DISCOVERIES OP TUB LAST HALF
CF.NTURY.
There has beast nn period since the com
mencement of the world in which so many
important discoveries. twirling in the ben
efit of mankind, were made as in the last
half century. Some of the most Wonder
ful results of human intellect hate been
witnessed in the last fifty years. Boats
of the grandest conceptions of genius have
been perfected. It is remarkable how the
mind of the world has run into scientific
investigation, and what achietements it
has effected in that short period.
Before the year 1800 there was not a
single steamboat in existence, and the ap
plication of steam to machinery was un
known. Fulton launched the Brat steam
boat in 1807. Now there are threo thous
and steamboats traversing the waters of A
merica, and the tune saved in travel 111%
qual to seventy per cent. The rivers of
every country in the world. nearly, sr trio.
versed by steamboats. In 1800 there
was not a single railroad in the world.
In the United Stews alone there are noir
8,797 miles of railroad, costing 62418.000...
000 to build, end shoot SLOW Mils* of

who was still younger. It appears, says
our authority, that some two months ago
the two children had a quarrel about a

saved up his money, sou by sou, until he
was able to purchase a knife. He then
watched as opportunity, and when a fav

It is my duty to make a prompt and an•
qualified declination of the imsition which
your nomination would assign me.
In 1848,• the people of Pennsylvania
conferred .upon me, for the term of three
years, the office of Governor. Before the
election, pledges were given, and by the
acceptance of the office renewed, that my
entire energies of body and mind, should
be devoted to the faithful performance of
the duties of Chief Magistrate, and that
the promotion of the interests and welfare
of my constituents should be alone the
object of my ambition. Regarding the obli
gation of these pledges, I could not consci
so tiottaly abandon my present.position.
Under any and all circumstances, my
fellow.citixens may rely with confident as
surance that to the extent of my ability,
the duties oldie office which they have bes
towed on me, shall he faithfully divehsrged.
Repeating the expression of heartfelt
thankfulness (or the kindness manifested,
and with assurances of sincere regard and
esteem for each of the members of your
caucus,
I remain, truly, your obedient servant,

In the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Coma pment
ed several petitions from citizens of the Common_
wealth of Pennsylvania, praying for the repeal of
the Fugitive Slave Bill, and, in doing so, eddies.
sod the crenate as follows :
Mr. President. whenever a petitiop is
respectful in its terms, and asks for that
which Congress has power to grant, 1 have
made it an invariable role to present such
petition to the body to which it is sent. I
have shown these petitions to gentlemen
who are acquainted in the vicinity from
which they come, and the memorialists
are represented to me as highly respecta
ble people. But I must say. in present
ing their petition, that they are praying
for that which the great MN!, of their own
fellow citizens in the State 'of Penn
sylvania do not desire should be granted.
The great body of the citizens of Pennayl-
Ma are satisfied with the settlement of the
questions relating to the subject of Slavery,
at the last session, and do not desire that
that settlement should be disturbed. They
mean, as far as I know. and as far as pub
lic acts connected with the measures which
were adopted at the last session go to
prove, to stand by those measures, and to
carry them out In good faith. They do
sire peace and harmony ; and they know
that so long as agitation continues to ex
ist they cannot have that at home ; they
know also that the people of other States
have it in their homes. I suppose it would
be proper to move to refer them to the
committee properly having charge of the
subject. I wish to treat them with the
greatest respect, and at the same time to
do that which is best and proper. I there
fore. without reading, move thst they be
referred to the Committee on theJudietary.
The petitions were eceorelingiy referred to the

DIIIIIIIII IP) Carr. Mavvuaws.—A
splendid dinner was given to Capt. Matt
thews of the Ship «City of Glasgow," by
the citizens of Philadelphia, on Saturday
last, in commemoration of the opening of
a line of Steamships between Liverpool
and
...Philadelphia. The Dinner took place
in the Chinese Museum. and is raid to
have been one of the most elegant ever
got, up in Philadelphia. Mayor Gilpin
presided, assisted by a large number of
gentlemen. Before the company sat
down to dinner. a Divine blessing was in
voked by Bishop Potter. Among the
guests were Gov. Johnston. the Canal
Commissioners and the members of our
State Legislature, Hon. James Buchanan,
and other distinguished individuals. The
Philadelphia, papers of yesterday. contain
the most glowing account of the Festival.
In reply to toasts, eloquent speeches were
made by Gov. Johnston, Hon. James
Buchanan, Hon. John Cessna, lion. Wm.
M. Meredith, and others.
Causouru.—The private ad vices from
San Francisco by the last arrival are more
cheerful- The cholera was disappearing,
and business wu more animated. During
she week ending November 28th, seventy
five large vessels arrived with goods from
all parts of the world. A body of 160 men
of the "Garde Mobile." were among the
passengers in • French sloop of war, hav
ing been sent out at the charge of their
government. A number of them started
for the mines forthwith. The others have
intimated a desire to be sent on an expe
dition against the Indians. Alt the vessels
that recently arrived from France. wer e
filled with passengers, many of them fe
males, principally the wives of mechanics.
Col. Fremont was' again in the field as n
candidate for re-election to the Untied S.
Senate, and with a fair prospect of suc
cess. The cholera was subsiding.
A Moor MaLaucnoLv OCCURRENCE.-.-
We learn from Bayside, Talbot county
Md., that a most melancholy occurrence
took place at that place on Tuesday last,
at the dwelling of Mr. Ballard Shores.—
The Particulars are as follows :
On that day Mrs. Emma Jones had
paid a visit to Mrs. Shores, taking with
her her infant child. She was seated in
the sitting room, with Mrs. S., and in a
cradle a little son of Mrs. S., about eleven
mouths old, was lying, while another lit
tle son, aged three years was standing by
the cradle, rocking it. In another part of
the room there was another son of Mrs.
S.. aged about eight years, who unobserv
ed picked up a loaded gun, which had
been imprudently left there. While in his
hands, the gun was discharged, the load
blowing out the brains of the little boy
standing by the'cradle, killing the infant
in the cradle, and lodging several ■hot in
the person of Mrs. Jones, who was sitting
in the line of the shot. Her infant which
was in her lap, was somewhat injured by
the powder from the gun. Mrs. Shores
sprang up and seizing the child whose'
brains was blown out, ran into the yard,
and there finding hint dead, ahe ran back
into the house. Here she found her other
child dead, and so great was the shock,
that she immediately fainted and has been
in almost a deranged state ever since.—
Mrs. Jones, though badly hurt, was not
considered dangerous. This is another
■nd most melancholly instance of the evil
consequences resulting in the extreme folly
of placing loaded Ere-arms within the reach
of any but those who know how to use
them.—Haft. Sm.
UOV. Qumuat.—There will, no doubt,
be some difficulty between Gov. Quitman.
of Mississippi, and the National Govern

the tut thirteen years of his lib than
those most near and dear to him. After
thus presenting his credentials, he pro
ceeds u follows :
"It is so generally known that General
Jackson was a bah Who, above all oth
ers, took "responsibility" in pears or in
war, that that word brings to the minds of
the people of this country hie name almost
as certainly as the Wier. Whit+ spell it.
But it is not so well known thin he made
others take it So times of profound pesos.
I know it well. He made me take it, and
that made .me know him io well. The
occasion for making me take it was, his
annual message got out from the office; of
the National Intelligencer and the United
States Telegraph. before it was sent to
Congress, soon after I came into the Globe
office--the first session of the twenty-third
Congress. I believe—and afterwards, as
long as he was President, he gave all his
messages to me to have printed, with the
ad monition : "I will hold you responsible,
sir, if that message gets out before Con
gress is ready to receive it. Don't let any
person—not even one of my Cabinet offi
cers—have a•copy of it before I send it to
Congress."
"'I he printer prints from the rough
draught of the President's message, and
often gets part of the copy before the mes
sage is completed. I invariably went af
ter the copy and took 'the prdufs back to
she President myself, which gave me an
opportunity of knowing all about who
wrote and who were consulted about them.
It has been said, and no doubt believed by
many, that Gen. Jackson did not write
his messages. Neither he nor any other
President ever wrote those parts -of their
messages which showed the condition of
the several departments. They are writ.

*pet:nasty. Nearly the whole of the bal
ance of Gen. Jackson's messages was
in his band-writing. The proclamation
which was intended to carry out his mem•
orable toast, "the Union must be preserv
ed," which was uttered as a rebuke to nul
lification when it first showed its front, at
the celebration of Jefferson's birth-day
in Washington, was re-written by Mr.
Living ton, then Secretary of State.
"Mr. Blair, who saw the original paper,
has frequently told his friends that lie tho't
it better than the finished production, and
not liable to the objections to some of the
principles advanced in the latter. it was
Gen. Jackson's invariable .practice to put
down in writing every official paper which
he submitted to the public. He was, how
ever, always willing to admit suggest ions,
and permit alterations where he thought
them improvements.
via relate an anecdote, or incident,
which will lead to a correct conclusion as
to who wrote Gen. Jackson's messages,
and also, who attended to them alter 4 . _hey
were written.
•When I went after theannnal message
which demanded of the French King the
indemnity due to citizens of the United
States by the French government, I found
Maj. A. J. Donelsen, then Gen, Jackson's
private Secretary, and a clerk belonging to
the State Department, (Mr. Derrick,) com
paring the copies lobe sent to both branch
es of Congress with the rough draught.—
General Jackson was walking the floor
some twenty or thirty feet from them,
smoking his pipe, and paying no atten
tion whatever to the reading, as I thought.
When they read that part of the message
which pressed the demands in the strong
est terms. General Jackson said :
'Donel
son stop there; that is not as I wrote it'
Major Dunelson replied : 'General; the
Cabinet had a meeting and agreed to soften
this a little;' and he then attempted to read
on, evidently very much agitated. Gen
eral Jackson again said to him t •Dunelson I
stop there; that is notes *tote it.' Ma
jor Donelson made a stammering teply,
saying : 'General, the Cabinet had a meet
ing. and agreed to soften this a little. I can
not alter it in time for Congress, and Mr.
Rives is here waiting for the message; and
if he does not get it shortly, he tannot have
it printed in time; and continued to.stam
mer on, reading it.
“General Jackson then stamped his foot
on the floor, and said in a loud voice:
say, stop! and put that as I wrote it. I
don't care for the Cabinet, nor for Mr.
Rives and Congress waiting. It shall be
as 1 wrote it.' Major Donelson then
pened his table drawer, and wok from it
the slip which he had cut from the mes
sage, and inserted it in the place of the al
teration made by the Cabinet. I have
both the original and the alteration, I be
lieve, filed away, but with so many other
papers that I cannot find them convenient

Arundel count•, and assuming the number
in that county to be 32,000, the total pop
ulation of Maryland is 691,000. of which
90,000 are slaves. The increase of slaves
is about 4,000 since 1840. The increase
of the entire population since 1840, i5121,-

be about 95,000. Maryland Will retain her

000 of the number requisite to give her six
members.—Ball. Clip.

SMITH O'BetaN-4ilempf to Escape.
—We have later advice. from' Australia.
The Hobart Town Ooorier of the 20th of
August, gives the folloning account of an
attempted escape of Smith O'Brien :
"•On Sunday and Monday, the Victoria
cutter, commanded by a man named Ellis,
was observed hovering about the Island,
the wind being light until Opining when
it fell- calm. Shortly before sundown.
Mr. Smith O'Brien, who notwitiasterfaing
hir avowed Intention of estaping, should
an opportunity offer, has considerable lib
erty allowed him, went down to a sandy
core, one of the few places where boats
generally laud, and just as he reached the
*here, a boat with three men put in, and
fie rushed up to hia middle to meet it. A
constable on duty. who was a witness to
the act, covered him With his piece, and
called to him to forbear, seconding this
by rushing at the boat and knocking a bele
in her bottom with his carbine. He then
pointed out to all four the folly of resist
ance, anti required them to submit quittly,
which they did.
The Wheel in ehoge" meantime having
missed his prisoner, tams rushing down
to the beech, and secured him while still
in the water, He wee then conducted to
his house, and the three men confined for
transmission to Hobart Toth. , A whale
boat. with six hands{ was sent on board
the cutter, seized herb and brought her lb.
a he,, too, with the ponies on board; will
be sent bp at once. It has not been tho't
neceesary to impose any restraint upon
Mr. Smith O'Brien, greater than that
to which he was previously Subjected.—
In fact. the precautions customarily taken
are such as, Without being obtrusive; rent
der his escape all but hopeless.
