It is truo we intended to carry the impression that water power, when il could bo used in the ncighbothoodof railroad or canal trans portation, Was superior to steam, in every sense of tho word, being both safer and cheaper. If this bo undenting the ad vantages of that vicinity," so be it. That it is placing Fishing Creek region, if true, far ubovo them,' every ono will acknowl edge.

"Wiicn we penned the article in our pa per some two or three weeks since, under the above caption, we little thought of bring V ing down upon us the ire of our neighbor in Danville, or of being accused of exercis ing a spirit of "envy," never dreaming but that we had as goud a right to set forth the transcendent advantages" of cur town and vicinity, as our friends in neighboring Tillages; and wc have yd to ham that il displays something very much like envy' to dit so. Our remarks were made in per fect good feeling, and in perfect truth, and we think ho who could tako exceptions to thorn must have corns on his toes, or at least be a liltte goaty, nnd possessed of a f feeling, not only " very much like," but in l fact, of "envy" and jealousy too For out--- eelves, wc care not how much Dattvillu is extolled by those interested, or how many i furnaces are in anticipation of being built - there, the moio tho merrier, as it wiill add ' to the business of our lumber friends in the townships of Greenwood, Fishing Creek; 8ugarloaf and Jackson, bordering on Fish ing creek and its tributaries, 33 from that flection, most of their lumber is obtained; but, wc at the same lime, claim the right of showing the real advantages possessed in the vicinity of Fishing CreeV, for manufac turing iron, without being accused of dis playing envioti? feelings. The Danville people succeeded bv putting, in procuring tho location of tho Courts of the county in that placo " very much" to the injury of the public; and if they can now puff and steam" their town into a manufacturing village, by making capitalists believe that they are in the centre of tho iron region, they will un doubtedly do so; but unless we arc much ,nist:il:r'n in tho sinus of the times, the Wa- iter power of the rtal centre, t-j wit; ..of Fishing Creek, and its tributaries, will rfnon cool their stosm, put out their fires, .and draw tl;e business of tho county to its k proper and natural location J lit paper in Danville is therefore " very much" mis tukon in supposing our article was "design ed to underato tho advantages of that vi cinity." So far from it, they were calcula- i ted to gi.vo them their true value. What ore the facts ?

Columbia. "Democrat." Jlarrisburg, January 28, 1840. Mr. Wucil, The House havd boBri several days en gaged upon a resolution inlffltlitccd by the commilico on banks, requiring the ba8 ' resume ececie payments. Amendments upon amendmsnts have been offered, de bated, and voted down, and there appears to bo not co much prospect now of the house agreeing upon an early resumption, as there was at the commencement of the debate. Some arc for a full and immediate resumption others fur giving tho banks months to prepare others for a gradual re sumption, commencing with five dollar bills, and then tens, &c. another clas3 still ap pear to have iither no settled policy, or act to prevent any thing whatever, being done upon tho subject. This diversity of opinion I am afraid, will prevent any definite action upon tho subject. As to any restrictions being placed upon tho present banks that will guard tho rights of tho people against their mercenary operations, I have but little hopc.lhcre being too manymombers who arc so deeply interested in banks dint they will not allow any measure of the kind to pass that will tend to conflict with their own in terest, I hope I may be mistaken, but time however, will determine. No other sub ject of importance lias been acted on in the house but what you have already announced. Tho senate, during the past week, have confirmed several nominations made by the Governor, of President and Associate Judg es, thcio being no opposition to any other than Judge Porter; and tho opposition in his case arose from a determination on the part of Penrose anil company, to revenge upon him for his independent and unflinch ing course in the riot cases, nnd during the buck shot war." Hut it was no go. Their bitter invectives fell harmless at his feet, and he passed through tho ordeal un scathed. Yours, &u. P. R. Gince writing the above, the bill requiring the banks to resume specie pay ments on the 15lh February, lias passed to a third reading in tho hoiistu. It is general ly supposed that it will pass upon its third reading to-morrow. Mil. BUCHANAN, it Wil) doubtless be gratifying o the-De mocracy of Pennsylvania to. learn j guys tho Keystone, that litis iliclingulsed champion of her cause on tho floor of the United Stales Senate, lias again won for himself ' golden opinions" from all mciij in his re cent encounter with Mr.OLAYt oh the mer its of the bill for the establishment of an Independent National Treasury. Mr. Bu chanan has again s)iown himself liioro than a match for the Kentucky oratot, whoso Itansccndaut abilities none will picsumo to question, nnd in this instance came off de cidedly tho conqueror. For a full descrip tion of Mr. Buchanan's splendid effbf tj wc refer to tho letter of our Washington cof respondent, whose views are fully confirm by numerous oilier letter-writers of both parties. The correspondent of tho Balti more American, whose opinions generally arc distinguished fur candor aud fairness, pronounces it, without exception, " tho -blest defence of the Sub-Tieasury system, which has been made by any administra tion member." Pennsylvania lias indeed abundant reason to be proud of a son, wio sheds such lustre on the cause to which she is attached, in .the councils of the na tion, and who has attained a place on the piniclc of fame, to which but few may just ly aspire.
