S., Edger ton, was made with the design of rnak ing the road tributary to New York, in stead of Pennsylvania interests. The Cleveland Herald, in a recent article, mi nute as much. It says "In plain terms, the western line has been used as the cat's paw with which the Pennsylvania Central people have raked the chestnuts from the fire." Here there appears to Jits the true cause of the present difficulty. t In the recent " railroad war," the New York roads retired from the field hors du cont.: bat, and in the present contest it is apparent thatthey have attempted an impossibility. The two roads which connect Philadel phia and Chicago, are regarded, by the busi ness community of both the East and the West, as one great continuous line. It has been demonstrated that its facilities for doing business at rates to please shippers, and in better time than the New York routes are un equalled by any road in the country. It is the natural route between the North-West and the seaboard, and, as such, must =thane to command a fair share of the business. , The domestic rivalry between the New York roads, and the joint general rivalry between the two and the Pennsylvania and Bal timore routes, has resulted in favor of the latter. The result has been that the New York railroad schemers have im agined that if they could get control of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chica go road, they could, by using a portion of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati road, tap it at Crestline, and thus divert freight and travel from its natural route by way of Cleveland over their own roads.— The local interests of Cleveland would of course 'fever such a projeCt, that city being connected with Pittsburgh by another and entirely different railroad. With this design; the New York schemers cast about for some method to get control of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago road. They find that they can control a small amount of mortgage bonds, the inter est of which, due in October, has not been paid, and straightiray they go to Cleveland which is ready to favor their designs, and ask the appointment or a Receiver and to make a show of fairness to the other credi tors of the Road, they send for the Vice President of the road and procure the Court to give him this position. The proceeding is purely an &parte one, for the manage ment of the road have no notice of it until after it has : been consummated. The per sons who have procured the appointment of a Receiver represent perhaps $l5O -or *300,000 of the obligations of the toad. - 'the Board of Directors are the guardians .and custodians of an investment of . capital amounting to something like fifteen millions of dollars. The affairs of the road have been administered with sore, judgment, ability and fairness. The public, the stockholders, and the creditors of,the road, with the ex ception of the holders of this handful of bonds have the most perfect confidence in them and in the wisdom of their manage ment. The working facilities and income of the road have steadily improved under their control. It is their duty to defend themselves and the immense interests of which they have charge from all interference, of interested' parties repreSenting a mere' fraction of the creditors of the road, who made the aecret and es-parte attempt' to obtain control of the road, not so much . to secure these few bondholders whose claims are beyond - peradventure safe as to divert the trade of the North-West trom Pennsyl , vania to New York. The attempt, however, we are sled to say, is.like to prove as futile as it was unneces sary and wrong. The appointment of a Sequestrator here by a Pennsylvania Court in the person of Hr. Db. Puy at the instance of the domestic creditors here, has checked all danger for the present of any injury from the hasty and improvident action of the New Yorkers. This gentleman is man aging his trust ably and faithfully, and the working forces of the road have confidence in his action. He will not interfere'with the general policy of the management of thb road, and will proceed strictly :in. accord _ ance with thslina of duty, which the Court that appointed him shall order. ite has undisputeCcontrol and management of the affairs of the road in Pennsylvania. On :Saturday we learned by : telegraph that the Superior Court Of Chicago had granted in injunction, restraining J. K. Ed gerton, Esq., lately appointed Receiver by the Federal. Court of Ohio from interfering with the Board of Directors in the manage ment of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. Company in. Illinois. A meeting will be held in this city on Wednesday, neat, of the bondholders -and other parties - interested in the success and Prosperity of_the Company, to decide upon some course of action which shall be mull ally satisfactory to all parties, and keel; the road under a single management. That mail agement should undoubtedly be the Board Of Direcqls elected by the stockholders - of the , Conap.' , . - r";‘Their general policy has been rip public, and has been maid -,;beatiterest of all concerned. causes which we have stated, " ;- -t_th influences e ray: of the Ps, th • is,'nor has there ; p_ . eedings which . agement of ,` c r • er. hands " • I irectors. THE DI*FICIULTy BETWEEN B. J. HALDMIAN AND. SPEAKER LAW. RENCE. The Gazette, of this,eity, S having published an article, groSsly misrepresenting; the facts of the recent difficulty between R: "J. Haldeman, Esq., editor of the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, and Speaker Lawrence, of the Penn sylvania House of Representatives, we publish the following statements of the facts, as set forth in the Washington States and Union. The subject is a delicate one, and in this com munity, where both the gentlemen are known, distorted statements • and misrepresentations should not be permitted A Card. Owing to frequent; unscrupulous, and vile personal assaults upon ,me,- during eighteen months past, in the.columns of the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, I had been-seeking (reluct antly compelled to adopt this course,) the res ponsible party connected with that journal, when on Monday, the 28th of November, I met Mr. Wm. C. N. Lawrence, in Harris burg. He, almost immediately after our meet ing, referred to an article, published in the Patriot 4-.. Union some weeks previously, and demanded from me a promise of public retrac tion or apology therefor. -This I declined, un til, at least; I could reed the article,which I did not think contained anything exceptionable, or until I might consult the - friends in whose .ltands the - whole matter had been placed.— Thereupon he volunteered the avowal of his responsibility for all the assaults made upon me in the Telegraph., of which- he declared himself third owner; at the same time remark ing that he should soon pass beyond the limits of Pennsylvania. Washington was indicated, and in accordance with our mutual understanding, 1 arrived in the city on the let of December, and Mr. Lawrence on the 3d.. I. waited some haws, with the exception that Mr. Lawrence would communicate with me in reference to the first Mentioned and his illegal cause of griev ance but being disappointed in this, I ad dressed to him on the 3d, through the hands of my friend, Joseph B. Stewart, a peremptory demand for apology or satisfaction, which lat ter demand was answered by an unconditional acceptance. • The conduct of Mr. Lawrence and his friends before and after this acceptance, is fully detailed in communications which are appended. I can merely say that Mr. Law rence and his friends left the city four days ago, without giving me the slightest notifica tion of their intention, and without stating when, if ever, they will return. I have now waited for their reappearance until imperative engagements call me elsewhere. Consequently, the only cpurse for me to pursue ,is to make the facts public, without ,comment, leaving gentlemen everywhere to form their own con clusions. R. J. 11A.LDEMAN. W.L.SHINOTOIT, - Dee - ember 9, 1859. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8, 1859 DEasa Sea : I delivered Wm. C. N. Law rence, esq., your note of the 3d instant, a copy of which •I returned, and herewith inclose, marked A. On the sth I received from Mr. Lawrence, through the hands of Chu. M. Hall and George Bergner, esqs., whom he nominated as his friends to act for him in thepremises a note acknowledging the receipt of yours of the 3d, and responsive to its demands. I inclose the original marked B. I was then prepared and proposed to pro ceed at once with such further preliminaries as are usual in such cases, when, for some reason, those gentlemen deferred action until further deliberation with their friends. Not hearing further from them on that day, I waited till the 6tb, and then prepared a com munication, the original of which I herewith inclose, marked C, which was addressed to Messrs. Hall and Bergner, desiring them to proceed to a final adjustment of this matter. I lroceeded with the note, in person, to their odgings at the National Hotel, where 1 met Mr. Hall. Ho accosted me by saying that he desired a copy of Mr. Lawrence's note of the 6th, which I gave to him, at the same time handing my note of the 6th, above alluded to. Ho desired me not to press that note upon him at that moment, saying that Mr Lawrence !nad left the city; but that he, Mr. Hall; was 'here, and wished till 3 o'clock to make known to mo his final action on the premises. I ex pressed my surprise at Mr Lawrence's depar ture at such a stage of the correspondence be tween you. air. Hall excused Mr. Lawrence's absence by saying he would return at a mo ,ment's warning, and promised to give a final ;answer by'3 o'clock. I kept myself in resdi ness to hear from Mr. Hall till that hour, but, •receiving no message, waited until 4 o'clock p. in., when I called at the office of the National Hotel, and was informed that ho had left the city on the 3 o'clock train, leaving no message for me. ' I waited till the Bth, arid hearing nothing from Mr. Lawrence or his friends, and there being no ono with whom to communicate further, I can only repeat the facts, and return you the correspondence, which you aro at liberty to use in such manner as your discretion may dictate. Respectfully, your obedient servant, Jos. B. STEWART. R. J. 114.1.Ds.maN, Esq. NATIOT.L&L HOTEL, Dec. 3, 1859 Dman Sea: On Monday evening last, when meeting me in Harrisburg in the presence of Mr. Wm, Dick, Jr., you introduced the subject of an article which appeared in the Patriot 4. Union the day after the departure of Mr. Dock and yourself for Cuba, and to which you expressed certain exceptions. You also de clared yourself personally responsible for the gross attacks appearing at various times in the Telegraph, reflecting upon my character as a gentleman, and concluded these remarks with a suggestion that you would be pleased to see me elsewhere than in the State of Pennsylva nia, and Washington city was indicated. As we have been for some hours in the same he tel, and you not calling my attention to your alleged cause of complaint, 1 deem it due to myself, under your declaration of responsibili ty, to make a demand upon you in reference to my own grievances. I take it for granted, from the spirit of your remarks to me, that you are aware that I for some time have been seeking satisfaction from. the Hon. Joseph Casey who referred the mat ter to the Hon. Simon Cameron,in whose hands the correspondence was suspended. Presum ing from your declared responsibility,that you assumed the burden at the stage to which I had progressed when dropped by Mr. Camer. on, I now demand an unqualified retraction of each and every article in anywise reflecting upon my character, which appeared in the Telegraph ; or, if refused, I shall expect you to indicate a suitable place beyond the Dis trict of Columbia, where I can visit you with such further demands. as will call upon you di rectly for that measure of satisfaction recog nized between gentlemen. My friend, Joseph B. Stewart, Esq., will act for me in the prem ises. Very respectfully yours, J. HALDEMAN. MR. WM. C. A. LAWRENCE. WABtTNOTON, Dec. .5, 1859 Sus: I have received your communication of December 3d. All matters of dispute be tween us have been referred to my friends, Charles M. Hall and George Bergner, who have full power in the premises. Yours, truly, W. C. A. LAWRENCE. Cot.. R. J. H.samsst.s.N. WASEILNOTON, Dec, 0, 1869 GENTLEMEN : On the 3d inst., R. J. Halde man, Esq., addressed a note through me, as his friend, to W. C. A. Lawrence, Esq., making a demand for personal satisfaction for certain causes of complaint and injuries therein men tioned." •On • yesterday, the 6th, I received through your hands, as the friends of Mr. Lawrence, a note acknowledging the receipt of Mr. Haldeman's note of the 3d, and which named you as his friends to act for him in the premises. I then was", and still am, prepared to proceed to the further arranging of such preliminaries as are usual in such cases, and I hope you will be so good as to indicate in what method, and the time and place this mattershallproceed to a final adjustment, as it is not desirable, nor wader the ,circumstance - premissable, to con tinue it pehding in its present shate.

BURGH ART ASSOOIATION. The gentlemen who have for some weeks past-been devoting their time and attention to getting up an exhibition of paintings in Pitts burgh; have achieved a perfect triumph. On 'Saturday night, the gallery was opened for pri vete view, and was visited by a large number of members of the press, and other invited guests. It astonishing how much Mr. Wolff, Mr. Wall, Mr. Gillespie and the other mem bers of the committee have accomplished in the shbrt space of time they have been at work. Two hundred and fifty splendid paintings, by great number of artists, have been collected a and most tastefully arranged in the large, well lighted hall, in fine frames, and with all the necessary accompaniments. We doubt if any city of the Union can boast of a more exquisite collection. Tho gems of art have been gath ered from private collections, and thus an agreeable variety of subjects are presented. There is taste in Pittsburgh, we know, and if this exquisite artistic exhibition does not bring it out, we shall be greatly disappointed. Every Pittaburgber should attend this exhi bition. To-day the gallery will be open to the pub lic, and will continue open from day to day for some weeks. A rich treat is in store for the ,public taste, and every one should lend his and her aid in support of so praiseworthy a public enterprise. RESISTANCE TO THE DECISION Of. THE COURTS. The Commercial Journa/ of Saturday states that "Every officer that will be in office after the first day of January is pledg ed to anti-tax:resistance, without regard to the decisions of the Gurts." These .officers are all Republicans, and the Republican party must shoulder the responsibility if true, of positive disregard to the decisions of the Courts. This is repudiation with a ven geance. Fire Arms in ,Virginia On Wednesday, in both Houses of the Virginia Legislature, a bill was reported ap propriating $100,001) for the purchase of fire arms and munitions of Nv:u•, to be distribu ted by the Governor among organized vol unteer companies in exposed portions of the State. In the House a communication was presented from the Hon. C. J. Faulk nor, urging an appropriation for the relief of G. VIT 6 Richardson of Martinsburg, and Samuel C. Young, of Charlestown, who was wounded at Harper's Ferry. bill was reported in the House to pay the'expenses ieurred b the Governor in the Harper's bei ry affair. - - The Law of Fashion. The slaves of fashion are the most ab jrxt slaves in the world. Fashion takes pos session of them body, soul and purse. It rig them up in most fantastic shaptand then open• the purse strings to make her devotees par for being made fools of. It takes the men and dress es them all in a Shanghai coat, or a sug.ir-loaf hat, or a pair of pants so tight as to make lo comotion difficult, if net dangerous sendi them abroad upon the public pave, and then says pay for this. The pour wretches who congratulate themselves that they are under the dominion of fashion, afflict to look with pity and disdain upon those of their fellow mortals who have not the badge of fashion upon them, and waddle along in self compla cency until they reach the privacy of their chambers, when they hasten to deliver them- Selves from the self-imposed torture. With women it is no better in fact it is wore°. Fur with women fashion plays her most mis chievous pranks. Now the ediet goes forth that the bonnet shall be like a sugar scoop, the gown shall be low-reeked, the sleeves shall be full and flaunting, and the skirt shall b of convenient shortnesz and that on the back, 'over the hips an enormous hump, like the hump 'of a camel shall be worn. Aiwa, in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, the whole pro gramme is changed. The edict goes forth, and :all obey, that the bonnet shall be a clapper little thing, tied to the back of the bend, the dress shall be high necked, the sleeves shall be of moderate size, the skirts long and that under neath shall be a bell-shaped petticoat. which shall spread out the skirts to an amplitude ab solutely amazing. Well, the women b.-.w to the decree and you shall see every day upon the streets women of every degree sweeping down the public walks with skirts variously describ ing a circle of from ten tolifty . ftet. A new edict has now been given which all womankind will obey. Indeed, they would obey a law of fashion whatever it might be, whether it respired skirts no lower than the knee, or dresses no higher than the arm pits. The new edict banish the crinoline. Hear that ye ladies who glory in your magnetical amplitude. The law is certain, and come from the very throne of fashion itself. At the dictate of her Majesty, the Empress Eugenic, crinoline is definitely banished, and for promo mules in ordinary toilettes mousseline de lain< has been adopted. All dresses will be of this material, but not long and trailing. They are to be short no at to show the lower part of the leg a little. It will not belong, we im agine, before the ladies of America will show their loyalty to the behest of fashion's Queen, by adopting this picturesque dress, which shows 'the lower part of the leg a little." So we go. If conscience makes cowards of us all, fashion makes fools of us all. Now we regard fashion as a cheat, a humbug, a faithless jade, full of nonsense and cajolery, but lacking in that quality which should give it an endur ing claim upon our regards. There is no varie ty in fashion. It presents an eternal and in sipid sameness. Itis a blind goddess and rec ognizes neither age, nor size, nor shape, nor complexion. It ordains that a garment of a particular cut shall be worn, and all men, if it is for male wear, and all women, if it is for female wear, must adopt it upon pain of being read out of the fashionable world. No matter if the wearer is old and wrinkled, or young ' and fair; tall and slender, or short and squab shaped, it is all the same; he or she must sub mit or suffer the penalty of being proscribed by the devotees of fashion. • We say knock fashion in the head as a de testable humbug. Cut loose from it, and lot ove-y one employ their taste in the selection of their wardrobe, making sure, always, to keep within their means. So shall the public whether in the street or in assemblies, present a more seemly and interesting appearance by showing an agreeable and tasteful variety in costume, and so shall they avoid the rock of pecuniary embarrassment, which always lies directly in the track of those who make it a point to obey all of fashion's laws, however absurd or costly they may be. Wo should not then see the men at a drawing room, all dressed in sombre black that suggest funeral ideas, or with garrote collars that suggest painful ideas of choking to death; nor the women in pre posterous crinoline, under which half a dozen mischievous urchins might hide with perfect safety. Wealthy Turfmeu It is estimated that the income of Win. Mc- Donald, Esq., owner of Flora Temple, reaches $BO,OOO annually. He is ono of the most en terprising gentlemen in America, and though he d >es not breed racing stock, ho is always ready to pay the largest figures for good horses. Hon. Duncan F. Kenner, of Louisiana, has a plantation valued at $200,000, while his negroes aro worth $lOO,OOO more. He lays by a contingent fund for racing purposes every year, and has from six to nine flyers constantly on hand and in training. Tne Senate Committees. The Standing Committees of the Senate have 'not yet been arranged. It is said Mr. Toombs and some others, desire the restoration of Mr. Douglai to the Chairmanship of the Commit tee on Territories. This certainly ought to be done, and if done would go farther towards uniting and harmonizing the Democratic party than anything which has been done fur years.

He has all the qualifications to con stitute an efficient and popular officer, and the Company has been fortunate in, the selection. Indiana and the Presidency. The Indianopolis Sentinel shows from the records that the Democracy of Indiana, in 1852, and in 1856, expressed a prefference in State Convention for a candidate for the Presidency. The first instance was for Gen eral Lane and the second for Senator Bright. The Sentinel now favors the recommendation of Senator Douglas for President by the ap proaching Eleventh-of-January Convention. Two thirds of the party at least are in his favor. Will of Elizabeth Cleo. In October, last a paper purporting to be a copy or memorandum of a will of Mrs. Cleu, executed in December, 1856, was of fered by the contestants, in the Surrogates Court, New York City, to prove the con tents of such *ill which was said to be lost. Witherell having sworn that he had writ ten that memorandum in the later part of December, 1856, when he had the lost will before him. The proponent's counsel put Mr. Harrison Garfield, a paper manufactur er from Massachusetts, who testified that the paper on which such memorandum was written, was made at his mills, but that it was nit made in December, 1856 ; that they did not make that kind of paper till July 1857, and that judging from the tex ture and quality, he was of the opinion that it wag made late in 1e53. This evidence produced a profound sensation in court, and during the cross examination of this witness, .lohn E. Devlin, one of the contes tants, attempted to walk out of the court room with the paper written by Witherell, but was stopped by one of the counsel for the proponent. Thu science defeats ras cality. Sett ect Ulm Rigid. Henry Ward Beecher went to Philadelphia to lecture last week, and supposing that his au dience were mainly of the Abolition arid Union hating stripe, he went out of 1114 way to glorify John Brown and to denounce those who had censured him. He wai cut short, however, by one of the most violent storms of hisses which were ever aimed at a roan who was defying publn sentiment, and insulting persons who came to a lecture which was avowedly only literary The uproar for a time created con siderable panic. Through the forbearance of those who execrated the sentiments .or the speaker, he was allowed to proceed, after a suitable hissing, w ith his remarks.
