter combinations is that they destroy individual character, independence and enter prise. The members of these combinations lose their self.reliance, and gradually learn to lean entirely upon the society to which they belong. Besides they are taught to look upon society as an at iiticial scheme to oppress them, against which they unite and are continually to go arm, cd in order to enforce their natural rii:lo,; : Whereas, society is but an imperfect state of be ing, wheresonly little rest and peace can be ex. pecttil, except they arc derived from constant employment, undeviating virtue, and a self will ed contentment of mind. The idle and the wick• ed cannot be happy, whereas the industrious and virtuous will tit ver be called to beg their bread sod can stand upright before kings.

Astounding Freak of Nature • On Friday last, rut old -lady, aged 8l years, died at Lawrenceville, of a disea;..c of the bowels. A few days prior to her (loath, it was discoverq that a runtor existed in her abdomen, and on be• ing asked whether she was willing to have her holy opened after death, fir the purpose of as certaining the nature of that tumor, she assented. Accordingly, immediately 'alter her death, a post mortem examination was held, and a bony substance of an oval shape was removed. Upon sawing through this it was discovered that the ossified covering was but thin, and that witho; it was contained a fully developed filiode child ! So pet featly formed was the child in all its part:;, that no dillictitty, whatever, was found in decid ing a r ms its sex at once, and froth facts after wards learned, the woman must have carried that infant for furl} year.sl. The cireumAances irlticlt sustain this slippy, sition arc ti4se:—ller neice, with whom she lived n'p to the time of her death, distinctly recol• lects that at one time, her aunt supposed herself to be enriinte, and went so far as to make all the preliminary preparations foi the expected little stiauger; but to the a . .dunishment of all, the in• tint was never born. About this time her has- band died, and from that period Atiitil her death, her general health was good, and she experienc ed no inconvenience from die presence of the supposed tumor. The above statement is one of simple facts. 'I he roost astonishing part of the whole story is, that a highly respectable physi• ciao, assures us that the child bore signs of, at least, a probable recent tiring existence. We shall not comment on this matter, as we under- stand a full statement of the circumstances will soon be publishitl.=/..Pillebure; Jonntal,lof vein ber 4th. the bidiana constitutioritil Con. vention, the Committee on nights and,rrivileg ges of Inhabitantthave reported an ariicle pm.

Drilling in-Wheat The West Chester Record says that the Farm .ers of Chester and I:tificaster counties are begin• ning to use the drill quite extensively in putting in wheat. In the finest agricultural sections of Berks, where the land is even and well tilled, the new method is also becoming quite popular. The fields which have been drilled look very pretty, and those who have tried the old and new methods, generally give a decided preference to the latter. The New York State Agricultural Society claims a superiority fur the drill culture, as follows the first place,s pecks drilled is considered by it equal to two bushels sown broad, cast. 2nd. That it saves labor, as one man can put in from 10 to 15 acres in a day.- od. That wheat thus put in is not so liable to be winter killed, nor subject to the rust, becau‘e light and heat are adinitted betwern the runes, which operatc;s as a prevention—that a more vigorous. growth is attained, and consequently a ; greater yield in the'crop. From these recommendations we would con shier the matter eminently worthy the consider- ation of our liirmers. - -The -Michigan - Farmer - testifies - mhat w 0 lions of a wheat field were sewn at the same time, one with a drill, the other bread cai.t ; the drilicd portion presented afar more vigorous and luxuriant appearance, and although the wheat had not been cut, the difference was esti: mated at one third increase. The broad cast portion con,umed a bushel and a half per acre ; the drilled, but half a bushel."—Rend kT Jute/b Mahonoy Coal Several hom•loads of this Coal mined by the Mahonoy and Shomokin Improvement Compa ny have been sent to Sunbury for shipment to New York.

It is much softer than the Schnyl• kill coal, but partaking more of the bituminous quality, possesses more inflamability, which pe culiarly fits it for consumption in steam engines and forges.

That from the other vein is . more compact, contains scarcely any bitumin and closely resembles the Shamokin coal.
