Now as to transportation -of merchandise and pro.
*lee. A very intelligent businevs man at Browns
viße hue furnished the following statement of the ordi
nary sates of carriage:
Merchandise from Cumberland
to Wheeling, •
bbfrebandise from Cumberland
Itr Brownsville,
Produce from W heeling to Corn
leriand,
Produce 'from Brownsville to
Cumberland, 700 "
the - Spring, when the largest amount of transpor
tation over the mountains takes place, carriages be
;bemie higher, and are about as follow s:
frera Cumberland to Wheeling, $2O 00 per tub.
!atom Cumberland to Brownsville. 12 50 "
- As the distance from Cumberland to Brownsville is
lets titan per cent of that from Cumberland to
Wheeling, it is obvious that the same number of wa
goes and horses would, in the same time, transport
*early twice as much to Brownsville as to Wheeling.
Or seventy five wagons would transport as much be
tbreen Cumberland and Brownsville as ens bundled
land' thirty-one %spn would between Cumberland
sand 'Wheeling.
The same gentleman has the following additional
temasks:
"Supposing the price of freight to be the snme front
Tittaburgh,iritd Wheeling to points below, and the ex
penses of re-shipping to be the so meat both these pla
tes, I make the cost of a ton of merchandise from
'Cumberland, via
1 1Wheeling to Louisville, • $l9 -50
ame from Cumberland via the Monongahela
16 40
This estimate supposes the goods tb be re-shipped
at Pittsburgh mid- to pay Commission there, v. Lich
might sometimes be avoided or reduced.
The receipt time from Baltimore to Wheeling is
nine days; to Brownsville five days--add one day to
Pittsburgh rind it loaves' three days less to Pittsburgh
t4a.toWheeling; so that goods can be taken from
B2tirttoi6 by the Monangaltela Improvement to Lou

Tbis statement. we think, must satisfy all intelligent
- travelers and business men, that the new and improved
:arm by the Mongetheia river possesses decided advan-
'--
- There err, too, connected with the region passed
dough, historical recollections of more than ordinary
siusterestte Americans. Washington on his first visit
- to this - cououvalled on Aliquippa; Queen of the Dela
'warts, at the mouth of the Youghiogheny, where M -
Keespogt
now stands, who then had her royal residence
'there. A short distance below, on the east bank of
the Monongahela, on the morning of the 9th of July,
-1755, Braddock's army was arrayed in all the pride,
'romp and circumstance of glorious war; there that
-proud, boastful, though gallant soldier, was seen elated
'erith'the confident assurance that on that very evening
his long and toilsome march would be brought to a
- glorious conclusion by the capture of Fort Duquesne,
—there also were seen Sir Peter lialket, Sir John St.
Clair, and poor Midshipman Spent - haw,. who, by some
'strange fatality, was led to wander from his home on
the ocean, to fall a sacrifice to the Indian scalping
'knife or tomahawk on the bank of some distant and
—almost unknown river,—there, too, was also seen our
..^owa Washington, then nn undistinguished and almost
despised Major of a mere provincial battalion,—there,
sfmally, were seen the gallant followers of an unfurtu
4en9teleader.
A short distance below the mouth of Turtle Creek, I
, non the same 9th July 1755, this same gallant band,
,'might be seen once more on the eastern bank of the
Monongahela, -having crossed twice within t hree miles
:lsharmorning. Nothing had occurred to alarm their s

with a triumphant conclusion; their rear bad yet

1837; 1 have felt a deep interest. as well as'the utmost
confidence in your ultimate success, and it would af
ford me thehighest gratification to witness the full
fiuit - .on uf your public spirited labors.
1 feel 'satisfied that your great work is destined to i
be ono of our most valuable channels of inter-tom
munication,—passing, as it does, through one of the
richest coal basins in the world—surrounded by a
populous and fertile country—leading directly towards
en important, but hitherto little expiated iron region
—forming a happy link in one of the most pleasant
and convenient routes between the east and thewest—

Some years ago, a populous town, located towards
the interior of Mississippi,. was infested by a gang of
blacklegs, who amused themselves at times, when they
could find nobody else to pluck. by preying upon each
other. A• new importation of these sporting gentry
excited some alarm among the inhabitants, lest they
should be completely arcrruu—they determined there
fore on their expulsion. A poor devil of a country Ed
itor, who was expected by virtue of his vocation to
take upon himself all the responsibilities from which
others might choose to shrink, was peremptorily call
ed upon by hie "patrons"—that is, those who paid him
two dollars a year fur his paper, and therefore presum
ed they owned him, soul and budr—to make an effort
towards the extermination of the enemy. The unfor
tunate editor, like most of editors, being gifted with
' just about as much bruins as money—skull and purse
I both empty—said at once that he would indite a •flash
et,' one that would undoubtedly 411 i% e tbu obnoxious
vermin into some more hospitable region. And when
hispapet appeared, it was a "flasher," sure enough.—
In the course of his observations, he gave the initials
of several of the fraternity, whom he advised to leave
town as speedily as possible, if they had the slightest
desire to save their bacon.
- -
The next morning, while the poor scribe was com
fortably seated in his office, listlevily fumbling over a
meagre parcel of exchanges, he heard footsteps on
the stairs, and pileaently au iodividual.hauins• " accom
plished the ascent, mode his appearance. His first
salutation was slightly abrupt.
••Where's the allure of this d—d dirty, lying paper?"
Now, aside from the rudeness of this opening inter
rogatory, there were other considerations to induce
the editor to believe that there was stouble on foot.—
The personage who addressed him, bore a cowhide in
his hand; and, moreover, seemed to be exceedingly
enraged. This was not all—he recognized in him a
distinguished leader of the sponing fraternity, with
whose cognomen he had taken very irreverent liberties.
It was without the slightest hesitation, therefore, that
'be replied to the - introductory query :
"I don't know."
"Do von belong to the concern?"
"No, ituleed, but I presume the editor will soon be
"Well," Aid the visitor, "I will wait for him,"
and suiting the =floe tr.* word, be composedly took
a chair, picked up a paper, and commenced reading.
"If I meet him," said the frightened knight of the
scissors And quill, "I will tell him thereis a. gentleman
here wishes to see him."
As he reached the foot of the Stairs, in his hasty re
treat, lie was accosted by another person, who thus
made himself known:
"Can you tell me where I can find the sneaking ras
cat who has charge of this villainous sheet?" producing
the last number of" Freedom's Echo and the Battle Ate
of Liberty."
"Yes," replied ;the editor, "he is up there in the of
fice now reading, with his back to the door." .
"Thank you," exelaithed the stranger, as be bounc
ed up stairs. •
"I've got you, have I," ejaculated he, ashe made a
grasp at bisbrother in iniquity, and they came crash
ins'b to the floor together.
As the combatants, notwithstanding the similarity
of their vocation, happened to be unacquainted with
each other. "a very pretty quarrel" ensued. First one
was at the top, then the other—blow followed blow,
kiek followed kick, and oath followed oath, until brei.
sed, exhausted add bloody, with faces and features re
sembling
Deaf Barite afters two hours pugilistic en-
Lcounter, there was by mutual consent a cessation of
hostilities. As the warriors sat oa the floor contem
plating each other, the first corner found bunch
enough to oils,
"Who ate you, what did yon attack me for?"
"You abused ms in your paper, your scoundrel."
"Me! I'm not the editor, I came here to flog hint
myself!''
Mutual explanations and apologies ensued, and the
two •mistaken gentlemen retited to "hind up their
wounds." As the story corneal° us, the distinguished
individual Whose vocation it was to enlighten the world
the aid of tbatgreat engine, the public Tress, escaped
Scot-free.—Crescent City.
A Monstrous Feat.—As running ten miles within
the hour seems to be "all the rage perhaps the fol
lawieg notice of a still more arriou:„-fitat lately uperfurtn-
ed in Eugiand may not be uninteresting. Tho match
was to run 10 miles, and jump 100 hurdles in 68 min
utes,-for ten pounds aside. It came off at Vauxhall
Garden, Birmingham, •in presence of two thousand
persons.
"Thirty-eight iiruea•roun ate gardens and 03 yards
made the 10 miles, and threehurdles were placed at
conveirient distances, for the runner to leap over, but
at a given signal ono was taken away, to make the
hundred jumps tight. The signal being given, et
twenty minutes ttilive, Searles, 'the runner, - went off,
jumping the hurdles with all the ease imaginable.
In the third and fourth round he appeared to dog a lit
tle, and in the fourth round, in censequence of 'the pres
sure of the people, ho missed going over a hurdle
but returned and cleared it in a masterly manner. In
the ninth round he touched a hut die 'with hisfeet, re
turned, and

appeared not the least distressed, but kept on, jump

" Honor to Henry Clay.—The friends of Mr Clay
city - are perhaps the nuoat ardent and devoted
of all that great statesman's friends in the whole Vition.
Our mechanics and MilDilfectureN ate preparing nu
merous splendid presents to Mr Clay and Mrs Clay,
and the ladies are raising a fund to present him whit
• service of silver,•'which is oncost several , thnssand
dollars. A proposition has now also been startr.d io
rei•e a 'Nita, ty subscription, to purchase " Mount
'Vernon," the tame uf- Washington, which is offered
for salo, ta,be-presented to Mr Clay, as a sign of , re
gard which shall have some relation to the aepths and
.extent of the feeling entertained by the donors."
k% e clip the above from a letter from Philadelphia
to the Reactors Sun. One would suppose, in read
ing it, •thit the wthig-s istrirported Mr Clay and that 4te
sought the Presidency; only that ha might 'be nide to
indulge in splendid gewgaws and "services of silver."
He must console himself, him the injured nephew of
the crook-backed tyraut,with mock trappings of pow•ei:
" Ile shall have paper crowns is play withal,
But no Coronetine."
Do those -abject and devoted admirers of Clay iota_
gine that the costly playthings they are preparing for
him, will soften the pangs of disappointed ambition, or
soothe the "aching void" in his aspiring bosom?
They are fools to think so fora moment. The ouiy
Medicine that can ever bringcornfort to the sorrowing
and stricken heart of Henry Clay and ease him oldie
soul-sickness which weighs bim down, would be the
power and grandeur of the Presidential office. These
he now feels are - forever removed from his anxious
grasp, and for the rest, he might exclaim,
Vain pomp and glory of the world, I hate ye."
But we• - are - surprised at the proposition to buy
"Mount Vernon" for Mr. CLAY. Wherefore should
they muck him with such's rreseat. He dues not need
it in a pecuniary point of view. He is a rich man,
and he says himself, out of debt and comfortable.—
Surely they should not seek to drag him from his pleas
ant home at Ashland, and bring him to the confines of
his native State, which has so often and so decidedly
rejected him. Why, what comfort could Clay take in
living at Mount V•rnon, with the White House almost
in view, and around him the territory of the Old Do
' minion. His fi iends may be induced to make all their
contemplated presents by kindness, but surely there
seems too mu4:ll of cruelty in their mode of choosing
thent.
BLIND MALICC.—The venom of the editor of the
Wheeling Times metres him as blind as a rattle -spoke
in August. Ili: abuse of Col POs IC is 'df the most
g rots and infamous character, and es Wendy die irod we
tion of deliberate malignity. But yet the point of it,
blind does his hate render him, strikes Ct. a Y hard
er than his successful competitor. The limes says
"a big negro would hare ran as well as Polk." if
this bo true, then a "big negro" would have beaten
the magnificent Harry. This is decidedly a compli
ment to the pampered and bepraised 'embodimeue—
Who would bare thoeght that the idolized candidate
of the Great Whig Tarty would hare been humbled
and insulted, in three weeks after his defeat, by being
put below a "big negro,"—and this, too, by arse of
his own supporters. gust think of it—a man who
aspired to a place among the rulers of the earth, as
signed to a position on the same platform a ith hi. own
"sleek slaves."
WllO OW!C1 tl'?—There is very large Clay ling hang
ing across the street at Second and Almond streets,
Philadelphia. for which no owner can be f id. The
neighbors are anxious to remove •it this inclement
vresther. Initcan find no man willing•tu actoolwedge
himself its proprietor. Who owns it? There ars ntw
no flags and poles in this city, that it would bedifE
culty to find owners fur, at the present time.
"THE Rcreat.tcsa," a German whig paper in CM.
cinnati, has duffed its wbig character and c owe uut in
dependent. It says it cannot go with a party that
supports Nativiern. There is a rree.ioas woven to
whiggery in this city, a German , pent his time
during the canvass in peeving that the Democrats were
the Native party. He ought to try the force of his
eloquence on the editor of the "Republican."
LOOKOUT reit CoUNTEVJEtTS. — The Spirit of the
Times cautions the public against a well executed
counterfeit on the Kensington Bank, of the denomina
tion of $lO, which made its appearancein Philadelphia
on Friday morning. The plate resembles none ever
used by this bank, but is well engraved. As the notes
are dated 4th May, 1841, they might be easily mista
ken in the country for a new issue, and thus initials°
upon thousands. The vignette is au eagle, w ith US.
shield, and a back g. ound of clouds. lArashing
ton being crowned with flowers by a cupid is on one
side of the note, and en Indian and a lady upon the
other side. The note we saw was letter A, number
1314, and the signatures were tolerably well counter
feited. Look out.
A Rtet TY.—At a democratic meeting in I'd issour
the Hon D R Arcersos presented to the people a
large teat of Bread, made from flour produced in Ore
gon, and brought from thence by Ws GILPIN, Esti,.
whose arrival we have noticed heretofore. There wort
much anxiety manifested among the • crowd to get a
morsel of this bread, and those who were fortunate
enough to secure a piece,bave tasted of a rarity in
deed. It will not be long, however, till 'Oregon will
yield sustenance to multitudes of freemen who will
build sm a new empire en the shores of the Pacific,
and send, besides, wealthy stores of the staff df -life to
the "father land" of the bold and adveetnrous colonists
who laid the foundation of the magnificent political
fabric which has been so prosperously commenced.
Mr James Rossast., of Coloathes, Obio, the in
ventor of the Planetarium, has a petition in circulation
praying that Congress wiU vent an appropriation for
the purpose of building a National Planetarium, to be
located at Washington city, in a building to be erected
for the purpose. Although we are opposed to the lav
ishing of monerby Congress, and would be glad to
see the number orprivate .Itelier Bills curtailed, still,
the claims of science, whose votaries are always poor,
should nothe preferred in coin. We hope Mr Rub.
