THOMAS PHILLIPS, EDITOR PITTSBURE H, TUESDAY; FEBRUARYI3, 1844 MR. SNODGRASS' Reroal!--In the Ebensburg Mountaineer of the 7th instant, Mr James Potts, col lector at Johnstown, dissects the late report of Mr Snodgrass, recently reappointed Superintendent of the Allegheny Portage Railroad, by the new Canal Board, in a style which places the superintendent's veradty and knowledge of the business in which he is engaged in no very enviable light. The article of Mr Potts is too long for insertion, but we deem it due to the pub lic and the cause of truth to give a few extracts, hav ing lately published a portion of his report by request. Mr Snodgrass says in his report: "The members of the ; Board are aware that this road 'receives none of the toll for emigrant passengers, it pro -rata portion of which justly belon g s to it. It ap pears to me that some arrngcmonts should be made to remedy this injustice." From the following explanation by Mr Putts, this seems to be an evidence of gross ignorance and inca pacity on the part of Mt Snodgrass: "Some 'three years since, the Board of Canal Com missioners passed what was called 'commutation reso lutions, by which transporters desirous to curry emi grant passengers from Philadelphia or Columbia to Pittsburgh, on the public works, in freight boats,could elect to commute by paying at Philadelphia $2 50 on each and every passenger, and by paying at Columbia $2 on each and every passenger so transported. On ring the existence of those resolutions it is true the ; A. P. R. R. did not receive any pro -rata prcportionof ; emigrant passenger tolls. But that system proved ;o' be the subject of mu'-: peculation a. - ,u fraud. There fore the !ate board of Canal Commissione rs in Febru ary last did remedy this complained of injustice by re scinding those resolutions, arid 3dopting in lieu thereof specific rates of toll on emigrant passengers, which was collected on each division of the main line; a‘; eve ry officer on the public works knows, or should know, because they were so 'approved. If Mr Snodgrass will just look at the toll list of 1843, he will there see the resplendency of hisown ignorance on the subject." Mr Snodgrass save "Daring the past fiscalyear there was no increase of labor in the Hollidaysburg. awl Johnstown depots in consequence of the work performed for the boat slips and trucks The men employed at these places were entirely occupied fur three months in operation s con nected with constructing, improving and repair ing the slips and xrucks." In reply to this, Mr Potts chews "that the trucks were constructed under contract by persons entirely unconnected with the depots at either Johnstown or Hollidaysburgh, or any of the State shops," and that tire repairs done to the slips and trucks by those in the employ of the State did not exceed $2OO. He al so chews that in 1840 but nine persons were employ ed in the Johnstown depot from the 19th of April, the day the trucks were first used, and that ten persons were employed in the same depot during the corres ponding time of 1842. Mr Snodgrass says: "The returns of the Coil( Coll-. at Johas.onn and Hollidaysburg show that $10,487 06 have been col lected for truckage, which in my opinion, is mu.:lt less than should have been expected from the amount of tonnage and number of boats that have passed over this road." This attempt to slander Mr Potts and the collector nt I . lollidaystiorgli is severely handled, and the grossly false data on which it is based eti;setually expes Mt S says, ••2200 section boats have passed over the road." Mr Potts, from the offiaial record, shows that "the number cleared at Johnstown, occupying the state trucks, was 507—the number cleared at Hollis daysburgh coultrnot have been more, if that many"— making at must 1000 passages. Here we have a small mistake of 1200 passages, or in all 200 over double the acluai number. Such falsehoods publicly put forth in a report pretending to be official, are too glaring fur comment: ye upon this data Mr S. bases his estimate of what he calls a lo ss t o the State, on motive power wheel toll. of sls,Blo—an ignorant or wilful exaggeration of $3,010 on this sin gle itetn. To the assertion& Mr Snodgrass that 400 trains of empty trucks passed "vet the read for which the state received nothia,e,r, Mr Potts remark.: "Its absurdity is so apparent that it needs nn (indict contradiction than to sta. e that the Ba.4ins at Johns town and Hollidaysburgh were net et clear of Section boats, waiting for trucks, except on two nr three occa sions when breaches occurred in . the Canal, when the boftts would generally get to the same port, and in that ease the trucks would have to retur., empty for thorn. Thirty trains of empty trucks arc as manyas passed this road." The cost for repairing trucks Mr S. sets down at $6,081 10. \ r Potts shows clearly that in making out this amount he enters $lOOO twice: and proceeds to show by a detailed account of this expenditure that the whole amountesi to only $2,895 79 at both do'ins town and Hollidaysburgh, oil and hauling out includ leaving a net profit fur the use of the trucks of $7,591,- 40. Mr Potts also thews that there wera 8 horses ern 'ployeil by Mr Sat Johnstown, to do the work perform ed at Hollidaysburgh by 4; the difFerenoe in distance qt Hollidaysburg being fully equal to the additional la bor of hauling the Reliance Line boats at Johnstown.

L We copy from the Age of yesterday, the fol. lowing letter written by Major LYNCH, in defence of Hon. W. WILK - tea. Its appearance was the that in iftwon we had that a charge of such an infamous erecter was in circulation; and if there is, we de not uppose that any one would give it the least credit.— uch a story is entirely too improbttble to deserve se rious attention, and on the whole we think it would have been better ifit had not been noticed in the public PITTSBURGH, 19th Feb., 1844. Editor of the Spirit of the Age: SIR: Feeling that you take pleasure in doing justice to an absent fellow citizen, I take the liberty of asking an insertion of the following in your useful and widely circulated paper. Very respectfully, your ob't serv't, D.tvin LYNCIEL TO, THE PUBLIC. On the morning- after the death of our late lamented fellow-citizen, Robert Glass, Esq., Messrs. James Patterson of Birmingham, and John McClure of St. Clair township, came to my shop to purchase some se gars and tobacco. The latter gentleman stated that it was currently reported that Judge Wilkins' conduct had been the 'means of bringing Mr Glass to his death —in rilL.ct that the course of Judge Wilkins had mur dered Mr Glass; while we were conversing upon this subject, Mr Thomas MehatTey, °lna township, came in, arid stated that he had heard the same rumor in his neighborhood, two or three times that morning; I re plied that slanders enough had been coined and circu lated for political effect against Judge WiPsins, without adding the fiendish one of murder to the catalogue. Circumstances require mS constant attention to my shop; orri as I have :lot the requisite pecuniary means, I am unable to contradict effectually the many false statements made by men pretending to belong to the same political party—the same men who persisted in a similar course to prevent Judz,e W. being nominated for Congress, although the defeat of their malignant designs resulted in a signal triumph of Dernocracy, he being elected Gy a majority over the combined vote of Whigrand Antimasonic cnmpetitors, and that too, 1,. a district which gave a Whig majority in 1840, of up wards of 34100 votes. The absenceof a high minded and honorable friend, and Iris consequent inability to defend li 7 mself from such foul slanders as the abcve referred to, impose it upon me ns u duty to State in contradiction the facts which came immediately under my OVVllobsel vation. A short time. before Judge Wilkins' departure for Washington, Mr Glass and himselfcalled, by appoint ment. at my house, in reference to the county Treasur er's bond. Mr Glass said that the errormissione: s and the court had raised the security to $120,040; he be lieved the intention of which was to dept ive him of his office. Judge Wilkins said he could not think of going on the bond forso large an amount, alone, but he ad,. is cid Mr Glass to get several of his friends to join in the bond, and he would cheerfully be one to the amount of $lO,OOO. Mr Glass said he did not expect, nor would he ask, Judge Wilkins to go on for the vvh.ole sum; but proposed that, with several of his friends, he should meet Judge ‘Vilkins at my house, the next day at 2 o'- clock, P. M., agreeably to which arrangement Judge Wilkins and Mr Glass met at my house, the next day nod waited until nearly 5 o'clock, when none of Mr Glass' other friends appearing, Mr Wilkins returned home, agreeing to come again the next day. .-I , cordingly they again met nt my house, and waited about two hours for some other friends of Mr Glass, who had promised to attend; as how erer lAI , I, did not riot come. Mr Wilkins again left for home. These I farts are alone sufficient to stamp the lie upon the vile fabrication above alluded to. MORE SWINDLING. !

By the arriv L al yesterATEST O day morning E of the steam ship Neptune, Capt. Rollins, we have dates from Galveston of Inst Saturday. The most important intelligence tect.ived by our files is that of the shipwreck of the 'schooner Galveston, Capt. , Rickets, and the probable loss of all on board. The schooner sailed from Galveston for this port, on the 15th inst., in ballast On the 25th. news reach ed Galveston that a portion of the deck and other parts of the vessel, which had boon identified, had been driven ashore on Pelicarilsland and Point Boli var. On the night of her departure a norther came lip, which it is supposed may have struck her while un prepared and capsized her. There was on board, be sides the captain, the mate and three or four hands, whose names were not known; young Bryant, a mid shipmsn,who distinguished himself and was wounded in the naval action between the Texan and Mexican vessels off Campeachy; Mr. Degurs, wife and child; Mr. Klein; a German female, name unknown, and i perhaps one or [wt. other persons. A man nettled James Stott was killed a few days ago at Galveston, on board the barque Irene, by a bale of cotton falling upon him while in the bold. The revenue collected at the Galveston Custom House, from Ist Nov. to 25th inst.. was $51,839 42, and will probably reach $55,009 for the quarter, which expires with the month. The amount collected last year for the corresponding quarter, was $26,459 11, or less by one half than that of the present.

According to a return made to the British Parlia ment, there was employed by Englarid in 1842 for the suppression of the slave trade: Ships, 568 Number of guns, 945 Number of men, 8554 The total expenses was £575, 464 or $2500,000 And yet the slave trade is as largely carried on as ev er. AVERAGE MORTALITY OF MANKIND The population of the whole earth has been various •ly estimated at between eight hundred thousand and a million million of souls. According to the "English ,Diary," if we fix upon an intermediiite number, says 916,080,000, and assign thirty years for the continu ance of each generation, we shall find that the "chil dren of men" come into the world and go out of it at the following average:— Every second 1 3,6 minute " hour 0900 " day 24 hours 86,400 " week 7 days 604,800 . " month 30 days . 2, 592,000 year, 365 days 32,536,000 generation, 30 years 946,088,000 Tt thus appeals that every stroke of the pendulum ushers ,a human ',slug into existence, and heralds the departure of another to _"that bourno from whence no traveler returns." VERY GOOD The Brooklyn Eagle m-publishes the following very fair joke: 'A distinguished clergyman of the Universalist de nomination—now a resident in this city—was accused while in - Lowell, of 'violently dragging his wife from a revival meeting, and compelling her to go home with him.' He replied as follow,: "I. I have never attempted to influence my wife in her views, nor her choice of a meeting. "2. My wife has nut attended any of the revival meetings of "3. I have not attended even one of those meetings, for any purpose vrhntever. "4. Neither my wife, nor myself, has any inclina Lion to attend these meetings. 5. 'never had a wife!" ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE The Bristol ( R I) Phrenix has the following extract . from a letter written b) a gentleman on board of the U S ship Fairfield; to hie father, it resident of New port, R. I. The letter was dated at sea, Sept. 25th 1843, after having been at Athens, in Greece. " While we were at Athens, as I was one day ramb ling about among the ruins of some of the temples among other places, I wandered into n cemetery, and, after looleingaround some time,admiring the construc tion of some of the tombs and the beautiful flower beds, I was surprised by meeting the man who had the care of the place, and being addressed by him in good English, we soon became acquairted. "Heared from him !bathe belonged to Bristol, R. 1., which place he left some twenty years ago, during which time he had been fighting forthe Greeks against the merciless Turks,and had soon the former gain their independence. For eighteen years hard figh'ing, he had received nothing as it were—the country being much involved by its protective wars. This man, af ter ascertaining: that I belonged so near him. inquired about many old men in Newport. His name is George iVilson. He took me to his cottage in the cemetery, the only dwelling there for the living. Ilia cottage was neat, and humble. Ho introduced me to his wife and four children. His wife Is a Grecian weeie% beautiful to look at, and seemed very kind; she speaks tolerable good English. "He his a daughter- about fifteen years old, and three hors, yining-r. His whole desire seemed to be to get his family to the United States. Ho has two sons in Bristol, by his first wife, who he says was Ab- ' by Waldron e and that it was her death that caused him to roam from home On leaving, I invited him to ' come on board the ship, and on the Sunday following I ho came on board, with two of his boys. The officers noticed him and on hearing his story, were willing to I assist him to get his family to the United States. The captain r l bis twb boys, who will be taken care of. "The ship's company raised by subscription over one hundred &Hare, and the officers made up a hand somesum for him, ample to pay his expenses to Amer ica: and before this, I think he and his family are on their way tithe United States, where the boys will meet them." Mr Wilson's two sons says, tho Phcenix, are still living in Bristol, and will no doubt rejoice to again meet their fa , hoc, whom they supposed had long since departed this life Ile is well remembered by many of the citizens of tin' town.
