THE TATLOB OEETISO.
'. , Wasswotos, Dec.- 30,1537.
. The friends of General | Taylor in the'District,
uy they mean "to pick the flint and try it again."
The meetirigwas broken jap lut night, or rather
its object : defeated,-from j the unpopularity of its
.leaden. Pint there was Dufl" Green, the conspic
uous man in the lead, hateful to a majority of the
citizens of the. District, from the port he bore in the*
Jackson “Reign of Terror.: He was then Govern*
. mect Prinier and President General ofthe Jackscn |
. Clobs of the Capitol,—and Paris was hardly worse, |
- the bodily decapitation excepted, during the French
Reign of Terror, than Jocksonism when the Amer*
„ lean Jacobins' and the Kitchen Cabinet had so*
preme authority. j
Thera was something quite smoking about the
• meetingjas* evening. It Was called upon'ihe res*
- - possibility of one man, and the hour earned was
eight o’clock, long before which some lew persons I
fottbgelher at Colman’s Hotel, and were found
blocked op and preparing Resolutions and officers
; for the-, meeting. The multitude outside did not |
. ttkethU exclusiveness. The true friends of Gen* !
' erpl Taylor did not like it, nor the lead under which
•’was got up. When, tharefore, the' doors were |
CpettMTlb© curtain rose, and the play'begaa. Mr.
' ; Bibb,Mf. Tyler's Secretary of the Treasury, from:
* Kentucky, now a resident of the District, was pro- 1
; posed as Chairman, and tho motion was rejected, i
. fifty to a-dozetu A President and Secretary were
. then chosen having sentiments congenial to' the i
Whigs of the city.. Then came the ; struggle* be* I
tween - present and future action,—whether any
thing should be done now or at some future day.
This end was as 1 wrote you yesterday. The ma
jority were averse to any commitment here and cow
in behalf of General Taylor. There whs, howey*
, -er, something of a debate between several of the
gentlemen present, as to who had a right to parti
; dpato in the proceeding* bf the meeting,—whether
til the citizens of the United States, or the citizens
of the District alone. Mr. Gayle, of Alabama, con*
. tended that as Congress had. exclusive .legislation
over this district, and as this was emphatically the
.■ Rjderal city of the Union, that the freest speech
; . tnd'tbs freest thought should be allowed to aIL
Mr.-Geatry, of Tennessee, another; Whig mem*
. bar of lhe House, went ahead of every body inhia
support of. General Taylor. He was for him with
a: Convention dr without a Convention,—with.a
. Caacus or without a Caucus. Nothing could pre
vent his election.
. _AB of which is preposterous. General Taylor
V cart no more be elected without a Whig nomina*
: / tbn by a Whig National * Convention, than the
Boose could elect a Speaker without voting upon
him. From the Loco Foco party be will receive
. no’ zupportj—nothingjndeed, but additional vituper
tifon and bad treatment ! This is all he has receiv
ed’thus far;—4mt a-hearty, unanimous, cheerful
rapport must he given to ! General Taylor by the
whole Whig party, before bo can be elected Presi
de at of the United States! The friends of Clay, of
"Webster, of McLean, of Scou, of Corwin, of Crit
‘teuden, of every true Whig in every'section ofthe
Union, must support General Taylor for President,
in order to elect him to that office. I put the ques-
tionto a conspicuous Loco Foco, at the Taylor
meeting last-might:* “Are you a Taylor manr -No.
. I am for my party's candidate, and no other, and if
they nominate the devil, horns and aQ, in a Demo*
eretie Convention, I wiO support him? Now, though
. Ido uothelieve the Loco Focos mean to nominate
~•: his Majesty of realms and “depths profound, 3 1 do
betters the dominant party will conjure up Satan,
- and his seven spirits beaidevto elect their man.—
It is such a combination we are to resist, and the
firmest unity of purpose and of action, can alone
give us the victory. • e. u-.

. Tux Meticas Mines yield on annual prodact
.- ■-s2o,oo(^ooo.''Mr Walker, 10^his laloi Communico
tion to Congress' says he;has laid an export duty
upon the products of the mines/which if faithfully
collected,Trill yield a.revinue ip our Government
of five hundred, thousand dollars.
The New Orleans Bulletin- suggests a mode
of taxing the mines, which appears feasible, and
SvooM be much more certain, effective and profib.
. able in Its results, than the one fixed, upon by the
Secretary of tbe Treasury. It is to levy a heavy
duty upon tbe importation into Mexico of quick
silver. Neither tbe gold nor the silver mines can
be worked without this articlc, and there is no
country in the world where smuggling is more
easily prohibited. The harbors are few and shallow
the roads bad, and transportation defficuU. A
duty such as has been suggested could, therefore 1*
certainly end efficiently collected.
, The product of the mines is, as before stated,
%20fi00fi00. The amount proposed to be raised
by Mr. Secretary Walker’s tariff oq Exports, (if c®
happened $500,000. The Mexican min
. tag distrfeti have been compelled io pay to their
own government, in the shape .of export duty on
gpedc, the amount of about $2,000,000 per annum.
This alhount, by levying ;a proper tariff of duties
on the importation alluded to, can 'tertainly . be n>.
•Used by tbe United States; for the: miners wjll a*
<’ readily pay to us the two millions of dolbra/rather
than be compelled- to suspend operations (as they
would to their own and they will not
‘Jasego tbe right of malriog .$18,000,000, by reason
t£ a m to the amount of two miliiohs.
If we are not misinformed, the mines of ilexico,
«r at least a great majorfty of them ore owned by
' British and' life imports of quicksilver
are in British bottoms,—(Mail Steamers.)
They cannot afford to suspend the operation of
their mines,-it would be disastrous to thousands of
operatives, and ruinous to! the proprietors.'. Com
merce would be materially injured by so disa*.
trous a step, and no apprehension need therefore be
' • •• entertained on that score. • «.
Tbe Government has assumed the power oflevy..
lag a tariff of duties on the different orticlesim
ported into Mexico, and while onerous duties are
exacted upon many articles of minor import—-this
great, and to Mexico, eUnmportant article is most
unwisely fns of duty. Quicksilver is n
wary subtle, and searching fluid, but coming to
Mexfeo as it docs in English vessels^—from causes j
•hove stated,—the . liabiluy of smuggling is 'very
. and however easy it may have been to
' ft«nn Anna into that country, it will, wo o
plae, be much' more difficult .to pass a British
Buamera, into a port in possession of American*.

• •'- T^ s bpdy nieeta at’tbe Qipfio! today, 1 and most.
all of tiie toeinben (a* informed) are
present. The political clmracter of tbe-body is
quite different from that of last year, and the pul>-
lie OrtWccply intervaicd a* to the remit of it* de.
liberations on 'matters of state policy; os well ns
on those of a National character, übout which there
seemed to bo but one opinion last year.
. In reference to general Legislation, tlicre is but
little called for at this time; and it is hoped; for the
sake of economy, that the session will close, its la
bora and adjourn at an early day. The revenueof
the State is* now sufficient by strict economy to li
quidate the semi-annual interest accruingnpon the
public debt, and,aatfefy the current demands upon
the Treasury. A large amount must be expended
for repairs upon our public works, which have su£
fered so'severely from the late heavy floods. Nev
ertheless under the wise administration of a Whig
-Treasurer, and despite'the grCat calamity which
has deprived the slate of thousands of dollars of
toll, there is upwards of $300,000 more in the
Treasury, than at a' corresponding period 6f last
year. This gives us the gratifying assurance that
the February will be paid, the honor and
faith of the State preserved, and a balance left in
the Treasury for curreut expenses. The State
Treasurer will not-find it neefesoary to negotiate a
ban of some thousands, on time, to be liquidated
by his successor, os Was the case at the time of hi*
induction into office. i :
Immediate action should be had in devising
mcosuccs'to create a fund for the final extinction
of the State Debt The great burden of our legis
lation for the past live or six been to pro
vido means to meet the interest. This has been
accomplished. Let us now look further, and pro
vide for the extinction of the debt itself. It bongs
over us like on incubus, weighing us down with
tax, crippling our energies for improvement, and
forcing many of our enterprising citizens to seek a
homo in other. Stales. Let our taxes be equalized,
the salaries of public officers diminished, the
sessions of the Legislature shortened, and there
will be found a sufficient annual revenue to an
swer the ordinary-expenses of Government and
create a sinking-fund for tbo Anal discharge of the
public debt.
In reference to the levying and collecU'on of tax
es great injustice is done to the citizen. : The star
ulcs should be immediately revised and amended.
Wc refer to taxes upon money at interest or bond
and mortgage, collateral inheritance tax, ire. A
person may lend money [say a widow.J and take
bonds and'mortgage in security of payment, the in.
lercsl upon which amounts to $4OO per annum. 'The
tax upon this will be so great as to reduce the legal
rate.of interest to about 4 per cent per annnm in
place of six.- .
To illustrate more fully, a person having $7,000 at
interest upon bond and mortgage, roust pay some
SSQ taxes, while the property mortgaged as security,
pays only from sloto $l2. This is radically wrong
and tends to drive capital from our state. No sc*
curity is considered preferable in any government
in Christendom, to that of realty,except atthepres
ent time in Pennsylvania, and we' hope the atten
tion of the present Legislature will be given to this
subject, that the tax law in reference to this maybe
amended. Those now having money out upon »e*
curity of this kind, are fsrting collmioru as rapidly
; as possible, in order to avoid the payment of a tax
upon their money sufficient to reduce their rate of
legal interest one third below the standard fixed by
'law, and five times ns large os that levied upon the
property held in security for the payment of the
money lent. . This -policy/if persisted in, will in.
our opinion be disastrous to-.the great interests cf.
the State, by forcing capital to seek more equitable'
channels in that of others.
Relative to Banks and the Incorporation of mon*
fed invitations, which have been the peculiar sub
jects of regard by “Democratic Legislatures (they
having chartered a' vast majority of those institu
tions in our state) we have only to say that mens 4
ures might'be adopted by which the precious met
als, to a great extent now in the vaults of ourbanks
could be retained, despite the great demandforex'
pollution.- It is well known, from denr bought cx.
pericncc, during the commercial and money pres,
sure of 1537, and subsequent year?, Pennsylvania
was made to bleed most severely In consequence
of her, defective banking system. The- issue of
Notes of a less denomination than five dollars is pro-,
hibited by act of Assembly. Community must have
a currency forits ordinari-business transactions, and
in the absence of small note, f our own. the issue
of bflnks of states by w'.. .. we are surrounded
a medium of exchange. More e*-’
pcciaily is this true wlien the precious metals are
being withdrawn from the cbannelsof business and
shipped to foreign countries. In exchangefor thc*e
small notes which form the basis of the every day
transactions of our people, the large notes of our
banking institutions are exchanged, gallic red up
presented at the counter of our banks, cashed,and
the specie withdrawn from amongst us; to supply
the vaults of those who*.-paper is in every day use
and not likely soon to return upon the parent Insti
tution. This has been the case heretofore. Several
millions of specie were withdrawn from the vaults
of the Philadelphia Banks, during one week, after
the last resumption of specie payments; and that,
too, by the Banks of -New • York and Maryland’
whose one and two dollar bills were pcrfomiingthc
ordinary business of our commonity.
Let us learn wisdom from the past. Crops are
now plenty in Europe, there will l>© less demand
for American provision*, (the great source of in-''
come for the past vicar) m the foreign market dur*
'ing the next season, and it is_ to be hoped for- hu
manity's sake, that the period will l« tong ere a
similar cause may l>ruur about such results. Spe
cie is being shipped both to Mexico and to for
eign ports, and seme weak banka are already much
sliaken in consequence. Pennsylvania banking,
institutions we believe are jana-firm basis, but their
cold and silver will soon be drawn out, onlem auch
strincent nieasures;are adoptod as will materially
cripple tbe general business of the country.
We are not of tho-c who are willing to search
tar seasons to predict evil, but surely the lessons of
the past should teach us to avoid the ruck upon
which twe have met disaster in former years. One
Pennsylvania bank bos recently gone by the board,
and the' credit of others is greatly suspected.-
Let the Rcpresentalivesof tbe people take these,
nmnng other things, into their seriousconsideration,
os tbe time has how cOme for cautious and easeful
action. *
We shall recur to these subjects again.

Orleans Picayune of the 21st instant contains an
account of a terrible tragedv whigh happened re
cently in' Hancock county, nlfes. ft seems that a
party of persons, with an reformer, named Brown,
went out in quest of two counterfeiters named
Wajiington qnd James Bilboa,’brothers, whom
they discovered at their nefarious business. These
men were arrested and subsequently released ou
bail Soon after Brown; the informer, and his son
in-law named Wage*, sold out their property, and
were about leaving Hancock county. The coun
terfeiters overtook them when a short distance on
their journey to wreak their vengencc on Brown,
and were both shot by Wages. One of them was
killed on the spot No measures had been taken
for the arrest of tfae murderer, who is dfecribcd os
a desperate ruffian.
An English Decision os a Vexed Question. —
The Court of Queen's Bench, all the :Judgea os

a deceased wi& is in violation of-tbe law of Eng*
land, such marriage having been prohibited by
two statutes passed in the reign of Henry the
Eighth. The decision waspronouncedlin the case
of one Chadwick, whose wife, Harriet Fisher, hav
ing died, he married her sister Anne; but being ad
vised that this marriage was illegal, afierward dis
carded it and married another, Anne- Fisher being’
still living. For this third marriage he was indicl
ou the charge of bigamy, and convicted; but the
conviction is now set aside, the Court holding that
his second marriage, with Anne Fisher, was no

fovor of the completion of the road-west, it is equal
ly unfavorable to any action that shall subject the
• Maryland improvements to the competition of oar
own Slate Works, present or prospective. We
; now give>xiracts from the joint report of the com
mittee oi the Bahimore’and Ohio Rail Road, made
on the 17th uit. After n word of preface, the report
uses tho following language. in relation to the
Wheeling route, as superior to the Pittsburgh ter
minus / .
“Tiro acceplance- of the law pawed -by the Leg
islature of Virginia, at its lost session,- in connec
tion with the compromise of the city of Wheeling,
baa opened to the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road
Company, a new field of labor; After a long peri
od of anxiety and solicitude, tho right of way to
the Ohio river has been secured upon terms which,
with some additional expense, may be rendered
satisfactory, and accomplish all the ’company huvo
heretofore aimed to acquire. The 'cbmmittee ratty
be excused\for alluding thus strongly to the ar
rangement with the city of Wheeling, impressed,
as they, have been, with the most earnest convic
tion that the Company, after so many year* of fruit
less tail, have at length triumphed over every ob
stacle, and that the city of Baltimore has now open
to her embrace dn unobstructed line of communi
cation with the resources of the Great West, by a
route well adapted to the important ends to which
her efforts have been heretofore directed.*’.
The report then goes on to argue that connection
with Ohio roads will be best attained by reaching
the river at Whcelimr, andpa.>Mc**un’lothc relative
cost of the routes: , j
“By the route proposed under the law of IM7,
as accepted by the Company, the distance to
Wheeling is estimated at 205 miles, and the entire
cost of the road os not exceeding $-5,900,000, with
only two tunnels of not {fibre than 3,500 feet in ag
gregate length. Tliis estimate does-not exceed by
more than $109,750, the cost of the. route, to the
heretofore proposed 'terminus at Ffehingj Creek,
when we take into the estimate, the contributions
by the city of Wheeling. 4 and comprises ‘less of
tunnelling by 1600 feet. By tho combined; route,
ns accepted by the Company, under the actof the
Pennsylvania legislature of IS2S, the leiigth'of the
road by way of Pittsburgh was estimated at 236 l
miles, at a cost.rif $6,610,000, comprising six tun
nels of 7000 feet aggregate length. Upon the route
most npproved by tho advocates of tne Connells*
villc and Pittsburgh charter, tho Committee would
remark, that the tunnels at the Savage mountain,
and the head of Caspelman’s river, would have
amounted in aggregate leugth t 04,500 feetTand in
the opinion of on eminent engineer, an additional
tunnel might buve been required, on the ridge im
mediately beyond' the Savage, inakiug a I total ef
5,100 feet -The commiuee have deemed it their
duty, to.be thus explicit, both as to the cost and tbe
practicability of the route now open to the Compa
ny, because of erroneous impressions wfhich have
long prevailed, and token deep root to the preju
dice of the enterprise. In view of the interests to
be accommodated west of the Ohio river,I the com
mittee do not hesitate to express the conviction,
that Wheeling occupies a most advantageous posi
tion as the terminus of our road.”
With regard to the trade of the extreme west
this report is equally decided against the route via
Pittsburgh. It says:
“In farther illustraticn of this' subject, it may be
well to “remark, that Columbus is nearer to Wheel
ing than Pittsburgh by 87 miles. The same result
would take place at Newark, 33 miles j cast, at
Springfield 43 miles west, and at Xenia, Dayton and
Cincinnati.
Columbus is nearer to Baltimore via Wheeling,
than to Philadelphia via Pittsburgh, by 59 (mile*.-
Columbus isfarther from Baltimore via Pittsburgh,
than from Philadelphia via Pittsburgh.by 1 mile.—
Tbe same results occur at Newark, Eash mid at
Springfield, Xenia, Cincinnati, or any other point
South. 7
These estimates go to establish the manifest eupe*
riority of the Wheeling terminus, and the necessity
for its adoption, if wc could counteract the danger
ous rivalry of Philadelphia. With the terminus of
our road at Pittsburgh. Columbus is farther from
Baltimore than from Philadelphia by one mile, but
nearer through Wheeling by. 59- miles. Can any
one imagine that this Company, with a terminus at
Pittsburgh, which gives an advantage of w milt
in distant*, an hrtiprri Baltimore and Ph iladtiphia, in
favor,of th* lattrr city, could maintain a successful
rivalry, with her advantages of capital and popula
tion? ’
/ The theory has been urged, that ncitlieribe rival
ry of other and hostile interests, nor the certainty of
intersections, should be. nutTered to oppose .iny ob
stacle in the way of to great an enterprise; bat
when a route presented for our adoptioii..which
gives to the city of Baltimore na actual advantage
in distance of 59 miles—over her md«4 fi *rnudable
rival, it can hardly be presumed that,try adopunga
terminus at Pittsburgh, we are to forego the facili
ties of our natural position,'and contribute by our
capital, to throw the weight in the scale of tut for
midable rival. A policy so destructive and suici
dal, could not be recognized among Imsinras uien.
•It may be true, that no policy, however exclusive,
can divert tbe current of trade fmtu iu/haturaland
legitimate channels; but It is not equally true, that*
community may not, by ti course of blind indiffer
ence to inevitable results, invite a destructive n*.
valry, which by a proper usCofiUown advantages
an J reronrees, may be either paralized lor defeated
altogether.
The Committee liave reason to assume them,
both from the facts above stated, as welt ax tbe en
tire unanimity with which the Stockholder* have
acted, including both the State nnJ City, that a
route ba« been secured, which hi* mi*el the cor
dial approbation of those uio-4 concerned;
and it only remains' to pres* un to completion, in
the earliest practicable time, a work which premia
e* such mcalcnoblu results‘Uo the State |al large,
and which from causes tieyond die control of the
Company, have been already too long delayed.
The Committee next come to the consideration of
the “ways and means” and give their rijsources
for extending the road, first, the 2-slh aidwcriptiou
on the part of Virginia, which indeed looks probable,
an a mauJavuu has just been issucd,.undentlic law
commanding the Board of Works u> take the usual
state quota in the Louisa road... *
In addition to this, the Baliirnq're company mean
to make theirs the mail route, and get some aid
fi-om the Post Office Deportment if possible, and
lastly mean to depend upon themselves, and make
the road build itself This last plan meets the .ap
proval of the citirens of Baltimore whofi* opin
ions arc embodied in the following commuaicaj
Don signed "common sense,” end published m tho
American of that otjc *’ • .
. .“If-tturTax-payers of Baltimore Will promptly
unite. and decide to forego the £103.000, dividend
io.Bonds wliich at tbe present value of the Divi
dend Bonds, say SOI, produces ito tbo City Treav
ury but -SbI.OOO in cash, there w|li lie but very little
difference of opinion in ibis community on the a
bility of the Company to finish the work, and with
out sacrifice of credit or means, realize in some
measure ‘lbe magnificent ritioiu of prosperity"
which are now relied on to form a basis of credit.
Stop the dividends, until the work is finished in
■uch a manner as the President of the ooiupanv.
in his report of October last, explains to the Stock
holders that a road ought to be tinished.
The credit of the Company with capitalists will'
be unquestioned when a policy prevails in the ad
ministration of Die Road-Which ensures the safety
of their capital and interest.
It is but justice to the President of thn Company
to remind the citizens of he'was
understood to be in favor of applying Ibe revenue
of the rood to its construction and re-construction,
but that he was obliged to yield to his Board..and
reluctantly ogrecd to declare the dividends of
l&lCund 1817. Whether this be correct or.not,-it
was generally so believed. '
In older to meet th? objections on tho part-of
some private Stockholder* in the Company, a'very
lew of wliom hold Suick originally •mb-'Cribcd, it

heavy gratuity they receive from the Tax-payer*
of the City of Baltimori-, when that Corporation
with a praiswortby liberality subscribed. at $lOO

• To this we append the reply of of the com
mittee” from the. Baltimore Patriot-
We are gratified to perceive, frotn aii article m
the American of Saturday, that the recent address
of the Committee of |ho Baltimore and OWb Hull
road Company has attracted public attention to the
necessity of an early prosecution of this great
work to the Ohio' river; and uhhough we wight not
he expected to concur in the exclusive responsi
bility which the tfrtfcle would impose upon the
present Stockholders, without uid from others ts
anally, if not more interested iu tho extension of
the road, we liave no doubt, if the writer's zeal
could he common with all closes of our follow
citizens. Die Board of Directors would be greatly
encouraged in the arduous task committed to
them. j 1 ' T
We are very sure, however, that tho articlg in Die
American doc* fi«» more than justice to the unwa
vering purposes and policy of tile l r n:*ident of the
Company, ond we imxzard little in saying,, that,
when Die incans and recommendations presented
and urged by him before Uiu Committee, some
tune prior to their address, shall be understood fu
all their bearings, it will apjfoar that, few, if any,
resources that might bo sugjrp*tcd by other* a* ex
pedient and aVBt!ahle.for the purpose, havo esen
fed the prompt and earnest atteption of those who
ave the business in hand; and that in some sclu
ally maturing, sure means of an early extension
of the road will be indubitally provided. At the
same Drae the modifications bv which tho Comp tt .
ny’a credit and resources, of any description, may
be applied to the attainment of their object, involve
■ mutapbaty of detail which often constitutes tho
real diSadtuts u their spphcation; and m the pres

miltee, in the measures they would recommend,
the fruit of their labors can only bo realized with
the sanction of tho Board.
- That sanction,.is understood, will be invited at
the next stated meeting, and in the mean time the
Committee havtrfully dbeJiargeil their duty, in on
explicit avowal of their' own belief) that by the
means they would adopt, the rdad muy, with entire
certainty, and in u very few years, lie prosecuted
to its terminus on the Ghio River. More than this
before the filial detenuinntion of their colleagues
of the Board, it would lie iifdecorous in them to.
state. *
Thu proposition to.bc.mude to the Board of Di
rectors, indicated by “one of the Committeeis
known to be a recommendation to devote the earn
ings of the road to its extension to Wheeling, .which
added to the Virginia subscription, and tbe increas
ed confidence capitalists will have from these cau
ses will enable the Company to reach the Ohio, uud
.shun Pittsburgh, um they show themselves so anx
ious to do; Such, in brief, is the whole" history- of
the proceedings in rclulion to the Ohio read down to
(he present duy, and those in lerested must draw
their own crinclusiooh.
It need not bn said, that the question of which
is the better route for Pittsburgh and the West, has
been, and still is, one of great' interest For year*
this has been a leading question for consideration,
and though it is now certain that we have n proper
channel of communication at hand, in the Central
road, it is equally certain that a large class of our.
citizens are unable to relinquish tho hope they have
; so long lietd of reaching the Atlantic via Baltimore.
While the peo'plo of Pittsburgh adhere most per
severingly to their part of the agreement, by which
in connection with tho citizens of Maryland, the
seaboard was to be reached, it cannot be denied
that the official action of tho people of Maryland,
os well as of tho Maryland road, has been inimical
to our interests. Pittsburgh was well enough while
< Virginia refused the desired right of way and the
western terminus, but these granted, the roost elab
orate arguments arc made to show that a connec
tion with Pittsburgh would be ruinous to Baltimore
interests, and thoseof Maryland. A press of mat
ter has prevented the publication of the reports al
luded to, but we now give the important parts, as
their interest is still great They will be found to
contain not only arguments to show that wc have
little, ifmdecd, we have any hope from our before
anxious friends of the Southern line, as well as
strong reasons why we should keep tho capital of
Pittsburgh directed to the Western and Eastern
Central roads. Jf Pittsburgh and Western Penn
sylania still see their interest in the Southern con
nection, and can obtain it upou terms honorable to
Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh, let us have it by al*
means. Let every’ man who writes or talks upon
this question of rail roads, resolve to look to the in*
terest of Pittsburgh alone, and the result cannot be

to the late steamboat disaster
We are called to record the m&t agonizingseenc

as we hope never to see again, fefhe steamer A.
X. Johnson, Capt. Abraham BennoU. the splendid
new Wheeling and Cincinnati packet, on her first
trip up last night, when about ten miles above this
city, at U o’clock, blew up with a tremundoui ex

ward of tbe wheel-house.' The boat took fire im
mediately, and burned to the waters edge.
Tbe news of the disaster was brought to Mays-,
vilio by three passengers in a skitf,ntan carlvhottr
tlus morning. As soon as the steamer Dan'L Boone,
which had ju«t come up through the ice. with nearly
all her buckets broke, could lie sufficiently repaired,
about JOO of our citizens—committees from the
Masonic 2 lodges of Odd Fellow*. 3 Divisions of
Sons of Temperance, Oriental Evanics, andon tlio
part ofthe citizen*—«* many a* it wjis thought
would be useful’—repaired onlioard. and reached
tiie scene of destruction about half past twelve! o'-
clock this morning. All had been dune before (hat
that could be done, bv Messrs. Granville Dye, < tcu.
F. Wilson, Andrew and C. Wilson, at whose hou
