BLOOMSBURG:
Thursdays July 10, 1851,
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company.
By the last legislature a Committee was
appointed to investigate the afTairs of this
compady and to report upon the propriety of
the state resuming this work, as it seems
may be done by law. It will be remember
ed that when (be work was iu Uie hands of
the state it was unproductive and expensive,
for what was every body's business seemed
nobody's business. The boats then carried
only 25 tons, while in the enlarged canal
they carry 125 tons. The case illustrates
just the diflerence between a band of rich
capitalists who rush headlong and improvi
dently into a business, and trust to the gov
ernment to help them through by bounties
and special favors, and prudent, economical
business men who when
and where the community has a demand for
a particular article.
Messrs. l'enniman of Philadelphia, Mor
ris of Monroe and Walkerof Alleghany are
the Committee of investigation and they
are now in session in Wayne county. Hon.
Geo. W. Woodward is counsel for the Com
pany.
Literary Society In Gotham.
Mrs. Swisshelm of the nttsburg Visiter
in speaking of the sins of the mad fashior.a*
bles in New York says the literati of that
city have created for themselves a state of
society which would not bear investigation
by folks clothed in their right mind. The
habit of general flirtation which has been
imported from Paris, and now prevails
amongst the "upper leu," receives addi
tional license from the mutual admiration
societies—the sentimental appreciation soir
ees, and the similarity-of-soul familiarities
which are countenanced among the pen
craft. It appears it is not uncommon for a
celebrated poetess to cultivate a " soul
friendship" with some celebrated poet, or
other kindred spirit of the quill, until the
respective husband and wife of each will
feel wronged, neglected, and yet the parties
maintain their Bocial position anil no crime
be imputed.
Business Matters.
Tho farmers of this region are just in the
midst of their harvest, and hence business
is a little dull in town. There is more com
plaint by the farmers for the want of "hands"
than for any deficiency in tho crop itself.
The hail storm of last Thursday evening cut
and broke down some wheat along Fishing
creek, but upon the whole, there will be
more than an average yield in this neighbor
hood.
The miners are ill bii9y taking out ore,
for which there is an increased demand. A
number of boats are steadily engaged in ta
king it fjrom BloomsOnrg and Espy town to
Danville and other places. The canal is in
good order.
No grain is sold here at this timebut is
still in demand for exportation to Philadel
phia, notwithstanding the depression in the
foreign market. In the city tho flour market
is active at from $4 to SI 25. Wheat is
worth from 95c. to 980. Rye 72c. Corn 61c.
Oats 43c. At these rates our farmers will
wait for the ''better time a coming ."
ITWe are gratified to learn that lion.
J. M. BURRELL, of GrOeusburg has been
nominated by the Democracy of Westmore
land, Armstrong and Indiana counties as
their candidate for President Judgo. Judge
B. it one of the ablest lawyers in Pennsyl
vania and withal a most kind and courteous
gentleman. He was appointed Judgo in this
same district by Gov. Shunk but a stubborn
Whig Senate refused to confirm the appoint
ment and now tho sovereign people are going
to place him on the bench.
EST Governor Lowe of Maryland has
signed the death warrants for tho execution
of Taylor, Shelton and Murphy, convicted
of the murder of the Cosden family in Kent
county. They are to be bung on Friday the
Ist of August.
1 A RAILROAD CONVENTION to encourage
and aid in the completion of the Railroad
from Williamsport to Erie is to be held in
Pi|iladelphia on the 16th inst. The people
of Clinton county hold a meeting on the
12th., to select delegates to go to Philadel
phia.
I*" The Albany Dutchman is to be out

coming.

MORE TESTIMONY. —The Baltimore Argus
in sneakin? of the late dissent of Judge
Campbell from Judges King and Parsons in
the telegraph case says
''Judge Camsbell is oorrect. A telegraph
operator hes no more right to disclose the
contents of a dispatch entrusted to turn than
individuals have the confidential communi
cations of their friends."
Our Table.
THE HYDROPATHIC ENCYCLOPEDIA by R. T.
Trail, M. P., seems likely to prove one of
the most valuable works of these days upon
medical science. The second number is
now before us, and finishes that department
of the work which treats of anatomy. The
book is so illustrated with plates that the
dullest mind must be able to comprehend
the text; and the text everybody should
understand who cares at all for (he preser
vation of health and the prevention of dis
ease. The book is to be completed in 8
numbers at 25 cents each. Fowler & Wells,
New York.
The same publishers have issued an in
teresting phrenological Almanac for 1852 at
<?} cents a piece.
Harper's New Monthly Magazine for July
has an interesting article of rememscenses
connected with the revolutionary history of
this coanlry, and good portraits of the most
distinguished Americans of that day. The
article, "Josaphine at Malmaison," is the
most affecting leaf of histoiy that has ever
fallen in our Way. We pity the man or
woman who can pick it up and treasure it
in the naskot of memory without being
wiser and belter—for who, alas 1 is above
the lesons of our nature's frailties; or who
beneath the promptings of nature's noble
ness?
The 144 pages of the book, (it is a book
in itself) contain many other things to in.
struct and entertain, and among these let ns
note a good engraved reprerenlation of a
young lady in the much talked-of Bloomer
costume ; and which looks far more like the
real live Bloomer it was our good luck to
see than does any other Bloomer which we
have yet met 011 paper. The magazine is
printed at $3 a year, or 25 cents a number.
Pennsylvania Farm Journal —We are al
ways pleased to notice this work as one of
the utmost utility to the agricultural interest
of the slate; and only regret that we can
not do it a belter service than to speak well
of it. The farmers of New York support
several journals devoted to their interest,
and they find a vast profit in the interchange
of their useful knowledge. Considering this
advantage, and the necessary difference be
tween the mode of the New York Pennsyl
vania fanning, arising from a difference of
soil, climate and products, the farmers of
Pennsylvania ought surely to sustain this
journal well.
AN INDIAN SPEECH.
At a celebration at Dunkirk, oti the occa
sion of the opening of the Erie Railroad,
after the President and other big "pale fa
ces" had made speeches, Dr. Wilson, a
Cayuga Chief of considerable notoriety, ad
dressed the multitude. We believe it was
pretty generally admitted to be the best
speech of the day. We make an extract
from it as reported for the Jamestown Jour
nal :
FELLOW CITIZENS :—I am a Cayugan, hnd
regular descendant from the pure stock of
Native Americans. Gentlemen have boast
ed hero to-night about Democracy; but De
mocracy was established here long before
the pale face come upon these shores. My
ancestors were Democrats long beforo the
arts ol civilization drove them from their
hunting grounds and the quiet "possession of
their forest homes. (Cheers.) The orator
from Kentucky who addressed you to-night,
said that the pale faces came here a mere
handful, and had grown to be a groat nation;
but he forgot to tell you that when they
landed upon these shores, helpless and in
want, the red man fed them with the milk
of human
his wiswam, spread betore them his amplest
hospitalities, and entertained them as broth
ers.
Fellow-citizens, I am "to the manor
born." I have no foreign prejudices to
overcome. My nation can trace its history
back to a period when the territory dotted
by your proud cities and villiages, was cov-
I ered by the primeval lorest. It has not med
dled with the politics of the pale face, and 1
think that gentleman who has talked here
to-night about Whigs and Democrats, had
better have left their politics at home.—
[Cries of "good, that's right."] The pale
face has completed a mighty work. He
has overcoino the most imposing natural
barriers; he has pierced the valleys of the
Delaware, Susquehanna, Chemung, and
Allegany, and levelled the hills which were
roamed by my ancestors centuries ago.
Now their descendants marvel at the doings
of the mighty pale lace. Our little ones are
frighted at the fire, smoke and speed of your
iron horse, and run to us for protection. But
I trust the spirits of my ancestors look down
with pride upon the doings of the mighty
pale face. They cannot but be proud to see
him accomplish his great destiny; to see
him fly from hill to valley, and ride upon
the wings of the lightning. [Cheers.] If
the N. Y. Tribune is to be believed, he has
carried his enterprises even beyond this
world, and receives communications from
the inhabitants of the other world. 1 tried
a short time 6ince to get communications
from my friends in the land of the Great
Spirit, but they had learned the language of
the pale faie since they had arrived there,
and could not understand the idiom of the
Cayugan. (Uproarous laughter.)
But, fellow-citizens, in behalf of my tribe,
1 come to congratulate you upon the com
pletion of your great work. Your passage
through our territory amazed my people; all
nature seemed to shake as you thundered
along, and the gigantic oak and lofty pine
bowed in token of your triumph. [Cheers.]
But the heart of the Cayugan is warm, and
he greets and welcomes you to his country.
[Prolonged applause.]
Dr. W. then presenter! to President Loder
a banner from the Cayuga tribe, upon which
was inscribed the pipe of peace, their na
tiona.' emblem. He accompanied the yre
sentauPU C' 1 ' 1 a *® w appropriate remarks, to
which Mr. Loder !'ey responded.
