Schuylkill counly is becoming a neighbor better known to our people since the opening of some large mining operations near the line of the two counties. A railroad is graufvJ from Mount Carmel to the Catiawissa rail road, and quite a town has in a short time sprung up at the head of the coal region.— The coal lands on the southern edge of this county are now valued more than six limes as much as they were two years ago. Ashland is the outlet for the trade of all the Roaringcreek valley, and is becoming a sort of metropolis for the upper coal region of Schuylkill. Washington Items- It is certain that Mr. Dallas has been ten dered the mission to England. Mr. Buchan an, it is raid, has wri'ter. a letter urging Ihe appointment of J. Glancy Jonfcs of Pennsyl vania as his successor. A resolution offered to elect a Speaker by 0 plurality vole was laid upon the table by the ftiends 0! Orr, Fuller and Mr. Campbell of Ohio. Senator Bigler of Pennsylvania appeared and took his seat in the Senate on last Mon day. SETTI.ED AT LAST —'The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania on Monday gave a decision in one of the questions which arose out of tho Erie troubles, fur which il.o Court, ibe Siuie Legislature and ihe citizens of Philadelphia were so liberally abused by the New Y'ork papers at the time, though they had nothing to do with the disputes at issue. The Court now sustains the right of parlies adverse to the interests of the City of Erie. It has de cided that the Cleveland and I'lainesville Railroad Company have the right to make the connection with the Northeast Company, and enjoins the citizens and authorities ol Erie against interfering in any manner with their right. Questions of this kind, it will be seen, may be still left safely with the Courts of law invested with the authority to determine them. The Annual statement Of county finances appears in onr columns to-day, and will prove an item of interest to our readers. The expenditures are about Ibe same in amount as last year. BROKE JAIL.—The Sheriff offers a reward for the arrest and delivery of Samuel Full mer, who was confined in jail for breaking into Charles Neyhard's store at Buckhorn. 0?" Court will commence in this place on nex l Monday. Those who have been in our debt several years past for subscription and advertising will find it a convenient season ' for us to receive our pay. MORE SNOW.—For many years past there has not been so much snow upon the ground in tbis neighborhood as at present. This ■(Wednesday) morning the fine flakes fall again quite thick and fast. iy Our Harridburg correspondents report that the repeal of the "Jos law" will not pass the Senate in its present sh ape b.'H will be coupled with a 6tringent license law. We will be pleased to publish next week 'he speech of Harrison Wright Esq. upen the subject. 13** How will the Connecticut know noth ings lika it, if the Georgia Legislature shall pass the law nod' before it, that none but three year citizens ol .'ht State shall ped • die clocks therein; penal.,'' 8100.— Boston Poet. iy We are sorry to learn from the Polls ville Gazette that the County Commissioners of Schuylkill who were elected by the Dem ocrats have proved to be Know-Nothings.— The Gazette fearlessly opposes their treach ery. A GOOD THINO.—A correspondent of the Washington Union, who subscribes himself "An Old Whig," says: Let not the Whigs be bumbled because their party lias beeu swal lowed. The whule swallowed Jonah; Jonah was heard of afterwards, the whale never. OP Gov. BIGLER has authorised egbanian to stale that he is a fast friend of Mr. BUCHANAN for the Presidenuy. THE PRESIDESCT. —The Democratic State Convention of Georgia, as well as Alabama, has declared in favor of the re-eleotion of President Pierce. LETTER FROM MR. FULLER. Tbe WUWbarw Accord publishes ihe fol lowing extiact UM\ a private letter of Mr. Fuller to ihe edi"%: "Feeling r""'}jely assured that agitation will do prfi ,i *'2f'nijnry and no possible good. I to resist it. The great ma | jority of our people will certainly sustain this JpasKion. Greely and Seward will of course lie down npop me, but itvy are determined man wliL will not join thoir which) GMrfings is the ac knowledged leader. In the present stale of parties and public feeling here, Ihe Missouri Compromise can not be restored, and nothing would be gain ;ed if it was. It is a settled ascertained fact that slavery will not go into Kansas or Ne braska. The other territories, with Ihe ex ception of the tract lying west of Arkansas aro already organized, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, into which slavery cannot go— We have now a majority of the Slates (free Sta'es.) The territories will come into the Union as free Slates. We can uffnrd to con cede something to the feelings of the South made sensitive by the course of Giddings & Co. My position, that of resistance to any and all agitations, must certainly be sustained in the end. I wish to represent the views of the majority of the district on this subject. 1 see the Ttihune and Times accuse me of dodging, It it all false. Sage, vf New York, put his inierrogatory in a very peremp tory tone, and with a manifestly unfriendly spirit. I had already fully answered it, and telorted as reported in the Globe. I have been endeavoring to decline for the last ten days, but those voting for me have desired me to hold on as a rallying point." New Novel by Mrs. Noutliworlli Mr. T. B. Peterson, the Philadelphia pub lisher, announces another new work by this ceieu.a'ed and popular American Authoress. A critic, who n£ read the work in manu script, says : " 'lndia; or, the Pedt'l 0/ Pearl River,' taking it all in all, is the b eßl ' vo, k Mrs. Soulhworth has yet written. Il A one | great merit in tliio lady's fictions, that they 1 faithfully delineate life and manners, without , entering on vexed social, religious, or politi cal issues. In 'lndia,' the reader will find a vivid delineation of the Southwest. But this is not all: The characters are boldly drawu, ; the incidents natural, and the action of the story rapid and absorbing. The two.hero- J ines are finally contrasted. The hero is a noble creation; strong of will, earnest of pur pose, firm for the right, and persevering to the end in whatever he believes to be justice and truth. We cannot recall, in any late j work, a character so ideally loflv. vol so 1 faithful to reality, The heroic spirit in which he goes west, abandoning the luxuries 110 has been accustomed to, arid settling down in his rude log hut, determined to conquer fortune with his own good right hand, is in deed, the true type of a self-relying Ameri can. No fiction of Mrs. Southwcrrth's bears such proofs of careful finish. It ought, on these several accounts, to have a popularity unrivalled -by uny of her former works, spite of tho immense circulation they have attain ed" It will be published in uniform style with "The Lost Heiress," at $1 25 par copy in cloth gilt, or $1 in paper cover. Copies of either edition of the work, will be 6cnt to any purt of the United Stales, free of postage, on remitting the price of the edi tion they may wish, to the publisher, in a letter. It will be ready for delivery on the Bth of March. Trade uf Philadelphia. The Pcnnsylvanian says, since the opening of the Klmira and Williameport, and Catta wissa Railroads, the merchants of the City have been turning their attention to this new artery of communication with the West and Northwest, and are now offering liberal in ducements, which will in due time turn the tide of trade toward the city of Peiiu. By this new line of railroad the Northwest is brought nearer Philadelphia than to New V'ork, and by a low tariff of freights, which those railway companies are now perfecting the trade must inevitably be thrown in favor of thin city. The merchants here have the advnntage over those of New York in local manufacturing, which is in fact the grest se- 1 cret of the rapid growth of this city. New York, it is true, stands ahead of Philadelphia in her commerce anjf foreign shipping, but our local manufacturing, of every descrip tion of goods, wares, merchandise and ma chinery is beyond ell calculation. Merchan dise ol every description, can certainly be purchased as cheap, and in a majority of cases, far cheaper here than can possibly be done in New Y'ork. This fact is now becom ing well known to the Western merchants, numbers of whom we 6aw in Philadelphia last fall, and who acknowledged that they could in the purchase of the same goods in New York, where they hail formerly dealt. Rents, anil expenses generally, are not so hi s lh as in Now Y'ork, hence our jobbers and wholesale dealers have a great advanlage over the Gotbamiles ir. the way of low, but to tht'in remunerating prices. Northumbrlund County.— At the recent Court, II Commonwealth and 9 Common Pleas cases were attended to. A new township, ca.'.'ed Washington, was formed of parts of Jaikso.? end Upper Ma hanoy. Til® Sut.'Bury Academy was (0 open 'his week under th." uharge of.John Leach, A. JL, graduate of Dii kin-on College. Quite a religious rev.' v el has been experi enced in Milton, by the Lutheran and Meth odist churches. Elisabeth M'Ginnes recovered SSOO dam ages of Horton & Kapp, at the late Northum berland Term, as damages for the loss of her husband, about two years ago. It will be remembered that he was killed by jumping from the stage, when the horses were run ning away, near the Chillisquaque Bridge. APPROACHING) EXECUTION.—The time fi.ved for the execution of Jacob Ambruster, now under sentence of death at Doylestown, Pa., for the murdei of his wife, if Friday 15th February. MR. COIIUEN AM) THE WAR. Mr. Cobden has published in London a pamphlet on Ihe war with Russia, in which, under the question what the Allies intend to do next, he presents the advantages of peace in a very striking and forcible manner. Rus sia, he shows, cannot be brought to the Al lies' terms by blockading her ports, for she has no foreign commerce to injure, and has a vast overland trade with Asia. Financially the Allies are betmr nble to oonduct a wdr ihnn llnssia, but even they cannot continute it without great sacrifices. Sixty or seventy millions of loans will have to be raised by England if the war continues for thtee years longer. The fatal effects will (all first on those who depend on credit for the means of carrying on their trade, and then upon the whole industrial population. The working class even now greatly suffer. The course he proposes is to withdraw the British army from Russian territory, the inva sion of which was a blunder; to exact no promises or guarantees from Russia; leave Germany and Austria to obstruct the march of that nation southwardly; abandon the at tempt to sustain a balance of power, or ap peal to all other States of Europe, and ifthey decline to form a league against Russian encroachment, forego the Quixotic enter prise of fighting for the liberties of Europe, and pursue a policy more consistent with the prosperity of the people, and better cal culated to secure liberty. The yuel prepara tions of the war he thfeks are cal culated to provoke hostilities, even with na tions no; parties to the present quarrel. The naval armament has already aroused the sus ceptibilities of the people of the United Stales, and impelled by feelings of insecu rity or pride, the latter appear disposed to add to the strength of their navy also. Should this spirit ncquiro strength in the mind of the nation, and reconcile it to the expense, there is no country in the world he thinks, tha' in the course of a few years would -be their equal at sea. Is it wise, he asks, on the part of the nations of the old world, placed at such a disadvantage by their collossal debts, and Ihe necessities they are under for keep ins large standing armies to fasten 011 them selves a hostile naval rivalry with this trans atlantic people? To abate such an impolitic provocation, as well as for the interests of European peacs and prosperity, he would endeavor to promote a general reduction ol naval establishments at the close of the wnr, loan approximation ".villi that of the United Stales. Should li'ie close of the war be sig nalized by such a general reduoii on °f war " like armaments in Europe as would be in volved in this arrangment, bethinks it would confer 0 lasting benefit on posterity, and a mid the crimes and errors of the last two years' diplomacy, he might fairly claim for such a peaceful triumph the respect and gratitude of mankind. The views are put forth with candor and great force, and they evidently are calculated to produce their ef fect upon the popular mind of England.— Ledger. Philadelphia Markets. Fr.ouit AND MEAL.—The market for flour is veryqhlet; shipping brands are itcWlterd at $8 374 per bbl. Family flour sells at from $8 37 to 8 50 per bbl. The inquiry from re tailers and bakers is freely met at 88 50 a 9 00 for extra and fancy brands. Rye flour, last sales at $6 00. Corn Meal is without demand.

Cloverseed is coming forward, and sales are making at $8 25 per 64 lbs. from wag ons. and 88 25 from store. Flaxseed is in demand. REVISED EDITION or THE BIBLE— The Ed inburg Review has an article on the inconve- 1 nience of the common editions of the Bible, not one of which, it says, can be read with as much ease and comfort as any ordinary book. The writer recommends that tbe Bible should be printed in several volumes; tha". the chap ters he abolished, and the divisions be made as the subject changes ; that inverted com mas should indicate passages spoken or quo ted, that Ihe double column be abolished, and thut there be or.e edition of the Bible in which the writings of each author should form a distinct volume by itself. 1 Effect of Mechanical Skill. —To show how meclianicul skill and labor add to the value of raw material, the British Quarterly Re view gives this instructive calculation „•—A bar of iron valued at 85, worked into horse shoes, is worth 810 50 ; needles, 8355; pen knife blades, $3,285; shirt buttons, $26,480;' balance springs of watches, 8250,000. Thir" ty-one pounds hare been made into wire upward of one hundred and eleven miles in | length, and so flue was the fabric that a part of it was converted, in lieu of horse hair, into a barrister's wig. IV A Present for Cronstadt is being con structed at Ihe Lowmoor Iron Works, Eng land. It is a shell, nine feel five iuches in circumfeience, and thirty-six inches in di ameter. Its weight is over a ton. It costs £25 unfilled, and the mortar which is to dis charge such a shell weighs thirty-five tons. This shell is intended to bombard Cronstadt, and it is expected that a bombardment well sustained with such a weight of metal, will crumble the walls of that defence like pow- Jer- lm , m , THW SUNBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD BRIDGES, between Northumberland and Sunbury, are completed, and coal is now taken over the road to Williamsport, Pa, and Elmira and other places in New York. The cars of the Philadelphia and Sunbury Company, it is said, are to be used in taking the coal fro?, the mines in Northumberland county to El mira and intermediate places. t#" Robert Hawley, Esq., of Muncy, has been appointed Prothonotarv of Lycoming county, in tbe place of George F. Boal, de- i ceased. ARRIVAL of the BALTIC. THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The Collins steamship Baltic arrived at New York on Tfetarsday morning, quite un expectedly, havljg made the passage in less than twelve days, which is remarkable for mid-winter. Het dales are to Saturday, the 12th iusl., three jays later than brought by the Afiica. The nawsanay summed up as follows: . * , The public expectation is on lip toe to learn the issue of the peace preparations Rumors of all sorts are flying, but the truth is, that nothing can be known for some time yet, as the time given to Russia for her de cision has been extended to tha 18th of Jan uary. Nevertheless, despatches received at Berlin, and Vienna report that the Emperot will make no further concessions. On the other hand ilia certain that formal Conferences ore in session at St. Petersburg, disclosing the proposals, and that these con ferences are attended by Nesselrode, Ester hazv, Seebach and Summer. The general impression is, that Russia will neither accept nor reject the propositions, but will send Count Shakelberg to Vienna with counter proposals. The latest rumors speak more favorably, and better hopes are entertained. Denmark has announced her continued neutrality, and disovows any connection with the Swedi tlfalHfc|ew-v Nothing new has'beeu received from the Crimea. Omar Pasha remains in Redoubt Kale, shut up there by the winter and the Rus sians. The Emperor Napoleon again threatens to go personally to the seat of war. Richard Cobden has published a new peace pamphlet. ARRIVAL #F THE AFRICA FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. The steamship Africa arrived on Wednes day at New York, with Liverpool dates to the Oth inst. Her news consists merely of the extension o( the peace rumors received by the Inst ar rival. Russia's answer to the propositions could not possibly tie before the 10th, but would probably be delayed some days lon ger. It is anticipated that it will contain neither on absolute assent or refusal, bat will name counlnr proposals, to be settled by re newed conferences. The feeling in England continues to be warlike, and in France it is becoming so. The Russians are incessant in their prep aralions for the Spring campaign. Affairs in Asia present no now features. Tiro Grand Council of the Allied Generals has been opened ill Faifis. The Conference in relation lo the Sound Dues has been postponed indefinitely. Sweden ts making aolive warlike prepara tioUJifc., The dutes from the Crimea are to Chiist mas day.
