The roads have all been subseri- bed for by individuals, and all pay hand some dividends, For instance, the Troy and Lansinburgh road pays ten per cent semi-annual ; the Utica ■nd Burlington 20 per cent. and we helievemotie in oper ation pay less than 10 per cent., and none of the stocks can be bought in the mar ket. The importance of plank roads in farm ing regions becomes se-evident, when it is stated that en the Salina road a two horse team drew six tons of iron twelve miles without Unusual strain. Four and half tons is an ordinary load, and • team will travel with 4t forty-eight miles per day, four males an hour, day after day. A far mer, in a heavy country, stated that the tolls paid saved themselves in the labor of cleaning horses. In all localities where the roads are in operation land rises greatly in value. On the Salina road farm land rose from $9 to *IS per acre ; on the 'Syracuse road the increase was 610 per acre. It will be ob served that an amount of property equal to •4,000,000, bearing a high rate of inter est, has been created. and that property has added in addition several millions to the land through which it passes, and that all this property is mere saving from the old cost of transportation.

A dinner was given them at the Astor House, at which Win. H. Seward, the U. S. Senator. made a speech, and a grand Union speech besides. He remarked : "It was New York alone that supports and sustains this great city, and this great State ; it is the entire nation, stretching from the river St. Lawrence along the At lantic Coast and Mexican Gulf, and then across the Mountains and slang the Pacific Coast away up to Nootka sound.

Onto AND THE Fuomve, Acr.—The House of Representatives of Ohio. on the 12th inst., passed the following resolution, relative to the Fugitive Slave Law by a vote of 40 to 20 : "That our Senators in Congress be in. strutted, and our Representatives reques. ted, to use all honorable means to obtain an immediate repeal, modification, or a mendment, of the act of Congress, usually styled the Fugitive Slave Law, approved September 18, 1850." THZ PENNSYLVANJA RAILROAD.—The contractors are now busily engaged in laying the rails on the Central road, be tween Johnstown and Lockport, in West moreland county. It is expected that the cars will be running West as far as Lock port, which is twenty-six miles'East of Greensburg, by the Ist of July next.— It is believed that the road will be comple ted to within eight miles of Greensburg by the let of October. The heavy cut ting and tunnelling at Greensburg will probably prevent, the Pittsburg Post says, the cars from running through to Philadel phia froin Pittsburg before the spring of 1852. RILEIDLLION AT TM , . CAPE OP GOOD HOPIC.-A late arrival at Roston, with dates from Cape-Town to the 4th of Feb ruary, furnishes the following intelligence : The Kaffir chiefs have again rebelled a gainst the English authorities, and it was feared, at the latest accounts, that the Hot tentots were also wavering in their loyal ty. Form last December the war has been continued between the rebels and their na tive and English allies, in which the form er were always victorious when they had an open-field tight. Accounts are daily received of murders of farmers in all quar ters. Sir Harry Smith, the English Gir , ernor, was forwarding levies to the sceno of war, and the colonists were aiding him, believ ing that in a prompt surpression of the re bellion was their only safety. It was thought that the Governor would soon be at the head of 19,000 men to march against the enemy. On the 21st on January, the Kaffir*, numbering 2,000 strong, attacked the col onists near Fort Hare, and were repulsed with the loss of !00 killed. On the 23d of January a strong force of Kaffirs at tacked Fort White, and they were disper sed with the loss of twenty killed. On the morning of the 7th of January the rebel chief Hermanus, with his Nord of Kaffir. and Hottentots, attacked fort Beaufort, and were repulsed. The chief, his eon, and a number of his people were killed. EMANCIPATION IN KENTOCIT.-A move ment of importance is going on in Kentuc ky. Cassius M.

It re vives the subjeet of the correspondence between Mr. Mathews, the British Consul, and the Governor of the State, touching the restrictions imposed on colored sea men employed on board of foreign vessels arriving in that State. It declares in sub stance that the State was willing to do for England, through a direct application of the British Government, what it would not do by an appeal through the Govern ment at Washington ! There is unques tionably a design on the part of the Nulli fiers to strengthen themselves, if possible, ' by a foreign alliance, just as there is on the part of the Disunionist, of the North to invoke aid from Europe in order to break up the Union.—New York Ex press. The New Constitution, lately framed for New Hampahire by a Convention e lected for that purpose, has been rejected by the people. The Concord Statesman of Friday says it is "entirely lost." Its most unpopular feature, we believe, was the system of representation which it con tained. It is stated, however, that a large majority of the voters refused to abolish the old and intolerant features of landed qualification rind religious test for office. THIS NNW CONSTITUTION OIP Ohio con taine among its features the non-imprison ment principle; the right to vote and hold office is confined to white persons; the Legislature is elected and meets biennially; no State debt exceeding $750,000 can be contracted ; corporations most be charter ed under general laws, and the next Legis lature shall appoint three Commissioners, who, under the general supervision of the Legislature, shall proceed to "revise, re form, simplify and abridge the practice, pleadings, forms and proceedings of the Courts of Record of the State ; and as far as practicable and expedient shall provide for the abolition of the distinct forms of action at law now in use, and for the ad minrstration of justice by a uniform mode of proceeding, without reference to any distinction between law and equity. JESVITIIIM IN MRXICO.-By a late act of Mexican Congress. three of the orders of priesthood have been abolished. By another Act, Congress has declared uncon stitutional an act of the Legislature of Queretaro, introducing the Jesuits into the State. THE FREE Negro law passed by the Delaware Legislature makes any free neg ro or mulatto coming into that State from another, subject to • fine of filly dollars, and in case of the non-payment and failute of security to leave in five days, he or she is to be sold out of the State for such a mount as will oover the fine and costs.— These penalties also stand against any free colored persons who has left the State for 80 days, and should return again, except they left us servants or seamen, or are traders from Maryland. There in these latter classes are allowed to come into the State as usual. There is a fine of 1120 al so against assembling at any political meet ing or treat, and 810 at any camp or out door meeting, except in connection with white people. There is a penalty also of $2OO against any commander of a steam boat for knowingly bringing into the State any free negro or mulatto to attend a camp or other meeiing.

New Churches. Few towns in the country. of the same popula. lion, can boast of I fairer proportion of neat and well-ordered houses of worship than Geuyaburg. For some time the spirit of improvement has been at work upon our church edificea—all of which have been either rebuilt or materially im proved within a few years, except the German Re. tensed and Catholic. And these latter ■re now at work in the way of improvement. The Ger man Rofortned Congregation have contracted with Mr. Jove Cearr:naa for the erection of a new church edifice on the site of the old building, for merly occupied jointly by the Lutheran & German gefaiined congregations. The old building is akeedy partly torn down. and the work of rebuild ing will shortly commence. The congregation worshipping in the Catholic church on Washing- ton street, have also determined to put up a new edifice in some more central portion of the town —subscriptions for which purpose are now being token up.

The propriety of the idea, no one will question—and the invaluable ends aubsemed by the institution, of such societies in other States are too notorious to permit the possibility of any opposition to the establishment of ours. It is only to be wondered at, that Pennsylvania is so far behind in adopting Some six or eight yeare ago one of our Tempe rance organizations instituted an inquiry into the effects of Intemperance as developed in connec tion with the Criminal end Poor Law proceed ings in Adams county. We do not recollect the particular data, but the inquiry exhibited a result quite as strongly marked as that developed in Schuykill county. How any thirukie; man in the face of feels like these, can vote'to legalize the liquor traffic does seem to WI somewhat re markable. Almost any other law, productive of half the amount of crime, destitution, and misery, would have been erased from the statute boots long ere this.

The increase in the valuation of pro- perty in the State has not been, for the last three lyears, by one third, what it was during the pre vious three, as appears from the figures : In 1645, the whole amount of taxable property in the Rata, as adjusted by the Board of Revenue Com mierrienere was $420.296,130 ; in 1848. it was $469.081.458 ; in 1851, it is $492,889,829, ' showing en increase from 1845 to 1848 of 542, 795,328 end from 1848 to 1851 of only $29,- 858,971. And it is worthy of remark that the Board attributes this felling off to the 'llepressed condition of the iron business and its influence up on the value of property in the Commonwealth." The Board raised the valuation this year above the returns of the several County Commissioner' to the amount 0(108,883,054, which will increase' the income of the State about $22,000 annually.

The moral effects , of "trials," the just sentiment that piety, or the fcar of God, is the only safe or raha• ble basis for the itability of character, and that ed ucation should be conducted with, reference to practical utility, are be autifully and prominently illustrated in this work, and those who have u• sinned the task of training the young mind may gather from it many profitable suggestions, awist-: ing them in the discharge of their important and honorable trust. It is obvious in this, as in all her literary labors, that the aim of the authoress is to improve the heart while she cultivate, the intellect ; and no one, whose taste is not perverted, or imagination diseased, but must perceive that her delineations of character are is true to their object as to nature . A German critic has somewhere said, "It al ways must and always will be • failure, when a wuman attempts to form •just conception of mow culine character, and to put her conceptions into language." A most lame and groundless ronclu lion. For if Nature manifests her designs in her work*, woman was destined not only to embellish and exalt the character and enjoyments of social life, but also to instruct her bona in the rudiments of knowledge. end to implant in their tender minds the leered sentiments of virtue and patriotism. Owing to a limited education, few women write upon all subjects as well as men ; yet in epistolary and colloquial efforts, they excel them in delicacy and beauty of imagery, and In refine ment and gracefulness of expression. If men gen erally have sounder judgment, it results rather from greater assiduity and culture than from any essential difference of the mental fecultiea. A sound judgment must be attained by constant mental exercise, the advantages of which woman is not permitted to enjoy. But for Le. Phelps and her "Ida" we claim no indulgence whatever and challenge the most cynical critic afoul. ca pacity to oho* that her conception end delineation or the characters of Louis Norm an and William Landon may not stand as models for imibitihn to the rising generation of young men. —Net. h..
