The report of the committee appointed to view this road, and decide as to the practica bility or impracticability of finishing it; have made a lengthy report, elucidating in a very clear and satisftctoiy manner, the folly of this undertauing, and the wastelul expen dituro of public money that would attend its completion. They say tho work was commenced in folly, that it is disconnected from any public work loading to the westerti country, that its termination is on the summit of south mountain, presenting tho appear anco of an American Sibctia. It has been ascertained that tho Baltimore and Ohio 'rail roail, with which the Gettysburg road 'was intended to bo connected, will not be 'extended up through Pennsylvania to the Ohio, but tako quite a contrary direction, 'thtough Virginia to some point far down tho Ohio. Tho committee have further sta ted, that the completion of this road would .yruin tho southern counties of this state, and materially and injuriously affect the busi- Ticus of Philadelphia, by taking the trade of the West from' that city, and carrying it to Baltimore ; under these and other consider ations, tho committee recommended that all operations on this work be immediately sus pended.

PROPOSALS For pubUthtns "t PotttvilU, Pa. an Imperial Wethlu iVaetpaper, to Is cntttltd Tho urgent solicitations of numerous friends, and tho prospect of liberal . patronage, have induced tho undersigned to issue these proposals, and ask tho support of the pub lic. In politics, the 'Pottsvillk Ejiroitiuji" will zealously support the principle's and candidates, of tho Democratic party, and particularly tho nomineo of tho 5th of March Convention : But, aside from patty feeling, it shall bo our main object to enhance tho interests of our fcllow-cilizens, by promoting that industry and cnterprize which charac lisc.thc operations of the Coal Region. Wo shall go for the honest many against tho designing few on all occasions, reverencing that principle in our political creed, and op posing any Monopoly which may retard the exercise of individual, rights, or have tho tendency to put down individual industry and enterprise. In tine, our object shall bo to promote the welfare of tho community amongst whom wc, live to. pleaso and in struct and with no other promises, wc shall commence our paper, hoping that our ex perience bolh as mechanical printers and editors, may fit us for our task, and afford that gratification to patrons Which novet fails to induce the necessary recompense for servi ces rendered in a laudable undertaking. " ;. At present there is but one English paper published in tho county of Schuylkill a countv whoso territory is completely spotted with villages, and whose citizens rank amongst tho most intelligent, industrious and. cuterprising of the commonwealth. In lesprSchuylkill polled almost 2500 voles, and the combined Democratic vote exceeded 1000. Then wc doubt not of the success of our establish mont, provided tho exertion of friends iiia'y, in the launching of our bark, prevent it from mooring, upon thoso rocks and shoals which generally render the commencement of a paper a matter of so much anx ietv and expense to the proprietors. , The "Pottsville Emporium" will be published weekly, on an Imperial sheet, at TWO DOLLARS per annum, payable semi-annually in advance, or 82 50 if not paid within the year. . . .

All such systems have heretofore been defective in two' ways: First, Ihoy arc ony in part self-varying. Secondly, those parts which aro intended to be self-varying are defective. In fact, there are certain points on the coat which cannot bo effected by self-varying principles in any other way, nor by any other means, than those laid down by the subscribers. Unlike any other of tho kind, this sys tem now offered to the trade is conducted without any breast measure, and effects ev- cry point and every part of the coat by sell- varying principles, in a way calculated to convict tho senses of any reasonable man, thnt should it ever fail to proddco a good fit upon any shape whatever, the charge must be laid to a careless and incorrect measure- ment. It may teem mysterious that tins rule is said to bo self-varying, and yet a square rule a square rule and yet conduct- cd without a breast measure ; but the whole mystory will bo unfolded at once by exam- ination. Unwilling to havo it said that the subscribers are attempting to palm this sys- tern upon tho trade with misrepresentations, they avow their willingness to submit it in- delnl which coniniitteo shall make tho decision known through tho press.
