I have not felt that it 'was safe to form, much less to express an opinion on the nobles. There cap be no doubt.

Whether the accomplished editor is challenging a comp.s ion with himselthere, in the same spirt in which he referred to tie professional short comings of his antagonist, the latter =not, of course, pretend to any. The editor has been planed to inseam son dry inquiries, and to based sundry conjectures to regard to the professi.in, the resources, the feelings, and the habits of your eonmsindent.

It is well for him, however, that the inquiry stopped where it did.

Your correspondent Is dull enough not blne able to see exactly what all this has to do with the question. He tonderstands, however, the position of the editor of the Journal to be, that if he eon es tablish—first, that "Observer" Is no lawyer; ree =4 'tie he is seemly toe., to the Central Railroad Company, and, eerily, the he abhors legation and teatokeo no smell in any of our pub tio Ainthili hsa thentlemensitneed that.

His defence mud, therefore, rest epee the two which remain enameled. . _ --- And first, as to his alleged hostility to the Gee tral Road: To this be must be allowed ; to say that the imputation in entirely gramitonm-,that to far from being even that way inclined, he has al ways favored the project of a connection by Rail road with Philadelphia, end has individually la bored (or that object, used the lade influence he po. sewed for procuring a State coney of the blounuen Region—mervening , and even .flea upon tt fur the Ptalacelplita pino. when ill delphia was agog with the idea :of the Went Branch ralinnection with Erie, and the Conanareini Herald, then conducted by Nathan Rergennt, stood *lone among its Presses. la favor Of a Pitts burgh tern:onus—and years before the connection with us could have mustered a Corporofa guard .of respectable advmmtes in that city.

He mistrusted the, Cir of Philadelphia and its Managers, because re, had seen the epint.i.be act of Incorporation ale. Wee in the very outse,, by the abandonment of the heat Mean miles of the road at this extremity, and he rej Weed at the wise and enlutaty precau tion which presctibed the application of our own funds to our own territory, and which the Editor of the Journal, in the true spirit or a Philadelphian B 3 highly disapproves. And yet, when be saw the term. of one subscriptions openly and atiamelesaly 'Minted, and.disregarded by the application of no ' ' " MEE= - - of the amount, to purposes entirely external to na, h• did not even open' his lips. It was only when he observed the project avowed in Philadelphia of expending our whole contribution fir their benefit, and extorting from us an additional half million, by leaving to us the alternative of wagon. log through the mud for a distance of rorty miles, and when he saw, moreover, the Company de. fended; and our own position misrepresented at home; that he did peak 4ar the Mu time. What could he do else, or any other man who abhors ' bad faith, or has a Pittsburgh heart in his body. Your correspondent is, however, constrained, in all candor, to confess that, if the opinlen that thin community has a deeper interest In the Western Road than in the Philadelphia connexion, and that the how belongs more appropriately to that city than to us, implies hostility to the Central Road, then he is guilty. He in not, however, without companions In this reproach; He bear. it in common with n very large pioportion, he doubts not, a very large majority, of 'the thinking men of this city. • .. , In regard to the third and last specidcation of the Journal, your correspondent has. not touch to say. That he does abhor and detest taxation in many of its forms, and especially when it a very oppressive or unequal, he must in all honesty ad mit. As our anoutoni, however, aid their Eng lish progenitors were foolish enough to go to war and spit their blood freely upon several Impotent occasions, upon the same ground, he hopes to be excused for it as a vice of inheritance.

Ms. Eons-1 wu truly surprised at the per 'cession of taste displayed by the editor of the Mercury, in endowing the sentiments of his an. respondent "Minim," who, in the Mercury of 2lat inst., abuses "a gentleman' or refined and min- voted taste, for not admiring music set to foreign and unintelligible jargon. Really, Kr. Editor, this tinging in a language a body can't understand is an intolerable nuisance, and Ought to be Put stop to. Why not stick to our own gotta old Englistil—a tongue capable of expressing every thing within the reach of hunish thought and feel ing; and which, fur power of imitation stands en• rivalled. Among the many eXamples that ;might be adduced in proof of this assertion,but one here, which I Had in a beautiful English song:— "The huk's thrilling ausln, The lark's thrilling strain, And list to the sound of The luk's thrillin6 audit." Now, what could be better than that I! How expressive of the sentiment! ' Why, the mere sound of the words, in the absence of all mule, bi enough to mod • thrill to the heart of every feels log individual. Possibly some musical enthuslut may here declaim on the vast superiority of music as a language, its compreherudveness ben com pared with the ordinary medium of oommuniza• ties; its infinite res:nrces in depicting the thou,. and difflerent shades and varieties of passion tad sentiment; Its bawdy and vendee', std the rich reward uniting those who will bat take the trouble to understand its nature and Its capacities, and the like mote. But this, of course, I. all staff andnonsense, unworthy of a man whose soul Is oatrammeL'd by a knowledge of crotchets and quavers. harmony, rythoi, .a Other encumber ances and pedantries, that constitute the sauce of music. I °zinc with the "gemleaum" that a man le the more capable of judging of music, the less he know. of these things; Inasmuch as the impressions produced on hie mind by its indoence are entirely anbiassed and natural. To be sure, there has been a great deal of ninth composed without any words at all, and I have beard. for ' larcener, the symphonies of-Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, and others, spoken of in the moat raptly.. sus teems. Bet such nations are altogether &b. stud, and the daily purely, of an utter perversion of taste, brought on by over refinement. Bach things will never tent where music fa id:lowed to remain in its original purity, nnoont unmated' 'by what is called wt.

I can see no just reason why the majority is out to decide, as well In matters of sit as in politica; and who will deny that, an this cue, the wane is with est. The "gentleman' has spoken my sentiments when he um that "the simple and tne sublime are Inseparable in mosicr and I mud sonfus, that to my unsophisticated ears "Bonnie Dow," or "Barns' Farewell," perthrmed epee the Getman flute, ale much more eoceptsble than riuses much vaunted and incomprehensible Aeries With regard to the charm exercised by the wade of many ot the old Scottish ballads, I perfectly agree web the "gentheman;".for who could be in ert:Debit, to the beauty and throe of the following . lines of Berne— .Thenneiat out apak • mole curdy Wha knot to weal to clack the *tuft For motile • ;Amite she had booked And had in mllOlll a welt been docket.

There are taw more interesting subjects to the people orOhi.,, than the comparative menu of the three great oval Railroads, which are propesed to connect them mutt the Eastern cities- They the Northern,or Lake Shore Line; the Can route, which creases. the . _ . tral, or Penneyivama Ohio Cane! as Mem:dont and the ...... Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. The law of 'haze lines is now making • dupe. ate effort to pu.h throustiro V7heeling, over'. the mountains of Western Y rginin The extraordi nary and unparalleled character of the route adopt. ed by the company, Is cutlet but little known in Ohio; but the troth should be known. By refer. once to the recent annual report of the Baltimore. and Ohio Railroad Company, (page 29,) it will be 50tH that the distance from Wheeling to Curisber• land by the railroad will be 211 miles. Now the distance between the minds by the National Turn• pike road In 131 codes, malting an Increase of more then Wady per cent. over the turnpike mace- Some persons may suppose that a line that!is so very crooked most be very level; but thin is far from the 'tact. Two tremendrus mountains are to be crossed; first the Lsarel Hill, with grades of , 105 feet per rude Ming up It: then a tunnel:three vwfters cf a wife fang! and then grades of 105 feet per mile going down It—after that comes the I Allegheny mountains, with grades of 116 feet per rode going up, nod the same going down! Grades 105 and of 110 lest per-mile ageing the pre ponderating trade ! Teem is nothing like it in the country, and none but Itself can be as parallel Then id to the cost : the average coat of l ed sns bridging far mom than 24 miles, will exceed $45,000 per mile. We is tote fficial abatement ; and any one who doubts it, quested to refer to the company's own report. • Now, of it is wryve important to go to Balti more, rather than to Philadelphia and NeM.York, there is a much easier way of doing it. The red road dtsumee from use Ohio river, at Wheeling, over the Virginia mountains to fraltienore,,will be 390 mica; while the railroad dustnoen item the Ohio river At Putsburgh to Baltimore will be only 335 miles, or 55 miles by the Penuastmuth Can. twit route to Harrisbuhrh,and thence to New York and Baltimore. The living in grades is still more remarkable than the vim in distance. On the Oentral route in crossing the mountains between Pittsburgh and Harrubursh, (and there is bat one mountain to croon) that:immune do grade going east ward a only filly per itule. Coming westward, at one pace, tho maximum grade wid be shout 60 feet per mile, as on the Massachusetts Western Railroad.
