Tuesday next, (Court week) at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, is the time set apart for the meeting of the Rail Road Convention. We are glad. to see the spirit and, enterprise ex hibited, by the citizens in our immediate vi• cinity, and the Counties of Schuylkill, Car -boniMontourLuzerne and Northampton. There seems to be a determination on their part at least, to push the matter ‘vith energy. The engineers who passed over the conic are highly pleased' with it, and give a most in. vorable report of its practicability. The coon• try through which it passes is well calculated —with one or two exceptions—for laying out a road of this kind, and the route -is regained a moderately cheap one. Several counties have held meetings and appointed Delegates. A meeting was held in Orwigsburg on Saturday the 16 instant ; the pro ceedings of which appear in another column of to•day's paper. This meeting contemplates a connection with the great Central Railroad at t eSusquehanna, where said road crosses the river, several miles above tlarri6bnrg. _ This road promises, if made; to bo the great thoroughfare to the grunerim of the Western country, as it will pass through New Jersey-, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois to Alis. semi, and sooner or later will be extended to the Pacific ocean, taking in California on the south, and Oregon on the North. ' indeed this route would be what its very name indicates, the great Central . hail Road, as it passes through the centre of six of the most productive agricultural States in the Uni on, With the trade eentrating North and South to the Depots i . )l the road. One word more; let us, : _strike while the iron is hot. Let each and eirery one of us do his part, if that part is but a trifle, it will count in the end, and we will be beneficed teit•lold by the operation. Therefore all. who can, might to attend the ing next Tuesda y. Let it be alarge and t mastic one, and then when the proper Ives, let us n ot be backward in sub our portion of stock. e Fireman's Parade. • seribinl The kleman's Parade on Saturday last, was quite an interesting one, and we must admit was mere largely attended titan we had any idea of. The "Friendship" being the oldest engine, but in the hands of the younger class, took the lead.— Next in order was the "Lehigh." Then came the "Lehigh Hose." And lastly the "good Will" fol lowed by their "Hose Tender," which closed the procession. The Engines and Hose carriages have all been refitted of late and beautiful ly decorated with evergreens. The procession formed at I o'clock, and marched through the principle streets in town, accompanied by mar, shal music. The many bouquets and wreaths, received by the different companies, were marks of evidenio that the female portion of our com munity at least knout how to appreciate and hon or these useful companies. After the Parade, at 6 o'clock in the evening, a large number of the members partook of a "Splendid Supper" prepared by "mine host" of the Eagle Hotel. Preparation for Winter We doubt whether a more beantitul and truthful picture of comfort and happiness could be presented, than ,the following, which we find in an exchange paper, and in which we .only venture to make an alteration of a few words : "Winter, stern and cold, is near at hand; but what (fares the thriving farmer for the shrill night blast, the driving storm, or the bit ing frost, when, with an approving conscience and a grateful heart' his out door duties for the day are all performed, he takes his seat at a cheerful fire, prepared to spend a long evening as a social, Intellectual : and a moral being should. He feels that everything iii and about his building, so .far as human prudence and forethought are Concerned, is safe and in order. Winter may come—he expects it and is ready for it. Every domestic animal he owns is com fortably sheltered, and provided w ith suitable food. His potatoes, apples, &c., aro secure from frost. He has an ample supply of fuel, fitted for the fire and put into. his wood-house. His industry and skill have been rewarded by remunerating harvests, so that lie has "bread enough to spare." His buildings are insured. His children are comfortably clad and lie has procured for them the necessary school books. His taxes are paid, and he has subscribed and paid for the Lehigh Register. We doubt wheily er there is any situation or station infifer.more favorable for quiet, substantial happiiiess and contentment, than that possessed by the-farm er, such as we endeavored to describe." tar There are five dollar counterfeit (Relief) notes on the Lancasterßank, now in circulation, which require very careful attention to-be de. tented. Country va. City Press The following very appropriate remark We gleati from that excellent paper, She "Mont gomery Ledger," printed in Pottstown. Its ex actly to the point; "City papers advocate one cent postage on Newspapers to any part of the United States.— But their imerestsand that of the country press are antegonistical. We respectfully ask the at tention of our newly elected Congressman to this subject, and hope every country editor will demand of their Congressman to defend the in terests of their local press, and not "have wool pulled over their eyes" by the oily-mouthed advocates of city monopolies. The entire mi. reasonableness and injustice °film arrangement taxing the country printer 1 cent for sending a paper 20 miles, a circuit to which their circula tion is oftewconfined, while the city monopoly can send his paper, twice as large probably, too, WOO miles, must be apparent to every discrim inatiwr mind. By virtue of the combination of r 7large - capitalTcheap-weekly-tratishLpapere are ' gotten up in the city daily offices, at the low ' est prices possible, in order to undersell the country press, and yet our country Congress. met, have been so sleepy as to permit these de ' signing monopolists to secure every advantage (rum government in their favor, , in the bargain. We can point our Reading, West Chester,:edi tors to localities where these 'rats' have from 50 t 0.70 papers in a pai;.k at one post °Bice, seuLaLa_price it is entirely_out Of the power of the country paper to compete with. Do they know this, and yet sutler them to have all the advantage of the post olliee laws f Reeolleet, while the country press remains 1,, listless in di flerent to their own interests, these monop olists send 'agents' and 'borers' to Washington to attend to theirs. .Their paid letter-writers are - cont j tmally busy m tu defending the, the pen of the country editor' is too indolent to write a line—but rather republish what these paid writers r•ay in favor of their em. ployerst , The Rising Generation Let us look into 'a matter of great import -a n u assist in doing good wherever we cam , and if one and all admit that the mass,•if not educa; fed, become slaves, and free if educated, then how essential it is that the rising generation should be educated., Parents, we Italic discus sed this subject before, but it will bear a thou \ sand more, and receive merited attention.— Millions of children now breathe among the human family, and as the process of education begins - al-the-earliest-dawning of the intellect in millet' it has a powerful' reference to the whole man—the body, the mind, the heart realising a disctiminmion between truth idol er ror, and as there is no tort u re like a well edu cated mind, we do hope that parents will not allow time to pass unheeded. For our Cone try's sake, and for the love of humanity arouse A feelinvif sympathy—search for a thorough home education—yes, an American education, and do not weigh money against the soul of a child, for Mind is heaven-born. Are we not a wotking people? Have we not a country am ply able of supporting at least two hundred millions of souls? And we would ask if the subject of education should not be openly avow ed, and freely discussed, when our population increases more than half a million per annum Educate your children, parents--act as well as talk—give them a plain pradtical learning—a business education, for we are a business peo ple. Good common : sense is the jewel of a nation, and as the young will in time be called upon to take our places; as the great age or invention has by no means passed, and.as the brilliant day of modern discoveries is but just dawning, we say to you all forget not the parlance of education. Plain questions de mand plain answers. Now who can tell what is to be the result of educating a single youth. Our age anticipates genius, Skilful inventions, good and great men, alt springing from the young and vigo . rous mind of America; for the happitist possible state of society is that in which breathes the principles of a well inform ed people. The banquet of knowledge must he spread, and to the feast must come the child. It is the duty of parents to mould and. lnshion the mied of the young, for, its it were, the future deStinies of this great rePublic are committed into their hands. May parents con• cider well upon this subject, and may they plainly see the duty of all labors—coniemplate man in his three-fold character—physical, men• tal, and moral—forgetting not that Ananica is exalted to heaven in privileges, Glad to See It There seems to be a disposition among the leading Democrats of the State to favor a rea , sonable advance of Will' on iron: ' We hope it will be granted. A duly of 40 per cent. wa, offered on iron to Pennsylvania, in 18.16, by tree traders, but 010 would not accept it. A prosperous iron trade will make - a prosperous coal trade, so that about all that is required at present is a suitable duty on iron. . There are peculiar advantages attending the manufacture of iron. The ore in the bank, sufficient for a ton of iron is worth but afew dollars, but when wrought into bar iron is Worth t'i'oo. Thu great er part of this advance goes to the laborer of the country; and a laborer in'this country will consume twice as much of our agricultural pro duce as a laborer will who makes our iron in England. Newspapers at the Great Fair John Jay Smith, Esq., Librarian of the Phila. .delphia and Loganian Libraries, invites copies of all the papers published in the United States, with a view to have them exhibited at the Great London Exhibition next spring. They must be addressed to him free oh postage. It is proposed to arrange them by States. Mr. S. justly says, "their number and cheapness will form an item for surprise and commenda % lion abroad, and they are legitimately entitled to disilnction. Railroad Meeting. In accordance with public notice, the citizens of,Orwignburg and vicipity,. met at the Court House in the Borough of Orwigsburg, on Sat urday, November .1641, 'lB5O, to adopt proper measures to further the project of Constructing a Rail Road, to Connect the city Of New York with the Schuylkill Coal Fields, when an or ganizaticin was had, by appointing J.

Zuilch, the following preamble and resolutions were then adopted : .1. - ,Whereas, the project of constructing a Rail Road, with the view more directly to connect the City of New York with the Schuylkill Coal Fields, is now agitated by its friends with prospects of success, for which purpose a Con vention will assemble at Allentown, Lehigh county, on Tuesday the 3a day of December, 1850.

Dividend Already We see it stated that the Pennsylva da Rail road Company has declared a di v idond 01 three per cent. for the last six month- , . This indi• cates the transaction el a very fair business, the more so, as the Company has been some what unfortunate with its locomotives, an unu sual number having been broken or otherwise injured, mostly hinvever on the Ilan i,burg and Lancaster road. With prudent management and a moderate freedom from heavy losses, the roil will no doubt annually prove more profit able lo the stockholders. Death of R. M. Johnson Richard M, Johmon died at Fran klOrd, Ken tucky, on the even;:ig of the 18th instant, aged about 71) years. We hove before noticed the distressing malady under wbicli he has been suffericg, depriving him of his me, , tal and phy sieal energies. Ile commenced !mini; life in 18(17, as a member of the House of Represt:o - Iroin Kentucky, and served six souses mice terms. During the warwith England, he left Congress with anthorny to raise a cavalry regiment for the northern frontier, where he served gallantly under Gen. Harrison. At the battle of the Thames he broke the Brills!' lines, and is supposed to have killed Tecumseh, though he had rival claimants for this honor.— In 1819, he left the lower Hods* of Congress for the Senate ; and remained there ten years. Then the politics of Kentucky changed, and he went back to the House, where he remained 1;11 1837, when lie was elected Vice President on the ticket with Van Buren. In 18-11. he left th3ex.otheio presidency of the Senate, and has held no national office since. llis fame.as a statesman rests principally oil the Sunday Mail fZeport, which, as Chairman of the l'o.st Office Committee, he presented to 'the [louse in 1829, although he was not its author. lie was a brave and warm-hearted man, and we think he could not have left a personal emems' behind him. It is a remarka ble fact, that with no talents above the com mon grade, he achieved political Ere ferment, on the supposition that he killed the ,greiii In dian warrior, and wrote the Sunday Mail Re port. We close this short sketch with a re walk of the Tribune:—"ln his private rela tions, we know nothing but good of him.

A patent has been taken out by Mr. Law rence Myers, of Philadelphia, for an invention designed to be used as a substitute for coal cars. An experiment was recently tried . with them on the Reading Rail Road, aid, wo are informed, the result was, in the highest degree satisfactory to the patentee. The machine is noticed by the Pottsville "Alining Register," which paper says "it cons i sts simply of a cyl inder somewhat smaller than the wheel, of which it will form the axle. •The wheels it is proposed to make 51, inches in diameter, while the cylinder will be 42 incite's, so as to elevate . it sufficiently above the grade of the road' to avoid its coming in contact with stones and other obstructions. Each cylinder of this size will contain two tons of coal, so that two cyl inders requiring four wheels will hold just the same as the cars now used. The cylinder and wheel are, of course, permanently attached to gether, and its contents will.revolve with it, the - raped - itirgiiin preventing any ietion of the coal. The new form possesses many suppos ed advantages, not ibe least of which is, that each locothotive, will be able to carry at least thiuble the quantify of coal as by the present method. Two or more cylinders can be attach ed together by a wooden frame work outside of the Wheel,, which will be necessary to cou ple these 'llevel vers" into a train." • — Graham's Magazine The December No. of "Graham .

Spanish Amexioa In Mexico, the Election for President of the Republic has taken place; and front some re turns received, it sevens to be likely that the con• tests will be finally between Generals Arista and !

Of these, five at . 1 least are Generals of the army, each one of whom is determined, probably, to hick up a rote, unless be is the successful candidate. So far, Santa Anna seems to have received hitt a shin '. vote.— W I t sixty-sixdistricts have voted for Arista, twenty-six'for Ahnonte, and seventeen fur Bravo, he (Santa Anna) has received but two. Some, however, have but one. The civil candidates have received more votes than one would sup• pose in that essential military Republic. It will be an astounding circumstance, should a civilian be elected, and will indicate, itt the most immis• takable manner, that the people are tired of the predominance of the military hierarchy.
