Congress last weok passed an act appro priating 10,000,000 acres of public land to the Stales, to be sold and used for amelior ating the condition of the insane poor. As the prospect grew favorable to tbis bill there came into Congress petitions and bills for similar appropriations 10 a Protestant Uni versity. for building churches, establishing schools, academies, colleges, infirmaries, bpspltnla, ■at*'"''l'oral schools, Normal schools, seminaries for teachsri, high ichrols, &c., kc., kc., 111 til to serve ihtWMtU* s t of the public domain. "592 In tho days of primitive honesty and sim plicity. the hardy republican patriarchs not | ©ply cleared the forest, and tilled the earth itiuil the once wilderness blossomed like the rose, bul they at tha same lime estab lished their own taught their sons practical fanning; and then built their churches aud colleges and endowedt them liberally. They did uol pray to government to do quite every thing, but put their own shoulders to the w heel. There were not then the wise "Know-Nothing" Societies of 1 our day, but this, privation was balanced by the fitfl thai there were also no •* Do-Noth- ' ing" Souietias. ifjgoglo were poor they weic not.. ' V I a, (Hid not any the t0.,... te-; honest poverty. None was to pioud to work —none too poor to earn an honest livelihood. If the church was humble, the worship was sincere aud devout, arid the worshippers were nearer to their expected likeness in the Great Church ot die heieafiei, where -1 pinaster and servant, mistress and maid shall all be alike. If people had .less means, they had fewer wants; and so flUte quite as happy as now. Industry frugality, and con tentment protected them ngainst most of the ilervous disoases of our day, and insanity was much less common. * A bill was lately introduced into the State legislature to establish a Polytechnic school in Pennsylvania, for which the members of the Legislature were to be allowed to desig nate the scholars. So the favorite of a Sen ator or Member might have his son educa ted at tbs public expense, while the chil dren of Ihe thousand others should be con tent with a common school education or none at all. In times past those who wan ted a liberal education had to educate them selves, and trust to their talents and applica tion for an adequate remuneration. Now Fhe fashions is to trust to legislation alone. In the time of General Jackson, Congress was asked to appropriate nteney to objects of public improvement—now the demand is for land. Then it wae for Canals and Rail roads, ROW it is for other object which are no doubt quite as meritorious, but also quite •s much out ol the province and design of the municipal government's action. Jackson exposed the heresy of tbis plausible plan to deplete the public treasury, and Pierce will in like manner veto the bill.

Some ptiblicrowd"ies lately undertook to ' make a "raise"' al Pittsburg, under the pre tence of vindicating the law wblch forbids corporations to pay out notes under the de nomination of S5 under the penalty of SSOO for every offence. The conspirilors were however, arrested, and tried before Judge McClure for conspiracy to exlort, and indu cing Corporations to violate the law, and the jury rendered a verdict of "guilty." They had planned to exlort a sum equal to 80 ,000, from certain railroad companies and ban king institutions. The law relating to the issuing of notes or a less denomination than five dollars, was not intended to minister to plunder and oppression on so magnificent a se<*. The character of Hie conspirators was ertbhgh to explode ihe whole scheme.

James Qffipo, the Murderer of Mahal* Wiggins, by cleaving her skull with an axe on board a canal boat, last fall, was execu ted nt Wilkesbarre on last Friday, by virtuo of the warrant of the Governor. He left his cell at half past one o'clock and on reach ing the juilyard he ran eagerly up the steps of the scafTold. He then looked around with apparent u nconccrn and composure, and with seeming indifference to his fate.

Ike late storm has been productive ol a most terrible disaster at Long Beach, on the coast of New Jersey. The emigrant ship Powhatan, from Havre, went ashore, ar.d all hands, consisting of 300 passengers and the crew, wero lost. Not a living soul appears to have escaped. Fifiy.eight bodies have been washed a shore at Absecum, and mora than thirty at Long Beach. It was announced yesterday, that an emigrant ship had gone ashore on Saturday, near Barm-gut, and was still beat ing on the sand on Sunday, the dreadful state of the weather not peimiltiug auy as sistance to be given. The gale of Sunday night was a terrible one, and no ship in (he condition that toe was represented to be could withstand it.

At a "grog shop," in Pine street, near the corner ot Elm, kept by a German named Henry Stein, a ball was held on Monday e vening last. Sometime after the dancing began, an altercation took place between the proprietor and some of his guests, which after several severe blows, was amicably settled. This difficulty over, another party arrived, and calling for some drink, the li quor was hat ted out by the bar-keeper- Conrad Krouse, also a German ; but sorn® other persons made away with it, without paying the reckoning. The bar-keeper re* raonstrated—angry words were exchanged —and reaching behind him, he seized a common butcher kuile, and used it indis orimiusiely upon those in front of him, but more effctually upon the young man, whose .llJW'C.end p-e are now penning. Five pr six distiuct stabs were inflicted upon him— one in the neck, severing the jugular vein and entering the body just above the breas t bone; two frightful gashes on the head, in the shape of a triangle; a slab in the side about the ribs, and one in the back, all com bining to cause almost immediate death. The proprietor Slien, the bar-keeper Krouse, and another German named, Geo. Bear, were arrested and taken before Es quire Allison, who committed them to pris on. Tkey were taken to Pottsville the same evening, in the custody of B. T. Hughos, Captain of the Police, to await their trial.— Tamaqua Gazette. Ilam nsd (.'rtme-Umi aud Ulcer.

Instead of one gangway, Mr. I McGinnes can work twelve simultaneously, ' without endangering the security of hit workmen. The capacity of Ihe opening, therefore, is only limited by the pdwfe'r of the machinery to hoist the coal, and the ability to ptepare it for market. Similar engines to thore above mentioned, and geared in the same manner, have hoisted 1600 font per day front a slope 200 yards in deplti.

He is a warrior of in fluence with Ida tribe, and he recently pro posed to the Mormons that they should build him a house as large as Governor Young's, on a prominence near the city, pay him a large sum of money, and furnish him witb as many wives as their veritable governor has. So far as the house and money were concerned, the Mormons were willing to comply, but furnishing the wives they ob jected to, and the chisf thinks moat unteas- I suitably, for if a harem is proper for a while Governor, it is certainly becoming to an In diat, lef.
